And so he would move about on the jar for the 10 days while constantly hitting the sandbags. He didn’t know how many times he fell, but Wang Chao had at last been able move around and change his center of gravity. But the sandbags had still managed to knock him down or force him to misstep a couple of times.

But Tang Zichen had never once let Wang Chao stop. Wang Chao had never once questioned her either since he believed that she was doing what was best for him. Another three days within the ten days they had, Wang Chao couldn’t help but ask when he was resting, “Sis Chen, what are those steel balls doing in the trough there?”

Tang Zichen followed where Wang Chao pointed and said, “Those aren’t steel balls, go and take a look.”

Wang Chao hurriedly walked over and tried to lift up the heavy steel balls. But that was when it clicked. No matter how much strength he used, it was like trying to have a dragonfly push back the stone tower–the most he could do was to push them around with difficulty and not lift it.

Wang Chao was surprised at this strange sight. When he had spun the steel balls, he could sense that there was a resonating sound coming from within.

“This ball is made of an inch thick layer of lead while the insides is filled with mercury! This is much heavier than a steel ball, so just how could you lift one?” Tang Zichen laughed. “The scholars had believed lead and mercury to be medicine, so I took their concept and used them for practicing martial arts.”
