Background
Xu Hanfeng was a university student in his previous life before transmigrating to Douluo Continent. After his parents died, he survived alone in an impoverished village by behaving with a maturity far beyond his apparent age. 1
His Martial Soul awakening revealed the Douluo Compendium, a card-based ability that immediately gave him a permanent soul skill, Giant’s Grasp, and the means to activate Character Cards. He used Giant’s Grasp against a corrupt village chief, then ordered Tang Ya to ensure the man’s death, establishing his willingness to eliminate threats decisively. 2 3
Unable to use Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill, Xu Hanfeng relied on cultivation methods remembered from his past life. The Dantian Foundation Establishment Technique successfully cultivated Soul Power, while the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill enhanced his physique and raw strength. 3 16
Appearance
Xu Hanfeng first appeared as a fair, round-faced boy with porcelain-like skin, bright eyes, and a distinctly cute appearance. 1 As he matured, he was described as a refined, sharply featured youth with sword-like brows, starry eyes, a high nose, and an unusually composed bearing. 406
- His appearance repeatedly draws attention from peers, nobles, Soul Masters, and goddesses alike. 54 79 410
- His combat presence changes drastically when he equips the multicolored Dragon battle armor. 119
- He is commonly perceived as calm and handsome even while provoking opponents or displaying overwhelming power. 39 314
Personality
Xu Hanfeng is ambitious, calculating, and highly conscious of the importance of power. Early on, he considered paths toward godhood and treated his academy enrollment, alliances, and public challenges as strategic steps toward expanding his influence. 5 11 38
He remains calm under pressure, including when confronted by Qian Renxue, Spirit Hall, Tang Hao, and hostile sects. He is also openly provocative, frequently exploiting rivals’ jealousy or personal weaknesses—such as Yu Tianheng’s feelings for Dugu Yan and Liu Erlong’s attachment to Yu Xiaogang. 14 76 101
Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies, Xu Hanfeng is protective of his companions and distributes valuable cards, soul bones, weapons, and battle armor according to their needs. He values teamwork and regards his Character Cards as an increasingly real group rather than disposable tools. 14 18 199

Early Card System Development
After awakening the Douluo Compendium, Xu Hanfeng rapidly built his first team around Tang Ya, Ma Xiaotao, Ning Tian, and Wu Sido. He cultivated independently, sought rare resources, and began treating the card system as a long-term route to godhood. 3 5 8 14
