There was one thing Jake could do though before he rescued Lu Yan. Return the favor to the General. Picking up the Tribune's sword that he had just slayed, he put himself in position holding it by the hilt like an athlete would throw a javelin.
He didn't claim to be a great thrower, but with his new stats of Agility, Perception and Intelligence, his dexterity and precision was simply unmatched by any normal human over short distances, even if it was his first time.
Where a normal human would need tens, hundreds or even thousands of throws before acquiring the correct posture and decent accuracy, Jake was able to adapt during the gesture itself, his brain unconsciously taking into account all sorts of details to ensure optimal hand-eye coordination.
