Background
Jia Qingshan is the grandson of Jia Yunlong, the wartime martial artist known as “Dragon Fist.” He inherited Jia-style Xingyi Quan as its third-generation successor and became the master of the Kyoto Xingyi Martial Arts Hall, a Jia Family institution traditionally closed to outsiders 29 31.
His longtime friend Zhu Huazhi approached him after Jia’s nephew, Jia Yi, fell unconscious from RR Virus infection. Jia agreed to open the family’s martial arts inheritance to Wu Ming and Ruan Qingzhu in exchange for special medicine, later extending a place to Zhu Hongyu as well 29.
Appearance
Jia Qingshan is a middle-aged man with the composed bearing of an Internal Martial Arts master. Upon returning to the hall after his military assignment, he wears a Zhongshan suit 32 49.

- Carries a one-meter teaching whip while supervising stance training 34.
- Presents an imposing, precise demeanor when treating Jia Yi and instructing students 32 34.
Personality
Jia is strict, disciplined, and deeply committed to proper martial foundations. He corrects students’ Three-Body Stance errors immediately, using a teaching whip to ensure that correct posture becomes instinctive rather than theoretical knowledge 34.
Despite his guarded family tradition, he is pragmatic and compassionate. Jia accepts Wu Ming’s conditions because Jia Yi’s life is at stake, then gradually entrusts Wu with the Jia Family’s secret arts after recognizing his character and the value of Genetic Energy cultivation 29 35 36.
He places collective survival above personal inheritance. After witnessing the threat posed by mutant creatures, he agrees to provide the Jade Lock Golden Pass Formula and Five Hearts Toward Heaven method to the government, then serves as an instructor for the nation’s first Genetic Warriors 45 46.

Story Role
Opening the Jia Family Inheritance
Jia’s need to save Jia Yi prompts the first major opening of the family’s normally hereditary martial arts hall. In return for special medicine, he accepts Wu Ming and Ruan Qingzhu as trainees and permits Zhu Hongyu to join them 29.
Rescue of Jia Yi
When Wu Ming arrives in Kyoto, Jia puts Jia Yi’s survival before negotiations. He uses his martial and medical expertise alongside Wu’s medicine to guide Jia Yi safely through a life-threatening Gene Evolution surge 32.
Mentor and Cultivation Partner
Jia begins as Wu Ming’s strict instructor, teaching stance work and Xingyi fundamentals. After learning of Cosmic Energy cultivation, he becomes Wu’s partner in an exchange of knowledge: Jia offers Internal Martial Arts inheritances, while Wu provides the Five Hearts Toward Heaven method 34 35.
He gives Wu the Jade Lock Golden Pass Formula, teaches him advanced Xingyi methods, and later shares the Banda Secret Essentials. Wu’s extraordinary speed of learning repeatedly overturns Jia’s expectations of martial talent 36 37 40.
National Genetic Warrior Program
Jia’s breakthrough makes him the second confirmed Genetic Warrior. He joins Wu in presenting evidence to the government, then agrees to surrender key Jia Family cultivation resources for national defense against mutant creatures 41 42 45.
The state recruits him to train the first Genetic Warriors. He returns to the martial arts hall at the end of February after declining continued service as the military’s chief instructor 46 49 50.
