Background / History

Jiang Shaoxu studied at Ancient Capital Academy for roughly a year, sharing a field-training mission and the subsequent main-campus period with Mu Bai and Zhou Sining. Mu Bai remained in regular contact with her, invited her to hunt Undead at the Outer City Wall, and occasionally met her privately 188 268.

She abruptly left after her exchange program ended. Mu Bai’s messages went unanswered, and she eventually deleted her social media accounts. When they reunited abroad, she explained that a family matter had forced her departure 268 269.

Her family background remains undisclosed. Ai Jiangtu knows who her family is, but Jiang Shaoxu refuses to explain it to teammates, saying her family forbids her from discussing it. During the Feiniao City investigation, she angrily considers calling her father for help before accepting the restrictions of the team’s secret training mission 187 310.

Appearance

Jiang Shaoxu is introduced as an eighteen-year-old with an unusually mature air, combining youthful beauty with a languid, confident manner 59.

• Full red lips, a high nose, and glistening, foxlike eyes are her most prominent facial features 59.
• An eye-catching figure remains noticeable even beneath a covering outdoor jacket 59.
• Short legs contribute to her difficulty keeping pace while fleeing the Blue Valley Fierce Beast 210 211.
• By her reunion with Mu Bai, she appears more mature and deliberately uses her expressions and movements to heighten her allure 268.

Personality

Jiang Shaoxu is openly flirtatious and enjoys provoking reactions. She repeatedly teases Mu Bai into blushing and becoming speechless, flirts with Zhou Sining despite his relationship, and immediately flirts with Mu Nujiao after being rescued by her. Her teasing crosses gender boundaries, but the story does not establish a romantic relationship with either woman or man 186 210 268 364.

She takes pride in her Mind Element and initially considers herself one of the Qinling team’s strongest members. Zhou Sining’s destruction of an entire Demon Beast nest shakes that confidence; later, Mu Nujiao’s early advancement leaves her openly envious. Her own elimination against Spain likewise frustrates her because she had just raised her Spiritual Power to the Fourth Realm 64 213 363.

Beneath the playful manner, she is practical and attentive to others. She devises a plan under attack, recognizes Lu Yilin’s fear of exposure, stays with an emotionally unstable Mu Bai, and leaves clear signals when abducted. She also reacts angrily to Feiniao City’s failure to protect families from the infant disappearances 62 187 250 270 296.

Abilities & Skills

Mind Incantation: Fear

Jiang Shaoxu uses fear to disrupt hostile groups rather than relying on direct destructive magic 62 293.

• Freezes nearby Woodland Demon Slaves before sending them into panic; their fear spreads through the surrounding group 62.
• Uses the resulting disorder to identify the nest’s Warrior-level leader 62.
• Frightens fleeing Red Ornament Guild members while Zhou Sining restrains them with Space magic 293.
• Limit: The Woodland Demon Slave leader restores his followers’ aggression with intimidating roars, preventing fear alone from resolving the encounter 62.

Heart Ripple and Emotional Perception

Her Mind Element lets her examine emotions and notice changes in another person’s mental state 249 269.

• Heart Ripple: An Intermediate Level 3 emotional probe that exposes Lu Yilin’s deception 249.
• Distinguishes fear of danger from fear of being exposed, helping reveal Lu Yilin’s betrayal 250.
• Senses Mu Bai’s sudden drop in mood when the Ancient Capital Cataclysm is mentioned, though she misidentifies the source of his distress 269.
• Recognizes that Li Yu’e’s contradictory SOS and phone call likely indicate Pei Li has taken control of her mind 308.
• Limit: Emotional perception does not automatically reveal the cause of an emotion; Lu Yilin’s eventual confession supplies the details of his actions 250 269.

Soothing and Hypnosis

Jiang Shaoxu can attempt to calm others and is capable of hypnosis 194 250 270.

• Nan Jue’s rescue plan calls for her to hypnotize Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu so their souls can enter an independent world 194.
• Attempts to calm Mu Nujiao during Lu Yilin’s interrogation, but cannot overcome her intense anger 250.
• Tries Soothing on Mu Bai after painful memories destabilize him; when it fails, she changes her approach and helps him release his emotions through crying 270.
• Limit: She explicitly distinguishes temporary magical relief from curing deep psychological trauma 270.

Mind Wave and Mental Marks

Her mental interference can prevent spellcasting, control marked targets, and support tracking 297 302.

• Uses Mind Wave to lock Jiang Yu down and win their duel after her armor blocks his shadow cat’s attack 302.
• Places mental marks on the surviving Red Ornament Guild members at Vanilla Village to control them 297.
• Later detects one of those marks near South Suburb Town, revealing that some marked criminals escaped the factory confrontation 297.
• Is assigned to lure Monster Birds into Zhou Sining’s attack range with Mind Wave; afterward, he criticizes her for failing to provide the expected lure 285 287.

Light Element

Light is Jiang Shaoxu’s secondary element 210 302.

• Zhou Sining identifies Light Blessing as a direct counter to Jiang Yu’s Shadow Element cat when assessing their duel 302.
• Mobility limitation: Neither her practiced Mind nor Light magic provides a speed boost, leaving her dependent on equipment when fleeing 210 211.

Practical Skills

• Wilderness experience: Joins Mu Bai’s Qinling mission partly on the strength of her prior survival experience 59.
• Japanese proficiency: Helps the team navigate Japan; the men find it harder to get around when she leaves with the women in Osaka 198.
• Escape signaling: Leaves a trail of conspicuous arrows during her abduction, including one painted by a vacant-eyed billboard painter 296.
• Travel planning: Proposes reaching Japan by ship when the team is stranded without identification or travel documents 172.

Equipment / Items

• Defensive Magic Equipment — Shields the Qinling trio from thrown bone clubs and buys time for her fear-based plan 62.
• Boot Magic Equipment — Fast enough to outrun a Warrior-level creature, but insufficient against the Commander-level Blue Valley Fierce Beast 210 211.
• Triangular Water Mirror — Converts Magic Energy into defense. Keeps her alive against more than a dozen Red Ornament Guild mages until her reserves are nearly exhausted 296.
• Armor Magic Equipment — Blocks Jiang Yu’s shadow cat’s killing blow during their duel 302.
• Thought Stone — Gift from Mu Bai that supports her Spiritual Power growth; she later uses it to reach the Fourth Realm 302 363.
• Borrowed Mana-Recovery Magical Artifact — Mu Nujiao lends it to her after the factory rescue. Jiang Shaoxu asks to buy it, but Mu refuses 296.

Relationships

• Mu Bai — Former university friend and field-training teammate. His feelings for her persist after her unexplained departure; she greets him affectionately on their reunion and later stays with him through an emotional crisis. She nevertheless describes them as simply friends when Mo Fan suggests a romantic history 268 269 270 364.
• Mu Nujiao — Close friend, frequent shopping and dining companion, and rescuer. Jiang Shaoxu flirts with her after the Blue Valley Fierce Beast incident; Mu later follows her distress signals and frees her from the Red Ornament Guild 198 210 295 296.
• Zhou Sining — Former classmate and repeated combat ally. She resents his introduction of her as merely a classmate after their shared danger, though she later privately characterizes their old connection in similar terms. He helps rescue her from both the Blue Valley Fierce Beast and the factory ambush 81 210 268 296.
• Jiang Yu — National Team teammate and duel opponent. Her Mind attacks and defensive armor give her a decisive victory over him 302.
• Ai Jiangtu — National Team captain. Knows her family background and reminds her not to compromise the secrecy of their training 187.
• Zu Jiming — Teammate who abandons her during the Blue Valley Fierce Beast pursuit rather than helping her escape 210 211.
• Lu Yilin — Distrusted teammate. She rejects him from Mu Nujiao’s battlefield group and later exposes his deception about Zhou Sining’s disappearance 234 249 250.
