Ren Feiyu

Secret Faction

Ren Feiyu is the chief of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. He also holds the military rank of general.

## Biography

Ren Feiyu is Ling Xiao's peer and long-time competitor. As a young boy, he inexplicably came into the possession of an innate talent replicating device.

Years later, he inherited the Flying Dragon Special Forces only after Ling Xiao refused the position. He was groomed as the First Marshal's successor after his old rival's "death", but was somewhat cast aside after Ling Xiao's return to the Federation.

While some believe him to be Ling Xiao's friend, he's actually deeply jealous of him. This led to the two major attempts on Ling Xiao's life. While the first failed, it still cost the victim 16 years of his life. The second, while successful, resulted in unforseen complications. As Ling Xiao drew his last breath, Ren Feiyu stole what he thought was the former's Duplication innate talent. What he got, however, was Devour, since Little Four had already transported most of the Duplication Core to the learning space. Subsequently, Ling Xiao's Devour innate talent took over its host's conscience, thus keeping Ling Xiao's Devour core alive. It gained a portion of Ren Feiyu's memories, but due to the missing Duplication core, was unable to sustain Ling Xiao's former balanced, gentle aura, giving away a demonic one instead, which it struggled to suppress. Even so, Ling Xiao managed to cheat death, defeat a powerful enemy, and gain a second chance at keeping his family safe.

Despite his numerous plots against Ling Xiao and Ling Lan, Ren Feiyu ended up saving the father and was unable to kill the "son".

## Current Goals (as Ling Xiao)

Ling Xiao wants to use Ren Feiyu's identity to remove all the dangers to Ling Lan and Lan Luofeng in the Federation, possibly propelling his daughter to power in the end.

To his deputy, Brigade Leader Cang Lang, he declared his intention of becoming the Federation's only marshal.

No one could see the jealous and hateful look in Ren Feiyu’s eyes. It was just like before when the First Marshal only cared about Ling Xiao. The previous chief of the Flying Dragon Special Forces also saw Ling Xiao as the next in line to take his position. In the end, Ling Xiao didn’t want it, so the chief gave it to Ren Feiyu instead.

Everyone only had Ling Xiao in their eyes. Even if he performed well, even if they were praising him, these people would still add in the last few words at the end of their sentence, ‘Of course, it’s not comparable to Ling Xiao’s records.

He didn’t know when it started, but Ling Xiao became someone he mentally couldn’t surpass. If Ling Xiao was alive, he would feel suffocated every single day. 20 years ago, he finally managed to plot against Ling Xiao and ‘killed’ him. During those years, he was able to sleep at peace and climb to the position he wanted. However, Ling Xiao actually returned alive, and everyone’s gaze fell upon him once again. The First Marshal, who was planning on developing Ren Feiyu to be the next marshal, gazed upon Ling Xiao favorably again. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had done so much for the First Marshal, perhaps he would have been abandoned long ago.

Thus, Ling Xiao must die. This time, however, he was definitely going to see it for himself. In the end, he got what he wanted.

## History

This thing was something he suddenly acquired when he was just a young boy. He didn’t know what it actually was. Back then, he only felt his head hurt after falling unconscious for a few days. He was clueless about what it was until one day, when he accidentally encountered someone who had just died, this device suddenly spoke up and asked whether he would like to record a newly found energy innate talent. He was curious about its function, so he said he needed it. Then, the device asked him whether he would like to activate it. After succumbing to his curiosity, he fell unconscious again. In the end, he was taken to his parents by the police. They all thought he fell unconscious out of fright after seeing a dead person. Only he knew the real reason why he fainted that day. From that day onwards, he acquired his first innate talent. It was a very useless talent. He had already forgotten what it was. It couldn’t be helped as he could only develop one innate talent at a time. Those who had two innate talents would never become commoners. Ren Feiyu, of course, wanted to continue to be a commoner in the eyes of the public as in doing so, he would attract less attention and less hatred. Thus, after acquiring a better innate talent, he would erase the previous innate talent, slowly growing stronger as time went by.

Ren Feiyu held back the feeling of euphoria coursing through his vein. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Although this device was very beneficial for him, it was still painful whenever he activated the innate talent. The pain coming from the activation of the innate talent couldn’t be avoided. If he wanted to perfectly use the newly acquired innate talent, his body must be modified to accommodate the innate talent. The pain was truly unbearable, it was as if every inch of your body was slowly peeled away. However, in order to become stronger, Ren Feiyu wasn’t afraid of some pain but still, calming himself down would allow him to endure more pain. He didn’t want to fall unconscious half way in just like he did in the past.

Back then he didn’t know about the implications of falling consciousness, but after he did some research, he discovered that the results of activating the innate talents while awake was different from when he was unconscious. When he was awake, the quality of innate talent was higher and the innate talent was more likely to revert to its original state. Being unconscious would lower the quality of the innate talent, and at most he could only obtain half of what it originally was.
