Background / History

Tang San arrives in Martial Soul City with Shrek Academy before the tournament finals. Cen Yu immediately recognizes the group and identifies Xiao Wu as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast concealed among them, placing Tang San and his companions in Martial Soul Hall's sights 7.

During Shrek's match against Star Luo Royal Academy, Tang San uses Blue Silver Grass and the Purple Demon Eye to defeat opponents, demonstrating both tactical awareness and a potent mental shock. Cen Yu considers the Purple Demon Eye a threat and develops Bewilderment as a countermeasure 10.

He becomes increasingly wary of Cen Yu after the latter single-handedly defeats Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Tang San's Purple Demon Eye cannot discern Cen Yu's martial soul, and he concludes that Cen Yu's mental strength may equal or exceed his own 14 15.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament

Tang San leads Shrek through the finals and defeats Star Luo Royal Academy using Blue Silver Grass and the Purple Demon Eye 10. His performance causes Martial Soul Hall's team to reassess him as a serious opponent 9.

Against Martial Soul Hall Academy, Cen Yu's domain seals Shrek's martial soul characteristics and prevents Ning Rongrong from using her soul skills 19. Tang San breaks through Demon Charm at the cost of serious injury and leads the Seven-in-One fusion, manifesting the Clear Sky Avatar 20.

Cen Yu counters with an Avatar of the Miao Shi Heavenly Maiden and a Buddhist chant that collapses Tang San and the rest of Shrek. Tang San's Eight Spider Lances are destroyed before Shrek Academy surrenders 21.

Xiao Wu's Capture

When Bibi Dong exposes Xiao Wu as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Tang San attacks Cen Yu in an attempt to recover her. Cen Yu's thrown spear is stopped only by Tang Hao's intervention 22.

Tang Hao ultimately escapes with Tang San after detonating his soul rings, but Xiao Wu remains behind and is killed by Bibi Dong. Tang San later refuses to focus on cultivation, obsessively seeking information about her fate until Tang Hao confirms her death 23 35.

Later Fate

Ten years after Cen Yu's disappearance, Tang San has only begun accepting his god trials, rather than attaining godhood as previously expected 50.
