Background and History

Yan Runan returned to Nanjiang City during a break from Divine Martial University, claiming she wanted both to visit relatives and recruit prospective students for credits. Zhang Wei enlisted her to investigate the Dragon Lake incident, where martial artists had collectively gone berserk. 12

Working with the Patrol Bureau, she reported on riots caused by residual flesh from a King-tier Abyss creature. Her investigation led her to Jiang Yuan, whose official record—an E-rank talent, ordinary Assassin class, and low blood-qi test—did not match his apparent ability to kill a Level 7 contaminated martial artist. Rather than dismissing the discrepancy, she became intrigued. 16

She later visited Jiang Yuan's home as a Patrol Bureau representative, delivering a 500,000-credit commendation and a rare cake for his kill of an LV7 Abyss monster. After assessing his exceptional blood-qi and mental presence, she encouraged him to apply to Divine Martial University and offered her confidence in his potential over Nanjiang City's better-known geniuses. 36 37

Jiang Yuan eventually agreed to enroll on the condition that Yan Runan help ensure his family's safety. She upheld that arrangement by executing the Abyss Cultist Face-Shifter outside Mo Xixi's home. 72

During the Mechanical Church incident, Yan Runan arrived in time to save Jiang Yuan from a Tier 6 mechanical monster, revealing the Eye of Shinra and its time-related powers. 112 113

When Nanjiang City suffered a large-scale Abyss invasion, she rescued civilians, healed a crushed child with a Life Crystal, and searched urgently for Jiang Yuan after learning that he was the Abyss's primary target. She later confronted the eighth-rank Fate Player, countering his Fate Wheel Pupil with Forced Sharing before escaping via a High-Tier Teleportation Scroll. 141 142

Yan Runan is a striking blue-haired young woman who usually keeps her eyes concealed beneath a black silk blindfold. Her presence is repeatedly described as dreamlike and mysterious. 36 141

• Long, ethereal blue hair. 12 141
• A black silk blindfold, worn to cover and restrain the effects of her ocular power. 36 113
• Heterochromatic eyes: one yellow and one purple, with cross-shaped pupils and shifting multicolored light when unveiled. 112

Personality

Yan Runan is lively, teasing, and food-motivated. She readily trades assistance for hotpot, takes obvious pleasure in snacks and gossip, and can turn even tense conversations into playful banter. 12 57 344

Behind that casual attitude, she is perceptive and serious about protecting people. She recognized Jiang Yuan's abnormal potential before most others did, guarded his family after their agreement, and acted decisively during Abyss-related emergencies. 37 57 72 141

She is also highly competitive. Although she admires Jiang Yuan's growth, she repeatedly seeks to test herself against powerful opponents, including Jiang Yuan, Sikong, and National War contestants. 253 265 397

Abilities & Skills

Eye of Shinra / Myriad Phenomena Eye

Yan Runan's SS-rank ocular talent consists of her left eye, Senra, and right eye, Wanxiang. The eyes grant exceptional perception and a range of space-, time-, and force-related techniques. 112 113

• Senra — rewinds and stores one second of time. 113
• Wanxiang — can reflect attacks and manifests additional effects depending on the technique used. 113

• Instant: Acceleration — slows her perception of time to produce extreme attack speed. 267
• Twist — warps space to redirect attacks from multiple angles. 265
• Time alteration — used to defeat Xivia after a battle against a spiritual summon. 398

Limits

• Rewinding time consumes significant power and can cause bleeding from her eyes. 113 142 267

• She cannot stop time for one second before reaching the Quasi-King realm. 267
