Background / History

Tang San is a transmigrator and the original protagonist of the Douluo plane. He possesses Twin Martial Souls and is described as meticulous and ruthless despite his young appearance. 7

While absorbing a Datura Snake soul ring in the Soul Hunting Forest, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang encounter Ye Ye in Godzilla form. Tang San awakens, finds Yu Xiaogang injured, and immediately attacks Ye Ye with Blue Silver Entanglement and hidden weapons. Ye Ye breaks free effortlessly, blocks the weapons with his scales, and knocks Tang San unconscious. Although Ye Ye initially considers killing him, he decides Tang San can still be guided properly. 7

Tang San later meets Ye Ye at Nuoding Academy. After Ye Ye disproves Yu Xiaogang's spirit-ring theories by displaying simulated rings beyond the limits Tang San had been taught, Tang San accepts that his teacher's knowledge is unreliable. He asks Ye Ye to accept him as a foster son, then receives instruction on spirit-master theory, physical conditioning, and broader moral values. 14

Over the following month, Tang San follows Ye Ye's harsh regimen of weighted running, calisthenics, planks, sparring, and reading. The training strengthens his body and raises his Soul Power by one level. 15

By the time Ye Ye returns to Nuoding City, Tang San has rejected Yu Xiaogang's attempts to resume control over him. When Yu Xiaogang harasses Tang San and Xiao Wu, Tang San publicly severs their master-disciple relationship. He continues to address Ye Ye as his foster father and is shown to have maintained his training. 40

• Blue hair. 7
• Blue clothes during his training period. 15
• Develops a visibly stronger physique through Ye Ye's regimen. 40

Personality

Tang San initially shows confidence bordering on recklessness. After awakening from soul-ring absorption, he attacks Ye Ye—a vastly stronger opponent—rather than escaping, believing he can test his newly gained ability. 7

He is fiercely defensive of Yu Xiaogang at first, refusing to tolerate criticism of his teacher. However, he is willing to reconsider his beliefs when confronted with evidence, ultimately accepting Ye Ye's teachings and seeking him out as a foster father. 14

Tang San is disciplined and persistent. He continues Ye Ye's demanding exercises during his foster father's absence, resulting in measurable physical and spiritual improvement. He also rejects Yu Xiaogang after deciding that his former teacher has neither useful knowledge nor good intentions. 15 40
