Nalan Chenfeng

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Nalan Chenfeng is a reincarnated individual whose adult mentality and memories from two lives distinguish him from other children. At six, he was already cultivating while accounting for the limits of his undeveloped meridians, and he possessed an abnormal soul strength that would later become a major advantage in breakthroughs and technique cultivation. 2 5 10

During an extended stay with the Xiao Clan in Wu Tan City, Chenfeng intervened in Xiao Yan’s conduct toward Gu Xun’er and Xiao Mei. He viewed Xiao Yan as his future brother-in-law through Nalan Yanran’s engagement, disciplined him harshly, and attempted to preserve the Xiao–Nalan alliance for both political and personal reasons. 1 4 5

After returning to the Imperial Capital, Chenfeng became increasingly concerned about the Nalan Clan’s future. His grandfather Nalan Jie’s Scorch Poison and the clan’s lack of another Dou Wang made Chenfeng determined to become strong enough to protect his family and control his own fate. 8

He entered Jia Nan Academy at age ten as a Three-Star Dou Zhe. There, he relied on cultivation, dangerous Enforcement Team missions, and his private advantages rather than his clan background, eventually becoming a Five-Star Dou Ling before entering the Inner Academy. 21 23 25 48

In the Inner Academy, Chenfeng established the Wind Pavilion and cultivated extensively in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. His success in the Strong Ranking Tournament secured access to Origin Heart Flame tempering, and he subsequently became a Dou Wang before turning fifteen. His strength qualified him to apply for early graduation, although he continued to use the academy as a cultivation base. 61 66 68 69 77

His relationship with Han Yue gave him a foothold in the Central Plains. Traveling with her to the Han Family in Tian Bei City, he received her family’s approval of their engagement and access to its Dou Techniques. He subsequently returned to the academy, obtained Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid, and reached Six-Star Dou Wang before returning to the Jia Ma Empire at sixteen. 77 78 82 83 85 89 92 93 96

Despite his earlier efforts to preserve Nalan Yanran’s engagement, Chenfeng ultimately accepted its dissolution after she publicly confronted the Xiao Clan. He reprimanded both her conduct and Xiao Yan’s insults, seeking to prevent the dispute from becoming a mortal feud and to preserve the dignity of both families. 96 97

Appearance

Chenfeng is repeatedly associated with moon-white robes, black eyes, and a composed bearing beyond his age. At ten, he was slender and clean-cut; by thirteen and a half, combat experience had broadened his shoulders, sharpened his jawline, and removed much of his childish appearance. 2 10 25

• Moon-white robes are his most common attire. 2 7 39
• His eyes are pitch-black and described as calm, abyss-like, or carrying a faint golden glint when using fire-attributed Dou Qi. 25 36
• A fine black ring appears deep in his pupils when activating Time Stop. 5 16 25
• He later manifests purple-black wings with silver-edged, cloud-patterned feathers through Purple Cloud Wings. 33
• After converting to the Heavenly Flame Art, dark-crimson light appears in his eyes during cultivation and breakthroughs. 48 59 69 93
• By nearly fifteen, his features were more clearly defined, his black hair was tied behind his head, and his appearance had acquired a young man’s heroic bearing. 69

Personality

Chenfeng is disciplined, observant, and intensely ambitious. He studies cultivation records, trains on rigid schedules, and seeks stronger techniques, combat experience, and resources rather than depending solely on the Nalan Clan’s reputation. 14 22 24

He is protective toward Nalan Yanran and, at times, Xiao Yan, but this concern is mixed with calculation. He deliberately humbles Xiao Yan during his rise, plans to support him during his decline, withholds the truth of Xiao Yan’s condition, and secures an open-ended promise of future assistance from him. 12 28 29

Chenfeng is courteous to respected seniors and allies, including Nalan Jie, Master Allen, and academy mentors. Conversely, he reacts decisively to arrogance, humiliation, or behavior he considers improper, as shown by his treatment of Hu Tong, Yin Tu, and the senior students in the Fire Energy Hunting Tournament. 11 21 25 50

He does not consider familial affection a reason to excuse misconduct. During the engagement dispute, he publicly slapped Nalan Yanran for humiliating the Xiao Clan and disregarding their elders’ friendship. After reconciling with her, he warned that he would still punish her future mistakes, even while providing her with valuable protection and cultivation resources. 96 97 99

Chenfeng is affectionate and protective toward Han Yue, but also teasing and openly interested in beautiful women. He regards her family’s affairs as his own and acts immediately when Hong Feng insults the Han sisters. His attraction does not easily override his judgment: when Ya Fei attempts to cultivate familiarity through her charm, he remains composed and treats their meeting as a potential strategic opportunity. 37 85 86 99 100

Abilities & Skills

Time Stop

Chenfeng’s unique ability freezes time in a limited area while leaving him unaffected.

• At six, it could stop time within a small radius for roughly two seconds, once per day. 1
• Before becoming a Dou Zhe, its effective range was about one meter and its duration was less than a breath. 5
• After reaching Dou Zhe, its duration exceeded three seconds, allowing him to evade Xiao Yan’s attack and trip him before anyone could react. 16
• At Dou Ling, it could affect stronger opponents for roughly three breaths, though range, duration, and effectiveness decrease against more powerful targets. 25
• He used it to create an opening against Five-Star Dou Ling Yin Tu, then formed a Dou Qi sword and pierced Yin Tu’s throat. 25
• Until his Dou Wang breakthrough, its once-per-day restriction and secret nature were central limits; Chenfeng refuses to disclose it even to allies. 25 33 65
• He used it in an encounter with Ziyan, who mistook the effect for a Dou Technique. Chenfeng privately sensed that the daily restriction was connected to the intensity of his soul power. 65
• After advancing to Dou Wang, he could stop time for four breaths, approximately fifteen seconds, and activate it twice in succession rather than only once per day. 69
• He sensed that the ability might possess further undeveloped potential, possibly beyond simply stopping time, but had not identified any additional function. 69

Fire-Attributed Dou Qi

Chenfeng possesses fire affinity but no wood affinity, preventing him from naturally becoming a true alchemist. 10 11

• Initially cultivated the High Mystic Rank Flame Yang Art, which produces fierce golden, scorching Dou Qi and can be enhanced with Beast Flames or heat-based treasures. 12
• Replaced it with the Mid Earth Tier Heavenly Flame Art, changing his Dou Qi from golden to dense dark crimson with magma-like heat. 47
• The Heavenly Flame Art more than doubled his Dou Qi’s density and substantially improved recovery speed. 48
• The technique is stated to support cultivation toward the Dou Emperor, Dou Zong, and Dou Zun realms. 47
• At Dou Wang, his Dou Qi spreads throughout his meridians, bones, and blood rather than remaining confined to his dantian. This allows him to absorb and wield surrounding natural energy and strengthens his physical defenses through whole-body tempering. 69 74

Soul Perception

His reincarnated soul is far stronger than that of cultivators at the same level.

• He used soul perception to stabilize and complete his Dou Zhe breakthrough. 10
• His soul strength was sufficient to suppress the lingering soul of the fifth-tier Blackflame Purple Cloud Eagle while cultivating Purple Cloud Wings. 33
• By the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, his soul perception was comparable to an ordinary Dou Wang’s and possibly some Peak Dou Wangs’. 44
• He used this perception to identify hidden barriers in the Library Pavilion and obtain the Heavenly Flame Art. 44
• After advancing to Dou Wang, his soul power was comparable to that of certain high-level Dou Emperors. It helped him rapidly comprehend the precision and control required by the Nine-Turn Wind Roaming Step. 85
• Despite this strength, he lacked soul techniques and could not directly employ his soul power offensively. 85
• At sixteen, Yao Lao assessed his soul as strong enough to rival a Peak Dou Emperor’s, alongside an extraordinarily solid Six-Star Dou Wang foundation. 101

Combat and Mobility

• Wind Flame Step — A Mystic Rank movement Dou Technique used to evade Yin Tu’s repeated attacks. 25
• Flame Explosion Fist — A High Mystic Rank fire-attributed Dou Technique; powerful against ordinary opponents but insufficient to bridge the four-star gap against Yin Tu. 25
• Dou Qi Manifestation — As a Dou Ling, he can condense solid Dou Qi into weapons, including a longsword. 25 31
• Purple Cloud Wings — A High Mystic Rank flying Dou Technique that grants aerial mobility before the Dou Wang realm. Its flight led senior students to mistake him for a Dou Wang. 32 33 49
• Dou Qi Wings — After reaching Dou Wang, he can form genuine Dou Qi wings and fly through his own cultivation rather than relying solely on a flying Dou Technique. 69
• Flame Dragon Splitting Sky Slash — An Earth Tier offensive Dou Technique practiced at the Han Family. It channels surrounding natural energy into a Dou Qi sword; after half a month, his initial mastery allowed him to destroy roughly half a mountain. Han Tian judged that even Peak Dou Wangs would need to treat it cautiously and ordinary Dou Emperors could not lightly disregard it. 85
• Nine-Turn Wind Roaming Step — A wind-attributed movement Dou Technique taught by Han Tian. Chenfeng reached the fifth turn within half a month despite its attribute mismatch. At full mastery, it is stated to rival certain Low Earth Tier movement techniques and provide room to maneuver against a Dou Emperor. 85

Cultivation and Heart Fire Tempering

Chenfeng uses the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’s Heart Fire to temper and condense his Dou Qi. On his first visit, he contained the heat with his own Dou Qi and recognized the cultivation benefits of the Heartfire Scorching trial. The combination of Heart Fire and the Heavenly Flame Art allowed him to advance from Five-Star to Six-Star Dou Ling within his first month in the Inner Academy. 56 59

• His Crimson Fire Crystal Card initially permitted access through the seventh floor, although Elder Liu advised him not to descend beyond the fifth floor at first. He later cultivated on the eighth and ninth floors. 56 66
• Origin Heart Flame tempering thoroughly refined his Dou Qi and stabilized his foundation before his Dou Wang breakthrough. 68
• Tower cultivation accumulates Fire Poison, requiring him to interrupt training and clear it from his body. Its benefits diminished after he became a Dou Wang, although its abundant fire energy remained useful. 66 75 93
• Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid supplemented his tower cultivation and helped him advance from Four-Star to Six-Star Dou Wang in just over five months. 93

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Purple Cloud Wings — High Mystic Rank flying Dou Technique derived from the Blackflame Purple Cloud Eagle’s wings and residual soul. 32 33
• Heavenly Flame Art — Mid Earth Tier fire-attributed cultivation method obtained from Jia Nan Academy’s Library Pavilion. 44 45
• Flame Yang Art — His former High Mystic Rank fire-attributed cultivation method, given by Nalan Jie. 12 47
• Seven-Colored Poison Manual — Acquired from a deceased Dou Wang’s cave; Chenfeng intends to give it to Xiao Yi Xian to help her control her Woeful Poison Body. 32 33
• Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Map fragment — Retrieved from the same cave and retained as a potential bargaining chip. 32
• Roaring Lion Chant — High Mystic Rank Dou Technique acquired from the cave; Chenfeng intends to sell or exchange it. 32 33
• Ice Spirit Flame Grass — Valuable medicinal herb harvested from the cave. 32
• Jia Nan Academy student badge — Received from Mentor Ruohai upon admission. 22
• Storage Ring — Used to carry treasures, medicinal ingredients, and cultivation resources. He also seized Yin Tu’s ring, which contained over ten million gold coins, two High Mystic Rank Dou Techniques, two Xuan Tier cultivation methods, and miscellaneous valuables. 25 32 71
• Crimson Fire Crystal Card — Awarded after his overwhelming performance in the Fire Energy Hunting Tournament. It grants access to deeper tower floors than an ordinary newcomer’s card. 51 56
• Seven-Leaf Xuanbing Lotus — A spiritual herb taken from behind an energy restriction while Ziyan was involved in the expedition; its guardian was a Sixth-Rank Aquatic Cyan Scaled Dragon. 71
• Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid — Collected in both primal and diluted forms. Chenfeng filled more than one hundred jade bottles with diluted fluid and left some behind to allow the treasure to form again. He gave Han Yue a bottle enhanced with two drops of primal essence and later supplied Nalan Yanran with fluid as well. 92 99
• Flame Dragon Splitting Sky Slash — Earth Tier offensive technique added to his repertoire during his stay with the Han Family. 83 85
• Nine-Turn Wind Roaming Step — Movement technique personally taught to him by Han Tian. 85

Relationships

• Nalan Yanran — Younger sister. Chenfeng is protective of her future, opposes letting her escape the Xiao Yan engagement without facing the consequences of her choices, and remains someone she deeply admires and depends upon. He eventually accepted the engagement’s dissolution but publicly punished her for using the Misty Cloud Sect’s influence to humiliate the Xiao Clan. They reconciled afterward, and he gave her the Fifth-Rank Snow Demon Sky Ape and Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid while warning her against further misconduct. 1 14 96 97 99
• Nalan Jie — Grandfather, clan leader, and Chenfeng’s most trusted family member. Jie supports his decisions, gives him the Flame Yang Art, and shields him from political pressure. 8 12 13
• Nalan Su — Father and Nalan Clan head. Their relationship is respectful but more distant than Chenfeng’s bond with Nalan Jie; Su ultimately accepts Chenfeng’s plan to attend Jia Nan Academy. 8 14
• Xiao Yan — Former prospective brother-in-law through Yanran’s engagement. Their relationship begins with Chenfeng repeatedly disciplining and humiliating Xiao Yan, then becomes a calculated alliance after Chenfeng encourages Xiao Yan during his loss of cultivation and obtains his promise of future cooperation. During the eventual engagement dispute, Chenfeng made Xiao Yan apologize for his insults and intervened to contain the conflict; Xiao Yan remembered his earlier encouragement and became less hostile after seeing him reprimand Yanran as well. 5 16 28 96 97
• Xiao Yu — Childhood acquaintance and Nalan’s appointed observer of Xiao Yan. She is openly attached to Chenfeng, while he privately considers her connection to the Xiao Clan’s First Elder useful in acquiring the Tou She Ancient God Jade. 4 34 36
• Gu Xun’er — A cautious acquaintance. Chenfeng keeps his distance due to her hidden Gu Clan background, while Xun’er remains curious and suspicious about his motives toward Xiao Yan and the marriage agreement. She later recognizes that his teenage Dou Wang cultivation is exceptional even by Gu Clan standards and is surprised by his willingness to punish his own sister publicly. 1 34 96 97
• Han Yue — Jia Nan Academy peer, romantic partner, and later fiancée. Chenfeng helps secure her place among the Inner Academy’s top five and obtains the ice-attributed Mystic Frost Art for her. They begin their relationship before entering the Inner Academy, share Courtyard Number Seven afterward, and receive the Han Family’s approval of their engagement. He protects her from unwanted attention, supports her cultivation, and declines her request to accompany his later Jia Ma Empire journey because of the risks involved. 37 38 45 47 53 61 83 92
• Xiao Yi Xian — Potential ally and intended future wife in Chenfeng’s plans. He promises to provide the Seven-Colored Poison Manual to help with her Woeful Poison Body. He approaches her at Myriad Medicine Hall by revealing his knowledge of her condition and offering assistance. 29 30 32
• Master Allen — Nalan Clan’s resident fourth-tier alchemist. Allen confirmed Chenfeng’s fire affinity and lack of wood affinity. 11
• Zhao Yuan — Jia Nan Academy Enforcement Team senior brother who witnessed the aftermath of Chenfeng’s victory over Yin Tu. 25
• Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing — Academy peers associated with the Wind Pavilion. Chenfeng asks them to test Xiao Yan when he eventually enters the Inner Academy and later encourages their cultivation after they reach Peak Nine-Star Da Dou Shi. 61 75
• Ziyan — Wind Pavilion associate and treasure-hunting partner. She mistakes Time Stop for a powerful Dou Technique and resents his refusal to explain it. Chenfeng persuades her to surrender in the Strong Ranking Tournament by promising to help her find medicinal ingredients, and later asks her to locate the Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid. 65 66 67 68 71 88 92
• Han Tian — Han Yue’s uncle and a Dou Emperor. He warmly supports their relationship, accompanies the journey to the Central Plains, and personally teaches Chenfeng the Nine-Turn Wind Roaming Step. 76 77 78 85
• Han Chi — Han Yue’s father and Han Family patriarch. He approves Chenfeng’s engagement to Han Yue and grants him access to the family’s Dou Technique collection. 82 83
• Han Xue — Han Yue’s younger sister. Chenfeng teases her about calling him brother-in-law, while she initially intends to examine his suitability for her sister. She gains a more favorable impression after he defends both sisters against Hong Feng. At Han Yue’s request, he promises not to force Han Xue into a relationship. 76 81 85 86
• Cheng Yue — Nine-Star Dou Ling senior who pressures Han Yue despite her refusal. Chenfeng confronts and severely injures him, demonstrating that his lower cultivation does not reflect his full combat threat. 59 60 61
• Hong Feng — Hong Family Dou Ling whom Chenfeng slaps after he insults the Han sisters. Chenfeng regards the Han Family’s conflict with the Hong Family as a matter affecting his own interests. 85 86
• Snow Demon Sky Ape — Fifth-Rank Magical Beast associated with the Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid. It becomes Chenfeng’s subordinate, and he later gives it to Nalan Yanran as protection. 88 99
• Ya Fei — Childhood banquet acquaintance from the Mite’er Family. Her family once considered marrying her to Chenfeng, but Nalan Jie rejected the proposal. They reunite in Wu Tan City after his return as a Dou Wang; she raises the former marriage proposal while he considers using the attention surrounding her visit to divert scrutiny from the Xiao Clan and the Ancient Jade. 99 100

Story Role / Major Arcs

Wu Tan City Intervention

Chenfeng arrives at the Xiao Clan as a six-year-old and takes it upon himself to monitor Xiao Yan, protect Xun’er from his nighttime intrusions, and preserve the Xiao–Nalan engagement. His Nalan Clan status also strengthens the Xiao Clan’s position against the Oba and Jia Lie Clans. 1 4

Nalan Clan Prodigy

After returning to the Imperial Capital, Chenfeng trains toward Dou Zhe while recognizing that Nalan Jie’s Scorch Poison threatens the Nalan Clan’s future. His breakthrough at age ten turns him into a political target for the Imperial Family, the Mite’er Family, and the Misty Cloud Sect. 8 10 17

Jia Nan Academy Student

Chenfeng enters Jia Nan Academy as a Three-Star Dou Zhe, joins Xuan Tier Class Three, and pursues the Inner Academy’s Earth Tier cultivation methods. He rejects reliance on his family name and establishes a demanding cultivation routine. 21 23 24

Black-Corner Region Enforcement

After joining the Enforcement Team, Chenfeng gains practical combat experience in the Black-Corner Region. His defeat of the stronger Yin Tu marks his transition into a composed, lethal combatant willing to kill when necessary. 25

Return to the Jia Ma Empire

Chenfeng revisits Xiao Yan during the latter’s period of humiliation, encourages him without revealing Yao Chen’s role in draining his Dou Qi, and secures an agreement for unspecified future favors. He then searches Qingshan Town for the hidden Dou Wang cave and claims its treasures. 28 29 32

Inner Academy Selection

As a Four-Star Dou Ling, Chenfeng dominates the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, proposes a free-for-all final format, and obtains the Mid Earth Tier Heavenly Flame Art from the Library Pavilion. He also acquires the Low Earth Tier Mystic Frost Art for Han Yue. 39 40 44 45

Fire Energy Hunting Tournament

After advancing to Five-Star Dou Ling, Chenfeng leads a freshman team into the Fire Energy Hunting Tournament. Using Purple Cloud Wings and his overwhelming strength, he reverses the usual newcomer disadvantage by seizing hundreds of days of Fire Energy from senior-student teams. 48 49 50

He continues until his Fire Energy reaches 1,925, then pressures Su Bai and Jin Long of the Black Fiend and White Fiend Teams into surrendering their cards, bringing his total to 3,452. The academy rewards his performance with a Crimson Fire Crystal Card, and the freshmen pass into the Inner Academy. 51

Inner Academy Life and Wind Pavilion

Chenfeng and Han Yue settle together in Courtyard Number Seven in the East District. She asks him to accompany her to the Central Plains when her family summons her in a year, while he begins cultivating in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Elder Liu explains the Heartfire Scorching trial and warns him against descending too deeply despite his card’s privileges. 53 56

After reaching Six-Star Dou Ling, Chenfeng confronts Nine-Star Dou Ling Cheng Yue over his treatment of Han Yue. Their initial exchange demonstrates the difference in their cultivation, but Chenfeng subsequently inflicts severe injuries with an attack the spectators cannot explain. He then announces his intention to establish a faction to counter the dominance of the older students’ groups; this organization becomes the Wind Pavilion. 59 60 61 66

Strong Ranking Tournament and Dou Wang Breakthrough

Over just more than five months, Chenfeng progresses from Six-Star to Nine-Star Dou Ling, periodically leaving the tower to clear Fire Poison. He aims for the Strong Ranking Tournament’s reward so that Origin Heart Flame tempering can help him reach Dou Wang. 66

He defeats Zhao Ming with one punch, then persuades Ziyan to surrender in exchange for future assistance finding medicinal ingredients, securing first place. After Origin Heart Flame tempering and more than two additional months of cultivation, he reaches Peak Nine-Star Dou Ling and breaks through to Dou Wang. His advancement increases Time Stop’s duration to four breaths and permits two successive activations. 68 69

Treasure Hunting with Ziyan

Fulfilling his arrangement with Ziyan, Chenfeng participates in medicinal-ingredient expeditions. He breaks the energy restriction protecting a Seven-Leaf Xuanbing Lotus, stores it, and flees before its Sixth-Rank Aquatic Cyan Scaled Dragon guardian can return. 68 71

Later, he asks Ziyan to locate the Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid guarded by a Fifth-Rank Snow Demon Sky Ape. He collects most of the primal fluid and more than one hundred bottles of diluted fluid, deliberately leaving enough for the deposit to form again. Back at the academy, he shares an enhanced bottle with Han Yue. 88 92

Han Family Betrothal and Central Plains Training

After Han Yue’s uncle Han Tian arrives in Canaan City, Chenfeng accompanies her to meet him. Han Tian is astonished by his youth and Dou Wang cultivation and readily welcomes the relationship. Chenfeng then travels with Han Yue to the Central Plains, viewing the Han Family connection as a foothold there. 75 76 77 78

Han Chi and the Han elders approve the engagement and allow Chenfeng to study the family’s Dou Techniques. During half a month of training, he develops initial mastery of the Flame Dragon Splitting Sky Slash and reaches the fifth turn of Han Tian’s Nine-Turn Wind Roaming Step. He also publicly defends Han Yue and Han Xue by slapping Hong Feng after the latter insults them. 82 83 85 86

Six-Star Dou Wang Cultivation

After returning from the Central Plains, Chenfeng completes his Four-Star Dou Wang breakthrough. He then uses Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid alongside the tower’s fire energy to reach Five-Star Dou Wang in less than two months and Six-Star Dou Wang three months later. He maintains a routine of clearing Fire Poison every seven or eight days before returning to cultivation. 89 93

Xiao–Nalan Engagement Dispute

Chenfeng returns to the Xiao Clan at sixteen as a Six-Star Dou Wang, interrupting the fallout from Nalan Yanran’s public attempt to dissolve her engagement. He makes Xiao Yan apologize for his insults, kicks him to the floor, and publicly slaps Yanran for bringing Misty Cloud Sect members to pressure the Xiao Clan and disrespecting the families’ elders. He states that the engagement has long since become meaningless and leaves Xiao Zhan to accept its dissolution. 96 97

His intervention prevents the dispute from proceeding in the form of Xiao Yan’s proposed humiliating repudiation of Yanran. Although he condemns his sister’s methods, he remains protective of her and reminds her not to let Xiao Yan’s provocations dictate her actions. Afterward, he reconciles with her, gives her the Snow Demon Sky Ape and Earth Core Body-Tempering Fluid, and sends her toward the Imperial Capital. 97 99

Ya Fei’s Visit and the Ancient Jade

The appearance of Chenfeng and a Fifth-Rank Magical Beast in Wu Tan City draws Ya Fei to the Xiao Clan. Chenfeng agrees to receive her and considers exploiting the resulting attention to draw scrutiny away from the Xiao Clan and conceal matters involving the Ancient Jade. 99

During their meeting, Ya Fei recalls their acquaintance at an Imperial Capital banquet seven years earlier and raises her family’s former attempt to arrange their marriage. Chenfeng remains unmoved by her flirtation and dismisses the importance of fame limited to the Jia Ma Empire. Separately, Yao Lao assesses his Six-Star Dou Wang foundation and Peak Dou Emperor-level soul strength as extraordinary even among prodigies. 100 101
