Li Chen explained, "When I refined the Floating Gold Balls, I deliberately inscribed magic arrays on them to form repulsive shields over their surfaces. Ordinary objects that touch them will simply slide away, unable to grip them."
Li Chen did not explain that he also had the Auxiliary Brain serving as his central control core.
With it, he only needed to perform the Silk-Threading Art and maintain the Law Threads, while leaving the Auxiliary Brain to handle how they extended and connected. This greatly reduced the strain on his mind and attention.
With the Law Threads in place, the Floating Balls had sufficient energy and power, effectively becoming extensions of his body. They would never easily fall into enemy hands or be captured.
Moreover, although all eight Floating Balls looked like rare treasures, each seemingly a magical artifact, none was actually valuable.
In essence, they were merely auxiliary tools connected to the Talisman Treasure to help unleash its power. Even if he really lost them, it would not matter much; he would only lose a few thousand Talisman Coins.
This was an inspiration he had gained after fighting Miss Bai. Mixing the false with the real, it could be considered another kind of sleight of hand.

This was the true secret behind what he called the "Thunder Whip."
