Background / History

Tang San is a transmigrator and a former Tang Sect disciple. His knowledge of Tang Sect techniques and Hidden Weapons gives him combat methods uncommon among ordinary Soul Masters. 139 262

He is the son of Tang Hao and Ah Yin. Tang Xiao later reveals that Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast who sacrificed herself to save Tang Hao, an event tied to the Clear Sky Sect's withdrawal from the outside world. 138

Tang San initially believed his first Martial Soul to be ordinary Blue Silver Grass. After revealing his Clear Sky Hammer, Mu Chen tells him that his apparent first Martial Soul may not truly be what he believes, leaving Tang San uncertain about his own inheritance. 111

Personality

Tang San is calculating and battle-focused, using Blue Silver Grass to direct allies, read the flow of combat, and create openings for his techniques and Hidden Weapons. His adult mentality and determination to pursue stronger opponents are noted early in his time at Shrek Academy. 68 75

He is fiercely protective of those close to him, particularly Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang. Xiao Wu's injury drives him into a furious assault on Mu Chen, while his refusal to kill Yu Xiaogang in the Hell Slaughter Arena shows the depth of his loyalty to his teacher. 75 261

His persistence can become self-destructive. He refuses to surrender even after Mu Chen dismantles his team and severs his Eight Spider Lances, later vowing to grow stronger after the defeat. 233 245

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy and First Defeat

Tang San joins forces with Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong against Mu Chen.

Mu Chen ultimately defeats him and reflects Tang San's Dragon Whisker Needles back onto him. 74 75 76

Twin Martial Souls and the Imperial Dou Team

Tang San reveals the Clear Sky Hammer as his second Martial Soul during the battle against the Imperial Dou Team. Using the hammer, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Eight Spider Lances, poison, and his teammates' support, he leads Shrek Academy to victory. 123 124

Return to the Clear Sky Sect

After Tang Hao is crippled and stripped of his soul bones, Tang San accompanies Tang Xiao to the Clear Sky Sect. Facing hostility over Tang Hao's past, he accepts the challenge of Tang Hu and wins despite a gap of more than twenty Soul Power levels. 132 141 142

Tang San then demonstrates his Hidden Weapons to the sect elders. The Mother-Child Life-Chasing Soul-Attracting Balls pierce Seventh Elder's defense, turning the elders' opinion in his favor and establishing the value of his inventions to the sect. 143 144

Soul Master Tournament

Tang San leads his team against Mu Chen's side but is overwhelmingly defeated. He refuses to surrender after his teammates are incapacitated, allowing Mu Chen to sever all of his Eight Spider Lances with Sword Qi. 232 233 234

Tang San enters the City of Slaughter to train for Divine Slaughter's Domain. There he encounters Mu Chen and Hu Liena, whose apparent cooperation with Spirit Hall leaves him alarmed. 257 258

Yu Xiaogang is forced into the Hell Slaughter Arena with Tang San. Rather than let Tang San kill him, Yu Xiaogang takes his own life; Tang San's grief drives his Martial Souls dark and turns him into an Evil Soul Master. 260 261

Mu Chen later confronts him, reveals that he is also a transmigrator, and kills Tang San by piercing his chest with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw. Mu Chen then burns Tang San's body. 262
