Background

Tang San spent the first six years of his life in Holy Soul Village, the son of a reclusive blacksmith named Tang Hao. His childhood was defined by poverty and emotional neglect: his father was a slovenly drunkard who provided little care, leaving Tang San in tattered, patched clothing and surviving on meager rice porridge. The village knew him only as the blacksmith’s son, and he grew up without any knowledge of his mother or extended family. When Tang San awakened his martial soul, it was the seemingly weak Blue Silver Grass—a revelation that led Tang Hao to reject him outright, refusing to let him cultivate and even driving him away 1 2 4. This abandonment left Tang San with a deep longing for acceptance and familial love, a void that would only be filled later.

Tang San’s mother, A-Yin, was a 100,000-year Blue Silver Grass soul beast who had taken human form. She fell in love with Tang Hao and married him, but her existence drew the attention of Qian Xunji, the former Pope of Spirit Hall, who killed her to obtain her soul ring 2. Tang Hao, despite his immense power, failed to protect her—a failure that haunted him and drove him into his dissolute lifestyle. A-Yin’s consciousness survived in a single blade of Blue Silver Grass, hidden in a waterfall, where it lingered in a weakened state 1 2. Tang San knew nothing of his mother’s true nature or her fate; he only learned the truth when he met his uncle.

That uncle was Yin Chuan, a 100,000-year Blue Silver King who had transformed into a human and was a direct subordinate of the Beast God Gu Yuena 1. Yin Chuan had opposed A-Yin’s decision to take human form, warning her of the dangers of human society, but could not stop her. After her death, he resolved to seek justice for his sister and nephew. When Tang San was alone in the rain, rejected and desolate, Yin Chuan appeared and revealed their blood connection by manifesting his Blue Silver Tyrant Spear—a martial soul that resonated with Tang San’s own 1. Overwhelmed by a feeling of kinship he had never experienced, Tang San broke down and wept, calling Yin Chuan “Uncle” for the first time 1.

Yin Chuan then took Tang San to the waterfall where A-Yin’s essence remained. He explained that his sister had given her life for Tang San and that Tang Hao was a worthless protector who had let her die 1 2. Tang San, shaken by this revelation, confronted his father’s guilt and felt a surge of anger and betrayal. Yin Chuan formally competed with Tang Hao for custody of Tang San, and the boy made his choice: he knelt and declared that his uncle was now his father, rejecting Tang Hao entirely 4. Yin Chuan promised to give Tang San a new life, a new appearance, and a proper upbringing, and he began by transforming Tang San’s martial soul into the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear and remolding his physique 4. From that moment, Tang San’s world shifted from the cold neglect of Holy Soul Village to the unwavering care of his uncle.

After entering Shrek Academy, Tang San continued to develop under Yin Chuan’s guidance. His emotional spear intent led him to create the first technique of the Life-Taking Thirteen Spears, while his compatibility with Yin Chuan unlocked multiple martial soul fusion skills 33 42. He later accompanied Yin Chuan into the Land of Great Calamity, absorbed the Eight Spider Lance Soul Bone, and cultivated using the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s energy 45 47.

Tang San ultimately refused Tang Hao’s attempt to draw him into the Clear Sky Sect. Though he agreed to assist his father in transplanting A-Yin, he declared that he had no Clear Sky Hammer and no interest in inheriting the Clear Sky lineage; instead, he wished to build the Blue Silver Family alongside Yin Chuan 60 61 63.

After Yin Chuan tasked him with handling the Breaking Clan, Tang San personally issued the clan a challenge using his Blue Silver Tyrant Spear. He subsequently worked with Yang Wudi to bring the other single-attribute clans into his newly established Tang Sect, becoming its Sect Master while accepting Yin Chuan as its Supreme Elder 70 73 78.

Tang San’s ambitions are closely tied to freeing Yin Chuan from the burdens imposed upon him by the soul beasts. Upon realizing that his uncle was constrained by the Beast God and the wider Soul Beast Family Project, Tang San began sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall in imitation of Goujian, swearing to become powerful enough to protect Yin Chuan and remove those constraints himself 73.

He later assembled the Blue Tyrant Academy team for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, recruiting Yin Chuan as a special member and seeking to win the championship alongside his uncle, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and their teammates 79 80.

Appearance

Tang San was originally a thin, poorly dressed village boy with short black hair and an unremarkable appearance. Following the reawakening of his martial soul as the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, his body and appearance underwent a complete transformation 4.

• Lake-blue long hair: Tang San’s black hair turned lake-blue and grew long, matching Yin Chuan’s hair color 4.
• Blue eyes: His eyes became elegant blue, further emphasizing his inherited Blue Silver bloodline and resemblance to Yin Chuan 4.
• Handsome, noble bearing: His formerly plain appearance became handsome and refined, leading Old Jack and other villagers to struggle to recognize him 4 8.
• Resemblance to Yin Chuan: Tang San is frequently compared to a miniature version of his uncle due to their matching blue hair, eyes, and noble temperament 4 6.
• Fine martial attire: After Yin Chuan began raising him, Tang San received practical but high-quality martial clothing, replacing the patched garments of his childhood 6.
• Improved physique: His thin body filled out considerably after his martial soul reawakening, later becoming further strengthened through Whale Glue, Golden Dragon King seal absorption, Ice and Fire body tempering, and soul-bone absorption 4 13 20 45 57.

Personality

• Loyal and devoted to family, especially his uncle: Tang San’s deepest loyalty is to Yin Chuan, whom he recognizes as his true family over his biological father, Tang Hao. After inheriting his uncle’s spirit and being taken away from Tang Hao, Tang San decides to only acknowledge Yin Chuan as his family, rejecting his father and feeling a powerful sense of belonging and gratitude toward his uncle 4 3 1. This devotion consistently drives his actions—he fears losing face for his uncle at Shrek Academy and becomes heartbroken at the prospect of separation 32 16.

• Determined and resilient: Tang San possesses a fierce resolve to overcome hardship and grow stronger. He endures the painful process of condensing his first soul ring and unlocking the Golden Dragon King’s seals with perseverance, earning his uncle’s pride 5 14. When deciding his fifth soul skill, he demonstrates maturity and wisdom, showing he is no longer reckless but thoughtfully strategic 21 22. His determination is also evident in his vow to return home in glory after achieving success 8.

• Mischievous and playful: Despite his serious ambitions, Tang San has a mischievous side. He plays a prank on Yu Xiaogang by making him sit on a Steel Strawberry Tower, causing Yu Xiaogang injury and leaving him unable to pass gas properly 13. This trait appears again when he uses his spear technique to evoke lovesickness, which even his uncle compares to a devious emotional strike 35.

• Emotionally vulnerable and expressive: Tang San wears his heart on his sleeve, often breaking down in emotional tears. When he reunites with his uncle and experiences familial love for the first time, he weeps uncontrollably until he falls asleep 1. He also cries from sheer happiness when tasting delicious food, overwhelmed by a luxury he had never known 7. During his epiphany, he openly acknowledges his emotions, naming his spear strike “Lovesickness” because his heart is filled with gratitude and longing for his uncle 33.

• Grateful and deeply indebted: Tang San is acutely aware of the kindness he has received from Yin Chuan and feels a profound sense of obligation. He reflects that his uncle gave him a new life, care, and taught him the spear, and that the grace of being raised can never be repaid 16 33. He accepts gifts from his uncle with immense gratitude and treasures them, viewing storage rings as symbols of their bond 7.

• Confident and proud after transformation: After his appearance changes due to the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear awakening and his uncle buys him fine clothes, Tang San’s self-esteem skyrockets. He looks at himself in the mirror in disbelief, feeling he has “flown up to the branches to become a phoenix,” and he carries himself with newfound confidence and pride 6. He also gains confidence from being accepted into his uncle’s class and feeling a sense of belonging 10.

• Filial and protective toward his mother: Tang San shows strong filial piety when he meets his mother A-Yin. He vows to achieve success and fame before returning to see her, and his spear intent is rooted in protecting his small family from repeating his mother’s tragedy 8 34. He feels a determination to strengthen his family’s status and ensure they are never bullied again 34.

• Possesses a strong sense of responsibility: Tang San takes his duties seriously, especially those tied to his uncle’s expectations. He worries about not performing well in Shrek Academy’s test because he does not want to lose face for Yin Chuan 32. He also shows responsibility by handling his uncle’s affairs and preparing for tests with maturity 32 22.

• Emotionally driven spear intent: Tang San’s personality is so entwined with his emotions that his fighting style reflects it. His spear intent is a fusion of thirteen different emotions, and his first move, Lovesickness, strikes directly at the heartstrings, bypassing physical and spiritual defenses 35 33. This emotional core makes him unpredictable and intense, yet also vulnerable—his world revolves around his uncle and the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear 33.

• Initially insecure, then transformed by acceptance: Before meeting Yin Chuan, Tang San struggled with his father’s rejection and felt worthless. His uncle’s acceptance triggers a dramatic shift: he goes from a slovenly, impoverished boy to a confident, handsome young nobleman, and he feels an immense boost in self-esteem 1 6. This transformation underscores his longing for belonging and love.

• Strictly filial in etiquette: Tang San treats Yin Chuan with the formal reverence owed to a father and benefactor. He later hosts a formal welcome feast for his uncle, toasts him according to his feudal values, and openly expresses his intent to repay Yin Chuan’s grace by caring for him in old age 64.

• Resolute in rejecting Tang Hao’s lineage: Tang San refuses to identify with the Clear Sky Sect despite Tang Hao’s attempt to invoke bloodline, status, and family duty. He considers the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear to be the inheritance granted by Yin Chuan and wishes to found the Blue Silver Family instead 60 61 63.

• Ambitious and protective of Yin Chuan: Tang San takes Yin Chuan’s troubles as his own. After learning that his uncle’s circumstances are shaped by soul beast politics and the demands of powerful figures such as Di Tian, he resolves to grow strong enough to shield Yin Chuan and eliminate those who constrain him 73.

• Exceptionally gifted and eager for praise: Tang San learns spear techniques with remarkable speed, often reproducing their fundamental principles after a single observation. He eagerly seeks Yin Chuan’s approval and becomes visibly excited whenever his uncle praises his progress 98 99 115.

Abilities

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Tyrant Spear

Tang San’s primary martial soul is the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, evolved from his original Blue Silver Grass through Yin Chuan’s guidance. Though it shares Yin Chuan’s form and fixed early skill set, Tang San’s spear possesses the underlying Blue Silver Emperor bloodline inherited from A-Yin; Yin Chuan characterizes its path as one of royalty complementing his own path of tyranny 4 35.

The spear is a power-attack martial soul built around direct force, summoned soldiers, armor enhancement, and spear techniques. Tang San views it as the mantle entrusted to him by Yin Chuan and places its cultivation above his other powers 20. Its combination with Tang San’s Golden Dragon King bloodline grants him exceptional physical strength and makes him especially suited to heavy spear techniques 20 24.

• Blue Silver Emperor Tyrant Spear nature: Tang San’s martial soul combines the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear’s domineering power with the royal traits of A-Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor bloodline 35.
• Overlord Disarming Armor: Tang San learned this defensive spear technique from Yin Chuan. It produces a powerful rebounding force capable of repelling opponents and preventing weapons such as blades, swords, and arrows from approaching 10 15 16.

Soul Skills

Tang San’s first four Blue Silver Tyrant Spear soul skills follow the fixed skill set Yin Chuan designed for him. His first two rings were later disguised as ordinary yellow rings in order to conceal their actual quality and unusual origins 14 21.

• First Soul Skill – Blue Silver Peak Strength
  Increases Tang San’s physical attributes and strength. Its initial effect is weaker than Yin Chuan’s version, but it substantially amplifies Tang San’s already formidable Golden Dragon King-enhanced physique 5 24.

• Second Soul Skill – All Vegetation as Soldiers
  Originally summons eight Blue Silver Spearmen whose cultivation is seven levels below Tang San’s. Following an upgrade obtained while forming the tournament team, it can summon thirty-six Blue Silver Spearmen 14 24 80.

• Third Soul Skill – Donning Armor and Wielding Weapons
  Arms Tang San and his Blue Silver Spearmen with armor and enhances their attack and defense 24.

• Fourth Soul Skill – Blue Silver Tyrant Fury
  A mental roar that suppresses an enemy’s attack while dispelling negative conditions affecting Tang San. It belongs to the fixed early soul-skill set modeled after Yin Chuan’s Blue Silver Tyrant Spear 4 99.

• Golden Blood Qi Soul Ring – Golden Dragon Body
  Obtained by breaking the second seal of the Golden Dragon King. This golden ring grants a powerful body-enhancement skill that significantly improves Tang San’s physical attributes and further empowers his spear training 20.

Golden Dragon King Bloodline

Tang San carries the sealed power of the Golden Dragon King. During the absorption of his first soul ring, he entered a mysterious space and encountered a Golden Giant Dragon bound by eighteen seals 4. Unlocking the second seal granted him a Golden Dragon Claw, a golden Blood Qi Soul Ring, the Ultimate Strength attribute, and the Golden Dragon Body skill 5 20.

Tang San does not regard the Golden Dragon King bloodline as his primary path. Instead, he treats it as a powerful auxiliary and trump card that strengthens his body for the cultivation of the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear 20. Yin Chuan later used the Bloodline Disguise Technique to conceal its aura from outside observers 34.

• Golden Dragon Claw: A draconic transformation of Tang San’s right hand that grants increased strength and sharp golden claws 5.
• Ultimate Strength: Acquired after the second Golden Dragon King seal was unlocked, dramatically increasing Tang San’s raw physical power 20.
• Golden Dragon Body: A body-enhancement soul skill contained in Tang San’s golden Blood Qi Soul Ring 20.
• Fragmented Golden Dragon Spear: A broken gray-gold spear given to Tang San by Yin Chuan after it resonated with his Golden Dragon King bloodline 51.

Soul Bones and Body Refinement

Tang San’s body has been strengthened through repeated tempering, medicinal refinement, and soul-bone absorption.

• Eight Spider Lance Soul Bone: Tang San absorbed the soul bone obtained from a 3,000-year Man Faced Demon Spider, gaining the Eight Spider Lances 44 45.
• Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining: Tang San tempered his body at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, completing a process that substantially improved his physique 55 57.

Tang Sect Techniques

Tang San retains the techniques and combat experience of the Tang Sect. He uses the Mysterious Heaven Skill as his foundational cultivation method, as well as hidden weapons, the Mysterious Jade Hand, Crane Controlling Dragon Capturing, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, and the Purple Demon Eye 1 13 20 21.

• Purple Demon Eye: A spiritual and visual cultivation technique which permits Tang San to closely analyze movements and techniques. Its ten years of accumulated experience significantly contributes to his extraordinary perception and learning ability 76 115.
• Hidden Weapons: Tang San employs concealed projectiles, including Silent Sleeve Arrows, with precision. He had already prepared one for self-defense when he first encountered Yin Chuan 1 16.
• Mysterious Jade Hand: A hand technique capable of channeling Tang San’s emotional and spear intent. He used it in the awakening of his second Life-Taking Thirteen Spears technique 75.
• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step: A rapid movement technique Tang San uses for agility and handling tasks efficiently 21.

Life-Taking Thirteen Spears

Tang San created the Life-Taking Thirteen Spears after comprehending his own Spear Intent during Zhao Wuji’s Shrek Academy test. The technique is rooted in thirteen emotions and Tang San’s conviction that his spear exists to protect his family 33 34. While he has presently created only the first two spears, he continues deepening his comprehension under Yin Chuan’s instruction 35 42 75.

• Life-Taking Thirteen Spears (General) – A self-created spear art driven by thirteen emotional intents. Its attacks bypass ordinary physical and spiritual defenses, requiring exceptional willpower and emotional resilience to resist 32 33 35.
• First Spear – Lovesickness (Acacia) – Strikes directly at an opponent’s heartstrings and forces them to experience overwhelming longing and emotion. The move moved Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, to tears and drove him to seek alcohol afterward 34 35.
• Second Spear – Heartbreak – A tear-infused spear strike born from Tang San’s fear of failing Yin Chuan and losing the chance to repay him. It pierced through Titan’s body and inflicted overwhelming emotional pain 75 76.
• Spear Intent – Tang San’s Spear Intent emphasizes emotion and protection. It differs from Yin Chuan’s tyrannical intent but complements it, forming the basis for their martial soul fusion skills 35 42.

Blue Silver Thirteen Spears

In addition to creating the Life-Taking Thirteen Spears, Tang San studies Yin Chuan’s Blue Silver Thirteen Spears. His Golden Dragon King-enhanced strength and Purple Demon Eye allow him to grasp their principles with exceptional speed 98 115.

• Overlord Disarming Armor – A defensive technique that creates a strong rebounding force to repel incoming weapons and attacks 10 16.
• Overlord Rules the World – The eighth technique of the Blue Silver Thirteen Spears. Tang San rapidly grasped its essential movements after Yin Chuan demonstrated it, using a forceful downward strike with the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear 98.
• Phoenix Among a Hundred Birds – The seventh technique of the Blue Silver Thirteen Spears. Tang San achieved a preliminary grasp of its principles after observing Yin Chuan perform it once 115.
• Future Skill Replication – Tang San has learned Yin Chuan’s first four soul skills and intends to obtain the large-scale offensive soul skill Blue Silver Army-Breaking Slash once he reaches six rings 99.

Martial Soul Fusion Skills

Tang San and Yin Chuan possess extraordinary compatibility due to their close bond, complementary Blue Silver Tyrant Spears, and mutually resonant Spear Intents 35. Their initial fusion rate was 78%, increasing to 91% after they practiced Spear Intent Collision 35 41.

• Tyrant Emperor Dual Spears – A fusion skill in which Tang San fires his Blue Silver Tyrant Spear with penetration increased by 100%, while Yin Chuan throws his own spear with attack power increased by 100%. The combined attack forms a six-hit combo and is generally led by Yin Chuan due to their cultivation gap 35.
• Double Spear General – An advanced fusion form led by Yin Chuan. Tang San merges into a Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, allowing Yin Chuan to wield dual spears. The skill increases all attributes and power by 200% while altering the pair’s soul skills 42 55.

Relationships

Yin Chuan

The bond between Tang San and Yin Chuan is the central emotional anchor of Tang San’s life, surpassing all other relationships in depth and significance. Initially a wary stranger, Yin Chuan quickly becomes the father, uncle, and master Tang San never had, filling a void left by Tang Hao’s neglect 1. Tang San’s loyalty is absolute: he declares that Yin Chuan is his only family, rejecting Tang Hao outright, and he feels a “secret sense of joy” when Yin Chuan pretends to be his father to deter admirers 4 7. Yin Chuan’s actions—feeding him Whale Glue, buying him fine clothes, gifting him storage rings, and teaching him the spear—consistently demonstrate overbearing care, and Tang San responds with unwavering obedience and reverence 6 13 15. Their relationship is marked by emotional vulnerability on Tang San’s part: he breaks down crying at the taste of a good meal, weeps when Yin Chuan leaves Nuoding Academy, and eagerly reports his breakthrough at Shrek Academy like a proud student seeking praise 7 16 34. Even when Tang San has his own path, he prioritizes Yin Chuan’s needs above all others, including his own father 23. Yin Chuan, in turn, acts as a protector and mentor, using the Bloodline Disguise Technique to hide Tang San’s aura and confronting anyone who disrespects his nephew 34 39. The duo form a close, respectful partnership, with Yin Chuan’s authority unquestioned and Tang San’s devotion absolute.

Their relationship continues to deepen through their shared martial soul and Spear Intent. Tang San sees fighting side-by-side with Yin Chuan as a great fortune and willingly serves as the “sharpest spear” in his uncle’s hand during their conflict with the Golden Iron Triangle 50. He later transforms himself into Yin Chuan’s second spear through Double Spear General to aid in the ambush of Dugu Bo 55. Tang San also pledges to follow Yin Chuan in founding the Blue Silver Family and to serve as its vanguard 63.

Tang San later becomes Yin Chuan’s most reliable subordinate in the formation of the Tang Sect, taking responsibility for recruiting the four single-attribute clans and accepting Yin Chuan as the sect’s Supreme Elder 73 78. After recognizing the pressures that Di Tian and the soul beast faction place on Yin Chuan, Tang San resolves to cultivate with even greater desperation so that he may someday free and protect his uncle 73. He also eagerly organizes a tournament team with Yin Chuan as a special member, viewing the prospect of competing alongside him as another treasured uncle-nephew activity 79 80.

Tang Hao

Tang Hao’s relationship with Tang San is defined by failure, guilt, and awkward distance. After years of neglect—raising Tang San as a “slovenly, impoverished blacksmith’s son” and forbidding him to cultivate—Tang Hao is rejected by his son in favor of Yin Chuan 4 6. Tang San bluntly tells him, “Uncle! You are my uncle, and also my father!”, and later addresses him as “Dad” only with difficulty and awkwardness 22. Tang Hao, burdened by remorse, accepts his reduced status; he is depicted as “bitterly swallowing down handfuls of unshed tears” when Tang San prioritizes Yin Chuan’s pet over him, and he meekly steps aside to let Tang San and A-Yin speak 22 23. Yin Chuan openly despises Tang Hao, blaming him for A-Yin’s death, and Tang Hao passively accepts the beating as penance 2. Despite Tang Hao’s attempts to improve his appearance and temperament, he remains an outsider in Tang San’s heart—a biological father who cannot compete with the emotional bond forged by Yin Chuan 10 22. The relationship is one of strained civility, with Tang Hao’s guilt and Tang San’s indifference forming a barrier that never truly breaks.

Tang Hao later attempts to persuade Tang San to recognize his ancestry and join the Clear Sky Sect. Tang San refuses to acknowledge the sect, reasoning that he lacks the Clear Sky Hammer and that his true inheritance is the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear given by Yin Chuan 60 61. He remains willing to help Tang Hao transplant A-Yin, but this filial act does not restore their father-son bond 61.

Tang Hao continues attempting to reclaim a place in Tang San’s life by following him and intervening in his affairs. When Tang San defeats Titan with Heartbreak, Tang Hao asks him to spare Titan; Tang San subsequently berates Tang Hao for continuing to neglect A-Yin’s safety, forcing him to hurry back to protect her 76 77. Tang San’s concern for A-Yin remains stronger than any gratitude he feels toward his father.

A-Yin

Tang San’s relationship with his mother, A-Yin, is one of intense, heart-wrenching reunion and emotional catharsis. After learning that A-Yin is a 100,000-year Blue Silver Grass who reincarnated as a human and was killed by Qian Xunji, Tang San feels a powerful blood connection that overrides his initial disbelief 2. When he finally meets her in the Blue Silver Forest, he “wails uncontrollably,” crawling on his knees to embrace her branches, and falls asleep in her motherly embrace 7. A-Yin, though weak (a thousand-year cultivation at first), communicates mentally, expressing concern for Tang San’s well-being and trusting Yin Chuan to care for him 7. Tang San’s devotion is evident; he rushes to her side whenever possible, and her revival becomes a central hope for him 22. The bond is pure and unconditional, standing in stark contrast to the broken relationship with Tang Hao. A-Yin’s role is largely passive—she is a recipient of care rather than an active presence—but her significance lies in being the emotional wellspring of Tang San’s drive to protect his family 34.

A-Yin’s safety remains Tang San’s foremost concern in his dealings with Tang Hao. He is enraged whenever Tang Hao’s actions or negligence endanger her, and he demands that his father return to guard her rather than intrude upon Tang San’s affairs 77.

Xiao Wu

Xiao Wu is Tang San’s closest friend and, implicitly, his romantic partner, but their relationship is often overshadowed by Tang San’s intense devotion to Yin Chuan. She feels jealous and left out when Tang San prioritizes his uncle’s teachings over her company; she tries to mooch a meal and fails, and later serves food while eating scraps in the kitchen, her status reduced to that of a servant in the family hierarchy 15 23. Despite this, she shows genuine care—cooking for Tang San and helping him prepare for Shrek Academy’s test 22 32. She also displays a mischievous side, teasing Ning Rongrong by claiming Yin Chuan is Tang San’s father, which Tang San tolerates with mild annoyance 29. Her bond with Tang San is playful and supportive, but it lacks the emotional intensity and authority of his relationship with Yin Chuan. She is part of Tang San’s life, but not the center; as the text puts it, “Xiao Wu had given Tang San family affection, friendship, and love; she was Tang San’s entire world. But now, Yin Chuan gave him even more!” 23.

Xiao Wu remains part of Tang San and Yin Chuan’s wider household and later accompanies them during their activities around Blue Tyrant Academy and the planned challenge against the Breaking Clan 65. She also joins Tang San’s proposed Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament team and accepts his decisions concerning the team without hesitation 79 80.

Yang Wudi and the Four Single-Attribute Clans

Tang San develops a mutually respectful relationship with Yang Wudi, patriarch of the Breaking Clan. Yang Wudi is deeply impressed by Tang San’s Blue Silver Tyrant Spear and becomes instrumental in helping him recruit the other single-attribute clans 70 73. Tang San later subdues the Strength Clan, Defense Clan, and Speed Clan alongside the Breaking Clan, incorporating all four groups into the Tang Sect 78.

Although Titan initially treats Tang San with contempt and attacks him, his attitude reverses after Tang Hao reveals Tang San’s identity as his son. Tang San nevertheless establishes his authority through the overwhelming power of Heartbreak and assumes leadership of the combined clans as Tang Sect Sect Master 75 76 78.

Di Tian

Tang San knows Di Tian as the Beast God and understands that he holds considerable authority over Yin Chuan’s actions. Although Di Tian joins the Tang Sect in the disguised identity of Black Dragon and serves as its Grand Elder, Tang San distrusts the pressure he places upon his uncle 73 78. Tang San privately resolves to eliminate anyone who makes Yin Chuan’s life difficult once he has attained sufficient strength 73.

Di Tian later becomes suspicious of Tang San’s abnormal strength after witnessing his rapid mastery of Phoenix Among a Hundred Birds. He senses that Tang San’s power produces an instinctive dread beyond what ordinary Ultimate Strength should possess 115.
