Background & History

Sacred Soul Village

Tang San was reborn with memories and techniques from his former life as a Tang Sect disciple. At age five, he secretly trained beneath a waterfall near Sacred Soul Village while his Dual Martial Souls remained unawakened. His initial recorded attributes included Tang Sect Traitor, Dual Martial Souls, Child God King, and Child of Destiny. 55

Lin Feng secretly altered Tang San’s attributes, replacing Extreme Confidence with Love of Beauty. The change made Tang San preoccupied with cleanliness, bathing, flowers, and decorative clothing. 56

Tang Hao’s alcoholism and abuse drove Tang San into open resentment. Tang San attempted to poison his father, but the attempt failed; Tang Hao discovered the attack and beat him severely. Tang San vowed to repay the humiliation. 60 67

Disciple of “Yao Lao”

While recovering at the waterfall, Tang San encountered Lin Feng’s divine-soul disguise, which presented itself as the ancient expert “Yao Lao.” Believing the story that Yao Lao was a soul sealed beneath the pool, Tang San begged to become his disciple and swore to free him one day. 68

“Yao Lao” revealed that Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo. Tang San subsequently trusted him with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, Purple Demon Eyes, and other Tang Sect techniques. 68 69

After Tang San awakened his Martial Souls, “Yao Lao” provided a Death God Flower through the pool. Tang San later killed Tang Hao and secretly buried the body before leaving Sacred Soul Village. 128 129

Nuoding Academy and Expulsion

Old Jack helped Tang San enroll at Nuoding Academy. Yu Xiaogang deduced that Tang San possessed Dual Martial Souls and offered to teach him; Tang San agreed to learn from him but refused to formally acknowledge him as a master. 129

After witnessing Monster Academy’s students at the Elite Tournament, Tang San concluded that Yu Xiaogang could no longer advance his strength. He murdered Yu Xiaogang to eliminate someone who knew of his Dual Martial Souls and Clear Sky Sect connection. 138 139

Tang San then sought admission to Monster Academy. Lin Xue’s hypnosis exposed his murder of Yu Xiaogang, after which Liu Erlong expelled him from the academy. 139

Final Pursuit and Death

Tang San later discovered that the Divine Dragon Sect was producing Tang Sect-style hidden weapons, including the Zhuge Crossbow. Realizing Lin Feng was behind the sect, he fled the city using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. 153 154

Lin Feng had already ordered his assassination. Lin Hu'er, a Soul Sage, intercepted Tang San outside the city, pierced him with a tiger claw, and burned his body to ash. 153 154

Appearance

As a young child, Tang San was described as ordinary-looking and thin. 55 Following the alteration of his Love of Beauty attribute, he adopted increasingly conspicuous personal grooming and clothing. 56 60

• Wore a white cloth shirt with carefully combed-back hair secured by a flower wreath. 60
• Favored floral decorations, including a flower crown and later a pink flower in his hair. 56 127
• Was seen wearing patterned or floral shorts. 60 127

Personality

Tang San was intensely ambitious and fixated on gaining the strength needed to control his own future. His desire for power led him to seek out “Yao Lao,” disclose his former-life techniques, and pursue stronger mentors when Yu Xiaogang no longer met his expectations. 68 69 138

His relationship with Tang Hao fostered deep resentment and a willingness to kill perceived threats. He attempted patricide more than once, killed Yu Xiaogang because of the secrets he knew, and viewed eliminating dangers as consistent with Tang Sect rules. 60 67 129 139

Despite this ruthlessness, Tang San showed genuine devotion toward “Yao Lao,” whom he believed to be his sole trustworthy master. He repeatedly vowed to free and revive him. 68 129
