History

Tang Ya disappeared without notifying anyone after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. Beibei searched relentlessly for her, while the destruction of the Iron Blood Sect created speculation that she was involved. No proof of her whereabouts was found at the time. 3

Before becoming Long Wushang’s divine servant, Tang Ya had already fallen into evil soul master practices in pursuit of strength. Her stated driving goal was reviving the declining Tang Sect, but her fixation on power, revenge, and restoration led her to devour others’ soul power and take innocent lives. 8 9

In the Dragon Tomb, Tang Ya became increasingly dependent on Long Wushang while he undertook the Lust Calamity of the Original Sin Divine Trial. Her formerly impish disposition had shifted into that of a cold, aloof, mature woman following her corruption. 2 4

Long Wushang later offered her an Original Sin Contract and the authority of Greed. Tang Ya confronted memories of Beibei, Shrek, her former aspirations for the Tang Sect, and the people harmed by her actions. Believing that she had already passed the point of return, she accepted the contract and became Long Wushang’s first Original Sin Divine Servant. 9

During the Holy Spirit Cult’s assault on Shrek City, Tang Ya remained visibly torn by the sight of the Tang Sect and Beibei, but her contract-bound loyalty to Long Wushang did not waver. When Beibei asked her to return, she answered that they could not go back. 15 16 18

After the attack, she chose to remain with the Holy Spirit Cult despite continuing conflict over Beibei and her past. She then accompanied Long Wushang and Long Xiaoyao to Sunset Forest in search of the Icefire Yin Yang Well. 25 30

At the well, Tang Ya attempted to clear the toxic valley entrance with her martial soul, but the ten-thousand-year poisonous miasma overwhelmed her vines and poisoned her. Long Xiaoyao intervened, forcing her to sever the affected vines and purge the toxins. 31

She later assisted Long Wushang and Long Xiaoyao against the intelligent plants guarding the Icefire Yin Yang Well, selectively draining soul power from attacking vine-type plants. Long Wushang subsequently provided her with selected immortal-herb essences to refine; by the time he emerged from the springs, much of her previous lifelessness had faded and her vitality had noticeably returned. 34 36 37 41

Appearance

Tang Ya is described as an exceptionally beautiful young woman. Following her corruption, her bearing becomes colder, more mature, and more languid than her earlier impish image. 2 18

• Wears a dark-purple gown during the battle at Shrek, fitted at the waist. 18
• Her Sinful Blue Silver Grass manifests as dark-gold-edged grass and vines. 18 20
• Her expression is often calm or indifferent around former companions, though brief hesitation shows when confronting Beibei and Huo Yuhao. 18 21
• After refining immortal-herb essences, she regains much of the vitality she had lost through corruption. 41

Personality

Tang Ya is driven by an intense desire for power, initially rooted in her wish to restore the Tang Sect. That desire became the foundation of her compatibility with Greed, as she was willing to pursue strength through evil soul master methods and accept the consequences of her choices. 8 9

She is not portrayed as mindlessly controlled: Huo Yuhao’s spiritual detection finds her consciousness clear and her soul power stable when she rejects Shrek’s appeals. Tang Ya insists that she understands her actions and has never felt more clear-headed or liberated. 19

Despite her commitment to Long Wushang, she retains emotional attachments to Beibei, the Tang Sect, and her former students. She feels pain upon seeing the Tang Sect attacked and hesitates when confronted by those she once cared for, but ultimately chooses loyalty to Long Wushang over reconciliation. 15 16 18 25

Abilities & Skills

Sinful Blue Silver Grass

Tang Ya’s martial soul evolved from Dark Devouring Blue Silver Grass after she received Greed’s authority. It retains Blue Silver Grass’s plant-based nature while gaining powerful devouring and plundering properties. 9 36

• Produces dark-gold vines and grass capable of spreading across a wide area. 18 19
• Restrains multiple opponents at once, including Wang Dong, students, and teachers. 20
• Rapidly regenerates after being cut. 20 21
• Can drain vitality, blood, and soul power from restrained targets. 19 21
• Can selectively extract stored soul power from plant-type enemies through direct contact. 34
• Cannot safely devour toxins beyond its capacity; the ten-thousand-year poisonous miasma severely poisoned Tang Ya and withered her vines. 31

Greed’s Grasp

Greed’s Grasp is Tang Ya’s exclusive original sin ability as the Greed Divine Servant. It empowers her Sinful Blue Silver Grass to plunder an opponent’s power and convert it into her own cultivation. 9

• Can plunder soul power.
• Can plunder bloodline.
• Can plunder martial soul origin.
• Requires her transformed Blue Silver Grass as its medium. 9

Original Sin Contract

Tang Ya’s contract with Long Wushang grants her the authority of Greed and creates an exclusive soul-level bond between them. 9

• Her loyalty, body, and soul are pledged to Long Wushang under the contract. 9
• The connection transmits emotional states, allowing Long Wushang to sense her conflict during the Shrek assault. 18
• The bond provides her calm and prevents her from leaving him despite her lingering attachment to Beibei and Shrek. 16

Relationships

• Long Wushang — Her master, contract holder, and the person she follows as the Greed Divine Servant. Their relationship develops from dependence into mutual respect and reliance. 9 36
• Beibei — Her former love interest and longtime protector. He continues pleading for her return, while Tang Ya believes their former life cannot be restored. 3 18 19
• Huo Yuhao — Former student whom Tang Ya brought into the Tang Sect and Shrek. He is devastated to learn that she knowingly chose her present path. 18 19
• Long Xiaoyao — Long Wushang’s father and a traveling companion during the search for the Icefire Yin Yang Well. He saves Tang Ya after her failed attempt to devour the valley’s poisonous miasma. 30 31
• Tang Sect — Her original reason for seeking power and the source of her deepest unresolved attachment. 8 15 19
