Jiang Wu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Previous Life and Adoptive Family

Jiang Wu is a transmigrator who read Douluo Continent and Peerless Tang Sect in his previous life. His recollections give him advance knowledge of characters and Soul Tools, but he does not remember every detail and still studies basic Martial Soul theory attentively 8 23 24 31.

Su Yuehua found him outside and brought him home; he is not her biological son. She raises him alongside Jiang Nannan in three mud-brick houses in Jiang Family Village, supporting the household by washing and mending clothes. Her heart condition keeps the family under financial pressure even after Jiang Nannan becomes a Soul Master 2 4 11.

Awakening and Dongxing City Academy

Jiang Nannan accompanies Jiang Wu to his awakening and arranges for her teacher, Cao Wei, to help obtain his First Soul Ring. His unexpectedly powerful first skill surprises both women, though he conceals the template responsible for it 1 2 3.

After enrolling at Dongxing City Academy, he defeats Wang Dong’er in Dormitory Seven’s leadership challenge. He subsequently works at Master Zhao’s smithy to pay for his mother’s medicine, keeping the job secret from Jiang Nannan because she would worry about him overworking 4 5 6 9.

Wang Dong’er becomes his constant companion and regularly visits his family during school breaks. In their second year together, she gives Su Yuehua a Black Tortoise Divine Pill that cures her heart condition, asking Jiang Wu to play with her every day in return 11.

Uncertain Origins and Secret Protection

Jiang Wu’s resemblance to Xiao Wu, Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, and manner of using Soft Skill draw the attention of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Niu Tian, and Tai Tan. Tang San attempts to examine his fate through the Divine Realm Core but finds it unreadable even with his God King cultivation 5 9.

After descending to the continent, Xiao Wu senses bloodline resonance with Jiang Wu and suspects a parent-child relationship. This remains a suspicion rather than confirmed parentage. Fearing that Tang San’s investigation would deprive Jiang Wu of control over his own future, Xiao Wu asks Niu Tian and Tai Tan to protect him secretly and occasionally supply resources 11 12.

Appearance

• Features: Handsome, delicate features with a distinctly masculine bearing. Wang Dong’er initially mistakes him for a girl 4 5 19.
• Resemblance to Xiao Wu: Particularly noticeable around his brows, eyes, and smile 5 9.
• Hair and clothing: Described with somewhat long hair and black clothes when Huo Yutong first sees him. During his poorer childhood, his clothes are repeatedly noted as washed pale 6 11 19.
• Martial Soul traits: Rabbit ears and a rabbit tail appear during his awakening 1.
• Dragon Transformation: Golden scales cover his right arm, and his hand can transform into a metallic-looking dragon claw 15.

Personality

Jiang Wu is practical and family-minded. He seeks paid work to cover Su Yuehua’s medicine, promises Jiang Nannan that he will ease her financial burdens, and hides his employment chiefly to spare her worry. He also takes his education seriously rather than assuming his previous-life knowledge is sufficient 4 6 8.

He is affectionate but sharp-tongued with friends. He reassures Wang Dong’er when she fears that her clinginess annoys him, yet frequently teases her and Gu Yue. His embarrassment over being called “Mom” gradually becomes resigned acceptance, although he continues objecting when others repeat it 8 11 31 32.

His generosity is selective rather than idealistic: he openly considers himself fond of food, beautiful women, and money, and says he prefers good deeds that do not impose heavily on him. Nevertheless, he protects bullied dormmates and defends Huo Yutong, giving her the Mystic Water Pill won from Xu Sanshi 10 11 29 30.

Against lethal enemies, he is decisive. He kills the Evil Soul Masters without hesitation, but remains realistic about his limitations, recognizing both Golden Dragon Claw’s Soul Power cost and the special circumstances that allowed him to knock out Ma Xiaotao 15 16 38 42.

Abilities & Skills

Mu-Version Comic Xiao Wu Template

A system-bound template that activates during Jiang Wu’s Martial Soul awakening and modifies his development 1.

• Upgrades his Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul to the same quality as Xiao Wu’s and grants Innate Full Soul Power 1.
• Instantly imparts foundational Soft Skill knowledge; Jiang Wu recognizes that this is not initially the complete technique 1.
• Enhances his first three acquired Soul Skills and unlocks additional techniques with his Third Soul Ring 3 13 17.

Soft Skill and Eight-Stage Throw

A close-combat discipline based on flexibility, waist-driven force, leverage, and attacks from difficult angles 5 39.

• Redirects an opponent’s momentum rather than relying solely on brute strength; Jiang Wu pins Wang Dong’er within two breaths while holding back 5.
• Allows evasive twists and immediate counters during his strength-suppressed spar with Ma Xiaotao 39.
• Can be taught: Jiang Nannan learns its basics from him over two months 4.
• Eight-Stage Throw unlocks with his Third Soul Ring. He combines it with teleportation and mental control to remove opponents from the arena 17 26 45.
• Defeats Dai Huabin using three stages. Named stages include Midair Robbery and Killing Spiral Throw and One-Thousand-Eighty-Degree Midair Spinning Brutal Killing Throw 46.

First Soul Skill: Bow Body Charging Beast Arrow

An enhanced form of Waist Bow that preserves the original skill’s enhancement effect while adding a projected attack 3.

• Channels Soul Power into his leg and releases an arrow that becomes a charging Purple Armor White Jade Rhinoceros phantom 3.
• Splinters a bucket-thick tree during its first demonstration; Cao Wei judges it stronger than many Third Soul Skills 3.
• Serves as a follow-up against opponents immobilized by Illusory Charm Eyes 14 26.

Second Soul Skill: Illusory Charm Eyes

A spiritual control skill that invades the opponent’s Sea of Consciousness with an illusion of charging Soul Beasts, consuming their mental power 13.

• Against weaker mental power: Lasts more than three seconds and reduces the stunned opponent’s defense by 30% 14.
• Against stronger mental power: Causes at least half a second of disorientation and interrupts a Soul Skill being charged 14.
• Growth: Control duration and illusion realism improve as Jiang Wu grows stronger 14.
• Limit: Powerful spiritual opponents can escape quickly; Ma Xiaotao breaks through it despite being caught off guard 16 35 39.
• Frequently opens his combinations, creating an opportunity for teleportation, Golden Dragon Claw, or throws 22 26 45 46.

Third Soul Skill: Instant Beast Flash

An enhanced Teleportation skill with an initial range of two hundred meters and an accompanying lightning-attribute kicking attack 17 18.

• Can place him anywhere within its range, including directly behind an opponent 26.
• Bypasses restraints, interrupts coordinated attacks, and lets him disengage from dangerous close-range combat 26 40 46.
• Its lightning kick snaps and chars a bucket-thick tree during testing 18.
• Both its range and overall strength can improve with his growth 18 23.

Golden Dragon King Bloodline

A second source of power governed by eighteen seals that break as Jiang Wu’s level increases 1.

• Physical strength: The first seal supplies enough power to knock Zhang Yu unconscious with only a fraction of Jiang Wu’s strength 11.
• Dragon Transformation: More of his body can transform whenever he breaks through a major realm. It can operate alongside Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul Possession 27 38.
• Golden Dragon Claw: Golden scales double his right arm’s strength; transforming the hand into a claw doubles that increased strength again. Its crushing property breaks through protective Soul Power, bones, and organs 15.
• Protection: His scales block the corrosive poison scattered when he tears apart an Evil Soul Master’s poison attack 15.
• Dragon might: Suppresses Xian Lin’er’s Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul; she considers it stronger than the might of any dragon-type Martial Soul she has encountered 27.
• Golden Dragon Body: Activated through his First Blood Essence Soul Ring, a golden ring formed from blood essence rather than Soul Power. He uses it during his interception of Ma Xiaotao 35 36.
• Limit: Golden Dragon Claw drains Soul Power rapidly. At level 21, sustained use nearly exhausts him 15 16.

His explanation that these powers belong to a dragon-type Second Martial Soul is partly fabricated. Gu Yuena instead recognizes the Golden Dragon King bloodline and concludes that he is the Golden Dragon King reincarnated; her conclusion is not independently established 36 38.

Mitu Shockwave

An additional technique unlocked with his Third Soul Ring 17.

• Produces pink rabbit-shaped attacks that he repeatedly launches while using Instant Beast Flash to keep his distance from Ma Xiaotao 40.
• Earns praise from Qian Duoduo after the spar 41.

Blacksmithing and Soul Tool Studies

• Blacksmithing: Learns ironworking quickly under Master Zhao. His initial strength demonstration earns him thirty Copper Soul Coins per day and two meals 6 9.
• Soul Tools: Studies under Xian Lin’er, beginning with a Class 1 Soul Power illumination sphere and books on fundamental construction principles 27.
• Planned tactic: Considers combining teleportation, a future Invincible Golden Body, and powerful Soul Tool bombs. This is a proposed build, not an ability he has already acquired 23.
