Background / History

Shi Feng was the only person in the imperial capital who consistently treated the formerly powerless Long Chen as a brother. Though both were noble sons, Shi Feng stood far above Long Chen’s early reputation as a cultivator: he had reached Qi Gathering Eighth Heaven and possessed natural divine strength. 2

He repeatedly supported Long Chen before fully understanding the source of Long Chen’s sudden growth. He offered to confront Zhou Yaoyang on Long Chen’s behalf, staked his fine-steel saber on Long Chen’s first duel with Li Hao, and later pawned his weapons and armor to place a massive wager on Long Chen’s death-stage rematch. 2 3 8

Long Chen later gave Shi Feng a Condensation Pill—an exceptionally costly breakthrough pill—to help him enter the Blood Condensation Realm. Shi Feng successfully broke through and celebrated by hosting a banquet at the Gathering Heroes Tower. 13 23

Appearance

Shi Feng is a tall, imposing young man with a dark complexion. His size is notable even among Long Chen’s companions, although A’ Man dwarfs him. 2 23 34

• Tall and physically formidable. 2 8
• Dark-complexioned. 34
• Carries himself with a mountain-like, immovable presence in combat. 40

Personality

Shi Feng is fiercely loyal, straightforward, and protective of Long Chen. He does not hesitate to intervene when Long Chen is threatened, and he repeatedly risks his own resources and safety for his friend. 2 6 8

He values martial conviction over easy victory. During the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival competition, he entered early despite the burden of consecutive matches because he regarded the contest as cultivation for his martial heart. He states that he would rather die than surrender. 40

His loyalty can also override caution. Although Long Chen recognized Huang Shang’s provocation as a trap and ordered Shi Feng not to fight, Shi Feng challenged Huang Shang because he refused to tolerate insults toward Long Chen. 41

Abilities & Skills

Natural Divine Strength

Shi Feng possesses exceptional innate physical power, enabling him to overwhelm cultivators at comparable levels. 2

• Intimidated Li Hao, a Qi Gathering Triple Heaven cultivator, simply by appearing beside Long Chen. 2
• Threw a Qi Gathering Ninth Heaven opponent several yards with a single grip-and-throw during the Lantern Festival tournament. 40
• Combined physical strength with Blood Condensation cultivation to defeat eighteen consecutive opponents. 40

Martial Resolve

Shi Feng’s greatest strength is his firm martial heart and willingness to face adversity. 40

• Entered the Phoenix Cry tournament to temper himself rather than merely pursue its title. 40
• Continued fighting Huang Shang despite realizing the overwhelming gap between them. 41
• His defeat by Huang Shang was later described as painful but beneficial tempering for his growth. 46

Equipment / Items

• Fine-steel saber, valued at approximately eight thousand Gold Coins; used as Long Chen’s wager in the duel against Li Hao. 2
• Weapons and armor, later pawned to help finance a three-hundred-thousand-Gold-Coin bet on Long Chen’s death-stage duel. 8
• Jade Token bestowed by the Empress Dowager after he won the title of Phoenix Cry's Number One Warrior. 40

Relationships

• Long Chen — Closest friend and sworn brother in practice. Shi Feng defended him when others targeted him, wagered heavily on his duels, and fought Huang Shang over insults against him; Long Chen, in turn, gave Shi Feng pills and personally tended to his injuries. 2 8 13 41 46
• Fatty Yu and Monkey — Members of Long Chen’s close circle who supported Shi Feng during the Lantern Festival competition and helped care for him after Huang Shang injured him. 34 40 42
• Huang Shang — Enemy who severely defeated Shi Feng after baiting him into a public fight. 41
• Shi Feng's father — Welcomed Long Chen into the family home after the Lantern Festival and treated him as family because of his bond with Shi Feng. 47

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Li Hao duels — Stands beside Long Chen against Li Hao, offers his saber as collateral, and bets heavily on Long Chen’s victory in both arena confrontations. 2 3 8 9
• Cultivation breakthrough — Receives Long Chen’s Condensation Pill and later enters the Blood Condensation Realm. 13 23
• Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival — Reunites with Long Chen’s group, reveals his progress to peak Blood Condensation First Heaven, and enters the martial competition. 34
• Phoenix Cry's Number One Warrior — Defeats eighteen consecutive competitors, receives the Empress Dowager’s Jade Token, and is showered with flower wreaths by admirers. 40
• Huang Shang confrontation — Challenges Huang Shang in defense of Long Chen’s honor, suffers multiple fractures and internal injuries, and becomes the immediate cause of Long Chen accepting the death match. 41 42
• Recovery — Recovers under Long Chen’s care; despite the loss, Long Chen considers the ordeal valuable tempering for Shi Feng’s future growth. 46 47

Trivia

• Shi Feng was not yet eighteen when he reached the Blood Condensation Realm. 34
• His family was not wealthy; their straightforward temperament left them less successful in business than families such as Fatty Yu’s. 8
• He became covered almost entirely in flower wreaths after winning the Lantern Festival competition. 40
