Background / History

Tang San studies at Shrek Academy alongside the Shrek Seven Devils. He keeps several immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in his Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, regarding them as resources vital to his future strength and the revival of the Tang Sect. 40 43

Xu Zhao arrives at Shrek Academy seeking Tang San's herbs. Tang San initially believes Xiao Wu is the target and prepares his hidden weapons to protect her, but Xu Zhao instead demands Tang San's treasure pouch. 40 41 Though he refuses at first, he ultimately gives up the herbs after realizing continued resistance could cost his companions their lives; Xu Zhao leaves him a single Gold Soul Coin as payment. 42 43

At the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Tang San repeatedly confronts Xu Zhao in public. He challenges the Great Ming Royal Academy's eligibility on age grounds, then publicly accuses Xu Zhao of robbery and appeals to morality and the Great Ming Empire's reputation. Xu Zhao dismisses his arguments, asserting that possession belongs to the powerful. 63 64 77

Personality

Tang San is intensely protective of Xiao Wu. He prepares to fight a Title Douluo rather than allow Xiao Wu to be harmed, continues to resist after her soul beast identity is exposed, and later risks his life to save her. 40 84 89

He is proud, determined, and willing to challenge opponents vastly beyond his strength. His public confrontation with Xu Zhao relies on moral rhetoric and public opinion, but his refusal to retreat turns increasingly into humiliation, desperation, and a fixation on revenge. 63 64 96 97

After losing his arm during Xu Zhao's pursuit, Tang San vows vengeance against both Xu Zhao and the Great Ming Empire. A year later, he confronts Xu Zhao at the Lake of Life to avenge Xiao Wu, his father Tang Hao's leg, and his own arm. 96 97 174

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San possesses Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, which he regards as major advantages alongside his Tang Sect techniques. 65 79

• Blue Silver Grass — used to pull Oscar and Ning Rongrong away from Xu Zhao's True Sun Fire. 41
• Bloodline suppression — his Blue Silver Grass loses control and submits when suppressed by Lan Yiyi's Blue Silver Emperor. 65
• Clear Sky Hammer — retained as a concealed trump card during the tournament period. 79

Purple Demon Eye

Tang San uses the Purple Demon Eye to observe powerful opponents and to scrutinize Xiao Wu's condition.

• Activated when Xu Zhao descends on Shrek Academy. 40
• Pushed to its limit while Xiao Wu's soul beast aura is exposed, causing blood to seep from the corners of his eyes. 84

Tang Sect Hidden Weapons

Tang San employs mechanical hidden weapons as his principal means of challenging stronger opponents.

• Peacock Plume — fires hundreds of poisoned needles in a desperate close-range attack; Xu Zhao's Body Protection Qi vaporizes every projectile. 88
• Yama's Invitation and Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Orbs — used in an all-out attempt to strike Xu Zhao, who uses Xiao Wu as a shield. 89
• His reliance on hidden weapons is severely compromised after Xu Zhao severs his arm. 97

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track

A movement technique used to rapidly intercept opponents and evade attacks.

• Allows Tang San to block Xu Zhao's path during his public accusation at the tournament. 63
• Fails to save him from Xu Zhao's spatially locking attack during the later pursuit. 96

Rakshasa Divine Power

At the Lake of Life, Tang San unleashes purple-black Rakshasa God power, forming a giant skeletal phantom. He burns his life essence in an attempt to release the Rakshasa Ninth Soul Skill, but Xu Zhao kills him before it can be completed. 174

Equipment / Items

• Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges — belt used to store Tang San's hidden weapons. 40
• Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch — formerly held his remaining immortal herbs and other treasures; seized by Xu Zhao. 40 43
• Peacock Plume — Tang Sect mechanical hidden weapon. 88
• Eight Spider Lances — external soul bone; Tang San is unable to deploy it while immobilized by Xu Zhao's spatial lock. 96

Relationships

• Xiao Wu — beloved companion whom Tang San repeatedly tries to protect from Xu Zhao; her suffering and capture drive him into increasingly desperate attacks. 40 84 89
• Tang Hao — father. Tang Hao intervenes to save Tang San from Xu Zhao and later flees with him despite severe injuries. 88 95 97
• Xu Zhao — principal enemy. Xu Zhao seizes Tang San's immortal herbs, humiliates him during the tournament, severs his arm, and ultimately kills him. 43 63 96 174
• Yu Xiaogang — Tang San's teacher and defender at Shrek Academy. Yu Xiaogang attempts to protect Tang San when Xiao Wu is exposed. 40 86
• Dugu Bo — Shrek Academy consultant whom Tang San expects to support him during his confrontation with Xu Zhao. 63 66
• Ning Rongrong — Shrek teammate who attempts to intervene when Xu Zhao demands Tang San's immortal herbs. 42
• Lan Yiyi — hostile Blue Silver Emperor wielder whose martial soul suppresses Tang San's Blue Silver Grass; she has absorbed the soul bone left by Tang San's mother. 65 66
