Background

Tang San is a transmigrator who retained the knowledge and combat arts of his previous life as a Tang Sect expert. Before entering Nuoding Junior Academy, he had trained the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mystic Jade Hand, and Purple Demon Eyes since childhood. His Innate Full Soul Power and concealed Twin Martial Souls gave him great confidence in his ability to defeat peers. 12 17

At Nuoding, Tang San initially presents Blue Silver Grass as his only martial soul and calls it weak while concealing the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Sect techniques, and Hidden Weapons. He becomes Yu Xiaogang's disciple and joins the Work-Study Student Dormitory. 22 29

Personality

Tang San is highly competitive and protective of his pride. He often projects calm humility while withholding his strongest abilities, particularly when seeking to impress Xiao Wu or Gu Yue Na'er. Defeat provokes anger, but he repeatedly resumes fighting even after severe injuries. 22 24 193

He also acts protectively toward his companions. He confronts Xiao Chenyu's group on behalf of the Work-Study Student Dormitory, assists Xiao Wu against Dai Mubai, and volunteers to compete for Oscar's soul ring. 43 90 117

His loyalty to Tang Hao becomes a central motivation after witnessing his father's defeat by the Medusa Queen. Tang San later challenges Gu Yue Na'er to defend Tang Hao's honor, falls into despair after losing, and ultimately recommits himself to surpassing both Gu Yue Na'er and Lin Fan. 230 235 238 239

Story Role / Major Arcs

Nuoding Academy

Tang San challenges Lin Fan while concealing most of his abilities, but Lin Fan defeats him after using the Berserk skill. Tang San considers retaliating with a Sleeve Arrow before admitting defeat. 22 24

After acquiring his first Datura Snake soul ring, Tang San confronts Xiao Chenyu's group and displays Blue Silver Grass Entanglement, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Mystic Jade Hand. Feng Baobao interrupts the confrontation, easily defeats him, and leaves him injured; Lin Fan subsequently establishes Tang San as his lackey. 44 45

Shrek Academy and the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent

Five years later, Tang San enters Suotuo City with Lin Fan, Gu Yue Na'er, and Xiao Wu. At Shrek, he cooperates with the others against Zhao Wuji by combining Blue Silver Grass Entanglement with Gu Yue Na'er's Elemental Tide. 45 56

Tang San volunteers to fight Meng Yiran for Oscar's Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent soul ring. Although he begins the match confidently, Lin Fan secretly disrupts him with elemental control, allowing Meng Yiran to beat him badly. He subsequently breaks through to level thirty. 109 110 111 114

Duels with Gu Yue Na'er

During the Yue-Fan Team's battle against Tang San and Xiao Wu, Tang San uses Blue Silver Grass, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and the Eight Spider Lances against Gu Yue Na'er. None can overcome her; she breaks his lances with the Silver Dragon Spear, forcing him to surrender. 191 192 193

Following Medusa Queen's defeat of Tang Hao, Tang San reveals the Clear Sky Hammer and challenges Gu Yue Na'er to restore his family's honor. Gu Yue Na'er defeats him decisively, leaving Tang San despondent enough to attempt suicide before Lin Fan stops him and pushes him to continue growing stronger. 235 236 237 238
