Background / History
Tang San is closely associated with Xiao Wu from their time at Notting Academy, where they address one another as siblings. When Li Jiutian kidnaps Xiao Wu to force Tang San to appear, Tang San arrives alone with poison needles concealed in his hand. He uses the Purple Demon Eye and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track against Li Jiutian, but the difference in soul power leaves him badly injured; Tang Hao and Grandmaster intervene before Li Jiutian can finish him. 4
During the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer is publicly revealed as his second martial soul. Shrek's fusion support briefly raises his power beyond Level 70, enabling a Martial Soul Avatar that defeats Feng Xiaotian's team. 22
Personality
Tang San is a highly adaptive combatant who prioritizes planning, misdirection, and exploiting openings. He identifies Xue Qinghe's connection to Spirit Hall from the concentration of soul masters and Titled Douluo around the imperial palace, later designs multi-front campaigns against the Spirit Hall Empire, and uses false intelligence to draw enemies into ambushes. 86 202 204
He is intensely determined to survive and defeat Li Jiutian, repeatedly using costly techniques when outmatched. This resolve can become volatile: after Xiao Wu appears beside Li Jiutian, Tang San curses her, declares that hundred-thousand-year soul beasts should die, and reveals that he had long known her true nature through the Purple Demon Eye. 90
Abilities & Skills
Blue Silver Emperor
Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor is used for battlefield control, restraint, ranged pressure, and support of his close-range techniques.
- Blue Silver Thorn Array — summons Blue Silver Grass vines to interrupt opponents and restrict movement. 25
- Blue Silver Cage — traps targets within a grass-based enclosure; it is used against both Demon Charm and Li Jiutian. 25 79
- Parasite — plants seeds on an opponent during combat, allowing Blue Silver Grass to erupt from their body later. Tang San uses it to create the opening for his Dragon Whisker Needles against Demon Charm. 25
- Blue Silver Overlord Spear — an offensive fifth soul skill used against Qian Renxue while she is disguised as Xue Qinghe. 87
- Blue Silver Domain — creates a five-hundred-meter blue aura that mitigates, but does not stop, the dissolution of his soul power within an Angel Domain. 87
Clear Sky Hammer
Tang San's second martial soul provides his greatest direct offensive power.
- Martial Soul Avatar / Clear Sky Avatar — enlarges the hammer to massive size; first manifested after Shrek's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill boosted his soul power past Level 70. 22
- Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer — an extended hammer-strike technique used against Li Jiutian and Qian Renxue. 79 87
- Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Explosion — shatters a soul ring to explosively enhance the Clear Sky Hammer; it breaks Qian Renxue's Angel Descent but rapidly drains Tang San's soul power. 190
- Limitations — his sixth soul ring is reduced from a hundred-thousand-year ring to an ordinary ten-thousand-year ring after Xiao Wu's soul ring is lost, weakening him against Qian Renxue. 88
Purple Demon Eye and Movement Techniques
Tang San uses the Purple Demon Eye for perception and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track for evasive movement.
- Sees through Demon Charm's red mist, allowing him to track Hu Liena and Xie Yue when most spectators cannot perceive the battle. 25
- Recognizes Xiao Wu as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast after reaching the Mustard Seed realm of the Purple Demon Eye. 90
- Uses Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade Li Jiutian during their first confrontation. 4
Soul Bones
- Eight Spider Soul Bone — reduces the suppressive effect of Demon Charm's mist and is used alongside the Clear Sky Hammer in close combat. It is later cut apart by Li Jiutian's Flame Aurora Sword. 25 29
- Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone — grants flight, allowing Tang San to attempt an aerial escape with Xiao Wu from Spirit Hall's pursuit. 78
Tang Sect Hidden Weapons
Tang San repeatedly relies on concealed weapons and specialized firing techniques.
- Poison Needles — hidden in his hand during his first encounter with Li Jiutian. 4
- Dragon Whisker Needles — used after Parasite restrains Demon Charm, severely injuring Hu Liena and Xie Yue. 25 26
- Bat Wing Reincarnation — redirects Eight Spider Soul Bone fragments toward an opponent after deflection; Li Jiutian counters it with Air Cut. 29
- Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles — used in an attempted assassination of Zhao Meng, but fail to kill him. 183
- Peacock Plume — deployed against Qian Renxue during their god-level battle. 210
- Buddha Fury Tang Lotus — used in an ambush against Qian Renxue after Tang San creates a seawater decoy. 213
Sea God's Power
After inheriting the Sea God position, Tang San gains divine power, the Sea God's Trident, divine armor, and control over the sea.
- Sea God's Trident — retrieved after completing the seventh Sea God trial; later used to kill Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo. 180 204
- Sea God's Domain — creates a massive tidal wave against the Heavenly Cloud Sect's forces, killing more than 700,000 people. 209 210
- Unfixed Storm and Guanyin's Tear — used to badly injure Angel God Qian Renxue while escaping their battle. 191 192
- Sea Shield — forms layers of seawater shields to defend against divine attacks, though Li Jiutian's Destruction Ray shatters them and breaks Tang San's Sea God Armor. 210 214
- Sea God's Dusk — his strongest move, combining the Golden Thirteen Halberds into a single attack; Li Jiutian nullifies it with Destruction Black Hole. 215
- Sea God's Devouring — expels the Asura God's divine power from his body after Asura Judgment nearly kills him. 215
Relationships
