Background / History

Childhood in Holy Soul Village

Tang Xiaosan retains memories of a previous life in which she was an orphan and received little affection within her sect. In her current life, Tang Hao makes her responsible for the household from the age of four. She repeatedly hopes that working harder will earn his approval, but remains neglected and abused 13 14.

Her diet is severely inadequate: Tang Hao eats the rice while leaving her the cooking water, claiming it benefits children. She initially accepts this explanation as evidence of his care. By the time she enters Nuoding Academy, she is notably thin and short 3 12.

Su Ling regularly interrupts her cultivation and brings other village children to challenge her. Although she finds his behavior troublesome, she later describes these encounters as her first experience of childhood across both lives 1 8 14.

Awakening and Academy Admission

During Su Yuntao’s awakening ceremony, Tang Xiaosan reveals Blue Silver Grass but hides the second martial soul in her left hand. Her innate full Soul Power surprises Su Yuntao, who had assumed Blue Silver Grass could not possess innate Soul Power 1.

She subsequently loses a spar to Su Ling when his seemingly ordinary stone martial soul proves too heavy for her to deflect. After recovering her composure, she requests another match once she obtains a Soul Ring 2.

Old Jack escorts both children to Nuoding Academy. When the gatekeeper accuses her of forging her awakening certificate, Su Ling vouches for her and secures her admission. His intervention gives her a rare experience of being protected 7 8.

Yu Xiaogang approaches her because he suspects she has twin martial souls. Su Ling challenges his theoretical authority, and Tang Xiaosan loses her initial trust in him rather than becoming his disciple 8 9.

Dorm Seven and the Cave Incident

Tang Xiaosan defeats Wang Sheng through evasive footwork, endurance, and redirection of his attacks. He acknowledges her and Su Ling as Dorm Seven’s new bosses, but Xiao Wu soon claims the position after her contest with Su Ling 10 11.

Xiao Wu’s closeness to Su Ling triggers intense jealousy. Tang Xiaosan later incapacitates him with a paralyzing Sleeve Arrow, carries him to a cave, and binds him. When she believes he has rejected her, she threatens suicide with a lethally poisoned arrow 12 13.

Ah Yin intervenes and reveals herself as Tang Xiaosan’s mother. During their reunion, Tang Xiaosan describes Tang Hao’s abuse and her longing for an ordinary childhood. Ah Yin orders her to release Su Ling, forbids further attacks, and insists that she live. Tang Xiaosan complies before fainting from exhausted Soul Power and emotional strain 13 14.

The reunion is watched through Su Ling’s broadcast. Her experiences move Qian Renxue and prompt Bibi Dong to reconsider her treatment of her own daughter 14.

Soul Bones and Summer Vacation

Su Ling obtains Tang Hao’s six Soul Bones and initially offers them all to Tang Xiaosan. She tries to reserve the two oldest for him. He ultimately gives her those two inherited Clear Sky Sect bones and keeps the four younger ones to sell 18 19 20.

Determined to grow strong enough to protect Su Ling, she attempts to absorb a powerful Soul Bone before obtaining her first Soul Ring. The fusion nearly kills her, but Ah Yin and Su Ling sustain her while she endures the process to completion 19 20.

For summer vacation, she leaves for the Star Dou Great Forest with Xiao Wu and a protective clone of Ah Yin, despite wanting to accompany Su Ling to Heaven Dou City. Su Ling also obtains a Heaven Dou Royal Academy recommendation letter for her; her enrollment is not shown 20 21.

Return in the Star Luo Empire

Tang Xiaosan reunites with Su Ling in the Star Luo Imperial Palace after her martial soul evolves into Blue Silver Emperor. She is pleased to see him but privately alarmed by how many companions have gathered around him during their separation. She and Ah Yin agree to present a united front 50.

At the imperial banquet, she remains absorbed in her food until Dai Xingyue’s proposal draws her attention 57. Later, Tang Hao appeals to “Little San” to return to him, claiming that he wants to rebuild their family; her response is not provided 68.

Appearance

• Early appearance: Small, frail, and underdeveloped, with lingering baby fat, a petite nose, and features closely resembling Ah Yin’s 12 13.
• Distinguishing features: Two small canine teeth visible when she smiles; a normally soft, sweet voice 10 11.
• After her martial soul evolution: Almost as tall as Su Ling, with sea-blue hair falling to her waist 50.

Personality

Tang Xiaosan is initially reserved around strangers, sometimes hiding behind Su Ling when others stare at her. In combat, however, she is confident and independent: she chooses to face Wang Sheng herself rather than rely on Su Ling’s protection 9 10.

Her neglected upbringing leaves her intensely sensitive to kindness and fearful of abandonment. Su Ling’s protection and willingness to share food quickly become emotionally important to her. Her attachment escalates into possessiveness, jealousy, abduction, and a suicide threat when she believes Xiao Wu has displaced her 8 12 13 18.

She also shows generosity and determination. She offers Su Ling the best Soul Bones available to her and resolves to become strong enough to protect him. That urgency makes her reckless, leading her to attempt a fusion her body cannot safely withstand without help 18 19 20.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

• Blue Silver Grass: Her publicly revealed martial soul; awakens with innate full Soul Power 1.
• Concealed hammer: Her second martial soul, kept hidden in her left hand 1 3.
• Blue Silver Emperor: The evolved form of her plant martial soul by her reunion with Su Ling 50.
• Resonance: Senses a familiar, dependence-inducing aura from Su Ling while he uses Ah Yin’s power. She initially interprets it as proof that they are destined for one another 11 13.

Mysterious Heaven Skill

• Practices cultivation regularly, including repeated attempts to overcome a barrier she cannot yet break through 7.
• Grants substantially greater staying power than Wang Sheng during their fight 10.
• Enables her to carry Su Ling out of the academy, though the effort ultimately exhausts her Soul Power 14.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track

• Uses elusive footwork to evade Wang Sheng until his attacks and stamina deteriorate 10.
• Possesses exceptionally high proficiency, although her low Soul Power limits the technique to an introductory stage 10.

Hand Techniques and Redirection

• Uses Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to try to disperse the force of Su Ling’s thrown martial soul; its weight exceeds what her body can withstand 2.
• Defeats Wang Sheng by exploiting his momentum, tripping him, and turning his strength against him 10.

Hidden Weapons and Poison

• Throws pebbles quickly enough to strike Ah Yin in the eye after detecting her nearby 7.
• Extracts a paralyzing poison from snake-type Soul Beasts and applies it to her Sleeve Arrow 12.
• Uses her Sleeve Arrow precisely enough to sever Su Ling’s bindings 14.

Spiritual Power

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sleeve Arrow — Concealed projectile weapon used with paralyzing or lethal poison and for cutting ropes 12 13 14.

• Heaven Dou Royal Academy recommendation letter — Obtained for her by Su Ling through Su Yuntao 21.

Relationships

• Su Ling — Childhood acquaintance and romantic attachment. His kindness earns her trust, while her fear of losing him initially drives dangerous possessiveness. She later accepts being with him despite his warning that he may have many wives 8 12 13 18.
• Ah Yin — Mother and bloodline mentor. Stops her suicide attempt, hears her account of abuse, and arranges her future cultivation path 13 14 15.
• Tang Hao — Abusive father. Tang Xiaosan eventually rejects his surname and suggests taking her mother’s surname instead 14 19.
• Xiao Wu — Roommate, romantic rival, and later companion. Their hostility softens enough for Xiao Wu to help rescue her during Soul Bone fusion and accompany her to the forest 11 20.
• Old Jack — Village elder who arranges her work-study admission and escorts her to Nuoding Academy 7.
• Wang Sheng — Dormitory senior whom she defeats to gain leadership recognition 9 10.
• Yu Xiaogang — Would-be mentor whose claims she ceases to trust after Su Ling challenges him 8 9.

Trivia

• Su Ling gets her name wrong for six years and assumes she is a boy until the academy admission incident exposes his mistake 7 8.
• Her proposed adoption of “Ah” as a surname prompts Xiao Wu to laugh at the resulting name. No formal name change is confirmed 19.
