C43 Lowergrade Level 7 Main Bloodline

"With my current lower-grade, third-class talent at its limit, the idea of mastering the Bone Crushing Hand to perfection in just five to six days is nothing short of a fantasy."

"Thankfully, I possess the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower. Its third-layer space, the House of Time, allows for an expanded timeframe for cultivation, provided I have sufficient origin fluid."

"Yet, the House of Time demands an exorbitant amount of origin fluid. I must advance the Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art to the pinnacle of the first layer to sustain it."

Han Feng estimated that the amount of origin fluid needed to maintain the House of Time for several days could potentially allow him to reach the middle stage of the late mortal rank.

But Han Feng wasn't pained by the expenditure, nor did he entertain the notion of hoarding the origin fluid for personal use.

Firstly, Han Feng's cultivation had skyrocketed in just a few days, and he could no longer fully control the energy within his body.

To achieve perfect control, he needed a few days to adjust.

Once adjusted, he could resume refining without hindering his own cultivation progress.

Secondly, the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower, with its seven distinct levels, clearly had its purposes; otherwise, a single level would have sufficed.

Han Feng's Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art was already nearing its peak, and with minimal energy expenditure this time, he successfully reached the top.

Attaining the top of the first layer meant that he could refine any lower-class lower-grade spirit stone.

Upon reaching the late mortal rank, his internal strength would coalesce into fire attribute genuine qi, creating Han Feng's unique mortal fire. This, combined with the mortal fire generated by the Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art, would merge into an even more formidable flame.

In time, as Han Feng's cultivation foundation climbed, he would be able to refine lower-grade spirit stones of medium, upper, and even top quality into origin fluid, ensuring complete absorption without any waste.

As for medium-class spirit stones, they required the Blue Luan Jade Fire from the second layer of the Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art to be refined into origin fluid.

However, the Blue Luan Jade Fire belonged to the realm of Exotic Flames, which couldn't be produced merely through secluded cultivation.

The first layer of the Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art could be mastered through personal cultivation, but to achieve the second, third, and ultimately the ninth and highest layer, one needed the aid of fire attribute Spirit Creatures.

Take the Fiery Fruit, for instance, a Human Rank Spirit Fruit.

Han Feng had already mapped out his strategy. Once the family trials were over and his cultivation foundation advanced further, he planned to journey forth in search of fire attribute Spirit Fruits.

With the Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art's first layer honed to the top echelon, he still had one-quarter of the energy remaining.

Han Feng directed the leftover origin fluid into the second layer.

The Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower's second level housed the Spirit Spring that enhanced aptitude.

Owing to the substantial energy this time, the resulting crimson Spirit Spring was significantly deeper in hue than before.

Han Feng wasted no time immersing himself in the Spirit Spring to soak up its benefits, steadily elevating his aptitude.

Yet, such enhancement wasn't something that could be achieved quickly. Each day, Han Feng carved out time to refine Lower-grade Lower-grade Spirit Stones and practice the Bone Crushing Hand technique.

Once he had accumulated more origin fluid, Han Feng channeled it into the Third-layer Space.

At last, the Third-layer Space of the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower was unveiled.

Within this space, Han Feng was engulfed by a murky grayness, devoid of any perception, as if ensnared in a void.

Here, the flow of time was imperceptible to him.

He knew that once the origin fluid in the Third-layer Space was depleted, he would be automatically transported out.

Inherited memories informed Han Feng that the House of Time within the Third-layer was segmented into ten levels. He was at the very first level, which varied from one and a half to three times the normal rate.

In other words, a single day outside equated to a maximum of three days within the current level of the House of Time.

Han Feng set the House of Time to the maximum ratio of the first level, a three-to-one time dilation.

Observing the rapid depletion of the origin fluid, Han Feng couldn't help but furrow his brow, "At this rate, even if I dedicate daily time to refining Lower-class Lower-grade Spirit Stones, the House of Time won't be active for even a full day."

"Forget it, I'll just have to make do with the limited spirit stones I have for now. This pace is sustainable."

Within the confines of the House of Time, Han Feng commenced his training in the Bone Crushing Hand technique.

Leveraging his lower-grade third-level genius aptitude and his experience with the Claw Condensation Technique, he found the Bone Crushing Hand relatively easy to grasp.

Both the Bone Crushing Hand and the Claw Condensation Technique shared secrets that lay in the mastery of the hands, which significantly streamlined Han Feng's learning process.

It didn't take long for Han Feng to be astounded by the formidable offensive power of the Bone Crushing Hand.

The technique was segmented into three tiers. At the first tier, the Small Completion Stage, a single grasp on an opponent's hand or limb would suffice to shatter all bones in that arm or the surrounding area under the technique's explosive force.

The Bone Crushing Hand was indeed a potent move among the basic upper-grade martial skills.

The second tier, known as the Great Completion Stage, allowed Han Feng to fracture the bones in half of an opponent's body with a grip on any part.

The third and final tier, the Perfection Stage, meant that capturing just an opponent's wrist and channeling the technique's internal strength could lead to the shattering of bones throughout the entire body.

It was clear that in combat, one must never let a practitioner of the Bone Crushing Hand latch onto any part of their body, or they would sustain severe injuries.

A martial cultivator who had perfected the Bone Crushing Hand could easily be lethal, ending a fight in mere moments.

Should all of a person's bones be crushed, not even a heaven-rank martial cultivator could survive.

The Bone Crushing Hand was one of the few basic martial skills with the power to threaten those at the human rank.

Were it not for the human-rank martial cultivators' ability to attack from a distance, and the Bone Crushing Hand's requirement for close combat, it might well have been classified as a human-rank martial skill.

Time flew by, and before I knew it, two days had elapsed.

Han Feng's aptitude had soared to the pinnacle of the lower-grade second class. It wouldn't be long before he could enhance it further, ascending to the lower-grade first class.

This boost in aptitude enabled Han Feng to gain a quicker mastery over the surging Internal Strength within him, and he found himself more adept at practicing the Bone Crushing Hand.

He had now cultivated the Bone Crushing Hand to its First Layer, achieving the Small Completion Stage of the technique.

If Instructor Lin and those aware of the Bone Crushing Hand's challenging nature were to find out, they would be utterly astounded, rendered speechless by his progress.

Two days later, the Red Spirit Water in the second level of the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower neared transparency.

Suddenly, a potent suction emerged from within Han Feng, draining the already dwindling Red Spirit Water entirely into his body.

Simultaneously, Han Feng's aptitude underwent another purification, elevating him from the lower-grade second class straight to the lower-grade first class!

His fierce Internal Strength burst forth, and the now-clear Spirit Water scattered in all directions. Wrapped in this surge of power, Han Feng slowly opened his eyes.

"I've made another breakthrough. I am now a martial cultivator with seven Main Bloodlines unlocked. Just one more, and I'll reach the peak of the Middle Period of Mortal Rank!"
