Personality

Chu Feng initially approaches Fang Yan with restrained arrogance, trusting in his own high Blood Essence, speed, and unconventional techniques. After losing their Class A combat match, he openly acknowledges Fang Yan's strength and agrees to work with him. 18

He is practical and adaptable in dangerous environments. He contributes wilderness knowledge, prepares supplies in advance, recognizes when a retreat is necessary, and uses terrain and traps to improve his team's odds. 19 20 21

Chu Feng is also competitive but sportsmanlike. He seeks a full-strength duel with Fang Yan in the grade-level final, accepts defeat without resentment, and treats their clashes as opportunities to improve. 24 25

Story Role / Major Arcs

Class A Combat and Wilderness Trial

Chu Feng first faces Fang Yan in Kyoto UST's weekly practical combat competition. His poisoned needles, folding-fan attacks, and wind movement technique pressure Fang Yan, but Fang Yan restricts his mobility with ice and defeats him with Ice Dragon's Roar. Chu Feng accepts the result and agrees to cooperate in the upcoming wilderness trial. 18

At Black Wind Ridge, he provides scouting, survival knowledge, and an escape route when a Beast Tide overwhelms them. During the canyon ambush, he sets the trap and protects Fang Yan from an attack by the Bloodthirsty Wild Boar, enabling Fang Yan to kill it. 19 20

Misty Forest Mission

Chu Feng joins Fang Yan in eliminating the Misty Giant Python. His fire-attribute inner energy is used to counter the python's miasma, though his sword cannot easily penetrate its scales. The pair ultimately defeat the beast through coordinated attacks. 21

First-Year Martial Arts Competition

After reaching the third layer of the Blazing Sword Technique, Chu Feng advances through the first-year competition and meets Fang Yan in the final. He pushes Fang Yan with Fire Dragon Roar, but loses when Fang Yan answers with Ice Dragon Roar: Dual Ultimate Edition. He accepts defeat and is selected alongside Fang Yan, Lin Mengyao, and Li Hao for the National Collegiate Martial Dao League. 24 25

National Team and Frontline Service

Chu Feng trains with Kyoto UST's national team, improving his Blazing Sword Technique and flame temperature. He is injured during the Dark Demon Race ambush but recovers sufficiently to continue traveling with the team. 26 27 28

After Fang Yan wins the National Collegiate Martial Dao League, Chu Feng volunteers for the northern front lines with the other top contestants. He later becomes part of the Eagle Cub Assault Team and fights in the defense against the Dark Demon Race. 34 36 37

Defense of Black Wind Canyon

When Fang Yan leads an elite ambush force at Black Wind Canyon, Chu Feng commands the left-cliff team. A Black Wind Leopard wounds him during the battle, but he remains part of the defending force and follows Fang Yan's command during the later successful defense. 35 39

Trivia

• Chu Feng's first combat weapon is a folding fan rather than a conventional sword. 18
• His fire-attribute swordsmanship naturally contrasts with Fang Yan's ice-attribute techniques, making their matches a recurring fire-versus-ice rivalry. 21 25
• Although he begins as Fang Yan's opponent, he is repeatedly paired with him for dangerous field missions because their abilities complement each other. 18 19 21
