Background / History

Tang San grows up in Holy Soul Village as the son of the blacksmith Tang Hao. From childhood, he handles much of their household work—including cooking—and learns blacksmithing by repairing villagers’ farm tools. Before his martial-soul awakening, he knows almost nothing of Soul Masters because Tang Hao keeps that world from him. He instead spends his days cultivating techniques from his previous life and forging iron. 74 77

At six, Tang San clashes with Qian Ye after attempting a sneak attack. His Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track cannot move Qian Ye. Forced into submission by Qian Ye’s laughter-inducing needle technique, Tang San outwardly yields while privately resolving to surpass him. 75

Tang San awakens Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass in his right hand and the Clear Sky Hammer in his concealed left hand. Su Yuntao identifies his Innate Full Soul Power but dismisses Blue Silver Grass as useless; Tang San hides the hammer rather than expose his full potential. 83

He enrolls at Nuoding Academy, becomes close to Xiao Wu, studies under Yu Xiaogang, and supports himself through work-study duties, blacksmith-shop jobs, and a Spirit Hall allowance. 98 His rivalry with Qian Ye intensifies when Qian Ye publicly presses Yu Xiaogang about the inconsistency between Blue Silver Grass and Tang San’s Innate Full Soul Power, then reveals that he knows Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls. 110

Enraged by Qian Ye’s provocations and his attention toward Xiao Wu, Tang San uses Blue Silver Grass to bind Qian Ye and inject him with paralyzing toxin. Qian Ye recovers within a minute, and Tang San openly declares him an enemy. 111

By the time he joins Shrek Academy, Tang San has reached Level 29. He later enters the hidden valley in Sunset Forest with Qian Ye’s group, using his knowledge of immortal-grade herbs in an effort to help his unconscious wife, Qian Renxue. 179 187

Appearance

Tang San is initially described as an ordinary-looking child who could easily disappear into a crowd. After his Blue Silver Grass evolves into the Blue Silver Emperor, he becomes handsome. 133

• Initially inconspicuous in appearance. 133
• Gains a more prominent and handsome appearance following his Blue Silver Emperor evolution. 133

Personality

Tang San is disciplined, industrious, and self-reliant. As a child, he cooks for Tang Hao, assists with forging, climbs mountains to cultivate, and pursues Soul Master knowledge with intense curiosity. 77 79

He is also proud and slow to forgive humiliation. Although he submits to Qian Ye when powerless to resist, he harbors resentment and plans to settle the score once he becomes stronger. 75 His hostility becomes explicit after Qian Ye exposes his secrets and disrupts his relationship with Xiao Wu. 107 111

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San possesses Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, inheriting one Martial Soul from each parent. He keeps the Clear Sky Hammer concealed after awakening. 83
