Background / History

Tang San entered Notting Academy with Innate Full Soul Power. His publicly recorded Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, though this was later recognized as misleading: his mother was the Blue Silver Emperor and his father, Tang Hao, possessed the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San is a Twin Martial Soul user, with Blue Silver Grass/Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer. 3 27 210

He is Tang Hao's son, a lineage revelation that drew attention from the competing academies and Martial Soul Hall during the tournament. 205 210 258

Yu Xiaogang serves as Tang San's mentor and advises him on cultivation, tactical restraint, and preserving his hidden abilities. Tang San is also seen accompanying Yu Xiaogang during the latter's late-night activities near the Pope Palace. 20 97 103 257

After graduating from Notting Academy, Tang San devoted himself to intensive cultivation and blacksmithing before later enrolling at Blue Tyrant Academy with the Shrek group. During his time at Blue Tyrant, he discovered the lingering spiritual energy beneath the academy's former Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan grounds and developed his Earth Vein Blue Silver domain. 30 229

Personality

Tang San is intensely competitive and has difficulty accepting defeat or even a draw. During Shrek's match against Canghui Academy, he considered using poisoned, paralytic hidden weapons rather than allow the battle to end unfavorably. 97 98

He is also calculating and cautious about revealing his strongest assets. He withheld both his hidden weapons and Eight Spider Lances against Skywater Academy, accepting defeat rather than expose them. 108 109

His attachment to Xiao Wu becomes possessive and increasingly obsessive after she distances herself from him and grows closer to Lin Yi. This insecurity drives him to investigate Lin Yi's background and motives. 9 10 20 29 103

Tang San remains highly self-assured in his long-term potential despite setbacks. After witnessing Lin Yi's growth beyond his own, he reaffirms his belief that his Twin Martial Souls, Clear Sky Hammer, and evolving Blue Silver Grass will ultimately allow him to surpass Lin Yi. 319 320

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San possesses Blue Silver Grass—later identified as an unawakened Blue Silver Emperor—and the Clear Sky Hammer. His Twin Martial Souls explain his Innate Full Soul Power despite Blue Silver Grass being publicly regarded as a weak Martial Soul. 3 210

• Blue Silver Grass — Used primarily for battlefield control and restraint. It possesses a lightning attribute from one of Tang San's soul rings. 17 215 218
• Clear Sky Hammer — His second Martial Soul; its existence was concealed from most observers until he revealed it against Star Luo Royal Academy in Spirit City. 3 29 210 304
• Limitation — His Blue Silver Grass is vulnerable to lightning-based attacks; Yu Tianxin broke through its control with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. 215 216 218

Blue Silver Grass Soul Skills

Tang San uses his Blue Silver Grass to bind, restrain, and control opponents.

• Entangle — Sends numerous vines from the ground to seize a target. 17
• Mother's Embrace — A Blue Silver Grass control technique used against Yu Tianxin. 215
• Parasite — A restraining skill used alongside Mother's Embrace. 215
• Lightning Net Binding — His third soul skill, obtained from a thousand-year Thunder Beast; it creates an electrified Blue Silver Grass net to bind opponents. 227
• His conventional Blue Silver Grass control proved ineffective against Thunderclap Academy's lightning attributes. 215 216

Earth Vein Blue Silver: Spirit Entangle Domain

A self-created domain formed by channeling the earth's spiritual power through Blue Silver Grass. Tang San developed it after discovering lingering power beneath Blue Tyrant Academy, formerly the site of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. 229

• Suppresses enemies' Soul Power circulation and movement speed within its area. 229
• Reinforces Blue Silver Grass, making it exceptionally tough and granting partial resistance to ice and fire. 229
• Has minimal adverse effect on Shrek members and may assist their recovery. 229
• Rapidly consumes Tang San's Soul Power; he cannot sustain it for long. 229 230
• After refining the technique in seclusion, Tang San expanded its range and activation speed, improved its control and offensive potential, and reduced its Soul Power consumption. 301 302
• The improved domain was strong enough to suppress Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's Soul Power and pressure their Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 302 303

Clear Sky Hammer

Tang San publicly used his Clear Sky Hammer during Shrek's match against Star Luo Royal Academy after the opposing pair formed the Hell White Tiger. 304

• Its first displayed strike stopped the Hell White Tiger's claw attack and forced the fusion avatar back. 305
• Tang San used three precise hammer strikes to shatter the Hell White Tiger's offensive force and defeat Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. 305

Purple Demon Eye

Tang San uses Purple Demon Eye to observe opponents and predict their movements.

• Analyzed weaknesses in Canghui Academy's coordinated formation. 97
• Predicted Feng Xiaotian's movements, enabling Dai Mubai to exploit openings. 213
• When used alongside his Spirit Entangle Domain, it allowed him to read the condition and intentions of Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. 302

Tang Sect Techniques

As a Tang Sect successor, Tang San employs movement techniques, internal techniques, and concealed weapons in combat. 13 97

• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — A movement technique that allowed him to evade Xiao Gang's charge and later infiltrate Dugu Yan's poison mist. 13 105
• Mysterious Jade Hand — An internal technique used to empower his palm strike against Xiao Gang. 13
• Hidden weapons — Includes ox-hair-thin silver needles and sleeve arrows. 13 98
• His sleeve arrows carried paralytic poison during the match against Canghui Academy. 97 98
• Tang San possesses resistance to Dugu Yan's poison and used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to penetrate her poison mist and disable her. 105
• He can be fast and ruthless when using Tang Sect methods, according to Dugu Yan's account. 135

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hidden weapons — Tang Sect-style concealed weapons, including silver needles and sleeve arrows. 13 98
• Eight Spider Lances — A concealed External Soul Bone trump card that Tang San declined to use against Skywater Academy. 104 108 230

Relationships

• Tang Hao — Father; a powerful figure whose identity causes Martial Soul Hall and other factions to scrutinize Tang San. Tang Hao secretly observes and protects him, while also worrying that Tang San's lightning-attribute Blue Silver Grass soul-ring configuration is poorly suited to his Martial Soul. 205 210 218 302
• Yu Xiaogang — Mentor and advisor; Tang San seeks his approval before using hidden weapons and receives cultivation guidance from him. 20 97 218
• Xiao Wu — Formerly close companion; Tang San remains deeply attached to her, while she increasingly distances herself from him. As a Skywater Academy member, she later directly opposes and defeats him after his domain is exhausted. 9 20 103 227 231
• Lin Yi — Rival and source of Tang San's suspicion; Tang San investigates him after believing he is influencing Xiao Wu and may know his secrets. Lin Yi's later rise to Level 51 and display of overwhelming combat ability leaves Tang San unable to understand how far he has progressed. 9 10 29 319 320
• Dai Mubai — Shrek teammate who follows Tang San's tactical commands and works with him in battle. Dai Mubai held off Dai Weisi to give Tang San time to activate his refined domain against Star Luo Royal Academy. 213 218 229 301
• Shui Bing'er — Opposing team leader who counters Tang San's Spirit Entangle Domain by ordering Skywater Academy to conserve energy and stall him. 229 230
• Yu Tianxin — Thunderclap Academy opponent whose lightning Martial Soul counters Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. 215 218
• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun — Star Luo Royal Academy opponents whose Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill compelled Tang San to reveal his Clear Sky Hammer. 302 304 305
• Bibi Dong — Pope of Martial Soul Hall who recognizes Tang San as a potential future threat. She considers eliminating him but refrains due to the political consequences and Tang Hao's likely protection. 258 302

Story Role / Major Arcs

Notting Academy Competition

Tang San publicly reveals his Twin Martial Souls, drawing shock from teachers and students. He defeats Xiao Gang using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hand, and concealed silver needles, but receives little applause afterward. 3 13

He later chooses to fight Xiao Chenyu openly with Blue Silver Grass rather than rely on hidden weapons, seeking to restore his public image. 17

Conflict Over Xiao Wu and Lin Yi

After Xiao Wu learns of a fate in which she is meant to sacrifice herself for Tang San, she becomes distant from him and turns toward Lin Yi for support. Tang San responds with suspicion, jealousy, and attempts to uncover Lin Yi's background. 9 20 29

Tang San's inability to accept Xiao Wu's closeness to Lin Yi persists through the tournament period. When Xiao Wu eventually faces him as a member of Skywater Academy, their former familiarity becomes a tactical factor in their fight. 103 227 228

Continental Tournament

Tang San leads and advises Shrek in multiple tournament matches. Against Canghui Academy, he considers using poisoned hidden weapons, but his plan is exposed and the opposing side forfeits after avoiding the attack. 97 98

Against Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San uses Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to enter Dugu Yan's poison mist and force her concession. 105

Against Skywater Academy, he chooses surrender rather than reveal his hidden weapons and Eight Spider Lances. 108 109

Shrek later surrenders to Thunderclap Academy rather than continue expending strength against Yu Tianxin's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, whose lightning heavily counters Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. 215 218

In a later match against Skywater, he refuses to concede despite Shrek's disadvantage and unveils Earth Vein Blue Silver: Spirit Entangle Domain. The technique suppresses Skywater Academy but rapidly drains him, allowing Shui Bing'er to counter by stalling. 227 229 230

Once the domain collapses from Soul Power exhaustion, Skywater Academy counterattacks. Xiao Wu uses Waist Bow to defeat Tang San, securing Skywater's victory. 231

Spirit City Finals

During Shrek's battle with Star Luo Royal Academy, Tang San finds that the opposing team has prepared countermeasures against his hidden weapons. He orders Dai Mubai to buy ten breaths of time, then activates a refined version of Earth Vein Blue Silver: Spirit Entangle Domain. 301 302

When Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun forcefully form the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Tang San faces it alone and publicly reveals the Clear Sky Hammer. He breaks the fusion's attack with three hammer strikes and leads Shrek to victory. 303 304 305

After Lin Yi debuts for Skywater Academy and reveals strength at Level 51, Tang San is shaken by the disparity between them but resolves to rely on his Clear Sky Hammer and Twin Martial Souls in any future confrontation. 319 320

Martial Soul Hall Scrutiny

Tang Hao's revealed presence and Tang San's unusual profile attract Martial Soul Hall's attention. Yue Guan and Gui Mei conclude that Tang San may possess Twin Martial Souls, while Bibi Dong secretly visits the academies' guest-house district amid interest in Tang San's identity. 205 210 258

Following Tang San's refined domain and Clear Sky Hammer reveal in Spirit City, Bibi Dong judges him to be a potentially dangerous future enemy. She nevertheless chooses not to move against him publicly, calculating that doing so could provoke Tang Hao and damage Martial Soul Hall's standing. 302 304
