C87 Human Rank Three Star!

Upon Lin Qingshan's revelation, Han Feng experienced a moment of clarity, and any lingering reluctance dissipated.

With the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower in his possession—a tool that defied the heavens—why chase after anything else? He knew he must measure his ambitions against his capabilities.

If he couldn't secure the Flame Vermilion Fruit, he trusted the Sun family to be generous, considering the life debt they owed him.

"You're on the verge of a breakthrough. This tranquil spot is perfect for it, so go ahead and break through here. I'll be heading back to my room to cultivate as well, aiming to reach the late eleventh star as soon as possible."

Han Feng and Lin Qingshan retreated to their rooms to focus on their cultivation.

Meanwhile, in the Sun family's main hall, the Family Head and Sun Binn engaged in a serious discussion.

The Family Head, stroking his beard, sighed, "I hadn't anticipated the Star Flame Beast guarding the Fiery Vermilion Fruit. Without it, we could have harvested a bounty of Fiery Vermilion Fruits, each batch worth almost as much as a single Flame Vermilion Fruit."

Sun Binn shook his head, "Even if the Star Flame Beast weren't there, we'd still have to contend with the bandits from Xuanwu Village. It's actually a stroke of luck that the beast is guarding the fruit, or else Xuanwu Village would have claimed it first."

The Family Head nodded in agreement. "You make a good point. You've only shared part of what happened with Lin Qingshan and Han Feng. Fill me in on the details."

"Certainly!"

Sun Binn then recounted the entire sequence of events.

The Family Head frowned. "So, their involvement was also motivated by the Fiery Vermilion Fruit."

"Exactly, and that's why I'm reassured. In these times, help doesn't come without a reason, unless one is exceedingly naive. Why would anyone meddle in affairs that don't concern them?"

"I'd be more worried if they hadn't said anything."

"Aligning with Lin Qingshan and leveraging the Fiery Vermilion Fruit ensures mutual loyalty."

The Family Head chuckled, clearly pleased with Sun Binn's astuteness.

"You've handled this well. Their interest in the Fiery Vermilion Fruit is clear. By bringing them into our fold early, we significantly boost our chances of securing the Flame Vermilion Fruit."

"However, do you understand why I so readily agreed to give them a quarter of the Fiery Vermilion Fruit?"

"I'm just as perplexed. With only about thirty Fiery Vermilion Fruits in total, getting ten with their help would be quite fortunate. But giving them a quarter, which amounts to two or three fruits, leaves us with only seven or eight."

"That number barely gives us an edge over the Zhou and Wu families," Sun Binn said, his face etched with confusion.

The Sun Family Head spoke with gravity, "The Flame Vermilion Fruit merely enhances the power of mortal fire, significantly boosting attack power at the same level. But no matter its potency, it can't enable someone at the Human Rank to overcome the Mystic Rank."

"Besides me, you're the only one in the Sun family who might break through to the Mystic Rank."

"Lin Qingshan and Han Feng are both highly likely to reach the Mystic Rank. Befriending them means the Sun family could potentially have two Mystic Rank allies. You grasp the significance of that, don't you?"

Moved, Sun Binn bowed deeply, "I will certainly make a point of staying in close contact with them."

The Sun Family Head nodded in approval. "Exactly. Our alliance must extend beyond mere mutual interests; we should strive to forge genuine friendships."

"This time, whether or not we secure the Flame Vermilion Fruit, we must cultivate a good relationship with these two individuals."

"Given their capabilities, they could successfully obtain the Fiery Vermilion Fruit on their own, even without an alliance with our family."

"You may go now. I'll send word to the Zhou and Wu families to come together and discuss forming an alliance."

"Understood!"

In the serene and refined room.

Han Feng vanished into the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower in an instant, leaving a deceptive afterimage. Unless someone came close, the illusion would go undetected.

Even Yu Lao was once fooled by him back at the Han family.

Within the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower.

Han Feng had finished assimilating the origin fluid from a Human Origin Fruit. His True Qi surged, and his meridians were stretched to their utmost capacity.

Despite his efforts, Han Feng found that breaking through the barrier to reach the Three-star Realm was still just out of reach. Without further hesitation, he consumed another dose of origin fluid derived from a Human Origin Fruit.

His True Qi roared within him like a tumultuous river, unceasing in its churn. Suddenly, a thunderous noise erupted from within Han Feng. In an instant, his body shook violently as his True Qi burst forth uncontrollably.

Now, the True Qi projected even farther than before, its potency markedly greater. Han Feng had successfully ascended to the Three-star Human Rank.

But he didn't pause there; his cultivation continued unabated. With an abundance of Spirit Stones and origin fluid at his disposal, the fourth level of his planting space had yielded a plentiful harvest of Human Origin Fruits.

Having ingested two Human Origin Fruits, Han Feng's early Three-star realm had solidified completely. And just as the last of the ripe fruits were consumed, he was compelled to move to the third level of the House of Time to hone his Martial Skills.

Oblivious to the outside world, Han Feng was unaware of Sun Binn's growing impatience. Following his father's advice, Sun Binn sought to forge a closer bond with Lin Qingshan and Han Feng, who remained in seclusion.

Intent on fostering strong ties, Sun Binn refrained from interrupting their intensive training, leaving him no choice but to wait. Yet, as the three major clans of Renwu City prepared to depart the following day, Sun Binn was still waiting for them to emerge.

Inside the third level of the House of Time, Han Feng was encircled by five Profound Flame Chains. Having advanced to the Three-star Human Rank, a fourth chain had manifested spontaneously, which Han Feng quickly mastered, followed by a fifth.

"With five Profound Flame Chains, I've nearly perfected the third tier of the skill," he mused. "I wonder if this time I'll be able to acquire the advanced Martial Skills and cultivation spells from the bandits of Xuanwu Village."

Stowing the Profound Flame Chains, Han Feng spoke softly to himself, while beneath his feet, three dazzling orbs of sunlight blazed brilliantly.

Six fireballs materialized in his grasp.

Han Feng had achieved the Small Completion Stage in both the formidable Martial Skills of Wild Flame Hit and Sun Nine Steps.

Calculating the time, Han Feng estimated that the major families of Renwu City would have completed their alliance by now. It was time for him to emerge from his seclusion.
