Chapter 234: Genius

“Right Now you try” Lan Jue placed the two glass balls in Zhou Qianlin’s palm

She extended her palm as she’d seen Lan Jue do, with the balls in the center She paused for a an to appreciably undulate her fingers

Qianlin’s fingers were longer than Lan jue’s, and thinner However, she left no space between them as the pearl rolled, so that the ball bounced precariously fro, but little by little a fluidity crept in to the ball’s movements It was absent the smoothness Lan Jue had displayed, but her control was impressive Qianlin herself stared fixedly upon the on her work

Lan Jue nodded approvingly “Your kinesthetic control is good Let’s make it a little more difficult Now have the left-hand pearl roll counter-clockwise, and the right side clockwise”

“Mh” She paused, considering his instructions, then began to roll the balls in circles along her palers

She adapted quickly, perfor the new exercise was mastered

Lan Jue watched in silence, surprised at her speed It appeared she had a real talent for this Of course, a woman’s poise and suppleness were innately superior to your average man’s

“How a?” Qianlin continued to roll the balls around as she shot her instructor an inquisitive glance There was the faint glint of pride in her eyes

He pursed his lips and nodded sagely “Not bad That’s enough”

“Got it!” Qianlin co the balls to settle in the hearts of her palms

Lan Jue hadthem from some unseen locale He took back the two from Qianlin as well “Watch carefully,” he instructed

Each hand had two balls; one in the pal close scrutiny, Lan Jue had the ball in his palm move towards the radial end of his hand, while the distant ball followed it’s trajectory in a circle until the two glass balls had switched places Both hands undulated in similar fashi+on to the exercise before, but this time the balls rolled and danced around one another

In theory the addition of an extra ball wasn’t nificantly more difficult Lan Jue’s movements were slower than he was capable of, so that his student could observe

The exercises were called pal, either mono or duo It was a viable metric to deterood speed and fluidity with the balls could sustain ten CPSIf you couldn’t coetting in a mecha suit

“You give it a try” The balls were passed to Qianlin

She didn’t say anything, but leapt right in to it Thethe ball around she hadn’t used enough power Both were cast in to disarray, and fell to the ground

Lan Jue snatched them up and put them once more in to her hands Qianlin’s face was red

“Iher head sheepishly

Lan Jue shook his head “When I first started doing this, it took , don’t rush When it co is a calm heart Pay attention to your state of ot the movements down you can add speed”

“Got it” Qianlin began again, with Lan Jue at her side periodically giving pointers Tiny details, tricks and pointers were delivered in her ear as she practiced

Ti the exercises She never coently performed what her teacher demanded

Lan Jue’s surprise only grew as their session continued She really did have a natural ability for this, and her choppy movements were already much smoother She was as yet unpracticed, but the rhythet to this point, when he started learning If this was any indication, the fact she started her training late didn’t look like it would stop Qianlin froh CPS The suppleness of her ood as a child’s

“Spend the next two days working on this, and once you’re ready we’ll move on to the next This is specifically to help your hand speed, and you’ll see the benefits of it soon if you keep it up Speaking of, tell me what you think about your mecha manipulation ability”

“I haven’t reached second-grade yet, I think,” she answered “All the basics I know, but I’m not proficient I haven’t studied much”

Lan Jue nodded thoughtfully to hiinning anyway”

Qianlin looked up from the balls “Why do you say that?”
