Background

Tang San awakened the Clear Sky Hammer at age six. After this awakening, Tang Hao left Holy Soul Village with him while abandoning Tang Shuo, Tang San’s older brother, behind with only a few coins. Tang Hao continued to regard Tang San as the son with boundless potential while dismissing Tang Shuo as a failure. 1 32

After studying at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy for over a year, Tang San returned to Holy Soul Village with Xiao Wu. He described Tang Shuo as an ordinary person with a damaged mirror martial soul and no soul power, then treated his brother with pity and condescension. Tang San gave him several gold soul coins, declared that they belonged to different worlds, and said he would not return. 2

At Shrek Academy, Tang San became a central member of the Seven Monsters. He trained under Yu Xiaogang, supported his teammates through strenuous physical exercises, and later advanced to Soul Venerable after acquiring his third soul ring and the Eight Spider Lances. 25 31

Personality

Tang San is disciplined, analytical, and highly competitive. He endures intense training, carries additional weight for Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, and carefully evaluates the combat methods behind Shuofeng’s arena victories rather than dismissing them outright. 25 48

He is also loyal to his Shrek companions. When Ma Hongjun was critically poisoned, Tang San immediately took charge of treatment, using acupuncture and poison knowledge for hours while Dai Mubai protected Ma Hongjun’s heart meridian. 42

However, Tang San is dismissive toward Tang Shuo. He considers his elder brother powerless and unsuitable for cultivation, and later mistakenly believes that the gap between them will only continue to widen in his own favor. 2 25 32
