Background / History

Arrival and Early Servitude

Tang Wulin passes through a spacetime storm alongside Xu Jingyao, arriving in the era of the Peerless Tang Sect rather than the Legend of the Dragon King era Xu Jingyao expected. Xu Tianran finds both children and brings them into his household 1.

Unlike Xu Jingyao, who receives noble status, Tang Wulin is handed to one of Xu Tianran’s subordinates and assigned the code name 50. Xu Jingyao later takes him into his service and gives him the name Tang Wulin again. Raised beside Xu Jingyao as something like a study companion, he holds a comparatively low position in the Crown Prince’s Residence 1 4.

Xu Jingyao initially considers killing him because he is Tang San’s son, but cannot bring himself to do so. Instead, he secretly intends to cultivate Tang Wulin into someone who will destroy Tang San’s possessions and achievements 4.

Awakening and Service at the Carefree King’s Residence

Using Xu Jingyao’s token to bypass the queue, Tang Wulin attends the servants’ martial soul awakening. He returns delighted with his Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul and innate level-six soul power. Xu Jingyao permits him to pursue cultivation but directs him to Xu Tianran for instruction, prompting a frightened refusal 3 4.

After Xu Jingyao receives his new residence, Tang Wulin is tasked with arranging the household’s move. During a subsequent assassination attempt, he rushes to his master’s room carrying a broken table leg, only to discover that the attackers have already been killed. Xu Jingyao sends him back to bed and orders him to arrange repairs to the window 5 7.

Upon reaching rank ten, Tang Wulin asks for help against the presence within him that calls itself Old Tang. Xu Jingyao temporarily suppresses it with silver divine power and reinforces the chains inside Tang Wulin’s divine soul 10.

Mingdu’s Underground Factions

Following the six-year time skip, Tang Wulin accompanies Xu Jingyao to an underground Soul Master match. Disturbed by the bloodshed, he questions the contest’s brutality. Xu Jingyao later warns him against speaking out of turn around Mingdu’s underground leaders and tells him to avoid the Xishui Alliance’s Evil Soul Masters 11 12.

When Evil Soul Masters attack Ye Guyi, Tang Wulin clenches his fists but does not intervene without Xu Jingyao’s permission. After her rescue, he is assigned to escort her for wound treatment and arrange accommodation 12 14.

Before departing for the Original Three Kingdoms, Xu Jingyao leaves Tang Wulin in Xu Tianran’s care and reiterates that he must not be allowed outside alone 15.

Appearance

• Black hair: Described as a black-haired child during his first on-page appearance 3.
• Eyes resembling Tang Wutong’s: Xu Jingyao notices the resemblance when observing Wang Dong, Tang Wutong’s assumed identity 24 25.
• Timid expression: His upbringing as a servant leaves a noticeable timidity in his eyes, contrasting with Tang Wutong’s high spirits 24.

Personality

Tang Wulin is eager to cultivate, becoming visibly excited both by his awakening results and the prospect of a soul beast hunt. His enthusiasm gives way to pronounced fear around Xu Tianran: he pales, stammers, and insists that he has seen nothing when questioned. Xu Jingyao suspects that he witnessed the disposal of other imperial princes, but Tang Wulin never confirms this 3 4 10.

He shows concern for others despite his strict obedience. He objects to the underground arena’s bloodshed, worries about Xu Jingyao’s unhealthy drink choices, and rushes to protect him after sensing soul power fluctuations. Nevertheless, he waits for orders even while watching Ye Guyi face mortal danger. He also displays slight jealousy when Xu Jingyao treats her warmly 7 10 11 12 14.

Abilities & Skills

Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul

• Awakens with innate level-six soul power 4.
• Surprises Xu Jingyao, who had expected Tang Wulin to possess the Blue Silver Emperor rather than a Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul 4.

Movement Techniques

• Flash Step: Uses the technique to appear before Xu Jingyao while reporting Kong Deming’s arrival 5.
• Teleportation: Xu Jingyao explicitly considers his teleportation useful when bringing him along to meet Mingdu’s underground factions 12.

Golden Dragon King Bloodline

Soul Power Perception

• Detects the soul power fluctuations from the attack on Xu Jingyao’s bedroom, although he arrives after the fighting has ended 7.

Relationships

• Xu Jingyao — Master, childhood companion, and protector. He supports Tang Wulin’s cultivation and suppresses Old Tang, while secretly planning to use Tang San’s son against his father. His personal affection is also evident when he buys candied sour plums to bring home for Tang Wulin 1 4 10 34.
• Xu Tianran — The prince who takes him in after his arrival, but also a source of intense fear. Before Xu Jingyao’s journey, Xu Tianran threatens to kill Tang Wulin if Xu Jingyao dies abroad 1 4 15.
• Tang San — His father. This connection makes Tang Wulin central to Xu Jingyao’s intended revenge against Tang San 4.
• Old Tang — A presence within him that Tang Wulin calls an “evil thing.” Xu Jingyao fears it could persuade Tang Wulin to return to Tang San’s side; its suppression is temporary rather than a confirmed removal 4 10.
• Ye Guyi — A newcomer whom he escorts after her rescue. He is tasked with arranging her treatment and lodging, then shows slight jealousy over Xu Jingyao’s attention to her 14.

Restrictions and Vulnerabilities

• Restricted travel: Xu Jingyao forbids him from going out alone or riding in soul guidance cars, fearing that his tendency to encounter Evil Soul Masters may persist in this era 5.
• Limited political protection: Xu Jingyao worries that Tang Wulin’s service to him will not guarantee safety from the Holy Spirit Cult, since Tang Wulin is not a member of the Xu imperial family 5.
• Dependence on suppression: Tang Wulin relies on Xu Jingyao to restrain Old Tang through divine power and reinforced chains within his divine soul 10.
