Background

Ye Feng was born into an ordinary Chana Empire family. To give him a chance of passing the ability screening for Dihua Ability Institute, his family forcibly implanted the unique Giant Shield Mantis gene into him while he was young. 1344

He entered Dihua as a quiet Gene Academy disciple with prior swordsmanship experience. After Yu Jing aided him, Ye Feng introduced himself and offered future assistance, beginning their friendship. 100 180

During the Silent Hill operation, Ye Feng signed Ning Yanzhi's Perfect Devil Contract. The contract initially left him sleepless and tormented by a voice in his mind, while demonization produced mantis-like blade arms, horns, extreme regeneration, and violent shifts in temperament. 155 176

Appearance

In ordinary form, Ye Feng is stern and reserved, often dressed in dark clothing and carrying a black-bladed saber. His black eyes become especially sharp when he draws a weapon. 187 503

• The Giant Shield Mantis development later leaves two blue markings on his cheeks and enhances his perception. 933
• Demonization turns his skin black, covers it in dark-red barbs, and manifests horns. 155 612
• His complete demon form develops a black-scaled tail, immature horns, chains beneath the skin of his back, and traits associated with Duriel's Torment bloodline. 1050
• After further refinement, he can restrain his demonic aura and appear as an ordinary swordsman. 1372

Personality

Ye Feng is low-key, taciturn, and intensely disciplined. Although he lacks the exceptional background of many contemporaries, he never wastes an opportunity to cultivate and directs every resource he gains toward improving his saber. 1344

His demonic power does not erase his humanity. Dean Wuxin considers him the most rational and powerful among the Demon Followers: capable of wielding Duriel's strength while retaining human subtlety and precise saber technique. 1165

He values loyalty and repays assistance without hesitation. Yu Jing's purchase of Yan Sha convinces Ye Feng that he owes his contemporary a lasting debt, while his combat decisions repeatedly prioritize protecting allies such as Su Die and Men Qian. 524 785 1208

Abilities & Skills

Demonic Physiology

The Perfect Devil Contract, Duriel bloodline, Heart of the Demon, and Yan Sha collectively fuel Ye Feng's demonization.

• Produces black skin, barbs, horns, mantis-blade arms, and greatly enhanced physical strength. 155 524
• Provides exceptional regeneration; he once consumed his own left arm to restore his body, then regrew it with demonic healing and treatment. 364
• The Heart of the Demon circulates pure demonic blood, healing injuries and boosting his body when active. 613
• His advanced form manifests Duriel-related chains on his back that mitigate damage from behind. 1050
• Early contract use caused insomnia, mental disturbance, and intrusive demonic voices. 176
• Ghost State strains him severely; forcing its duration against Yi Kun left him unconscious with extensive internal injuries. 1345 1350

Saber Techniques and Blade Intent

Ye Feng is a dual-wielding saber specialist whose style emphasizes dominance, direct killing power, and slaughter.

• Uses techniques including Hell's Funeral, God Slaying Spear, Vicious Tiger Consecutive Slashes, Endless Hell: Drawing Sword Slash, and One-Blade Style: Black Demon. 612 1316 1482
• His One-Blade Style: Great Black Hell can manifest blades from the ground and threaten Yi Kun through a combination of destructive force and blade intent. 1345
• At Soul Entry Stage, his saber can cut into souls rather than merely damage physical bodies. 1483
• By the opening of the new term, his blade intent reaches Great Accomplishment. 1638

Mabhas the Exile

Mabhas is Ye Feng's ghost creature, merged into his Heart of the Demon after surviving Duriel's torment.

• Unyielding Will — strengthens mental fortitude and protects him from resentment-based interference. 1052 1341
• Mastery of All — accelerates his learning of skills, weapons, languages, and knowledge, though true bottlenecks still require personal comprehension. 1052
• Initially classified as a Newborn ghost creature with 51% mental integrity. 1052
• Appears as a withered demon and can merge with Ye Feng during combat. 1208
• Ye Feng promised Mabhas that, after reaching the level of the Seven Demon Kings, he would enter Hell's core and complete Mabhas's unfinished mission. 1052

Giant Shield Mantis Gene

The hereditary gene modification originally enabled Ye Feng's entry into Dihua Ability Institute.

• Enhances perception when activated. 933 1311
• Contributes to his early mantis-like blade-arm manifestation during demonization. 155
• Represents the foundation of his strength before the demon contract and later demonic inheritances. 1344

Equipment

• Demon Crystal Core — Yan Sha — Crimson demonic embedded weapon with a great demon's will; forms a saber from Ye Feng's right arm and grows with him. Yu Jing obtained it for him at auction for 17,000 Black Coins. 523 524 612
• Heart of the Demon — A Heart Forging Chamber creation implanted in Ye Feng's body; serves as the core of his advanced demonic transformation and houses Mabhas's Ghost Bead. 613 1052
• Merciless Evil Blade — Mid-grade Ghost Soldier awarded for winning the Elite Training Program. It was later destroyed in battle. 179 813
• Black Blade — Replacement black saber carried after the destruction of the Merciless Evil Blade; used alongside Yan Sha in his dual-wielding style. 813 1165
• Living Demon Armor — High-grade armor obtained from Silent Death Hospital; can absorb dangerous substances, though Ye Feng sometimes sacrifices it for a more attack-focused loadout. 612
• Soul-Protecting Pendant — Loaned to him by Yang Yu to stabilize his resolve and defend against soul-based threats. 364

Relationships

• Yu Jing — Close contemporary and trusted ally. Their friendship begins after Yu Jing helps Ye Feng, and Ye Feng vows to answer any future call for help after Yu Jing secures Yan Sha for him. 100 524
• Ning Yanzhi — Fellow disciple who gave Ye Feng the Perfect Devil Contract and later ran Dark Force elimination missions with him. 176 226
• Su Die — Fiancée and daughter of the Chana Empire's foremost arms-manufacturing family. Ye Feng was severely injured protecting her during the Sin Tower operation. 785 1173
• Laili.Belzebub — Demon-affiliated ally whose advances Ye Feng initially avoids out of commitment to Su Die; they later cooperate to defeat a hidden BOSS and are described as a couple by other participants. 942 977 987
• Men Qian — Frequent teammate and combat medic. Men Qian's rapid surgery and healing allow Ye Feng to fight aggressively despite his tendency to accumulate severe injuries. 685 1208 1484
• Mabhas the Exile — His bonded ghost creature. Their pact is tied to Ye Feng's eventual journey into Hell's core. 1052
• Hao Long — Tests Ye Feng under a gravity field, then recognizes his endurance and skill by inviting him onto his team. 1383 1384

Story Role / Major Arcs

Silent Hill and Elite Training

Ye Feng endures the Perfect Devil Contract during the Silent Hill operation, using his new demonic regeneration to overpower an Observer despite death energy eroding his body. 155

Although Special Commissioner Liang excludes him from the Gene Academy's nominations, Ye Feng wins the Elite Training Program's final vote and proves his compatibility with the Merciless Evil Blade by drawing it. 179

Yan Sha and the Zede Family Conflict

At the Underwater Demonic City auction, Ye Feng resonates with Yan Sha and is recognized as a potential successor to the Seven Demon Kings. Yu Jing, Men Qian, and Tie Xing pool resources to purchase it for him. 523 524

He later uses Yan Sha to cut through Shen Yang's spatial stripping and shield Yu Jing from a spreading spatial-annihilation sphere, suffering damage while forcing a path through the attack. 550 551

Ghost Soldier Competition

Ye Feng faces Yu Jing in the Ghost Soldier Competition armed with Yan Sha, the Merciless Evil Blade, and the Heart of the Demon. His offense surpasses Yu Jing's, but Yu Jing ultimately wins and advances to the top three. 612 613 614

Hellish Journey and Mabhas

Ye Feng returns alone to Silent Death Hospital to complete Guan Li's unfinished solo storyline, The Path to Forging the Heart of Hell. 1051

In Hell, he obtains Mabhas's core, merges it into the Heart of the Demon, and accepts Mabhas's condition to someday enter Hell's core. 1052

Ten Prodigies Challenges

Ye Feng's Ghost State and saber skill allow him to push Yi Kun into using his Normal Ghost Fusion and Yin defenses. His strongest slash severely injures Yi Kun, but the strain ends his Ghost State and leaves him unconscious. 1344 1345

He later succeeds in an arena challenge and becomes the Ninth Seat of Dihua Ability Institute's Ten Prodigies. 1160 1165

Interstellar Battles

Against Xian-Pass, Ye Feng uses blade intent to expose and sever ghost-energy lines, winning with Endless Hell: Drawing Sword Slash and One-Blade Style: Black Demon. 1482

He then faces Pasi and her true-clone ability. Despite being specifically countered, severely injured, and overwhelmed by thousands of clones, he identifies the true body and wins before collapsing. 1483 1484

Transfer to the Language Academy

Ye Feng's transfer becomes a point of conflict between Dean Long and Dean Wuxin. Dean Wuxin swears that no coercive method was used, while Dean Long ultimately accepts that the Language Academy may offer Ye Feng a better path of development. 1686

Notable Quotes

“So what if I'm specifically targeted! ... For the first battle, I must win!” 1483

Trivia
