Background

Xiao Yifeng was an established inner-sect prodigy who had gained notoriety roughly a year before Lin Feng’s challenge. He held the 90th position on the Inner Sect Prodigy Ranking and was widely feared for his speed, void-concealment methods, poisonous techniques, and Shadow Spider spirit pet. Many disciples considered him more dangerous to challenge than higher-ranked opponents because his poison could cripple or reduce a victim’s cultivation. 37 38

After advancing to the Eighth Layer of the Palace of Destiny Realm, Xiao Yifeng received Lin Feng’s formal challenge letter from Song Yiling. He initially dismissed Lin Feng’s reputation as exaggeration, but the Sword Qi sealed in the letter forced him to acknowledge that Lin Feng possessed genuine ability. 37

Appearance

Xiao Yifeng is a black-clad man with a deathly, intimidating presence.

• Black hair. 38 41
• Extremely pale complexion and lips. 37
• A corpse-like, impassive expression. 37
• Often carries the tiny black Shadow Spider near his face, where it can resemble a beauty mark. 37

Personality

Xiao Yifeng is cold, ruthless, and intensely prideful. He regarded Lin Feng’s challenge as a personal insult, interpreting it as an attempt to treat him as an easy opponent. His willingness to use crippling poison and his hope that a weak challenger might die demonstrate a lethal approach to competition. 37 38

Although initially contemptuous, he does not remain careless once faced with real resistance. During his duel with Lin Feng, he escalates from a Venerable-grade technique to a Mighty-grade Divine Ability, his Dark Shadow Blades, and finally the Shadow Spider. His growing desperation reveals how deeply his confidence depended on the superiority of his methods and cultivation. 39 40 41

Story Role / Major Arcs

Prodigy Ranking Challenge

Song Yiling delivers Lin Feng’s challenge letter shortly after Xiao Yifeng advances to the Eighth Layer of the Palace of Destiny Realm. Xiao Yifeng accepts, intending to use Lin Feng as practice after his breakthrough, but the Sword Qi hidden in the letter reveals that his challenger is not ordinary. 37

Battle at the Martial Dao Arena

Xiao Yifeng begins the public duel with the major-mastery Swift Shadow Divine Fist, then uses the minor-mastery Mighty-grade Flashstrike Voidbreaker after Lin Feng withstands his opening attack. Lin Feng’s ordinary longsword shatters in their clash, but Lin Feng himself is unharmed. 39 40

Xiao Yifeng escalates again with the Dark Shadow Blades, only for Lin Feng’s fully unleashed Desolate Ancient Sacred Body to block them with overwhelming blood energy. Desperate to reverse the battle, Xiao Yifeng releases the Shadow Spider. 40 41

The Shadow Spider’s poison proves ineffective against Lin Feng and instead provides the energy for Lin Feng’s breakthrough into the First Layer of the Palace of Destiny Realm. Lin Feng then knocks Xiao Yifeng from the arena with a single punch, ending Xiao Yifeng’s tenure at 90th place on the Prodigy Ranking. 41 42
