Background / History
Tang San fought beside the Shrek Group in the Star Dou Great Forest, where he reached Level 30 and pursued Xiao Wu after the Titan Giant Ape took her away. When Ji Xuan confronted the group, Tang San used hidden weapons, Blue Silver Grass, the Clear Sky Hammer, and his Eight Spider Lances, but was defeated. Ji Xuan forcibly removed the External Soul Bone from Tang San's back, leaving him severely injured. 72 75 76
Learning that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast intensified Tang San's urgency to save her. Xiao Wu ultimately agreed to sacrifice herself to Qian Renxue after Ji Xuan threatened Tang San's life; Tang San later sensed her loss without knowing its cause. 78 84
After recovering, Tang San pursued strength through immortal herbs, acquiring the Thunder Marrow Profound Spirit Flower in Thunderclap Canyon. He also formed a weapons deal with Ning Fengzhi, supplying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with hidden weapons. 88 91
His cultivation accelerated dramatically after he began adding Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer. At the promotion tournament, he revealed five Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings on the hammer, but his confidence was shattered in the finals when Ji Xuan destroyed his Clear Sky True Body with a single Golden Giant Sword strike. 111 113 119
Tang San later learned that Tang Hao and Xiao Wu had died at Martial Soul Hall's hands. He left Shrek for the City of Slaughter, earned one hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and chose to enter the Hell Road. 126 136
After three years, Tang San returned to Shrek unable to fully control his killing intent. Tang Yuehua sheltered him at Moonlight Pavilion, where he revealed his Asura God inheritance and learned that Ah Yin, his mother, had been a transformed Blue Silver Emperor. 144 145
He later founded the Tang Sect with the Strength, Defense, and Agility Clans. By the conflict at Martial Soul City, Tang San had become the Asura God and overwhelmed the Title Douluo defending the city. 160 172
Appearance
Following his City of Slaughter training, Tang San returned to Shrek in a black robe with a low hood, visibly more mature and surrounded by a cold, oppressive killing intent. 144
- His killing intent intimidated Shrek students, guards, and even Flender, a Soul Douluo. 144
- A dark-red, sword-shaped mark appears between his brows as evidence of his Asura God inheritance. 145
- He previously used eight purple-black spider lances from the Man Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone before they were torn from his back. 76 79
Personality
Tang San is composed and outwardly respectful before powerful figures such as Ning Fengzhi, but he is intensely protective of Xiao Wu and his companions. He promised Xiao Wu that he would protect her even when he recognized that their opponents vastly exceeded him in strength. 70 87
His pursuit of strength becomes increasingly uncompromising after Xiao Wu's capture and the loss of his father. He repeatedly risks fatal Soul Ring absorption, follows the mysterious force guiding him through Soul Shock, and enters the City of Slaughter specifically to gain power for revenge. 111 126
He is also calculating in matters of alliance and resources. When distributing immortal herbs, he prioritized Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong because he believed their backgrounds would better support his future ambitions, while promising Oscar and Ma Hongjun priority another time. 91
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
Tang San possesses Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, granting him two independent martial-soul paths. 81 113
- Blue Silver Grass — used Entanglement to bind opponents; gained a degree of lightning resistance after refining the Thunder Marrow Profound Spirit Flower. 75 91
- Clear Sky Hammer — carries five Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings by the promotion tournament. 113
- Earth Power — increases the hammer's already immense weight. 112 113
- Whirlwind Dance — spins the Clear Sky Hammer into a defensive and offensive whirlwind. 112 113

Tang Sect Secret Arts
Tang San retains techniques and weapon knowledge from the Tang Sect of his previous life. 89 136

- Purple Demon Eye — enhances perception, though it could only catch Ji Xuan's blurred afterimage. 75
- Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — movement technique used to rapidly reach the immortal herbs in Thunderclap Canyon. 91
- Hidden weapons — serve as his principal advantage where Soul Skills are unavailable, particularly in the City of Slaughter. 136
- Limitation: Ji Xuan's barrier completely blocked Tang San's hidden-weapon barrage, and the Man Faced Demon Spider venom on his spider lances could not affect Ji Xuan. 74 76
Soul Bones
- Earth Demon Bear Right Arm Bone — acquired alongside his first Ten-Thousand-Year Clear Sky Hammer Soul Ring; substantially improved his strength and raised him to the peak of Level 44. 111
- Former Eight Spider Lances — an External Soul Bone created after absorbing a Two-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring. It could evolve with its owner, but Ji Xuan forcibly removed it. 76 79
