Han Feng

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Han Feng’s entire family died while he was still an infant. Yao Chen, who happened to be passing through the Black-Corner Region, adopted him and personally taught him alchemy. Despite lacking bloodline advantages, Han Feng’s intelligence and talent placed him among the outstanding geniuses of his generation 31.

Yao Chen treated him like a son, providing whatever resources he requested and preparing a cultivation path intended to carry him toward Dou Sheng. Mu Gu nevertheless persuaded Han Feng to betray and murder his benefactor for the Flame Mantra. Han Feng obtained only half of the manual and chose to cultivate it despite already possessing an Earth Tier method 31 157 159.

After Yao Chen’s apparent death, Han Feng fled the Central Plains to avoid Venerable Feng’s investigation. He established himself in Maple City, where his alchemy and Peak Dou Emperor cultivation earned him the title Medicine Emperor and considerable regional influence. He believed Yao Chen had been completely destroyed, unaware that his teacher’s soul had escaped 59 81 113 155.

Appearance

• Handsome features: His face is described as reasonably handsome, although his sinister bearing makes ordinary Dou Wangs and Dou Lings afraid to meet his eyes 71 165.
• Long hair: Initially silky; later tangled and unkempt as his mental condition deteriorates 143.
• Signs of deterioration: Sunken eye sockets, unfocused pupils, and, during angry outbursts, bloodshot eyes and bulging veins 143 155.
• Blue Dou Qi Wings: Uses conspicuous blue wings in flight and during the attack on Jia Nan Academy 158 159.

Personality

Han Feng is ambitious, suspicious, jealous, and intensely possessive of valuable resources. After discovering Soul Solution’s benefits, he decides that such a treasure should belong to him alone. He kills Hua Lang for purchasing and consuming it without his permission, although Hua Lang had bought it legitimately at auction 71 74 155.

He habitually blames others for the consequences of his choices. In his nightmare of Venerable Feng, he insists that Yao Chen caused his own murder by refusing to give him the Flame Mantra. His later regret comes from suffering after the betrayal rather than a genuine moral awakening 80 165.

His arrogance coexists with profound fear. He dismisses Sun Buxiao as a backwater cultivator despite receiving warnings about his combat strength, yet hides from Venerable Feng and eventually becomes too frightened even to contact Mu Gu. Following his final defeat, his hostility toward Sun Buxiao gives way to helpless terror 75 81 103 152 165.

Abilities & Skills

Alchemy

• Sixth-tier alchemist: His pill-refining ability is a major source of influence in the Black-Corner Region 155.
• Recruitment through medicine: Can offer benefits to mobilize Dou Wangs, Dou Emperors, and potentially Dou Zongs against rival factions 74 79.
• Inner Demon interference: Persistent nightmares and intrusive self-confrontation make his alchemy unreliable. Very few pills emerge from Maple City over the two years preceding his summons to the Black List experts 103 152 157.
• Unfulfilled seventh-tier ambition: Claims that obtaining the Fallen Heart Flame would let him recover, reach Dou Zong, and become a seventh-tier alchemist; none of these advances occurs 155 188.

Incomplete Flame Mantra

• Cultivates only half of the manual, yet successfully survives assimilating a Heavenly Flame—a feat Yao Lao acknowledges as evidence of exceptional talent 159.
• After assimilating the Sea Heart Flame, his method reaches only Profound Tier Low Grade, far below his original Earth Tier Middle Grade method 99.
• His incomplete refinement leaves the flame unstable. When it rebels during his fight with Sun Buxiao, his usable strength falls below one-tenth of its normal level 77 84.

Sea Heart Flame

• Ranking: Fifteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking 71 159.
• Nature: Born on the ocean floor; possesses enduring stamina and heavy, continuous force resembling tides and tsunamis 77.
• Defensive application: Forms blue flame armor around his body 77.
• Offensive application: Uses Sea Heart Flame Beast Mimicry to create attacking beasts and burns Hua Lang to ashes 74 77 165.
• Control weakness: Resonance with Sun Buxiao’s Netherworld Poison Flame triggers rebellion, causing his flame beasts to attack indiscriminately 77 84.
• Poor development: Sun Buxiao criticizes his use of land-animal mimicry instead of exploiting the flame’s layered waves and overwhelming pressure 188.

Dou Qi Combat and Flight

• Unfurls Dou Qi Wings for sustained aerial travel and battle 75 158.
• Uses fire-attribute Dou Techniques, including a powerful attack against Hu Gan during the academy assault 159.
• His emotional instability disrupts Dou Qi circulation, compounding the Sea Heart Flame’s resistance 77 98.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sea Heart Flame — His principal combat asset and the only Heavenly Flame he successfully assimilates. Later extracted for Xiao Yan 71 175 188.
• Medicine Emperor Order — Personal token used to summon leading Black List experts to Maple City 152.
• Storage Ring — Contains resources Sun Buxiao intends to divide, retaining a portion and leaving the remainder to Yao Lao 169.
• Soul Solution — Acquired through the Fox King and by killing Hua Lang; strengthens his soul despite its emotional side effects 71 74.

Relationships

• Yao Chen / Yao Lao — Adoptive father and original alchemy teacher. Han Feng murders him for the Flame Mantra; Yao Lao later helps remove his Sea Heart Flame but remains visibly distressed by his former disciple’s fate 31 159 175.
• Mu Gu — Instigator of the betrayal and later master. Mu Gu never sincerely cares for Han Feng and shows little concern upon learning of his death 31 113 216.
• Xiao Yan — Junior disciple under Yao Lao and eventual executioner. Receives Han Feng’s former Sea Heart Flame and uses it to kill him 158 174 188.
• Sun Buxiao — Principal enemy. Ruins his reputation, implants his Inner Demon, captures him, and uses him for experiments 35 77 166 188.
• Venerable Feng / Gu Ling — Yao Chen’s close friend and Han Feng’s greatest fear. His investigation drives Han Feng into hiding; he later appears repeatedly in Han Feng’s nightmares 80 81 103.
• Yuan Yi — Opportunistic associate. Claims to have fought Sun Buxiao to rescue Han Feng, but later warns Sun Buxiao about Han Feng’s plans and refuses to join the academy assault 82 152 155.
• Fox King — Subordinate who supplies Soul Solution and reports a possible Heavenly Flame in Sakigawa’s possession 71.
• Gold and Silver Elders — Hired allies who demand twenty free batches of medicine between them and fight Su Qian during the academy invasion 155 159.
• Mo Ya — Recruited ally from the Black Emperor Sect, whose interest includes the possibility of obtaining Han Feng’s Sea Heart Flame 157.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Defamatory Rumors and the Hunt for Sakigawa

Sun Buxiao initially investigates Han Feng as both an obstacle to unifying the Black-Corner Region and the enemy of a friend. Unable to locate Maple City, he spreads a fabricated sexual scandal about Han Feng’s time at Starfall Pavilion. These allegations are deliberate inventions, not factual accounts of Han Feng’s past 31 35.

Han Feng orders an investigation into the posters. Later, the Fox King draws his attention to Soul Solution and Sakigawa’s unusual flame. Han Feng kills Hua Lang for his remaining solution, consults Yuan Yi, and sets out to seize Sakigawa’s Heavenly Flame, dismissing warnings about the Woeful Poison Body 36 71 74 75.

Defeat and the Heart Demon Seed

At Kui Wolf City, Sun Buxiao exploits the unruly Sea Heart Flame and Han Feng’s emotional vulnerabilities. He defeats Han Feng and forces specially prepared Millet Porridge containing a Heart Demon Seed and Fear Solution down his throat. Han Feng loses consciousness and is left alive 77 78.

The resulting Inner Demon traps him in nightmares of pursuit and death, then appears as a mocking version of himself. His cultivation stalls, pill production collapses, and his influence declines. By this period, he has fallen to third on the Black List 80 103 134 143 152.

Assault on Jia Nan Academy

Believing the Fallen Heart Flame can destroy the presence in his heart, Han Feng summons the Black List experts and offers free medicine for their assistance. Several refuse; the remaining allies demand additional rewards. He recruits further fighters, including Mo Ya, and attacks Jia Nan Academy with a force totaling eight Dou Emperors, including himself 152 155 157 159.

Sun Buxiao predicts that absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame in this condition would destroy Han Feng’s consciousness and soul along with the Inner Demon. Before Han Feng obtains it, Sun Buxiao arrives, defeats him, and captures him 157 160 162.

Captivity and Death

After his Inner Demon overwhelms him, Han Feng awakens terrified and encounters Yao Lao again. Sun Buxiao prevents Yao Lao from immediately killing him so his Inner Demon can be studied and his Heavenly Flame transferred safely 165 166.

Han Feng is restrained, poisoned, and kept alive despite approaching death. Yao Lao extracts the Sea Heart Flame, which Sun Buxiao catches in his bowl. Han Feng subsequently watches Xiao Yan assimilate the flame with far greater stability than he ever achieved 173 175 188.

Xiao Yan burns the weakened Han Feng to dust with the Sea Heart Flame. Sun Buxiao collects Death Solution and the Inner Demon’s remains; he later feeds Han Feng’s Inner Demon Legacy to the Fallen Heart Flame, observing a slight increase in its liveliness 188 211.
