Background / History

Tang San enrolls at Shrek Academy alongside Xiao Wu. When Xiao Chen stares at Xiao Wu during registration, Tang San interprets it as improper intent and demands either an apology on his knees or a duel. Although Xiao Chen initially accepts the duel, he concedes before releasing his Martial Soul; Tang San later loses interest after seeing Xiao Chen’s shabby Wooden Bow and White Spirit Ring. 1 2

He later enters the Star Dou Forest with the Shrek group to obtain spirit rings. The group wins a dispute over a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for Oscar, after which Tang San reaches Level 30. Soon afterward, the Titan Giant Ape abducts Xiao Wu and carries her into the forest depths. 62

Yu Xiaogang subsequently reveals to Flender that Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls, though only Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is identified in the available accounts. 69

In Suotuo City, Tang San defends Yu Xiaogang when Xiao Chen and Hu Liena criticize the Grandmaster’s theories. He is confident that Xiao Wu can defeat Xiao Chen, but watches her lose decisively despite Xiao Chen using only White Spirit Rings. Tang San then challenges Xiao Chen to a future spar, but Meng Yiran intervenes to fight Tang San first. 73 74 81

Tang San’s rematch with Meng Yiran begins evenly: his Spider Web Restraint and her Snake Shadow Strangling neutralize each other. In their continued exchange, Meng Yiran’s Red-Eyed Poison Miasma overcomes Tang San’s poison resistance, and Flender and Duke Dragon halt the battle with Tang San at a disadvantage. 81 82 83

After Dugu Bo brings him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San agrees to help resolve Dugu Yan’s bloodline poison. In return, he receives permission to take immortal herbs from the well; he harvests every herb there, consumes two major herbs to gain ice-and-fire immunity, and later distributes immortal herbs among the Shrek Seven Devils. 105 107

Personality

Tang San is intensely protective of Xiao Wu and reacts quickly to perceived disrespect toward her. His first conflict with Xiao Chen begins entirely from this protectiveness, and he remains committed to Xiao Wu when Shrek considers joining Xiao Chen and Hu Liena’s faction. 1 2 76

He is equally loyal to Yu Xiaogang. When Xiao Chen attacks the Grandmaster verbally, Tang San demands an apology and treats criticism of his teacher as a personal affront. 73

In battle, Tang San is cautious and strategic. He probes opponents’ techniques, uses his movement and control skills to create openings, and withholds lethal hidden weapons during friendly matches. 81 82

Blue Silver Grass

• Mysterious Jade Hand — hand technique used to block Meng Yiran’s poisonous Snake Blades. 81
• Mysterious Heaven Skill — cultivation technique used to suppress poison within his body, though it cannot fully purge Meng Yiran’s Soul Bone toxin. 82

Eight Spider Lances

Tang San possesses the External Soul Bone known as the Eight Spider Lances.

• The lances carry a powerful toxin and can pierce opponents in close combat. 82 83
• Meng Yiran’s Red-Eyed Shadow Serpent Torso Soul Bone proves immune to the lances’ poison and can absorb it. 82 83
• Tang San considers the External Soul Bone a trump card and avoids using it casually in friendly spars. 82

Hidden Weapons

• His Zhuge Crossbow is a lethal option he considers using against Meng Yiran but rejects because their fight is not to the death. 82

• Dugu Yan — Recipient of Tang San’s detoxification method, which channels her bloodline poison into a compatible Soul Bone. 105
• Ning Rongrong — Shrek teammate; she receives an immortal herb from Tang San that evolves her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. 107
