Chapter 33
Just then, Instructor Hyeonmun, who had been watching the situation unfold, shouted:
“Brother Hyeonho, that’s not a foul. The boy’s ball never touched the ground.”
Referee Hyeonho answered:
“Brother Hyeonmun, what that boy used wasn’t Taiji Sphere Techniques. It was clearly the Heaven-Earth Sphere Technique.”
“Brother Hyeonho, as long as he didn’t use his hands, it can still fall under Taiji Sphere Techniques. Has the ball ever stopped spinning?”
Hyeonho had no answer.
The ball had remained in constant rotation. No hands were used.
And even in normal Taiji Sphere play, the ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) ball would sometimes drift from the practitioner’s body.
At that moment, Elder Council Leader Myeonghyeon, who had been silently observing the back-and-forth between the two instructors, spoke up:
“There’s no rule that forbids using the Heaven-Earth Sphere Technique during the Contest for the Pearls—as long as the ball keeps spinning.”
With this clear verdict from the highest authority of the sect, Referee Hyeonho had no choice but to declare:
“Yang Jin, eliminated.”
