Background / History

Zhao Feng was First High School’s foremost competitor in the Jiangnan City mock assessment. Known as the “Thunder Sword,” he was considered a peak Quasi-Martial Artist and demonstrated 1,588 kg of strength during the assessment’s strength test. His performance led many spectators to expect that he would take first place. 7

He ultimately placed second in the citywide mock assessment with 1,050 points, behind Lin Feng. Rather than dismissing Lin Feng’s achievement, Zhao Feng regarded him as a worthy opponent and expressed his intention to fight him in the Martial Arts Examination finals. 11

During the provincial qualifiers, Zhao Feng kept pace with Lin Feng through the Cloud Climbing Ladder, reaching its 999th step alongside him despite extreme gravity. 27 28 In Phantom Beast Alley, the two formed a brief, practical partnership: Zhao Feng took on the Skeleton Warrior and two-headed Demon Lizard while Lin Feng fought the Ghost Siren. Zhao Feng destroyed both of his assigned opponents and exited the trial alongside Lin Feng. 28 29

After both advanced through the Arena Qualification Battle, Zhao Feng directly acknowledged Lin Feng’s lightning techniques and reaffirmed his desire to fight him at full strength in the provincial finals. 29 They later entered the Myriad Phenomena Battlefield together as members of the Jiangnan City team. 31

In the battlefield’s core region, Zhao Feng fought a third-tier lower-grade Golden Flame Suanni alone. His precise swordsmanship allowed him to endure against the beast, but its physical superiority pushed him into a disadvantage until Lin Feng intervened; Zhao Feng delivered the finishing strike after Lin Feng severely injured it. 41 Zhao Feng subsequently shared four drops of Star Origin Spiritual Milk with Lin Feng and Qin Wushuang after their contest. 42

Zhao Feng faced Lin Feng in the provincial finals’ semifinal. He forced Lin Feng into an extended defensive battle with relentless sword attacks and ultimately deployed his strongest technique, Endless Sword Prison. Lin Feng broke the technique with Wind-Thunder Annihilation, defeating Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng accepted the outcome and formally conceded, stating that he was convinced. 47 48

Appearance

Zhao Feng is commonly seen carrying an ancient long sword on his back. His bearing is cold and restrained, while his gaze and surrounding aura are repeatedly compared to a drawn blade. 31 43 47

• Carries an ancient long sword with a clear, cold blade. 43 47
• Usually maintains a calm, stern expression even under pressure. 7 11
• His Sword Intent manifests as an intensely sharp, oppressive presence. 42 47

Personality

Zhao Feng is a focused and prideful swordsman whose confidence rests on his own skill rather than boasting. He remains composed after placing behind Lin Feng in the citywide mock assessment and treats Lin Feng as a rival worth confronting directly. 11 29

He is driven by a strong competitive spirit and refuses to yield under pressure. On the Cloud Climbing Ladder, he continued climbing despite being bloodied by the sixfold gravity; against the Golden Flame Suanni, he persisted despite being outmatched physically. 27 41

Zhao Feng also shows clear respect for strength. He cooperates with Lin Feng when necessary, recognizes Lin Feng’s defense after the Star Origin Spiritual Milk contest, and accepts his semifinal defeat without excuses. 28 42 48
