Background / History

Tang San enters Shrek Academy alongside Xiao Wu and other applicants. His father, Tang Hao, privately instructs him to build a good relationship with Qian Ren Shuang, believing Qian could become Tang San's greatest future aid against Spirit Hall. Tang San complies, using praise and earnest questions about Guilmon's rings to cultivate goodwill; he later gives Qian Ren Shuang his Dragon Beard Needle and Zhuge Repeating Crossbow for self-defense. 6 8 11

During the Star Dou Forest expedition, Tang San coordinates an attack on the Titan Giant Ape's right foot. When the ape throws Xiao Wu away, however, he abandons the ongoing battle to pursue her. Qian Ren Shuang and Guilmon are left severely injured after holding off the ape, and Zhao Wuji publicly criticizes Tang San for prioritizing one person over the rest of the team. Tang San returns with Xiao Wu, obtains the Eight Spider Lances, and apologizes for leaving his classmates behind. 13 14 16 17

Seeking to restore his standing with the group, Tang San joins Xiao Wu in the conflict with Pale Radiance Academy and reveals his third soul ring. He later insists that Qian Ren Shuang be included with the Shrek Seven Monsters, leading Yu Xiaogang to designate Qian as their team leader. After the move to Heaven Dou City, Tang San enters Blue Tyrant Academy's advanced class as a level 31 Soul Elder. 18 19 36 46

Personality

Tang San is strongly filial and treats his father's instructions as obligations. Even without understanding Tang Hao's reasons, he immediately agrees to approach Qian Ren Shuang; similarly, he maintains formal respect for Yu Xiaogang despite being disturbed by the teacher's late-night visit. 6 22

He is observant and tactical. Tang San uses flattery to gain Qian Ren Shuang and Guilmon's favor, recognizes that discussion of “study” may interest Qian Ren Shuang, and develops plans around opponents' weaknesses during battle. 8 12 13

His greatest emotional weakness is Xiao Wu. Her apparent danger causes him to abandon the Titan Giant Ape battle, and Qian Ren Shuang striking her later leaves Tang San silently resentful despite his restraint. He does acknowledge his mistake after the forest incident and attempts to regain his teammates' trust through action. 14 16 18 42
