Background / History

Tang Wulin awakened Blue Silver Grass with only third-rank innate Soul Power. Though disappointed, he retained his ambition of becoming a powerful Soul Master. Long Yuan, whose Golden Dragon King bloodline was sealed in Tang Wulin’s body, began communicating with and secretly cultivating him shortly afterward. 1 2

He studied at Red Mountain Academy and later trained under blacksmith Mang Tian. Tang Wulin became Mang Tian’s formal disciple, pursuing forging alongside Soul Master cultivation. 8 10 After reaching level 10, he fused with the Blood-Exploding Snake soul spirit, which he named Golden Light. 14

Following the first seal’s release, Tang Wulin accepted Long Yuan’s bloodline inheritance and formally became his disciple. 25 He endured successive seal-breaking trials, body-tempering training, and the Innate Secret Method, steadily developing his Golden Dragon King-derived power. 77 102 129 130

After choosing to leave Tiandou City, he enrolled at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy in Ming Capital to study Soul Tools despite having no prior foundation in the field. 166 179 188 During the soul-guided train attack, he fought Evil Soul Masters to protect the passengers, including opponents with five soul rings. 169 170 172 173

Tang Wulin later learned that Tang San was his biological father and that Tang San had orchestrated the Abyss Plane’s invasion as part of a plan to evolve Douluo Planet. He rejected Tang San’s offered Sea God bloodline, destroyed his own Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and had Long Yuan extract the Sea God bloodline from him. 258 260 261 Long Yuan subsequently took him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where reforging transformed him into a second-generation pure-blood true dragon. 265 267

Appearance

Tang Wulin is a youthful male whose body develops increasingly visible draconic traits as his Golden Dragon King power grows.

• His right arm can become covered in golden scales and form a dragon claw. 25 69
• Under Golden Dragon Body and later transformations, golden scales can cover much of or all of his body. 77 172 267
• His true-dragon form is a golden dragon over thirty meters long, with wings, horns, claws, and metallic-looking scales. 267
• His eyes become golden when his bloodline power is active. 85 267

Personality

Tang Wulin is determined, hardworking, and willing to endure extreme pain to become stronger. He repeatedly undertakes dangerous seal-breaking and body-reforging processes without retreating. 77 129 267

He is grateful and deeply loyal to Long Yuan, whom he trusts as his master. When Long Yuan offers to release all remaining seals, Tang Wulin agrees without hesitation, stating that Long Yuan has had countless opportunities to harm him if that had been his intention. 70 259

He is also protective of others. During the train attack, he acts alone against the men in black because of the passengers’ danger, continuing to fight despite severe injuries and overwhelming numerical disadvantage. 169 172 173 His rejection of Tang San’s bloodline stems from his belief that the lives sacrificed in the Abyss war matter. 260 261
