Personality

Tang San is disciplined, analytical, and intensely determined. He studies opponents’ patterns, calculates timing windows, and develops targeted countermeasures rather than relying solely on raw strength. After reviewing Su Chen’s formation, he identifies the likely soul-power burden of maintaining forty ten-thousand-year summons and builds Shrek’s initial strategy around extending the battle past that limit 32.

His loyalty to his teammates is both his defining strength and a vulnerability. Su Chen recognizes that Tang San will prioritize rescuing allies, then designs the team battle to force him into impossible choices 35 37. Even when Su Chen offers surrender, Tang San refuses to abandon Xiao Wu or accept defeat passively 38.

Defeat reinforces rather than breaks his resolve. After losing to Su Chen, he studies Beast-Soul Unity, seeks a detailed map of the Star Dou Great Forest’s core area, and commits himself to dangerous training for a rematch 50.

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass

Tang San’s primary martial soul provides large-scale control, battlefield perception, binding, and projectile guidance.

• Spreads across large portions of the arena to establish a sensory and control network 47.
• Forms compressed chains capable of attacking from the ground, air, and flanks simultaneously 36.
• Creates Spider Web Binding to seal the sky and obstruct Purple Lightning Thunder Eagles 47.
• Directs shattered stone fragments as a guided projectile barrage when combined with the Haotian Hammer 38.
• Is vulnerable to Ling Shuang’s Heavenly Net Immortal Vine, which devours and restrains his grass within its plant domain 36 37.

Haotian Hammer

Tang San’s concealed second martial soul is an exceptionally destructive heavy weapon. Its use rapidly consumes his soul power and life force 38.

• Haotian Hammer: Shatter — Creates a five-meter crater and repels several of Su Chen’s summons with its shockwave 47.
• Earthshattering Hammer — Breaks Su Chen’s frontline formation through successive direct strikes 48.
• Grand Sumeru Hammer: Mountain-Splitting — Shatters the arena floor into a projectile storm directed by Blue Silver Grass; one fragment cuts Su Chen’s cheek 38.
• Its recoil fractures three fingers in Tang San’s right hand after the team battle 39.
• Extended use places severe strain on his body, especially when he activates both martial souls simultaneously 38.

Tang Sect Hidden Weapons

Tang San uses concealed weapons with precision, timing, and tactical intent.

• Sealing Pouch — Fires three sleeve arrows along converging arcs to test an opponent’s first reaction 47.
• Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus — Miniature explosive weapons powerful enough to force a ten-thousand-year Fearclaw Bear back three steps 47.
• Prepared a specially tempered Blue Silver Grass fragment that interrupts Mo Qianye’s soul-power transmission for 0.3 seconds; Xiao Wu uses it during her match 46.
• His hidden-weapon handling is compromised when Chu Yao’s poison mist reduces his finger dexterity by forty percent 36.

Xuantian Technique

A cultivation technique that enhances Tang San’s endurance, recovery, and internal energy control.

• Allows him to purge poison and continue fighting after his hands are impaired 36.
• Sustains him through Su Chen’s combined lightning, assassination, and frontal-pressure formation despite mounting wounds 48.
• Provides enough recovery for Tang San to expect partial healing of his fractured fingers within two days 40.

Purple Demon Eyes

A spiritual technique used for perception and direct mental attacks.

• Helps Tang San maintain clarity while under severe pressure during the team battle 38.
• Mental Shock interrupts Su Chen’s control over his legion for 0.3 seconds, creating an opening through the Black Tortoise defense line 48.
• The attack triggers Su Chen’s King’s Will, which retaliates with a mental backlash that disrupts Tang San’s final hammer strike 48.

Ghost Shadow Trace

A movement technique included among Tang San’s expected one-on-one arsenal against Su Chen 40.

Tournament Role

Preparing for Sky Abyss Academy

Tang San senses an instinctive chill upon seeing the name “Sky Abyss,” recognizing an approaching worthy opponent before meeting Su Chen directly 29. After Yu Xiaogang learns that all seven Sky Abyss members possess four ten-thousand-year spirit rings, Tang San responds by immediately beginning additional training 30.

He identifies Su Chen’s forty summons as a disciplined army rather than a disordered collection of soul beasts: Fearclaw Bears lead the front, Shadow Leopards secure the flanks, Thunder Eagles control the air, and Black Tortoises protect Su Chen 32. Tang San initially concludes that Su Chen’s likely weakness is the soul-power cost of sustaining the legion and proposes a prolonged-battle strategy 32.

Shrek Academy Team Battle

Tang San leads Shrek’s opening decapitation attempt against Su Chen, using Blue Silver Grass chains while Ning Rongrong buffs him and Dai Mubai 36. Su Chen’s team has anticipated the assault: Ling Shuang counters Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass, Jiang Tieyi’s gravity field restricts his movement, and Chu Yao’s poison disrupts his hidden weapons 36.

As Shrek’s formation collapses, Su Chen gives Tang San the choice of watching his teammates fall or moving and leaving Xiao Wu under crushing gravity 37. Tang San responds by revealing the Haotian Hammer and eventually launches a field-wide stone barrage that wounds Su Chen’s cheek—the first visible tournament injury Su Chen suffers 38.

Sky Abyss Academy wins, but Tang San’s refusal to surrender and his final assault earn the crowd’s respect 38.

Individual Match Against Su Chen

Tang San enters the final individual match with his right hand still recovering from three fractured fingers 40. He begins by testing Su Chen with sleeve arrows, then uses Blue Silver Grass and Spider Web Binding to limit the Thunder Eagles’ movement 47.

Su Chen’s Shadow Leopards ambush Tang San through Shadow Fusion, injuring his left arm. Tang San abandons his Blue Silver Grass field and commits fully to the Haotian Hammer, forcing Su Chen to reveal all forty ten-thousand-year summons 47.

Tang San breaks the initial formation with three hammer strikes, survives Su Chen’s layered counterattack, and uses Purple Demon Eyes—Mental Shock to reach Su Chen directly 48. Su Chen’s King’s Will disrupts the finishing blow, after which Point-Blank Summoning breaks three of Tang San’s ribs 48.

Tang San loses the final clash but leaves the arena standing with the Haotian Hammer as support. When Su Chen promises a clearer victory next time, Tang San answers that the outcome may be different 48.

Relationships

• Su Chen — Rival and tactical equal. Tang San studies Su Chen’s summons, formations, and Beast-Soul Unity after losing to him; both acknowledge the other’s strength 32 39 48 50.
• Xiao Wu — Close companion and trusted combat partner. Tang San refuses to abandon her during Sky Abyss’s team battle, while Xiao Wu supports him during his recovery and executes a countermeasure he prepared for Mo Qianye 38 39 46.
• Yu Xiaogang — Teacher and strategist. Yu Xiaogang provides intelligence on Sky Abyss Academy and warns Tang San against reckless use of the Haotian Hammer 30 37.
• Shrek Seven Monsters — Tang San serves as their central coordinator, controlling vision and shifting between offense and defense through Blue Silver Grass 30.
• Ning Rongrong — Teammate whom Tang San reassures before her individual match, telling her to maintain her Seven Treasure Glazed Tower for as long as possible rather than demanding victory 40.
