Background
Xia Yi is the captain of Yan Kingdom’s secretive Black Rose Special Forces Squad, a unit entrusted with dangerous missions including decapitation operations. The squad’s classified status is such that even Xia Yi’s public name is an alias. Before entering the Forbidden Land, she had received extensive tactical, survival, firearms, close-combat, ancient martial-arts, and hypnosis training. She had also defeated Chen Warrior King in a confidential live-combat exercise where both sides used advanced tactics and equipment 202 209 240 241.
When she was selected as Yan Kingdom’s second Forbidden Land contestant, Black Rose equipped her within twenty minutes with firearms, ammunition, rations, water, drones, explosives, tools, and other field supplies. She entered carrying the maximum load she could bear and adapted to the Forbidden Land’s pressure almost immediately 201 202.
Xia Yi had watched portions of Xu Fan’s livestream before her selection and kept notes on both the Forbidden Land and Xu Fan’s rewards. She later revealed that she possessed confidential knowledge suggesting the Forbidden Land had been discovered by the five major nations three years before the public crisis, and that she had originally been intended as Yan Kingdom’s first contestant 436 501 502.
Appearance
Xia Yi is a woman over 1.7 meters tall who initially appears in full camouflage gear and combat equipment. After removing her camouflage paint, her original appearance draws considerable attention from viewers 201 210 248.
- Usually wears camouflage clothing, a field pack, holsters, and tactical gear.
- Carries heavy firearms and ammunition rather than relying on conventional melee weapons.
- Her Void Symbiote can form a fitted black living battle suit or a black camouflage outfit 454 459.
- The symbiote can produce wing-like floating-cannon structures from her back and reshape around her weapons 454 488.
Personality
Xia Yi is controlled, practical, and exceptionally difficult to rattle. She does not celebrate easy victories, instead immediately recovering spent equipment, preparing defenses, and considering the next threat. Chen Warrior King describes her defining quality as her ability to remain calm, consider every possible outcome, and identify the optimal response under pressure 204 210 241.
Her loyalty to Yan Kingdom shapes most of her decisions. She repeatedly accepts personal danger to strengthen the squad, protect civilians, or preserve the nation’s future security. She chose to fuse with the Void Symbiote not for personal power, but because she believed Yan Kingdom needed more defenders than Xu Fan alone 417 452 454.
Xia Yi can also be ruthless toward enemies. During an interrogation of an X Church knight, she crippled him, used an inch punch to stop his counterattack, and employed electrical torture to extract information. She makes no attempt to excuse this approach, viewing hostile Forbidden Land natives as enemies rather than her own people 286.

Marksmanship and Firearms Mastery
Xia Yi is a professionally trained sharpshooter capable of precision shooting under immediate threat.

Tactical Operations and Survival
As a Black Rose captain, Xia Yi combines battlefield planning with wilderness readiness.
- Carries and deploys remote-controlled bombs, mines, drones, flashlights, radios, entrenching tools, rations, and medical supplies 201 257.

- Uses drones for above-ground reconnaissance and places layered explosives around defensive positions 257.
- Her professional radios failed within the Forbidden Land, producing only static despite their five-kilometer range on Blue Star 257.
- Is proficient at making primitive weapons, including bows, arrows, and spears, if ammunition becomes unavailable 489.
Hand-to-Hand Combat and Ancient Martial Arts
Although firearms are her primary specialty, Xia Yi is highly capable in close quarters.
- Used an inch punch to incapacitate an attacking X Church knight 286.
- Is proficient in close-quarters combat and ancient martial arts, having trained in martial arts from childhood under her father 286 415.
- Her physical conditioning allowed her to carry more than one hundred pounds of supplies through the Forbidden Land 210 393.
Deep Hypnosis and Mental Resistance
Black Rose personnel are trained to resist interrogation and protect sensitive intelligence.
- Can place herself under deep hypnosis to prevent pain responses and intelligence leaks if captured 240.
- Resisted Cthulhu’s psychic domination long enough to trigger her hypnosis plan.
- Deliberately allowed Cthulhu to learn that she was important to Xu Fan, ensuring it would keep her alive as a hostage.
- Set Xu Fan’s appearance as the condition that would wake her, gambling that he would force Cthulhu into desperation 240.
Thunderclap Hand
A palm technique that Xia Yi rapidly adapted to her own combat style.
- Generates blue and purple lightning through repeated resonances.
- Can be channeled into firearms, electrifying bullets as they leave the barrel 427.
- Falling Flower Palm — At seven resonances, manifests a giant lightning palm that left a meter-deep imprint and could crush a B+-Rank beast 457.
- Thunder Dragon Emerges from the Sea — At eight resonances, shapes her lightning into an Eastern dragon for a direct attack 458.
- Thunderclap Heavenly Prison Binding — Uses symbiote tissue and lightning to restrain an opponent before launching a follow-up attack 530.
- High-level use causes severe stamina drain; a twenty-minute battle using the technique left her exhausted 429.
Thunderclap Body
Xia Yi’s ninth Thunderclap resonance transformed her constitution into an electricity-based body.
- Greatly increases her strength, speed, and ability to withstand direct attacks 526.
- Allowed her to catch Kurama Masabō’s punch and briefly exchange blows with the SS-Rank yokai 526.
- Enables aerial movement by stepping on air and using lightning propulsion 526.
- Reduces the effectiveness of Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger’s gravity field because her transformed body has unusually light gravity 530.
- Requires acclimation and heavy stamina expenditure; Xia Yi’s control and endurance deteriorated during prolonged exchanges with Kurama Masabō 526.
Void Symbiote
A living Void organism fused with Xia Yi as a battle suit.

- Modifies firearms and ammunition with living tissue, increasing their destructive power 454 456.
- Produces wing-like floating cannons and other weapon-like structures 454 488.
- Coexists with Xia Yi rather than inherently seeking to control her; she proved complete control after testing herself against Xu Fan 455 458 459.

Ammunition Skills
- Frozen Rounds — Imbues bullets or arrows with freezing power, with a chance to freeze targets 291.

- Hell Explosive Flame Bullet — A Void-enhanced Hellfire shot that produced a molten area nearly one hundred meters across during her test against Xu Fan 456 457.
Equipment
- Sniper rifle — Her principal long-range weapon; later enhanced by the Void Symbiote 203 455.
- Submachine gun and automatic pistols — Standard components of her tactical loadout 201 454.
- Remote-controlled bombs and landmines — Used for ambushes, perimeter defense, and anti-knight operations 204 257 285.
- Drone — Used for aerial scouting while defending a cave position 257.
- Professional flashlight — Aluminum-alloy LED light with low-light, high-light, and strobe settings capable of temporarily blinding enemies 257.
- Storage Ring — Gifted by Xu Fan; holds up to five cubic meters of non-living objects and allows her to carry firearms and ammunition without their usual weight 246.
- Focused Flamethrower — Survival Gift Pack reward; a lightweight long-range suppression weapon 377 378.
- Ancient Particle Cannon — An SS+-rank reward given to her by Xu Fan; uses spatial-compression technology and laser cannon fire 559.
- Totem of Undying — Blocked Nurarihyon’s fatal attack and transported Xia Yi back to Yan Kingdom 604 605.
Relationships
- Xu Fan — Fellow Yan Kingdom contestant, principal ally, and squad leader. He saved her from the Holy Light Knights, entrusted her with multiple rewards, and supported her decision to merge with the Void Symbiote. Xia Yi trusts him as the person capable of defeating threats beyond her reach 206 240 291 452 454.
- Carlotta — Teammate and close ally. Carlotta supported Xia Yi’s symbiote fusion, believing Xia Yi’s willpower and endurance would let her prevail 452.
- Ren Jiutian — Yan Kingdom teammate. He is repeatedly astonished by Xia Yi’s strength and tactical mind, while she works alongside him in team combat 240 604.
- Female Snow Wolf (Holo) — Teammate and protector. Xu Fan specifically left Holo behind to prioritize Xia Yi’s safety during the Ancient Ruins expedition 257.
- Ryan — Ally from the Forbidden Land. He respects Xia Yi’s combat capability but is unnerved by her interrogation methods and strategic thinking 240 286.
- Chen Warrior King — Former combat opponent and public supporter. He recognizes her Black Rose affiliation and had lost to her in a confidential live-combat match 202 241.
- Black Rose Special Forces Squad — Her original unit. Its members prepared her gear for the Forbidden Land and share her specialized hypnosis training 201 240.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Entry into the Forbidden Land
Xia Yi entered as Yan Kingdom’s second contestant, immediately encountered an Armored Lizard, and chose to kill it rather than retreat. Her one-shot kill established her as an elite combatant, but the gunshot drew the Holy Light Knights toward her position 202 204.
She used remote bombs to ambush the knights, but necromancy and revived enemies eventually overwhelmed her. Xu Fan arrived in time to save her with Sword Qi, after which the two formally met and began operating as allies 206 210.
Cthulhu Hostage Gamble
Cthulhu captured Xia Yi, Carlotta, Holo, and the Two-Legged Sheep girls to stop Xu Fan’s assault. Xia Yi had anticipated that Cthulhu would keep her alive as leverage, so she placed herself under deep hypnosis and covertly positioned herself to act when brought before Xu Fan 236 240.
Her gamble succeeded: she woke at the intended moment, helped create the opening for Cthulhu’s defeat, and earned Xu Fan’s respect for her analysis and planning 240 241.
Yan Kingdom Squad Operations
Xia Yi became a central ranged-combat and defensive specialist for Xu Fan’s group. She received Frozen Rounds, Hellfire Blast, a Storage Ring, and Thunderclap Hand, while also taking responsibility for protecting teammates during exploration and holding defensive positions 246 291 347 415.
Xu Fan allowed her to claim the defeat of Pope Huesler, earning her an S+ Treasure Chest and a doubled underground graphite mine resource for Yan Kingdom 333.
Void Symbiote Fusion
Believing Xu Fan alone could not protect Yan Kingdom against every future threat, Xia Yi volunteered to fuse with the Void Symbiote. Despite concerns from allies and viewers, she successfully formed a symbiotic partnership with it 452 459.
She then challenged Xu Fan to test her new strength. Though she forced him to take the fight seriously enough to use Observation Haki and Air Quake, Xu Fan defeated her without using his full power. The battle confirmed both her control of the symbiote and her place as the squad’s second-strongest combatant 457 460.
Osaka Rescue Operation
After the Forbidden Land’s descent into Osaka, Xia Yi searched the city for Yan Kingdom survivors and cleared monster groups with symbiote-enhanced firearms. She refused to abandon six injured survivors when Kurama Masabō, an SS-Rank yokai, blocked her escape 521 524.
While delaying Kurama Masabō, Xia Yi pushed Thunderclap Hand to nine resonances and awakened the Thunderclap Body. She endured severe injuries while protecting the survivors until Xu Fan’s intervention changed the battle 526 531.
Return to Blue Star
During the battle with Nurarihyon, Xia Yi and Ren Jiutian’s combined assault failed against the enemy’s fourth form. Nurarihyon’s lethal attack activated Xia Yi’s Totem of Undying, returning her safely to Yan Kingdom, where the Special Action Group recovered her 604 605.
At the Special Action Group headquarters, she reunited with Xu Fan and witnessed Yan Kingdom’s experimental super-soldier program. She was astonished to learn that Xu Fan’s Six Styles were advanced combat techniques rather than unique supernatural abilities 621 623 626.
