Chapter 520 - Exhausted (2/2)

You make it sound so easy. How can you drain someone of physical strength when they have so much spiritual power?

“Exactly how did you do it?”

“Forgive me, but that’s my secret.” Gu Bailu touched her Soul Collecting Bracelet.

If the Soul Collecting Bracelet could collect ghosts, it could certainly absorb physical strength.

Gu Bailu had been inspired by the ghost soldiers who were able to absorb the spiritual power of other people. It was a marvelous skill.

While she wasn’t able to take other people’s spiritual power, she could take their physical strength.

Spiritual power was like a person who used their limbs to defend themselves in a fight; if they didn’t have any physical strength, they wouldn’t be able to use their limbs at all.

Gu Bailu had only been testing it out. She hadn’t expected to succeed so easily.

The audience was confused. Could a person be drained of physical strength?

It had never occurred to them that their immense spiritual power was supported by their physical strength, because using spiritual power was very easy and not exhausting at all for them.

However, once they were drained of physical strength, they wouldn’t even be able to pick up a piece of paper.

How could a battle be fought like that?

“Grandmother, father, that isn’t fighting at all, but only tricks! The world would fall into chaos if everybody fights like that.”

The second prince stood up and voiced strong objection.

The empress dowager looked at the emperor and asked, “What do you think?”

The emperor thought for a moment before he said, “The Gu family did win on the surface, but their victory was baseless. A battle should be won through fighting instead of tricks.”

“Your Majesty, what do you mean by baseless? Is there a rule that forbids such a method of fighting? Do we have to spill blood for a victory?”
