Background / History

Jiang Yan is a transmigrator who arrived in the era of Legend of the Dragon King. Before awakening his Martial Soul, he trained daily and studied forging under Mang Tian from the age of five, treating the profession as both a practical safeguard and a route to connections in East Sea City. 1

On Martial Soul Awakening Day, Jiang Yan awakened a nine-element dragon Martial Soul. Although its true bloodline was the Dragon God, he initially named it the Holy Dragon King, believing he was not yet strong enough to openly bear the Dragon God name. His Martial Soul possesses ultimate ice, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, life, and destruction, and he awakened with innate full soul power. 1 2

A system then granted him five max-level traits and summoned Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong as personal protectors. During his first cultivation session, Jiang Yan entered deep meditation, prompting Jiang Luochuan to report his potential to the Spirit Pagoda. 2 4

Leng Yaozhu personally visited Aolai City, accepted him as her first and only disciple, and oversaw his first soul-spirit absorption. Jiang Yan absorbed a Tyrannosaurus Rex soul spirit in only two and a half minutes, advancing directly to Rank 12. 7

Over his three years at East Sea Junior Academy, Jiang Yan raised his cultivation by twenty-one ranks, improved his soul spirit by eight thousand years, and advanced his secondary professions by two levels. He graduated at age nine as a Rank 33 Soul Elder before continuing his studies alongside Gu Yuena and his companions in Zero Class. 24 34 35

Following his graduation, Jiang Yan absorbed multiple soul bones, trained under Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua and Body Sect master Mu Ye, and demonstrated combat power far beyond his cultivation. He defeated Wu Changkong despite the latter's Soul Emperor cultivation and two-word Battle Armor, then damaged Soul Douluo Lu Li's three-word Battle Armor with his third soul skill. 29 31 40 58

When Tang Wulin and Tang San attempted to seize his Dragon God bloodline, Jiang Yan allowed Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong to intervene. Their victory destroyed Tang San's divine consciousness within Tang Wulin and enabled Jiang Yan to reclaim the Golden Dragon King's bloodline from Tang Wulin's spiritual world. 73 74 75

Appearance

Jiang Yan is a black-haired boy with an exceptionally refined, flawless appearance. By age nine, he retained some childishness but carried an intimidating presence that made him stand apart from his peers. 12 15 24

• Possesses the Peerless Immortal Beauty trait; the system states he was naturally born with this appearance. 15
• His Martial Soul manifests as a colossal, nine-colored Dragon God phantom. 1 7
• His presence exerts instinctive pressure on dragon bloodlines and other bloodline bearers. 2 7
• Even without deliberately releasing his aura, his appearance and presence attract extraordinary attention from peers, teachers, and senior Soul Masters. 17 37 51

Personality

Jiang Yan is ambitious and unusually forward-thinking. As a transmigrator, he plans around his knowledge of the era and pursues both cultivation and forging rather than relying on a single path. He aims to become the finest Soul Master while believing that surviving long enough will lead to invincibility. 1 17

He is protective toward those he accepts as family, particularly Na'er. He rescued her from abductors, welcomed her as his younger sister, and repeatedly promised that he would remain by her side. 12 23

Although generally polite to family, teachers, and allies, Jiang Yan can be cold and guarded toward perceived threats. He rejected Tang Wulin's attempt at friendship, recognizing the danger posed by Tang Wulin's connection to the Tang family and Golden Dragon King bloodline. 15

Jiang Yan remains considerate even when his strength overwhelms others. After unintentionally damaging Wu Changkong's two-word Battle Armor in their spar, he offered to arrange materials and repairs through Mang Tian. 43

He is also highly pragmatic in dealing with enemies. He chose to confront Tang Wulin's attempted theft of his bloodline directly, accepted the Sea God and Asura God inheritances that subsequently fell into his hands, and prioritized Gu Yuena's protection by giving her usable divine artifacts. 73 74 77

Abilities & Skills

Dragon God Martial Soul

Jiang Yan's Martial Soul is recorded as the Dragon God, though he initially presented it publicly as the Holy Dragon King. It contains nine ultimate elements and possesses a bloodline hierarchy that overwhelms dragons and other bloodline-based Martial Souls. 1 2 24

• Ultimate elemental control over ice, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, life, and destruction. 1 7
• His elemental control strengthens every ten soul-power ranks. 2
• A Tyrannosaurus Rex soul spirit immediately submitted and knelt before his Dragon God aura. 7
• His Martial Soul pressure forced Xie Xie's Light Dragon and Shadow Dragon Daggers to withdraw during their spar. 21
• His elemental authority can completely negate lower-grade elemental attacks, as shown when Wu Changkong's ice-element Soul Skills dissipated before reaching him. 39
• Jiang Yan demonstrates powerful spatial control in combat, allowing his movements to appear both real and illusory. 57
• After reclaiming the Golden Dragon King's power from Tang Wulin, Jiang Yan restored a major portion of the Dragon Clan's rightful legacy to himself. 74

Dragon God Bloodline Abilities

• Sovereign Over All Under Heaven — Inflicts more than 50% intimidation on bloodline bearers, inducing instinctive fear. 2
• Ruler of All Living Beings — Deals more than 50% additional damage to bloodline bearers; this effect can stack with other abilities. 2
• Lord of Elements — Grants affinity and control over every elemental attribute. All nine of Jiang Yan's elements are ultimate-grade. 2
• Divine Power Nature — Attracts divine power exceeding First-Class Godhood, allowing it to nourish Jiang Yan and be converted into power under his control. At its discovery, he possessed no divine power. 2
• His Dragon God bloodline possesses an exceptional affinity for divine inheritances and was able to draw the Sea God and Asura God legacies away from Tang Wulin. 75 77

Max-Level Traits

Jiang Yan possesses five max-level traits granted by the system. 2

• Peerless Immortal Beauty — Enhances an appearance the system says was already naturally exceptional. 15
• Unrivaled Under Heaven 2
• Unbreakable Defense — Described as defense that cannot be broken. 2
• Heaven-Defying Comprehension 2
• Golden Branch and Jade Leaf — The trait that generated Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong as his protectors. 2 3

Soul Skills

• Dragon Descends Upon the World — Raises all of Jiang Yan's attributes by 100% and reduces the attributes of beast Martial Soul possessors and soul-bearing tool Martial Souls by 30% within a 100-meter radius. It can stack with domain abilities. 7 8
• Archaic Dragon Body — Second soul skill; raises all attributes by 200% and grants immunity to control, mental attacks, and negative effects while active. 24 29
• Dragon God's Prison-Shattering Strike — Third soul skill, also rendered as Dragon God Prison-Suppressing Strike; ignores defenses, cannot be resisted or evaded, and inflicts fatal damage on its target. 24 29 57

During his battle with Xie Xie, Jiang Yan invoked a first-soul-skill technique called Sovereign Over the World, also translated as Dominating the World, releasing Dragon God pressure across the academy. 21 57

Soul Spirit

Jiang Yan's soul spirit is Xiao Ba, originally a Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit soul that he absorbed for his first soul ring. By his graduation, Xiao Ba had developed into an eight-thousand-year Nine-Colored Tyrannosaurus Rex. 7 13 24

During the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform trial, Jiang Yan gained 7,500 additional years for Xiao Ba by defeating Soul Beasts and receiving their energy. This advancement elevated all three of his soul rings beyond ten thousand years. 68 70

Soul Bones

• Golden Sacred Dragon King Twin-Claw Bone — Jiang Yan's first absorbed soul bone. Its effects are primarily overwhelming numerical enhancements, which further amplify his already exceptional physical power. 29
• Hundred-Year Luo Sanpao Left Leg Soul Bone — Received as a system reward. 24 29
• Thirty-Thousand-Year Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Soul Bone — Kept in his system space. 24
• Fifty-Thousand-Year Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Left Leg Bone — Received as a graduation-mission reward alongside a ten-thousand-year Star Anise Ice Grass. 24

When combining his soul skills with his soul-bone enhancements, Jiang Yan can attain a 300% increase to all attributes and a further 300% increase to strength, allowing his physical might to reach roughly six times its ordinary level. 29

Physical and Spiritual Aptitude

At age six, Jiang Yan displayed extraordinary physical and spiritual measurements even without releasing his Martial Soul. 10

• Left-hand strength: 15,200 jin. 10
• Right-hand strength: 18,800 jin. 10
• Spiritual power: 326, reaching the Spirit Connection Realm. 10
• Entered deep meditation during his first cultivation session. 4

Combat Prowess

Jiang Yan's combat ability vastly exceeds the normal limits of his Soul Elder cultivation.

• At Rank 34, he effortlessly neutralized Wu Changkong's first two Soul Skills, blocked Skyfrost Slash with one hand, and used Flame Fist to pierce Wu Changkong's two-word Battle Armor and send the Soul Emperor flying. 39 40
• He damaged the three-word Battle Armor of Lu Li, a Soul Douluo, with Dragon God's Prison-Shattering Strike at only three rings. 57 58
• He killed a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast with a single claw attack inside the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. 68
• His Dragon God aura compelled a ten-thousand-year Vajra Ape to submit voluntarily rather than oppose him. 68 70
