Background / History

Jiang Fan began as an underestimated student whose Blood Vitality had repeatedly tested at 0.8. After entering the Martial Dao space, he endured repeated defeats against Fang Jue's projection, discovered that time flowed ten times faster inside, and ultimately received Fang Jue's inheritance: the Innate Breathing and Qi Guiding Technique. 6 7 13

He was expelled from Jiangcheng Third High School after a disputed absence, but refused the school's later attempt to recruit him back once his Level 2 breakthrough became public. 13 57 His rise led him to Ninth Martial Arts University, where Hong Tiangan recognized his exceptional potential and later confirmed that he possessed an Extraordinary Physique. 119 147

Jiang Fan won the Nine Top Martial Arts Universities Newcomer League and established himself as the freshman chief of Ninth Martial Arts University. His conflicts with the Si Kong Family escalated from university disputes to life-or-death confrontations, including his killing of Si Kongyingjie and his battle against Sikong Zhenyu. 152 194 216

After joining the Huaxia military, Jiang Fan served with the Dawn Squad before becoming Captain of the Thunder Special Operations Squad. He rose to become the Eastern War Zone's strongest General Star alongside Fei Ruoyun, then entered the Military Commission Headquarters as a Deputy Chief Inspector. 247 249 336 380

His power eventually surpassed Blue Star's established Supremes. He killed Murayama Myōichi, defied the Martial Arts Divine Hall, and united Huaxia's Supreme Beings in preparation for its retaliation. 525 529 539

After leaving Earth, Jiang Fan fought forces in the Qiyuan Star Domain, including Cost Group and the Blood Butcher Organization. A life-for-life exchange with Roger sent him through a spatial node to Tulip Star, where Chen Yang and Chen Yanchu saved him. 553 609 649

More than a century after he was believed to have fallen in the Galaxy, Jiang Fan reappeared and annihilated Void Organization ruler Fu Wuhen with a single move. By a later era, Blue Star had erected a statue in his honor, and he returned after two hundred years to secure fair treatment for scattered Jiang Family clansmen. 961 972 979

Appearance

Jiang Fan's true appearance was revealed after he removed the face of his Duan Gang disguise. He appeared younger than the identity he had been using, with a composed bearing that drew immediate attention. 1042

• Young and handsome, appearing to be in his early twenties when his true face was revealed. 1042
• Sword-like brows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a deep gaze. 1042
• Black hair and black eyes, noted as matching the ethnic appearance of Jiang Qinian. 1
• Often presents himself with restrained, calm, and difficult-to-read composure. 1023

Personality

Jiang Fan is notably self-possessed. Even as an inexperienced student, he faced authority figures directly, cited school regulations against an unjust expulsion, and refused to be intimidated by opponents with greater social standing. 13 36

He strongly values independence. He rejected Wang Ye's team invitation during the General Star assessment because he was not accustomed to working with others, and he left Qi Qi's protection so he could prove his own ability on the battlefield. 64 284

Although blunt and capable of ruthless retaliation against enemies, Jiang Fan does not pursue conflict for its own sake. He dismissed He Kun's provocation rather than escalating it, remained calm during Fu Xingchen's jealous accusations, and often conceals his true power rather than seeking recognition. 238 348 349

His reserve does not prevent compassion. He escorted Yan Yan back to Wen Yu after the child returned his points card, protected comrades during rift crises, and later sought only fair conditions—not special privilege—for the Jiang Family's scattered descendants. 171 193 979
