Seeing Xia Wenqiu and Ji Congfeng drenched in sweat, Fang Zhou realized he had made a mistake.
These two Heavenly Prides are at Qi Refining Realm Perfection, even if one third of their attributes are reduced, they should be much stronger than other trialists. How could they be exhausted just from climbing a section of the Heavenly Ladder?
Their attributes must have been reduced by more than one third, likely all of it. The strength nourished by Spiritual Energy has been stripped away, reducing their bodies back to ordinary strength, which is why they're so weary.
One third of Fang Zhou's physical strength is enhanced by Spiritual Energy nourishment, while the remaining two thirds are augmented by the system, equivalent to his original body strength, which is why he is not suppressed by the Heavenly Ladder.
Xia Wenqiu and Ji Congfeng both looked at Fang Zhou in astonishment, wondering how this man doesn't have a drop of sweat on him. How did he do it?
