Background / History

Jiang Qingtong and Jiang Shengyu awakened in Mingde Hall under Xuan Ziwen's care. After revealing her Imprint Soul Skill, she and Jiang Shengyu accepted Kong Deming as their teacher. Kong Deming promised to guide them toward the Titled Douluo realm and provide Rank Nine Soul Tools. 2

Her early reserve was encouraged by Jiang Shengyu, who wanted to avoid drawing suspicion to their unusual circumstances. Over time, his Heart Separation Control helped her become more outgoing. 2 4

While travelling toward Shrek Academy, she found the unconscious Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest and imprinted his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul. She later imprinted Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix after defending herself from Ma Xiaotao's loss of control. 4 17 41

At Shrek Academy, she was admitted to the Martial Soul Department after demonstrating Mirror Flower and Mental Detection Sharing before the Sea God Pavilion elders. Despite their political reservations over her Sun Moon Empire background, Mu En approved her admission. 9

Destiny later revealed that Jiang Qingtong and Jiang Shengyu are two personalities sharing one soul. 148

Personality

Jiang Qingtong is calm under pressure and habitually conceals her true strength, intentions, and available Martial Souls. She can perform gratitude, fear, or innocence convincingly when it advances her plans, including during her dealings with Shrek Academy and Sea God Island. 39 69 341

She is protective of people she considers her own, particularly Jiang Shengyu, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Jiang Feixin. She also has a compassionate streak: she chose to distribute expensive tonics to impoverished people rather than keep them. 41 72 147 234

Her diplomacy can become coercive when necessary. She forced Ju Zi into cooperation by making her believe refusal would result in immediate death. 260
