Power Progression

Background / History

Transmigration and Childhood

Jiang Yi was a recent university graduate on Blue Star who went to sleep after work and awoke as an infant on the Douluo Continent. Familiarity with the first three original Douluo novels helped him identify his new world as the Peerless Tang Sect era. He worried about Tang San’s continuing influence and whether his arrival had attracted attention 1 7.

His father, Jiang Ping’an, was a border soldier who died when Jiang Yi was one. Jiang Nannan’s father, Jiang Yun, died in the same conflict. Both men requested Martial Soul awakening opportunities for their children instead of compensation, and their commanding officer granted the request. Jiang Yi’s mother died of grief three years later, after which Aunt Rou took him in 1.

Awakening and Li Lingyu’s Disciple

Although Jiang Yi initially awakened Blue Silver Grass without Soul Power, the Custom Achievement System gave him enough power to begin cultivating. She Fei arranged academy places and housing in Spirit Mountain City for Jiang Yi, Jiang Nannan, and their household 3.

At Lingshan Junior Academy, Jiang Yi discovered that nearby Blue Silver Grass could amplify his Photosynthesis ability. His library research subsequently led him to Li Lingyu’s work on bloodline awakening. Jiang Yi proposed using compatible Soul Rings and Soul Bones to activate a Martial Soul’s bloodline before extreme training; impressed, the level-sixty-five Soul Emperor accepted him as a disciple 6 10 11.

Breaking the Level-Ten Limit

Jiang Yi spent years strengthening his body and cultivating, but his level 0.1 Innate Soul Power left him trapped at level 9.9. After Jiang Nannan departed for Shrek Academy, he concentrated on overcoming this restriction 15 16 17.

His first attempt used Li Lingyu’s mind-enhancing medicine and an enormous influx of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy. Li Lingyu interrupted it before Jiang Yi’s body collapsed completely. After further organ tempering, Jiang Yi tried again, using the surrounding grass’s vitality to repair his injuries while attacking the bottleneck. His success brought Martial Soul evolution and the Innate Soul Power increase he had long sought 18 19 23 24.

Exceptional Admission to Shrek

After obtaining his First Soul Ring, Jiang Yi reunited with Jiang Nannan in Shrek City. Li Lingyu enlisted Wang Yan’s help to secure an assessment, and Jiang Yi’s thousand-year First Soul Ring earned him exceptional admission without completing Shrek’s first year. He joined Jiang Nannan’s Class One on the semester’s final day 26 27 28 30.

During the subsequent advancement assessment, he defeated a thousand-year Blood-Red Baboon and received a perfect score of 150. He later helped Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi defeat a team of three higher-year Soul Ancestors. His sacred-attribute vines overcame Xing You’s Black Mist, and Shrek formally awarded him core disciple status 40 41 44.

Protecting Azure Village

On a New Year visit home, Jiang Yi discovered an Evil Soul Master preparing to massacre Azure Village. He sent Jiang Nannan and Aunt Rou to safety and requested reinforcements before confronting the attacker himself. Killing the two-ring Evil Soul Master earned him the golden Demon-Slaying Reserve achievement and its Holy Mark reward 34 35 36.

He then helped three village children awaken their Martial Souls, though none possessed Soul Power. Before leaving, he asked Li Lingyu to check on the village 36.

Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire and Second-Ring Preparations

Shrek’s leadership recruited Jiang Yi to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire after learning of his sacred attribute. He negotiated a substantial payment in cultivation resources, then acquired an achievement that allowed his Blue Silver Grass to resist and absorb flames 46 47 48.

After reaching level twenty, he undertook seven days of extreme underwater training at Blackwater Lake and earned Abyssal Baptism. He suspended the training because each session consumed the rest of his day and could make a future bloodline awakening harder to trigger. During Ma Xiaotao’s next treatment, he converted her Evil Fire into life force, attracting Elder Zhuang’s attention 49 50.

Appearance

• Childhood appearance: Handsome, with eyes whose worry and anticipation make him seem unusually mature for a six-year-old 1.
• Clothing: Wears a long gray robe at his introduction and black robes during academy life 1 6 16.
• Holy Mark: A golden, longsword-shaped mark appears on the back of his right hand. He can conceal both the mark and its outward holy presence 36.

Personality

Jiang Yi is methodical and resource-conscious. He builds detailed cultivation plans, studies reference works, and experiments with his existing abilities to trigger achievements. Before approaching Li Lingyu, he investigates the teacher’s character; afterward, he reveals Photosynthesis while presenting it as an innate Martial Soul ability rather than exposing its system origin 6 9 11 31.

His determination can become dangerous stubbornness. He refuses to accept the limits imposed by his Innate Soul Power and risks his life attempting to break through them. After his first failure, he recognizes that he acted prematurely but remains committed to succeeding 16 18 19.

He is deeply grateful to those who raised and supported him. He cures Aunt Rou’s heart condition, offers life essence to Li Lingyu, and intervenes against Azure Village’s attacker rather than abandon the villagers. He also gives Tang Ya cultivation advice without demanding payment, while bargaining aggressively when Shrek needs his help with Ma Xiaotao 33 35 36 40 41 46 47.

Abilities & Skills

Custom Achievement System

The system recognizes Jiang Yi during his Martial Soul awakening and grants rewards for meeting achievement conditions. Its rewards include skills, talents, titles, physical improvements, Martial Soul evolution, and increased Innate Soul Power 3 12 24.

Photosynthesis and Plant Networking

Photosynthesis improves his absorption and conversion of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy while his Martial Soul receives sunlight. Linking it to ordinary Blue Silver Grass expands this effect into Group Photosynthesis, producing far more energy than his normal cultivation 5 6.

• Grass-Headed Emperor: Earned after connecting with more than a thousand plants; lets him command nearby Blue Silver Grass and share its vision 8.
• Soul Power Synchronization: Earned after establishing circulation with more than ten thousand blades of grass; replenishes his energy through the network 31 32.
• Life Infection: Allows his Blue Silver Grass to assimilate ordinary plants 31 32.
• Reconnaissance: Locates a Silver Moon Fox that escaped by transforming into moonlight 13.
• Limits: The network depends on available Blue Silver Grass, while his spiritual power governs how extensively he can connect with it. Excessive energy intake can exceed his body’s capacity 6 18 32.

His planned Second Soul Ring would rapidly grow a field of Blue Silver Grass, supplying the environment needed to combine these abilities. This remains a plan in the supplied chapters, not an acquired Soul Skill 32 50.

Life-Force Manipulation

Borrow Life and Restore Vitality establishes life links with Blue Silver Grass and allows Jiang Yi to draw on its vitality 31 32.

• Uses collective plant vitality to repair injuries during his successful breakthrough 23 24.
• Extracts life essence over more than twenty days without draining the donor plants; it cures Aunt Rou’s congenital heart deficiency and accumulated injuries 33.
• Offers the remaining essence to Li Lingyu to test against his training injuries 33.
• Uses life force to break down and absorb Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire 50.

Blue Silver Grass Combat

His evolved Martial Soul becomes stronger and more flexible, developing golden leaf edges. After the Ancient Hemlock ring, it thickens into inky-blue vines with grayish-white veins and more noticeable golden threads 24 26.

• Hemlock Power: His First Soul Skill places the vines in Hemlock Form, tripling their strength and toughness while greatly enhancing vitality and regeneration—even severed vines can root and sprout again 26.
• Grass Trip: Uses very little Soul Power to wrap a target’s legs and instantly disrupt balance. Its effectiveness drops sharply against targets above Soul Elder level 13.
• Restraint: Binds and strangles a thousand-year Blood-Red Baboon unconscious 40.
• Fine control: Manipulates dozens of vines simultaneously to clean his dormitory 37.

Holy Mark and Flame Conversion

The Holy Mark adds a sacred presence to Jiang Yi’s Martial Soul and provides an advantage against evil-aligned opponents 36.

• Holy Spirit Mark: Heightens his ability to detect Evil Soul Masters 36.
• Purification rewards: Each purification of evil slightly purifies and strengthens spiritual power and permanently increases its recovery speed by 10% 36.
• Sacred vines: Burn through Xing You’s Black Mist and force his surrender 44.
• Fire immunity and absorption: A later achievement makes his Blue Silver Grass immune to fire and able to absorb flames to grow stronger 48.
• Purification of side effects: Removes the abnormal heat caused by consuming Whale Rubber after the system treats it as poisonous fire 49.
• Pact of Clarity: Helps Ma Xiaotao manage her Evil Fire but does not eliminate her need for treatment 50.

Body Tempering and Abyssal Baptism

Jiang Yi’s self-developed Soul Power Body-Tempering Method uses exercise to refine stored energy through his blood, muscles, meridians, and organs. Li Lingyu supports it with medicinal baths, meals, and spiritual-power medicines 8 12.

• Defeats the one-ring Zhou Long through physical strength before acquiring his own First Soul Ring 16.
• At level sixteen, delivers a full-strength attack that Xuan Zi judges capable of threatening a Soul Elder 29.
• Abyssal Baptism: Temporarily enhances physical attributes and spiritual power upon reaching his limits; its 50% physical boost supports his planned absorption of an over-age Second Soul Ring 50.
• Provides a stackable 0.1% improvement, but each trigger makes reaching his limit slightly harder 50.
• Extreme training remains damaging and exhausting despite his strong body and recovery resources 49 50.

Soul Ring Age Enhancement

• Ten-Year Soul Beast Collector: Adds ten years to the age of any Soul Ring he fuses with 21.
• His First Soul Ring changes from yellow to purple after fusion, becoming a thousand-year ring 26.
• Thousand-Year Soul Beast Collector: Adds one thousand years in his proposed Second Soul Ring plan. Combined with Abyssal Baptism, he considers absorbing a four-thousand-year ring and raising it to five thousand years achievable; he has not yet done so 50.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Level 3 Soul Tool dagger — Cuts through iron and can emit a blade of light. At his then-current cultivation, Jiang Yi can use it only as a physical weapon 22.
• Milk Bottle — Restores his Soul Power during Jiang Nannan’s first ring hunt 13.
• Storage Soul Tool — Holds cultivation supplies, including his Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue 47.
• Mystic Water Pills — Improve cultivation speed, talent, and spiritual power; repeated doses have sharply diminishing effects 46 49.
• Soul Ascension Pills — Supply the Soul Power used to reach level twenty 49.
• Whale Rubber and Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue — Strengthen his body and increase the age of Soul Ring he can withstand. He eventually develops resistance to Whale Rubber 49.
• Li Lingyu’s medicines — Include mind-enhancing medicine, medicinal baths, and recovery resources used during body tempering and extreme training 12 18 50.

Relationships

• Jiang Nannan — Childhood sweetheart raised alongside him, not a blood relative. She supports his cultivation, kisses his cheek after their reunion, and assists with his dangerous lake training. He shares cultivation resources with her 1 28 31 50.
• Aunt Rou — Adoptive guardian and Jiang Nannan’s mother. Jiang Yi regards their shared household as home and later cures her congenital heart condition 1 6 33.
• Jiang Ping’an — Father; his final request secured Jiang Yi’s chance to awaken a Martial Soul 1.
• Jiang Yi’s mother — Died of grief three years after his father’s death 1.
• Li Lingyu — Master, research collaborator, and protector. Provides private instruction, medicines, combat training, ring-hunting assistance, and the connections needed for Jiang Yi’s Shrek admission 11 12 16 25 28.

• Wang Yan — Li Lingyu’s junior brother; assesses Jiang Yi, supports his exceptional admission, and reports his achievements to Shrek’s leadership 28 30 44.
• Bei Bei and Tang Ya — Fellow students who seek his Blue Silver Grass cultivation advice. Bei Bei is grateful for his guidance; Jiang Yi encourages Tang Ya to choose compatible life-attribute rings rather than imitate Tang San 40 41.
• Xu Sanshi — Classmate and battle teammate whose friendship with Jiang Yi develops through their class assessment 40 44.
• Ma Xiaotao — Receives his Evil Fire treatments. In return, she helps him with cultivation resources and stands guard while he refines them 47 49 50.
• Qiaona and Azure Village’s villagers — Childhood community whose earlier kindness motivates his continued support and defense of the village 1 34 36.
