Background / History

Jia Paer trained in swordsmanship from childhood alongside fellow students. He once hoped to confess to the sole female student in his class after becoming the top student, but she died after falling down the classroom stairs; the incident left the “Supreme Great Stairs” as an ominous memory from his youth. 197

He became a renowned Sword Saint and later took students of his own. Though he initially shared the common prejudice against humanoids, he maintained that any opponent who wielded a sword deserved respect. His duel with the Demi-Human Sword Saint Ongji forced him to confront that belief: although Jia Paer won through superior physique and power, he considered Ongji the better person in the encounter. 151

Before his deeper involvement with Zane Dungeon, Jia Paer had limited magic ability and sought the Tear Drop Larva in hopes of changing his development. The dungeon instead gave him access to roguelike Blessings, melee magic, ancient classrooms, and weapons that broadened his fighting style beyond conventional swordsmanship. 143 196 200

His junior fellow disciple Kang Luode murdered Sword Saints, betrayed their master, and pursued power through Demon King and Evil God bloodlines. Jia Paer confronted him alone near Titan Fortress to avenge his master and fellow disciples. He defeated Kang Luode by combining Wolf Blood, dungeon-acquired magic, the Giant Club Staff, and the Silver Shield. 256 258

Jia Paer’s victory became widely publicized through an Image Stone recording. Uncomfortable with the attention and public adoration, he temporarily left Bede City rather than capitalize on his new fame. 259

Appearance

Jia Paer is an older but exceptionally powerful swordsman with a muscular physique, graying or white hair, and prominent gray eyebrows. He typically wears loose robes, though he readily discards formality—including clothing—when combat demands it. 198 482 717

• Has a physique strong enough to support extreme-speed swordplay and prolonged parrying. 198
• His hair flares and whips wildly when he burns Wolf Blood. 717
• Temporarily emerged from the Valley Bottom Forest noticeably balding after suffering Frenzy Flame-induced madness. 669
• Carries himself with the imposing presence expected of a Sword Saint, though his aura has softened since avenging his master. 583

Personality

Jia Paer is confident, competitive, and deeply enthusiastic about combat. He enjoys testing unfamiliar opponents and techniques, often treating dangerous dungeon encounters as chances to study swordsmanship, magic, or weapons firsthand. He is especially drawn to weapons; a temple filled with historic arms and armor captivates him enough that he avoids disturbing the dust on its displays. 151 199 715

Despite his reputation, he has a playful and occasionally vain streak. He enjoys flashy techniques, considers recording his own cool combat poses, loudly announces moves when no one is watching, and is highly protective of favored weapons such as the Stars Linked Sword. 143 197 198

He is a dedicated teacher who takes pride in seeing his trainees apply his instruction. He corrects the Strategy Team’s stances and movement during combat, teaches Da Er swordsmanship, and provides advice to Lu Lu Wo’s team even after repeatedly defeating them during dungeon invasions. 140 153 583

Jia Paer is also emotionally guarded. He insisted on facing Kang Luode alone as a matter of responsibility to his master, but he struggles to express concern for his daughter, You Fei. Their later reconciliation prompts him to become more openly attentive and considerate. 256 503

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship

Jia Paer is a Sword Saint whose core style combines refined technique, extreme physical strength, and high-speed aggression.

• Uses Flowing Water Stance, Wind Breaking Stance, and Giant’s Arm to push his speed to its limit. 151
• Combines those speed techniques with Accelerated Slash, a strike described as too fast for the naked eye to follow. 151
• Developed a powerful draw-slash technique after fighting Ongji; backed by his physique, it is compared to an attack capable of cleaving mountains and seas. 201
• Uses Starburst Stream Slash to unleash a dense barrage of sword light. 201
• Can kill enhanced Skeleton Warriors with increased sword-force even when other members of the team struggle against them. 147

Battle Qi, Aura, and Physical Ability

Jia Paer reinforces himself with Battle Qi and possesses exceptional physical perception.

• Uses Aura to detect nearby life forms and identify threats before visual contact. 210
• Maintains a protective Battle Qi barrier, though sufficiently powerful magic can pierce it. 201
• Has notable resistance to abnormal effects, including freezing; he endured the Stars Linked Sword’s cold-infused wounds without becoming frozen solid. 151
• Recovered visible injuries rapidly after clearing the roguelike level against Ongji. 151
• His strength, speed, and reactions allow him to parry or deflect attacks even while surrounded by synchronized Puppet Soldier assaults. 198

Grave Lord Blessings

Through the roguelike system, Jia Paer formed a connection to the Grave Lord faction.

• Grave Lord’s Swordsman enhances his swordsmanship but leaves his body more fragile. 140
• Grave Lord Servant increases his likelihood of receiving further Grave Lord Blessings. 143
• Grave Lord Greatsword Dance summons innumerable crimson blades from the ground, piercing nearby enemies and covering struck areas in a death aura that drains life force. 143
• Must hunt enemies and collect eyes before actively releasing the Grace after its initial use. 143

Magic and Incantations

Jia Paer initially wanted long-range battlefield magic, but most of his early spells were melee-oriented.

• Carian Greatsword — Condenses a magical greatsword for close-range strikes. 196 257
• Heimo Hammer — Learned from a defeated Heima Magician; creates a heavy magical hammer attack. 199 200
• Sun Fist — Produces a blinding flash with little killing power; highly effective against enemies with eyes but unreliable against opponents with strong resistance or prepared countermeasures. 200 201 206
• Incantations — Uses effects such as Erdtree’s Blessing for damage reduction and continuous recovery during major battles. 717
• His Intelligence is only barely sufficient for magic, limiting the strength of spells that cannot be enhanced through physical fitness. 201

Wolf Blood

Jia Paer can ignite the Wolf Blood within him to temporarily raise his physical performance to extraordinary levels.

• His acceleration becomes so extreme that Kang Luode cannot perceive his position during the initial activation. 257
• Enhances speed and reactions enough to evade Golden Order attacks and close distance against the Mimic Tear Tarnished. 717
• The amplification is temporary and fades during prolonged combat. 718

Slash Domain

Slash Domain is Jia Paer’s ultimate technique and the culmination of his martial and magical development.

• Integrates the slashes of Moonveil, the Stars Linked Sword, and the Night and Flame Sword with his own Unique Talent. 711
• Produces intricate, starlight-outlined slashes across targets caught within its range. 711 717
• First used it to eliminate a Calamity Shadow after enduring its frost-infused Wolf Assault. 711
• Can damage and pressure the Mimic Tear Tarnished, but does not guarantee victory against opponents with superior endurance, regeneration, or weapon versatility. 717 718

Divine Protections

• Silver Shield — A divine artifact that releases Topus’s Force Field to dispel legendary magic. 257 259
• Goddess’s Blessing — Neutralizes Kang Luode’s curse, which targets those holding negative emotions toward him. 258

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Stars Linked Sword — Jia Paer’s favored sword for much of his Zane Dungeon exploration; its starlight-linked effects can extend attacks through groups of enemies. 197 198
• Giant Club Staff — An indestructible giant-club-like magic catalyst usable even by those with low Intelligence; slightly boosts particular melee magic. 206
• Silver Shield — Divine artifact used to cancel legendary magic through Topus’s Force Field. 257 259
• Moonveil — A magic-compatible weapon gifted by King Bontou; Jia Paer later makes it his primary active blade while preserving the Stars Linked Sword in his collection. 668
• Student ID — Connects him to Magical Radiance, allowing him to receive Gandalf’s stored magical knowledge. 200
• Transfer Certificate — A permanent personal certificate that lets him access the real Raya Lucaria Magic Classroom, though it cannot transport teammates. 204

Relationships

• You Fei — His daughter. Their relationship became distant after the death of Jia Paer’s wife and his subsequent fixation on magic, but they reconcile while seeking a Tear Drop Larva to restore You Fei’s human form. 482 503
• Leon — Student and Strategy Team member. Leon respects Jia Paer as “Teacher” and helps him understand that You Fei needs support rather than pity. 140 503
• Da Er — Apprentice eager to learn swordsmanship from Jia Paer; Jia Paer later shows strong emotion when Da Er receives the Wolf Knight Greatsword and its Wolf Sword Technique. 153 251
• Kang Luode — Junior fellow disciple and enemy. Jia Paer pursues him to avenge their master and the Sword Saints Kang Luode killed. 256 258
• Sid — Adventurers’ Guild branch Guild Master and an old friend who worries about Jia Paer’s decision to duel Kang Luode alone. 256
• Gong Qiying — City Lord of Bede City and creator of Zane Dungeon. Gong Qiying observes Jia Paer’s dungeon runs, later decides to aid him before the Kang Luode battle, and welcomes his plan to bring You Fei to the dungeon. 143 255 259
• Tu Erqi, He De Si, and Luo Jieer — Magic Association explorers whom Jia Paer recruits to investigate the Raya Lucaria area and Lake Liurnia. 202 203
• Lu Lu Wo and her team — Recipients of Jia Paer’s informal dungeon guidance; he later offers to take Lu Lu Wo and Ta Mi as disciples. 583

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Roguelike System exploration — Acts as the Strategy Team’s experienced safeguard, tests the Grave Lord Blessing system first, and becomes the first person to clear the roguelike level. 140 151
• Demi-Human Sword Saint duel — Defeats Ongji but honors him as a worthy swordsman and uses his chipped longsword as a tombstone. 151
• Raya Lucaria Magic Classroom — Investigates the looping classrooms, becomes Gandalf’s assigned student, learns magic, and recruits Magic Association professors to explore the area. 197 203
• Lake Liurnia expedition — Leads and protects the professors’ party through the Living Dungeon while continuing to study magic, enemies, and the Academy’s hidden routes. 207 215
• Sword Saint’s Battle — Faces Kang Luode alone, counters his legendary magic with the Silver Shield, and becomes a public hero after the battle footage spreads. 256 259
• You Fei reconciliation — Rushes to protect his daughter, challenges her competitively rather than pitying her, and helps her obtain the special Tear Drop Larva that restores her appearance. 482 503
• Valley Bottom Forest ordeal — Is struck by Frenzy Flame, suffers temporary madness and a week-long coma, then returns to public life in time for the Sain Gratitude Festival. 669 671
• Night’s Domain — Battles Mimic Tears and the Mimic Tear Tarnished, deploys Slash Domain, and is ultimately defeated by Comet Azur despite fighting at full strength. 713 719

Trivia

• Jia Paer loudly shouted the name of Grave Lord Greatsword Dance when no one was present, finding the act both embarrassing and exhilarating. 143
• He initially dismissed melee magic as not being the ranged battlefield magic he wanted, but repeatedly found himself enjoying it. 200 206
• A Sain Gratitude Festival play reenacted his early Zane Dungeon adventures, including his embarrassing first death; Jia Paer was embarrassed enough to flee before watching You Fei’s performance. 671
• He keeps the Stars Linked Sword in his personal sword collection after learning its Ash of War, rather than continuing to use the weapon actively. 668
