Background / History

Tang San arrives at Notting Academy with Old Jack as a work-study student. When the academy gatekeeper rejects his certificate as forged, Tang San responds with unusually elaborate insults and defeats the man with Pushing Window Gazing at Moon. The foul language is later revealed to have been caused by a prop used on him by Zhang Tianyu. 2

Yu Xiaogang verifies Tang San’s certificate, recognizes his Twin Martial Souls, and accepts him as a disciple. Tang San kneels to acknowledge him as his master despite initially treating Yu Xiaogang with wariness. 2

At Notting Academy, Tang San’s defiance toward teachers leads to Director Su severely injuring him with soul power. He later becomes increasingly close to Zhang Tianyu, whom he regards as a friend and brother, while secretly planning revenge against Director Su. 3 9

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang obtain his first spirit ring by killing a four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake. The ring absorption is disrupted, reducing the energy he receives and contributing to later instability in his Blue Silver Grass skill. 15 16 20

He later joins Shrek Academy and the Shrek Seven Devils. By age twelve, he reaches level thirty, receives a third spirit ring from a Man Faced Demon Spider, and gains recognition in the Great Soul Arena as Thousand Hand Asura. 66 75 125

Tang San repeatedly suffers from Zhang Tianyu’s concealed system items, including forced baldness, altered speech, and prolonged cross-dressing behavior. He remains unaware that external effects are responsible, while his classmates struggle to manage the social fallout. 122 124 125 129

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San privately celebrates Zhang Tianyu’s apparent death, believing Zhang has monopolized the recognition and affection that should have belonged to him. When Zhang survives, Tang San quickly pretends to be relieved. 239

A carriage connected to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family runs over Tang San and severs his left forearm. Conventional healing cannot restore it; Zhang Tianyu uses Black Death Aura to modify and reattach the arm, leaving it cold, painful, stiff, and decayed in appearance. 250 251 252

Personality

Tang San is intelligent, proud, and quick to retaliate when humiliated. His early confrontations with the Notting gatekeeper, academy teachers, and Director Su show a readiness to answer provocation with either insults or force. 2 3 9

He is also diligent and responsible toward Yu Xiaogang, caring for his injured teacher and trying to solve the malfunction of his own soul skill. 20 21 22

Behind his outward composure, Tang San is deeply resentful of being overshadowed by Zhang Tianyu. He views himself as the world’s heaven-favored child and conceals his jealousy through calculated acting. 239
