    Chapters 11 onwards are basically the entire story, and the tagline "My name is Yang Feng, Feng as in maple leaf, not 'mad' as in 'mad'" is a high-martial arts story, not an infinite flow novel. After interviewing people around him, I came to this conclusion: He's not like a human being, but rather like a god with a touch of humanity. (The material was provided by someone else, it's not my fault.) (Please don't criticize.)
