Tang San is the main protagonist of the "Soul Land" (Douluo Dalu) Series. He was a former young prodigy of the renowned Tang Sect who was ostracized and not permitted to learn Tang Men's core skills despite the fact that none of the Tang Men core disciples were able to master the core skills. Following his death, he was reborn while maintaining his past memories as the son of the Titled Douluo, Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Clan, and Blue Silver Empress Spirit Beast Ah Yin.
Appearance
He used to have long, brown hair tied into a ponytail and brown eyes, but after he "died" and became a child, he has short, black short hair and dark blue eyes that can turn purple-紫极魔瞳.
After growing up, Tang San's dark hair has lightened to blue, thanks to his Blue Silver Emperor abilities awakening. His hair is much longer, and he wears it tied back in a low ponytail, with bangs framing a neat, handsome face. He's tall and dresses well. He's always seen wearing his storage belt, the Twenty Four Moonlight Bridges.
Personality
Tang San possesses a calm but ruthless personality. He is an absolute hypocrite and treat his friends based on their value or how they can benefit him. He habitually make his decision based on his previous life Tang Sect Code and apply to his action. Due to being raised by a sect that lives off of killing, his values are old fashioned and rigid making him an odity amongst his age group during his early years. It was his previous life knowledge that he managed to not only survive but thrive dispite his father neglect and ignorance of child care.
His previous life Tang Sect teachings make him believe that loving his parents is required for the child, the few selfish and deviant belief that goes against Tang Sect teachings is his undying love for Xiao Wu. His deep love is reflected by how he would only selflessly put himself in front of danger to help Xiao Wu and his parents where for others feidems and benefactors he would only promise revenge for them. Tang San is shown to be an intellectual and cool-headed person in combat until Xiao Wu got hurt and he would lose all reason to the point of even further endangering Xiao Wu. He has a habit carefully calculating what is beneficial to him only and doesn't like to repay others good will.
He harbors a dark egoistic personality from his experience in first life in Tang Sect. This dark side is expressed as he eliminates, dissipates, or renders those who slighted him even just abit dead or if they're considered as enemies who can no longer be reconciled with (by Tang San double standard judgement). We see part of this out-of-character moment when he confronts Huo Yuhao in the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley and tears him into shreds several times, testing to see if he was worthy for his daughter even though it was him who planned and manipulated everything to make Hou Yuhao fall in love with his daughter.
After becoming a father, he seems to like spoiling his daughter, but is shown to be much more stern with his son as he believe that sons are more ambitious and is afraid that his son might kill him to take his God position. Due to the restrictions of the God Realm, he had to help them sneakily though sometimes he just outright ignore them with excuses that even children wouldn't believe. He coddles his daughter with affection and presents to her many opportunities for training. For his son, he couldn't leave much, but played a major role in mentoring him on the usages and cautions of his Golden Dragon King powers, and then protecting him through the Seagod Trident.
History
Prior to his rebirth in Soul Land (Douluo Dalu), he was a member of the Outer Sect of the Tang Sect. Tang Sect was a school of assassins who specialized in Poisons and Hidden Weapon. Among the Tang Sect Outer Sect disciples, he was the third most senior and therefore came to be known as Tang San. Even among them, he was considered a genius not seen in two hundred years. Wanting to know the secrets of the Tang Sect that was only taught only to the Inner Sect disciples, he broke into their sacred place stealing the knowledge. Having read and mastered its contents, knowing he committed a crime, he committed suicide by jumping off the Hell's Peak
Upon his birth in Soul Land, (Douluo Dalu) he realized that he retained his memories from his previous life. Coincidentally he was named Tang San. He was raised by his father Tang Hao who was an alcoholic and a blacksmith, he was a spirit master too (Douluo) in the village of the Holy Spirit.
