Background / History

Tang Ya is the sole successor of the Tang Sect. After the sect's decline, the Iron Blood Sect occupied the Tang Sect's former Tiantou City site and killed her parents and elders; Tang Ya was the only survivor to escape. She retained the Tang Sect inheritance and its Blue Silver Grass martial soul while carrying a lasting desire to avenge her family. 17 91

At Shrek Academy, she acted as Huo Yuhao's senior and protector. When he was injured after his conflict with Chu Feng, Tang Ya immediately rushed to the infirmary, demanded to know who had harmed him, and offered to seek justice on behalf of the Tang Sect. 12 She later confronted Chu Feng over Huo Yuhao's injuries and dormitory dispute, insisting that he apologize. 17 51

Chu Feng privately used Thousand Illusions to provoke Tang Ya's grief and resentment over her parents' deaths, casting doubt on Bei Bei, Shrek Academy, and the purpose of rebuilding the Tang Sect. He suppressed her Dark Blue Silver Grass when it began to react, then promised to help her take revenge in exchange for future assistance; Tang Ya accepted the agreement. 51 52

Tang Ya subsequently abandoned her goal of restoring the Tang Sect, identifying vengeance for her parents as her true priority. She withdrew from Shrek Academy so that her actions would not implicate it, then traveled with Chu Feng to Tiantou City. 90 91 During the assault on the Iron Blood Sect, she killed Tie Tang—the man she witnessed murder her mother—by binding and crushing him with Blue Silver Grass. 91 92 After the sect's destruction, she emerged grieving, bloodstained, and directionless. 93

In this vulnerable state, Tang Ya was hypnotized by Chu Feng. He rewrote her memories, removed major emotional anchors, and made her emotionally dependent on him. She thereafter addressed him as “Master” and became completely devoted to carrying out his orders. 94 95

Appearance

Tang Ya is a beautiful young woman with fair skin, an oval face, and a graceful figure. Her hairstyle is depicted as long black hair in a ponytail during her first confrontation with Chu Feng, and later as high twin tails while at Shrek Academy. 17 90

• Large, lively phoenix eyes and a high-bridged nose. 17
• Often wears a light-blue fitted outfit during her early Shrek Academy appearances. 17
• Wears a simple black dress when preparing to leave Shrek and pursue vengeance. 90
• Her eyes can show a dark or crimson coloration when her Dark Blue Silver Grass and killing intent surface. 51 108 127

Personality

Tang Ya is initially impulsive, stubborn, and fiercely protective of those she considers Tang Sect members. She is quick to anger when she believes someone has bullied the weak, as shown by her defense of Huo Yuhao and her repeated demands that Chu Feng apologize. 12 17 51

Her unresolved grief over the destruction of her family and sect makes her intensely revenge-driven. Once Chu Feng directs her attention toward the Iron Blood Sect, she abandons rebuilding the Tang Sect and is willing to leave Shrek Academy to pursue vengeance alone. 90

After Chu Feng's hypnosis, Tang Ya becomes affectionate, obedient, and highly reliant on his approval. She nevertheless shows initiative in Soul Hall affairs, enduring outside pressure rather than escalating problems recklessly and efficiently organizing its Soul Tool education program. 95 103 126

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul

Tang Ya's original martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. It is used for binding and direct physical restraint. 17 92

• Can erupt from the ground in large quantities to restrain enemies. 92
• Bound Tie Tang in hundreds of vines before crushing him to death. 92
• Her martial soul is stated to have limited conventional combat power at level 31. 52

Dark Blue Silver Grass Bloodline

Tang Ya possesses a latent Dark Blue Silver Grass bloodline with a devouring attribute. Its emergence is associated with darkness, heightened aggression, and a risk of mental erosion. 52 108

• Chu Feng initially suppressed its awakening because its mind-affecting influence could interfere with his Thousand Illusions. 52
• The bloodline awakens naturally after she cultivates the Heaven Swallowing Demon Art. 108
• She can manifest black Blue Silver Grass and emit killing intent when angered. 127
• The bloodline's devouring nature can endanger her sanity if the absorbed remnants of living beings cannot be digested. 108

Heaven Swallowing Demon Art

Chu Feng teaches Tang Ya the introductory chapter of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Art, a cultivation method she considers more profound than the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill. 95

• Activates and supports her Dark Blue Silver Grass's devouring bloodline. 95 108
• Is believed to let her digest what she devours completely, reducing the mental harm associated with her bloodline. 108

Jade Phosphorus Nine-Absolute Flower Soul Ring

Tang Ya fuses with a Jade Phosphorus Nine-Absolute Flower under Chu Feng's mental guidance. 167

• Grants her a fourth, black ten-thousand-year soul ring. 167
• The flower's soul is retained within the ring as a companion. 167
• The plant was selected because a plant-type soul master could gain the flower's lethal poison through fusion. 160 161

Relationships

• Chu Feng — Initially adversarial after he injures Huo Yuhao; later becomes the person who enables her revenge and subsequently hypnotizes her into loyalty. She serves as Soul Hall's manager and addresses him as “Master.” 17 51 94 95
• Bei Bei — Tang Sect member and close companion who joined the sect under Mu En's guidance. Their relationship deteriorates after Tang Ya prioritizes revenge and rejects his insistence on Shrek Academy neutrality. 17 90
• Huo Yuhao — Tang Sect junior whom Tang Ya treats protectively, rushing to his side after he is injured and seeking justice for him. 12 17
• Ice Empress — Soul Hall's Deputy Hall Master. Tang Ya initially provokes her, then accepts her seniority and later works alongside her at Soul Hall. 103 112
• Di Qiu'er — Tang Ya becomes affectionate and protective toward Qiu'er after she joins the Soul Hall group. 153
• Tie Tang — Iron Blood Sect member who murdered Tang Ya's mother; Tang Ya kills him during her revenge. 91 92
• Tie Li — Iron Blood Sect Master and Tie Tang's father; his sect is destroyed during Tang Ya's revenge. 92 93

Story Role / Major Arcs

Tang Sect Senior

Tang Ya serves as Huo Yuhao's Tang Sect senior at Shrek Academy and opposes Chu Feng for harming him. Her protective response establishes her early loyalty to the Tang Sect and its members. 12 17

Manipulation and Break from Shrek

Chu Feng exploits Tang Ya's trauma through Thousand Illusions, steering her away from Tang Sect restoration and toward vengeance. Her changed behavior causes Bei Bei to become suspicious, while Tang Ya formally withdraws from Shrek Academy. 51 52 90

Revenge Against the Iron Blood Sect

Tang Ya guides Chu Feng to Tiantou City and identifies the Iron Blood Sect as the group responsible for the deaths of her family. She personally kills Tie Tang, then completes her revenge inside the sect's compound. 91 92 93

Soul Hall Leader

Following her hypnosis, Tang Ya receives startup funds and low-level Soul Tool blueprints from Chu Feng to establish Soul Hall. She oversees its shops, reports external threats, recruits talent, promotes common Soul Tools, and organizes free Soul Engineer courses. 95 102 103 125 126 153

Trivia

• Tang Ya suffers severe motion sickness from Chu Feng's Space Shift, vomiting after only two uses; he uses a flying Soul Tool for their trip to Tiantou City instead. 91
• She initially wants to preserve the Holy Brilliance Star Grass as a keepsake because it is a gift from Chu Feng, but is told to consume it for cultivation instead. 167
• Soul Hall's first and second-level Soul Tools are described as high-quality and affordable, but their mass production provokes sanctions from the Soul Engineer Association. 103
