Jiang Fan

Biodata

Power Progression

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. 4 1 21

Before his rise, Jiang Fan endured years of favoritism and mistreatment in Jiang Zhihe's household. Jiang Li received preferential treatment in food, clothing, and toys, while Jiang Fan was blamed and beaten for incidents attributed to him without investigation. Jiang Zhihe later struck him with Level 2 strength, severely injuring his chest, after which Jiang Fan left the household in the rain. Despite having scores sufficient for First High School, he had been sent to Jiangcheng Third Martial Arts High School. 2 3 8

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. 21 292 He honored his agreement with Luo Xiuwu and attended Fifth High School rather than returning to Third High School. He also joined the dangerous Yuan City defense competition despite his family's objections. 57 263 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. 712 547

During his early cultivation, Jiang Fan used Qing Yue's inherited instructions to brew Spirit Turtle Blood Replenishing Soup at Anshi Hall. He purchased ten batches of ingredients and rented the pharmacy's brewing equipment, later developing a business partnership with Anshi Hall. 23 270

As River City's top college entrance examination scorer, Jiang Fan received special treatment upon enrolling at Ninth Martial Arts University. Shen Du personally completed his enrollment, provided 100,000 points and two monthly opportunities to enter the Secret Realm, and assigned him a private courtyard. 114

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. 147 193 227

His relationship with the Kyoto Jiang Family was initially strained by his experiences in Jiang Zhihe's household and his refusal to accept protection with obligations attached. Jiang Liye eventually revealed that Jiang Qinian was his biological father and that the family had arranged for him to be raised by another household after Jiang Qinian was branded a traitor. Jiang Fan later acknowledged Jiang Zhihe's role in raising him, while still disapproving of his past conduct. 218 219 221 233 272

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, sharing the military's strongest General Star distinction with the Central War Zone's Fei Ruoyun, then entered the Military Commission Headquarters as a Deputy Chief Inspector. 261 264 302 342 367 421

Jiang Fan also investigated his parents' past and visited his mother's relatives in Peng City. He identified himself as Hu Qiuling's son, reunited with the Hu Family, and intervened when the Duan Family attempted to trap them through a land agreement. 417 420 433

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. 644 662 687 After defeating the Divine Seat, he informed Huaxia's leaders that the country was no longer bound by the Hall and explained that its rapid advancement methods depended on Spirit Liquid supplied by an extraterrestrial God. 548

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. 638 610 695

In the Qiyuan Star Domain, Jiang Fan became Huai Zhen's disciple and developed his spatial and spiritual abilities. His frontier service eventually revealed that he was not simply a privileged Red Talisman holder, as others had assumed, but a powerful cultivator and Chi Ling's junior brother. After the Supreme Military Committee appointed Chi Ling temporary Grand Marshal and relieved him of his duties, he entrusted Hong Ling and the other children to Zhan En before returning to seek Huai Zhen. 762 763 835 836 871

During an expedition into the Time Scorch zone, Jiang Fan was swept away by a Time Torrent and transported to the Mystic Heaven Realm. To conceal his identity and survive there, he adopted the name Duan Gang, entered the Falling Cloud Sect, later joined the Heaven Sect, and eventually attracted the attention of Zixiao Zhenren through the Sect Ranking Tournament and Hidden Dragon Ranking. 917 931 958 1023 1042

When he first returned from the Mystic Heaven Realm, Jiang Fan believed only half a year had passed. Huai Zhen instead informed him that his disappearance had lasted 178 years, leaving him fearful for his family and friends on Blue Star. 956

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 approximately two hundred years to secure fair treatment for scattered Jiang Family clansmen. 961 972 979

The transformation of familiar places on Blue Star left Jiang Fan deeply desolate. During this return, he learned that Ma Ning had married Jiang Sichen and that Jiang Jingwang and his family were their descendants. Although he helped the declining Jiang Family, he told them that he would leave Blue Star again and did not know when he might return. 973 977 978

After revealing his true identity, Jiang Fan became Zixiao Zhenren's disciple and continued his cultivation as Jiang Fan. He comprehended cultivation arts in the Sea of Ten Thousand Laws, formed a Space Law Domain, and subsequently entered the Emperor Realm before advancing through the Jietian War. 1028 1043 1047 1181 1221

Zixiao Zhenren knew that Jiang Fan had emerged from the Sealed Land and promised to protect him. Although Jiang Fan abandoned the Duan Gang disguise, his master instructed him to keep his origins secret within the Holy Land. Jiang Fan also secured places for Zeng Yang and Jiang Zhuoxi and gave Chen Ping resources before leaving Heaven Sect. 1041 1042

Mo Lou's ambush devastated Jiang Fan's meridians, dantian, and Great Dao Foundation. Jiang Fan killed him by burning his Great Dao Essence and using the Soul-Devouring Ancient Mirror. Despite Zixiao Zhenren's advice to remain behind and recover, he insisted on accompanying Jiang Ming to the Upper Realm as promised. 1240

After suffering damage to his Great Dao Foundation, Jiang Fan repaired it by condensing five Great Daos and entered the True Realm. He later joined Heavenly Divination Palace, where his concealed combat ability and exceptional tactical control became increasingly evident to his fellow disciples and elders. 1281 1310 1320

In the Underground Palace, Jiang Fan received spiritual power from Wei Lang and three Dao Realm elders to break the formation's restrictions. Using the Blood-Fiend True Scripture, he reversed its blood-fiend flow and severed the Gray-Robed Elder's connection to the formation core. Wei Lang gave him two Great Daos during the confrontation, but the elder continued fighting and began replenishing himself with the palace's blood-fiend aura. 1361

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. 484
• Often presents himself with restrained, calm, and difficult-to-read composure. 1023
• His appearance remained essentially unchanged when Huai Zhen saw him again after 178 years had elapsed in the Galaxy. 956

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. 21 120

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. 479 312

His refusal to depend on a lineage is also a matter of principle. Although he came to recognize that Jiang Liye's attempts to recruit him were not necessarily malicious, he would not accept Jiang Family resources while refusing the obligations expected in return. His stated goal was to become powerful enough for one person to rival an entire lineage. 220 221

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. 251 380 381

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. 453 188 979

He is protective of those who have earned his loyalty. He rushed to rescue Meng Dong'er after learning that she had stayed behind to hold off high-level Exotic Beasts, and he demanded that injured Ninth Martial Arts University students identify their attackers so he could obtain justice for them. 208 238

Jiang Fan places importance on repaying kindness without exploiting others. He agreed to help the Martial Arts Association because of its past assistance rather than Minister Wan's offer of future protection, and he disclosed the truth of his background to Yue Chuan rather than risk implicating his benefactor through concealment. 130 234

Jiang Fan also remains composed under coordinated combat pressure. During Heavenly Divination Palace's match against the Crimson Firmament Sect, he deliberately accepted a limited role after Zhao Kun dismissed him, then used precise intervention and simultaneous support of several allies to reverse the battle once the situation demanded it. 1320

His commitments can outweigh concern for his own condition. After Mo Lou's ambush, he insisted on taking Jiang Ming to the Upper Realm despite his devastated cultivation because he had promised to accompany her. 1240

Innate Breathing and Qi Guiding Technique

• Illusions — created an illusion to interrogate Zhuang Botao. 519

• Blood-Fiend True Scripture — reversed the blood-fiend flow of the Underground Palace's formation, shattered its blood-colored vortex, and disconnected the Gray-Robed Elder from the formation core. 1361
• External Great Dao support — received two Great Daos extracted by Wei Lang, enabling him to continue breaking the formation and repel the Gray-Robed Elder's attacks. 1361

• Can defeat superior-ranked opponents through timing, prediction, and rapid adaptation. 330 401
• Has defeated multiple high-level opponents with minimal reliance on visible techniques. 300 132
• Uses both unarmed combat and condensed Qi weapons, including swords and long-range palm strikes. 702 710

Story Role / Major Arcs

Martial Dao Space and School Years

Jiang Fan's first major turning point was acquiring Fang Jue's inheritance through the Martial Dao space. Its accelerated time flow allowed him to train beyond the limits of his ordinary environment and begin his rise from a disregarded student. 4 1

His early rise also involved leaving an abusive household, overcoming expulsion from Third High School, and using medicinal preparation to support his cultivation. Spirit Turtle Blood Replenishing Soup helped form part of his early resource base, and he confirmed his Level 2 breakthrough with 11.2 Qi and Blood and 1,651 combat power. 2 3 21 23 24

He refused Third High School's attempt to reclaim him, honored his agreement with Luo Xiuwu, and participated in the city defense competition. His eventual college entrance examination results made him River City's top scorer and secured his admission to Ninth Martial Arts University with substantial benefits. 57 114 263

University and Newcomer League

At Ninth Martial Arts University, Jiang Fan became Newcomer Chief and won the inter-school Newcomer League. His success attracted the attention of the Jiang Family, top universities, and the Si Kong Family. 712 147 514

He defeated Song Xixi and demonstrated strength that placed him among the leading High-level Level 4 freshmen. Later, when the other eight top universities targeted Ninth Martial Arts University students in the Secret Realm, he confronted their leaders and retaliated against those responsible for injuring his schoolmates. 140 145 208 210

His conflict with the Si Kong Family also led to revelations about his ancestry. Jiang Liye identified Jiang Qinian as his biological father, while Jiang Fan continued to reject attempts to bind him to the Kyoto Jiang Family through resources and protection. 219 221 227 233

Eastern War Zone and Strongest General Star

Jiang Fan entered the Eastern War Zone, joined frontline operations, became Captain of the Thunder Special Operations Squad, and led the Eastern War Zone through the Strongest General Star Challenge. He ultimately shared the strongest General Star title with Fei Ruoyun. 264 356 367

He was selected to captain the Eastern War Zone team after the commanders examined his performance in the assessment's gravity, maze, puppet, and consciousness trials. Jiang Fan and Fei Ruoyun subsequently cleared all one hundred Eternal Sacred Monument opponents, sharing first place and becoming the military's strongest twin stars. 302 342

His later duties as Deputy Chief Inspector brought him into investigations involving military misconduct and the Si Kong Family. He also protected Jiang Yunxin during the Liao City Base affair and pursued information about his parents. 380 381 386 417

Supreme Being Conflict

After reaching Level 9, Jiang Fan killed Murayama Myōichi and became a central figure in Huaxia's resistance to the Martial Arts Divine Hall. His need for mysterious stones united several Huaxia Supremes behind him. 644 662 687

His Level 9 status was already confirmed during his confrontation with Lingxi, whose spatial domain he shattered. After defeating the Divine Seat, he announced Huaxia's freedom from the Hall and exposed the extraterrestrial source of its Spirit Liquid and cultivation support. 507 548

Qiyuan Star Domain

Jiang Fan's conflict with Cost Group and the Divine Kingdom expanded his story beyond Earth. Following his apparent death in the battle with Roger, he survived on Tulip Star, formed bonds with the Chen siblings, and later returned to confront the forces threatening them. 638 610 695

His recovery included advancement to Level 12, followed by participation in the Purifier selection process and combat against the Blood Butcher Organization. He returned to save the Purifier Squad after killing the Level 13 Bone Erosion Elder and used his Gravity Domain to prevent the remaining enemies from escaping. 622 693 722

As Huai Zhen's disciple, he learned Space Folding and refined his broader abilities. Secluded cultivation carried him into mid-stage Level 14, while subsequent frontier warfare raised him through advanced Level 15 and into Level 16. 762 763 765 829 840

His frontier accomplishments overturned assumptions that he was merely a connected great-family scion. After leaving his command, he returned the children in his care to Canglan Star and resumed cultivation and deep-space hunting, eventually reaching mid-stage Level 18. 835 836 871 874 875

Return and Mystic Heaven Holy Land

Having been presumed dead for more than a century, Jiang Fan returned as a legendary figure capable of erasing Fu Wuhen in one move. He later entered the Mystic Heaven Holy Land under the identity Duan Gang before revealing his true face and continuing as Jiang Fan. 961 1042 1043

The discrepancy between time in the Mystic Heaven Realm and the Galaxy was central to this return: what Jiang Fan experienced as approximately half a year corresponded to 178 years outside. On Blue Star, familiar locations had become unrecognizable, and he encountered descendants of Jiang Sichen and Ma Ning rather than the relatives he remembered. 956 973 977

Hidden Dragon Ranking and Zixiao Hall

Jiang Fan's selection for the Hidden Dragon Ranking exposed his extraordinary rune comprehension. After controlling ten thousand basic runes and deriving the Primordial One-Qi Art, he became a disciple of Zixiao Zhenren and formed his Space Law Domain during secluded cultivation. 1023 1028 1041 1047

His law cultivation then produced a breakthrough directly into the mid-stage Saint Realm. By the time his Space Law reached Return to Truth, he stood at the peak Saint Realm and judged his full combat strength close to that of an ordinary mid-stage Emperor Realm expert. 1048 1167

Emperor Realm and Jietian War

Jiang Fan broke into the Emperor Realm after eliminating a Mist-Hidden Beast pack, then demonstrated his command of Space and Time Laws by annihilating four Emperor Realm opponents. He later seized the Blood Moon Realm's Law Source Liquid and advanced to the peak Emperor Realm during the Jietian War. 1181 1188 1221

After advancing into the Void Realm, he faced three top prodigies simultaneously, forcing him to confront their trump-card innate divine abilities. Mo Lou's subsequent ambush left his cultivation and foundation devastated, but Jiang Fan killed him and refused to abandon his promise to take Jiang Ming to the Upper Realm. 1230 1231 1240

Dao Foundation Restoration and Heavenly Divination Palace

After his Great Dao Foundation was damaged, Jiang Fan restored it by condensing five Great Daos and entered the True Realm. At Heavenly Divination Palace, he continued to conceal much of his strength, but decisively revealed his tactical value by directing his team to victory against the Crimson Firmament Sect. 1281 1310 1320

Before the restoration, he and Jiang Ming crossed Ghost Cry Valley, where he used the Soul-Devouring Ancient Mirror against Soul-Eating Beasts. By Chapter 1306, his cultivation had advanced to the peak of the mid-stage True Realm. 1278 1306

His participation in the palace's competition was not originally his intention: he had accompanied Jiang Ming and Lin Yan to watch. Zhao Kun and several elders opposed his selection, making his later decisive contribution a reversal of their expectations. 1317 1320

Underground Palace and the Gray-Robed Elder

Within the Underground Palace, Jiang Fan became the focus of a cooperative attempt to break the formation's restrictions. Wei Lang and three Dao Realm elders supplied spiritual power, while Wei Lang additionally sacrificed two Great Daos to support him. Jiang Fan used the Blood-Fiend True Scripture to reverse the formation's flow and destroy its core connection, but the Gray-Robed Elder remained capable of fighting and began drawing in the surrounding blood-fiend aura. 1361
