Background / History

At age twenty, while nearing the end of his sophomore year, Jiang Xing secured funding and private property for the Jiang Xing Research Institute. The approved support included 20 million in cash and 50 million worth of materials; he intended for the institute to become internationally renowned 17.

His early work centered on the Golden-Veined Koi's dragon evolution. He used Dragon Scale Lychees to create Dragon Lychee Cubes, taught the koi the legend of carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, and trained them in the Dragon Sacrifice Dance to introduce Dragon-type power 7. He later designed controlled experiments separating koi given Dragon-type resources and moves from those given neither 17.

Jiang Xing founded the Dragon Gate Assembly at Yuzhong Waterfall to test his Personality Conjecture publicly. After a conventional Dragon Gate produced no evolutions, he used the Rainbow Dragon Cub's true [Dragon Gate] to verify the role of personality in evolution 27. His results established that a Brave personality is necessary for Golden-Veined Koi to become Rainbow Dragon Cubs; Dragon-type energy and moves improve the odds but are not mandatory 30 43.

His subsequent research expanded into revival, intimacy, emotion, and previously unknown attributes. He studied the Death Secret Realm's Spirit-Guarding Dogs, identifying the Death Secret Realm and a Howl Dog's heart of guardianship as key conditions, while documenting the severe costs of revival 52. He later proposed that intimacy persists after death as a force of will, explaining the revival of Spirit-Guarding Dogs and Meng Yuan's Ah Huang 64.

Jiang Xing published the Conjecture and Proof of Intimacy paper, correcting an error in a Pet Beast move and opening research into intimacy-based evolution 56. His work eventually established the existence of the Emotion Attribute and helped other scholars reach the Researcher rank 150.

Personality

Jiang Xing approaches Pet Beast cultivation as research: he builds control groups, records data, tests hypotheses, and turns single projects into multiple academic papers 17 30. He is ambitious about both scientific impact and his institute's growth, but treats his discoveries as foundations for further work rather than endpoints.

He is resourceful with materials and funding. Before receiving support, he used relatively cheap Dragon Scale Lychees despite their limited Dragon-type energy; once funded, he planned to upgrade to more effective Water Dragon Fruit and maximize his Pet Beasts' resources 17. He also protects his intellectual and material assets, refusing to sell his roughly three hundred Rainbow Dragon Cubs because they remained crucial research subjects 30.

He is caring toward both people and Pet Beasts. He supports Li Lingyin's Beast Tamer ambitions, gifts her protective equipment, and encourages her future path 32 46. He also immediately entered a newly opened secret realm to rescue a trapped family 33.
