Background & History
Tang San lived in Holy Soul Village with his father, Tang Hao. At age six, he was eager to learn about the soul master profession despite Tang Hao having forbidden him from pursuing it; Old Jack's insistence enabled him to attend the village awakening ceremony. He had already become acquainted with Xiao Feng through their frequent meetings near the lakeside and came to regard Xiao Feng as an unusually mature, trustworthy older brother. 2
His awakening produced Blue Silver Grass, which Su Yuntao deemed a waste martial soul. Tang San nevertheless insisted on completing the soul-power test and was revealed to possess Innate Full Soul Power. Xiao Feng deduced that this contradiction indicated Twin Martial Souls, prompting Tang San to reveal his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. 3 4
After Tang Hao saw the Clear Sky Hammer, he ordered Tang San to conceal both his twin-martial-soul status and the hammer itself, forbidding him from attaching Spirit Rings to it. Tang San's questions about this warning led him to suspect that his father had once been a powerful soul master. 5
Tang San later learned that Tang Hao was the Clear Sky Douluo. Tang Hao encouraged him to remain close to Xiao Feng for safety, taught him the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique, and supported his departure for Nuoding Academy. 7 9
At Nuoding Academy, Tang San established Xiao Feng's authority in Dorm Seven by defeating Wang Sheng almost instantly. He also became wary of Yu Xiaogang after Xiao Feng challenged the latter's intentions toward Tang San's Twin Martial Souls. 12 17
Personality
Tang San is composed and observant, even when confronting unfamiliar soul-master customs or stronger opponents. He is curious about the world beyond Holy Soul Village, but he does not accept information blindly; Xiao Feng's explanation of Twin Martial Souls persuades him because it matches his own circumstances and long-standing trust in Xiao Feng. 2 4 5
He is intensely loyal to those he considers family or comrades. This is most apparent in his devotion to Xiao Feng, his concern when Tang Hao is injured, and his willingness to invoke his father's identity when Meng Shu threatens the Shrek group. 6 9 90
In battle, Tang San favors preparation, control, and psychological pressure. He evaluates an opponent's martial soul and Spirit Ring configuration before committing to a fast, decisive strategy. 83 84
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
Tang San possesses two martial souls: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer. His Innate Full Soul Power despite awakening Blue Silver Grass is what first exposed his status as a Twin Martial Soul holder. 3 4
- Blue Silver Grass — His primary cultivated martial soul and the foundation of his control- and poison-healer-oriented Spirit Skills. 22 83
- Clear Sky Hammer — A top-tier hammer martial soul inherited through Tang Hao; Tang San has been instructed not to use it except in a life-threatening situation and not to attach Spirit Rings to it. 4 5
- He later uses the Clear Sky Hammer publicly to substantiate his connection to Tang Hao during Meng Shu's confrontation with the Shrek group. 90
Blue Silver Sorrow
Tang San's first Spirit Skill comes from the Thousand-Mourning Nine-Leaf Begonia, a plant-type spirit beast possessing both poison and exceptional healing properties. 22
- Entangles a target with Blue Silver Grass within a ten-meter range. 22
- Can be directed to heal an entangled target or poison them. 22
- Its poison can render targets unconscious or kill them in severe cases; its healing effect restores damaged targets. 22
- Tang San used the skill to bind and poison Ye Zhiqiu during the Shrek group's coordinated assault. 88
Bacteria Seed
Tang San's second Spirit Skill is derived from a 900-year Microbe Tree. 84
- Releases microscopic bacterial seeds that can attach to an enemy's body or be inhaled. 84
- Tang San can trigger attached seeds to poison or explode; a greater quantity of seeds produces greater explosive damage. 84
- When used on allies, inhaled seeds can continuously restore Spirit Power and provide healing. 84
- Requires setup time before its effects can be exploited. 84
Spring Dream
Tang San's third Spirit Skill operates through the Bacteria Seed created by his second skill. 84
- Produces a mist through previously placed Bacteria Seeds. 84
- Forces affected targets into an exhausting dream state. 84
- Cannot be used independently of Bacteria Seed. 84
Fear Cage
Tang San's fourth Spirit Skill originates from the ten-thousand-year Black Demon Leaf. 83
- Creates a seamless cage of blood-red Blue Silver Grass around its targets. 83
- Seals the targets' five senses and magnifies their deepest fears. 83
- Can affect multiple targets at once. 83
- Targets whose Spirit Power is not substantially above Tang San's struggle to escape. 83
- Defeated the Level 43 Soul Ancestor A Qi within seconds by breaking his resolve before physically overpowering him. 83
Tang Sect Techniques
Tang San retains and cultivates techniques associated with the Tang Sect. 19 88
- Purple Demon Eye — A daily cultivation practice he performed at the Holy Soul Village mountaintop. 9
- Mysterious Heaven Skill — Used to enter a cultivation state and steady himself. 13
- Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — Used to rapidly close distance against Ye Zhiqiu. 88
- Mysterious Jade Hand and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon — Used alongside his movement techniques in close combat. 88
- Hidden weapons — He killed one of the forest bandits with concealed Tang Sect weapons during his first combat encounter outside Nuoding City. 19
Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer
Tang Hao taught Tang San this hammer technique after revealing more of his past. 9
- Trains Tang San in blacksmithing and hammer use. 9
- Complements the Clear Sky Hammer, though Tang Hao's restrictions still prevent Tang San from openly developing that martial soul. 5 9
Equipment / Items
- Hidden Sleeve Arrow — Kept ready when Tang San first encountered Yu Xiaogang at Nuoding Academy. 12
- Soul Power cultivation bracelet — Gifted by Xiao Feng; raises Tang San's cultivation efficiency by fifty percent. 62
Relationships
- Xiao Feng — Closest friend and self-acknowledged older brother figure. Tang San trusts Xiao Feng's knowledge, follows his lead, and becomes increasingly determined to remain at his side. 2 5 9 23
- Tang Hao — Father and the Clear Sky Douluo. Their relationship improves after Tang Hao reveals part of his past, trains Tang San, and encourages him to live safely under Xiao Feng's protection. 7 9
- Xiao Wu — Dorm Seven companion and fellow Shrek student. She initially asks whether Tang San and Xiao Feng are brothers, and later fights alongside Tang San in the Shrek group. 18 72
- Old Jack — Holy Soul Village elder who ensured Tang San and Xiao Feng could attend a soul master academy. 4 9
- Yu Xiaogang — An attempted mentor whom Tang San distrusts after learning that Yu Xiaogang sought to use his Twin Martial Souls to validate his theories. 17
- Shrek companions — Tang San leads the team formation during the Star Dou Forest expedition when Xiao Feng and Zhao Wuji deliberately refrain from intervening. 87
Major Arcs

Spirit Beast Forest Ring Hunt

Shrek Academy Admission
At age twelve, Tang San enters Shrek Academy as a four-ring Soul Ancestor. Though frustrated at being overshadowed by Xiao Feng's far more spectacular display, he is recognized as one of the academy's exceptional entrants. 69
Suotuo Great Soul Arena
Tang San defeats the Level 43 Soul Ancestor A Qi by using his ten-thousand-year fourth ring to invoke Fear Cage, exploiting A Qi's fear and ending the match without a prolonged exchange. 83
