History
Tang San initially regards Feng Yang with hostility and supports Xiao Wu’s refusal to become Feng Yang’s disciple, even claiming he can make decisions for her. He takes pride in his own Soul Ring configuration and considers himself superior to Feng Yang before Feng Yang’s strength becomes apparent. 1
At Shrek Academy, Tang San’s feud with Feng Yang intensifies. His Blue Silver Grass proves ineffective against Feng Yang’s Blue Flame, and he attacks Feng Yang with more than a hundred Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles after Feng Yang humiliates Xiao Wu. 9 Tang San and Xiao Wu form the Three-Five Combination, but their arena winning streak ends against Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing; Tang San suffers a severe hand injury and directs his resentment toward Feng Yang. 10 12
While pursuing a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent’s Spirit Ring, Tang San volunteers to duel Meng Yiran in Oscar’s place. Meng Yiran cuts through his Blue Silver Grass with Crescent Guard and defeats him, leaving him injured and enraged. 18 He later searches the Star Dou Great Forest for Xiao Wu despite the danger posed by the Titan Giant Ape. 20
Tang San’s attempted absorption of a two-thousand-year-old insect Soul Beast’s ring is disrupted when he sees Xiao Wu and Feng Yang nearby. Unable to calm himself, he loses the original ring and absorbs only an eight-year white ring, which initially grants no Soul Skill. 22 25 The resulting public ridicule damages both his reputation and that of Shrek Academy. 28 29
His relationship with Xiao Wu deteriorates into open conflict. After confronting her over the incident in the forest, Tang San becomes jealous of her growing attachment to Feng Yang; they eventually fight, and Xiao Wu defeats him. 26 27 28 When Xiao Wu chooses to leave Shrek with Feng Yang, Tang San unsuccessfully tries to reconcile with her. 34
To restore his standing, Tang San reveals his Twin Martial Souls and begins using the Clear Sky Hammer. He repeatedly faces Xiao Wu and Feng Yang’s disciples in the Soul Master Competition, but Xiao Wu counters his hammer techniques and defeats him again. 73 91 92 93
After Feng Yang kills Tang Hao, Tang San confronts him for his father’s Soul Bones, is beaten and humiliated, then seeks Bibi Dong’s aid alongside Yu Xiaogang. 118 119 With most of his former support gone, he flees with Yu Xiaogang and resolves to cultivate toward level 60 before seeking Sea God Island. 138 Later, he abandons another opportunity to compete when Yan’s appearance suggests Feng Yang may be nearby. 147
Personality
Tang San is proud of his talent and highly sensitive to humiliation. Defeats, public mockery, and the weakness of his Third Soul Ring repeatedly provoke reckless behavior, including charging stronger opponents without strategy and using excessive violence after a team battle. 12 30 31
He is intensely protective of—and emotionally attached to—Xiao Wu. His concern drives him to search for her in the Star Dou Great Forest, but jealousy and resentment over her association with Feng Yang turn that bond hostile. 20 24 27
Despite his temper, Tang San can be patient and tactical in combat. He uses evasive movement to wait for an opening against Xiao Wu and recognizes the danger posed by opponents connected to Feng Yang, choosing to retreat from Huajian Villa rather than risk exposure. 92 147
Abilities & Skills
Blue Silver Grass
Tang San’s primary Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, used as a Control System weapon for restraint and battlefield control. Its vines are vulnerable to sufficiently powerful fire and cutting attacks. 9 18

Clear Sky Hammer

- He adds a Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer to conceal the stigma of his eight-year Blue Silver Grass ring. 73
- Chaotic Cape — a hammer technique used against Xiao Wu. 92
- The hammer possesses immense destructive force and pressure, but Xiao Wu’s Invincible Golden Body and Super Rebound negate and reflect his decisive attack. 92 93
Tang Sect Techniques
Tang San retains several techniques learned before his current life, which enhance his close combat, perception, and evasion. 9 54
- Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps — produces evasive afterimages and lets him avoid Xiao Wu’s rapid attacks for several minutes. 54 92
- Mysterious Jade Hand — reinforces his hands for combat and weapon use. 9
- Purple Demon Eyes — enhances his visual perception. 9
- Mysterious Heaven Skill — an internal cultivation method that grants sustained soul-power endurance; Tang San uses it while contesting Meng Yiran’s weapon. 18
Hidden Weapons
Tang San employs concealed weapons in addition to his Martial Souls.
- Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles — fires a dense barrage of needles; Tang San launches over a hundred at Feng Yang in roughly two seconds. 9
- His hidden weapons are melted by Feng Yang’s Blue Flame when he attempts another ambush. 43

- Meng Yiran — Feng Yang’s disciple who defeats Tang San in a duel for the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent’s Spirit Ring. 18
- Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar — Shrek teammates who support Tang San in arena fights and during several humiliations, though his violent conduct also alienates them. 12 31
