Background / History

Tang San is Yu Xiaogang's direct disciple and a wielder of twin martial souls: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer. He also possesses Tang Sect secret arts and hidden weapons, which become central to his fighting style and confidence. 7 18

At Notting Academy, he and Xiao Wu lose the finals against Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena after Gu Yuena captures Xiao Wu. Tang San uses Blue Silver Grass, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer, but ultimately concedes. 7

Unwilling to remain overshadowed, Tang San accompanies Yu Xiaogang to Heaven Dou City for special training at the Great Soul Arena. Yu Xiaogang focuses his training on Blue Silver Grass and hidden weapons, while Tang San keeps the Clear Sky Hammer concealed. 18

Tang San repeatedly challenges Shen Yifeng but suffers a series of decisive defeats, including their one-on-one Great Soul Arena match, the Feng-Ling Team battle, and the Soul Master Tournament. These losses become a lasting source of humiliation and resentment. 42 76 118 152

After entering Shrek Academy, Tang San obtains the Poison Spider Arms External Soul Bone and reaches the Soul Ancestor realm. His confidence grows, but his attempts to defeat or recruit Shen Yifeng continue to fail. 110 118

Following the deaths of Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming, Tang San seeks revenge by asking Tai Tan and the Strength Clan to secretly attack Shen Yifeng's group. After the Strength Clan is destroyed, he attempts to recruit the Defense, Breaking, and Speed Clans for a larger ambush. 135 138 150 152

Tang San witnesses Di Tian kill his father, Tang Hao, during the tournament conflict. When Xiao Wu's soul beast identity is exposed, Tang San accepts her without hesitation; Di Tian later removes both of them from Spirit City to protect them from Bibi Dong. 171 172

Personality

Tang San is determined, competitive, and deeply unwilling to accept defeat. His early confidence rests on his Tang Sect techniques, hidden weapons, and belief that he can prove himself stronger than Shen Yifeng. 7 18

His defeats steadily turn that determination into resentment. He remembers humiliation intensely, vows revenge after setbacks, and becomes willing to pursue covert assassination plans against Shen Yifeng rather than face him openly. 42 135 150 152

Despite this ruthlessness, Tang San is fiercely loyal to those he considers family. He remains devoted to Tang Hao and accepts Xiao Wu immediately after learning that she is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit soul beast. 171 172
