Power Progression

Background / History

Tang San crossed over from another world, where the Tang Sect and hidden weapons had dominated his life. At three years old, he and Tang Xuan confessed their reincarnation to each other. Both had lacked close family ties in their previous lives and deeply valued becoming brothers born of the same mother 1 2.

The twins grew up in Holy Soul Village with Tang Hao. They trapped wild game to supplement their food and household income. Before martial soul awakening, Tang San began forging Silent Sleeve Sword Arrows for their future protection, determined to make the Tang Sect a glorious presence in his new world 2.

After awakening with innate full soul power, Tang San left for Nuoding Academy with Tang Xuan and Old Jack. He asked Grandmaster to accept him as a disciple and chose the control system as his development path. In Dorm Seven, he defeated Wang Sheng but lost to Xiao Wu, who became the dormitory leader and insisted on sharing his bed 6 8 9.

Tang San continued cultivating, forging, and spending time with Xiao Wu. When a visit home revealed that Tang Hao had departed, his disappointment led him to propose becoming sworn siblings with her. Tang Xuan later imposed weighted physical training and supplied medicinal pills, helping Tang San build a stronger body before entering Shrek Academy 12 13 21 23 34.

Appearance

• Childhood: Neat, short black hair, a clean-cut face, and faded pale-blue clothing reflecting his family’s limited means 1.
• Arrival in Suotuo City: Approximately 1.75 metres tall, wearing a fitted light-blue outfit. His features are handsome rather than breathtaking, with a composed manner and an unusually attractive presence 32.
• After bloodline awakening: Taller, more strongly built, and substantially more handsome; he attributes the change to his martial soul’s second awakening 99 115.
• Divine form: Blue-and-gold armor covered in Blood Demon Markings, a blood-gold forehead rune replacing his former trident mark, and nine golden halos signifying his God King position 132.

Personality

Tang San is disciplined, technically minded, and deeply devoted to the Tang Sect. He refuses Tang Xuan’s offer to switch cultivation methods because the Tang Sect Secret Arts require the Mysterious Heaven Skill as their foundation. His persistence in physical training also exceeds Xiao Wu’s, and he regards Tang Xuan as a standard to pursue rather than someone he expects easily to surpass 1 18 28.

His attachment to family is both a source of motivation and a vulnerability. Tang Xuan’s disappearance turns grief into obsessive cultivation, violent fighting, and near qi deviation. After his brother returns, Tang San immediately acknowledges his mistake and resolves to train harder without obstructing Tang Xuan’s travels 48 58 59.

He is protective and willing to take responsibility: he insists on confronting the Tai family rather than allowing them to keep blocking Shrek Academy’s entrance. With Xiao Wu, however, his emotional perception initially lags behind his combat judgment; he repeatedly describes her as merely his younger sister despite her obvious affection 34 73.

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass / Blue Silver Emperor

His primary martial soul supports restraint, battlefield control, and coordinated attacks. Soul-beast bloodline power, resonance with his mother’s bloodline, and Saint Origin Grass strengthen it before its full Blue Silver Emperor awakening 19 59 99.

• Entanglement: Binds opponents and can pull allies out of danger 13 19.
• Strangulation: A self-developed offensive variation of his first skill that tightens the bindings around a target 19.
• Medusa venom: Can seep through an opponent’s skin while they are restrained; it temporarily makes Tang Xuan dizzy during a spar 19.
• Parasitism: Reinforces his bindings as an opponent attempts to escape 19.
• Blue Silver Cage: His fourth soul skill creates restraints, though Tang Xuan escapes it through superior speed 79.
• Blue Silver Overlord Spear: His fifth soul skill supplies a weapon for close-range thrusts and spearwork 112.
• Limit: Even strengthened bindings can be broken by sufficiently powerful opponents, including Tang Xuan and Tang Hu 19 112.

Clear Sky Hammer

His second martial soul supplies overwhelming striking power. Saint Origin Grass increases its intrinsic weight to ten thousand jin, far above the five hundred jin cited for an ordinary Clear Sky Hammer 59 83.

• Uses the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, whose successive strikes build power 59 83.
• Breaks Feng Xiaotian’s final attack on his seventh hammer swing and destroys his wings 83.
• Serves as the core of Shrek’s Seven-in-One Fusion Skill because its exceptional quality can withstand the combined soul power 79 87.
• Initially requires further strength training: Tang San’s three-to-four-thousand-jin strength is insufficient to wield the newly enhanced hammer properly 59.
• Tang Xuan later identifies refining it into a super divine artifact as a future possibility, not an already completed achievement 146.

Tang Sect Secret Arts

His previous-life techniques remain central to his cultivation and combat 1 2.

• Mysterious Heaven Skill: The foundation needed for his Tang Sect Secret Arts 1.
• Mysterious Jade Hand: Helps neutralize force in close combat and lets him catch Feng Xiaotian’s wind blades 13 83.
• Purple Demon Eye: Recognizes Tang Xuan at a distance when others cannot; his eye technique also counters illusion-type soul skills 58 81.
• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track: Provides rapid movement, including his rush toward Tang Xuan on their reunion 58.
• Hidden-weapon forging: Can manufacture Tang Sect weapons using the materials available at home 2 3.
• Anatomical knowledge: Targets meridians, pressure points, and vital areas to defeat a higher-ranked opponent without hidden weapons 58.

One-Finger Heaven-Piercer

Tang Xuan personally transmits this finger technique to him. Among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San alone possesses soul power substantial enough to meet the full technique’s cultivation requirements 51 59.

• After more than a year of practice, its power rivals a sixth soul skill despite his mastery remaining below Tang Xuan’s 80.
• Knocks all seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy Team unconscious in a single tournament attack 80.

Team Coordination

• Directs Shrek’s spacing and regrouping against Tang Xuan’s superior speed 79.
• Uses Blue Silver Grass to swing Xiao Wu into the Meteor Human Hammer combination attack 19.
• Channels his teammates’ power through the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, overwhelming the New Divine Wind Team with the Clear Sky Hammer 87.

Dual Gods in One

Tang San inherits the Sea God and Asura God positions, with each martial soul bearing the power of one divine station. Tang Xuan considers his herb-transformed physique essential to making this dual inheritance possible 93 128 133.

• Initially attempts to combine the opposing powers too aggressively, endangering his body and divine power 130.
• Learns to harmonize them through Tang Xuan’s intervention and teaching about yin and yang 130.
• After fusion, can use both powers together and switch freely between them 133 136.
• Overpowers the Evil God, Demon God, and God of Darkness despite having only recently become a god 133.
• His early divine combat still falls short of unleashing the Asura God position’s full strength 136.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges — A belt-shaped soul tool given to him by Grandmaster and named by Tang San 9.
• Eight Spider Lances / Eight Spider Soul Bone — An external soul bone strengthened by Saint Origin Grass. Tai Tan’s rank-seventy-five pressure cracks it during their wager 59 73.
• Holy Illusion Demon Ape Soul Bone — An eighty-thousand-year soul bone reserved for him by Tang Xuan; the provided passage shows it being given to him for later absorption 92.
• Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud — Entrusted to him by Tang Xuan for the journey to Sea God Island 115.
• Sea God Trident — A super divine artifact associated with his Sea God inheritance 128 146.
• Asura Demon Sword — Enters his body when he becomes the Asura God’s successor; later accompanies him as a super divine artifact 105 132.
• Asura Tower — A defensive super divine artifact given to him before Tang Xuan’s departure. It contains an Asura Sword Formation capable of trapping and killing those drawn inside 146.

Relationships

• Tang Xuan — Elder twin brother, training mentor, and closest familial support. Supplies techniques, herbs, equipment, and opportunities for divine inheritance; their separation ends in reunion after more than ten thousand years 1 59 105 146 147.
• Tang Hao — Father. His departure deeply disappoints Tang San; they later fight alongside one another as gods 13 132 133.
• Ah Yin — Mother and source of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. She openly hopes for a daughter-in-law and grandchildren 59 92.
• Xiao Wu — Childhood companion, sworn younger sister, and later acknowledged sweetheart. Tang San protects her, trains with her, and initially misunderstands her romantic feelings 13 19 34 92.
• Grandmaster / Yu Xiaogang — Teacher who determines his control-system path and worries over his dangerous obsession. Regards both brothers as his own children 8 9 58 132.
• Tang Chen — Great-grandfather, whom Tang San admires for reaching rank ninety-nine through his own cultivation. Explains the difficulty and value of divine inheritance 105.
• Dugu Bo — Knows him as “Little Monster” and learns about Tang Xuan through their conversations 72.
• Shrek teammates — Combat partners and close friends who support him during his grief and contribute to his fusion attacks 58 79 87.
• Hu Liena — Partner during Slaughter City. Upon leaving, Tang San rejects any continued friendship, declaring that they can only be enemies outside the city 102.
• Sea God and Asura God — Predecessors who guide his dual inheritance and remain with him during its critical stage 128 130.
• Tang Wulin — Son; Tang San reassures him that Tang Xuan will not harm Lan Xuanyu 147.
• Lan Xuanyu — Grandson. During the final reunion, Tang San entrusts his berserk grandson to Tang Xuan 147.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Tang Xuan’s Disappearance and Return

After the Star Dou Great Forest incident, Tang San shuts himself inside Tang Xuan’s room and leaves food untouched. He eventually resumes ordinary activities, but his apparent recovery conceals resentment toward the Titan Giant Ape and an obsession with becoming stronger 47 48.

By Tang Xuan’s return, his cultivation has advanced rapidly, but his temperament and internal condition are dangerously unstable. Tang Xuan calms his aura, warns him about qi deviation, and gives him Saint Origin Grass. Tang San then promises to work twice as hard during his brother’s next absence 58 59.

Soul Master Tournament

Tang San vows to win the championship and make a name for Shrek. He and Dai Mubai defeat the Heaven Dou Second Team in one minute, while One-Finger Heaven-Piercer secures victory against the Elephant Armor Team 76 80.

His match against Feng Xiaotian publicly reveals his twin martial souls. Later, Shrek’s Seven-in-One Fusion Skill empowers his Clear Sky Hammer enough to defeat the New Divine Wind Team and advance to the final; Tang Hao warns him to withdraw his attack before it goes too far 83 87.

Slaughter City and Divine Succession

Tang San clears Slaughter City, where he cooperates with Hu Liena under the name Tang Yin. Outside the city, he firmly ends their association 102 105.

Although he initially offers the Asura inheritance to his stronger brother, Tang Xuan has already declined it and recommended him. The Asura Demon Sword selects Tang San, and the brothers subsequently leave for Heaven Dou City so he can manage the Tang Sect 105.

Sea God Island and the God War

After the Shrek reunion, Tang San receives the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and travels toward Sea God Island with his companions. His cultivation advances through the island’s trials to Titled Douluo and ultimately dual divine inheritance 115 119 123 130.

Once his two powers are harmonized, he joins Tang Hao against the five opposing gods. Tang Xuan’s return and restoration of the damaged continent allow Tang San to fight without fear of destroying it 132 133 138.

Divine Realm and Final Reunion

Tang Xuan advises him to explore a realm beyond God King by condensing a divine position of his own and eventually passing the Sea God and Asura God positions to others. Before departing the world, Tang Xuan gives him the Asura Tower, and Tang San promises to forge his own path 140 146.

More than ten thousand years later, Tang Xuan returns during the crisis involving the berserk Lan Xuanyu. Tang San immediately entrusts the situation to his brother and reassures Tang Wulin that Xuanyu will not be harmed 147.
