Background / History

Tang San entered Nuoding Academy at six years old with Innate Full Soul Power and Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul. Yu Xiaogang concluded that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, earning Tang San's trust and leading him to regard Yu as his teacher. Tang San initially accepted Yu's accusations against Ye Liuyun and looked down on him as dishonest. 1

In Seven Dorm, Tang San established himself by defeating the other work-study students, only to be defeated by Xiao Wu when she arrived and claimed the position of dorm boss. His attempt to expose Ye Liuyun's supposed lie later backfired when Xiao Wu was revealed to be Ye Liuyun's cousin. 2

Tang San sought to recruit Ye Liuyun into his future plan to rebuild the Tang Sect, offering access to Yu Xiaogang's teachings and hinting at his own Twin Martial Souls. Ye Liuyun rejected him, ending Tang San's interest in recruiting him. 3

Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest for his first Spirit Ring. When a 400-year-old Datura Snake injured Yu, Tang San killed it with Tang Sect techniques but spent an hour extracting the venom from his teacher, missing the best opportunity to absorb the stronger ring. He instead absorbed a 300-year ring and received Blue Silver Entanglement. 7 8

After six years at Nuoding Academy, Tang San reached level 29 and graduated alongside Ye Liuyun and Xiao Wu. The three traveled to Shrek Academy together. 12

During the Star Dou Great Forest incident, Tang San chose to return and regroup rather than continue blindly pursuing the Titan Giant Ape that had taken Xiao Wu. He subsequently broke through to level 30 and absorbed the Spirit Ring of an Earth Cave Demon Spider, obtaining his third Spirit Ring. 38

Tang San later became the temporary captain of the Shrek team under Yu Xiaogang's training. He organized the team during endurance training and personally took on Ning Rongrong's burden when she could no longer continue. 46 47

At the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy entrance examination, Tang San endured the soul-power pressure of level-40 Spirit Master Zhilin, impressing the academy committee. 70

When Xiao Wu was exposed as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Tang San protected her despite Bibi Dong's order to execute them both. Later, Xiao Wu confessed her feelings for him after he offered to support her desire for revenge. 87 125

Personality

Tang San is ambitious, competitive, and highly conscious of status. As a child, he sought to establish dominance in Seven Dorm and wanted to use Ye Liuyun as a future asset in rebuilding the Tang Sect. His rivalry with Ye Liuyun repeatedly fuels jealousy, self-justification, and a desire to prove the value of Yu Xiaogang's guidance. 2 3 5 15

He is also disciplined and pragmatic in dangerous situations. He refrained from using lethal Hidden Weapons against the senior students who overwhelmed him, and he chose to regroup rather than recklessly chase the Titan Giant Ape alone. 9 38

Tang San is fiercely protective of those he considers important. He saved Yu Xiaogang despite losing a better Spirit Ring opportunity, assumed the burden of his teammates during training, and defended Xiao Wu when Martial Soul Hall exposed her identity. 7 47 125
