Background / History

Tang Wulin encountered Li Luo after Li Luo collapsed from saving Na’er. Seeing Li Luo unconscious, Tang Wulin attempted to revive him through artificial respiration, only for Li Luo to awaken and immediately suspect his intentions. Tang Wulin left in low spirits; Tang Ziran and Lang Yue assumed his mood stemmed from his Blue Silver Grass martial soul and sent him to learn blacksmithing. 2

At Red Mountain Academy, Tang Wulin repeatedly arranged “coincidental” meetings with Li Luo at the academy gate, arriving early to wait for him and bringing breakfast each day. His insecurity over being poor and possessing Blue Silver Grass made him believe he was unworthy of Li Luo’s friendship. Li Luo eventually accepted one fried dough stick but firmly declined further breakfasts and asked him not to stay too close. 4

When Red Mountain Academy filmed its Immortal promotional video, Tang Wulin initially refused Lin Ximeng’s request that he portray a girl. He immediately volunteered after learning that the role would be Li Luo’s love interest. He chose a pink sundress, underwent makeup, and played the “Green Tea” character opposite Li Luo. 7 8

The video made Li Luo famous across Aolai City but made Tang Wulin infamous. Girls harassed him as “Tang Green Tea,” forcing him to conceal his identity and flee when recognized. His adoptive parents later discovered him wearing the dress again and sought Mang Tian’s help to redirect his attention toward blacksmithing and competition. 9 12 13

Appearance

Tang Wulin can present convincingly as a girl when costumed for the Immortal promotional video. Li Luo initially failed to recognize him after Lin Ximeng dressed and applied makeup to him. 8

• Selected a pink sundress because he believed Li Luo preferred light pink. 8
• Wore a pale-pink dress, long white stockings, and makeup while portraying the “Green Tea” girl. 8
• His appearance in costume was convincing enough that Principal Gao did not realize the actress was male. 9

Personality

Tang Wulin is intensely devoted to Li Luo. He waits for him, brings him food, carries his luggage, fights those who insult or threaten him, and considers Li Luo more important than his own safety. His admiration regularly becomes possessive, particularly when Gu Yue and Xie Xie seek Li Luo’s attention. 4 26 28 29 39

He is also sensitive about his humble circumstances and Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Early on, insults from classmates convince him that he may not deserve to stand beside Li Luo, yet this insecurity drives him to train as a blacksmith and push himself beyond his limits. 4 5 22

Tang Wulin is earnest but easily flustered around Li Luo. He misreads Li Luo’s politeness as affection, feels conflicted over his cross-dressing, and reacts with panic when public backlash turns his acting role into a citywide scandal. 8 9 12

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul

Tang Wulin’s martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Under Li Luo’s support, it becomes substantially thicker, darker, and more destructive. 4 28

• Can form thick vines for whipping attacks and battlefield control. 28 31
• His Blue Silver Grass predicted Wu Zhangkong’s movement and struck at his intended landing point during Class Five’s training battle. 31
• Li Luo’s Pure Beauty Light increased Tang Wulin’s movement speed and attack power by 20%, turning his grass deep blue-black and powerful enough to force Xie Xie into surrender. 28

Golden Dragon King Bloodline

Tang Wulin bears the Golden Dragon King’s power, sealed within his body behind eighteen restraints. The bloodline grants unusual physical strength, speed, and sensitivity, but becomes dangerous when stimulated by dragon-type support. 4 13 32 39

• Possesses exceptional physical strength, allowing him to carry Li Luo’s heavy luggage without tiring. 26
• His bloodline can erupt to greatly increase his speed when fleeing danger. 13
• Has a heightened sense of smell, which becomes especially noticeable near Li Luo. 4
• The sealed power is attracted to Li Luo’s seven-colored, dragon-related support energy; repeated amplification risks prematurely breaking the seals and killing Tang Wulin. 32 39

Blacksmithing

Tang Wulin trains under Mang Tian and possesses notable blacksmithing talent. 9 22

• Achieved Hundred-Refining in less than three months. 9
• Forced himself through physical exhaustion to complete Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel in competition. 22
• Lost the forging championship to Na’er, whose Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel had already birthed a spirit. 22

Resonance with Pure Beauty Light

Li Luo’s Pure Beauty Light has an unusually strong effect on Tang Wulin. The support leaves him exhilarated and increases the agitation of his sealed Golden Dragon King power. 28 32

• The amplification gives him overwhelming confidence and a powerful physical sensation that he finds difficult to resist. 28 32
• In the mecha crisis, his attempt to draw on this resonance rapidly drained Li Luo’s soul power. 32
• The effect is explicitly considered “poison” to Tang Wulin by Tang San because it attracts the power behind the eighteen seals. 39

Sea God’s Intervention

Tang San’s projection resides within Tang Wulin’s Soul Sea of Consciousness and can intervene when the Golden Dragon King seals become unstable. 32 40

• Tang San stabilized the eighteen seals when Tang Wulin nearly released them all at once. 32
• Tang San temporarily took control of Tang Wulin’s body and destroyed Light Dragon, Guang Biao, and the surrounding forty-nine mechas. This power came from Tang San rather than Tang Wulin’s normal capabilities. 32
• Tang Wulin does not know Tang San’s identity at first and calls him “old grandfather.” 32 40

Relationships

• Li Luo — His closest companion and the focus of his devotion. Tang Wulin persistently seeks his attention, protects him from threats, and is willing to risk death rather than abandon him. 4 28 32 39
• Tang San — His biological father and the Sea God residing within his Soul Sea. Tang San tries to separate him from Li Luo because Li Luo’s support destabilizes the Golden Dragon King seals. 33 39 40
• Tang Ziran and Lang Yue — His adoptive parents. They worry over his cross-dressing and enlist Mang Tian’s help to cultivate his competitive spirit. 9 13 33
• Mang Tian — His blacksmithing master. Mang Tian praises Tang Wulin’s rare forging talent but increases his training after Na’er defeats him in competition. 9 22
• Na’er — His rival in the Aolai City junior forging competition. Tang Wulin achieves Thousand-Refining, but Na’er wins with a flawless, spirit-bearing piece. 22
• Gu Yue — A fellow Class Five student and rival for Li Luo’s affection. Tang Wulin opposes her pursuit of Li Luo and views her as a danger to him. 29 30
• Xie Xie — Initially an opponent, then an uneasy ally. Both are drawn to Li Luo and join Tang Wulin in trying to protect him from Gu Yue and other threats. 28 30 31
• Lin Ximeng — His teacher at Red Mountain Academy, who recruited him to play the female role in the academy’s promotional video. 7 8

Story Role / Major Arcs

*Immortal* Promotional Video

Tang Wulin plays the female “Green Tea” character opposite Li Luo’s banished immortal. Though he accepts the role to act alongside Li Luo, the video’s success makes him the target of viewers who hate his character. 8 9 12

Aolai City Forging Competition

Mang Tian sends Tang Wulin into the junior forging competition to strengthen his competitive spirit. Tang Wulin surpasses Hundred-Refining and produces Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel, but Na’er claims the title with a superior piece. 14 22

East Sea Academy

After three years, Tang Wulin enrolls at East Sea Academy alongside Li Luo. He carries Li Luo’s luggage, challenges Xie Xie after Xie Xie insults him, and becomes part of Wu Zhangkong’s Class Five with Li Luo, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie. 26 27 30

Mecha Crisis

Surrounded by forty-nine mechas, Tang Wulin resolves to save Li Luo even at the cost of his life. Li Luo’s support causes his Golden Dragon King seals to loosen, forcing Tang San to seize control and annihilate the attackers. 32

Conflict with Tang San

Tang San blames Li Luo for Tang Wulin’s attachment and nearly kills Li Luo. Tang Wulin pleads for Li Luo’s life, accepts the danger of continued contact, and ultimately refuses Tang San’s proposed Sterilization Cultivation Method. 34 39 40
