Background
Tang San was reborn alongside several future Shrek companions, retaining memories of his prior life. Upon awakening, he activated the Seagod and Asura godhood seeds, reached level 20, and gained an evolved Blue Silver King martial soul. He resolved to exceed his former achievements and prevent the world-destroying sword. 23
In his previous life, he had elevated the Sea God's divine position to Divine King rank, implemented plans spanning ten thousand years, and placed his descendants in important Divine Realm posts. He regarded himself as the king among Divine Kings before a single sword strike destroyed the Great God Circle and everything he had established. 23
He disclosed his rebirth to his father, Tang Hao, presenting both the Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver King. Tang Hao accepted him emotionally and became supportive of his plans; together, they attributed Tang San's abnormal knowledge and talent to a divine oracle. 24 27
Although he had privately reached level 20, Tang San allowed Martial Soul Hall to conduct his formal awakening ceremony. He concealed his true cultivation and Clear Sky Hammer, publicly displaying only Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power. 25 27
Tang San intended to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ahead of schedule, both to heal Tang Hao and reinforce his own foundation. With Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, he later entered the well, tempered his body against its opposing ice-and-fire forces, and harvested herbs for the Clear Sky Sect. 25 42
He initially left the remaining immortal herbs untouched because his group lacked a Soul Tool capable of preserving living plants. He intended to return for them when the Shrek companions reunited, but Li Taibai later forced him to surrender the ordinary herbs he had collected in Tang Xiao's Soul Tool. 42 48
Following coercion by Qian Renxue's group, Tang San surrendered Ah Yin's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Li Taibai's demand for Ah Yin herself hardened Tang San's resolve to cultivate rapidly, resurrect Ah Yin, and seek revenge against Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue, and Li Taibai. 53 54
At Notting Academy, he reunited with Xiao Wu and met again with the reborn Ning Rongrong. Tang San urged them to control their own fate and build strength through unity. By this point, his early use of immortal herbs and soul-ring absorption had raised him to level 27. 58
He identified the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament seven years later as a turning point in their destinies and proposed leaving for Shrek once Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong reached Soul Elder rank. His plans combined the reunion of all seven companions, the destruction of Spirit Hall, and preparation for the catastrophe that had destroyed the Great God Circle. 58
Before the tournament finals, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao helped him acquire powerful soul rings and a head soul bone in the Star Dou Great Forest, raising him to level 85. Their subsequent attempt to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast failed when three such beasts surrounded them; Tang Hao used Ring Detonation to secure their escape, while Tang Xiao suffered severe injuries. 210
After reaching Slaughter City, Tang San sought one hundred consecutive victories and Divine Slaughter's Domain so that he could begin the Asura God's trial. Li Taibai, Ling Feng, and Ye Fan repeatedly targeted and humiliated him there, while Tang Chen was coerced into assisting Tang San and several others in obtaining their victories. 225 226 227 228
Tang San ultimately accumulated ninety-nine consecutive Slaughter Arena victories as Thousand-Hand Asura and entered a landmark hundredth match involving five candidates for the God of Slaughter. After entering Hell Road with Li Taibai's group, he was forced to scout its hazards while restrained, but used the Eight Spider Lances to attempt an escape before reaching the Asura God's inheritance space. 298 300 301
The Asura God found Tang San especially notable because his soul contained both the Asura and Sea God seeds as well as memories of becoming a dual God King in his previous life. Rather than immediately selecting an inheritor, the Asura God granted Tang San the Asura's Nine Trials alongside the other candidates; Tang San thereafter planned to secure the Asura Demon Sword for Tang Chen and advance to the ninth trial. 302
Following his later ascension as the Sea God, Tang San joined the Shrek Seven Gods in war against Spirit Hall. His conviction that he could repeat the success of his previous life was shaken by Spirit Hall's hidden strength and Qian Renxue's superior dual-martial-soul foundation. 259 260 268
After separating from the other Asura trial candidates, Tang San sought Xiao Wu at the Lake of Life. There, altered Da Ming and Er Ming attacked him as an intruder, refusing to believe that he and Xiao Wu knew each other. His desperate efforts to reach Xiao Wu drew out his Asura power, but he was ultimately overwhelmed before Xiong Jun appeared while restraining Xiao Wu. 304 305 306 307
The Lake of Life confrontation was deliberately arranged after Qian Renxue asked Gu Yuena to complicate his reunion with Xiao Wu. Gu Yuena contacted Di Tian, who instructed Xiong Jun to test Tang San through battle without injuring his vital points or killing him. 304
During the Sea God divine trials, Tang San invoked his direct relationship to Tang Chen to seek Qian Daoliu's protection for himself and the Shrek group. Although Qian Daoliu recognized the calculation behind the appeal, he agreed to protect them until their trials were complete. 330
Tang San later adopted an outwardly affectionate approach toward Qian Renxue while privately planning to manipulate her and use her faction to advance toward Divine King rank. He believed her lack of memories of the final divine war would let him repeat his former strategy of enduring, strengthening himself, and eventually defeating her. 345 346
In the later Jiayu Pass conflict, Tang San died after his divine heart shattered, but the Food God and Goddess of Nine Colors intervened to resurrect him. His restored divine soul and renewed fusion of Sea God and Asura powers gave him an advantage over Bibi Dong alone and subsequently enabled him to confront both her and Qian Renxue. By the later aftermath, however, he was again severely wounded and almost devoid of divine power. 362 363 364 366 369
Appearance
Tang San is a nine-year-old boy during the period in which he is documented as a level-46 Soul Ancestor. 100
- Wields an ink-black Clear Sky Hammer. 24
- His Blue Silver martial soul initially appears as a vibrant Blue Silver King carrying a kingly aura. 24
- The Blue Silver martial soul later evolves into the Blue Silver Emperor. 100
- By age fifteen, he is documented as a level-86 Soul Douluo with Twin Martial Souls. 227
- As Thousand-Hand Asura, he wears simple black clothing and maintains a composed exterior despite the hostility of the Slaughter Arena. 298
- During god-level battles, his blue-white hair and two distinct sets of divine armor are visible. 265
- On the Jiayu Pass battlefield, his Sea God divine armor shines with blue-gold divine patterns, and he carries the ancient Seagod Trident. 259
- After the later dual-god battle, his divine armor is ruined and sheds fragments, while wounds cover his body and his aura is visibly weakened. 369
Personality
Tang San is strategic, patient, and unusually mature for his age, planning long-term steps rather than rushing back to the Clear Sky Sect despite Tang Hao's enthusiasm. 24 25
He is intensely protective of his father, Xiao Wu, and the Shrek Seven Devils. His concern for injured teammates can affect his focus in battle, but he repeatedly endures humiliation and danger rather than abandon them. 107 202 214
His experiences with Qian Renxue, Li Taibai, and Martial Soul Hall leave him driven by vengeance, though he remains capable of restraint when survival or his companions' safety demands it. 54 105 202
Tang San's restraint is pragmatic rather than forgiving. He accepts humiliation to save his companions and postpones retaliation when outmatched, but internally vows extreme revenge against those who harm his allies. 205 225 226
His prolonged captivity in Slaughter City further demonstrates his capacity for calculated endurance. After repeated failed attempts to escape, he conceals his strength and feigns submission while waiting for an opportunity to reverse the situation. 298 300
He is politically perceptive and willing to exploit personal ties for security. At Sea God Island, he deliberately invokes Tang Chen's name because he knows Qian Daoliu values principles and longstanding relationships. 330
As a god, his pride and anger become increasingly destructive. After Golden Crocodile Douluo publicly challenges his authority, Tang San unleashes a battlefield-wide ice-spike attack that kills more than a thousand low-ranking Spirit Hall Soul Masters. 259 260
He can also become desperate when faced with overwhelming odds, sacrificing marine life and eventually burning his divine position to replenish the Shrek side's strength against Qian Renxue. 273 274
His attachment to Xiao Wu can override caution. While confronting Da Ming and Er Ming, he detonates Clear Sky Hammer soul rings and overdraws his strength simply to prove his bond with her and reach her. 306 307
His ambition also extends to appropriating rival resources. He considers Spirit Hall's public distribution of Magic Tool technology wasteful and intends to seize that technology after its overthrow, believing that he could develop it into divine artifacts and super divine artifacts. 197
He is willing to coordinate deceptive explanations to avoid Divine Realm punishment. Before descending to rescue Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, he instructs his companions to portray Dai Mubai's intervention as an attempt to save a prospective inheritor and his own descent as an investigation performed in his capacity as a law enforcer. 177
His apparent affection toward Qian Renxue conceals a desire for control. He privately views her, Spirit Hall, and Li Taibai's faction as tools or stepping stones toward divine supremacy rather than genuine allies. 346
Even when gravely depleted, he continues to conceal his recovery efforts. In the later Jiayu Pass aftermath, he secretly circulates Mysterious Heaven Skill to stabilize his chaotic divine powers, aware that another attack from Bibi Dong would be fatal. 369
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
Tang San possesses the Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Emperor, a rare dual-martial-soul combination. 24 100
- Clear Sky Hammer — Used to resist Li Taibai's giant Green Lotus Sword phantom. 217
- Blue Silver Emperor — Evolved from Blue Silver Grass after receiving recognition from the Blue Silver Forest. 100
- Blue Silver Overlord Spear — His first soul skill, which weaves Blue Silver Grass into a jet-black spear for direct combat. 214
- Blue Silver Cage — Creates a restraining formation of Blue Silver Grass within his Blue Silver Domain. 215
- Blue Silver Healing — Uses Blue Silver Grass to supply life force and rapidly heal his wounds. 214
- Purple Demon Divine Light — Releases a spiritual attack through his Purple Demon Eyes to oppose Qian Lingxi's Angel-based spiritual beam. 217
- Eight Spider Lances — Eight black spider legs extending from his back; Tang San uses them for combat reinforcement, underground excavation, and rapid movement across Hell Road's vertical rock walls. 225 300 302
- Although Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls, he normally switches between them rather than manifesting both simultaneously. 217 268
- Clear Sky Hammer soul rings — By his confrontation with Qian Renxue at sea, the hammer bears nine crimson hundred-thousand-year soul rings. 274
- Emergency ring detonation — Detonates three Clear Sky Hammer soul rings to temporarily force his strength to rank-95 Titled Douluo level against Da Ming and Er Ming. 306
- Growing first soul ring — His first Blue Silver soul ring was formed through the combined efforts of countless Blue Silver Grass and is capable of growth, accounting for its later black coloration. 100
- High-age soul rings and head soul bone — Acquires an eighty-thousand-year first Clear Sky Hammer ring, a ninety-thousand-year eighth Blue Silver Emperor ring, and a head soul bone before the tournament finals. 210
- Divine-trial ring enhancement — The Sea God's Nine Trials increase each of his Clear Sky Hammer soul rings by thirty thousand years, transforming their earlier black configuration into nine red rings. 274
- Arena-wide vine control — Covers the battlefield with densely interwoven Blue Silver Grass to obstruct opponents' movement during the Seven Sacred Pillars challenge. His Overlord Spear appears clear azure in this encounter. 352
Divine Inheritance and Divine Sense
Tang San carries the Seagod and Asura godhood seeds and later acts from the Divine Realm. 23 177
- Divine-sense projection — A consciousness planted in Wang Dong'er activates to save her life and battles Qian Renxue. 173
- Star Shifting — A divine technique used against Qian Renxue; she counterattacks before he can redirect her sword aura. 175
- His divine-sense projection is ultimately destroyed by Qian Renxue's colossal golden sword. 175
- A separate divine-sense remnant left in Wang Qiuer is destroyed and refined by Gu Yuena. 135
- True-body descent — Tang San later descends personally as a dual divine inheritor to intervene against Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena. 177
- Two Gods in One — Xiao Wu merges her divine soul and power into Tang San, allowing him to surpass the combat level of an ordinary divine official and enter the third-level god realm. 263
- Asura's Nine Trials — The Asura God grants Tang San nine divine trials after identifying him as a candidate whose dual godhood seeds can continually nourish and refine Asura divine power. 302
- Projection limitations — His divine-sense manifestation lacks supporting soul rings and soul bones and cannot increase its strength as his true body can, leaving it disadvantaged when Qian Renxue activates her Martial Soul Avatar. 174
- Divine resurrection — The Food God and Goddess of Nine Colors restore him after his death, producing a more stable divine soul and abundant divine power. Chen Qingxuan attributes their intervention to the Asura God's need for a destined successor. 363
- Dual God Fusion — Following resurrection, his Asura authority becomes dominant over his Sea God authority. He subsequently fights through coordinated Sea God and Asura forms that share intent and exchange offensive and defensive roles with exceptional precision. 363 366
Domains and Asura Power
Tang San possesses life-oriented Blue Silver power and a slaughter-oriented divine inheritance that becomes increasingly prominent under extreme pressure. 225 302
- Blue Silver Domain — His primary martial-soul domain; although useful for controlling Blue Silver Grass, it is suppressed by stronger domain wielders in Slaughter City. 225
- Divine Slaughter's Domain — An awakened Asura inheritance domain carrying frigid and bloodthirsty killing intent. 302 307
- Asura God Power — Awakens when Tang San is near death or driven by his need to reach Xiao Wu, strengthening his killing intent and divine-slaughter aura. 307
- Red-Eye Syndrome — A rage-driven state in which Tang San's eyes turn red and he forcibly overdraws his power, though the resulting enhancement cannot overcome Da Ming and Er Ming's combined strength. 306
- Domain resurgence — After Da Ming and Er Ming collapse his domains, Divine Slaughter's Domain revives several times stronger, withering vegetation and chilling the surroundings. The awakened Asura power temporarily gives him combat strength comparable to a peak rank-97 Titled Douluo. 307
Sea God and Asura Abilities
As the Sea God, Tang San wields the Seagod Trident and commands large-scale water-element divine power. 259 260
- Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon — Recalls the Seagod Trident to his hand after it is knocked away. 259
- Azure Sea Rippling Sky — Expands his Sea God divine power across the sky and surrounding clouds, creating an ocean-like divine field. 179
- Sea God's Light — Restores divine power to his allies during the prolonged battle at sea. 273
- Sea's Eternal Resonance — Draws energy from sea creatures across a hundred-li sea region, though using it destabilizes his Sea God status and devastates the affected marine life. 273
- Asura Demon Sword — An Asura divine artifact wielded alongside the Seagod Trident in his battle against Qian Renxue at sea. 274
- Ring detonation and divine-position burning — Detonates soul rings from both martial souls and burns his Sea God divine position to force his strength into the second-level god realm. 274
- Seagod Trident weight — The artifact weighs one hundred and eight thousand jin during combat; its hundredfold gravity amplification applies when a non-wielder attempts to claim it. 19
- Ocean-supported endurance — Draws continuous nourishment from the sea to sustain himself and his allies during prolonged divine combat, although excessive use eventually exhausts the sea's vitality. 272 273
- Sea summoning — His Sea God form summons seawater to extinguish Qian Renxue's angelic fire dragon during the later dual-god battle. 366
- Asura Blood Sword — His Asura form shatters Bibi Dong's Netherworld Rakshasa blade with a blood-sword attack. 366
- Seagod Trident's thirteenth form — Redirects Qian Renxue's strongest sword strike into Bibi Dong's attack, causing the opposing divine techniques to collide and creating an opening for his Asura form. 366
Hidden Weapons
Tang San employs hidden weapons against Li Taibai.
- Li Taibai's superior cultivation allows him to evade and mock these attacks. 107
- Their effectiveness is limited when the opponent's speed and cultivation vastly exceed Tang San's. 107
- Purple Demon Eye — Enhances his visual perception, allowing him to track Li Taibai's movements. 107
- Mysterious Jade Hand — Hardens his hands while launching hidden weapons. 107
- Mysterious Heaven Skill — His internal cultivation technique, used to drive his soul power and movement techniques. 107
- Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — A footwork technique that leaves afterimages and changes his position unpredictably. 107
- His arsenal includes poison-tipped needles, barbed darts, and spinning flying wheels. He launches no fewer than three thousand hidden weapons during his unsuccessful attempt to injure Li Taibai. 107
- He later uses Mysterious Heaven Skill to bring chaotic divine powers under control and recover secretly while severely wounded. 369
Battle Leadership
Tang San coordinates with the Shrek Seven Devils and prioritizes decisive openings over direct confrontation with stronger opponents. 213
- Supports group tactics against Martial Soul Hall opponents. 214 217
- Shares a life-and-death pact with Xiao Wu in an attempted strike against Li Taibai. 218
- His resolve to protect teammates drives him to push beyond his limits. 217
- During the conflict on Douluo Planet, he directs the Shrek Seven Devils in a coordinated divine assault on Spirit Hall's formation. 260
- He draws on the divine power of Xiao Wu and the other Shrek gods to withstand Qian Renxue's attacks. 268 269
- He uses the Shrek Seven Devils' pooled Soul Power to break attacks that none of them could withstand alone, including Ling Feng's overwhelming fist force. 217
- Seven-in-One — During the Seven Sacred Pillars battle, arranges the Shrek Seven Devils in a line so that six companions channel their Soul Power through one another into him. He then summons the Clear Sky Hammer to confront the stacking water-element fusion skill, Sea Burial Pattern. 354
- Dual-form coordination — His Sea God and Asura forms protect one another, alternate pressure, and exploit opponents' exhaustion more seamlessly than Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong can coordinate their separate powers. 366
Relationships
- Tang Hao — Father; Tang San reveals his rebirth and martial souls to him, later works to heal him, and remains fiercely protective of him. 24 25 107
- Tang Xiao — Uncle and Clear Sky Sect Master; recognizes Tang San as a peerless Clear Sky Sect genius and aids the family. 27 42
- Tang Chen — Great-grandfather and former Clear Sky Sect Master; Tang Chen is shocked by Tang San's level-86 cultivation and is forced by Qian Renyou to help Tang San pursue one hundred Slaughter City victories. Tang San later invokes their relationship to obtain Qian Daoliu's protection during the Sea God trials. 227 228 330
- Ah Yin — Mother, a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor who sacrificed herself for Tang Hao; Tang San is determined to cultivate quickly to resurrect her after her soul bone is taken. 24 53
- Xiao Wu — Close companion, lover, and fellow reborn Shrek Devil; Tang San reunites with her at Notting Academy and risks himself to protect her. She later merges her divine soul and power with him in battle. At the Lake of Life, Tang San risks his life to reach her while she struggles against Xiong Jun's restraint. 58 214 218 263 307
- Ning Rongrong — Fellow reborn Shrek Devil; accepts Tang San's leadership after their reunion at Notting Academy. She later bolsters his divine power with her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. 58 260 274
- Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun — Reborn companions and fellow Shrek Seven Devils; Tang San fights alongside them against Martial Soul Hall. 23 213 217
- Qian Renxue — Major adversary; her actions against Tang Hao and Tang San's group fuel his hostility, and she repeatedly defeats his divine manifestations. Her ability to stack two martial souls becomes a major blow to Tang San's confidence. 43 175 182 268
- Qian Daoliu — Initially an overwhelming opponent during the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well conflict. Tang San later appeals to his connection with Tang Chen at Sea God Island, and Qian Daoliu agrees to protect Tang San's group through their divine trials. 42 43 330
- Li Taibai — Hostile opponent whom Tang San recognizes as responsible for crippling Tang Hao at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; repeatedly taunts and overwhelms him. He later restrains Tang San and forces him to scout Hell Road. 47 105 107 225 300
- Ling Feng and Ye Fan — Martial Soul Hall powerhouses who repeatedly join Li Taibai in overpowering and humiliating Tang San, including during his time in Slaughter City. 225 226 228
- Hu Liena — Accompanies Li Taibai, Ling Feng, and Ye Fan during Tang San's Slaughter City captivity and joins them in pursuing him through Hell Road. 225 300
- Gu Yuena — Opposes Tang San alongside Qian Renxue when he intervenes from the Divine Realm. 177
- Qian Renyou — Indirectly influences Tang San's Slaughter City ordeal by controlling Tang Chen and ordering him to assist Tang San's pursuit of one hundred consecutive victories. 226 227
- Golden Crocodile Douluo — A Spirit Hall elder whose criticism of Tang San's godhood and knowledge of the Shrek Seven Devils' ascension provokes Tang San's rage. 259 260
- Da Ming and Er Ming — Xiao Wu's altered soul-beast companions who attack Tang San at the Lake of Life, deny that Xiao Wu knows him, and defeat him despite his desperate attempts to prove his connection to her. 304 305 306
- Xiong Jun — A Ten Great Ferocious Beast who restrains Xiao Wu and distrusts Tang San's claims of love, demanding proof of Tang San's sincerity. 307 308
- Asura God — A divine examiner who recognizes Tang San's exceptional dual-seed potential and reincarnation history, then makes him one of several candidates undergoing the Asura's Nine Trials. 302
- Wang Dong'er — His daughter in the Divine Realm intervention arc; his implanted divine sense protects her, and he returns her and Huo Yuhao to Shrek during his true-body descent. After his crippling, concern for Xiao Wu takes precedence over attending to her circumstances. 172 173 189
- Huo Yuhao — Regarded as Tang San's prospective son-in-law; Tang San returns him to Shrek alongside Wang Dong'er as part of his plans. 172 189
- Chen Xin and Gu Rong — Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo; sacrifice their lives delaying Bibi Dong so that Xiao Wu can carry the critically injured Tang San away. 362
- Bibi Dong — Rakshasa God adversary who pursues the mortally wounded Tang San and attacks again immediately after his resurrection. He overwhelms her alone, then battles her and Qian Renxue together. Her continued presence remains a mortal threat when his divine power is nearly exhausted. 362 363 364 366 369
- Food God and Goddess of Nine Colors — Divine benefactors who cross realms to resurrect him after his death at Jiayu Pass. Their intervention is explained as serving the Asura God's need for a successor. 363
Tang San reassures Xiao Wu of his devotion when the other Shrek companions suggest using Qian Renxue's former feelings to ease their predicament. His subsequent affectionate behavior toward Qian Renxue is nevertheless calculated: he privately intends to manipulate and eventually defeat her. 345 346
Xiao Wu later attempts to rescue him after his divine heart shatters, risking Bibi Dong's pursuit to carry him to safety. Her efforts cannot prevent his death before the gods intervene. 362 363
Story Role / Major Arcs
Rebirth and Clear Sky Sect Return
Tang San awakens as a reincarnator, reveals his identity and twin martial souls to Tang Hao, and gains Tang Xiao's support as a Clear Sky Sect prodigy. 23 24 27
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Conflict
He accompanies Tang Hao and Tang Xiao to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the group confronts Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and Li Taibai. Tang San argues for fairness during Tang Hao's duel and witnesses his family's defeat and humiliation. 42 43 46 54
Tang Xiao prevents him from intervening while Qian Renxue attacks Tang Hao. After Tang Hao breaks the duel's agreement by releasing his martial soul, Li Taibai castrates him under Qian Renxue's authority. Tang San and Tang Xiao can only attend to his suffering, and the family is subsequently forced to surrender the herbs gathered from the well. 45 46 47 48
Shrek Reunion
Tang San enters Notting Academy, reunites with Xiao Wu, and joins Ning Rongrong in planning a future that surpasses their previous lives. 58
He insists that all seven original companions must reunite and that they must participate in the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Although Ning Rongrong suspects a larger conspiracy behind their simultaneous rebirths, he stresses taking control of their destinies and facing any hidden threat together. 58
Conflict with Martial Soul Hall
Tang San's grudge with Li Taibai resurfaces in clashes between the Shrek Seven Devils and Martial Soul Hall's younger powerhouses. He is repeatedly outmatched but refuses to yield. 105 107 214 218
After Li Taibai defeats his hidden-weapon barrage, Tang Hao intervenes to protect him. Qian Renxue then offers Tang Hao a duel with Snake Lance Douluo, with Tang San's freedom and future safety among the negotiated stakes. Tang San places his faith in his father, but Snake Lance Douluo defeats Tang Hao. 107 108 109
During the tournament confrontation, Tang San publicly reveals the Clear Sky Hammer to protect the companions behind him from Li Taibai's giant sword strike. His Twin Martial Souls and Clear Sky Sect lineage become known to the spectators, but Qian Chongming's subsequent attack cracks his hammer and leaves him badly wounded. 217
Divine Realm Intervention
From the Divine Realm, Tang San intervenes against Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena to protect Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. His projection is destroyed, and he later retreats from Qian Renxue's Four Symbols attack with severe injuries. 175 177 182
Before descending, he coordinates an account intended to prevent punishment by the Divine Realm authorities. Upon confronting Gu Yuena directly, he is blasted three li away in a single exchange, underscoring the danger he had already recognized in her. 177 178
Crippling
After burning his potential and sacrificing his divine positions to survive the Four Symbols conflict, Tang San is left with only his left hand and right leg; his divine positions and artifacts are shattered and cannot restore his lost limbs. Xiao Wu transfers half of her divine position to save him, but falls into an eternal coma. 188
Having returned Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao to Shrek during his descent, he no longer attends to their affairs after the disastrous outcome. His attention centers on Xiao Wu rather than his daughter's situation. 189
Slaughter City and Asura Trial Pursuit
Tang San enters Slaughter City intending to earn one hundred consecutive victories, acquire Divine Slaughter's Domain, and begin the Asura God's trial. Li Taibai, Ling Feng, and Ye Fan exploit the city's suppression of soul skills to subdue and repeatedly humiliate him, while Tang Chen is compelled to assist Tang San's progress under Qian Renyou's control. 225 226 227 228
Godhood War Against Spirit Hall
After ascending as the Sea God, Tang San leads the Shrek Seven Gods in an assault against Spirit Hall. He attempts to force its surrender, learns that the God Realm's divine examinations had facilitated the Shrek Seven Devils' ascension, and responds with increasingly devastating divine attacks. 259 260
Battle Against Qian Renxue
Tang San challenges Qian Renxue after she reveals her simultaneous Twin Martial Souls, but she refuses his proposed three-month reprieve. Supported by the Shrek gods and the sea itself, he endures a prolonged battle before resorting to sacrificing marine life, detonating his soul rings, and burning the Sea God divine position to resist her Destruction Angel power. 267 268 273 274
Hundredth Slaughter Arena Match and Hell Road
As Thousand-Hand Asura, Tang San reaches ninety-nine consecutive Slaughter Arena victories and enters his hundredth match amid the unprecedented gathering of five God of Slaughter candidates. He subsequently travels Hell Road under Li Taibai's group's control, scouting the deadly terrain before attempting to escape with the Eight Spider Lances. 298 300
Asura God's Inheritance
Tang San reaches the sealed inheritance space, where the Asura God identifies his dual Sea God and Asura seeds as a source of limitless potential. He receives the Asura's Nine Trials and secretly plans to help Tang Chen obtain the Asura Demon Sword, allowing him to advance toward godhood. 301 302
Lake of Life Search
After escaping the other trial candidates, Tang San goes to the Lake of Life in search of Xiao Wu. Da Ming and Er Ming, altered into far stronger and hostile soul beasts, attack him and reject his claims of knowing her. Tang San overdraws his strength to confront them, only to be defeated before seeing Xiao Wu restrained by Xiong Jun. 304 305 306 307
His near-death condition awakens hidden Asura power and revives Divine Slaughter's Domain, temporarily giving him peak rank-97 combat strength. Despite this recovery, he recognizes that he cannot defeat both beasts and seeks a peaceful resolution because of their importance to Xiao Wu. Her appearance confirms their bond, but Xiong Jun's restraint provokes renewed hostility and a demand that he release her. 307
Xiong Jun then challenges Tang San to prove his declaration that he and Xiao Wu truly love one another and would never abandon each other, dismissing human professions of affection as untrustworthy. 308
Sea God Island Divine Trials
During the younger generation's Sea God trials, Tang San tactfully invokes Tang Chen's name to secure protection from Qian Daoliu. Although Qian Daoliu sees through the maneuver, he agrees to shield Tang San and his companions until their divine trials conclude. 330
After discovering Qian Renxue's identity, the Shrek companions urge Tang San to ease relations and temporarily show weakness. Xiao Wu initially objects to exploiting Qian Renxue's feelings, but Tang San reassures her of his devotion. He later presents affection toward Qian Renxue while privately plotting to use her and her faction for his own advancement. 345 346
During the challenge against the Seven Sacred Pillars, Tang San blankets the arena with Blue Silver Grass to restrict their footwork and fights with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear under Ning Rongrong's sixfold amplification. Against their Sea Burial Pattern fusion skill, he calls for Seven-in-One and channels all six companions' Soul Power into himself before summoning the Clear Sky Hammer. 352 354
Later Jiayu Pass Battle, Death, and Resurrection
Tang San fights Qian Renxue above Jiayu Pass while Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang order the Heaven Dou Allied Army to attack the fortress, hoping pressure on Spirit Hall will distract her and create an opening. The divine duel continues for two hours across the clouds, ocean, and surrounding battlefields, with Tang San initially maintaining abundant divine power. 360 361
Following the destruction of his divine heart, Xiao Wu carries the critically injured Tang San away as Bibi Dong pursues them. Chen Xin and Gu Rong make a final stand to delay the Rakshasa God but are killed instantly. Tang San's remaining life aura disappears, and Bibi Dong declares a three-day deadline for the Heaven Dou Allied Army's surrender. 362
A seven-colored divine light subsequently descends over his body. The Food God and Goddess of Nine Colors resurrect him, restoring his divine soul and power while his Asura authority begins to dominate his Sea God authority. Bibi Dong immediately attacks, but the revived Tang San withstands her Rakshasa Demon Scythe assaults and gradually overwhelms her. 363 364
Qian Renxue joins Bibi Dong, forcing Tang San onto the defensive and prompting him to draw the Asura Demon Sword. His ensuing Dual God Fusion produces coordinated Sea God and Asura forms whose shared intent gradually overcomes the two opponents' cooperation. 364 366
When the women unleash their strongest attacks, his Sea God form uses the Seagod Trident's thirteenth form to redirect Qian Renxue's sword strike into Bibi Dong's attack. His Asura form exploits Qian Renxue's exhaustion to wound her from behind, then approaches Bibi Dong while her concern for Qian Renxue leaves her exposed. 366
By the later aftermath, Tang San is himself gravely wounded: his divine armor is ruined, his Sea God and Asura powers are in chaos, and less than a tenth remains. He secretly uses Mysterious Heaven Skill to recover, knowing that he cannot survive another attack from Bibi Dong in his current condition. 369
