Background / History

Tang San originated from Sacred Soul Village, where Old Jack sent him to Notting Academy as a work-study student. He later became the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils and was regarded as an exceptionally accomplished talent from the village. 18

He is the son of Tang Hao and Ah Yin. During the assessment, Tang Chen reveals himself as Tang Hao's father, making him Tang San's great-grandfather. 14

Tang San enters the Chaos God Assessment as one of nine selected participants. Its Fate Divine Dice repeatedly determine whether he gains rewards or receives punishments, making his progress a cycle of severe losses, recoveries, and tactical counterattacks. 3 6 19 48

Personality

Tang San is proud and defiant toward authority he considers undeserving of his submission. When Gu Yuena orders him to submit and aid her, he refuses despite her threats, accepting the Asura God King's offered protection instead. 13

He is highly strategic in the assessment. He uses Function Cards to suppress opponents, steals Gu Yuena's Invincible Function Card, deprives her of a throw opportunity, and prevents Sky Dream Ice Silkworm from interfering with him. 26 27

His pursuit of personal strength frequently overrides family obligations. He chooses the Super Soul Power Pill instead of the Bloodline Repair Pill that could have healed Ah Yin, later exchanges positions with Tang Chen rather than targeting Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and draws condemnation from allies and relatives alike. 19 48

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Emperor

Tang San's principal martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, though its bloodline is temporarily weakened to Blue Silver King before being restored by a Divine Grade Guiyuan Pill. 17 18 36

• Blue Silver Prison — His fourth soul skill creates Blue Silver Emperor tendrils that restrain opponents. Its defensive power is stated to rival that of an ordinary Soul Sage. 17
• Lightning defense — He endures the Critical Hit Challenge's Lightning Test longer than Sky Dream Ice Silkworm by sheltering inside a Blue Silver Prison. 17
• Blue Silver Overlord Spear — His fifth soul skill condenses a life-energy spear with a sharp aura; used alongside Blue Silver Prison, it defeats Dai Weisi and eliminates him from the assessment. 25

Clear Sky Hammer

Tang San possesses the Clear Sky Hammer as another martial soul.

• The Chaos God strips it as punishment for an odd-numbered roll. 6
• Ah Yin's Divine Grade Guiyuan Pill later restores it. 36

Soul Ring Enhancement

• The Super Soul Power Pill grants him a seventh red hundred-thousand-year soul ring while raising him to level 78. 19
• A later reward increases every one of his soul rings by ten thousand years. 33
• A subsequent punishment removes two hundred-thousand-year soul rings and reduces him to level 58. 48

Function Card Tactics

Tang San uses the assessment's Function Cards aggressively to control the board and protect his position.

• Volley of Arrows — Used against every participant, forcing them to discard cards or counter with defensive cards. 26 27
• Convenient Grab — Used to steal Gu Yuena's Invincible Function Card. 27
• Imprisonment — Used to deny Gu Yuena her throw opportunity for the round. 27
• Delaying Tactic — Used to prevent Sky Dream Ice Silkworm from using Function Cards against him. 27
• Impregnable — Cancels Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's attempt to steal Tang San's Exchange Function Card. 48
• Exchange — Swaps positions with Gu Yuena during his counterattack, then later trades places with Tang Chen to return to the Fifty-second Grid. 29 48

Equipment / Items

• Divine Grade Guiyuan Pill — Obtained from a Divine Grade Lucky Bag; it can restore the body to its absolute peak and cleanse injuries and ailments. 50
• Function Cards — Through the Greedy Double Reward Function Card, Tang San obtains Impregnable, Imprison, Delaying Tactic, Volley of Arrows, Pickpocket, and Double Reward cards. 26
• Throw Counts — As second place in the sixth round, he receives four Throw Counts and exchanges one for a Divine Grade Lucky Bag. 50

Relationships

• Ah Yin — His mother. Their relationship fractures over her loyalty to Gu Yuena: she initially disowns him for defying her master, later restores his martial souls with a Divine Grade Guiyuan Pill, and subsequently uses the Countdown Function Card against him under Gu Yuena's orders. 13 36 48
• Tang Hao — His father. Tang San invokes Tang Hao while asking Ah Yin to support him, and Tang Hao condemns Ah Yin's repeated abandonment of their son. 13 28
• Tang Chen — His great-grandfather and former Clear Sky Sect master. Tang San initially swears revenge after Tang Chen hurts Ah Yin, but Tang Chen later encourages him; their relationship worsens when Tang San uses an Exchange Function Card on him. 14 26 48
• Gu Yuena / Silver Dragon King — Primary rival in the assessment. She demands his submission and threatens his life, while Tang San repeatedly uses Function Cards to obstruct her progress. 13 27 29
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Assessment rival. Tang San defeats him in the Lightning Test, is targeted by his card thefts, and later blocks one such attempt with Impregnable. 17 19 48
• Xue Beng — His student. Tang San defeats Dai Weisi partly to avenge Xue Beng's earlier defeat in the Starting Point Challenge. 6 25
• Dai Weisi — Rival contestant. Tang San traps him with Blue Silver Prison and defeats him with Blue Silver Overlord Spear, eliminating him from the assessment. 25
• Asura God King — Offers Tang San protection after he defies Gu Yuena; Tang San accepts the protection gratefully. 13
• Xiao Wu — Fellow Shrek Seven Devil who continues to support and worry about him after the Soul Beast Race targets him. 15 27

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Early Chaos God Assessment — Tang San rolls an odd number and loses the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, suffering severe injuries. 6
• Defiance of the Silver Dragon King — He refuses Gu Yuena's command to submit, prompting threats against his life and a rupture with Ah Yin. 13
• Sea God Successor loss and recovery attempt — After losing his Sea God Successor status and suffering weakened bloodline potential, he wins the Lightning Test against Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and gains extra throws. 17 18
• Super Soul Power Pill choice — He chooses immediate power over restoring Ah Yin's bloodline, rises from level 68 to 78, and gains a seventh hundred-thousand-year soul ring. 19
• Counterattack against Gu Yuena — He defeats Dai Weisi, obtains six Function Cards through Greedy Double Reward, and temporarily suppresses Gu Yuena and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. 25 26 27
• Forced retreat and position exchanges — Ah Yin's Forced Retreat Function Card sends Tang San back eight grids; he retaliates by exchanging positions with Gu Yuena, though Ah Yin subsequently restores Gu Yuena's advantage. 28 29
• Repeated setbacks and restoration — He gains martial-soul and soul-ring rewards but loses his right arm's soul and later suffers another martial-soul downgrade before Ah Yin restores his Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Emperor. 33 35 36
• Late assessment losses — An odd-grid punishment reduces him to level 58 and removes two hundred-thousand-year soul rings; he then exchanges positions with Tang Chen to reclaim a more favorable grid. 48
• Sixth rest phase — He ranks second in the sixth round and trades one Throw Count for a Divine Grade Lucky Bag, drawing a Divine Grade Guiyuan Pill. 50

Trivia

• Tang San's Blue Silver Prison is described as strong enough defensively to rival an ordinary Soul Sage. 17
• He destroys a Hundred-Year Longevity Pill in anger after advancing only one net grid during the fifth round. 42
• His Divine Grade Lucky Bag reward at the sixth rest phase is considered useless to him because its restorative effect overlaps with the restoration he had already received. 50
