Background / History
Tang San studied under Yu Xiaogang at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. He was born with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, and his discipline at eight years old convinced Yu Xiaogang that he could one day stand at the pinnacle of the continent’s soul masters. After acquiring a 700-year Ghost Vine as his second soul ring, Tang San continued developing as a control-system Soul Master. 49
At Shrek Academy, Tang San reached level 30 and joined the hunt for his third soul ring. While pursuing the Titan Giant Ape after Xiao Wu was taken, he encountered a Man Faced Demon Spider; Li Hanche killed the beast and took its soul ring first. Tang San later absorbed a Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring, but failed to gain the External Soul Bone he expected. 86 87
Li Hanche’s repeated interference became a defining obstacle in Tang San’s growth. Tang San defended Yu Xiaogang when Li Hanche publicly humiliated him, but Tang San’s hidden weapons proved ineffective; Li Hanche defeated and injured him, freezing him to a wall with an ice needle. The defeat left Tang San aware of the enormous gap between them, and he doubled his training afterward. 95 96 97 105
Tang San’s Twin Martial Souls—Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer—became publicly known. Tai Tan recognized him as Tang Hao’s son after Tang San revealed both martial souls under pressure, while Tang San later reunited with Tang Hao during Li Hanche’s confrontation with the Shrek group. 118 144 165
During the qualifying matches, Tang San openly wielded the Clear Sky Hammer and used the Tang Sect’s ultimate arts alongside his Blue Silver Grass. Under Tang Hao’s instruction, he learned the opening stance and core method of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, helping Shrek rise to second place in the individual rankings and qualify for the next round. 181
Following the Star Dou Great Forest expedition, Tang San was enraged when Yu Xiaogang was ambushed, robbed, and severely beaten while traveling to Suotuo City. Although Tang San did not know Li Hanche had arranged the attack, he vowed revenge for his teacher and continued to defend Yu Xiaogang despite the consequences. 88 89
Yu Xiaogang later made Tang San the tactical core of the Shrek Seven Devils. Tang San’s battlefield control and coordination helped establish Shrek’s reputation in the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, temporarily restoring both master and disciple’s confidence. 91
Tang San’s loyalty to Yu Xiaogang eventually strained his relationship with Xiao Wu. His repeated willingness to suffer for his teacher, combined with his obsessive training after Li Hanche’s humiliations, left Xiao Wu feeling neglected and resentful of Yu Xiaogang’s influence. 135 144 170
After venting his accumulated frustration by beating Tai Long, Tang San accepted responsibility before Tai Tan. Though he collapsed almost immediately under Tai Tan’s Soul Douluo-level pressure, the forced appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer led Tai Tan to recognize him as Tang Hao’s son and swear allegiance to him as the young master of the Strength Clan. 164 165
Shrek’s losses against the elemental academies, particularly Phoenix Cry Academy, caused Tang San to question whether Blue Silver Grass was a dead end and whether he had chosen the wrong cultivation path. Tang Hao answered these doubts by teaching him that the Clear Sky Hammer’s true strength lay not in raw force, but in borrowing and accumulating force through the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. 179 181
Although Tang San continued to address Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, his trust was severely damaged. By the time Shrek reached Spirit City, he regarded Yu Xiaogang’s claimed knowledge of Twin Martial Soul cultivation as his teacher’s only remaining value. 181 188
After further setbacks, Tang Hao took Tang San away for intensive training, promising him a chance to eventually catch up to Li Hanche. Tang San later entered Slaughter City, endured its hundred battles, and emerged bearing the Divine Slaughter's Domain. When Tang Hao informed him that the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires had fallen, father and son sought refuge at the Clear Sky Sect, where Tang San was instructed to truly devote himself to the Clear Sky Hammer. 206 260 274
Personality
Tang San is diligent, disciplined, and persistent in cultivation. Defeat and disappointment do not cause him to give up; after being overwhelmed by Li Hanche and failing to obtain an External Soul Bone, he focused on closing the gap through harder training. 82 87 105
He is intensely loyal to Yu Xiaogang, repeatedly defending his teacher despite the personal danger. Tang San also shows deep devotion to Xiao Wu, immediately pursuing the Titan Giant Ape after it abducted her and accepting her decision to stand beside him against Li Hanche. 86 89 144
His determination can become obsessive and isolating. Following his repeated humiliations, he pushed himself through relentless training, neglected Xiao Wu’s attempts to reach him, and displaced some of his suppressed anger onto Tai Long. 135 164
Tang San is capable of reassessing his loyalties when faced with repeated betrayal and failure. Though he continues to seek Yu Xiaogang’s Twin Martial Soul cultivation method, he no longer regards his teacher with the same unconditional trust. 181 188
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer. His Blue Silver Grass is regarded as a useless martial soul by conventional standards, while the Clear Sky Hammer is the top-tier martial soul associated with his Innate Full Soul Power. 118 165
- Blue Silver Grass — His primary control-system martial soul and the basis of his battlefield-control role within Shrek. 49 91
- Clear Sky Hammer — A powerful second martial soul revealed publicly during his encounter with Tai Tan. 165
- Twin Martial Soul cultivation — Yu Xiaogang claims to know how to cultivate Tang San’s dual-martial-soul path, though his reliability is questioned by the narrative. 181
Ghost Vine Parasitism
Tang San’s second soul ring comes from a 700-year Ghost Vine.
- Its parasitic effect is highly compatible with the control-system path of his Blue Silver Grass. 49
- Yu Xiaogang instructs Tang San to continue practicing control of this second soul skill. 49
Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring
Tang San’s third soul ring comes from a Man Faced Demon Spider of a little over one thousand years.
- He absorbs the ring after Li Hanche intercepts his original opportunity to kill a stronger Man Faced Demon Spider. 86 87
- The absorption does not produce the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone that Tang San had hoped to obtain. 87
Tang Sect Ultimate Arts
Tang San employs Tang Sect secret arts and Self-Created Soul Skills carried over from his past as a Tang Sect disciple. 82 181
- Purple Demon Eye — Purple eye technique used in combat and observation. 181
- Mysterious Jade Hand — Produces a jade-colored glow over his hands. 181
- Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — Illusory movement and footwork technique. 181
- Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon — Inner-force technique used to redirect and manipulate force during close combat. 97
- Guanyin Tear — An ultimate Tang Sect hidden-weapon technique described as capable of piercing even a god’s body. 190 233
- Hidden weapons — Used against Li Hanche, but were ineffective against the overwhelming difference in strength. 97
Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer
Tang Hao personally teaches Tang San the opening stance and core mental method of the Clear Sky Sect’s ultimate hammer art. 181
- Centers on borrowing force: the enemy’s force, the force of heaven and earth, and force accumulated through successive hammer strikes. 181
- Allows Tang San to use an opponent’s strength against them in the Soul Fighting Arena. 181
Divine Slaughter's Domain
After fighting through Slaughter City, Tang San acquires the Divine Slaughter's Domain. 274
- The domain is initially unstable, causing the killing intent accumulated from his hundred battles to surge uncontrollably. 274
- Tang Hao forcibly suppresses the unstable killing intent and warns Tang San that he must first master himself before pursuing greater power. 274
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Clear Sky Hammer — Tang San’s second martial soul and primary hammer weapon. 165 181
- Hidden weapons — Tang San uses concealed weapons in battle, though they fail to affect Li Hanche during their first clash. 97
Relationships
- Yu Xiaogang — Teacher and former object of Tang San’s unquestioning loyalty. Tang San repeatedly defended him despite grave personal danger, but Li Hanche’s interference and Yu Xiaogang’s failures gradually damaged their master-disciple bond; Tang San ultimately values Yu Xiaogang chiefly for his claimed Twin Martial Soul cultivation method. 49 89 96 181 188
- Xiao Wu — Close companion. Tang San pursues the Titan Giant Ape to rescue her, and both are willing to face Li Hanche together. Their relationship later becomes strained by Tang San’s fixation on Yu Xiaogang and cultivation, though Xiao Wu still supports his decision to leave with Tang Hao for training. 86 135 144 206
- Tang Hao — Father and the Clear Sky Douluo. Tang Hao teaches him the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, protects him during the confrontation with Li Hanche, takes him away for further training, and later leads him to the Clear Sky Sect after his return from Slaughter City. 144 165 181 206 274
- Li Hanche — Primary adversary. Li Hanche repeatedly obstructs Tang San’s growth, exposes his secrets, defeats him, and provokes his resentment. Tang San’s desire to catch up to Li Hanche remains a major force behind his training and later decisions. 86 97 117 206
- Tai Tan (Titan) — Head of the Strength Clan and former subordinate of Tang Hao. He recognizes Tang San after seeing the Clear Sky Hammer, acknowledges him as young master, and recounts Tang Hao’s past to him. The Strength Clan is later exterminated by Li Hanche. 165 265
- Zhao Wuji — Shrek Academy protector whom Tang San supports during Tai Tan’s pressure test. 165
