Background & History

The Tang Sect had already collapsed by the time Tang Ya entered Shrek Academy. Her parents were dead, the sect’s foundation had been stolen, and she initially possessed little money or support. She worked at a restaurant to survive, and later took a maid job for its fifteen-Gold-Soul-Coin monthly pay. Ke En and her daughter had previously taken her in after she arrived in Shrek City penniless and starving. 4 5 24 27

Mu Guiyun became Tang Ya’s desk mate and one of her first close friends at the academy. His meals, money, food gifts, and other acts of support helped her through her poverty, though she often attempted to conceal her need with playful acting or shameless requests. 5 7 24

Tang Ya retained a strong desire to restore the Tang Sect and avenge her parents. At the grave she made for them in a bamboo forest, she vowed to reach a level where she could take revenge herself. Her insecurity over her talent and her feelings for Mu Guiyun later made her vulnerable to a mysterious voice calling itself “The Emperor.” 46 48

Following the voice into a hidden cave, Tang Ya accepted a black-purple scythe inheritance. The resulting surge of hatred transformed her martial soul into Dark Blue Silver Grass, formed a scythe mark on her forehead, and rapidly elevated her cultivation beyond Level 30. Within her newly accessible Spirit Consciousness Sea, she encountered the inheritance’s phantom mentor: Bibi Dong of ten thousand years ago, whom Tang Ya calls Teacher Dong’er. 49 50

Two years later, Tang Ya used the Tang Sect’s exemption quota to enroll Huo Yuhao as the sect’s first disciple in four years. She later earned a place on Shrek Academy’s reserve team for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. 57 86 87

Appearance

Tang Ya is a black-haired young woman with an expressive face and a noticeably lively manner. Her clothing has varied with circumstance, from a pink maid uniform during her financial hardship to fitted black clothing after her transformation and advancement. 24 57 87

• Often carries herself with playful confidence, hands on her hips or clinging to Mu Guiyun’s arm.
• A black scythe mark can appear on her forehead after accepting the inheritance. 49 76
• Her transformed martial soul and combat aura manifest as black vines, thorns, and blood-red roses. 49 86

Personality

Tang Ya is candid, lively, and thick-skinned, particularly around people she trusts. She loves good food, quickly grows excited over Gold Soul Coins, and treats financial “gambling” as an investment when she believes she knows the outcome. 5 25 31 85

She is also fiercely proud of her position as Tang Sect Sect Master. Although she recognizes her former lack of talent, she refuses to abandon her sect or her revenge. Her grief, inferiority toward exceptional geniuses, and fear of being left behind by Mu Guiyun were central to her decision to accept the scythe’s power. 5 48 50

After gaining Dark Blue Silver Grass, Tang Ya becomes notably more ruthless in battle. She frightens other students with her black aura and scythe, but insists that she is not an Evil Soul Master because she does not harm innocents for pleasure or gain. 86 92 95

Abilities & Skills

Dark Blue Silver Grass

Tang Ya’s Blue Silver Grass mutated after she accepted Teacher Dong’er’s inheritance, becoming a far stronger and more sinister Dark Blue Silver Grass martial soul. 49

• Produces dense black vines, thorns, and scarlet roses. 49 86
• Can bind opponents with Blue Silver Entanglement. 27 92
• Drains life force from trapped targets; during the Death’s Hand operation, it reduced ordinary bandits to desiccated husks. 92
• Its black aura leads observers to suspect her of being an Evil Soul Master. 86 95

Tang Sect Techniques

Before her martial soul’s transformation, Tang Ya already compensated for her low cultivation through Tang Sect techniques and hidden weapons. 27

• Mysterious Jade Hand — Delivered a powerful slap that sent Soul Grand Master Baldy Zhao flying. 27
• Blue Silver Entanglement — Restrained Baldy Zhao’s lackeys and used the grass’s paralytic toxin to incapacitate them. 27
• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — A movement technique she prepared to use to evade Baldy Zhao’s attack. 27

Withering Domain

Tang Ya’s fourth soul skill spreads Dark Blue Silver Grass over a wide area, turning the battlefield into a black-and-scarlet killing field. 86

• Covers an arena with countless strands of black grass and blooming scarlet roses. 86
• Incapacitates multiple opponents during the Outer Court melee. 86
• Combines battlefield control with the life-draining properties of her transformed grass. 92

Scythe Inheritance and Spirit Consciousness Sea

The black scythe inherited in the hidden cave is tied to Tang Ya’s transformation and to Teacher Dong’er’s presence within her Spirit Consciousness Sea. 48 49

• Can be summoned directly into her hand in combat. 86 92
• Left a scythe-shaped mark on her forehead. 49 76
• Grants her access to a Spirit Consciousness Sea and instruction from Teacher Dong’er. 49 50
• Amplifies her hatred and negative emotions, creating a persistent risk of losing control. 49 68

Equipment

• Black scythe — The weapon through which she accepted “The Emperor’s” inheritance. 48 49
• Storage Soul Tool — A wrist-mounted storage tool given to her by Mu Guiyun. 48
• Hidden weapons — Used alongside Tang Sect techniques against stronger or more numerous opponents. 27

Relationships

• Mu Guiyun — Desk mate, benefactor, closest friend, and the person for whom Tang Ya has clear romantic feelings. His support helped her survive in Shrek City, while her affection becomes increasingly possessive and competitive around other women. 5 7 48 76 87
• Jiang Nannan — Close friend and frequent companion. Tang Ya traveled with her to treat Mother Jiang, gave her money for recovery expenses, and later joined her on Shrek’s reserve team. 43 46 85 87
• Teacher Dong’er / Bibi Dong — The phantom mentor bound to Tang Ya’s scythe inheritance. Dong’er instructs Tang Ya within her Spirit Consciousness Sea but manipulates her desire for revenge and power. 49 50 68
• Huo Yuhao — Tang Ya’s first Tang Sect disciple in four years. She used the sect’s exemption quota to secure his Shrek Academy enrollment. 57 63
• Bei Bei — An unwanted pursuer who repeatedly tries to join the Tang Sect and remain close to her. Tang Ya finds his persistence irritating and directly rejects him. 25 40
• Ke En — Restaurant owner and one of Tang Ya’s early benefactors in Shrek City. Tang Ya protects Ke En and her father from Baldy Zhao’s extortion. 25 27
• Ye Guyi — A reserve-team companion with whom Tang Ya shares an unexplained martial-soul or bloodline-like resonance. Their first meeting causes an involuntary intimate reaction from both. 76 85 87
• Ma Xiaotao — Romantic rival for Mu Guiyun’s attention. Their interactions are marked by jealousy, provocations, and mutual suspicion. 87 93 101

Major Arcs

Survival in Shrek City

Tang Ya works to support herself after the Tang Sect’s fall, reconnects with Ke En, and develops a close friendship with Mu Guiyun. She proves that her Tang Sect techniques can compensate for her low cultivation when she helps defeat Baldy Zhao’s protection-fee gang. 5 24 27 28

The Scythe Inheritance

Driven by vengeance for her parents and fear that she will never stand beside Mu Guiyun as an equal, Tang Ya accepts “The Emperor’s” offer. The inheritance changes her Blue Silver Grass into Dark Blue Silver Grass and brings Teacher Dong’er into her Spirit Consciousness Sea. 48 49 50

Rebuilding the Tang Sect

As the Tang Sect’s current Sect Master, Tang Ya recruits Huo Yuhao as its first disciple in years and continues to speak of restoring the sect’s glory. 57 63 112

Shrek Reserve Team and Tournament

Tang Ya uses her Withering Domain to secure a place on Shrek’s reserve team. During the Death’s Hand Bandit Gang mission, she employs her life-draining grass against the bandits while firmly rejecting the claim that she is an Evil Soul Master. 86 87 92
