This was the first time he had seen his son interacting with his pet beast. Now, it seemed that Beast Tamers had at least one advantage that martial artists did not.
That was, pet beasts could grow alongside their Beast Tamers.
Thinking back to how his wife was busy managing the household chores every day and how he had been so disappointed by his son’s disinterest in martial arts that they had long been in a cold war, ignoring each other, Lin Zhen Nan suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

Back then, Su’er probably could only confide in the exotic beasts in the yard, right?
“Gurgle~” A stomach rumble interrupted Lin Zhen Nan’s thoughts. He looked at Lin Su, who was somewhat embarrassedly covering his stomach, paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter, stepping forward to put an arm around Lin Su’s shoulder, “Hungry? Your father is hungry too. After practicing martial arts, one should eat more meat to replenish the spent energy. Let’s go! Your mother should have had the kitchen prepare delicious food.”
“Mhm!” Lin Su responded. On his head lay Qiuqiu, who was tired from training all morning, and from behind him, a shadowy figure with big googly eyes—Gui Gui—walked beside Lin Zhen Nan toward the exit of the martial arts arena.
For some reason, he felt that today’s father was different from before. His father had never laughed so heartily in front of him, nor had he embraced his shoulders like this.
But… he did not dislike this change.
…
Back in the main house, Chen Yu had already had the meals prepared. She meticulously arranged them on a dining table embedded with a Tier 2 Fire Spirit Stone from the fire element.
Using supernatural resources as a decoration for the table might seem wasteful, but since it was only a Tier 2 resource, it wasn’t much for the Lin Family. Such a dining table ensured that the dishes stayed piping hot and never cooled down.
“You’re back?” Seeing the father and son enter the house, Chen Yu approached them with a smile. When she saw the large hand Lin Zhen Nan had on Lin Su’s shoulder, her smile deepened, “Today I had the kitchen prepare extra dishes. Su’er, you’ve worked hard at your training, eat more.”
“Okay.” Lin Su nodded, his face filled with anticipation.
For him, this was the first time he had practiced martial arts, and it had consumed a lot of his energy. His body had transformed this energy expenditure into an unprecedented strong appetite.
Put simply, hungry, food.
Lin Zhen Nan muttered dissatisfiedly, “I also worked hard at my training,” which earned him a roll of the eyes from Chen Yu, making Lin Su chuckle involuntarily.
Eagerly sitting down, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva as he looked at the variety of meat dishes on the table.
Qiuqiu leaped down from Lin Su’s head and sat at its designated spot by the table, its lazy demeanor completely gone as it eyed the delicious food in front of it, looking desirous.
“Meow! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ” (Delicious!)
Gui Gui, from within a shadow, had also emerged and tiptoed to get a better view of the sumptuous dishes on the table before quickly climbing up to its designated chair. It then properly took out two small aprons from its magic pocket, dressing itself and Qiuqiu, who could not tie an apron with its paws.
“Caw! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (Let’s eat!)
The two pet beasts signaled the start of the meal, yet their eyes simultaneously turned toward Lin Su.
“This is for Qiuqiu, this is for Gui Gui.” Lin Su smiled, taking out two crystal bottles filled with energy liquid from his Space Ring and handing them to Qiuqiu and Gui Gui.
While human food only satisfied their taste, energy liquid was the preferred choice to replenish the energy they expended during training. Over time, the two little fellows had developed a new way of consuming the energy liquid.
Treat the energy liquid like a drink, savoring it with their meal.
This method was initially exclusive to Qiuqiu, but after Gui Gui saw it, it learned to do the same. The two pets, while drinking, even started to clink their bottles together like humans, always bringing joy to Chen Yu.
Initially, Chen Yu had to help purchase the energy liquid, but over time Lin Su was able to formulate higher and even perfect grade basic energy liquids, eliminating the need for Chen Yu to spend money on it externally.
Pleased, Qiuqiu embraced the bottles with its paws, forcefully pulled the cork out with its teeth, and then exchanged a knowing look with Gui Gui.
Little buddy, shall we?
Gui Gui opened its bottle of energy liquid with a “pop” and clinked it against Qiuqiu’s bottle.
“Ding~”
Cheers!

In this joyful atmosphere, the meal quickly ended.
It turned out that Lin Su was indeed hungry, for he ate three times as much as usual that day. Only the Body Refinement Realm’s martial prowess gave him a stronger digestion capability than normal people, otherwise he would have been terribly overstuffed.
After the meal, Lin Su was about to head directly to the Beast Tower with his two pets for their daily challenge and a casual stroll to aid digestion, but Lin Zhen Nan quickly caught up to him, calling after him.
“Su’er, here’s a manual on spear techniques, you can look it over in your spare time.” Lin Zhen Nan took a thin booklet from his Space Ring and handed it to him, “Once you’ve mastered the basics, we’ll start practicing with this spear technique.”
Hearing Lin Zhen Nan say this, Lin Su immediately perked up. He flipped through the spear technique and looked slightly puzzled, “Dad, what’s the name of this spear technique, why doesn’t it say?”
“Oh, this.” Lin Zhen Nan cleared his throat, “Um… this is a spear technique your grandfather found years ago, the name has been lost due to its age. We might as well call it the ‘Nameless Spear Technique’.”
“Understood.” Lin Su took a deep breath, his expression solemn, nodding seriously.
It was said that, prior to the catastrophe on Blue Star, many novels featured techniques named “Nameless”, which were often extremely powerful. Could his “Nameless Spear Technique” be just as formidable?
“Alright, I’m off.” After handing the spear technique to Lin Su, Lin Zhen Nan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Watching Lin Zhen Nan’s retreating figure, Lin Su couldn’t help but look down at the spear technique in his hands.
“Sniff sniff~” Qiuqiu sniffed, looking puzzled.
“Meow?” (Why does it smell like ink?)
“It’s so new, obviously a copied version, not the original technique.” Rubbing the fresh pages, Lin Su said confidently, “This ‘Nameless Spear Technique’ is definitely not ordinary!”
