Background / History

Chen Kefa served as captain of the Jiang City Public Security Bureau’s Special Investigation Team, a demanding position that repeatedly kept him away from his wife Du Qionghua and newborn son Chen Yan. He carried a heavy killing aura from his work and felt guilty over the strain his absences placed on his family. 2 4

When Chen Yan displayed extraordinary strength as an infant, Chen Kefa personally examined him with vital energy and found that the child possessed 305 units of vital energy at only one hundred days old—already above most Amateur Third-Rank martial artists. He recognized Chen Yan as an unprecedented prodigy rather than treating him as an anomaly to be feared. 6

Chen Kefa sought Grandmaster Wang Anguo’s help for Yu Lei, a teammate whose condition weighed heavily on him. Wang later offered Chen Kefa a chance to join the front-line military; Chen Kefa ultimately left his captaincy and volunteered for the Black Wind Rift frontline, where his strength rose rapidly. 31 35 87

At the Black Wind frontline, Chen Kefa and Druck survived severe injuries in a beast lair, used rare medicinal plants to recover, gathered sixth-tier beast cores, and uncovered records concerning Beast Kings, their advancement ritual, and the Beast God. 64 65

Determined to return to his family, Chen Kefa attempted the dangerous Divine Firmament Tribulation Sword technique. He endured successive tribulation-lightning strikes, consumed medicine to sustain repeated assaults on the Heavenly Pass, and emerged as a Martial Arts Grandmaster. 157 158 Commander Lou Ming made Chen Kefa’s leave conditional on slaying the Lava Demon Lizard King; Chen Kefa accepted, resigned as Law-Breaking Squad captain in favor of Li Muwan, and killed the peak seventh-order Beast King alone. 159 160

After two years away, he returned home and reunited with Du Qionghua. His reunion with Chen Yan also revealed just how far his son had progressed: Chen Kefa learned that Chen Yan had reached the Professional League’s top eight, leaving him proud, embarrassed, and acutely aware that his son had surpassed ordinary expectations. 179 180 183

During the Eternal Life Sect crisis, Chen Kefa protected Nie Sun, defeated Fukada despite being poisoned, and helped expose the implication of city chairman Liu Yongli. Afterward, he publicly accepted responsibility for the authorities’ failure to prevent the disaster and apologized to the citizens. 194 195 212

Years later, Chen Kefa returned to the Imperial Capital as a renowned Grandmaster ranked eighth on the East Continent Grandmaster Ranking. He claimed military rewards to obtain the Thunder Emperor’s Edict Sword and resources for breaking the Heavenly Pass of Spirit, preparing for the Global Peak Duel. 273
