Personality

He is protective of those he values, confronting Yun Tian after Xiao Wu is injured and later pledging to protect Xiao Wu even at the cost of his life. 4 19 Though initially frustrated by defeats, he accepts superior strength without resentment, adjusts his tactics, and continually seeks ways to improve. 3 16 21

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass

Tang San’s martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, which develops from seemingly fragile grass into a poisonous, resilient control weapon.

• Blue Silver Entanglement — His first soul skill produces vines that bind targets and deliver Mandala Snake venom through their barbs. 15
• The vines can constrict opponents, disrupt their movement, and corrode surfaces. 15
• His first ring’s poison and binding power cannot penetrate Yun Tian’s earth-based defense. 15 16
• His second and third rings come from the thousand-year Diamond Vine and three-thousand-year Life Spirit Tree, strengthening the grass’s vitality and resilience. 28
• At rank 31, the vines are tough enough for rapid battlefield control and retain poisonous properties. 28 44

Tang San uses several inherited techniques in conjunction with his martial soul and hidden weapons.

• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — High-speed, evasive footwork used to evade attacks and reposition around opponents. 2 14

• Controlling Crane, Capturing Dragon — A grappling technique used to redirect force and seize targets, including the Mandala Snake’s tail. 2 14
• Mysterious Jade Hand — Hardens his hands for close combat and for handling dangerous objects such as venom sacs. 2 14
