Tang Ya

Biodata

Background and History

Tang Ya arrives in Heaven Dou City with Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Ma Xiaotao after their group travels ten thousand years into the past. Bibi Dong’s appearance on the Golden Rankings, together with the city’s lack of familiar Soul Guidance technology, helps her identify the era. She is eager to see the historical figures she knows from the Tang Sect Records 3 6.

At first, Tang Ya accepts the records’ portrayal of Tang San as righteous and Spirit Hall as evil. Tang Chen’s ranking troubles her when it reveals that he killed innocents, while Qian Renxue’s conduct conflicts with her recorded reputation. After hearing Qian Renxue describe Spirit Hall’s services and speaking with a poor girl whose family depends on its support, Tang Ya resolves to judge the past firsthand 6 9 10 17.

Tang Ya proposes entering the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament to meet the original Shrek Seven Devils, especially Tang San. She and Ma Xiaotao initially plan to compete as a two-person team; Qian Renxue later joins them. The three name their team “A Little Shock for the World” 13 14 34 39.

Her doubts about the records deepen when Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai harass the women, then Shrek’s teachers confront them over Ma Xiaotao’s response. Tang Ya helps demand an apology and asks Ma Xiaotao not to kill anyone before the tournament 25 33 46 47.

Appearance

Tang Ya has long black hair, a lively, delicate face, and a slender figure 6.

Personality

Tang Ya is curious about the people and places she previously knew only through historical records. She wants to test Tang San’s strength and character for herself rather than rely on the Tang Sect’s idealized account 13 14. When evidence contradicts those records, she questions them openly instead of dismissing what she has witnessed 17 33.

She is generous toward Qian Renxue, giving her valuable Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber in thanks for her help. During the disputes with Shrek, Tang Ya is outspoken about harassment but also urges restraint 18 33 47.
