Tang San

Power Progression

Background / History

Tang San grew up in Holy Soul Village with his father, Tang Hao. He practiced the Purple Demon Eyes before dawn and was already proficient in Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. His friendship with fellow transmigrator Li Xun was close, though Tang San did not share the Mysterious Heaven Skill with him 1.

In his previous life, Tang San was a Tang Sect disciple who devoted himself to hidden weapons and cultivation techniques. His solitary life left him inexperienced in romance, contributing to his embarrassment when he learned that Xiao Wu was his destined partner 19.

After the Heavenly Screen exposed their possible futures, Tang Hao awakened both boys’ Martial Souls himself. Tang San openly revealed Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, prompting an emotional embrace from his father. Tang Hao then arranged for their families to leave the village before interested factions could find them 3.

Tang San later rejected Yu Xiaogang’s attempt to recruit him and objected to his recommendation of a venomous Mandala Snake ring for Blue Silver Grass. With Tang Hao helping to find suitable soul beasts, Tang San instead developed his first Martial Soul toward control and healing 20 21 55.

After moving to Heaven Dou City, Tang San absorbed thousand-year Whale Rubber under Tang Hao's supervision. It strengthened his physique enough that Tang Hao estimated his second-ring tolerance had risen from approximately 750 years to 1,250 years, before his subsequent Immortal Herb refinement 34.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Li Xun entrusted Tang San with choosing how to use its Immortal Herbs. Tang San selected herbs for his father and himself, while giving Li Xun the chance to temper his body in the spring’s opposing ice and fire. Tang San’s own herbs brought him to the threshold of level 20 50 51 52. Years later, he entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy alongside Li Xun and Xiao Wu 91 92.

His Immortal Herb refinement also advanced the Purple Demon Eyes to the Mustard Seed Realm. Upon returning home, he recognized Xiao Wu as a 100,000-Year Shape-Shifting Soul Beast, but reassured her that her identity would not change his regard for her as his sister 56.

During the six years before the Heavenly Screen's return, Tang Yuehua informed Tang Xiao that the future Sea God was Tang Hao's son. Tang Xiao subsequently proposed that the Clear Sky Sect supply its treasured cultivation resources to support Tang San. The revelation also transformed the sect elders' attitude toward Tang Hao, whose connection to a future god displaced their earlier accusations and demands to sever ties 93.

Yu Xiaogang later approached Tang San again at the Li Residence, promising a path to godhood through poison-attribute Soul Rings. Tang San briefly hesitated over his reputation, but Li Xun challenged his qualifications and disproved his ring-limit claims by displaying his own Soul Rings. Yu Yuanzhen removed Yu Xiaogang and ordered him to stay away from both youths, although Yu Xiaogang retained his resentment 106 107 108.

By the tournament in Spirit City, Tang San had become a fourteen-year-old Soul King. He helped the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team reach the championship and, during the subsequent reward allocation, contributed a previously undisclosed skull Soul Bone to Ning Rongrong while accepting the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull for himself 127 138 154.

Appearance

As a child, Tang San has healthy wheat-colored skin and neat, short black hair 1.

• Wears simple but clean clothing 1.
• In a future vision, appears as the Sea God wielding a golden trident 7.
• His future Sea God appearance includes shoulder-length black hair, an azure divine robe, and shimmering divine patterns across his body 3.
• As a youth at the Li Residence, is described as upright and gentle in bearing 106.

Personality

Tang San is disciplined in his training and attentive to the people close to him. He frees Xiao Wu when Tang Hao brings her to their hotel bound, then reassures her that she is safe. He also worries about Li Xun during dangerous cultivation and chooses an unusually valuable body-tempering opportunity for him 1 31 50 54 84.

He is competitive without dismissing Li Xun’s strength. After Li Xun absorbs a powerful second ring, Tang San resolves to achieve a thousand-year ring himself; later spars leave him both frustrated and impressed by Li Xun’s sword techniques 54 75 79.

Although initially inexperienced and easily embarrassed by romantic teasing, he and Xiao Wu deliberately avoid treating the Heavenly Screen's prediction as an immediate relationship commitment. They explain that they have not known each other long enough to act as lovers and prefer to let their feelings develop naturally 19 37.

His relaxed life among friends brings out a playful side, including teasing Li Xun about his future romantic entanglements. He is also protective of the daughter shown in his future: inappropriate comments about Tang Wutong anger him, and the prospect of Li Qingyang becoming close to her prompts him to challenge Li Xun to a duel 41 66 77.

He can place team needs above personal possession. During the championship Soul Bone allocation, he agrees to give his own skull bone to Ning Rongrong because its spiritual enhancement suits her support role 154.

Twin Martial Souls

• Blue Silver Grass — His control-type Martial Soul; its documented skills restrain opponents and heal allies 3 36 55.
