Star Transformation

A Letter

It was late at night and the cold wind whistled melodiously. In his room, Qin Yu felt so excited that his entire body felt so hot.

"Grandfather Lian, please tell me how to practice martial arts. I want to practice. I will definitely become an Immortal. Even if I cannot become an Immortal, at least I will become an Innate level warrior!" Qin Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Qin Yu began to imagine the scenario where he became an Immortal in the future. He could even imagine his father looking at him proudly. What he wanted was nothing but love from his father. Compliments, smiles and even criticism or punishment from his father. Everything could make Qin Yu feel the existence of his father's love. He just wants that.

Now she has found a way to regain her father's lost love. And that was by trying hard to train and become a valiant martial expert like her brother Qin Feng, or even.

Qin Yu looked at Lian Yan expectantly.

"Xiao Yu.." Lian Yan did not know what to do, but he also could not give another reason. So he had no choice but to tell the truth. "If you want to be a Grail warrior, you have to practice inner strength. Deep energy can break through the barrier between the Birth rate and Innate level. But your unique dantian is basically unable to gather inner strength, how can you practice deep power techniques to break through that barrier? and how can you be an Innate warrior?"

"My dantian does have problems, but people like Uncle Wang say that there are many deep-power techniques in the world, maybe I will be able to learn one of them. Even if I am unable to train one of the inner power techniques, there are still external techniques. I can still be an Innate warrior with my physical strength," Qin Yu said in an unyielding tone.

He was completely unable to accept the fact that he was unable to become a martial expert. Because .... in the innocence of this 8-year-old, this is the only possible way to return his father's love to him.

"External technique..?.The technique was just a variety of methods used to train the body relentlessly, making his body stronger and moving faster. But this is a very heavy road. To this day, even people with great natural physical strength talent, and even though they had practiced making their bodies more resilient, no one was able to become an Innate expert through this path. A person who only used external techniques to train the body basically could not become a warrior Innate Xiao Yu." Not wanting to let Qin Yu waste effort, Lian Yan was forced to be straightforward with her.

"Not one yet?. Do I really have no hope anymore?" Qin Yu was surprised, his face instantly turned pale. His last hope had been dashed, Qin Yu's heart was frozen.

Looking at Qin Yu's pale face, Lian Yan felt a pain in his heart "Ah, he is still a child". Lian Yan immediately said "Xiao Yu, in fact, external techniques are also very powerful. This technique covers all about the muscular strength of the body that can last a long time and unlike internal techniques, the inner power collected can be exhausted so quickly. Other than that ..." To appease Qin Yu, Lian Yan continuously thought of the advantages of external techniques.

After hearing Lian Yan's words, Qin Yu's eyes twinkled slightly.

"In addition, external techniques are difficult to train, but the body is the basis of a person. Within the Ferocious Tiger Forces, there was a man with extraordinary natural talent who relied solely on his physical strength. He can lift a 500 kg stone block with one hand."

"500 kg? With one hand?" Hope exploded back inside Qin Yu's heart . He could imagine that if he had such strength, wouldn't swinging a large axe and cutting people be as easy as cutting bread?

"That's right, 500 kg. With 1 hand he could lift a 500 kg stone block. His weapon is called One-legged Copperman. On the battlefield, even an Innate warrior was not as valiant as him. Every time he swung the machete, a large number of enemies were killed," Lian Yan endlessly spoke of the advantages of external techniques.

Finally, he concluded "None of them who practices external techniques becomes an Innate expert, but if you can reach the peak of the Birth level and your body is trained to its limit, it will be, your strength will be very high. You won't be weaker than Innate level fighters."

Upon seeing Qin Yu's facial expression get better, Lian Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. There was no doubt that there had grown maturity in Qin Yu because he knew Qin Yu's character.

"Can someone who has practiced external techniques up to the peak of the Nativity level compete with the Innate warriors?" Ask Qin Yu again.

Lian Yan instantly nodded repeatedly. At this moment, how could he refuse? If he shook his head, Qin Yu would definitely be even sadder.

"Grandfather Lian, you said no one reached the Innate level by practicing external techniques right?" Ask Qin Yu.

Lian Yan nodded nervously, but Qin Yu became excited. He clenched his fists and said "Good. Since no one has ever reached Innate level, I will definitely be the first one!"

Lian Yan was immediately stunned.

"If no one can achieve it doesn't mean it's unattainable. I believe in myself!," Qin Yu's eyes shone brilliantly.

Lian Yan forced his smile.

External technique?

Training it was really more difficult than internal techniques. External techniques are about training the body. If one wanted to reach the peak potential of his body, he would have to use various training methods that would undoubtedly cause the body to undergo countless changes. That kind of pain is not something a child can bear.

How could Lian Yan be willing to let Qin Yu endure such pain?

"Xiao Yu, practicing external techniques is extremely difficult and painful, even more painful than receiving 100 lashes a day. You are the son of the Prince Conqueror of the East, you are protected and there is no need for you to go through such pain" Lian Yan gave a suggestion. He really could not bear to see this boy suffer.

Qin Yu slowly shook his head.

"No!." Qin Yu only said one word, he did not show any desire to argue.

Lian Yan did not know what to do. He thought 'Why are these people from the Qin clan like that?. No matter how they looked, the most fundamental in their character was a strong determination. None of them would back down once they set a goal. Her father was like that. Now Qin Yu is like that too.'

Qin Yu suddenly smiled. He knew Lian's grandfather cared about him.

Lian Yan stroked Qin Yu's head. His face had a sincere smile, he knew that Qin Yu definitely did not want to worry him.

"Alright, Xiao Yu, for now you should sleep first huh. Just leave this matter to grandfather." said Lian Yan.

But Qin Yu suddenly raised his head and said: "Grandfather Lian, please find me a fighter who is an expert in external techniques huh. It would be best if I had an instructor who taught me."

"Don't worry. Grandpa knows." Said Lian Yan while laughing. Qin Yu immediately laughed and pressed down on both cheeks of Lian Yan, after which he jumped out the door while shouting. "Good Night Grandpa Lian. I'll sleep too." When his voice stopped, he was already out of the room.

Lian Yan immediately took out his brush and paper and wrote a letter ...

　

******

In Yan City, Qin De was standing in the study room of his home.

He lifted his head and looked out through the window. The day is getting brighter now. A scholar dressed in black, Xu Yuan had come. His hand held a letter. He walked to Qin De's side and smiled as he said "Your Majesty, this is the letter that Uncle Lian sent using the pigeon. It's about Xiao Yu, you should see it."

Qin De received the letter and read it all at once. As he was reading, there was a complicated expression on his face. After a long time, he still had not put back the letter.

"Your Majesty ..." Xu Yuan quietly called out to him.

Qin De immediately regained his senses, a stream of fire-shaped deep energy emanating from his hand which then burned the letter to ashes. After which, still with a grim expression, he said coldly "Xu Yuan, grab all the secret books on internal techniques and external techniques that are in the mansion, he said, make a copy of each one of them and send a copy of it to Misty Villa."

Xu Yuan was shocked. He knew Qin Yu could not practice internal techniques. He also knew how valuable these internal technique secret books were. Even when compared to the secret books in the Imperial Palace of the Chu Dynasty, the secret books of the internal techniques of the Prince Conqueror from the East would still be much more valuable.

Was it not in vain to give so many secret books to Qin Yu, who was unable to practice internal techniques?.

"Your Majesty, you mean everything? Even including the Ancestral Dragon Art technique ? But Xiao Yu, he couldn't practice internal techniques." asked Xu Yuan again.

"Didn't you hear what I just said?." Qin De said coldly.

Xu Yuan nodded and said nothing more. He was able to see that Qin De had a burden on his mind, and was also able to guess Qin De's current mood.

"And also ...," sighed Qin De "Yu'er wants some external engineering experts. Take the three greatest external fighters from the fierce tiger army with you. In addition, also find external engineering experts in the 3 Eastern regions and bring them there."

"Yes!" Xu Yuan shouted firmly in response to the order.

Qin De paused for a moment then suddenly said "Xu Yuan, send an order to the Great Field and tell General Zhao Yunxing to go to the Misty Villa. If Yu'er chose him to be her teacher, she would stay at Misty Villa for a year."

"General Zhao Yunxing?" Xu Yuan was shocked.

Qin De nodded then walked outside the study room. Xu Yuan suddenly caught up with him "Your Majesty, when he returned to Yan City this time, why don't you go to the Misty Villa to see Xiao Yu? The last time you saw him was over a year ago, right? We can set aside a day there."

Qin De was slightly stunned then he said calmly "That's not necessary." After that, he walked out of the study room.

Xu Yuan looked at Qin De out of the room then shook his head "Could it be that everyone of the Qin clan is like this? They're all very stubborn. Because of the vows at that time, even the love between father and son was ignored."

Xu Yuan sighed and also walked out of the study room, leaving only the ashes of the burning letter on the floor.

A glimpse of cultivation information:

2. Birth\, Innate\, and Eternal are the names for people who have transcended the boundaries of ordinary humans.

3. Birth fighters are people who have trained their bodies to exceed limits and have strength and defense above humans in general.
