Within Crymora, most people usually abandoned physical training once they awakened, as only the unawakened relied on it to grow stronger. The awakened relied on breakthroughs to grow stronger physically, forgetting that the normal exercises they did prior to their awakening could also help them grow stronger regardless. All they had to do was scale their physical training to match their needs at that point in time.
The biggest proof of this was just that one-month training period prior to the Inter-Empire Tournament. The improvement was immense at the time.
People wondered why they were getting left behind by others, but unknown to them, those others were putting in the work and didn't just sit down to cultivate and rely on breakthroughs.
