Background / History

Lin Feng awakens in Wancheng City after transmigrating into the body of a youth whose father, Demon Suppression Division Squad Leader Lin Zhan, had recently been killed by a Demonic Beast. The original Lin Feng died from grief and exhaustion after learning of the death. Having inherited both his memories and emotions, Lin Feng resolves to protect his only remaining family member, his younger sister Lin Qingxue. 1

Eligible to join the Demon Suppression Division through Lin Zhan's recommendation, Lin Feng reports to the Qingshan City branch as a Body Tempering Third Layer martial artist. Platoon Leader Lu Gang attempts to force him to surrender the valuable position, but Lin Feng refuses despite the pressure of a Houtian Realm aura. 1 2

At the Training Ground, Lin Feng discovers his proficiency Status Panel. By drawing a bowstring or firing arrows, he can accumulate Archery proficiency and raise the skill beyond normal limits. This system becomes the foundation of his rapid growth. 3

Lu Gang later attempts to assassinate him and reveals that Lin Zhan was killed after discovering one of Captain Zhao's secrets. Lin Feng begins pursuing the truth behind his father's death while building enough strength to resist Zhao's influence. 19 21 23

Appearance

Lin Feng is a young man whose appearance strongly resembles his father, Lin Zhan. After the Corrupt Heart Lotus Gu destroys his clothing, his body is described as lean and well-defined rather than bulky. 4 138

• Initially wears the standard equipment of a Demon Suppression Division archer. 2
• His trained physique possesses conspicuous, streamlined musculature. 138
• Commonly carries a bow, arrows, and later increasingly high-grade Demon Suppression Division weapons. 36 92 152

Personality

Lin Feng is intensely protective of Lin Qingxue and treats gaining strength as necessary for both their survival. He refuses Lu Gang's offer to abandon the Demon Suppression Division because its resources and opportunities are essential to protecting his sister. 1 2

He is cautious around people connected to his father's death, noting Sergeant Zhang's evasiveness and Captain Zhao's possible involvement rather than trusting appearances. 4 21 23 He is also pragmatic in cultivation: he accepts resources and alliances when they advance his goals, but declines Liu Xi's recruitment after recognizing the envoy's greed. 34 39 100 101

In battle, Lin Feng remains unusually composed. He will deliberately endure enemy attacks to farm Iron Shirt proficiency, including attacks from Xiantian Realm opponents and Black Lotus Cult techniques. 93 94 138 Outside combat, he can be diplomatic, proposing cooperation with the Cultivation Sect and defusing disputes over treasure rather than allowing unnecessary infighting. 203 453

Abilities & Skills

Proficiency Status Panel

Lin Feng possesses a transmigrator's “golden finger”: a Status Panel that records skills, proficiency, cultivation, and talents. Repeated practice or relevant combat increases proficiency, allowing skills to level up far faster than conventional cultivation. 3 14

• Drawing a bowstring grants Archery proficiency. 3
• Taking blows and enduring attacks raises Iron Shirt proficiency. 14 29 93
• Refining True Qi Pills while circulating the Inner Scenery Qi Condensation Art raises both cultivation and the technique's proficiency. 58
• Some skill upgrades grant talents; other arts, such as Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm, have fixed caps and provide none. 36 57

Archery

Lin Feng begins as an amateur archer but quickly develops into a long-range combatant capable of killing enemies beyond his cultivation realm. His early performance includes shooting through targets from one hundred paces and killing a Second-Order Snake Demon. 4 11

• Infallible Shot, Swift Shadow Soul Chaser, and Toxin are among his early archery talents. 14
• Powerful Shot increases the power of his arrows tenfold. 22
• His fifth-grade bow and arrows are rewarded after he wins the Seed Pool assessment. 152
• Great Heavenly Thunder Archery Technique is a sixth-grade art capable of killing Xiantian Ninth Layer demons with one shot, but Lin Feng can only use it twice before exhausting his True Qi. 152 157

Iron Shirt

Iron Shirt is Lin Feng's core body-tempering art and the main source of his extraordinary defense. He cultivates it by repeatedly striking or being struck with increasingly dangerous force. 14 15

• Copper Skin, Iron Bone, and Steel Tendons progressively strengthen his body; Steel Tendons grants a fivefold boost to strength. 14 15 17
• At Lv5, Iron Shirt allows him to withstand the Bronze Man Formation and awakens Averting Evil, which reduces demon attacks against him. 29 30
• Thick Skin further enhances his defense after he kills the Boar Demon. 51
• He survives repeated attacks from Xiantian Mid-stage Zuo Yongnian, using the damage to increase his proficiency. 93 94
• Rampage restores him to peak condition and can temporarily raise his realm by three layers. 95 157 158
• He later gains the Vajra Profound Armor Skill following an Iron Shirt upgrade. 173

Inner Scenery Qi Condensation Art

A third-grade cultivation technique granted by Elder Han after Lin Feng enters the Houtian Realm. It accelerates True Qi refinement and can be upgraded continuously. 55 57

• At Lv4, it refines True Qi at 1,000 times the normal rate. 60
• At Lv5, it reaches a 10,000-fold refinement multiplier. 85
• Its speed enables Lin Feng to consume thousands of True Qi Pills and advance multiple cultivation layers in hours rather than years. 84 116

Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm

A third-grade palm art in which seven successive palm forces converge into a single strike. It has extreme power but a fixed Lv3 cap. 36

• Lin Feng reaches Minor Success in two days and Great Success two days later, far faster than Captain Zhao's recorded three-hundred-day path to full completion. 40 41
• He uses it to kill the Second-Order Boar Demon and to decisively injure Black Lotus Cultist Mo You. 51 88
• Combined with Demon Suppression, its power can rival higher-grade martial arts against Demonic Heretics. 95

Elephant Swallowing Nine Revolutions Fist

A fifth-grade fist technique gifted by Second Demon Suppression Envoy Xie Qiu for saving Xie Wanyun. It is designed for body-refining martial artists and grows stronger with the user's physical body. 112

• Lin Feng perfects it in only a few days. 118
• He uses it to kill three Xiantian Seventh Layer Black Lotus Cult Altar Masters. 139

Demon Breaking and Subduing Seal

A fifth-grade palm art obtained as a Seed Pool assessment reward. 152

• Lin Feng reaches Lv5 in three days. 156
• The technique is stronger than the Elephant Swallowing Nine Revolutions Fist and carries additional destructive power against demons. 156

Movement Techniques

Lin Feng combines innate speed talents with formal movement arts to evade or rapidly close distance.

• Gale permits instantaneous flash-like movement. 95 156
• Star Treading Leap Skill, a fifth-grade martial art, is cultivated to perfection in three days and significantly increases his speed. 152 156
• He uses the Star Treading Leap Skill to cross distances like a meteor and intercept Liu Xiong. 176

Demon Suppression

Demon Suppression appears after Lin Feng kills Black Lotus Cultists. It directly multiplies his attack power against Demonic Heretics. 88

• Lv1: 10× attack power against Demonic Heretics. 88
• Lv2: 20× attack power against Demonic Heretics. 88
• Lv4: 40× attack power against demons after the Black Owl extermination. 131

Primordial Ancient Body

Lin Feng awakens the Primordial Ancient Body, an Earth-grade Spiritual Body, after undergoing baptism through the Heaven-grade Heavenly Illumination Mirror. 159 160

• It strengthens him in same-realm combat but is considered difficult to cultivate and activate. 161
• The physique requires immense True Qi and is regarded as having a difficult path beyond the Xiantian Realm. 161
• Unlike an ordinary Primordial Ancient Body, Lin Feng's can evolve; he believes its final form is the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. 160 161
