Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Third soul ring	48 49	Absorbs a roughly two-thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider soul ring after Xiao Wu and Qian Ni help secure the opportunity. The ring manifests the externally attached Eight Spider Lances. 51
Third soul skill — Spider Web Restraint	123	Deploys a corrosive, venomous web formed from Blue Silver Grass. Although extraordinarily strong for a third-ring skill, it cannot bind Tai Long after his Martial Soul evolution.
Clear Sky Hammer manifestation	81 123	Reveals the small black hammer in his left hand during the battle against Yu Tianheng. Later uses the Clear Sky Hammer against Tai Long, though trauma associated with the Titan Giant Ape disrupts his use of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

Hidden-weapon combat milestone — victory over Tai Long	168	Uses the Godly Zhuge Crossbow's rapid-fire projectiles to shatter Tai Long's Ape God Aura and win their rematch. This is a victory through equipment and combat technique, not a stated soul-power breakthrough; more than half of her Eight Spider Lances are shattered during the fight.

Background / History

Tang San is Tang Hao's child and was identified as a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. Although others describe him as having been born with full soul power, Tang San privately knows that his full soul power was earned through cultivation. 23 51 Tang San'er later states that she has never visited the Clear Sky Sect and rejects any affiliation with it, identifying the Tang Sect as the only sect in her heart. 168

Tang San's mother is Ah Yin, a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor. Tang Hao initially intended to use Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to heal Tang San's catastrophic injury, but Qian Daoliu later took the bone and gave it to Qian Ni. 126 127

At Shrek Academy, he serves as the Shrek Team's vice-captain. He recognizes that Qian Ni's ten-thousand-year first-ring path cannot be copied casually, but uses it as motivation to pursue stronger soul rings through incremental physical training and preparation. 31 63

Following Shrek Academy's merger into Blue Tyrant Academy, Tang San relocates to Heaven Dou City with the other Shrek members. 108 128

Tai Long's Ape God Fist inflicts a severe lower-body injury on Tang San during the Blue Tyrant Academy challenge. In seeking to save him, Xiao Wu follows Qian Ni's instructions and bathes him with water from the Mother-Drowning Spring; the process transforms Tang San into a girl, Tang San'er, while significantly reducing the injury. 124 125 126 127

Tang San'er later discovers that hot water can temporarily restore a male outward form, but the underlying injury leaves that form physically ruined. She consequently chooses to remain female and conceals the reversibility of the transformation from the others. 129

Despite this practical adaptation, Tang San'er later seeks Lovesick Heartbreak Red, believing the immortal herb might restore a complete male body. She attempts to obtain Liu Erlong's assistance indirectly through Ma Hongjun, offering him a set of hidden weapons in exchange for help. Ma Hongjun conceals his failure to make the request, delaying her efforts while accepting the weapons. 166 169

Ah Yin's remains subsequently fall into Qian Ni's possession after Qian Daoliu takes her Blue Silver Emperor sapling from Tang Hao. Qian Ni cultivates and replicates her at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, suppressing the duplicated consciousnesses and using one duplicate to produce Ye Lingling's fifth soul ring. These developments concern Tang San'er's mother, but Tang San'er is not shown learning of them in these chapters. 162

Personality

Tang San is fiercely protective of Xiao Wu. When the Titan Giant Ape takes her, he immediately tries to pursue it despite the danger of the surrounding soul-beast horde; later, he attempts the rescue even after his flight support is nearly exhausted. 44 45

He is strategic and restrained in combat. During Zhao Wuji's gravity training, he conceals his full speed and stamina, uses Blue Silver Grass to prevent his teammates from gaining an advantage, and intends to save his decisive effort for the end. 56

Tang San remains devoted to Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, even when Yu Xiaogang's confrontation with Qian Ni places him in an uncomfortable position. At the same time, he considers Qian Ni the benefactor who saved both Xiao Wu and himself. 53

His strategic approach remains evident in his battle with Tai Long, where he uses movement, hidden weapons, Blue Silver Grass, and provocation to wear down Ape God Aura. However, the evolved aura's resemblance to the Titan Giant Ape triggers his fear for Xiao Wu and causes him to lose composure. 123

After becoming Tang San'er, she is initially confused and insecure about her changed body but rapidly adapts to living as a woman after recognizing that her former male form cannot be fully restored. 128 129

Her adaptation does not eliminate her desire to recover her original body. She privately places hope in Lovesick Heartbreak Red and calculates that trading hidden weapons for Ma Hongjun's help costs her little, since she already intended to equip her companions. 166 169

Her attachment to Xiao Wu can override caution and respect for authority. When Xiao Wu enters Qian Ni's Poison Formation, Tang San'er defies Liu Erlong's orders and enters alone, insisting that she must personally confirm Xiao Wu's safety. She regards Xiao Wu as potentially even more important to her than Tang Hao or Yu Xiaogang. 158

Tang San'er retains affection for her former Shrek brothers despite their schemes and vulgar behavior. She continues making protective weapons for them, although she resents Dai Mubai's indecent use of Tang Sect equipment and becomes furious when Ma Hongjun exploits her trust. 169

Xiao Wu's mistaken belief that she is romantically involved with Ma Hongjun drives her into another emotional outburst. Nevertheless, at the height of her anger, Tang San'er regains enough composure to demand a formal duel with Tai Long. After winning, she attempts to turn their shared resentment toward the Clear Sky Sect into an alliance. 168

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass

Tang San uses Blue Silver Grass for battlefield control, rescue, and interference. Its Blue Silver Emperor aspect has not yet awakened, leaving it equivalent to ordinary Blue Silver Grass at this point. 44 59

• Restrains opponents and allies alike, including dragging Ma Hongjun back during gravity training. 56
• Binds and nearly severs a Human-Faced Demon Spider at its cephalothorax-abdomen joint. 48
• Supports Shrek's frontliners by restricting Imperial Battle Team members during the team battle. 78
• Spreads across the Soul Fighting Platform to interfere with Tai Long's movements and attacks. 123
• Uses Spider Web Restraint, the third soul skill granted by the Human-Faced Demon Spider ring, to create a corrosive and venomous binding web. 123
• Binds Oscar completely as a precaution while the two are trapped in Qian Ni's sealed house. 131
• Uses Blue Silver Entanglement and Parasite against Tai Long; Ape God Aura blocks Parasite, while Entanglement has only a limited hindering effect. 123
• Helps restrain Ma Hongjun during the Whale Rubber trial while coordinating the use of his Phoenix Fire to heat water. 130
• Covers the arena floor during her successful rematch with Tai Long. 168

Mysterious Heaven Technique and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track

Tang San's cultivation technique continuously restores his soul power during extreme physical exertion, while Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track contributes to his movement and bodily coordination. 56 59

• Allows him to endure Zhao Wuji's double gravity burden longer than expected. 56 59
• Provides the foundation for his explosive movement, though he deliberately withholds his full speed during training. 56
• Combines with the Eight Spider Lances to evade Tai Long's attacks across the Soul Fighting Platform. 123
• Fails to properly process the energy of aphrodisiac Whale Rubber after he temporarily returns to his damaged male form, resulting in a severe internal injury. 131
• Cannot overcome the tangled, damaged meridians around his previous lower-body injury during the Whale Rubber absorption attempt, allowing heat to accumulate dangerously. 131

Purple Demon Eyes

Tang San uses Purple Demon Eyes for enhanced observation.

• Identifies Dragon Duke and Snake Granny from the air during the pursuit of the Titan Giant Ape. 45
• Recognizes the unconscious Yu Xiaogang in darkness. 61
• Tracks Tai Long's movements and the trajectory of hidden weapons during their fight. 123
• Allows Tang San'er to recognize Xiao Wu leaving the academy at night and follow her into Sunset Forest. 158
• Assists her attempts to navigate the poisonous miasma around Qian Ni's valley, but does not prevent her from becoming lost without a guide or knowledge of the correct route. 158

Hidden Weapons

Tang San employs concealed weapons alongside his martial soul techniques.

• Silent Sleeve Arrow — prepared while flying after the Titan Giant Ape and later fired at Yu Tianheng. 45 81
• Zhuge Divine Crossbow — carried while confronting the dying Human-Faced Demon Spider. 48
• Godly Zhuge Crossbow — kept within one of the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges' jade storage pieces and later returned after Dugu Bo temporarily takes it. 110
• Tightback Flower-Patterned Crossbow — used against Tai Long in an attempt to breach Ape God Aura. 123
• Shoe Blade and poisoned concealed weapons — prepared for the Blue Tyrant Academy challenge. 123
• Flying Sky Claw — included in the protective weapon sets she makes for her Shrek companions. 169
• Sand-Throwing Shadow — deliberately withheld, alongside the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, during the first Tai Long battle because Tang San fears accidentally killing him and creating difficulties for Flender. 123
• Manufactures complete protective sets containing Sleeve Arrows, a Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and a Flying Sky Claw for her companions. Oscar values them as lifesaving equipment for an auxiliary Soul Master, while Dai Mubai uses them successfully in arena battles. 169
• Uses the Godly Zhuge Crossbow without her earlier restraint in the rematch against Tai Long. Its rapid-fire steel projectiles destroy Ape God Aura and leave numerous wounds in his shoulders and right thigh, securing her victory. 168
• Demonstrates the crossbow's lethal potential to the other Shrek members, prompting Dai Mubai to consider its use against Dai Weisi in the Star Luo succession struggle. 168

Eight Spider Lances

After absorbing the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring, Tang San develops eight purple-black external spider limbs. 49 51

• The lances carry the Human-Faced Demon Spider's venom. 51
• They enhance his physical ability and speed during gravity training. 56
• As an external soul bone, they do not occupy one of the six standard soul-bone positions. 51
• Improve his mobility when combined with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track during the fight against Tai Long. 123
• Dugu Bo breaks all eight lances while capturing Tang San, though he later resumes using them. 110 123
• Their abrupt manifestation tears Tang San'er's clothing after her transformation. 128
• Enable Tang San'er to keep pace with Xiao Wu while following her into Sunset Forest. She also deploys them to flee Jinshi inside the Poison Formation. 158
• More than half are shattered during the rematch with Tai Long, despite Tang San'er ultimately winning. 168

Clear Sky Hammer

Tang San manifests a small black hammer in his left hand when Yu Tianheng's lightning paralyzes the Shrek Team. 81

• Uses the hammer in a desperate charge against Yu Tianheng, but is defeated by the latter's lightning and Dream-Shattering Blade. 81
• Manifests the weapon against Tai Long after being overwhelmed by memories of the Titan Giant Ape. 123
• Attempts to use the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, but his emotional instability prevents proper execution of the technique. 112 123
• Tang San'er summons it in her right hand during the restaurant confrontation with Tai Long, but his Ape God Aura blocks her initial attack. 168
• Retains the martial soul despite explicitly rejecting affiliation with the Clear Sky Sect. 168

Tang Sect Secret Arts

Tang San supplements her martial souls and hidden weapons with Tang Sect techniques.

• Uses Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to adjust the position of Oscar's sausages during the battle against Tai Long. 123
• Intends to review the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer after noticing an unexplained increase in the hammer technique's power. 112
• After defeating Tai Long in their rematch, attributes her earlier loss partly to holding back and violating the Tang Sect General Principles. 168

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges — a storage-type soul tool with twenty-four jade pieces; Yu Xiaogang gave it to Tang San. 27 After Dugu Bo removes three pieces, the remaining belt is referred to as Twenty-One Bridges Under Moonlight. Tang San'er stores her Godly Zhuge Crossbow in it after defeating Tai Long. 110 168
• Zhuge Divine Crossbow — a hidden weapon used during the Human-Faced Demon Spider encounter. 48
• Silent Sleeve Arrow — concealed projectile weapon used against Yu Tianheng. 81
• Whale Glue Pellets — cultivation resources given to him by Yu Xiaogang to strengthen his physique for higher-level soul-ring absorption. 51
• Whale Rubber — an aphrodisiac cultivation resource forcibly provided by Qian Ni during the Four Maggot Brothers' strengthening exercise; Tang San'er's attempt to absorb it after temporarily reverting to male causes a severe injury. 129 131
• Dugu Bo's poison — diluted venom supplied to Tang San as payment for acting as Dugu Bo's poison-processing labor. 123 126 Dugu Bo later exchanges his potent venom for empty storage jade stones outside Sunset Forest. 158
• Three storage jade pieces — removed from the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges by Dugu Bo, who repurposes them to store poisonous waste. 110
• Protective hidden-weapon sets — Sleeve Arrows, Godly Zhuge Crossbows, and Flying Sky Claws crafted for Ma Hongjun and the other Shrek companions. 169
• Lovesick Heartbreak Red — a sought-after immortal herb, not a confirmed possession. Tang San'er hopes it might restore a complete male body, but Ma Hongjun fails to secure the requested help from Liu Erlong. 166 168 169

Relationships

• Xiao Wu — closest companion; Tang San risks himself to pursue the Titan Giant Ape after her abduction and prioritizes her safety over claiming the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring. 31 44 48 Xiao Wu later desperately seeks Qian Ni's help after Tang San's injury and brings the Divine Springs water that transforms him into Tang San'er. 125 126 127 Tang San'er follows her into Sunset Forest and risks entering the Poison Formation alone out of concern for her safety. 158 Xiao Wu asks Liu Erlong to tell Tang San that she misses her mother and is returning to her family rather than returning to the academy. 159 Their relationship is subsequently strained when Xiao Wu mistakenly believes Tang San'er and Ma Hongjun are lovers; Tang San'er desperately attempts to explain, but Xiao Wu leaves before hearing her out. 168 169
• Qian Ni — benefactor and powerful ally; Qian Ni helps Tang San pursue the Titan Giant Ape and saves Xiao Wu, leaving Tang San deeply grateful but wary of offending him. 45 48 53 Qian Ni's instructions ultimately enable Tang San'er's survival through a change of identity, though his methods leave her with lasting complications. 126 128 129 When Xiao Wu enters his territory, Tang San'er's gratitude gives way to fear and suspicion: she calls him an unbeatable monster and proposes rescuing Xiao Wu and fleeing rather than confronting him. 158
• Yu Xiaogang — teacher; Tang San remains loyal to him despite being caught between Yu Xiaogang's theories and Qian Ni's demonstrated power. 51 53 Yu Xiaogang later disappears after taking Yu Tianheng's Dream-Shattering Blade, before being found again by Liu Erlong near the Star Dou Forest. 125 132
• Tang Hao — father; Tang San's status as Tang Hao's son is noted by Yu Xiaogang. 51 Tang Hao seeks to heal Tang San using Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, but reacts furiously upon finding his child transformed into a daughter and attacks Qian Ni. 126 127 Tang San'er later cites her father's dislike of her changed identity as a reason to reject the Clear Sky Sect. 168
• Ah Yin — mother and a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor. Her Right Leg Bone was intended to restore Tang San's injuries. 126 Qian Ni later distributes five identical copies of the bone to his followers. 159 Qian Daoliu also takes Ah Yin's sapling from Tang Hao and gives it to Qian Ni, who cultivates and replicates her as a source of Blue Silver Emperor resources. 162
• Dai Mubai — Shrek teammate and captain; the two cooperate in battle, though Tang San also competes with him during training. 56 63 78 Dai Mubai later includes Tang San'er in his bargain with Qian Ni to strengthen the former Shrek brothers. 129 He helps restrain Tang San'er during her quarrel with Ma Hongjun and proposes making Ma Hongjun pay for a group meal, but his attempt to bring the Blue Tyrant Team into the gathering contributes to the ensuing misunderstanding. 169 Tang San'er disapproves of his vulgar use of her hidden weapons, while Dai Mubai admires the Godly Zhuge Crossbow's potential against Dai Weisi. 168 169
• Zhao Wuji — Shrek instructor; Zhao Wuji reprimands Tang San for leaving the group in Star Dou Forest and later subjects him to double gravity training because of Yu Xiaogang's disruption. 49 56
• Dugu Bo — initially pursues and captures Tang San over an insult, breaks the Eight Spider Lances, and takes three of the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges' jade pieces. He later supplies Tang San with diluted poison in exchange for using the jade pieces to manage the Poison-Poison Fruit's side effects. 110 123 126 Their arrangement continues after the forest expedition, with Tang San'er willingly accepting potent venom in exchange for empty storage stones. 158
• Tai Long — Blue Tyrant Academy opponent whose evolved Titan Giant Gorilla Martial Soul defeats Tang San and inflicts the injury that leads to Tang San'er's transformation. 123 124 125 He later mistakes Tang San'er's dealings with Ma Hongjun for a romantic relationship, causing Xiao Wu to misunderstand them. Tang San'er defeats him in a formal rematch and offers him membership in the Tang Sect based on their shared rejection of the Clear Sky Sect. Tai Long refuses after she asks him to explain the misunderstanding to Xiao Wu. 168 169
• Ma Hongjun — Shrek companion and former fellow member of the Four Maggot Brothers. Tang San'er offers him hidden weapons in exchange for obtaining Liu Erlong's help with Lovesick Heartbreak Red, but he conceals his failure and accepts the weapons. His deception causes a bitter quarrel, and Tai Long misinterprets their interaction as a lovers' dispute. 166 169 After the rematch with Tai Long, Tang San'er drags Ma Hongjun onto the platform to punish him for worsening the situation. 168
• Oscar — Shrek auxiliary teammate; Tang San'er binds him during the Whale Rubber trial to prevent any danger from the drug's effects. 131 He later gratefully accepts her protective hidden weapons and helps Dai Mubai restrain her during her angry confrontations. 168 169
• Liu Erlong — Blue Tyrant Academy dean and protector. She prevents Tang San'er from immediately following Xiao Wu into the Poison Formation, stating that she will retrieve Xiao Wu herself, but Tang San'er enters after her pressure dissipates. 158 Liu Erlong subsequently conveys Tang San'er's concern to Xiao Wu. 159 Tang San'er later tries to enlist her assistance in obtaining Lovesick Heartbreak Red through Ma Hongjun. 166 169
• Jiang Zhu — healer who treats Tang San after Tai Long's attack but cannot fully restore the damaged tissue. 125 After the Whale Rubber injury, she mistakenly blames a lack of restraint between Tang San and Xiao Wu. 131
• Jinshi — Qian Ni's Praetorian Alien guardian; confronts and chases Tang San'er after she becomes lost inside the Poison Formation. 158
