Chapter 32
“If I can properly make use of this experience, it’s not entirely hopeless.”
Compared to the noble-born disciples raised in luxury, they had grown up like wild grass—resilient and unyielding.
Moreover, since it was a team battle, if they executed their strategy correctly, their chances of victory would increase even further. After spending the last four years together like brothers, coordinating with one another would be effortless.
The problem was that even if they managed to steal the ball, the Taiji Sphere Techniques were not advanced enough to control two balls at once.
“I have to find a way to solve this issue first. How...? Wait, if we can just control the ball, there’s no need to insist on using Taiji Sphere Techniques!”
At that moment, Kwak Yeon recalled the Kunlun Sphere Techniques.
“If we can keep the ball continuously floating in the air, that’s the same as rolling it! As long as we control it, it’s no different.”
That evening, as soon as their training session began, Kwak Yeon gathered his fellow disciples and shared his idea.
After listening carefully, Jeong I-chu tilted his head and asked,
“Will they really allow it?”
Seok Jangsan answered in Kwak Yeon’s place.
“As long as we don’t use our hands, the rules of the Contest for the Pearls don’t prohibit it. Even with Taiji Sphere Techniques, the ball doesn’t always stay close to the body—it rolls at a distance. This just increases that distance a bit more.”
