Originally, Yuan Chengmie had only given Han Liren a bit of guidance, and upon discovering that the latter's martial arts talent was far from his expectations, he drifted off and no longer cared for this nominal disciple, leaving Han Liren waiting in misery for over a hundred years.
However, being noticed by Yuan Chengmie meant that Han Liren did have some talent, only it seemed lacking by Yuan Chengmie's standards.
In theory, it wasn't impossible for Han Liren to rise to the rank of the Ninth King, or even further, to reach the Supplementing Divine Temple.
Yet now Han Liren was only one of the Five Great, partly because of the limitations of the Eastern Fire Continent, and partly because the cultivation technique he practiced was too outdated.
If Shi Hao had to say, Han Liren managing to reach the rank of the Five Great with such a ragged cultivation technique was already a testament to his extraordinary talent.
