**SPOILER ALERT!**
***This page/section shows content not covered by the current translations.***

**Duan Liufeng** is the head of the Hidden Dragon elders of the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, with the disguise of an elder in the North Tortoise Hall.

## Personality

Duan Liufeng has the tendency to appear weak in front of people to get to know their personality after being affected by a certain poison which eroded his cultivation initially but gave him a very high battle power.

## Pre-Novel

Duan Liufeng became a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect over 3000 years ago. Back then he was known as the most talented junior of his time in the sect, going as far as being a leader among the disciples. His talent was so high that the Sect master was determined to groom him as the successor of the sect. A specially prepared test was created by the sect master to test his qualifications.

However not only did he fail the test, but he also nearly died and his cultivation was regressed. It took the combined efforts of several powerful elders of the sect and the vice sect master to manage to save his life. Because of the incident and losing his cultivation he was relegated to the outer sect, where he spent the rest of his life.

## Novel

### Volume 9 - Birth of Asura

It is said by the unknown entity observing Chu Feng undergoing the trial to enter Hidden Dragon Martial Sect that he/she had altered Duan Liufeng's memory to help Chu Feng into the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect. Duan Liufeng was a genius from 3000 years ago, who fell into hard times after suffering a serious injury, as his dantian was poisoned by a vicious being. This also caused his cultivation to regress, which resulted him being mocked by other sect members who used to be respectful towards him. This however turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him, as he soon learned to control the vicious energy to swiftly recover his cultivation. However, since he was already demoted to an outer hall elder, he told the sectmaster that he would continue to remain in that position. This resulted in creating two identities for him- as his true self, he continued to pose as an outer hall elder, while his mysterious other identity continued to rise among the ranks of hidden dragon elders, to become the chief hidden dragon elder. He is currently the third strongest in the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect.

Later, when Duan Liufeng brings Chu Feng in, he was mocked by the other outer hall elders, because of Chu Feng's poor display of talent (at that point Chu Feng's three souls and seven essences were sealed by the hidden dragon soul armour). Later he accepts Chu Feng as a disciple in name as well as a brother when the latter sticks to his request for Duan Liufeng as his master even after knowing Duan Liufeng's situation.

Duan Liufeng is revealed to be the head of the Hidden Dragon Elders after Nangong Chunyue tried to kill Chu Feng for killing Nangong Yuliu. It is also revealed that the weak side is shown to people so that they lower their guard around him. Duan Liufeng's true cultivation is in Martial Exalted Realm. However, he explains to Chu Feng that he had temporarily sealed off his true cultivation, and that is why Chu Feng had not been able to sense his true cultivation.
