Background / History

Tang San participates in the Soul Fighting Arena alongside the Shrek Seven Devils, whose confidence and camaraderie are noted as they enter matches in separate districts 29.

At the arena, he recognizes Qingxi's potential and attempts to befriend her by offering a Zhuge Crossbow for high-purity Mysterious Iron ore. Qingxi refuses the exchange and purchases the ore herself 44.

Tang San later confronts Qingxi with the Shrek Seven Devils after Xiao Wu's soul-beast identity is nearly exposed. He threatens Qingxi's life because he considers Xiao Wu's safety paramount, but Guang Ling intervenes before the confrontation can escalate further 46.

During Shrek Team's match against the Imperial Fighting Team, Tang San uses the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Dragon Whisker Needles, and poison to seriously injure opponents. He surrenders when Xiao Wu is badly hurt and again when the opposing team uses Red Scale to threaten her 61.

After training in Sunset Forest, Tang San reaches level 40 and absorbs a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. He subsequently discovers a hidden treasure behind Poison Mountain's barrier and joins Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong in trying to breach it 77 78.

Tang San and Xiao Wu enter the hidden paradise within Poison Mountain, where they discover the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, immortal herbs, and the Chaos Green Lotus. Tang San identifies the herbs' uses, distributes them among the Shrek group, and persuades Yu Xiaogang to take the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma 79.

Dugu Bo returns to the herb garden and overwhelms the group with poison and spiritual pressure. Tang San remains able to act and attempts to negotiate to save his companions, but Tang Hao ultimately intervenes and gives the group an opportunity to escape 80 81.

Qingxi later erases the imprint on Tang San's storage Soul Tool and takes it, injuring him. The tool contains his wealth and blueprints for Tang Sect mechanical hidden weapons 82.

After Yu Xiaogang explains Tang Hao's history, including his expulsion from the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall's possible involvement, Tang San's desire for revenge against Spirit Hall intensifies 84.

Tang San sells hidden weapons designed by Xiao Wu to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for ten million Gold Soul Coins. His interactions with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing are hostile due to their changed loyalties and past relationship 99.

Spirit Hall later targets Shrek Academy, partly to use Tang San as leverage against Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect 119. Tang San is cornered by Gui Mei alongside his friends until Qingxi intervenes; Xiao Wu places herself before him, prepared to sacrifice herself for his survival 128. Tang San subsequently offers money and kowtows to Qingxi in an unsuccessful attempt to reclaim Lovesick Heartbreak Red for Xiao Wu 129.

Personality

Tang San is protective of his companions, particularly Xiao Wu. In combat, he prioritizes their safety over victory, surrendering under pressure when Xiao Wu is injured and threatened 61. He is similarly willing to humble himself before Qingxi in an effort to protect Xiao Wu's bond with Lovesick Heartbreak Red 129.

He is strategic and resourceful under pressure. Against Dugu Bo, he quickly focuses on negotiating for his companions' survival despite the overwhelming gap in power 80. His experiences of being unable to protect others deepen his desire to gain strength 81.
