Background / History

Tang San is a transmigrator from another world, carrying martial-arts manuals from the Tang Sect. His internal-energy cultivation and unusually mature mind give him advantages beyond those of ordinary Soul Masters. Su Chen recognizes him as a fellow transmigrator, though from a different world. 80

He becomes the sole disciple valued by the Grandmaster, whose theories Tang San is expected to prove. This makes Tang San a key target for anyone seeking to recruit the Grandmaster. 87

During the National Soul Master Competition, Tang San leads and coordinates Shrek Academy’s battles. His defeat by Su Chen badly shakes his confidence, particularly after Su Chen overwhelms the Shrek team and renders Xiao Wu unconscious. 83 85

After Xiao Wu’s apparent death, Tang San commits himself to revenge against Su Chen and intensifies his training under Tang Hao. He masters the full eighty-one-hammer sequence of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in three months while using a forging hammer. 97 98

Tang San later becomes involved with the God of Evil’s inheritance. Its divine power greatly improves his talent, body, and combat capabilities, but its influence also makes him increasingly violent, aggressive, and dependent on external power. 97 113 115

Personality

Tang San is strategic, adaptable, and highly confident in the advantages granted by his previous life’s Tang Sect techniques. He carefully plans against stronger opponents and relies on control, movement, poison, and hidden weapons rather than direct force. 83 114 122

His confidence suffers after Su Chen decisively defeats him, causing him to question whether he is truly a genius. He seeks reassurance from Dugu Bo and becomes increasingly driven by his need to surpass Su Chen. 85 94

Tang San also seeks Tang Hao’s approval despite their strained relationship. Tang Hao’s sparse praise after Tang San masters the eighty-one hammer sequence leaves him disappointed. 97

The God of Evil’s influence heightens Tang San’s aggression and willfulness. Even so, he can regain clarity and show concern for those he has harmed, as when he saves Taino after poisoning him. 113 115
