Background / History

Tang Wulin is a student of East Sea Academy's first-year Zero Class. When Li Moxun joins the class, Tang Wulin is among the students who meet him; he later explains the Spirit Ascension Platform's benefits and dangers to the newcomer. 2 9

His body initially contained the complete Golden Dragon King bloodline, including a massive sealed golden dragon within his spiritual sea bound by seventeen seals. The bloodline creates a powerful mutual influence with Gu Yue's Silver Dragon King bloodline. 14 16 Gu Yue secretly removes portions of this bloodline while avoiding the earliest seals so Tang Wulin will not immediately notice. 16 Tang San's divine consciousness, appearing as Old Tang, initially remains within Tang Wulin and responds to Gu Yue's interference, but Gu Yue destroys this consciousness during her first extraction. Residual power connected to Tang San later reacts again as the deepest seal is broken. 16 128

After Li Moxun returns to Zero Class at the Third Ring, Tang Wulin clashes with him repeatedly. Tang's Golden Dragon Claw and physical strength prove formidable, but Li Moxun overwhelms him in their sparring match and leaves him with multiple hairline fractures. 31 32 34

Tang later becomes entangled in Gu Yue's plan against Leng Yaozhu. He is captured by the fierce beasts, has another portion of his Golden Dragon King bloodline taken, and is subsequently taken away by Xiong Jun. 64 67 He later reappears alongside his former classmates during their attempt to enter Shrek Academy. 79

At Shrek Academy, Tang becomes the vice class monitor but faces skepticism from fellow students, who do not accept his position or strength as readily as they accept Li Moxun's. 116 He remains drawn to Gu Yue and becomes increasingly hostile toward Li Moxun, particularly when other students spread rumors concerning the pair. 116 119

During the Soul Beast Tower challenge, Tang fights at the front with Yuanen Yehui but becomes exhausted and leaves the tower early after Li Moxun secretly amplifies his jealousy. Outside the tower, Li Moxun's clone knocks him unconscious and carries him into the Small Mystic Realm Ring, leaving him in a deep coma with cracked bones. 125 127 Gu Yue subsequently begins extracting the deepest remaining Golden Dragon King seal from him, accelerating the regression of his bloodline. 128 147

After returning to class, Tang struggles to maintain order despite his leadership position. Although he has helped fellow students with forging knowledge, they fear Li Moxun rather than respecting Tang's authority. 147 148 Before a later Soul Beast Tower expedition, Tang sets aside his pride and apologizes to Li Moxun so that he may join the group and seek a Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon soul spirit for his Blue Silver Grass. 178

Personality

Tang Wulin is caring toward his classmates. He comforts Li Moxun after the conflict with Wang Jinxi and carefully warns him about the pain and mental risks of the Spirit Ascension Platform. 6 9

He is resilient in combat, repeatedly rising after being injured by Li Moxun. 31 He is also polite and practical: during the forging competition preparations, he agrees to let Mu Xi take the championship in exchange for both first- and second-place rewards, largely because he needs money for forging materials. 37

Tang is humble and reserved when introducing himself as an eleven-year-old Level 4 Blacksmith during the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition. 52 However, he also possesses pride and a growing sense of resentment toward Li Moxun; this jealousy causes him to abandon the Soul Beast Tower challenge prematurely despite later regretting the decision. 125

He is protective of Gu Yue's reputation, openly confronting classmates who spread rumors about her relationship with Li Moxun. 116

Tang values helping others through blacksmithing and attempts to build support among his classmates by sharing forging insights, but their greater fear of Li Moxun leaves him frustrated and unwilling to show his resentment openly. 148 Despite his pride, he can be pragmatic when his future is at stake, sincerely apologizing to Li Moxun to gain access to the later Soul Beast Tower expedition. 178
