Background / History

Han Zhen has taught Chen Mochuan for over two years and personally witnessed his decline from third in the grade to the bottom of the key class as Chen's Blood-Qi growth stagnated. He nevertheless continued to value Chen's diligence, calm temperament, and habit of training after every other student had left. 1

To help Chen improve, Han Zhen gave him a worn notebook of Foundation Building Fist notes written by his son, Han Hao, a former Eighth High School student admitted to Yunhan University's Martial Arts Department. The notes directly contributed to Chen's rapid breakthrough in fist technique. 1 7

He noticed that Chen's sudden, sustained improvement could not be accounted for by Wisdom Heart alone and correctly deduced that Chen had awakened a Spirit Talent. After Chen confirmed it, Han Zhen arranged for him to receive the school's support. 24 25

Recognizing Chen's exceptional aptitude, Han Zhen and Lin Hong taught him the Spirit Pivot Primordial Stance ahead of schedule. Han Zhen provided the full technique while firmly warning Chen not to attempt its Aperture Condensation Chapter before his Blood-Qi reached 9. 67 68

During the later school term, Han Zhen taught Chen the Mountain-Collapsing Fist, approved his independent training in the Martial Arts Room, and helped supervise his growth through sparring and practical-combat preparation. 74 79 81 140

Personality

Han Zhen is attentive, patient, and principled. He recognizes hard work even when it does not immediately produce results, offering Chen encouragement and practical assistance rather than giving up on a low-ranked student. 1 7

He values fairness in teaching and deliberately avoids favoring Chen excessively despite his high expectations for him. He believes talented students need timely guidance rather than constant interference with their own cultivation rhythm. 7 41

Though usually composed, Han Zhen is deeply protective of his students. He remained anxious while watching Chen confront the Wasteland Wolf King, yet trusted the military's safeguards and Chen's judgment. 149 151 152
