Background

Tang San was brought by his father, Tang Hao, to Holy Spirit Village after the Clear Sky Sect withdrew into seclusion following Spirit Hall's attack. Tang Hao had allegedly first returned to the sect, learned of its losses, and then chose seclusion with Tang San. 3

He enrolled at Nuoding Academy with Old Jack on January 1, Douluo Era 2637. At the academy gate, he faced the gatekeeper's mockery over his Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power, but handled the confrontation himself before Yu Xiaogang intervened. Tang San subsequently accepted Yu Xiaogang as his teacher by kneeling and kowtowing three times. 11

At Dormitory Seven, Tang San defeated Wang Sheng and became the new boss under the work-study students' rules, though he initially did not want the position. 12

Appearance

Tang San is described as a thin boy with short black hair, ordinary features, and unusually bright, deep eyes. At his reunion with Ye Yu in Suotuo City, he appeared around twelve or thirteen years old and wore blue clothing. 11 86

• Short black hair.
• Ordinary-looking face.
• Bright, deep-set eyes.
• Often carries the storage spirit tool Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night. 86

Personality

Tang San is fiercely devoted to those he considers family. He pursued the Hundred Thousand Year Titan Giant Ape alone after it took Xiao Wu, refused to abandon Tang Hao despite Ye Yu's threats, and repeatedly defended Yu Xiaogang as a father figure. 98 114 281

He is resourceful under pressure, using the Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Hidden Weapons, and the Zhuge Crossbow to evade ambushes and identify Shi Nian's position within an illusion. 118 180

His relationship with Ye Yu is marked by suspicion and resentment. Although Tang San formally promised to repay Ye Yu after being saved in the Star Dou Great Forest, he doubted Ye Yu's motives and later rejected Ye Yu's demands for gratitude. 99 100 114

Abilities & Skills

• Second Spirit Skill: Parasitism — plants Blue Silver Grass growth on targets. 118
• Third Spirit Skill: Blue Silver Spider Web — web-based control technique. 118
• His Blue Silver Grass had only developed into vines rather than undergoing the evolution achieved by Ye Yu's martial soul. 105
