Background / History
Tang San enrolls at Nuoding Academy and is introduced to his senior brother, Lu Yi, and dorm mate Wang Shu in the Seventh Dormitory 15. Lu Yi welcomes him warmly, gifting him bedding and making his bed to help ease his embarrassment regarding his family's poverty 15. Shortly after, Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, reveals to Lu Yi and Tang San that Tang San possesses Innate Full Soul Power and the rare twin martial souls: the Blue Silver Grass and the powerful Clear Sky Hammer 16 17.
Following Yu Xiaogang and Lu Yi's guidance, Tang San begins incorporating Soul Power and unconventional ideas into his metal forging, eventually pioneering a Thousand Forging method that vastly improves his hidden weapons 17 20. He also trains diligently, later absorbing a three-thousand-year Dragon Blood Vine as his second Soul Ring 21. Alongside his studies and forging, Tang San takes in Xiao Wu as his sworn younger sister 21, frequently acting to defend his peers while continuously striving to grow stronger under the guidance of his senior brother and teacher.
