Background

Chen Feng transmigrated from Earth into a harsh feudal world and awakened an Experience System that converts new experiences into points he can use to advance skills. Before entering martial arts, he survived as a porter in Pingcheng's slums, where gangs extorted the poor through “management fees.” 1

He inherited the original owner's memories and grievances: the Chen family was ruined after Lin Jingshu, his former fiancée, became involved with Li Shuxian, while Lin Yan repeatedly humiliated and threatened him. Chen Feng joined the Dragon Walk Martial Arts School to gain the strength and backing needed to survive. 3 10

His extraordinary comprehension outweighed his merely Slightly Superior Root Bone. After displaying the Gold Style Splitting Fist, he became Zhou Bingzhong's registered disciple and later admitted his role in Lin Yan's death during Zhou's test of his character. Zhou accepted him as his sixth personal disciple. 5 11 12

Appearance

Chen Feng is a young, tall, strong-built martial artist with a resolute bearing. His appearance and status change sharply after leaving the slums and becoming Zhou Bingzhong's personal disciple. 7 18

• Wears Dragon Walk Martial Arts School disciple attire after being accepted as a registered disciple. 6
• Often carries an iron disciple token bearing his name. 6
• Uses fitted iron finger claws or knuckle weapons when preparing for combat. 16 36

Personality

Chen Feng is pragmatic, observant, and intensely survival-driven. He learns from professionals, scouts threats before acting, and rarely relies on blind confidence. His caution saved him from Xie Fei's drugging attempt, while his deductions exposed the maid and Xue Hai as traitors during Cheng Tingxue's escort. 26 29 37 38

He is capable of severe ruthlessness against people who threaten him or those under his protection. He murdered Lin Yan, later assassinated Lin Chong'an and Madam Zhang, and treats confirmed betrayal as deserving immediate death. 10 38 47

Despite this, Chen Feng values genuine kindness and loyalty. He remembers Meng Zhaowu's support, assists Meng Zhiwei without seeking payment, and chooses to protect Cheng Tingxue when others abandon her. 20 38 44

Abilities & Skills

Experience System

Chen Feng alone can see a status panel that records techniques and grants experience from encountering new activities, knowledge, emotions, combat, and instruction. Repeated experiences yield diminishing returns. 1

• Can spend accumulated experience to raise martial arts through their proficiency stages.
• Can bypass technique bottlenecks, allowing him to comprehend skills beyond what his current realm would normally support. 5
• Can record non-martial books and develop skills such as medicine, painting, and music. 42
• Experience is not unlimited; as his techniques and realm rise, advancement becomes increasingly expensive. 42 45
• Rapid skill increases can consume dangerous amounts of Blood Qi, as happened when he maxed out the Five Elements Fist. 21 22

Five Elements Fist Technique

Chen Feng's primary fist art, perfected by Chapter 50. It uses five styles corresponding to the Five Elements. 17 50

• Splitting Fist — Gold-aligned, sharp and fierce; used to drive force through a direct strike.
• Surging Fist — Water-aligned, soft and continuous.
• Horizontal Fist — Wood-aligned, tough and balanced between offense and defense.
• Cannon Fist — Fire-aligned, explosive and violent.
• Collapsing Fist — Earth-aligned, stable and mountain-like before releasing crushing force. 17
• Its advancement directly supported Chen Feng's Blood Refining progress, but forcing it before he had sufficient cultivation nearly damaged his foundation. 5 6

Tai Chi Profound Origin Technique

An internal cultivation technique formed from Chen Feng's perfected Simplified 24-Form Tai Chi Fist and Tuna Gong. It harmonizes Yin and Yang, nourishes the body's origin, and can generate Xuan Yuan Jin. 15

• Circulates autonomously and can supplement Chen Feng when his Blood Qi is depleted. 22
• Rapidly absorbs the medicinal power of Great Tonic Pills, allowing him to sustain prolonged exertion. 40 41
• Supports both offense and defense through adaptable force application.
• Its initial full upgrade overwhelmed Chen Feng so severely that he lost consciousness. 15

Mountain Splitting Palm Technique

A palm art provided by the Cheng family after Chen Feng protected Cheng Tingxue. He perfected it through the Experience System. 42 50

• Tempered the bones in his hands and forearms upon reaching mastery. 42
