Background / History

Ye Feng transmigrated from Blue Star and spent six years in a dazed state due to unstable soul fusion. His memories fully awakened shortly before his Martial Soul awakening, leaving him an impoverished orphan in Nuoding City wearing scavenged, patched clothing. 1

At six, he awakened the mutated Light and Shadow Body Martial Soul and innate level-seven soul power. Yu Xiaogang dismissed his potential, but Ye Feng calmly challenged the assessment and sought official certification from Su Yuntao instead. He declined to immediately join Martial Soul Hall, judging that its training system and the attention of Bibi Dong would be dangerous for a light-attribute soul master. 1 3

Needing food, shelter, money, and literacy, Ye Feng secured employment at the Red Romance Hotel. Manager Wang Dali provided room, board, and wages; Ye Feng worked by day, learned the continent's language at night, and cultivated in secret. 3 4 6

After reaching level ten, he entered Nuoding Academy as a work-study student. He defeated Aolan to become the leader of Dormitory Seven, then independently hunted his first soul ring in the Star Dou Great Forest despite the danger of a beast tide. 9 11 13 16

Ye Feng later graduated from Nuoding Academy, cultivated Heart Separation Control in seclusion, and developed increasingly destructive self-created soul skills. Before leaving Nuoding City, he ambushed Yu Xiaogang, stole the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges storage belt, and sold it through the Seven Treasure Shop. 24 25 27 28 30

In Silves City, Ye Feng invested heavily in strengthening his body with Whale Rubber and purchased Flowing Silver Battle Armor. He reached level twenty and entered the Sunset Forest seeking a millennium-level Light-Condensing Healing Flower, but was nearly killed by a Ghost Tiger. 35 37 39

Yue Guan saved Ye Feng and offered him a place in Martial Soul Hall. Ye Feng instead wagered his life on absorbing a millennium second ring; after surviving the eight-hour absorption, he became Yue Guan's disciple. He subsequently moved to a secluded residence in Martial Soul City, where Yue Guan and Gui Mei began supporting his cultivation. 40 42 43 44

Appearance

Ye Feng initially appears as a thin, ragged child in patched hempen clothes. After acquiring resources in Silves City and undergoing physical tempering, his appearance becomes notably refined and noble. 1 36

• Silver hair, described as soft in childhood and later draping over his shoulders. 3 36
• Clear, calm eyes; golden light can flash across his pupils during breakthroughs or after major absorption. 4 7 42
• Wears form-fitting Flowing Silver Battle Armor, giving him the appearance of a holy knight or prince. 36
• Uses disguises—including ordinary mercenary clothing, facial dye, a black robe, hood, and mask—to avoid recognition. 27 34

Personality

Ye Feng is composed, calculating, and intensely self-reliant. Even as a child facing poverty, dismissal, or danger, he prioritizes practical goals: securing shelter, learning the local language, acquiring cultivation methods, and preparing for soul-ring hunts. 3 6 11

He is highly cautious when confronting stronger opponents. Rather than directly fighting Yu Xiaogang while outmatched, he waits until he has the strength and opportunity to ambush him. He also conceals the details of his soul rings, disguises himself during travel, and keeps his connection to Yue Guan hidden within Martial Soul Hall. 12 20 27 34 43

Ye Feng is also ruthless when he considers it necessary. He kills Jiang Yi after their conflict in the forest, loots Yu Xiaogang after beating him unconscious, and fences the stolen storage tool for resources. 19 28 30

Despite this pragmatism, he values genuine kindness. He is grateful to Su Yuntao, Wang Dali, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, and he resolves to repay Yue Guan and Gui Mei by seeking ways to alter their fates. 3 7 43 46

Abilities & Skills

Light and Shadow Martial Soul

A mutated Body Martial Soul combining light and shadow. Its light attribute is notably pure and can be condensed into increasingly dense forms. The Holy Flame Grass later increases its light affinity by at least 20%. 1 21 46

• Produces golden light-attribute soul power with a grand and righteous aura. 7
• Its light possesses exceptional potential for compression and refinement. 21
• The shadow aspect deepens and becomes more solid during the Holy Flame Grass-induced evolution. 46
• Its light attribute was considered dangerous enough that Ye Feng feared Bibi Dong learning of it. 3

Radiant Body

Ye Feng's first soul skill, acquired from a roughly 350–360-year Radiant Lion soul ring. 16 20

• Increases strength and defense by 30%. 20
• Grants an additional 10% boost to light-attribute power. 20
• Raises his physical capabilities beyond those of soul masters at the same level. 20
• Is primarily an augmentation skill and does not provide control or a dedicated attack method. 20

Condensed Light Soul Healing

Ye Feng's second soul skill, gained from the millennium-level Light-Condensing Healing Flower. 42 43

• Restores and heals. 43
• Purges negative effects. 43
• Provides its effects at zero cost. 43
• Supports the sustained use of his soul-power-intensive self-created skills. 32 37

Heart Separation Control

A basic meditation and control method that Ye Feng adapts to the nature of his light-attribute soul power. 22 24

• Condenses light-attribute soul power into fine threads. 24
• Initially produces five threads of light after an overnight breakthrough. 24
• Enables the manipulation, guiding, and weaving of soul power rather than forcibly splitting mental power. 24 42
• Forms the control foundation for his Light Blade techniques. 25

Light Blade / Light-Gathering Blade

A self-created offensive technique that condenses multiple threads of light-attribute soul power into a physical blade. 9 20 25

• Can be wielded in melee or launched as a ranged attack. 20
• Ten converged light threads can form a blade capable of cleanly cutting bluestone. 25
• Its destructive power can rival a Power Attack System soul master's first soul skill. 25
• Can fire multiple blades, but four consecutive uses consume roughly two-thirds of Ye Feng's soul power. 25
• Yue Guan teaches him to compress, spiral, and fuse its power; the improved blade gains a metallic texture and spiral patterns. 45

Baptism of Holy Light

A powerful self-created soul skill developed before Ye Feng leaves Nuoding City. 27

• Can destroy an abandoned building. 27
• Produces overwhelming explosive force capable of blasting through a massive tree trunk. 38
• Requires more than half of Ye Feng's soul power for a single use at his then-current level. 32
• Is powerful enough to be ineffective as a repeatedly usable skill without a recovery ability. 32 37

Mental Resistance

Ye Feng possesses notable willpower and mental control.

• Resists Hu Liena's mental charm. 47
• Uses mental power to tame, guide, and weave the violent energy of his millennium soul ring during absorption. 42
• Endures extreme pain from Whale Rubber and soul-ring absorption without abandoning cultivation. 36 42

• Wang Sheng — Dormitory Seven student who, alongside Aolan and others, worries about Ye Feng's dangerous solo journey. 11 12
• Yu Xiaogang — Long-standing antagonist who belittles Ye Feng's Martial Soul and repeatedly attempts to direct his development; Ye Feng eventually ambushes, beats, and robs him. 1 11 22 27 28
