Background / History

Tang San's body is that of a child, but his soul originates from another world and is described as that of an adult. He possesses Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, with Blue Silver Grass initially identified as one of them. 10 11

After enrolling at Nuoding Academy, Tang San is recognized by Yu Xiaogang as a Twin Martial Soul possessor. Yu Xiaogang's explanation that no Martial Soul is useless convinces Tang San to kneel and request him as a teacher. 11

Tang Hao secretly watches over Tang San's enrollment and initially considers Ye Xiao a possible future subordinate who could support his son. Tang Hao's attention shifts when he detects Xiao Wu within the academy. 11

Appearance

Tang San is initially presented as a young child, though his conduct is affected by the adult soul within him. During later battles, he bears two yellow Spirit Rings as a two-ring Soul Grand Master. 10 193

• His eyes turn blood-red during his imprisonment-induced rage. 276

Personality

Tang San is cautious, strategic, and protective of Xiao Wu. During his conflict with Dai Mubai, he compensates for a Soul Power disadvantage through binding techniques, concealed weapons, and targeted attacks. 193

Defeat repeatedly forces him to confront the limits of his talent. After losing to Shui Bing'er and Hu Liena, he recognizes the gap between himself and stronger geniuses, becomes frustrated with Yu Xiaogang's inability to solve his Twin Martial Soul cultivation, and resolves to improve. 217 218 259

His imprisonment and loss of power drive him into open despair and fury. Unable to accept Ye Xiao's closeness with Ah Yin or the stripping of his bloodline, he violently attacks the prison bars despite the seal burning him. 276
