Background / History

Tang Ya lost her parents and the Tang Sect’s former foundation, leaving her as the impoverished sect master responsible for restoring its legacy. The Ironblood Sect is identified as the enemy that destroyed her family, making revenge and the Tang Sect’s revival central to her ambitions. 20 29 61

She meets Wang Xiao and Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest while fighting a Datura Snake alongside Bei Bei. Her Blue Silver Grass reacts warmly and joyfully when she touches the unconscious Wang Xiao, giving her an immediate and unexplained sense of familiarity. 5

After Wang Xiao incapacitates the Datura Snake, Tang Ya absorbs its Spirit Ring and gains her third ring. She later recruits both Wang Xiao and Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect, readily appointing Wang Xiao as its senior eldest disciple and treating the pair as younger brothers. 6 7

Appearance

Tang Ya is a beautiful, youthful girl known for her high ponytail, school uniform, and energetic presence. Wang Xiao describes her as having fair skin, delicate features, and a slender figure. 5

• Wears her hair in a distinctive high ponytail. 5
• Has fair skin and finely defined features. 5
• Commonly wears a school uniform with a short skirt and thigh-high stockings. 5
• Is two years older than Wang Xiao. 61

Personality

Tang Ya is warm, impulsive, and fiercely protective of those she considers part of the Tang Sect. She welcomes Wang Xiao and Huo Yuhao despite the sect’s poverty, offers to help Wang Xiao hunt Soul Beasts even before he agrees to join, and enthusiastically defends Huo Yuhao when Xu Sanshi provokes him. 7 25

Beneath her cheerful manner, she is burdened by the Tang Sect’s decline, her family’s destruction, and her lack of cultivation resources. She is painfully aware that her Blue Silver Grass is considered weak and that her own progress has lagged behind her peers. 20

She is also a conspicuous foodie: grilled fish immediately catches her attention, and Wang Xiao’s vitality trees greatly increase her appetite. 7 20

Her gratitude toward Wang Xiao gradually becomes emotional dependence and romantic conflict. Although she is formally Bei Bei’s girlfriend, she increasingly resents what she sees as his failure to support her ambitions, while Wang Xiao repeatedly provides practical help, money, protection, and new Tang Sect members. 35 60

Tang Sect Revival

Tang Ya’s primary goal is restoring the Tang Sect, but she initially lacks both money and powerful disciples. Wang Xiao resolves to change her circumstances by providing plans for Soul Tool-powered transportation and encouraging her to sell the knowledge to the Sun Moon Empire. 20

Her Sun Moon Empire trip succeeds beyond expectations, earning one million Gold Soul Coins. Wang Xiao refuses repayment and calls the money an early graduation gift, giving Tang Ya concrete hope that the sect can recover. 35

By Wang Xiao’s return after a year away, Tang Ya has recruited Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong’er, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, Wufeng, and Jiang Nannan into the Tang Sect. She credits Wang Xiao’s support, funding, and relationships for making this expansion possible. 60

Trivia

• Tang Ya’s first reaction to Huo Yuhao’s grilled fish is immediate excitement. 7
• Wang Xiao’s golden vitality trees increase her appetite and cause a far stronger reaction in her than in Wang Dong’er, apparently because of the resonance between her Blue Silver Grass and his Blue Silver Emperor. 20 23
• She initially doubts that Wang Xiao’s handwritten transportation proposal has any financial value because of its messy handwriting. 20
