Power Progression

Background / History

Childhood in Azure Village

Jiang Nannan grew up with Jiang Yi under Aunt Rou’s care. Her mother was widowed and suffered from a congenital heart condition. Although Nannan was excited about awakening her Martial Soul, she understood that the result could determine her family’s future. She hoped to become a Titled Douluo, provide a large home and good food for her mother and Jiang Yi, and cure her mother’s illness 1.

After both children awakened Soul Power, She Fei arranged places for them at Lingshan Junior Academy and offered accommodation in Spirit Mountain City. Lin Ye taught them meditation and helped them settle in. Nannan initially struggled with the prospect of staying away from her mother on the academy’s closed campus 3 4 5.

Training and Bloodline Research

Jiang Yi taught Nannan flexibility and agility exercises adapted from yoga. She also studied under Li Lingyu, whose research guided her toward Soul Rings compatible with the Soft Bone Rabbit’s ancestral bloodline 5 8 14 16.

Jiang Yi and Li Lingyu traced that bloodline to the Taiyin Moon Rabbit, an ancient divine beast associated with moonlight and spatial movement. Her first two Soul Rings both produced spatial abilities, encouraging Li Lingyu’s research into bloodline awakening. No completed bloodline awakening is documented for Nannan 12 15.

Shrek Academy

She Fei obtained a recommendation letter from Spirit Mountain City’s lord for Nannan to enter Shrek Academy. She initially refused to go without Jiang Yi, but accepted after he promised to join her. Their separation lasted nearly a year while he struggled to overcome his level-ten bottleneck 17 23 26.

At Shrek, Nannan became Tang Ya’s roommate and won first place in the freshmen competition. Her elusive movement earned her the nickname Gui Mei Moon Shadow, while her appearance and reserved manner established her reputation as the outer academy’s “number one beauty” 26 27 28 38.

She reunited with Jiang Yi in Shrek City, celebrated his breakthrough, and kissed him on the cheek before returning to the academy. His exceptional admission subsequently placed him in her class, allowing them to study together again 27 28 30 31.

Holiday Return and Advancement Assessments

During the holiday, Nannan visited Li Lingyu’s laboratory, where he explained the Soft Bone Rabbit’s bloodline attributes and advised her on a future fourth Soul Ring. She also noticed her mother’s improved appearance after Jiang Yi cured Aunt Rou’s heart deficiency with life essence 32 33.

When an Evil Soul Master attacked Azure Village, Jiang Yi sent Nannan and Aunt Rou to Spirit Mountain City to fetch help while he approached the village 35.

After returning to Shrek, Nannan defeated a thousand-year Black-Eyed Bear in her individual advancement assessment. She used an offensive Soul Tool on Jiang Yi’s advice and passed with an announced score of 120, despite a thirty-point deduction for using it 37 38 39.

Her classmates then selected her, Jiang Yi, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi to fight three level-forty-five Soul Ancestors. Nannan helped bring down Huang Yun and Li Tianyu, but exhausted her Soul Power and moonlight power with her third Soul Skill. Jiang Yi defeated the remaining opponent, Xing You, securing the team’s victory 41 42 43 44.

Appearance

Nannan is repeatedly described as exceptionally beautiful, attracting attention both as a child and at Shrek Academy. At six, after awakening her Martial Soul, she is approximately 1.3 meters tall; absorbing her first Soul Ring makes her noticeably taller again 5 12 14.

• Hair and clothing: Wears her long hair in a neat ponytail with a pale yellow training outfit during her first Soul Ring expedition. Other appearances include a white cotton robe, a long red New Year skirt, and Shrek’s white school uniform 6 12 16 23.
• Martial Soul Possession: Her eyes turn red, her ears lengthen and develop fluffy white hair, and her figure becomes more slender beneath a faint red glow 3.
• Moonlight effects: During her first ring absorption, her fur and then her entire body glow silver, and her form becomes translucent. Later, her fair skin appears to radiate moonlight when she uses her movement ability 13 28.

Personality

Nannan is affectionate and playful with Jiang Yi and her mother, but often cold toward unfamiliar boys. She dismisses Zhou Long’s attempt to befriend her and cares little about the admiration of Shrek’s male students. Tang Ya’s teasing exposes the contrast between her public aloofness and her eagerness to see Jiang Yi 5 17 26.

Her trust in Jiang Yi is unusually strong: she readily accepts his Soul Ring recommendations and adopts Soul Tools despite Shrek’s disapproval. That trust does not prevent her from complaining about their long separation, but her resentment disappears when she sees his exhaustion and recognizes how difficult his breakthrough has been 12 27 39.

She is protective of loved ones and attentive to their distress. She promises to care for Jiang Yi when his cultivation prospects seem poor, worries about him during their first hunt, and remains concerned for Tang Ya after her friend’s emotional outburst over cultivation advice 3 13 41.

Abilities & Skills

Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul

• Allows her to cultivate faster under moonlight 15.
• Reduces the Soul Power cost of Moon’s Instant when used under moonlight 14.

• Range: Approximately fifty meters 14.
• Initial limit: Two teleports in a short period at the cultivation level she possessed upon acquiring it 14.

• Applications: Closing distance, attacking from behind, evasion, and disengagement 14 39 42.

Second Soul Skill: Speed and Afterimages

Her unnamed second skill combines a speed increase with spatial repositioning 15.

• Instantly increases her speed by 50%.
• Creates three afterimages at places where she stops during high-speed movement, concealing her actual position among them.
• Lets her shift between the afterimages before they disappear.
• Each shift consumes substantial Soul Power and immediately removes one afterimage 15.

Third Soul Skill: Moon Blade Attack

Nannan gathers silver light above her head and releases Moon Blades over her opponents 42.

• Used against Huang Yun and Li Tianyu while they are falling during the team assessment 42.
• Plays a crucial role in the team’s defeat of the two Soul Ancestors 43 44.
• Its demonstrated use consumes all her remaining Soul Power and moonlight power; a standard repeat-use limit is not established 43.

Agility Combat and Soul Tool Use

Nannan combines unpredictable movement with rapid attacks against vulnerable areas 38 39.

• Uses flexibility and agility exercises taught by Jiang Yi as part of her training 5 8.
• Against the Black-Eyed Bear, strikes its neck, ankles, paws, arms, and back before withdrawing beyond its frenzied counterattacks 39.
• Uses an offensive Soul Tool to compensate for insufficient attack power against heavily protected opponents 39.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Shrek Academy recommendation letter — Written by Spirit Mountain City’s lord and delivered by She Fei to support her enrollment 17.
• Planned medicinal support — Jiang Yi intends to give her a Mystic Water Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill. He expects the latter to raise her from level thirty-three to thirty-four, but neither consumption nor that advancement is confirmed in the supplied account 47.

Relationships

• Jiang Yi — Childhood sweetheart and fellow member of Aunt Rou’s household, not a blood relative. Nannan calls him “Brother Jiang Yi,” trusts his cultivation advice, and openly shows affection for him. She later agrees to supervise his dangerous underwater training and pull him out if he cannot endure it 1 12 28 31 49.
• Aunt Rou — Mother. Nannan’s early ambitions center on improving her mother’s life and curing her illness; separation from her initially makes academy life difficult 1 4.
• Li Lingyu — Teacher and cultivation adviser. Helps obtain her first Soul Ring, researches her Martial Soul’s bloodline, and prepares recommendations for future rings 12 14 32 33.
• She Fei — Financial supporter and educational patron. Arranges her early schooling and Shrek recommendation, while hoping her future strength will repay his investment 3 14 17.
• Tang Ya — Roommate and close friend. They tease each other about Jiang Yi and Bei Bei, and Nannan worries about Tang Ya’s cultivation difficulties 27 41.
• Bei Bei — Classmate and teammate in the assessment against the three Soul Ancestors 41 42 44.
• Xu Sanshi — Classmate and assessment teammate. Their successful cooperation brings the group closer, and he invites them to celebrate afterward 42 44 45.
• Zhou Long — Childhood classmate whose interest she rejects. His jealousy of her closeness to Jiang Yi later leads him to challenge Jiang Yi 5 16.
