Background / History

Lin Fei began undergoing medicinal baths at the age of three, before his bones had fully set. This early conditioning gave him access to medicinal resources far superior to those available to ordinary trainees. He mastered the basics of the Soul Whale Fist in three days. 25

By the time Lin Ye joins the branch, Lin Fei serves as its head coach. He is responsible for correcting the students’ fundamentals, evaluating their potential, and preparing promising trainees for advancement within the hall. 18 20 25

Appearance

Lin Fei is a tall, athletic young adult who appears to be in his early twenties. His refined appearance contrasts sharply with his explosive physique and intimidating presence. 18

• Approximately 1.75 meters tall. 18
• Long black hair worn in a simple high ponytail; Lei Long states that he grew it out to commemorate his mother. 18 20
• Wheat-colored skin, long legs, and sharply defined, lean musculature. 18 19
• Usually wears rimless glasses and a black training suit; also wears a thin gold necklace with a silver oval pendant. 18 19
• Has a youthful voice that does not sound particularly feminine. 18

Personality

Lin Fei is forceful, confident, and highly demanding as an instructor. He does not tolerate poor teaching or weak effort, physically punishing Lei Long for failing to properly explain the Soul Whale Fist and docking his salary to compensate the students. 18 19

His methods are often harsh and theatrical, but he takes genuine interest in exceptional students. He identifies Lin Ye as the highest-potential member of the batch, gives Lin Ye, Yan Yi, and Wei Qian intensive private training, and improves their conditioning through medicinal baths and treatment. 20 25 30

Lin Fei is also eccentric and mischievous, openly enjoying the discomfort caused by his training and massages. Despite this, he carefully observes his students’ personalities, judging Lin Ye’s questions as an attempt to determine his own “ecological niche” rather than merely seek instruction. 20 26

Story Role / Major Arcs

Correcting Lei Long’s Instruction

Lin Fei arrives at the Whale-Kill Boxing Hall and publicly disciplines Lei Long for teaching the Soul Whale Fist incorrectly. He then personally explains the first three levels of the art and promises each student a medicinal bath at Lei Long’s expense. 18 19

Training the New Students

Lin Fei refines the students’ power output through painful hands-on instruction. He identifies Lin Ye, Yan Yi, and Wei Qian as the only members of the batch he can confidently expect to reach the third level. 20

Special Training

After Lin Ye demonstrates perfect force application and reveals that he mastered the basics in five days, Lin Fei gathers Lin Ye, Yan Yi, and Wei Qian for private training. The sessions focus on combat adaptability, endurance, and exploiting weaknesses. 25

Departure to the Main Hall

After two weeks, Lin Fei concludes the special training and declares that the three trainees now possess combat experience comparable to long-term students. He then leaves for the main gym on a mission, while telling Lin Ye to continue progressing toward the second and third levels. 30
