I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Xu Hao had originally planned to use the purchased raw meat pills at the end, but now it seems he can't save them.

Next, Xu Hao discussed some matters with Tang Dengshan, and then left under the pretext of having something to do.

Back in the open space outside the house, Xu Hao took out the Raw Flesh Pill and began to calm his mind and cultivate.

Tiger Fist Proficiency +5.

[Body Tempering +5]

After completing a set of Fierce Tiger Fist, Xu Hao felt that he had improved a lot.

[Tiger Fist, Proficient 565/1000]

Body Tempering Second Breakthrough, 877/1000

"In about five or six days, I'll be able to break through to the second realm! And I'll also achieve minor mastery of the Fierce Tiger Fist!"

Xu Hao is full of energy.

Time slowly passed.

The area around the Cui family's fishpond was very calm, but everyone knew what kind of undercurrents were brewing beneath the surface.

Sunrise and nightfall, the cycle repeats itself endlessly.

Xu Hao's patrol duties have also decreased.

Five days passed quickly.

Xu Hao did not go to the fishpond, but stayed in his room.

Because his body tempering proficiency is about to reach perfection.

A set of Fierce Tiger Fist punches followed.

Xu Hao was startled.

[You have broken through to the second stage of Body Tempering, the Flesh Refining stage.]

You have gained +5 Strength, +6 Stamina, and +5 Speed!

In an instant, Xu Hao felt his shackles being broken, and his muscles and acupoints were expanded.

The breath was surging and powerful.

Xu Hao gritted his teeth and endured the nourishment from the broken mirror.

It wasn't until the time it takes for an incense stick to burn that this violent aura gradually subsided.

"I've broken through to the second level of martial arts!" Xu Hao beamed with joy.

With the game panel, everything is digitized, so he doesn't have any bottlenecks at all.

While others fear failure, he only needs to follow the steps.

Xu Hao opened his personal attribute panel.

Player: Xu Hao (18/70)

Level: 37 (25/400) (Can be obtained by killing valuable creatures)

Power: 27

Stamina: 28

Agility: 26

Mental state: 10 (normal level is 5)

Health: 400

Free attribute points: 0

Martial Arts: Fierce Tiger Fist [Mastery 365/500, Trait: Strength +7, Speed ​​+5 when activated]

Body Tempering Second Breakthrough [877/5000, Trait: Defense +10, Endurance +9 when using skills]

Achievements: None; Backpack: 10 cubic meters.

"That feels good!" Xu Hao shrugged.

Their strength and power have increased dramatically.

Although he is still at the second breakthrough level, his attributes are directly comparable to those of a third breakthrough martial artist.

It's not even far from achieving the level of "four breakthroughs and thirty points" attribute of the Pavilion Master Chen Changhe.

The only shortcoming is that the proficiency level for the third breakthrough is too high, requiring a whopping 5,000.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, I still need to intensify my cultivation!" After Xu Hao had adapted to the increase in his power, he continued to cultivate.

For the next few days, Xu Hao followed the plan step by step.

Time slips away like that.

As the year draws to a close, the number of precious fish in the fishpond is increasing.

During his spare time from practicing martial arts each day, Xu Hao would stare longingly at the treasure fish.

However, the Cui family had ordered that all the precious fish be gathered together, slaughtered, and then transported back to Qinghe County.

December 26th!

"Sir, news has come from above that the treasure fish can be slaughtered!" A fish butcher came to Xu Hao's gatehouse and loudly reminded him.

"Oh?" Xu Hao immediately jumped out of bed, hurriedly dressed, and without bothering to tidy himself up, pushed open the door and went out.

"Can we slaughter it now?" Xu Hao repeated.

"Yes!"

"Let's go!" Xu Hao took the lead, walking out of the room and heading straight for the fishpond.

The other fishmongers were already on high alert, waiting for Xu Hao.

This is the majesty of a martial artist; moreover, they cooperated perfectly last time.

"Start!" Xu Hao took a deep breath and immediately threw himself into his work.

One by one, the precious fish were captured and slaughtered by Xu Hao.

A series of notification sounds echoed in my mind.

[You have killed a valuable creature and gained 108 experience points!]

[You have killed a valuable creature and gained 112 experience points!]

……

[Your level has increased, and you have gained one free attribute point!]

A series of notification sounds fueled Xu Hao's enthusiasm, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

They were busy from dawn until dusk.

During this time, Xu Hao didn't bother to eat or drink, only nibbling on a small amount of dry rations.

The most difficult one to kill was a one-meter-long treasure fish.

But this also gave Xu Hao 500 experience points.

Only after all the precious fish in the entire fishpond had been slaughtered did Xu Hao put down the butcher's knife and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Even if the attribute points reach 27 or 28, the repetitive work every day is still extremely tiring.

But I'm tired yet happy!

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll rest for a bit!" Xu Hao instructed.

"Sir, go and rest. Leave this to us!" the fishmongers said cheerfully.

With Xu Haoqian handling the heavy physical labor, they had it all too easy.

In the past, completing half of the task in a day would have been considered highly productive.

Now, all the slaughtering tasks are completed in a single day.

They were naturally grateful to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao bid farewell to the group of fish butchers, left the fishpond, and returned to his room, where he closed the door tightly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Hao opened his personal attribute panel.

The level increased from 37 to 48, and a total of 11 free attribute points were gained.

Although the amount is not much, it's because as the level increases, the required experience points also increase. The treasure fish from ordinary years are no longer enough for him to advance quickly.

However, the eleven free attribute points still excited Xu Hao.

Xu Hao did not hesitate at all, still following the principle of allocating +4 to Strength, +3 to Stamina, and +4 to Agility.

Soon, a powerful energy emanated from his body, nourishing Xu Hao's entire being.

Powerful, overflowing.

After a few breaths, Xu Hao's attributes had completely changed.

Player: Xu Hao (18/70)

Level: 48 (325/500) (Can be obtained by killing valuable creatures)

Power: 32

Stamina: 33

Agility: 32

Mental state: 10 (normal level is 5)

Health: 600

Free attribute points: 0

Martial Arts: Fierce Tiger Fist [Mastery 896/1000, Trait: Strength +7, Speed ​​+5 when activated]

Body Tempering Triple Breakthrough [1/5000, Trait: Defense +10, Endurance +9 when using skills]

Achievements: None; Backpack: 10 cubic meters.

"These stats are even better than those of Chen Changhe, the master of the Chen family, but I'm only at the second breakthrough stage!!"

Xu Hao sighed.

Aside from his mastery of the Fierce Tiger Fist, his own cultivation level, and the slightly lower characteristics of his technique, his four-dimensional attributes have already surpassed Chen Changhe's.

Keep in mind, he's only at the second stage of Body Tempering!

With this level of combat power, he would probably be no less capable than the sect leader, Chen Changhe.

"Tomorrow is payday, and also the day the Cui family's large amount of resources are transported back to Brother Qinghe. If anything unexpected happens, it will definitely be tonight or tomorrow!"

Xu Hao pondered for a moment and began to adapt to the strength of his own body.

The improvement in strength is too great, and it is necessary to master it as soon as possible and make it as easy as using an limb.

Boom boom boom.

Xu Hao continuously practiced his boxing techniques to improve himself.

His Tiger Fist technique is nearing completion; he should master it as soon as possible.

Xu Hao worked tirelessly, neglecting to eat or sleep.

Tiger Fist Proficiency +5.

[Body Tempering +5]

boom.

Xu Hao was jolted awake as a notification sound echoed in his mind.

Your Tiger Fist technique has reached the minor mastery level!
