Xingchen Bian

Qin Yu is the son of a powerful prince, yet a defect in his meridians prevents him from practicing the internal cultivation arts that define true strength in his world. Refusing to remain the weak child others must protect, he commits himself to the punishing path of external training under Zhao Yunxing, determined to earn his father's recognition through effort no one can dismiss.

During his training, a mysterious red crystal fuses with his body and begins changing what he is capable of. With the black eagle Xiao Hei as his closest companion, Qin Yu steps beyond the sheltered life he knew and into deadly conflicts between cultivators. What began as a son's desire to prove himself becomes the first stage of a journey whose scale reaches far beyond mortal power.
