Background / History
Jiang Han founded the Tang Sect after gathering Tang San, Oscar, and Xiao Wu as his first disciples. When asked for the sect’s name, he answered “Tang Sect,” then sought a First-Class Sect assessment despite the group numbering only four people. 325
At Saint Pavilion, Jiang Han defeated the assessment opponent—a Level 91 Titled Douluo with nine ten-thousand-year soul rings—using the Meteorite Iron Seal. The Tang Sect’s recognition as a First-Class Sect was announced across the continent, immediately drawing attention from Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky School, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the imperial powers. 327 328
Jiang Han declared that he had built the sect for Tang San and entrusted its ultimate future to him. Tang San accepted this responsibility as the sect’s prospective leader. 329
The group initially possessed no permanent headquarters. After Dai Mubai joined, Jiang Han selected An Yi Town—a lawless settlement also associated with the City of Slaughter—as the sect’s base, citing its suitability for both development and rapid cultivation. The disciples first constructed simple housing on open land at the town’s edge. 331
Following Jiang Han’s defeat of the King of Slaughter, the King’s guards cleared An Yi Town and prepared it for the sect. The central estate became the Tang Sect residence, marked by a gold plaque bearing the sect’s name; the tavern entrance was reserved for disciples, while a separate entrance was ordered for outsiders. 342 343
Headquarters
| Location | Significance |
|---|---|
| An Yi Town | Tang Sect’s established base; situated near the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Star Dou Great Forest. 331 |
| Tang Sect Estate | The largest estate in the cleared town, identified by a gold “Tang Sect” plaque. 343 |
| City of Slaughter entrance | The tavern entrance is restricted to Tang Sect disciples; outsiders are directed through another entrance outside town. 342 |

Recruitment and Training
The Tang Sect’s formal recruitment in An Yi Town used three assessments:
- Soul power test
- Soul Skill demonstration
- Practical combat assessment 343
Jiang Han instructed Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Dai Mubai to screen applicants according to specified names rather than simply accept all talented candidates. Hundreds were rejected; Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were the only successful recruits. 344 345
New disciples receive physical training, soul power cultivation, Soul Skill practice, combat instruction, and strategic training under Jiang Han and Yu Xiaogang. 347
Combat Doctrine and Sect Techniques
- Coordinated seven-person combat — The sect’s core disciples prioritize formations, battlefield roles, and mutual support rather than individual duels. 393
- Protect-the-support formation — Against Spirit Hall, the team used a one-three-two-one formation: Tang San at the front; Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing behind him; Ning Rongrong and Oscar protected in the third row; and Dai Mubai at the rear. 393
- Support amplification — Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda enhances allied attributes, while Oscar’s sausages supply additional buffs and aerial mobility. 383 388
- Hidden weapons — Tang San manufactures hidden weapons capable of threatening Soul Kings and serves as the sect’s principal weapon-maker. 353
- Dragon Whisker Needles — Used in the Advanced Soul Master Competition; Tang San later states that the sect can only produce limited quantities until its development improves. 393 422
- Batwing Reincarnation — The Tang Sect’s tenth hidden-weapon technique, used with Dragon Whisker Needles to overwhelm Spirit Hall’s team. 393
- Sea God’s Light — A combined technique prepared by all seven core disciples during the decisive stages of the Spirit Hall match. 396
Story Role / Major Arcs
Establishment and Recognition
The Tang Sect’s sudden First-Class recognition destabilizes the established balance among the Upper Three Sects, Spirit Hall, and the two empires. Its apparent lack of manpower—only four members, three of whom are children—makes its status even more startling. 328 329
An Yi Town Recruitment
The sect claims An Yi Town as its territory and holds a tightly controlled recruitment. Spirit Hall attempts to infiltrate it with talented spies, while the Clear Sky School considers the sect an ally deserving gratitude. 342
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Jiang Han secures the treasured land around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for the Tang Sect. Tang San and the other six core disciples absorb its energy and substantially improve their cultivation. 363
Advanced Soul Master Competition
The Tang Sect enters the finals as a Seed Team despite its disciples’ extreme youth. 350 379
- Defeated the Fire Leopard Sect, using support amplification, flight, and coordinated tactics. 382 383
- Defeated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, with Tang San’s abilities and the team’s coordination forcing Yu Tianhao to concede. 386 387
- Defeated Spirit Hall in the championship match, employing formations, domains, hidden weapons, and combined techniques. 388 393 398
- Was declared champion of the Advanced Soul Master Competition after Tang San defeated Kai and Xuan Ce. 398
Post-Competition Development
Following the championship and the defeat of Spirit Hall’s leading figures, major factions visit An Yi Town. Jiang Han has the seven disciples receive gifts and inquiries while keeping the sect’s broader capabilities and ambitions concealed; Ning Fengzhi specifically seeks information about the Dragon Whisker Needles. 422
Relationships
- Spirit Hall — Principal hostile force; investigates the sect, attempts infiltration, and clashes with its disciples during the Advanced Soul Master Competition. 342 398
- Clear Sky School — Holds gratitude toward Jiang Han for prior assistance and seeks favorable relations with the Tang Sect. 342
- Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School — Linked through Ning Rongrong’s membership; Ning Fengzhi later approaches Tang San regarding Dragon Whisker Needles. 348 422
- King of Slaughter — Submits to Jiang Han and assists in clearing, organizing, and protecting An Yi Town for the sect. 342
- Star Luo Empire — Connected through Dai Mubai’s enrollment; the imperial family permits him to follow Jiang Han. 331
