Background / History

Liu Tianfeng was sworn brothers with Xue Tianxing's grandfather. After the former Xue family head died and Xue Zhe inherited the throne, Liu remained in the Balak Palace as a Kingdom Enshrined, assisting Xue Zhe and protecting the family across three generations. Having no children of his own, he treats Xue Zhe as a son and Xue Tianxing as a grandson. 7

When seven-year-old Xue Tianxing set out for the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his third Soul Ring, Liu accompanied him without hesitation. He guided the expedition, protected Tianxing from danger, and met Flender and Oscar during the journey. 7 8

Liu initially tried to prevent Tianxing from absorbing the Ice Flame Roc's more-than-9,000-year Soul Ring, fearing the backlash would kill him. During the ensuing fight, he defeated and injured the roc while deliberately sparing its life because of its intelligence and because Tianxing had provoked it first. 12 13 When Tianxing nevertheless absorbed the ring, Liu was prepared to sever the connection to save him; the emergence of Tianxing's Six-winged Angel Martial Soul allowed the absorption to stabilize. Liu subsequently ordered Flender to keep Tianxing's Twin Martial Souls secret. 14

After learning that Immortal Herbs could break cultivation bottlenecks, Liu joined Tianxing in seeking the Breaking Clan's pharmacopoeia and the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well. Tianxing later gave him the Cold Star Grass Sword Immortal Grade, enabling his long-awaited breakthrough to Rank 90. 25 26 33

Liu traveled with Tianxing and Dugu Bo to the Land of the Extreme North to hunt his ninth Soul Ring. He was willing to distract the Titan Snow Demon King at the cost of his own life so Dugu Bo could escape with Tianxing. He later absorbed the Blizzard Wind Wolf King's more-than-80,000-year Soul Ring and, upon discovering Tianxing missing, immediately searched the region with Dugu Bo. 36 43

Appearance

Liu Tianfeng normally resembles an ordinary elderly man, but his posture and eyes reveal a veteran Spirit Master's sharpness.

• Wears a plain cloth robe. 7
• Carries an ancient-looking longsword at his waist. 7
• Keeps his hair tied with a wooden hairpin. 7
• Has eyes described as tempered cold stars, marked by battle-hardened sharpness. 7
• Conceals himself in a black robe when secretly guarding Xue Tianxing during the Continental Spirit Master Tournament. 155

Personality

Liu is deeply loyal to the Balak royal family and intensely protective of Xue Tianxing. His concern can override caution: he becomes visibly distressed when Tianxing attempts dangerous Soul Ring absorptions and panics when Tianxing disappears in the Land of the Extreme North. 12 14 43

Despite his sternness, he is affectionate and indulgent toward Tianxing, frequently calling him a “little rascal” while supporting his plans. He values talented allies, immediately recognizing Oscar's potential as a Food System Spirit Master and considering the value Oscar could bring to Tianxing and the kingdom. 8 25

He is also pragmatic and politically forceful. After learning that Heaven Dou secret guards targeted Tianxing and Dugu Yan, Liu resolved to confront Emperor Xue Ye rather than allow the Balak Kingdom to be treated as weak. 111
