Power Progression

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

Tang San initially remained unaware of Tang Shuo’s true identity and extraordinary advancement, repeatedly believing that his own cultivation had left his older brother behind. By the time of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, however, he recognized Tang Shuo and his hostility toward him had become an open personal feud. 25 32 95

After repeated defeats by Tang Shuo, Tang San trained under Tang Hao to complete Divine Slaughter’s Domain. He later entered Slaughter City alone to further temper himself through genuine killing, eventually surviving its trials and advancing toward the Road to Hell. 104 126 128

Tang San subsequently completed the Sea God’s final trial and inherited the Sea God’s godhood. Upon returning to the Clear Sky Sect, he compelled the sect to recognize him as its supreme authority and ordered it to reenter the world during the war against the Spirit Hall Empire. 137 140 141

Appearance

Tang San is a black-haired youth with an ordinary but composed appearance. During his return to Holy Soul Village, he wore the uniform of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy and carried the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night at his waist. 1 11

Following his inheritance of the Sea God’s godhood, Tang San appeared with black hair, blue eyes, a golden trident mark on his brow, blue divine armor, and the Sea God’s Trident. 140

• Black hair. 11 140
• Usually calm and restrained in bearing. 11
• Uses the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night storage soul tool. 1
• Wore Sea God divine armor after inheriting godhood. 140

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

Tang San is fiercely protective of Shrek Academy’s members and treats attacks on them as personal provocations. Dai Mubai’s severe injuries at Shuofeng’s hands prompted him to seek revenge, while later defeats hardened his resentment toward Tang Shuo into a vow of vengeance. 53 104

Although usually strategic, Tang San can become desperate and reckless when his pride, companions, or martial abilities are threatened. He repeatedly continued fighting Tang Shuo despite overwhelming injuries, resorting to the Clear Sky Hammer, Eight Spider Lances, Tang Sect hidden weapons, and Divine Slaughter’s Domain. 61 108 109 129

As the Sea God, Tang San demonstrates increased authority and confidence. He confronts the Clear Sky Sect’s elders directly, orders the sect to reenter the world, and commands its forces in the war against Spirit Hall. 140 141 142
