Background / History

Chen Xinjie leads the War God Hall and initially learns of Yun Feng through Guan Yue, who reports that her twin dragon-spear martial souls can devour life energy and Soul Power. Recognizing the potential strategic value of this ability, Chen proposes testing it against abyssal creatures at the Blood God Legion, despite Guan Yue's concern that Yun Feng is too young for such danger 5.

He personally escorts Yun Feng to the Blood God Legion, promises to keep her safe, and explains the history of the Abyssal Passage and humanity's long war against the Abyss. Yun Feng's suggestion that the planar connection may have been deliberately caused unsettles him 6.

When no captured abyssal creatures are available, Chen enters the Abyssal Passage alone, captures several creatures, and retreats after encountering the Black Empress. His incursion triggers an abyssal invasion, during which he joins Cao Dezhi in opposing the Black Empress and later shields Yun Feng from her after the Golden Dragon Spear begins devouring abyssal energy 7 8 9.

After Yun Feng proves that both the Golden Dragon Spear and Silver Dragon Spear can consume abyssal energy, Chen publicly names her the next-generation successor to the War God Hall Master position. He frames her power as humanity's hope against the Abyss 10 11.

As Yun Feng grows, Chen continues to act as her principal protector and political sponsor. He permits her visit to the Tang Sect only by personally accompanying her, while also overseeing the Sea God Legion's affairs and entrusting War God Hall members to monitor Yun Feng and Ya Li during his absences 21 41.

After Yun Feng leaves Bright Capital to gain experience, Chen becomes involved in wider factional conflicts. He agrees to support Qian Gu Dongfeng's plan to destroy Shrek Academy, provided that the Spirit Pagoda bears responsibility if the plan is exposed 52. Later, when the Tang Sect Research Institute in Sunset Forest is attacked, he pressures Zang Xin to treat the incident as a Federation matter rather than a private Tang Sect affair, ultimately forcing the disclosure that the site contained the Icefire Yin Yang Well 68.

Personality

Chen is cautious, protective, and deeply invested in Yun Feng's safety. He repeatedly prioritizes containment and supervision: he keeps Yun Feng under observation after her energy resonance with Tang Wulin, opposes her attendance at Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy at first, and later refuses to permit her to train outside Bright Capital 19 48.

His protectiveness does not prevent him from taking calculated risks. He brings Yun Feng to the Blood God Legion to verify her potential against the Abyss, personally enters the Abyssal Passage to obtain test subjects, and agrees to let her visit the Tang Sect only because he intends to accompany and protect her himself 5 7 40 41.

As War God Hall Master, he is politically territorial. He rejects Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's proposal to jointly raise Yun Feng, arguing that competing training systems would hinder her development and emphasizing that the Federation has approved her as the War God Hall's successor 15. He nevertheless accepts Ya Li's continued presence when Yun Feng's cultivation needs and personal wishes make it difficult to refuse 15 16.

Chen can also be severe and pragmatic when factional interests are involved. Though initially wary of Qian Gu Dongfeng's motives, he agrees to support the Spirit Pagoda's proposed destruction of Shrek Academy after securing deniability for the Federation and War God Hall. He likewise refuses to let the Tang Sect handle the Sunset Forest attack in isolation, insisting that a suspected Holy Spirit Cult Limit Douluo is a matter for the entire Federation 52 68.

Relationships

• Yun Feng — Her guardian, patron, and the one who designates her as the War God Hall's next-generation successor. He recognizes her as humanity's hope against the Abyss, but his protectiveness frequently conflicts with her desire for independence 6 11 48 49.
• Guan Yue — War God Hall vice hall master and trusted associate. Guan Yue informs Chen about Yun Feng's devouring ability; together they identify its possible use against the Abyss 5.
• Ya Li — A political counterpart and fellow protector of Yun Feng. Chen initially resists Ya Li and Shrek Academy's involvement, but accepts her presence after acknowledging that her life energy benefits Yun Feng 15 16.

• Qian Gu Dongfeng — Spirit Pagoda leader who persuades Chen to accept a healing-type Titled Douluo as an additional protector for Yun Feng, partly to counterbalance Ya Li's influence. Qian Gu later obtains Chen's conditional support for his plan to destroy Shrek Academy 36 52.
• Qing Zhi — The Spirit Pagoda's purported Jade Douluo and a life-attribute healing-type Titled Douluo whom Chen accepts as an additional guardian for Yun Feng. He considers her presence useful both for Yun Feng's cultivation and for balancing Ya Li's influence 36 37 38.

• Tang Wulin — Yun Feng's brother. Chen monitors Tang Wulin's energy resonance with Yun Feng closely and becomes angry when Tang Wulin conceals Yun Feng's departure from Bright Capital 19 49.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Discovery of Yun Feng's Abyssal Potential

Chen receives Guan Yue's report on Yun Feng's devouring martial souls and decides that testing her against the Abyss is worth the danger. He brings her to the Blood God Legion, where her Golden Dragon Spear absorbs abyssal energy during an invasion and her Silver Dragon Spear later reproduces the feat 5 6 9 10.

Appointment of the War God Hall Successor

Following the Blood God Legion test, Chen gathers the War Gods and declares Yun Feng the next-generation successor to his position. He justifies the decision by revealing her ability to devour abyssal energy 11.

Contest for Yun Feng's Upbringing

Chen resists efforts by Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect to claim a role in Yun Feng's training. He accepts Ya Li's residence at the War God Hall only after making Yun Feng's preference decisive, and later permits the Spirit Pagoda to assign Qing Zhi as an additional guardian 15 16 36 38.

Oversight of Yun Feng's Growth

Chen supports Yun Feng's cultivation, approves her Tang Sect visit while personally escorting her, and reacts with concern when her soul-ring display reveals that she has concealed part of her strength. His opposition to her training abroad ultimately fails when she leaves Bright Capital with Bi Ji and sends him a letter asking him not to worry 40 41 47 48 49.

Alliance Against Shrek Academy

Qian Gu Dongfeng approaches Chen with a proposal to destroy Shrek Academy and reorganize the Spirit Pagoda's council, including granting Yun Feng authority as a Spirit Envoy. Chen agrees to support the scheme only after ensuring that the Spirit Pagoda will be held responsible if it is exposed, preserving deniability for the Federation and War God Hall 52.

Investigation of the Sunset Forest Attack

When the Tang Sect Research Institute is attacked and the Holy Spirit Cult's alleged new Limit Douluo becomes a suspect, Chen refuses to allow Zang Xin to treat the matter as solely Tang Sect business. His pressure leads Zang Xin to reveal the existence of the Icefire Yin Yang Well and prompts Federation-wide action against the Holy Spirit Cult 68.

Trivia

• Chen initially calls Yun Feng “Little Feng,” but changes to “Little Yun” after she objects to the former form of address 6.
• He considers Yun Feng a potential answer to the War God Hall's lack of a younger-generation pillar and compares her early potential to Yun Ming's 6.
• He is particularly wary of Ya Li's influence over Yun Feng, fearing that prolonged dependence on Ya Li could shift the future Hall Master's loyalties away from the War God Hall 36.
