Background / History
At the beginning of the story's timeline, Yang Jian estimates that Tang San is around six years old and has not yet obtained the opportunities that will later enable his rise to godhood 3. Tang San possesses Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, though only his Blue Silver Grass is identified in the provided material 104.
By age twelve, Tang San attends Shrek Academy alongside Xiao Wu, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. He is introduced as a Level 29 control-system Battle Soul Master and initially attempts to maintain a cooperative relationship with Yang Jian, despite Yang Jian immediately targeting him 49 50.
After reaching Level 30, Tang San enters Star Dou Forest to obtain his third soul ring from a Man Faced Demon Spider. He defeats the spider, but Yang Jian steals the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone and destroys the spider's soul ring before Tang San can absorb it 58 59. Yang Jian also captures Xiao Wu, leaving Tang San injured and unable to pursue them 59.
Tang Xiao later brings Tang San to the Blue Silver Forest, revealing that Tang San's mother was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor and that the Blue Silver King can evolve his Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor 98 99. Before the sacrifice can be completed, Yang Jian intervenes, kills Tang Xiao, and destroys the Blue Silver King. Tang San returns to find both his uncle's corpse and the shattered remains of the Blue Silver King, suffering a severe emotional collapse 102 103.
Tang San remains active with Yu Xiaogang and the surviving Shrek members. During a later encounter with Yang Jian, he is visibly fearful and unable to resist him 164. He is subsequently seen continuing Shrek Academy's daily training with Ma Hongjun and Oscar 190.
