Tang San is the main protagonist of the "Soul Land" (Douluo Dalu) Series. He was a former young prodigy and an outer sect disciple of the renowned Tang Sect who successfully learnt the Tang Sect's core skills which was ostracized and not allowed to the outer sect disciples despite the fact that none of the core disciples were able to. Following his death, he was reborn while maintaining his past memories as the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Clan, and Blue Silver Empress 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 very calm and serene personality. He is good-willed, thoughtful of others, and completely selfless towards close friends. He habitually calculates his options before taking action. As a person of two lives, since childhood, he possessed the maturity of an adult. His thirst for knowledge is astounding as in his previous life, and that thirst for knowledge was the reason he committed suicide. He deeply loves his parents and has a deep regard for his friends, especially Xiao Wu. He would selflessly put himself in front of danger to help his precious ones. Tang San is shown to be an intellectual and cool-headed person in combat, carefully calculating the chances of events during the battle and even sometimes after the battle. He rarely comes unprepared into a fight.

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 oppose him dead or imbecile if they're considered as enemies who can no longer be reconciled with (by Tang San's standards). 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.

After becoming a father, he seems to like spoiling his daughter, but is shown to be much more stern with his son. Due to the restrictions of the God Realm, he cannot help them directly, but he provides as many benefits to them as he can. 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

Suicide

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.
