Beast Taming Patrol

“Hand, steady!”

Lin Zhen Nan casually lifted his arm, the spear shaft in his hand knocking not too lightly nor heavily against Lin Su’s wrist, and then he resumed the same posture as Lin Su, squatting in a horse stance, one hand behind his back, the other raising the end of the spear shaft so the entire spear remained horizontal.

“Weapons are extensions of the body,” Lin Zhen Nan said solemnly. “Therefore, to master spear techniques, the first step is to stabilize, to make the spear in your hand a part of your body.”

“Only when stillness and motion follow the heart can the spear strike and defeat the enemy!”

Lin Zhen Nan’s voice was firm and powerful, his breath deep in his dantian. Even as he spoke, the spear in his hand did not tremble at all, its tip as if nailed into the void.

By contrast, standing beside Lin Zhen Nan, Lin Su, although trying his best to control the spear in his hand, for some reason, the spear tip trembled even more violently due to his excessive force.

“You’re putting too much conscious effort,” Lin Zhen Nan spotted Lin Su’s problem at a glance. “Imagine the spear as a part of your body, tame it, instead of forcing it to submit!”

His voice paused slightly, then he glanced at Qiuqiu practicing the Frost Silence Storm not far away in a specially designated open space, dancing lightly in the air from time to time, attracting quite a few onlooking Lin Family disciples who were resting during their training. “Or rather, think of the spear as your beast, and treat it the way a Beast Tamer would treat their beloved creature!”

Think of the spear as a pet beast?

Lin Su, who initially had no clue how to control the spear in his hands, felt as if a light had come on, seeming to have found some feeling.

Body Refining Realm, as the first stage of martial arts cultivation, although only comparable to a juvenile-stage beast, is capable of resisting supernatural forces with human strength and should not be underestimated.

The biggest problem for Lin Su at the moment was actually the inability to control the power within his body, like a three-year-old child wielding a hammer, able only to use a tiny part of his strength relying on muscle memory, while most of his power was inaccessible due to forgotten experiences.

The control over power previously mentioned by his father was a common term for martial artists, but to Lin Su, it seemed abstract and difficult to grasp.

But now Lin Zhen Nan had used a different comparison, one Lin Su was more familiar with, that of a Beast Tamer, and suddenly Lin Su felt an epiphany.

He stared intently at the spear in his hands, lost in thought.

How does a Beast Tamer treat their creature?

Communication, understanding, encouragement.

Now, he had to apply the same approach to the speechless weapon in his hands, but how?

What would a spear think about?

Lin Su silently mumbled to himself, subconsciously channeling a stream of power from the Beast Taming Space into his spear, carefully feeling every aspect of the spear in his hands.

This spear wasn’t one of those standard-forged iron spears casually placed on the weapon racks at the edge of the training field for disciples’ daily practice, its dark silver blade exuding an intimidating chill, the shaft made of dark metal as the main body, intertwined with faint blue patterns on the surface to increase grip friction while also significantly enhancing the aesthetic of the spear.
