| First retained talent: Energetic | 1 | Completes his sixth simulation with a B grade and retains one blue-quality talent, improving stamina and mental power. |
| Elation anchored; starting talents selected | 1 | Begins a new simulation with Love Expert, Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, and Bronze Skin and Iron Bones. |
| Stellaron vessel | 2 | Kafka implants a Stellaron. Its energy tempers and cleanses his initially frail body. |
| Elation pathstrider; Level 1; B rating | 3 | Aha personally recognizes him. His panel records 300 simulation points and Strength, Constitution, and Spirit of 25 each. |
| +200 Elation points | 5 | Manipulates his discovery by March 7th and Dan Heng so that March gives him rescue breaths. |
| 600 accumulated points | 7 | Receives another 100 points for behavior the system calls shameless. |
| 800 accumulated points | 9 | Gains 200 points for his dramatic performance while covering his companions’ retreat. |
| 900 accumulated points | 10 | Gains 100 points by treating Voidranger attacks as a massage. |
| A rating; 1,200 points | 16 | Spending the night with Asta earns 600 points. This total follows his earlier expenditure of 300 points on an illusion device. |

- Rating thresholds: B requires 300 points, A requires 1,000, and S requires 3,000. These are simulation ratings, not character levels 3.
- Advancement condition: Only an S-rated simulation allows him to enter the next story domain. High alignment with his chosen Path matters more than simply defeating powerful enemies 1.
- Failure condition: Exhausting his available attempts sends him back to the Naruto world. Three attempts remain when he chooses Elation 1.
Background / History
Transmigration and Previous Simulations
Lin Feng was a university student on Blue Star before transmigrating into the Naruto world during the Second Shinobi World War. His friends died, and even six-year-olds were sent into battle. After activating his system, he received a chance to move to another random world and arrived in the world of Honkai: Star Rail 1 22.
By his first appearance, he has completed six Path simulations. Following the story and fighting the Doomsday Beast repeatedly has failed to earn the S grade needed to leave the Herta Space Station domain. Destruction proves too demanding, while he considers Erudition unsuitable for his intelligence. Determined not to return to the war, he chooses Elation and abandons his previous rule-following approach 1.
Stellaron Implantation and the Staged Sacrifice
Silver Wolf prepares his vessel, and Kafka implants the Stellaron. Lin Feng uses his proximity-based affection talent to delay her departure, kisses her without permission, then feigns confusion and calls her his mother when she threatens him. Kafka accepts the apparent memory loss, comforts him, and leaves with Silver Wolf. Aha subsequently recognizes Lin Feng as an Elation pathstrider 2 3.
Lin Feng then pretends to be unconscious so March 7th will revive him. Joining March and Dan Heng, he fights Voidrangers and repeatedly protects March. When the group becomes overwhelmed, he stays behind to cover their retreat, knowing his defensive talent can withstand the enemies 4 5 8 9.
His companions mistake this performance for a fatal sacrifice. Using a purchased holographic device, he makes himself appear mortally wounded and listens as they mourn him and March confesses her love. He ends the deception by introducing faint signs of life before they can proceed with his funeral 10 11 12 13.
Battle Against the Doomsday Beast
After spending the night with Asta, Lin Feng notices that the Doomsday Beast has not attacked at its usual time. He suspects his actions have changed the simulation’s established events 16 17.
When the beast arrives, he refuses evacuation, both to preserve his simulation prospects and because he will not abandon Asta. He fights alongside Himeko, Welt, Dan Heng, and March to buy time for the station’s evacuation 20 22 23.
Drawing on previous simulations, Lin Feng provokes the beast into firing its strongest ray, intending to awaken his Stellaron by taking the blast directly. He shields Himeko, survives, and severely injures the creature. His power expires before he can finish it with a second strike; Asta’s purchased Star Destroyer ultimately defeats the beast 24 25 26 28.
Station Hero and Conflicting Romances
Following the battle, Lin Feng becomes celebrated throughout the station. Asta gives him access to custom phones and a black card containing one billion Credits. Although interested in joining the Astral Express, he chooses to remain while Himeko recovers 31 32 33.
He gathers researchers’ contacts and joins anonymous chat groups to expand his knowledge for future simulations. When Fragmentum corrosion strands researchers in the Storage Zone, he clears the monsters, restores elevator power, and rescues them 35 38.
His investigation into rumors about Asta brings him into contact with Pamela, who demands provocative photographs of Himeko as payment for information. He accepts the bargain and visits Himeko’s hospital room. Asta later credits him with stopping the slander at its source and restoring her reputation 39 41 44.
Lin Feng accepts Asta’s confession, but March secretly witnesses their affection and leaves heartbroken. The resulting achievement makes him recognize the danger of a romantic rivalry, and he resolves not to give up either woman. Himeko encourages March to pursue him rather than retreat from her feelings 45 46 47 49.
Appearance
Lin Feng is consistently described as a handsome young man with a tall, lean, muscular build 1 2 5.
- Sharp brows and an expressive face frequently used in his performances 1 11.
- Broad, muscular back and sharply defined abdominal muscles 6 13 14.
- Clothing distinct from station uniforms, prompting March to question his identity 8.
- Silver, starlight-colored flames surround him during his temporary Stellaron awakening 25.
Personality
Lin Feng is pragmatic, irreverent, and willing to discard his dignity to survive. His fear of returning to the Naruto world drives his pursuit of an S rating. Once he discovers that outrageous performances earn Elation points, he treats situations—including his own apparent death—as opportunities to entertain Aha 1 9 10 11.
He is flirtatious and manipulative, using calculated dialogue, feigned amnesia, apparent vulnerability, and affection-enhancing talents to influence women. His misconduct includes stealing Kafka’s kiss and touching Himeko while believing she is unconscious 2 6 15 41.
His self-interest coexists with genuine attachment. He refuses to leave Asta behind during the Doomsday Beast attack and does not regard another simulation attempt as a replacement for their relationship. When his romances collide, he wants to keep both Asta and March in his life rather than abandon either 20 47.
Abilities & Skills
Path Simulation System

- Makes his body as tough as steel when activated 1.
- Lets him withstand massed Voidranger weapon strikes and a Trampler’s stomping with little apparent discomfort 10.
- His durability may also benefit from being a Stellaron vessel; Lin Feng himself is unsure how much each contributes 9 10.
Affection Talents and Acting
- Love Expert / Love Master: Improves conversational techniques and affection-building methods. Lin Feng uses it to improvise explanations and deliberately shape others’ impressions 1 2 6.
- Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder: Passively increases affection through close contact; closer proximity produces a faster effect 1 2.
- Feigns memory loss, injury, mistaken identity, and death to conceal his knowledge or elicit emotional responses 2 5 11 15.
- His fabricated claim that he once worked as a station deck cleaner is part of his performance, not an established occupation 15.
Baseball Bat Combat
- Develops familiarity with his weapon through six previous simulations rather than selecting the offered Weapon Master talent 1 5.
- Star Ace: Channels azure or cyan energy into sweeping bat strikes, shattering frozen enemies and knocking multiple Voidrangers off a bridge 6 9.
- Can block a Doomsday Beast’s claw, though the impact drives him back dozens of meters 23.
Stellaron Power
- Possesses powerful explosive potential as a human merged with a Stellaron 3.
- Awakening produces silver flames, greatly enhanced movement, and an enormous phantom bat capable of severely injuring a planet-destroying monster 25.

- Retains improved physical capabilities after the temporary surge ends 38.
