Zhang Beixing's status in the martial arts community of Great Xia had certainly risen.
But with this heightened status came more restrictions.
Take his current plan to challenge martial artists across the entire country, for example.
If he were still just a Pseudo Grandmaster, he could challenge anyone he pleased, kicking down any door without a second thought.
But now, as a Grandmaster, challenging martial arts schools involved far more complications!
He couldn't go around challenging martial arts schools whose practitioners were only at the Pseudo Grandmaster level or below, could he?
Doing so would tarnish his reputation. Word would get out that he was bullying the weak, using his superior strength to oppress them.
But if he were to challenge martial arts schools or sects that possessed a Grandmaster's strength, there were only a few of them throughout Great Xia.
Wudang Mountain, Wing Chun Dojo, Shaolin Temple...
