Appearance

Tang San is first identified as a blue-clothed youth among the Shrek Seven Monsters. By the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, he is one of four Shrek competitors missing a right arm. 19 67

• Commonly wears blue clothing. 19
• Lost an arm to Bald Qiang during the Star Dou Great Forest incident. 24
• Qin Feng’s Human-Skin Mask can replicate his face, hair, age, and apparent gender convincingly enough to fool Xiao Wu. 27 28

Personality

Tang San is cautious when confronting unknown danger. In the Star Dou Great Forest, he urged Zhao Wuji to retreat after sensing auras stronger than their Soul Sage teacher, prioritizing the group’s survival over continuing the hunt for Oscar’s Soul Ring. 20

His defeats at Qin Feng’s hands leave him intensely hostile and focused on revenge. After losing an arm and becoming separated from Xiao Wu, he commits himself to harsh training in Sunset Forest so that he can eventually defeat Qin Feng. 24 29

In battle, Tang San is stubborn, resourceful, and unwilling to concede. He continues fighting after exhausting his Soul Power, suffering a chest wound, and losing his hammer clash against Zhen Gang, relying on movement techniques, poisoned weapons, and concealed trump cards rather than surrendering. 72 74 75
