Background / History

Childhood and Combat Ambitions

Jiang Xia grew up playing with Lu Fang while his father served as the Lu family's butler. He regards Lu Fang as a brother and believes that Lu Fang's parents have always treated both him and his father well 1 32.

Before awakening, Jiang Xia fears receiving a lifestyle class and having to follow his father into butler work. He instead wants to fight otherworldly races on the front lines, level up, and discover what lies beyond level 100 1.

Awakening and the Initial Dungeon

Despite trembling before his turn, Jiang Xia awakens as a Sharpshooter and rushes back to celebrate with Lu Fang. He subsequently defends Lu Fang against Wang Yixing's boasting and enthusiastically congratulates his friend's own awakening 2 3 5.

In the Initial Dungeon, Jiang Xia clears eight floors and earns a B rating. The eighth stage pits him against one hundred ironhide bears, which he wears down through exhausting combat. He returns with a torn uniform but remains delighted with his result 11 12.

Blood Wolf Association Attack

When Lu Fang moves to join the battle against the Blood Wolf Association, Jiang Xia and Wang Yixing try to restrain him. Jiang Xia clings to his friend with tearful eyes, fearing that someone who has only just awakened will be killed. He is left speechless when Lu Fang summons ten Money Ghosts and turns the battle around 16.

After the Guard Team secures the school, Jiang Xia leaves with Lu Fang 22.

Fangfang Chamber of Commerce Dispute

Following the disappearance of Lu Fang's parents, Uncle Jiang asks Jiang Xia to help persuade Lu Fang to rest. Jiang Xia proposes taking half a day off and offers to buy him a meal, worried that relentless dungeon grinding is becoming his way of coping with the news 31.

During the executives' attempt to take control of the Fangfang Chamber of Commerce, Lin Man offers resources suited to Jiang Xia's class in exchange for his father's cooperation. Jiang Xia throws the gift box onto the floor, shattering the potion, and condemns the offer as an attempt to buy their betrayal 32.

Although his father's explanation of level-200 professionals shakes his confidence, Jiang Xia continues to believe Lu Fang may win the proposed confrontation. He attends the battle with Uncle Jiang, protests the executives' intimidation tactics, and celebrates when Lu Fang forces them to concede 33 44 48. Afterward, he recognizes that the chamber's remaining leadership has submitted to Lu Fang's authority 49.

Appearance

• Approximately Lu Fang's height, with slightly dark skin and a broad smile revealing white teeth 1.
• Wears a school uniform; after the Initial Dungeon, it is slashed, while his hair is disheveled and his face covered in sweat and dust 11.

Personality

Jiang Xia is outwardly carefree but emotionally sensitive. His fear of awakening an unsuitable class contrasts sharply with his uninhibited joy after becoming a Sharpshooter: he jumps and calls out to Lu Fang without caring about the surrounding crowd 2.

His loyalty outweighs his desire for strength. Although the executives offer resources that could improve his early development, he refuses to accept them at the cost of betraying Lu Fang. His protectiveness also leads him to challenge Wang Yixing's provocations and physically stop Lu Fang from entering what he believes is a fatal battle 3 5 16 32.

His trust in Lu Fang comes from growing up alongside someone he considers consistently levelheaded and outstanding. That trust does not eliminate his anxiety, particularly when he learns how large the gap between advancement tiers can be 33.
