Background / History

Jia Nan Academy

Zi Yan lived in Jia Nan Academy's back mountain from childhood and became a student ranked first on the Inner Academy Strong Ranking, earning the title “Brute Force King.” 145 174 Though she appeared to be a young human girl, she was an Ancient Void Dragon who had accidentally consumed Humanoid Transformation Grass, leaving her unable to assume her true form at the time. 145

While seeking Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, Zi Yan fought the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape. She could evade it with her spatial talent, but provoked it into a berserk state and was captured. 145 Dai Changsheng killed the ape and rescued her, then compensated her share of the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk with candy-flavored Beast Raising Pills. 146

Zi Yan agreed to help Dai Changsheng locate spiritual herbs and treasures in exchange for an ongoing supply of Beast Raising Pills, becoming his treasure-seeking companion. 146

Return to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan

Dai Changsheng brought Zi Yan to the Beast Region to locate the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Elder Hei Qing and Third Elder Zhu Li recognized her exceptionally noble bloodline and received her on Ancient Dragon Island. 173

Zi Yan subsequently learned that her father was Zhu Kun, the missing Dragon Emperor, who had been trapped beneath Jia Nan Academy's magma sea in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion. Their reunion confirmed her identity as the Dragon Emperor's daughter. 174

Zhu Kun taught Zi Yan the Dragon Emperor Technique and Heaven Tier Dou Techniques suited to the Dragon Emperor lineage. With clan resources and Dai Changsheng's Beast Raising Pills, she rapidly advanced from peak Dou Huang to peak Dou Zong. 175 Zhu Kun ultimately accepted Dai Changsheng taking Zi Yan with him after she reached Dou Zun, entrusting her care to him. 176

Appearance

Zi Yan usually appears as a delicate young girl with twin purple ponytails and a white dress. 145 In her true form, she becomes a violet-gold Ancient Void Dragon covered in scales; her draconic body grows larger as her cultivation rises. 175 182

• Purple Dou Qi wings manifest in human form at Dou King level or above. 159
• Her true form was dozens of meters long after returning to Ancient Dragon Island. 175
• She later transformed into an Ancient Void Dragon nearly one hundred meters long to absorb the Blood Pool. 182

Personality

Zi Yan is mischievous, fearless, and prone to taunting stronger opponents, as shown when she repeatedly called the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape a “stinking monkey” despite being unable to defeat it in human form. 145 She is also straightforward and trusting, readily accepting Dai Changsheng's partnership after tasting his Beast Raising Pills. 146

Her appetite strongly influences her decisions: she prefers Beast Raising Pills to foul-tasting medicinal herbs and initially followed Dai Changsheng primarily for their taste and energy. 146 158 Despite her strength, she makes friends based on personal feeling rather than cultivation level, allowing her to quickly befriend Nalan Yanran. 159

Abilities & Skills

Ancient Void Dragon Bloodline

Zi Yan possesses the direct royal bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan as Zhu Kun's daughter. Given sufficient resources, her bloodline guarantees eventual advancement to Dou Sheng without cultivation bottlenecks before that realm. 158 175

• Her natural physical strength earned her the “Brute Force King” title at Jia Nan Academy. 145
• Her true form is stronger than her human form; as a fifth-rank Ancient Void Dragon, she would have surpassed the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape in direct combat. 145
• She regained the ability to freely switch between human and dragon forms after reaching Dou Zong and fully digesting the Humanoid Transformation Grass. 175

Spatial Talent

Ancient Void Dragons possess exceptional innate spatial talent, and Zi Yan can use simple spatial power even at lower cultivation. 145

• She could repeatedly evade the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape despite being unable to defeat it. 145
• Her spatial mobility was insufficient once the ape entered a berserk state and caught her before she could flee. 145

Zi Yan has an innate ability to detect valuable materials, spiritual herbs, and hidden treasures. 146 167

• Located Earth Core Body Tempering Milk by scent. 146
• Found more than a dozen underpriced treasures at Jia Ma Holy City's street stalls in less than half an hour. 158
• Helped Dai Changsheng's group acquire rare seventh- and eighth-grade spirit herbs in Luoshen Ravine and the Barren Ancient Region. 167 182
• Powerful guardian magical beasts often protect the treasures she finds, making Dai Changsheng's protection necessary during dangerous expeditions. 182

Dragon Emperor Technique

Zi Yan cultivates the Dragon Emperor Technique, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's high-tier Heaven Tier inherited cultivation method for those with the Dragon Emperor bloodline. 175

• Learned from Zhu Kun after returning to her clan. 175
• Increases her efficiency at refining Heavenly Materials, Earthly Treasures, and Beast Raising Pills by dozens of times. 175
• Allows her to refine an eighth-tier Beast Raising Pill in two or three days. 175
