I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"So that's how it is!"

Xu Hao understood the cultivation method of the Three Breakthroughs and immediately began to cultivate.

He needs to try it out and see how his cultivation progress will be without cultivation resources.

If the progress is acceptable, then he won't need cultivation resources.

If progress is slow, then the only option is to find a way to make money.

The cultivation resources for the third breakthrough are simply too expensive.

Even though he was worth a thousand taels, he still wanted to save money.

After unleashing a set of Fierce Tiger Fist, Xu Hao's progress bar did not show up on his screen.

"Too slow!" Xu Hao sighed inwardly.

He continued boxing.

We must ensure that progress is made.

Boom boom boom.

With his fist techniques combined with the Three Breakthroughs cultivation method, Xu Hao became increasingly proficient.

Tiger Fist +1

[Body Tempering +1]

[Body Tempering Third Breakthrough, 1/2000]

Xu Hao frowned slightly as he looked at the information presented.

His Tiger Fist had already reached a minor level of mastery, but he never expected that combining it with his physical training would require practicing two sets of fist techniques to improve his progress by only one level.

Both sets of boxing techniques require at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

At this rate of 2,000, it would take forever to achieve that!

Even if you practice boxing without sleep, it will still take forty-two days, nearly two months.

Moreover, who can work without sleep?

Regardless of physical strength or energy, one can only cultivate for a maximum of seven or eight hours a day.

If you calculate it that way, it will take more than half a year!

"Forget it, let's go buy some cultivation resources!" Xu Hao immediately stopped practicing his fist techniques.

For an ordinary person, being able to cultivate to the third breakthrough level in half a year is truly an incredible stroke of luck.

But for Xu Hao, this pace was too slow.

Xu Hao glanced at the other martial arts school disciples in the Central Academy, filled out a registration form, and then left the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

Now that he has reached the second level of martial arts mastery, Xu Hao's status in the martial arts school has greatly increased, and he has more freedom to come and go.

Xu Hao first went to the inn to pick up his mother and safely escorted her to the eastern suburbs. Then he immediately went to the medicine shop in Qinghe County.

The Brilliant Pill Pharmacy, I've heard, originated from Shuangqing Prefecture.

It contains a great many kinds of pills, but they are also extremely expensive.

One muscle-strengthening pill also costs five taels of silver.

"Hiss!" Xu Hao gasped.

The medicine powder from the Chen Family Martial Arts School is already expensive enough; if you add this Bone and Tendon Pill on top of that, wouldn't it cost ten taels of silver at once?

This is something that ordinary people cannot withstand!

After thinking for a moment, Xu Hao still bought twenty Bone Strengthening Pills.

Because the medicine powder is diluted with water, it can be used a little more than once.

"Have a safe journey, sir!" The waiter at the Brilliant Pill Shop warmly saw Xu Hao out of the shop.

After all, this is a large order worth hundreds of taels.

Xu Hao did not go to the martial arts school, but instead went to a house in the eastern suburbs.

"Aren't you going back to the martial arts school today?" Xu Liushi asked, looking puzzled when she saw Xu Hao return.

"I won't be going back today. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I'll spend some time with my mother!" Xu Hao said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll go cook for you!" Xu Liushi said with a happy expression.

The Lunar New Year is just a day or two away.

Xu Hao watched Xu Liu's retreating figure, then looked around at the dilapidated courtyard. He really wanted to change the courtyard, preferably to one in the inner city of Qinghe County.

It's a pity that even with his vast wealth, he lacked the magnanimity.

"I'm still too poor. I need to find another way to make money in my spare time!" Xu Hao started by getting some water and stirring the special medicine powder from the Chen Family Martial Arts School in a wooden bucket.

He took off his coat.

Even though the weather was cold, Xu Hao's martial arts skills still allowed him to move with ease.

The medicine powder covered the surface of the body, and a bone-chilling cold sensation immediately followed.

Immediately afterwards, warmth was conducted in from the outside of the surface.

Xu Hao knew that the medicine was taking effect.

Xu Hao immediately took out a Bone and Tendon Pill, broke it open, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The energy is hot and dry.

Feeling his body's condition, Xu Hao immediately clenched his fist and adjusted his breathing.

While practicing his fist techniques, he also circulated his energy according to the Three Breakthroughs cultivation method.

Boom boom boom.

As Xu Hao practiced his fist techniques, he could feel an energy spreading around his body, both inside and out.

Each time the infection spread, Xu Hao felt a tingling sensation in his bones.

This signifies the official start of the hammer-forging process.

"Great, cultivation resources are really good; this way, I don't feel like my body is depleted!"

Xu Hao understood.

He has a game panel, so he doesn't need cultivation resources, but cultivation still consumes his own qi and blood, and his body's energy.

This needs to be replenished by eating.

However, such cultivation is somewhat like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

In other words, there is a control panel; otherwise, a normal person would eventually fail due to the depletion and exhaustion of their body through cultivation.

This is why scholars are poor while martial arts are rich, and it is also one of the reasons why ordinary people find it difficult to cultivate the Three Breakthroughs.

Tiger Fist +3

[Body Tempering +3]

[Body Tempering Third Breakthrough, 4/2000]

As soon as he unleashed a set of punches, Xu Hao heard the notification sound from the control panel.

"Great! The speed has increased threefold, and the time has been halved!" Xu Hao was very satisfied.

What would normally take six to more than half a year, now, combined with cultivation resources, only requires one-third of the time.

It can be broken three times in two or three months!

Next, Xu Hao studied and practiced diligently.

During this period, he also spent a comfortable New Year with Xu Liushi.

With money, you can eat well and wear warm clothes.

They no longer suffer from cold and hunger like before.

The New Year has passed, and it's the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Xu Hao got up early, bought gifts at the market, and went directly to the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

As a disciple, even if you are not a direct disciple, you should still observe the proper etiquette.

Xu Hao arrived at the martial arts school.

Many disciples have already arrived here.

The School of Foreign Languages ​​remains the School of Foreign Languages.

Xu Hao went to the Central Courtyard, where there were already many unfamiliar disciples.

"Xu Hao, come here quickly, let me introduce you to my fellow disciples!" Tang Dengshan greeted Xu Hao as he approached.

Despite losing an arm, Tang Dengshan was still trusted by the curator.

"This is Senior Brother Liu Yong, a three-stage martial artist, who usually escorts goods!" Tang Dengshan first led Xu Hao to a burly man who was over two meters tall.

Xu Hao glanced at it, and the information was already displayed in front of him.

Liu Yong, a three-stage breakthrough martial artist, has the following stats: Strength 23, Stamina 22, Agility 20, Spirit 7.

Technique: Fierce Tiger Fist (Mastery), Special Effect: Strength +13, Speed ​​+10 during execution

First breakthrough trait, Defense +10.

Second breakthrough trait: Endurance +9

Triple Break Special Feature, Attack and Defense Combination +9

It has to be said that this burly man has very strong attributes.

He is at least one of the best among the three-stage warriors.

In particular, his strength and stamina far exceed those of a normal third breakthrough.

You should know that at this level, every bit of strength can be far greater than that of others.

Xu Hao composed himself, quickly clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Senior Brother, I am Xu Hao, and I have now broken through to the second stage of cultivation!"

"Haha, so you're the Xu Hao that Junior Brother Tang mentioned who broke through to the next level in one month and then again in two months? Not bad, you have a bright future!" Liu Yong laughed loudly, walked over without any airs, and patted Xu Hao's shoulder forcefully.

"You flatter me, it was just a fluke!" Xu Hao said modestly.

"There's no room for luck in martial arts training!" Liu Yong said solemnly.
