Background / History

Tang San arrived at Nuoding Academy from Holy Soul Village alongside Old Jack. His certificate identified Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power, prompting Yu Xiaogang to infer that he had a second martial soul. Tang San immediately became wary when Yu Xiaogang exposed this secret, but accepted him as his teacher after hearing the reasoning behind the deduction. 3 4 5

At Nuoding, Tang San entered Dorm Seven and repeatedly challenged Yang Yuan. He employed Tang Sect techniques—including Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand—but was defeated; Yang Yuan's Double Pupils could observe and imitate the visible forms of his arts. These losses left Tang San unwilling to concede and determined to surpass his rival. 7 12 14

He developed his Blue Silver Grass under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, obtaining a poison-oriented development path and using Blue Silver Entanglement as his first soul skill. He also used Tang Sect hidden-weapon methods, including stone projectiles and later the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. 12 15 16 61

Tang San's conflict with Yang Yuan intensified through their later encounters. He protected Xiao Wu, analyzed Yang Yuan's ability to copy martial souls and soul skills, and continued pursuing strength despite repeated defeats. During the Soul Master Competition, Yang Yuan's Invisible Giant Hand crushed him so thoroughly that every bone in his body was broken. 60 63 165

After Yang Yuan killed Tang Hao, Tang San vowed revenge. Yang Yuan saw through Tang San's attempt to exploit his guilt and arrogance, but spared him so that he could grow stronger. Tang San subsequently treated surpassing Yang Yuan as the central purpose of his cultivation. 135 195

His cultivation later became impaired by the consecutive absorption of Man Faced Demon Spider soul rings, use of devouring abilities, prior medicine, and injuries sustained from Yang Yuan. Seeking to purify his Blue Silver origin and awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, he traveled to the Blue Silver Forest, where the Blue Silver King revealed that his mother was still alive and expelled him after he attempted to absorb Blue Silver Grass life origin without permission. 233 234 235

After years of searching and cultivation, Tang San entered Slaughter City. He killed the tavern's criminals with the Eight Spider Lances, absorbed their life essence and soul power, and descended through the entrance beneath the tavern. 251 252 He ultimately inherited the Rakshasa God's position and returned to the continent still intent on revenge against Yang Yuan. 265

Appearance

Tang San is introduced as a boy of approximately Yang Yuan's age, with wheat-colored skin and ordinary features. In his later period as a Fallen Soul Master, he wears a black robe and moves through the forest with a cold, evil aura. 3 233

• Wheat-colored skin. 3
• Initially described as having average features and appearance. 3
• Later wears black robes while operating in the Star Dou Great Forest. 233
• His eyes develop faint red veins when contemplating the Eight Spider Lances' devouring ability. 234

Personality

Tang San is observant, calculating, and highly protective of those he considers his own. He quickly recognized that Yu Xiaogang had stopped him for a reason, remained guarded when his Twin Martial Souls were exposed, and later defended Yu Xiaogang fiercely against criticism. 4 11 101

He is deeply loyal to Yu Xiaogang, regarding the master-disciple bond as comparable to a father-son relationship. Yu Xiaogang's grievance against Martial Soul Hall becomes Tang San's grievance as well, despite Tang San initially holding a favorable view of the organization. 5 14 15

Defeat consistently drives him toward greater resolve, but also toward ruthlessness. He refused to accept his early loss to Yang Yuan, attempted a sneak attack with the Godly Zhuge Crossbow after admitting defeat, and later killed the occupants of Slaughter City's tavern without hesitation after judging them evil. 7 61 252

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls, though Blue Silver Grass is the martial soul openly identified at his enrollment.

• His Innate Full Soul Power is considered incompatible with ordinary Blue Silver Grass and led Yu Xiaogang to deduce his second martial soul. 3 5
• His other martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, which he keeps as a competition trump card because external hidden weapons are prohibited. 117
• He later considers switching focus to the Clear Sky Hammer when Blue Silver Grass cultivation slows, but Yu Xiaogang dissuades him. 235

Blue Silver Grass

Tang San cultivates Blue Silver Grass despite its reputation as a waste martial soul.

• Blue Silver Entanglement — his first soul skill; manifests blue-violet vines that bind targets. 15 59
• He selected a Man Faced Demon Spider for his second soul ring and later absorbed another for his third ring. 59 235
• He seeks a Blue Silver Emperor awakening through the Blue Silver Forest, where the Blue Silver King recognizes his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. 233 234
• His foundation and cultivation speed are damaged by repeated Man Faced Demon Spider rings and devouring-related practices. 235

Tang San retains techniques from the Tang Sect.

• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — a rapid footwork technique used to approach opponents from difficult angles. 7
• Mysterious Jade Hand — a jade-lustered palm technique. 7
• Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon — used to draw stones into his hand before throwing them as concealed weapons. 15
• The visible forms of his techniques can be copied by Yang Yuan's Double Pupils, though their full use requires the corresponding inner arts. 7

Hidden Weapons

Tang San relies heavily on Tang Sect weapon techniques, especially when conventional Soul Master combat is insufficient.

• Throws stones along varied trajectories as improvised hidden weapons. 15
• Uses the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in an attempted surprise attack on Yang Yuan. 61
• Intends to forge the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, which he considers a possible means of killing Yang Yuan if he reaches Rank 99. 195

• Yang Yuan — Long-standing rival and the target of Tang San's revenge after Tang Hao's death; Yang Yuan repeatedly defeats him but initially allows him to live. 7 135 265
• Xiao Wu — Close companion whom Tang San protects; he pursues the Titan Giant Ape after it takes her and later stands up for her against Dai Mubai. 15 60 68
• Tang Hao — Father; his death at Yang Yuan's hands becomes a major source of Tang San's desire for revenge. 135
• Old Jack — Elder from Holy Soul Village who accompanies Tang San to enroll at Nuoding Academy. 3
