Tang San

Biodata

Background & History

Tang San undergoes his Martial Soul awakening in Holy Spirit Village. Su Yuntao initially dismisses his Blue Silver Grass as a “trash” Martial Soul and refuses to test him, but Xiao Xiao intervenes. The test reveals Tang San possesses Full Innate Spirit Power, equivalent to level 10; he declines Su Yuntao’s invitation to join Spirit Hall. 1

At home, Tang San also manifests a second Martial Soul: the Clear Sky Hammer. His father, Tang Hao, recognizes it immediately, embraces him, and instructs him to protect the Blue Silver Grass with the hammer while concealing the hammer until he is sufficiently strong. 3

Before leaving the village, Xiao Xiao says goodbye to Tang San under the pretext of resolving flaws in his Martial Soul. Tang San is distressed by the sudden departure and suspects that Xiao Xiao may have joined Spirit Hall. 3

Old Jack later brings Tang San to Nuoding Academy. A gate guard mocks both his Blue Silver Grass and claim of full innate Spirit Power, but Yu Xiaogang verifies his Spirit Hall proof and accepts responsibility for him. After Yu deduces that Tang San has Twin Martial Souls, Tang San accepts him as his teacher. 11

While seeking his first Soul Ring with Yu Xiaogang, Tang San encounters a Mandala Snake. Yu is bitten while trying to assist him, and Tang San detoxifies his teacher. Xiao Xiao, who had been watching from concealment, briefly reunites with Tang San before departing again. 11 12
