Background / History
Family Losses and Ye Qing’s Recovery
Ye Feng lost his son, then his grandson, who died fighting Evil Soul Masters during a Shrek Inspection Corps mission. His great-grandson Ye Qing became the last surviving descendant of his family line and his only remaining relative. Ye Qing’s parents were killed on the same mission as Bei Bei’s parents, by the same Soul Douluo Evil Soul Master 1 3.
After Mu En diagnosed Ye Qing with a congenitally incomplete soul, Ye Feng sought help at the Golden Tree. In recognition of his longstanding service to Shrek, Mu En allowed the child to remain near its healing radiance. When Ye Feng returned from academy business and found Ye Qing behaving normally, he tearfully credited Lord Sea God with a miracle 1.
Ye Feng continued using valuable resources to strengthen Ye Qing’s body before his martial soul awakening. He also recognized the Golden Tree leaves Mu En had supplied for the boy’s tea 3 9.
Martial Soul Awakening and Apprenticeship
Ye Feng personally conducted Ye Qing’s awakening ceremony. Seeing a winged white tiger with golden eyes, he identified it as the Radiant Sacred Tiger and was astonished that his Shadow Tiger lineage could produce such a powerful martial soul 9.
The awakening gave him hope that the Ye Family could rise beyond his own limitations. After confirming Ye Qing’s innate full soul power, he enthusiastically encouraged the boy to accept Mu En’s offer of discipleship 10 11.
While Mu En took responsibility for advanced instruction, Ye Feng taught the foundational material supplied after the apprenticeship ceremony. He guided Ye Qing through Shrek’s advanced meditation method and assessed his first cultivation session to plan suitable training and resources 12 13.
Soul Hunting and Continued Training
Ye Feng supervised Ye Qing’s first two soul hunts and much of his early conditioning. His involvement combined direct protection, resource preparation, and carefully selected opportunities for practical combat 14 15 27 28.
| Event | Ye Feng’s contribution |
|---|---|
| Preparation for the first soul ring | Organized three months of intensive training and premium nutrition; judged Ye Qing capable of absorbing a seven- or eight-hundred-year ring 14. |
| Light Unicorn hunt | Transported Ye Qing to the Star Dou Great Forest, restrained a seven-hundred-year Light Unicorn, and provided the sword used to kill it 15 16. |
| Wings of Light discovery | Found the external soul bone while processing the unicorn’s corpse and explained its ability to grow with its owner 16 18. |
| Light Spirit hunt | Supervised Ye Qing’s first fight against a Light Spirit and searched Heavenly Dawn Peak for a suitable second ring 26 27. |
| 6,800-year second ring | Initially rejected the risk, then agreed after Ye Qing cited the Wings of Light. He weakened the spirit and remained ready to interrupt a dangerous absorption 28. |
| Ultimate light confirmation | Tested Ye Qing’s evolved attribute and discovered that neutralizing its light required five times as much of his own darkness soul power 30. |
| Preparation for the third ring | Helped carry out Mu En’s conditioning regimen; later asked Mu En to select Ye Qing’s third soul-ring source 33 35. |
Appearance
- An elderly man with an aged face; the narration describes him as a century-old man 11.
- Has a beard, from which he accidentally pulls several strands while marveling at Ye Qing’s soul-power control 27.
Personality
Ye Feng is deeply attached to Ye Qing, whose survival represents both his remaining family and the continuation of the Ye lineage. He cries with joy at the child’s recovery and again at the discovery of innate full soul power. Even Ye Qing’s shift toward a quieter personality alarms him, making him fear another collapse of the boy’s soul 1 9 11.
His pride does not override his concern for safety. Although he privately considers Ye Qing capable of reaching the highest ranks, he avoids publicizing that potential before the boy matures. He initially refuses the 6,800-year second ring because the possible benefit cannot justify losing his great-grandson 14 23 27 28.
He is strongly loyal to Shrek and recognizes how its resources enabled his own cultivation. He eagerly welcomes Ye Qing’s closer connection to Mu En, though his expectations of formal respect are stricter than Mu En’s: he is dissatisfied with the simplicity of the apprenticeship ceremony but does not object in front of the Pavilion Master 10 11 12.
Abilities & Skills
Shadow Tiger and Darkness Soul Power
Ye Feng’s Shadow Tiger is an agility-attack martial soul supported by nine soul rings 1.
- Tiger-claw manifestation: Forms a gigantic gray-black claw to pin down a Light Unicorn 16.
- Attribute erosion: Uses darkness soul power to wear away a Light Spirit’s opposing light energy 28.
- Soul-power shaping: Creates a darkness-attribute whip for Ye Qing’s endurance training 33.
- Limitation: His darkness is inferior in attribute quality to Ye Qing’s ultimate light despite his vastly greater soul-power reserves 30.
Speed and Aerial Transport
His agility specialization allows him to carry Ye Qing through the air and reach the Star Dou Great Forest shortly after sunrise after departing before dawn 15.
- Transports and protects Ye Qing during soul hunts 15 16.
- Cannot keep pace with Ye Qing’s Holy Light Shuttle, which leaves him far behind during its demonstration 31.
Soul Core
Ye Feng has condensed a soul core. His total soul power is described as exceeding that of even a hundred Ye Qings at rank twenty-five 30.
Cultivation Instruction and Assessment
As a Sea God Pavilion Senior Elder, Ye Feng is qualified to teach foundational Soul Master knowledge and Shrek’s advanced meditation method 12 13.
- Guides soul power through the correct meridians until Ye Qing can cultivate independently 13.
- Estimates cultivation aptitude from both the duration and efficiency of energy absorption 13.
- Examines physical strength to determine a suitable soul-ring age 14.
- Identifies soul-beast age through species-specific features or soul-power fluctuations 16 26 27.
Training Methods
| Method | Application |
|---|---|
| Gravity-assisted running | Uses an earth-attribute Soul Master’s gravity field rather than unevenly distributed weights 14. |
| Swimming | Builds endurance in Sea God Lake, retrieving Ye Qing once he is exhausted 14. |
| Target and reflex drills | Develops punches, kicks, and reactions with targets and soul tools 14. |
| Surprise attacks | Trains persistent vigilance and rapid defensive responses 26 48. |
| Soul-power pressure and whipping | Implements Mu En’s regimen to improve endurance, physical strength, and healing control 33. |
| Controlled aerial falls | Repeatedly drops and catches Ye Qing to overcome his fear of heights 33. |
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Storage soul tool — Stores butchered soul-beast meat and temporarily holds Ye Qing’s Light-Breaking Soul Bone 16 21.
- Soul Power Testing Orb — Supplies the orb used to confirm Ye Qing’s innate full soul power and later test his level after his first ring 10 17.
- Short sword — Gives it to Ye Qing to kill the restrained Light Unicorn, then uses it to process the corpse 16.
- Light Spirit left-leg soul bone — Receives the bone from the 6,800-year Light Spirit for safekeeping; no absorption by Ye Feng is stated 28.
Relationships
- Ye Qing — Great-grandson, sole surviving descendant, and primary pupil during early cultivation. Although they address each other as grandfather and grandson, their exact relationship is great-grandfather and great-grandson 1 9 13.
- Mu En — Pavilion Master and superior, whom Ye Feng respectfully calls Elder Mu. Mu En assists Ye Qing’s recovery, becomes his teacher, and directs his advanced development 1 2 11 33.
- Bei Bei — Ye Qing’s childhood friend. Ye Feng takes Ye Qing to observe Bei Bei’s martial soul awakening 9.
- Little Light Spirit — Ye Qing’s soul-beast companion. Ye Feng warns that a tamed soul beast may eventually turn against Soul Masters; he does not understand how Ye Qing’s Light of the Holy Hall sustains her attachment 30 31.
