Background / History

Tang Shan grew up in Sacred Soul Village as Tang Hao’s daughter and Chen Huang’s childhood companion. Unlike the original Tang San, she is female and is specifically identified as Tang Hao’s daughter. Chen Huang and Tang Shan remained close while he studied blacksmithing under her father. 1

At her Martial Soul awakening, Tang Shan displayed far greater spectacle than the other village children. She awakened Innate Full Soul Power and twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass in her right hand and a majestic hammer in her left. Tang Hao declined her offered work-study placement at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, prioritizing her safety and his own plans for her education. 2 3

Tang Hao later personally took her to the Star Dou Great Forest to begin Soul Master training. He made her confront Soul Beasts, guided her through her first Soul Ring absorption, and taught her to wield Blue Silver Grass as a whip. 27 29

After her Blue Silver Grass evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Hao told her that Ah Yin—the Blue Silver Emperor—was her mother. Learning of Ah Yin’s condition made Tang Shan determined to help restore her. 79
