Background

Tang San grew up in Holy Soul Village as the son of Tang Hao. Jiang Lin initially tried to befriend him, but Tang San showed no interest; they became near-strangers. When Tang San later passed Jiang Lin being beaten by Alto’s group, he watched without intervening and left 1.

He attended the village’s Martial Soul Awakening ceremony and awakened Blue Silver Grass. Although Su Yuntao dismissed it as useless, Tang San tested at Innate Full Soul Power. Jiang Lin alone sensed that Tang San also possessed the concealed Clear Sky Hammer, but chose not to expose him 6.

Old Jack arranged for Tang San and Jiang Lin to enroll at Notting Academy. Tang San joined Yu Xiaogang as a disciple after the latter verified his certificate and recognized the likelihood that he had Twin Martial Souls 8 9.

Personality

Tang San is reserved, self-reliant, and accustomed to isolation. He does not seek Jiang Lin’s approval and initially treats him as a stranger despite traveling and enrolling with him 1 8.

He is fiercely protective of Yu Xiaogang’s reputation. Jiang Lin’s claim that Yu Xiaogang was too weak to teach him provoked Tang San into challenging Jiang Lin, even though he had not yet properly assessed the difference in their strength 9 10.

Despite being decisively defeated, Tang San remains proud and composed under pressure. With the King’s Power Sword at his throat, he refused to plead and attempted to reveal the Clear Sky Hammer as a final countermeasure. He later characterized the fight as a spar rather than admit defeat to Yu Xiaogang 10.

Appearance

Tang San is a young boy with black hair and black eyes 1.

• Carries a facial scar inflicted by Jiang Lin’s King’s Power Sword during their duel 10 12.
• His hands were severely cut when his Mysterious Jade Hand struck the King’s Power Sword’s sword qi 10.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San possesses two Martial Souls, though only Blue Silver Grass was publicly revealed at his awakening.

• Blue Silver Grass — Awakened publicly; Su Yuntao considered it a useless Martial Soul despite Tang San’s Innate Full Soul Power 6.
• Clear Sky Hammer — Concealed second Martial Soul, sensed by Jiang Lin during the awakening ceremony 6.
• Tang San summoned a hammer phantom during his duel with Jiang Lin, but it had not yet received a Soul Ring 10.

Innate Full Soul Power

Tang San awakened with Innate Full Soul Power, an outcome that surprised Su Yuntao because of his apparent Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul 6.

• This unusual combination led Yu Xiaogang to theorize that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls 9.
• Su Yuntao invited him to join Martial Soul Hall, but Tang San declined 6.

Tang Sect Techniques

Tang San uses several specialized techniques in close combat.

• Purple Demon Eyes — Enhanced his observation at the beginning of his challenge against Jiang Lin 10.
• Crane Controlling Dragon Catching Technique — Used as part of his opening fighting stance 10.
• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — Creates rapid afterimages and allows him to circle opponents before attacking 10.
• Mysterious Jade Hand — Hardened his hands to strike Jiang Lin, but it was insufficiently developed to endure the King’s Power Sword’s sword qi 10.

Concealed Weapons

Tang San uses hidden weapons to attack from unpredictable angles.

• Fired Bone-Piercing Needles at Jiang Lin’s eyes, back, and lower body while moving with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track 10.
• One needle grazed Jiang Lin’s arm, but Tang San was forced back after Jiang Lin cut his cheek 10.

Relationships

• Jiang Lin — Began as a distant fellow villager whom Tang San ignored during Alto’s assault on Jiang Lin. Their relationship deteriorated after Jiang Lin insulted Yu Xiaogang; Tang San challenged him and was defeated. Tang San later resented Jiang Lin’s growing closeness with Xiao Wu 1 10 16.
• Tang Hao — Father. Tang San consulted him before agreeing to attend Notting Academy 6 8.
• Yu Xiaogang — Teacher and master. Tang San’s respect for him prompted the duel with Jiang Lin, and he concealed the seriousness of his loss from him 9 10.
• Old Jack — Village chief who arranged Tang San’s enrollment at Notting Academy alongside Jiang Lin 5 6 8.
• Xiao Wu — Fellow Dormitory Seven student. Tang San offered her his bedding and tried to help her move her bed, but she chose Jiang Lin’s support instead; he reacted with jealousy to her closeness with Jiang Lin 12 16.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Holy Soul Village

Tang San’s awakening establishes his exceptional innate talent and hidden Twin Martial Souls. His detached treatment of Jiang Lin also establishes the distance between them before they leave the village 1 6.

Notting Academy Enrollment

At the academy gate, Tang San preserved the damaged enrollment certificates and handed them to Yu Xiaogang, earning the latter’s approval. Yu Xiaogang subsequently accepted him as a disciple 9.

Conflict with Jiang Lin

Tang San challenged Jiang Lin over Yu Xiaogang’s honor. His techniques and concealed weapons failed to overcome the King’s Power Sword, and he resorted to revealing the Clear Sky Hammer only after Jiang Lin held a blade at his throat 10.

Dormitory Seven

Tang San arrived after Jiang Lin had defeated Xiao Wu and established control over Dormitory Seven. His attempts to assist Xiao Wu were rejected, altering the expected connection between them and intensifying his hostility toward Jiang Lin 11 12 16.
