Background / History

Tang San arrives at Nuoding Academy as a working student from Holy Soul Village and becomes Yu Xiaogang's disciple. He first meets Su Ge outside the academic affairs office, where the two exchange a brief, polite introduction before Su Ge deliberately avoids further contact with Yu Xiaogang. 4

After joining Dorm Seven, Tang San is exempted from its challenge rules by Su Ge. He later joins Xiao Wu in challenging Su Ge for the position of dorm boss, but Su Ge overwhelms both of them through raw physical strength. 5 7 Tang San subsequently accepts Xiao Wu as “Sister Xiao Wu” rather than continuing their own dispute. 8

Under Yu Xiaogang's instruction, Tang San studies powerful soul beasts and shares that knowledge with Su Ge during a trip to the library. His account of the Lion-Tiger Beast directly influences Su Ge's choice of first soul-ring target. 10 11 Tang San later leaves the academy with Yu Xiaogang to hunt his own first ring. 10 11

Following Su Ge's return from the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San presses him for details about his rank, ring age, and soul skill. Su Ge rebukes him for violating a spirit master's privacy; Tang San apologizes and accepts the lesson. 20

On the eve of graduation, Tang San invites Su Ge to attend Shrek Academy at Yu Xiaogang's recommendation. He travels with Su Ge and Xiao Wu to Suotuo City, eventually accepting Su Ge's support and addressing him as “Brother Su.” 22 23

At Shrek Academy, Tang San reveals that he is a level 33 control-type battle soul master. He witnesses Su Ge's unprecedented purple-purple-black-black ring configuration and realizes the extent to which Su Ge has surpassed his understanding of spirit-ring limits. 28 29 During the Star Dou Great Forest expedition, he pursues the Titan Giant Ape after it takes Xiao Wu, following Su Ge despite the danger. 45

Personality

He is curious and diligent in his pursuit of spirit-master knowledge. He eagerly listens to Yu Xiaogang's lessons about soul beasts, agrees to share the information with his classmates, and views practical battles as valuable training. 10 39

Tang San can become overly eager when power-related matters concern Su Ge, as shown when he improperly asks about Su Ge's ring and skill information. However, he recognizes his mistake when challenged and apologizes directly. 20 He is also protective of Xiao Wu, intervening when Su Ge restrains her and later pursuing the Titan Giant Ape after it carries her away. 7 45
