Biodata

Physical Description

Lu Feng is a young man with a well-defined, muscular physique, a result of years of rigorous body tempering 4 7 17. He possesses a distinctive purplish-red mark on his chest, roughly the size of a teacup, which appeared mysteriously 4.

• His muscles are clearly outlined 4.
• He is described as a "teenager" and a "young man" 20 29 47 48.
• He is eighteen years old 20.

Background

Lu Feng grew up in an ordinary family in Xiangyang Residential Area, an old neighborhood, living in a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment 3. His parents were ordinary factory workers who struggled financially, often scrimping and saving, and had not bought new clothes for three years to afford his martial arts high school education 2 19. Lu Feng also has a younger sister, Lu Mingxue, who suffered from congenital spinal neuromuscular damage and used a wheelchair 2 19. He was deeply motivated to improve his family's situation, enduring immense pain and self-abusive training for three years to get into a Martial University, believing it was the only way to change their lives 1 2.

His efforts led to a score of 625 points on his college entrance exam, securing him a spot at a Martial University 1. However, this achievement was unjustly stripped away when Zheng Tong, the grandson of the Vice City Lord of Jinzhou, used his family's influence to take Lu Feng's spot 1 3. Lu Feng's homeroom teacher, He Qing, was fired for advocating on his behalf 2. After confronting the principal, Lu Feng was arrested and later kidnapped by Zheng Tong, who revealed that Lu Feng's family and friends had been killed due to his actions 2. Following a rebirth, Lu Feng initially chose to give up his spot to protect his family from Zheng Tong's power 3. His parents were unaware of the injustice, believing he simply didn't get into college, which caused a rift in their relationship as they worried about his future and his father faced ridicule from colleagues 4 19. Lu Feng later discovered a mysterious purplish-red mark on his chest 4.

Power Progression

Abilities

Exotic Beast Taming and Control

Lu Feng possesses a unique, innate ability to tame and control exotic beasts, which manifests through a birthmark on his chest 6 20. When he looks at an exotic beast, especially those of Tier 3 and above, they become docile, quiet, and even prostrate themselves as if seeing a deity 5 10 15 20. This ability works even on violent beasts injected with Rage Agent 10 11. The process of taming can be instant, causing raging beasts to calm immediately 9. This unusual efficiency in taming has drawn suspicion from military officers 17. Lu Feng has demonstrated the ability to control multiple high-tier exotic beasts simultaneously, even making them fight to a draw in an arena 12. He can also control leader-class Tier 4 exotic beasts, a feat considered impossible by beast tamers 50.

• Applications:
  • Instantly calms violent exotic beasts 9 15 20.
  • Can manipulate the outcomes of beast fighting matches 17.
  • Tames exotic beasts for military merit points 13.
  • Controls Tier 4 exotic beasts for use as mounts or in combat 50.
• Limitations:
  • The ability causes intense burning pain in his chest, which increases with the tier of the beast 11 12 20 39.
  • The capacity of his mark to absorb energy expands as his cultivation realm improves 15 43 49.
  • Higher-tier beasts, such as a lord-class Drill Bull, cause significantly more pain 39.

Energy Absorption

Lu Feng's birthmark allows him to absorb energy from exotic beasts, which he can then convert into his own cultivation 6 8 11 15. This process is painful but accelerates his martial arts advancement 8 11 15 43. The energy absorbed from exotic beasts is crucial for breaking through his cultivation realms 8 29 43. He can sense exotic beasts within a ten-kilometer radius, allowing him to locate and absorb their energy efficiently 43.

• Applications:
  • Accelerates cultivation and realm breakthroughs 8 15 29 43.
  • Can be used to fill his birthmark's energy capacity for later conversion 15 43 49.
  • Allows him to gain strength from multiple beasts in quick succession 43 49.
• Limitations:
  • Only works on exotic beasts of Tier 3 and above, as lower-tier beasts do not contain true cosmic energy 13 29.
  • The mark has a limited capacity, and once full, it cannot absorb more energy until converted 11 15 29 49.
  • Absorbing energy from higher-tier beasts, especially leader-class or lord-class, causes intense pain 12 39.
  • If he absorbs too much energy from a beast, it can be drained dry and lose combat effectiveness 15 29.
