Gu Feng

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Gu Feng transmigrated to Douluo Continent and became an orphan in Holy Soul Village. Old Jack, the village chief, raised him from childhood despite having little food of his own. At six, Gu Feng awakened a wind-element Martial Soul with innate level-seven Soul Power. 1

He spent six years at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy deliberately keeping a low profile while privately cultivating in the surrounding forest. Upon graduation, he had reached level 28 and used his knowledge of future events to target Tang Hao’s hidden cave behind the village waterfall. 1

After confirming that Tang Hao had left to follow Tang San, Gu Feng infiltrated the cave with wind-based concealment, removed Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor body, and took the hidden Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. He later burned the Blue Silver Emperor in Beishan Town to eliminate evidence, then absorbed the Soul Bone and advanced to level 30. 1

His original educational goal was Godwind Academy, whose wind-element mimetic cultivation environment best suited his Martial Soul. Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and accepting Qin Ming’s invitation instead brought him to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He later expressed interest in visiting Godwind Academy after winning the tournament to study its wind-rich environment. 1 4 13 21 93

Gu Feng’s use of opportunities from his previous-life knowledge changes the expected course of events. During the Imperial Fighting Team’s visit to Suotuo City, he considers how keeping Ning Rongrong away from Shrek may have prevented its original seven-person lineup from forming. 51

Appearance

Gu Feng was initially a twelve-year-old boy commonly seen in practical, plain clothing, including a simple black martial outfit. He is described as tall with a clean, steady bearing. 12

• His body and complexion became noticeably healthier after refining Whale Rubber. 17
• Ice-fire body tempering later made his skin appear crystalline and jade-like, while also increasing his height. 33
• He wears a storage ring on his left index finger. 4
• By his visit to Suotuo City, he stood over 1.75 meters tall, with a straight posture and smooth skin. Repeated immortal-herb and Whale Rubber tempering made him markedly different from the thin work-study student Tang San had known at Notting Academy. 52
• He has black hair and a handsome profile. His appearance later attracts Shui Yue’er’s attention during the tournament preliminaries. 24 37 95

Personality

Gu Feng is cautious, disciplined, and highly pragmatic. He spent years concealing his cultivation, reconnoitered Tang Hao’s movements before entering the hidden cave, and accepted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s resources while explicitly preserving control over his own cultivation path. 1 5

He approaches combat analytically, favoring positioning, airflow control, and exploiting an opponent’s weaknesses over direct force. His self-created techniques are often designed around practical observations, such as suffocating a target, redirecting impacts, or compressing air into a piercing attack. 2 9 23

Although willing to make ruthless choices for survival and advancement, he remains deeply loyal to Old Jack and arranges for him to live safely under the sect’s protection. He also demonstrates restraint toward Ning Rongrong, refusing to take advantage of her when the effects of Whale Rubber impair his judgment. 1 16 18

His ambition centers on gaining enough strength to control his own fate and protect those he loves. When Xue Qinghe questions his political views, Gu Feng stresses that he has not forgotten his commoner origins. He credits Spirit Hall’s village awakening program, including Su Yuntao’s work, with giving children like him a chance to become Soul Masters, while refusing to regard any entire faction as wholly good or evil. 45

His discipline becomes a source of competitive pressure for the Imperial Fighting Team. Gu Feng and Ning Rongrong’s relentless training pushes their teammates to cultivate harder, and his announcement that he intends to reach level 50 before the tournament inspires another escalation in their training. Chen Xin later observes that, beneath Gu Feng’s gentle manner, he cultivates with an urgency resembling someone being pursued. 46 69 85

Gu Feng evaluates his own innovations critically. He regards the initial Rasenshuriken as impractical despite its destructive force, acknowledges the counters to his wind-poison combination, and continues refining control rather than relying on spectacular power alone. He is also selective with rare resources, declining to distribute immortal herbs indiscriminately among people he still considers teammates rather than close friends. 37 38 40 46

His first killing of a human opponent reveals limits to his outward composure. After killing Meng Li, he becomes nauseated and emotionally shaken, recovering through Ning Rongrong’s reassurance and his teammates’ support. He nevertheless agrees with Qin Ming’s decision to leave Silvis City rather than invite retaliation from powerful local interests. 50

His political caution develops into a strategy for protecting the sect. He initially avoids committing to Xue Qinghe’s recruitment offer, but later plans to support Qian Renxue’s ascent to the Heaven Dou throne in hopes that her influence will safeguard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 42 86

Abilities & Skills

Wind-Element Martial Soul

Gu Feng possesses a pure wind-element Martial Soul with unusually precise control over airflow, scent, pressure, and motion. 12 29

• Creates protective airflow that disperses poison mist and redirects the force of physical attacks. 10 22
• Uses wind perception to navigate dark spaces and detect minute abnormalities in a person’s breathing, meridians, and Soul Power circulation. 1 29
• Can use wind currents for remote muscle treatment, meridian clearing, and massage. 7 17
• His mobility exceeds that of same-rank agility Soul Masters when combined with his Soul Bone’s flight ability. 1
• Develops a high-speed tornado barrier from his understanding of Eye of the Storm; ordinary attacks cannot penetrate it during his training. 46
• Combines Gale Piercing, flight, Soul Bone Skills, and Ning Rongrong’s support to achieve exceptionally high burst speed. After his match against the Rampaging Twin Bears, Qin Ming judges his speed capable of rivaling or surpassing an agility-type Soul Sage’s. 53

Myriad-Gap Wind Blade

His first Soul Skill produces multiple wind blades, which can also be converged into a larger cutting blade. 2

• Decapitated the Gale Demon Lizard after Gu Feng immobilized it with Vacuum. 2
• Interrupts charges and pressures opponents with repeated ranged cuts. 8
• Can condense into a heavy wind blade for close-range clashes. 22
• Has difficulty penetrating especially powerful defenses. Yu Tianheng’s twin-arm Dragon Transformation resists its cuts, while the 50,000-year Wind-Thunder Heavenly Demon Carving suffers mainly superficial damage from the blades. 47 81

Gale Piercing

His second Soul Skill wraps him in spiraling airflow to enhance speed, attack power, and wind-blade penetration. 2

• Initially increases speed and attack power by 70% and wind-blade piercing power by 50% for one hour. 2
• Enables rapid evasion, high-speed repositioning, and sudden close-range attacks. 2 10 22
• Allows him to evade attacks after disrupting an enemy’s balance or control with Vacuum. 2 10
• Its enhancement can be combined with Ning Rongrong’s support skills and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone’s flight ability. 36 53 81

Eye of the Storm

His third Soul Skill creates a large wind vortex capable of trapping, injuring, and displacing targets. 2

• Severely wounded a Netherworld Demon Wolf and drove it away during its attack on Ning Rongrong. 2
• Threw the Berserk Giant Bear brothers out of the arena for the Glazed Wind Team’s victory. 9
• Collected Dugu Yan’s uncontrollable poison mist and redirected it into arena ventilation before it could harm the team. 26
• Trapped and steadily wore down Yu Tianheng during their Soul Ancestor rematch. 47
• Produced an eight-meter cyclone against the Wind-Thunder Heavenly Demon Carving, using numerous fine wind blades to cut through its feathers. 81

Gale Domain

Gu Feng’s fourth Soul Skill, obtained from the approximately 19,000-year Wind-Splitting Demon Falcon, creates a high-pressure wind field. Chen Xin describes it as a rudimentary domain suitable for both offense and defense. It is distinct from the true Martial Soul domain awakened after Gu Feng’s fifth ring. 37 83

• Restricts enemy movement and charges through increased wind pressure. 37
• Removes wind resistance from Gu Feng’s own movements and lowers the Soul Power cost of wind-type Soul Skills. 37
• Redirects Yu Tianheng’s incoming lightning arrows and slows his advance during their rematch. 47
• Extends across several dozen meters during the fifth-ring hunt, slowing the Wind-Thunder Heavenly Demon Carving’s lightning, storm winds, and movement. 81

Wind-Thunder Possession

His fifth Soul Skill draws on the source power of the 50,000-year Wind-Thunder Heavenly Demon Carving to enhance his body and combat capabilities. 82 83

• Increases all attributes by 300%, including speed, strength, and attack penetration. 83
• Lasts for two hours. 83
• Its exceptional strength is attributed to the Soul Beast’s age, powerful wind-and-thunder attributes, and compatibility with Gu Feng’s Martial Soul. 83

Wind Domain

A true Martial Soul domain that awakens immediately after Gu Feng finishes absorbing his fifth Soul Ring. Gu Rong recognizes its suppression as comparable in kind to Chen Xin’s Seven Kill Domain. 83

• Increases all of Gu Feng’s attributes by 120%. 83
• Reduces enemies’ attributes by 20% within its range. 83
• Greatly improves his control over surrounding wind elements and reduces his Soul Skills’ Soul Power consumption. 83
• Allows him to transform his body completely into wind while inside the domain, evading physical and energy-based attacks and preventing enemies from targeting him in that form. 83
• Consumes considerable Soul Power, limiting sustained use despite its exceptional defensive capability. 83

Vacuum

A self-created technique that evacuates the air around a target’s nose and mouth, disrupting breathing and Soul Power circulation. 2 9

• Held the Gale Demon Lizard in place for roughly two seconds, allowing Gu Feng to kill it. 2
• Interrupted the Berserk Giant Bear brothers’ Soul Skills and caused their attacks to fail. 9
• Neutralized Dugu Yan’s poison serpent by removing the airflow that supported and directed the poisonous mist. 10
• Its range and reliability are limited against experienced human Soul Masters who can quickly escape or force their way out with Soul Power. 8
• Remains useful in team coordination drills, briefly stopping an opponent’s breathing and creating openings for allied attacks. 41

Breath Concealment

A self-created wind technique that wraps his body in thin airflow to conceal his scent, sound, and presence. 1 2

• Allowed him to enter Tang Hao’s hidden cave without alerting anyone nearby. 1
• Enabled him to ambush the Gale Demon Lizard from a tree branch. 2

Wind God Finger

A high-pressure, self-created finishing technique. Gu Feng gathers and compresses surrounding wind into a minute point at his fingertip, then releases it as an extremely penetrating beam. 23

• Pierced through Yu Tianheng’s dragon-enhanced Thunderclap Dragon Claw and severely injured his arm. 23
• Killed the 19,000-year Wind-Splitting Demon Falcon with a shot through its skull. 36
• Requires a charging period and consumes a massive amount of Soul Power and mental strength. 23 25
• Gu Rong considers Gu Feng’s unusual movement techniques sufficient to mitigate much of its charging weakness during combat. 25
• Killed Fierce God Team captain Meng Li by piercing his defenses and throat. 50
• Its concentrated penetration is less suitable for large groups or broad, heavy defenses than an area-cutting technique, motivating Gu Feng’s development of Rasenshuriken. 38

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken

A self-created technique adapted from Gu Feng’s previous-life memories. He compresses violently opposing rotations of Wind Element and Soul Power into a sphere, then extends four thin, rapidly spinning wind blades around its core. 36 37

• The initial prototype gouged his courtyard, created a temporary vacuum, and excavated a large crater when thrown against a distant cliff. 37
• Initially suffered from excessive charging time, unstable internal rotation, and a loss of destructive power as it expanded after leaving his hand. 37 38
• After ten months of training, could form steadily in his hand. The thrown version still expanded and weakened, while close-range detonation remained powerful but inflicted substantial injury on Gu Feng himself. 46
• Was deployed against Yu Tianheng’s Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush during their rematch. 48
• Later killed the 50,000-year Wind-Thunder Heavenly Demon Carving through a close-range combination: spiritual disruption, gravitational pull, and immediate detonation. His right-leg Soul Bone’s healing allowed him to endure the backlash. 81 82
• Requires precise spiritual control and simultaneous management of opposing Soul Power streams. Heart Separation Control becomes central to coordinating it with other abilities. 38 82

Heart Separation Control

A secret technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that trains divided attention and independent manipulation of multiple Soul Power streams. Ning Fengzhi authorizes Gu Feng to learn it after recognizing its usefulness for stabilizing Rasenshuriken, and Ning Rongrong personally teaches him. 38

• One Mind, Two Uses — mastered after one night of practice, aided by the spiritual enhancement from Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. Allows two independent Soul Power streams. 39
• Four-Aperture Balanced Heart — reached by the fifth-ring hunt, allowing four simultaneous tasks. Gu Feng uses it to maintain Rasenshuriken while operating Soul Bone Skills with his other hand and coordinating spiritual attacks. 82

Movement and Team Combat

Gu Feng uses Odd Asynchronous Footwork alongside wind-enhanced agility to evade, redirect, and dismantle close-range attacks. He applies it against Yu Tianheng’s rapid punches and kicks. 22

His wind-poison combination with Dugu Yan compresses her Jade Phosphor Purple Poison into a fast-moving vortex. It is particularly effective at pressuring defensive lines and breaking enemy formations. 40

• Yu Tianheng can break through the vortex with lightning. Gu Feng also identifies strong fire, earth, defensive, and elemental abilities as possible counters. 40
• Insufficient wind pressure allows opposing air currents to dilute the toxin, while an opponent who withstands the attack can cause the combination to waste significant Soul Power. 40
• By the tournament preparation period, the combination can repeatedly trap and pressure Yu Tianheng and the Shi brothers during training. 91
• Gu Feng believes his spiritual strength, Wind Domain, Eye of the Storm, Vacuum, and Ning Rongrong’s support provide sufficient tools to counter Spirit Hall’s Demon Charm fusion skill; this is his assessment before facing it in the tournament. 91

Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone taken from Tang Hao’s hidden cave and absorbed at level 28. 1

• Flight — grants aerial mobility and greatly enhances his speed. 1 23
• Healing — repairs injuries and helped him regain control when Whale Rubber’s effects overwhelmed him. 1 18
• Its life energy healed his accumulated training injuries, strengthened his talent, and later completed its integration under Gu Rong’s pressure. 1 14
• Continuously repairs damage from Rasenshuriken experimentation and close-range detonation. 37 82
• Repairs meridian injuries caused by the violent wind-and-lightning energy of his 50,000-year fifth Soul Ring during absorption. 82

Wind-Attribute Left Arm Bone

Gu Feng receives a 25,000-year wind-attribute Soul Bone as Xue Qinghe’s recruitment gift and absorbs it with the support of the sect’s elders. His later arena battles establish that he possesses a Left Arm Bone with the skill Fierce Wind Repulsion. 43 44 53

• Fierce Wind Repulsion — releases a powerful invisible repulsive wind force. Gu Feng uses it to launch both Rampaging Twin Bears out of the arena in less than ten seconds. 53
• His fifth-ring hunting combination also employs a Soul Bone-generated gravitational pull to bring the target into range of Rasenshuriken. 82

Storm Demon Eagle Left Leg Bone

A 40,000-year wind-attribute Soul Bone obtained from the Heaven Dou treasury through Xue Qinghe and absorbed before the fifth-ring hunt. Its energy strengthens and cleanses Gu Feng’s left leg. 79

• Stormsplitter Strike — multiplies his burst speed in an instant and grants his attacks powerful penetration and defense-breaking capability. 80

Illusion Demon Fox Skull

A 50,000-year spiritual-type skull, also described as a Phantom Demon Fox skull bone, obtained from the Heaven Dou treasury through Xue Qinghe. Absorption greatly expands Gu Feng’s spiritual sea. 79 82

• Mental Interference — creates mental turmoil within a fifty-meter radius, forcibly interrupting an opponent’s Soul Skill channeling or target lock-on. 80
• Its spiritual enhancement supports simultaneous use of multiple Soul Bone Skills and Rasenshuriken. 82
• Contains the residual will of the 50,000-year Wind-Thunder Heavenly Demon Carving during fifth-ring absorption, reducing its spiritual assault to a brief disturbance. 82

Body Tempering and Spiritual Enhancement

Gu Feng deliberately strengthens his body to exceed conventional Soul Ring limits. 17 18

• Refined Thousand-Year Whale Rubber to improve his vitality, physical strength, meridians, and Soul Ring tolerance. 17
• Consumed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, increasing his spiritual power and allowing him to perceive minute details at long distances. 32
• Survived the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. 32 33
• Gained immunity to extreme ice, extreme fire, and poison; his physique can withstand a Soul King’s attack. 33
• Much of the two supreme immortal herbs’ medicinal power improves his innate potential and cleanses his marrow and meridians rather than directly increasing Soul Power. 37
• Repeatedly used the sect’s high-quality Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, eventually developing complete resistance to it. Only Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber could provide further benefits through that method. 46
• Uses the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s energy for prolonged secluded cultivation and plans to guide Ning Rongrong in using its origin power to temper her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. 68 69 77

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Storage ring — ten-cubic-meter Storage Soul Tool gifted by Ning Fengzhi; used to carry money, supplies, herbs, and clothing. 4
• Gold card — contains 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, given by Ning Fengzhi as gratitude for saving Ning Rongrong. 4
• Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect token — grants authority over the sect’s affairs in Heaven Dou City. 6
• Crown Prince token — personal token from Xue Qinghe, permitting Gu Feng to seek imperial aid if needed. 21
• Warm-jade boxes and knives — prepared specifically for safely harvesting and preserving immortal herbs. 32
• Medicinal bath packets — rare-herb preparations supplied by Ning Fengzhi to repair cultivation strain and strengthen his foundation. 16
• Whale Rubber supplies — initially purchased privately, then supplied in large quantities by the sect after its body-strengthening value was recognized. Gu Feng eventually exhausts the usefulness of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber through acquired resistance. 17 20 46
• Communication jade talisman — to be crushed if danger arises during secluded training in Sunset Forest. 68
• Gold Soul Rank badge — used alongside Ning Rongrong’s Silver Soul Rank badge to register their Clear Breeze Team at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. 52
• Immortal herbs — retains valuable herbs harvested from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, distributing them selectively to Ning Rongrong, the sect’s elders, and the Dugu family rather than indiscriminately among his teammates. 32 33 36 46
• Absorbed Soul Bones — right leg, left arm, left leg, and skull; each provides permanent abilities rather than functioning as an external weapon. 1 53 79 80

Relationships

• Ning Rongrong — Lover, sectmate, and combat partner. Their relationship developed from her rescue in Star Dou Great Forest into the arena team Glazed Wind, and was publicly acknowledged by the time she met Old Jack as Gu Feng’s girlfriend. Her later successful plucking of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red demonstrated the depth of her devotion. 2 7 20 35 She teaches him Heart Separation Control, supports his Soul Beast hunts, and trains alongside him in seclusion. They later register as the Clear Breeze Team in Suotuo City. 38 52 81 82 Gu Feng initially urges them to prioritize cultivation and postpone deeper intimacy until adulthood, though they later share an affectionate night after the Titan Giant Ape incident. 46 86
• Old Jack — Adoptive grandfather and the man who raised Gu Feng in Holy Soul Village. Gu Feng asked Ning Fengzhi to provide him a safe, comfortable retirement near the sect. 1 16 20 He respects Old Jack’s preference for a simple courtyard and farming rather than imposing luxury or servants on him. 20
• Ning Fengzhi — Sect Master and primary patron. He recruited Gu Feng, supports his independent cultivation, provides resources and protection, and approves of his relationship with Ning Rongrong. 5 15 20 He grants access to Heart Separation Control, commissions a search for a high-quality spiritual skull bone, and arranges a royal Soul Bone exchange to prepare Gu Feng for his fifth ring. 38 77 78
• Chen Xin — Sword Douluo and senior supporter. He recognizes Gu Feng’s self-created techniques and advocates protecting his natural development rather than forcing conventional instruction on him. 5 15 He confirms Gu Feng’s stable foundation after his fourth ring, warns against reckless experimentation, and helps plan support for a possible future Hundred-Thousand-Year sixth ring. 37 38 85
• Gu Rong — Bone Douluo and protective elder. He initially tested Gu Feng with Soul Power pressure, then became one of his strongest supporters and personal protectors. 14 15 30 He accompanies the fifth-ring hunt, closely monitors the dangerous absorption, and uses a Space Gate to evacuate Gu Feng and Ning Rongrong during the Titan Giant Ape attack. 80 82 85
• Qin Ming — Former instructor of the Imperial Fighting Team. He recruited Gu Feng and Ning Rongrong, then assigned Gu Feng as part of the team’s wind-poison control combination with Dugu Yan. 13 21 26 He supervises Gu Feng’s sparring and arena tour, protects the team after the Fierce God Team’s destruction, and later resigns following the royal obstruction of Shrek’s proposed academy merger. 47 50 87
• Xue Li — The Imperial Fighting Team’s new leader, appointed by the Crown Prince after Qin Ming’s resignation. She is astonished by Gu Feng’s Soul King breakthrough and approves his decision to conceal himself and Ning Rongrong during public arena matches before the tournament. 87 89 90
• Yu Tianheng — Imperial Fighting Team captain and respectful rival. Gu Feng defeated him in an internal spar with Wind God Finger; they agreed to a future rematch. 23 24 Yu Tianheng challenges him again after reaching level 41 and mastering twin-arm Dragon Transformation. He continues treating Gu Feng’s superior progress as motivation rather than a cause for resentment. 47 48 89 Their relationship briefly becomes strained when Yu Tianheng asks Gu Feng to show restraint toward Yu Xiaogang despite the latter’s provocation. 56 57
• Dugu Yan — Teammate and former arena opponent. Gu Feng countered her poison, later exposed her venom backlash, and devised a method to preserve her cultivation while treating the Dugu family’s poison problem. 10 26 32 She publicly credits him with curing her condition, and their wind-poison coordination becomes an important formation-breaking tactic. 39 40 91
• Dugu Bo — Poison Douluo and Dugu Yan’s grandfather. In exchange for treatment, he granted Gu Feng access to his medicinal garden and later unrestricted access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well valley. 30 33 The sect’s elders later consider recruiting his assistance for a future Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast hunt because of his strength, poison, and debt to Gu Feng. 85
• Xue Qinghe / Qian Renxue — Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, whose true identity Gu Feng recognizes as Qian Renxue but keeps secret. Xue Qinghe grants him a personal token and takes an interest in his potential. 21 25 Gu Feng accepts a closer “Brother Qinghe” relationship while initially declining to commit to imperial service. His commoner-centered views and gratitude lead Qian Renxue to seek a more sincere friendship, and their regular visits deepen the connection. 42 45 46 Xue Qinghe supplies rare Soul Bones and auction information; Gu Feng later intends to support Qian Renxue’s imperial ambitions to protect the sect. 79 86 89
• Ye Lingling — Teammate and healer. She recognizes that Gu Feng held back against Dugu Yan, treats injuries from his team’s sparring, and quietly supports him after his first human killing. She also takes an interest in whether he might help address the hereditary limitations of Nine-Heart Begonia. 13 24 39 50
• Tang San — Fellow Holy Soul Village native and former Notting Academy classmate, though they were never close. Gu Feng deliberately avoids acknowledging him in Suotuo City, where his changed appearance prevents easy recognition. Tang San is deeply shocked by his Ten-Thousand-Year fourth ring. 52 53 58
• Xiao Wu — Former Notting Academy acquaintance and later opposing Shrek member. Gu Feng avoids approaching her in his early years because of Tang Hao’s hidden presence. After the Titan Giant Ape attack, he concludes that she deliberately sent the beast against him and resolves to take her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring at level 60; this belief rests on an incomplete understanding of the incident. 52 86
• Yu Xiaogang — Opposing instructor whose assessment of Gu Feng’s fighting style provokes a team match against Shrek. Gu Feng regards him as an attention-seeking theorist and later dismisses his insults after defeating Shrek. 56 64
• Feng Xiaotian — Godwind Academy captain. Gu Feng and Ning Rongrong encounter him being tortured within Shi Nian’s illusion and prepare to intervene with Rongrong’s support amplifications. 96
• Shi Nian — Canghui Academy supervisor. Gu Feng privately knows he stole the Gemstone Soul Bone intended for auction, but conceals that knowledge to avoid exposing his source and provoking immediate intervention by Gu Rong. He later finds Shi Nian attacking Feng Xiaotian. 93 96
