Gao Feng
Gao Feng is the veteran captain of the Fire Hammer squad who leads Luo Feng through his first wilderness hunts. A powerful close-range fighter and an experienced field commander, he balances profitable monster hunting with responsibility for the lives and livelihoods of his squad.
Biography
Forging a wilderness team
When Luo Feng joins the Fire Hammer squad, Gao Feng has already spent years in the wilderness and commands an established group of older fighters. He welcomes the rookie without indulging him, directing Luo Feng to learn from Wei Tie and Wei Qing, then watching closely enough to recognize the promise in Luo Feng's movement technique. In the field he chooses routes around threats the squad cannot safely control, selects defensible observation points, sets rest schedules, and assigns each member a precise role before an attack. His objective is not simply to kill the strongest available monster, but to keep a professional hunting unit alive while making its risks worthwhile. (Chapters 40–48)
That responsibility becomes personal when the Tiger Fang squad ambushes the team. A shot meant for Gao Feng instead maims Zhang Ke, and an attracted monster horde nearly destroys the entire squad before Luo Feng reveals his spirit-reader power to save them. Gao Feng first orders emergency treatment, then accepts Luo Feng's wish to keep that power secret and promises the squad's cooperation. Back at the resupplying base, he confronts the Tiger Fang captain despite lacking evidence strong enough for official action, but does not let anger erase his obligations: he allocates most of the twin-tailed ocelot proceeds to the disabled Zhang Ke, reduces his own share, and credits each member according to contribution. His handling of the disaster turns a near-annihilation into a renewed compact among the survivors, even as the desire for revenge remains. (Chapters 49–56)
The risks of #003 City
With Luo Feng's strength raising the squad's prospects, Gao Feng leads the reduced team into the far more dangerous #003 City. He provides the experience that converts Luo Feng's raw power into sustainable hunting: maintaining formation, controlling noise, identifying monster ranks, guarding the squad's rear, and timing attacks and withdrawals. During the fight against a twin-headed black-striped snake, Gao Feng works alongside unfamiliar Indian fighters and follows Luo Feng's improvised plan, driving his hammer at one head while Luo Feng adds spiritual force to the strike. The combined blow helps create an opening against the monster and confirms Gao Feng's role as both frontline force and practical coordinator. (Chapters 67–74)
The same expedition brings the Fire Hammer and Tiger Fang squads face to face again. Gao Feng recognizes that their enemies are likely planning another attack and accepts Luo Feng's proposal to pursue them alone, but he refuses to expose the rest of the team merely to satisfy their anger: he orders Chen Gu to stand down, sends the squad back toward the resupplying base, and warns Luo Feng not to mistake superior escape ability for invulnerability. This decision transfers the revenge mission to the one member capable of surviving it while removing the others from an escalating conflict, leaving Gao Feng responsible for getting his people and their hard-won materials home. (Chapter 74)
Loyalty under an astronomical bounty
After the Tiger Fang captain and his companions die, an enormous bounty places every known spirit reader under suspicion. Gao Feng immediately calls Luo Feng to warn him that disclosure of his identity could make him a target and says he will ensure the other squad members keep the secret. Yet the reward also unsettles Gao Feng himself: when Luo Feng returns, Gao Feng studies his demeanor for signs of guilt and privately admits that even he has been thrown off by the sum before choosing to stop pursuing the thought. The episode does not establish that he intended to betray Luo Feng; it instead shows the strain that extraordinary money places on trust between fighters whose survival depends on one another. (Chapters 94–95)
Gao Feng subsequently resumes the squad's ordinary fellowship rather than acting on that temptation. He gathers the members, includes the retired Zhang Ke in their reunion, and again administers the proceeds of their hunt according to contribution, giving Luo Feng control of his portion so it can support his Dojo advancement. His conduct restores the working relationship without erasing the moment of doubt, and the squad returns to the wilderness with Gao Feng and Luo Feng serving as its principal combat force. (Chapters 95–96)
The Fire Hammer squad's last hunt
During the squad's final expedition, Gao Feng continues to manage both danger and morale as the veterans begin considering retirement. He joins Luo Feng against commander-level monsters, persuades him not to exhaust himself through relentless solo training, and responds to a distress signal from another Dojo of Limits team because he regards aiding fellow members as an obligation. When headquarters abruptly removes Luo Feng from the squad for elite training, Gao Feng and the others understand that their long-standing formation can no longer continue. (Chapters 104–107)
At the final settlement, Gao Feng accepts Luo Feng's proposal to divide the last proceeds equally even though the two of them had earned the largest combat shares. The choice gives the retiring members more support and lets the squad end as a brotherhood rather than as a final accounting dispute. After drinking together through the night, the Fire Hammer squad officially disbands: Chen Gu and the Wei brothers retire, Luo Feng leaves for headquarters, and Gao Feng chooses to continue his fighter career with another squad. (Chapter 109)
Appearance and personality
Gao Feng is a little over 180 centimeters tall and exceptionally solidly built, with a body compared to steel bars and hard, rocklike facial muscles. His heavy build matches his direct close-range fighting style, although the corpus does not provide further stable details about his hair, eyes, or clothing beyond normal fighter equipment. (Chapter 40)
In command, Gao Feng is cautious, observant, and blunt. He can be openly furious when his people are harmed, but his decisions repeatedly prioritize squad survival, care for an injured member, and equitable distribution of earnings. He is also capable of self-scrutiny: the astronomical bounty briefly tempts him to question Luo Feng, and the narration presents that doubt as something he recognizes and deliberately sets aside rather than a feeling he acts upon. (Chapters 44–56, 74, and 94–95)
Abilities and progression
Gao Feng is an experienced close-range fighter whose strength and practical wilderness judgment make him the Fire Hammer squad's main conventional combatant. The corpus establishes his later rank as intermediate-level warlord, but does not identify a named genetic-energy method, trace a detailed advancement sequence, or show him progressing beyond that rank. (Chapters 48–51, 69, and 118)
Intermediate-level warlord physique
Gao Feng's body fitness nears or reaches the intermediate-warlord level, giving him the strength to engage a low-level commander monster alone. Against a twin-tailed ocelot, he meets its charge with two heavy hammers, fractures one of its limbs, and keeps pressing so it cannot return to his wounded comrades. Other fighters regard his power as comparable to the Tiger Fang captain's, but also identify speed as his relative weakness; his physical senses improve with fitness enough that he alone among his squad can identify distant attackers after the sniper ambush. These capabilities make him formidable against individual commander-level targets, not invulnerable to hordes or long-range surprise attacks. (Chapters 48–51 and 62)
Twin-hammer combat
Gao Feng fights with a pair of heavy hammers, using full-body force and repeated crushing blows rather than the speed-centered methods demonstrated by some other fighters. He can hold a commander-level monster's attention and damage its limbs, allowing teammates to attack or escape, while his coordinated strike against the twin-headed black-striped snake shows how his power can be amplified by Luo Feng's spiritual force. The corpus demonstrates the weapons' impact and team applications, but does not name Gao Feng's hammer technique, explain a special activation mechanic, or establish supernatural effects belonging to the hammers themselves. (Chapters 48 and 73)
Wilderness command and fieldcraft
Years of hunting give Gao Feng strong operational judgment. He reads monster behavior and rank, uses high buildings and binoculars to survey several kilometers of ruined city, avoids nests whose numbers would overwhelm the squad, regulates noise and gunfire, assigns formations, and decides when accumulated materials justify withdrawal. He also knows how to dissect valuable corpses and administer fighter-squad shares, including injury compensation. These skills do not remove uncertainty—the Tiger Fang ambush catches him unaware, and he initially underestimates an ocelot's burst of speed—but he responds to failures by treating casualties, reorganizing the team, and narrowing later risks. (Chapters 44–56, 69, 74, and 96)
Relationships
- Luo Feng: Gao Feng begins as Luo Feng's captain and evaluator, then increasingly treats him as the squad's coequal main force. He protects Luo Feng's spirit-reader secret, relies on his exceptional abilities, briefly doubts him under the pressure of the bounty, and ultimately parts from him as a trusted comrade when headquarters recruits Luo Feng.
- Chen Gu: Chen Gu is one of Gao Feng's long-serving squadmates and his principal ranged fighter. Gao Feng relies on his firepower but firmly controls when he may shoot, and later prevents him from joining Luo Feng's dangerous pursuit of the Tiger Fang squad.
- Wei Tie and Wei Qing: The brothers serve under Gao Feng through the squad's major wilderness hunts. He positions them in the team's formation, shares proceeds according to their support, and remains with them until they choose retirement.
- Zhang Ke: Gao Feng has fought beside Zhang Ke for seven or eight years and regards him as a brother. After a bullet intended for Gao Feng ends Zhang Ke's active career, he prioritizes Zhang Ke's treatment, compensation, and continued place in the squad's fellowship.
- Zhang Ze Hu: Zhang Ze Hu's hostility toward Luo Feng helps drive the broader Tiger Fang conflict. Gao Feng treats that squad as a lethal threat after its ambush and organizes his own team around surviving and ultimately ending the danger.
