Background / History

Jiang Xiao awakens in Jiang Xiaopi's body and discovers that he is an Awakened with the Big Dipper Nine Stars Star Chart, nine Star Slots, and the unique Inner Star Map system. Initially only at Star Dust Stage Lv.2, he begins with no Star Skills and must adapt both to his new identity and to the dangers of the Star Martial world. 2

He lives with his older sister, Han Jiangxue, whose harsh treatment is rooted in concern for his survival. Jiang Xiao accepts her training arrangements, including carrying his own equipment and entering dangerous dimensional spaces, because he understands that she is preparing him to survive without her. 14

Although originally a Medical Awakened, Jiang Xiao refuses to remain dependent on others. He trains under Lei Jin, hunts in the Snowy Plains, develops Dagger Proficiency, and later learns all nine movements of the Xia Family Blade Art from Xia Yan. 21 26 178

His combat ability, unusual support toolkit, and success in major competitions make him increasingly famous. Despite public speculation over his mere nine Star Slots, he keeps his Star Chart hidden from nearly everyone and builds a reputation as a support who can fight at the front line. 269 287 316

Jiang Xiao later joins military operations, earns promotion to Major, and participates in missions connected to the Dragon Cave, where his parents disappeared. 806 He eventually develops bases, armies, and alliances in Other Earth, integrating intelligent Star Beasts and establishing control over Birch Forest, Ye Ancient Tower, and Dance Soul City. 912 1118

Appearance

Jiang Xiao is initially described as 175 cm tall and later considers himself 182 cm tall after Star Power-driven physical growth. 278 1226 He is notably smaller than many front-line combatants, a contrast that often causes others to underestimate him.

• Wears camouflage or military uniforms during missions. 32 652
• Frequently carries a Great Blade, though he also uses daggers, a recurve bow, and a Fang Tian Halberd. 370 885 958
• Can alter his face, body, and eventually voice through Vice Minister, subject to limits imposed by his own height and original physical structure. 431 670
• Can assume nonhuman forms through Lure, including a White Ghoul Witch and a one-eyed crow. 460 631

Personality

Jiang Xiao is mischievous, shameless, and fond of teasing friends, rivals, and the public. He regularly uses humor to defuse tension, including during exhausting missions and high-profile competitions. 316 533 643

Beneath this unserious exterior, he is exceptionally diligent and practical. He trains intensely, values combat experience over empty confidence, and carefully considers the long-term consequences of each Star Slot, Star Technique, and advancement. 21 103 370

He is protective of those he accepts as his people. He supports overwhelmed teammates, calms Xia Yan during Black Flame Fear exposure, seeks a way to save Yuan Yuan and the Hu Wei–Cang Lan family, and takes responsibility for displaced Ghost Face Monks. 398 401 641 912

As his strength grows, Jiang Xiao becomes increasingly conscious of the danger he represents. He reflects on the possibility that his power could threaten the world and considers retiring once its crises are resolved. 1122

Abilities & Skills

Inner Star Map

Jiang Xiao possesses the Inner Star Map, a personal system that tracks his Star Power, Star Techniques, Basic Skills, Star Pets, and Skill Points.

• Grants Skill Points for accomplishments such as kills, medals, assessments, and combat achievements. 109 806 831
• Allows him to upgrade Basic Skills and, at times, force breakthroughs using accumulated Skill Points. 529 1052
• Encourages his strategic restraint: because he has only nine Star Slots, he prioritizes versatile techniques with useful attributes and manageable limitations. 103
• Later reveals Starry Quality and supports transformations connected to the Star Martial Chronicle. 1026 1142

Medical Support Techniques

Jiang Xiao's foundational role is that of a Medical Support Star Warrior.

• Blessing — Heals and provides extreme comfort; at low quality, its healing is modest and limited by Star Power reserves. 9
• Bell Chime — Calms mental instability and clears negative effects, including Xia Yan's Black Flame Fear and Rampage-related loss of control. 398 679
• Endurance — Provides extraordinary durability; by Diamond Quality, it gives Jiang Xiao formidable defensive power. 705
• Light of Reversal — Can draw Star Power from targets and redirect it, including to sustain the Calamity Shadow Ruins. 670
• Yearning Halo — Helps maintain allies' Star Power, especially in coordination with Light of Reversal. 679

Cyan Glow

Cyan Glow is Jiang Xiao's signature offensive and control technique.

• Can be applied to weapons, particularly his Great Blade. 34
• Creates powerful knockback and battlefield spacing rather than simple lethal damage. 278
• Progresses from Bronze to Silver, Gold, and eventually Platinum Quality. 21 59 167 431
• Its force is strong enough that other Awakened question why it possesses such unusual power. 109

Combat Proficiency

Jiang Xiao develops from an inexperienced support into a highly versatile front-line fighter.

• Barehanded Combat — Advances through self-study, boxing instruction, and Skill Points; reaches Gold Quality after his Star River breakthrough. 9 529
• Dagger Proficiency — Activates during his first close battle with a White Ghost and is later developed through Snowy Plains combat. 26
• Xia Family Blade Art — Learns all nine moves from Xia Yan and later popularizes a Tenth Style, gaining millions of online “disciples.” 178 316
• Fang Tian Halberd Proficiency — Becomes a major discipline that he teaches to Yi Qingchen; reaches Platinum Quality Lv.7. 958 1168
• Archery Proficiency — Reaches Platinum Quality, enabling him to properly use the Withering Bow Star Chart and Transform Star into Weapon. 1127
• Applies tactical restraint and observation in combat rather than relying on luck or sudden inspiration. 408

Mobility, Space, and Stealth

Jiang Xiao possesses a highly flexible collection of movement and spatial techniques.

• Space-Time Gap — A valuable escape technique that expands team tactical options, though it once consumed nearly all his Star Power at Half-Step Star River. 468 529
• Calamity Shadow World — Stores personnel, Star Beasts, resources, and settlements; Jiang Xiao uses it to relocate creatures, establish bases, and conduct large-scale operations. 670 1112 1118
• Earth Light — Can temporarily alter the displayed quality of his Star Slots and, after upgrading, grants an additional Star Chart with the same fixed nine slots and embedded techniques. 431 665
• Star Stealth — At an unprecedented “Big Colored Diamond” quality, lets him manipulate internal Star Power and create a dense Star Power environment. 669

Vice Minister

Vice Minister is Jiang Xiao's transformation and mimicry technique.

• Initially changes his appearance while retaining limitations in height, voice, and body proportions. 431
• At Starry Quality, allows complete transformation into humanoid creatures within approximately 10 cm of his own height. 670
• Can imitate people closely enough to create a second “Xia Yan,” though his earliest version could not reproduce her height or voice. 431
• Jiang Xiao uses disguise selectively because he prefers not to hide from enemies targeting him. 963

Lure

Lure creates independent forms of Jiang Xiao capable of operating in distant locations.

• Takes forms including a White Ghoul Witch, a one-eyed crow, and human disguises. 460 631
• Allows Jiang Xiao to explore the Upper Snowy Plains and form bonds with Yuan Yuan, Hu Wei, and Cang Lan. 641
• Lets him maintain separate bodies for reconnaissance, training, and combat without overburdening his main body. 976

Star Martial Chronicle and Human Body Modification

The Star Martial Chronicle greatly expands Jiang Xiao's knowledge and power.

• Uses Time Rewind to study the Chronicle, improving both Star Power cultivation and Physical Fitness. 1142
• Reveals possible links between Earth, Other Earth, and a god-level Star Warrior. 1142
• Provides Human Body Modification diagrams that can accelerate another person's genuine realm and physical growth. 1176
• Jiang Xiao uses the modification on Han Jiangxue, then plans to modify Xia Yan's Star Techniques. 1176

Equipment / Weapons / Items
