In an instant.
A surge of heat flowed into Li Beichen's hands, strengthening the muscles, tendons, and bones in his arms.
A special skill also appeared in his mind.
He took out a small refined-iron sword. Just holding it, he could sense its center of gravity.
And when Li Beichen exerted his strength, he could concentrate the full force of the [Shuriken] into a single point at the sword's tip.
Combined with his newly strengthened wrists, forearms, and upper arms.
Within fifty paces, thanks to the [Armor-Piercing Sword] trait, Li Beichen was confident he could pierce a Seventh Grade martial artist's skin.
That meant he now had the confidence to stand against a Seventh Grade martial artist.
If he were sent back to the day of the martial contest, Lin Xiong would never again be able to catch his [Shuriken] so easily.
Li Beichen gripped the little sword, and the urgency in his heart eased somewhat.
With his current strength, he could come and go as he pleased in Ram City, unless a Bone Refining expert of the Sixth Grade came after him.
Otherwise, he could roam the city without fear.
He was Meng Juxiang's disciple, and with Meng Juxiang standing behind him, it would be difficult for a Sixth Grade expert to target him alone.
If something like that really happened, he could use [Mountain Forest Affinity] to hide in the Lingnan Mountains. Even a Sixth Grade Bone Refining expert would have to lose a mouthful of teeth trying to get at him.
With his skill perfected, Li Beichen returned to his room and took a cold shower.
He changed back into his Like-Elephant Martial Hall disciple uniform.
He instructed the maid at home to find a craftsman to repair the walls.
Then he headed to the martial hall.
