Background / History

Tang San arrived in Suotuo City with Xiao Wu and intended to attend Shrek Academy on Yu Xiaogang's recommendation. When Dai Mubai threatened Zhu Zhuqing and insulted Xiao Wu, Tang San tried to remove Xiao Wu from the dispute rather than risk conflict with a possible future schoolmate. His hesitation disappointed Xiao Wu. 20

Qin Jiuxiao exposed Tang Hao's identity as Tang San's father, making Xiao Wu fear that Tang Hao had recognized her as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Tang San admitted Tang Hao was his father, then watched Xiao Wu choose to remain with Qin Jiuxiao's group instead. 22 23

Qin Jiuxiao subsequently used a fabricated story to prompt Tang San into saying that he would seek a human-form hundred-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring and soul bone. Xiao Wu broke off their relationship after hearing his answer. 24

Tang San attacked Qin Jiuxiao with poison-tipped steel needles and Tang Sect techniques, but Qin countered the needles, overwhelmed him in close combat, and forced him to flee with a Mist Bomb. 25 He later suffered repeated misfortunes after declaring that Qin had “embarked on the Path to Death,” including defeat and humiliation at Bu Le's hands. 29 30

After Tang Hao confirmed that he was a Title Douluo, Tang San asked his father to retaliate against Qin Jiuxiao. Tang Hao confronted Qin but was ultimately forced to flee after detonating several spirit rings. 31 35

Tang San entered Shrek Academy through Flender's paid shortcut to the final assessment. He was unable to join Qin Jiuxiao's team against Zhao Wuji, then became Zhao's sole target after the others passed; Oscar later treated his injuries. 47 49 51 52

Seeking materials for the Dragon Whisker Needle, Tang San traded altered Tang Sect manuals to Qin Jiuxiao for a crystal. The crystal had been hollowed out and filled with foul water; when Tang San smashed it, he and several nearby Shrek students were drenched. 65 68

Personality

Tang San is proud of his reincarnated status, Tang Sect inheritance, and perceived destiny. Defeats by Qin Jiuxiao repeatedly provoke jealousy, resentment, and vows of future revenge. 29 31 53 68

He is cautious in combat and willing to use concealed weapons, poison, ambushes, and deliberately flawed manuals to obtain an advantage. However, his reliance on preparation becomes a weakness when his weapons are depleted or his opponent cannot be bound by Blue Silver Grass. 25 30 65

His attachment to Xiao Wu is intense, but his efforts to keep her close conflict with his pursuit of power. His answer regarding a human-form soul beast's soul ring and bone ends their former bond. 23 24

• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — A rapid movement technique used to evade attacks and escape. It is disrupted by Zhao Wuji's Gravity Squeeze. 25 51
• Mysterious Jade Hand — Hardens his hands for combat and for wielding hidden weapons; Qin Jiuxiao's punch leaves cracks in it, while Zhao Wuji overpowers it with Vajra Palm. 25 51
• Four Ounces Deflects a Thousand Pounds — A redirection technique that fails against Qin Jiuxiao's overwhelming physical power. 25
• Purple Demon Eye — A pupil technique that can detect Bu Le in black mist, but cannot track Qin Jiuxiao's spatial Teleportation. 25 30

Hidden Weapons

Tang San uses steel needles and other concealed weapons, aiming them at vital points and acupuncture points. 25

• His steel needles are neutralized by Qin Jiuxiao's lightning net. 25

Relationships

• Tang Hao — Father and a Title Douluo. Tang San is initially doubtful of his father's status, then asks him to avenge his defeat and recover Xiao Wu. 22 31
• Xiao Wu — Former close companion whom Tang San regarded as a sister. Their relationship collapses after she fears Tang Hao and rejects Tang San's desire for a human-form soul beast's ring and bone. 20 23 24
• Qin Jiuxiao — Rival responsible for exposing Tang Hao's identity, separating Xiao Wu from Tang San, defeating Tang San, and humiliating him through the tampered crystal. 22 25 65 68
• Yu Xiaogang — Teacher. Tang San remains loyal to him and defends him against Qin Jiuxiao, while Yu Xiaogang regards Tang San as the disciple who could prove his theories. 47 69 70
• Flender — Shrek Academy dean who charges Tang San 20 Gold Soul Coins to skip to the final entrance assessment. 46 47
• Oscar — Shrek schoolmate whose recovery sausage heals Tang San after Zhao Wuji's assessment. Tang San considers recruiting him as a lackey. 52
• Dai Mubai — Shrek schoolmate. Their initial connection influences Tang San's reluctance to confront Dai over Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu. 20
• Zhao Wuji — Shrek assessor who singles Tang San out after being injured by Qin Jiuxiao's team. 51

Story Role / Major Arcs

Suotuo City and Xiao Wu's Departure

Tang San's attempt to preserve a future connection with Dai Mubai clashes with Xiao Wu's sense of justice. Qin Jiuxiao exploits Tang Hao's identity and Tang San's own ambitions to drive Xiao Wu away. 20 22 24

Conflict with Qin Jiuxiao

Tang San challenges Qin Jiuxiao using hidden weapons and Tang Sect techniques, but is decisively outmatched. His continuing declarations that Qin has entered the “Path to Death” coincide with a string of severe misfortunes. 25 29 30

Tang Hao's Intervention

After learning that Tang Hao is a Title Douluo, Tang San asks him to punish Qin Jiuxiao. Tang Hao's failed attack confirms the scale of Qin Jiuxiao's power and leaves Tang San without the revenge he sought. 31 35

Shrek Academy

Tang San joins Shrek Academy, struggles in the entrance assessment, and grows increasingly resentful of Qin Jiuxiao's strength, companions, and living conditions. 47 51 53

The Crystal Trade

Tang San offers falsified Tang Sect manuals in exchange for the crystal he believes can supply Dragon Whisker Needle materials. The crystal instead sprays foul water over him, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar. 65 68
