Power Progression

Background

Chen Feng is assigned as Wang Xuance's squad leader when Wang joins the Mountain Sea Guard. After dismissing the rest of the squad, he privately presses the newcomer to learn the unofficial “rules,” meaning tribute for one's superior. Wang refuses to comply, prompting Chen Feng to coldly acknowledge his backbone and send him to train under the deputy squad leader instead. 3 4

He observes Wang Xuance's spar with Xu Dalin from the command tent and dismisses Wang as overestimating himself. However, Chen Feng does not subsequently interfere with Wang's training; he is preoccupied with his own attempt to break through into the Martial Artist realm. 4 5

Chen Linger, a fellow Chen Clan member, considers Chen Feng an obstacle and seeks Wang Xuance's help to kill him. Wang agrees to an arrangement in which Chen Linger would first weaken Chen Feng when he leaves the city, allowing Wang to ambush him two months later. 5 6

During Chen Clan succession disputes, Chen Feng returns as the prospective candidate of Chen Xuanfeng's branch. He demonstrates the Three-Knock Blood Pass and two condensed Blood Essences, supporting his branch's claim that he can become a martial artist within months. 20 24

Appearance

Chen Feng is described as a handsome youth standing roughly six chi tall. 3

• During his clan-hall demonstration, two layered strands of blood mist swirl around his body. 24
• His spine, tendons, and membranes produce the distinctive tremors of the Three-Knock Blood Pass. 24

Personality

Chen Feng is stern, impatient, and accustomed to the military's tacit hierarchy. He expects tribute from new recruits and responds sharply when Wang Xuance refuses to yield. 3 4

He is also cultivation-focused. His absence from squad duties is attributed to his urgent breakthrough efforts, and his later display before the Chen Clan shows that he has made substantial progress. 5 9 24
