Mitel Liu Yun's Transmigration

Splash~ Splash~

Amid green mountains and clear waters, a waterfall hung upside down between the peaks, the sound of its waters striking the rocks beautiful and stirring.

Downstream from the waterfall, a bare-chested youth stood straight atop a boulder, allowing the current to batter his body without moving in the slightest.

The youth looked eleven or twelve years old and stood around 1.65 meters tall. His face was exceptionally handsome and adorable; anyone who saw him could not help but glance at him twice.

Liu Yun, an outstanding young man from the twenty-first century, had unexpectedly been reborn into this world.

His full name in this world was Mitel Liu Yun. Eleven years ago, when he was born crying into this world, he had scared himself half to death.

After repeatedly confirming it, Liu Yun discovered that he had actually arrived on the Dou Qi Continent. He had been reborn into the Mite'er Family as the biological grandson of clan leader Mitel Tengshan, and was now the Mite'er Family's sole Young Master.

Logically speaking, a transmigrator who had been reborn should come equipped with a golden finger. Yet Liu Yun had waited a full eleven years without getting so much as a hair, leaving him deeply troubled. All he could do was cultivate seriously.

"Judging by the timeline, Xiao Yan next door should be at the height of his glory right now. His title as a genius should have already resounded throughout Wutan City," Liu Yun muttered.

Next, Xiao Yan would enter a low period. Liu Yun felt it was necessary to get acquainted with him and build a good relationship along the way.

This was not sycophantic behavior. He was not like those brainless fools who transmigrated into novels and loudly proclaimed that they would walk the protagonist's path, leaving the protagonist nowhere to go.

Did they really think a Son of Destiny's opportunities were so easy to snatch? Did they really think Xiao Yan could only follow the path laid out in the setting? Liu Yun knew very well that ever since he had transmigrated here, this had become a real world.

Besides, Xiao Yan's character was not bad. Why insist on opposing him? Rather than failing to defeat him in the end and losing his life, it was better to let the plot develop normally.

Wasn't it good to be a prophet and avoid a few pitfalls?

Just as Liu Yun was thinking about this, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

"Detected that the host has met the conditions for system awakening. The system is currently awakening...

Liu Yun: "..."

So he really did have a golden finger!

However, after seeing his aptitude and comprehension, his first reaction was disbelief, and his second was, Holy shit.

Originally, he had been rather smug. After all, within the Mite'er Family, he possessed the best aptitude. Reaching Ninth Stage Dou Qi at eleven years old was astonishing, and everyone praised him for it.

Now, it seemed he was nothing at all.

"Ding! The system has been activated for the first time. A beginner's gift package has been granted. Would you like to open it?"

"Open it!" Liu Yun said without hesitation.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the cultivation technique: Heaven Burning Immortal Art."

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the cultivation technique: Thousand Hammer Hundred Refinement Technique."

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained a One-star Dou Huang Trial Card ×1. (Reminder: The Dou Huang Trial Card requires a powerful physique to bear its power. Please use it with caution.)"

Two cultivation techniques and a Dou Emperor Trial Card—the rewards were quite generous.

Liu Yun gave them a cursory look and found that the Heaven Burning Immortal Art was actually similar to Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra. The difference was that the Heaven Burning Immortal Art began as a Mysterious Tier High-grade technique, and after devouring enough strange flames, it could break through the limits of the Heaven Tier.

This point alone was enough to show that it was an incredibly heaven-defying cultivation technique.

The Thousand Hammer Hundred Refinement Technique did not belong to the Dou Qi Continent's cultivation system. It was divided into upper and lower volumes: the upper volume, Thousand Hammer Body Tempering; the lower volume, Hundred Refinement Dou Qi.

Liu Yun was currently at Ninth Stage Dou Qi. To cultivate the Heaven Burning Immortal Art, he first had to break through to Dou Zhe. The Thousand Hammer Hundred Refinement Technique, meanwhile, focused on strengthening one's foundation, making it perfectly suited to him now.

"I've just broken through to Ninth Stage Dou Qi. This is the perfect time to try the lower volume's Hundred Refinement Dou Qi," Liu Yun thought.

He acted as soon as the thought occurred to him. Sitting cross-legged on the boulder, he circulated his Dou Qi through his meridians until it flowed into every corner of his body. Before long, a furnace was born within him.

Liu Yun did not understand the principles behind the Thousand Hammer Hundred Refinement Technique, but at that moment, he deeply experienced its terror.

The instant the furnace formed, he felt the Dou Qi throughout his body boil. All of it seemed to tremble, wisps of white smoke rising from it as the Dou Qi within him steadily shrank.

In just a few breaths, the Dou Qi within him had been reduced by half, and his realm fell to Eighth Stage Dou Qi.

What was even more fatal was that the Hundred Refinements Technique began to operate on its own beyond his control, clearly determined not to stop until it had squeezed him dry.

At first, Liu Yun felt somewhat despondent. Although he knew this would not harm him and would instead bring immense benefits, watching the Dou Qi he had painstakingly cultivated for ten years shrink away still felt awful.

But on second thought, Eighth Stage Dou Qi was not entirely unacceptable. At the very least, his foundation had been strengthened, and his combat power had improved further.

However, he was still too young. His Dou Qi did not stop declining.

As the Hundred Refinements Technique continued operating, Liu Yun's realm began to plummet off a cliff.

Seven-stage Dou Qi, Sixth Stage Dou Qi, Fifth Stage Dou Qi...

Only when it reached First Stage Dou Qi did the Hundred Refinements Technique finally stop, almost reluctantly.

Liu Yun's face darkened completely. At that moment, he felt as though he had been utterly screwed over.

He had begun cultivating Qi at the age of three—eight years of hard work! To grow stronger, who knew what he had endured? He woke earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs. Who could have imagined this day would come?

He had cultivated those Ninth Stage Dou Qi for a full eight years. Now, after one go, he was back where he had started. He had to cultivate all over again, and who knew how long it would take.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I finally understand the pain of losing your Dou Qi!" Liu Yun sighed.

Just as Liu Yun was about to curse the unfair heavens and the damn system, he suddenly lost his footing and fell into the water with a splash.

A mouthful of river water went down his stomach, and water accidentally entered his nose as well. Liu Yun's face instantly flushed red, leaving him in a miserable state.

But that was not the worst part.

The current was swift. The moment his body fell in, the rapids swept him downstream. Rocks large and small lined the way, battering him until he gritted his teeth.

He had wanted to suck in a sharp breath, but all he inhaled was river water, giving him a thoroughly sour experience.

After struggling for quite a while, Liu Yun finally steadied himself, surfaced, and climbed onto a large boulder. He was in an absolutely foul mood.

A moment's thought made it obvious. He had originally been at Ninth Stage Dou Qi and cultivated near the waterfall, but his cultivation had suddenly dropped to First Stage Dou Qi. Being knocked over by the current was perfectly normal.

Yet amid his frustration, Liu Yun felt a burst of comfort. After all that battering, the Thousand Hammer Body Tempering Technique had begun operating naturally.

"Looks like the cultivation method for Thousand Hammer Body Tempering is getting beaten up!"

Liu Yun's teeth ached. What kind of goddamn cultivation technique was this? No wonder the Dou Qi Continent did not have anything like it.

Getting beaten up was still acceptable, but the first refinement of Hundred Refinement Dou Qi had squeezed Ninth Stage Dou Qi all the way down to First Stage Dou Qi. There were still ninety-nine refinements to come. Just hearing that was enough to make his head hurt. Who would cultivate such a technique?

Was he supposed to cultivate Qi—Dou Qi—for five hundred years?
