Background / History

Jiang Ruochan came to Wing City after sustaining severe injuries while exploring deep within the Ruins. The resulting conflict between her Light and Darkness powers left her weakened; she attended school on the suggestion that its relaxed environment might ease the Evil Qi affecting her. While there, she formed the Wind Chime Squad with newly awakened Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo, initially “for fun.” 59 119

As the squad’s leader, she gave its members access to Sky Punishment information, explained the limitations of ordinary Awakened cultivation, and supplied training materials. She later facilitated their formal involvement in Sky Punishment missions and resource exchanges. 17 18 30

Jiang Ruochan recognized that Jiang Hou’s unexplained physical growth and lack of power circuits were unusual. She offered him a Divine Weapon fragment, allowing him to take the risk of becoming a dual-era inheritor under her protection. 21 22 27

After Jiang Hou disclosed his Inheritance Mark and Behemoth transformation, Jiang Ruochan revealed that she also possessed an Inheritance Mark. She warned him that Demigod-level entities could strip such marks for the divine substance connected to their respective Inheritance Temples. 118 119

Appearance

Jiang Ruochan is a black-haired young woman usually seen in a black trench coat, often quietly reading by a window. Her calm, handsome everyday bearing sharply contrasts with her ornate combat form. 18 62 118

• Long black hair; in battle it takes on a black-blue sheen. 140
• Common attire includes a black windbreaker or trench coat, white shirt, and black trousers. 26
• Often carries or reads an unidentified book. 18 118
• Her Seventh Order battle form includes gold-white armor, white-gold boots, a five-meter Dragon Spear, silver-feather hair ornaments, and three radiant peacock feathers. 140
• Following her Light-and-Darkness fusion, she can manifest black battle armor, a black demonic sword, and a vast black-and-white divine wheel. 174 345

Personality

Jiang Ruochan generally presents herself as indifferent, composed, and understated. She is confident enough to treat a Seventh Order Demon God as a manageable threat, yet she takes command decisively when civilians or lower-order Transcendents are at risk. 140

She is an informed and patient instructor, particularly when explaining the Awakened system, rankings, resources, and the Eight Great Era inheritances. Her assistance nevertheless follows her own fluctuating principles: she stresses Sky Punishment’s merit-based rules, but personally provides resources when she judges someone worth supporting. 18 22 33

Her casual demeanor extends to personal finances. She repeatedly borrows Sky Punishment points, intending to repay them through dangerous operations and Ruins gains. 127 156
