Background

Tang Hao is Tang San's biological father and Ah Yin's former partner. Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor soul beast, sacrificed herself to save him; afterward, Tang Hao placed her true form in a harsh cave behind a waterfall. Tang San learns that Tang Hao is the Clear Sky Douluo while being guided by Tang Chuan, and later learns the circumstances surrounding Ah Yin's condition. 5 13 15

For most of Tang San's early life, Tang Hao remains absent and neglectful. Tang San recalls being poorly provided for in Holy Soul Village and gradually comes to resent Tang Hao, particularly after Tang Chuan becomes his mentor and parental figure. 3 7 35

Tang Hao secretly observes Tang Chuan's care and training of Tang San. Initially reassured by Tang Chuan's strength, intelligence, and treatment of his son, he leaves Tang Chuan a token and entrusts Tang San to him. 14

Appearance

Tang Hao is a weathered, middle-aged man whose former stature as the Clear Sky Douluo contrasts sharply with his disheveled condition. 14

• Wears a tattered, worn black robe. 14
• Has messy hair, a thick scraggly beard, clouded eyes, and a strong smell of alcohol. 14
• Later loses his right arm and left leg to Tang Chuan's Bodhi Blood technique. 40

Personality

Tang Hao is intensely attached to the Clear Sky Sect and its honor, to the point that Tang Chuan characterizes him as a “sect slave.” He is willing to invoke destructive techniques such as Ring Detonation rather than accept humiliation or retreat. 15 40

His treatment of his family is marked by secrecy, possessiveness, and violence. He withholds the truth about Ah Yin from Tang San, attempts to kill Tang Chuan after learning that Ah Yin has been found, and later attacks Tang Yuehua and endangers civilians during a rampage in Heaven Dou City. 35 41

Tang Hao uses Ring Detonation to survive and retreats. 35 36
