Background / History

Tang San is the son of Tang Hao and Ah Yin. Tang Hao reveals that Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor, that Martial Soul Hall killed her, and that Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass carries the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor. Its future awakening is described as a Great Opportunity. After learning this, Tang San resolves to grow stronger and avenge his mother. 31

He studies at Shrek Academy alongside Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. His relationship with Bai Yu is defined by both dependence and hostility: Tang San seeks Bai Yu’s knowledge and Spirit Ring resources while fearing his strength and plotting to surpass him. 26 34 143 189

Tang San later returns to the Clear Sky Sect, where some members mock and obstruct him despite his connection to Sect Master Tang Xiao. He seeks the sect’s aid for Star Luo’s war against Heaven Dou and proposes using the conflict to test Spirit Hall’s response. 247 248

After Spirit Hall attacks the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao remains behind with Tang Xiao to hold off the enemy. Tang San learns that Tang Hao likely died after using the Explode Ring technique against Spirit Hall’s Holy Son, intensifying Tang San’s desire for revenge. 267

He subsequently cultivates the Sunflower Manual, reincarnates to his sixteen-year-old body, and discovers that Bai Yu’s actions have changed the timeline. Holding Bai Yu responsible for Xiao Wu’s loss, Tang Hao’s death, and his own self-castration, Tang San sets out for the City of Slaughter and the Asura God’s inheritance. 268 269

Personality

Tang San is determined, ambitious, and intensely focused on gaining power. He continues pursuing cultivation methods even when their conditions are severe or controversial, driven by his belief that greater strength is necessary to defeat Bai Yu and pursue revenge. 71 191 267 268

He can remain composed under pressure, such as when explaining the limits of his cultivation method to Yu Xiaogang. However, he is also prone to anger, resentment, envy, and vindictive thoughts toward people he believes have slighted or obstructed him. 53 143 248

His pride makes defeat especially difficult for him to accept. Following Shrek’s loss to the Imperial Fighting Team, he remains half-conscious partly because of anger and embarrassment over the result. 140
