He extended a hand and lightly pressed it onto Lin Su’s arm, which was currently kneading. A slight expulsion of elemental power from within turned into a warm current that traveled around the tendons and bones of Lin Su’s hand.
“Dad, is this elemental power?” Lin Su’s face lit up with surprise, as he clearly felt the soreness in his arm dissipate at a rapid rate with the movement of the warm current.
It was as if he was being healed by the skill of a healing-type beast.
“Exactly,” Lin Zhen Nan nodded, “Elemental power is the energy martial arts experts draw from the world, nurtured within themselves. It’s ever-changing, not only nurturing the body but also transforming into various forces such as wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, all with boundless power.”
“I see,” Lin Su couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Even extraordinary beasts could only master one type of supernatural force, yet the elemental power cultivated by martial artists could transform into different forces depending on their chosen Cultivation Technique. In this respect, martial artists had many more advantages than extraordinary beasts.
However, he did not envy them too much since the Blue Planet had Guardian Beast Co-operation, and in some ways, fighting with a beast was like fighting on one’s own, with a similar essence to martial arts.
Seeing Lin Su’s expression, Lin Zhen Nan coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, “All right, we can start practicing the basic skills of spearmanship now. Today we’ll focus on one move, and that’s the slash!”
He had inadvertently started to show off the advantages of martial arts again. Why say so much? Su’er was already unable to cultivate martial arts, and the path chosen must be steadfastly followed. If he said too much and Su’er regretted his choice, starting to feel anxious about choosing to be a Beast Tamer, that would be problematic.
With this thought, Lin Zhen Nan steadied his mind and swiftly demonstrated with his spear, “Watch closely, I’ll demonstrate in slow motion…”
“Hmm!” Hearing Lin Zhen Nan say this, Lin Su immediately focused his attention and began to observe carefully.
…
Lin Zhen Nan stood beside Lin Su, watching him repeat the slashing motion over and over. From the initial uncertainty to now, each strike brought with it a sharp swooshing sound. Although still lacking the finesse of his own demonstration from the previous day, it was already quite formidable, earning him a nod of approval.
An entire morning of practice, and Su’er had already got the hang of the slashing movement.
Starting tomorrow, after gradually mastering a few other basic movements, he could begin to delve into spear techniques.
“That’s enough for today,” he said softly, smiling.
As he finished speaking, Lin Su completed the last slash, steadied the spear, and stood firm.
It was now noon, and his body was drenched in sweat from the relentless sun and continuous spear practice. Earlier, as he kept thrusting his spear, the sweat beads on his forehead could still be shaken off with each exertion of his body. But once he stopped, they quickly trickled down Lin Su’s cheeks, bringing an uncomfortable sensation that made him long for a cool shower. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“Jee!” (Wipe that sweat!)
Shadow Concealment, which he had been practising by skulking around in the shadows of the Lin Family’s young disciples on the training ground, had somehow returned to Lin Su’s shadow. Now, a paw stretched out and, as if performing a magic trick, pulled a towel from a magic pocket and handed it over.
“When did you get the towel?” Lin Su’s expression turned curious, as it was his first time following weapon practice, and he had not been thorough in his preparation, therefore he hadn’t asked Shadow Concealment to bring a towel in advance.
Taking the towel, he found that it was even soaked in cold water, which felt ice-cold and extremely refreshing to the touch.
“Jee!” (Over there!)
Shadow Concealment half emerged, pointing to a spot on the training ground where several servants of the Lin Family dipped towels into a large tub of cool spring water, wrung them out, and distributed them to the young family members who had been training hard all morning, for them to wipe the sweat off their bodies and faces.
So Shadow Concealment had taken a towel from there?
Lin Su realized the origin of the towel, chuckled lightly, and wiped the sweat off his forehead, cheeks, and neck. The oppressive heat of his body gradually abated throughout this process.
“Whew!” Breathing out a breath of turbid air, Lin Su returned the towel to Shadow Concealment, “Thanks, could you return it for me?”
“Jee!” (No problem!)
Shadow Concealment responded, flicked the towel into the magic pocket, and swiftly dove back into the shadow. When it reappeared, it was already in front of those servants, carefully handing the towel to a servant in charge of washing the dirty towels.
Watching the servant startle at Shadow Concealment’s sudden appearance, taking a good while to nervously accept the towel, Lin Su chuckled and shook his head. At that moment, another voice suddenly emerged.
“Meow! (｡òωó｡)” (I’m here too!)
He only felt his head grow slightly heavy, and the next moment, a chill mixed with snowflakes enveloped him. Enjoy more content from
Snow Blow, this skill to transform the ice and snow environment, had reached tier III with Frost Silence Storm, now at the same level, capable of creating snow out of thin air over a wide area. At this moment, under Qiuqiu’s precise control, it was like an air conditioner, cooling the area around.
The heat from Lin Su’s body vanished instantly, and he felt as if he was floating in bliss.
He touched the obedient Qiuqiu perched on his head with a hint of amusement, “Thank you as well, I’m much cooler now.”
“Meow~” (Hehe~)
Lin Zhen Nan, who had been watching quietly from the side, suddenly felt a wave of emotion in his heart.
He had always thought that Beast Tamers were too frail on their own, relying too much on the power of their beasts, and therefore looked down on them for it.
