Background / History

Tang San is a transmigrator who retains the techniques and outlook of his former life. During childhood, he teaches Tang Sect methods to his older brother Tang Yu; Tang Yu rapidly masters everything taught and reaches Tang San’s cultivation stage within days. Tang Yu later reveals that he too is a transmigrator, and the brothers affirm that their bond in this life transcends their past identities. 2

At age six, Tang San awakens Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power. He later reveals a second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, to Tang Hao. Their father permits Tang Yu to use his hammer openly but orders Tang San to conceal his Twin Martial Souls. 4 5

Tang San travels with Tang Yu to Nuoding City and becomes Yu Xiaogang’s disciple through a formal kneeling ceremony. Yu Xiaogang deduces Tang San’s Twin Martial Souls from the incompatibility between ordinary Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power. 7 8

After gaining his first spirit ring, Tang San registers as a Spirit Master rather than joining the Martial Soul Hall. He later graduates from Nuoding alongside Tang Yu, Xiao Wu, and Tang Xiaomi, then travels to Shrek Academy under Yu Xiaogang’s direction. 13 22

At Shrek, Tang San acts as the group’s principal tactician despite Tang Yu being the strongest fighter. He obtains his third soul ring from a Man Faced Demon Spider and manifests the Eight Spider Lances during the absorption process. 29 46 48
