Xun Fei

Biodata

Background

Xun Fei taught Jinlian No. 1 High School’s special training classes in previous years and remained in charge when the school formed a new 23-student class for provincial league preparation. The class combined selected Jinlian students with transfers recruited from surrounding counties and towns to satisfy the league’s minimum team-size requirement 42 44.

As the class’s homeroom teacher for the year, he was tasked with practical-combat instruction, internal competition, and preparing the students for the city preliminaries and provincial league 44 46.

Story Role

Formation of the Special Training Class

Xun Fei gathers selected students from multiple classes and oversees the intake of transferred students. He introduces himself as an eighth-rank martial artist and takes responsibility for the unusually demanding league-preparation year 44.

Martial Arts Competition

During the class’s ranking competition, Xun Fei identifies Shen Yang’s Iron Sand Palm as having reached major accomplishment. He is struck by Chen Wu’s consummate Eight Extremes Fist and precise restraint: although Shen Yang is sent flying, his injuries are minor, showing that Chen Wu held back considerable power 44.

After Chen Wu defeats Lian Yanfeng, Wang Yunfei, and others with overwhelming ease, Xun Fei concludes that Chen Wu is far beyond the rest of the class. He suspects Chen Wu has awakened a special constitution and ends the final early when Yu Qingxue concedes 45.

Independent Training Arrangement

Recognizing that ordinary group training would hinder Chen Wu’s progress, Xun Fei permits him to attend only the morning sessions and arrange the rest of his training time independently. Chen Wu is given access to a private training room 45 46.

Xun Fei later explains that the class was told only that Chen Wu had received special treatment as a genius; his actual realm was not disclosed. This led several students to believe Chen Wu had merely been training in isolation without practical growth 46.

Benchmark for the Class

Before the city preliminaries, Xun Fei uses Chen Wu as a benchmark to motivate the special training class. Only the top ten students in the class competition are allowed to challenge him 47.

When Chen Wu objects to being used as a “whetstone,” Xun Fei agrees to pay him ten points. He then supervises Chen Wu’s brief defeat of all challengers, ensuring that the unconscious Shen Yang has suffered no serious injury 47.
