Background / History

Tang San is born in Nuoding City after Tang Hao—whose body had been transformed into that of a woman—gives birth to him. His biological father is Tang Shan, an infamous pirate who sexually assaulted Tang Hao; Tang Xiao prevented Tang Hao from aborting the pregnancy. Tang San is therefore treated as the Tang family’s sole male successor despite Tang Hao’s hatred for the blood of Tang Shan. His birth occurs while the Tang family is under attack from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose forces seek to seize Tang Yuehua and the infant Tang San. 96 97 160 161

Although an infant, Tang San retains memories of a previous life. A system appraisal identifies him as the reincarnated Sea God King, able to understand events clearly from birth. He struggles with his rebirth, his unfamiliar family circumstances, and the altered states of people he once knew. During Bibi Dong’s attempt to capture him, he develops intense hatred for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and resolves to destroy both it and Spirit Hall. 97 98

Bibi Dong later threatens Tang San’s life to force Tang Hao to kneel and admit defeat as part of her Rakshasa God Trial. Tang Hao initially refuses, deeply hurting Tang San, but ultimately kneels to save him. Tang San later learns that Tang Hao had originally wished for his death and confirms that she resents him as the child of Tang Shan. 99 100 160 161

At six years old, Tang San undergoes his martial soul awakening. He manifests the Clear Sky Hammer and Innate Full Soul Power, but is barred from Huimin Soul Master Academy because his family’s criminal record fails its background requirements. He subsequently enrolls at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy. 118 119 121

Tang San supports himself through blacksmithing while attending Nuoding Academy, using much of his meager income to provide food and gifts for Xiao Wu. His poverty and devotion to Xiao Wu make him a target of Tang Xiaomei’s humiliation, including making him bark like a dog in exchange for money. 151 152

After entering Shrek Academy, Tang San becomes increasingly consumed by humiliation, resentment, and a desire to regain the power and status he held in his previous life. He eventually turns to Fallen Soul Master methods, sacrificing civilians and planning to use an undead army and the Blood River God-Slaying Array to take revenge upon the Heaven Dou Empire and ascend to godhood. 163 203 245 246

Transformation Magic

Qian Xunji later uses Transformation Magic on Tang San, physically feminizing him while leaving him male. The transformation greatly intensifies Tang San’s anger and his resolve to find the person responsible. 274

Personality

Tang San is emotionally attached to the people and future he remembers from his previous life. His encounters with Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong leave him heartbroken, confused, and longing for the past. 121 122

He is also ambitious and dissatisfied with an ordinary path to strength. Despite awakening an exceptionally powerful martial soul, he is disappointed by the absence of a second martial soul and divine power. 119

After Tang Xiao leaves for Sea God Island, Tang San becomes emotionally unstable, yet forms a concrete goal of acquiring the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the Heaven Dou Imperial treasury. 123

Tang San is intensely prideful and reacts badly to humiliation, often viewing those who oppose or ridicule him as having a “Way of Seeking Death.” His experiences of poverty, public humiliation, imprisonment, and rejection steadily turn his desire for justice into a desire for revenge. 123 163 203

Despite his declared devotion to Xiao Wu, Tang San is pragmatic and possessive in matters concerning her. He regards her both as his beloved from a previous life and as a potential source of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and soul bone that could aid his pursuit of Limit Douluo or godhood. 174 181

Tang San is resourceful and persistent, willing to endure humiliation, perform degrading work, bargain away Tang Sect secrets, and eventually employ Fallen Soul Master methods to obtain power. 151 181 197 245
