Appearance

Tang San is described as blue-haired during the Soul Master Tournament. His eyes can emit purple light when he channels his techniques. 42 43

• Blue hair. 42 43
• Uses a heavy, pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer covered in ancient patterns. 43
• His hands become jade-white when employing the Mysterious Jade Hand. 13

Personality

Tang San is fiercely loyal to Yu Xiaogang, immediately defending the master's theories when Long Tian challenges them and treating criticism of Yu Xiaogang as slander. 1 13 Even after Long Tian's accomplishments visibly contradict those theories, Tang San insists that Yu Xiaogang simply has not studied the Rainbow Dragon. 43

He is ambitious and determined to surpass Long Tian after Shrek's defeat, pledging to devote all his time to cultivation before the Soul Master Tournament. 21 22 This resolve hardens into desperation during the tournament: he refuses to concede while immobilized and repeatedly uses hidden weapons against Long Tian's vital points in a sanctioned match. 43

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San possesses both Bluesilver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, a combination that shocks tournament spectators. 43

• Bluesilver Grass — His primary martial soul; used for battlefield restraint and control. 12 42
• Clear Sky Hammer — A powerful tool martial soul inherited from Tang Hao's Clear Sky Sect line. 18 43
• He can summon the Clear Sky Hammer without attached soul rings, though Long Tian overpowers and disarms him in their tournament match. 43

Bluesilver Grass

Tang San grows and manipulates Bluesilver Grass vines to entangle opponents and fill the battlefield with restraints. 12 13

• First Soul Skill: Entangling — Sends large quantities of Bluesilver Grass toward targets. 12 42
• Second Soul Skill: Parasite — Plants seeds on an opponent's body and attempts to grow vines from them. 43
• His Bluesilver Grass is suppressed by Long Tian's Nine-Colored Divine Light and Life Divine Domain; the latter causes its plants to submit or lose vitality. 12 42 43

Mysterious Heaven Technique

A cultivation technique Tang San has practiced since childhood. It strengthens his soul-power circulation and supports his combat techniques. 10 13

• Can be pushed to its limit to empower his attacks and attempt to break restraints. 13 14
• The Myriad Thunder Soul-Fusing Seal reduces its circulation by more than half and eventually prevents it from operating properly. 43

Tang Sect Techniques and Hidden Weapons

Tang San employs specialized movement, hand, and weapon techniques alongside concealed weapons. 14 43

• Mysterious Jade Hand — Reinforces his hands for close combat; cracks when his palm collides with Long Tian's true-dragon-strengthened body. 14 43
• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — A rapid movement technique used to evade and reposition. 43
• Silent Sleeve Arrow — Fires steel needles, though the projectiles are frozen before reaching Long Tian during the first Shrek confrontation. 14
• Uses further hidden weapons and a poisoned short blade against Long Tian; Long Tian intercepts or neutralizes them. 43
• Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer — A force-generating method used with the Clear Sky Hammer. 43

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hidden weapons — Includes projectiles aimed at Long Tian's eyes and throat during the Soul Master Tournament. 43
• Silent Sleeve Arrow — A mechanism that launches steel needles. 14
• Poisoned short blade — Used in an attempted strike at Long Tian's heart. 43

Relationships

• Yu Xiaogang — Teacher. Tang San repeatedly defends Yu Xiaogang's theories and bases his drive to defeat Long Tian on preserving his teacher's reputation. 1 13 43
• Tang Hao — Father and the Clear Sky Douluo. Tang Hao reveals his identity to protect Tang San and later attempts to kill Long Tian because he views him as a future threat to his son. 18 34
• Xiao Wu — Shrek companion who calls him “Third Brother” and openly affirms his strength. 11 22
• Long Tian — Former Shrek schoolmate and principal rival. Tang San initially dismisses him as an auxiliary Soul Master, then suffers decisive defeats against him in both academy and tournament battles. 11 21 43
• Shrek Academy members — Teammates with whom he fights against Tianshui/Skywater Academy; their attempts to overwhelm Long Tian repeatedly fail. 13 42 43

Story Role / Major Arcs

Long Tian's Expulsion

Tang San sides with Yu Xiaogang when Long Tian disputes the master's theories, denouncing Long Tian for talking back to his teacher and insisting that he has personally proven Yu Xiaogang's teachings successful. 1

First Clash with Tianshui Academy

When Long Tian returns as a Tianshui core disciple, Tang San is alarmed by his transformed aura, elevated soul power, evolved martial soul, and ten-thousand-year third soul ring. 11 12 13 He joins Shrek's attack, but Long Tian's support of Shui Bing'er freezes and incapacitates the entire team. 13 14

Afterward, Tang San resolves to cultivate until he can defeat Long Tian at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. 21 22

Tang Hao's Intervention

Tang San witnesses Tang Hao reveal himself as the Clear Sky Douluo to shield Shrek from Ling Yuan. 18 Tang Hao later identifies Long Tian as a danger to Tang San and ambushes Long Tian, Ling Yuan, and Qian Renxue in the Star Dou Great Forest. 34 35

Soul Master Tournament Defeat

Skywater Academy faces Shrek in the first round of the Soul Master Tournament. Tang San attempts to restrain Skywater with Bluesilver Grass, but Long Tian's Life Divine Domain suppresses his martial soul. 42 After Shrek's other members are eliminated, Tang San fights Long Tian alone, using hidden weapons, Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and the Clear Sky Hammer. 43

Long Tian catches the Clear Sky Hammer barehanded, seals Tang San's meridians with the Myriad Thunder Soul-Fusing Seal, and forces him to his knees. Tang San refuses to admit defeat until the referee declares him unable to continue. 43
