I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Zhao Heshan said solemnly, "Especially you. Your bravery today will surely arouse jealousy. Someone might even leak your information. Those villains of the Longevity Sect are capable of anything!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely find him and bring him to justice!" Xu Hao said immediately.

Being sent by the Longevity Sect as a spy, their cultivation level must not be very high.

Because a fourth-level martial artist is considered one of the strongest in the Changsheng Sect's strongholds around Qinghe County, how could they possibly be directly sent to act as spies?

Moreover, the Longevity Sect also lost many high-level martial artists in the battle at Cui Family Fish Pond, and those who have come now must be at the third breakthrough level.

Xu Hao didn't care about such martial artists at all.

Moreover, even if he were truly a fourth-level martial artist, Xu Hao would still be capable of fighting him.

By the time he returns, he will have used up today's gains and reached the fourth level.

It's just an appetizer!

Zhao Heshan laughed and said, "Since you know what's going on, I won't say any more. Alright, you've made a great contribution in this encirclement and suppression operation. I'll ask the magistrate for a commendation and reward for you when we get back!"

"I dare not take credit. It is all thanks to your excellent leadership, sir. Otherwise, how could I have possibly taken down the stronghold of the Longevity Cult by myself?" Xu Hao quickly declined.

"Haha, what's rightfully yours will be yours, don't worry!" Zhao Heshan patted Xu Hao on the shoulder with satisfaction, looking pleased.

She's capable, sensible, and easy to get along with.

Next, after cleaning up the battlefield, everyone escorted the Catfish Gang back to the yamen.

Along the way, countless people in the eastern suburbs saw the leader of the Catfish Gang and immediately cheered.

The entire eastern suburbs have long suffered from the scourge of catfish.

After returning to the yamen with Zhao Heshan and handing over their report, Xu Hao declined Huang Guangming and the others' invitations and quickly returned to his house in the eastern suburbs.

"I heard you arrested the Catfish Gang members?" Xu Liu asked gossipily as soon as she saw Xu Hao return.

His face gleamed with excitement.

The Xu family was also oppressed by the Catfish Gang.

Now that I've learned that the Catfish Gang has been arrested, I'm overjoyed. What's more, my son was among those who arrested them, which makes me even more proud.

"Yes, the Catfish Gang has colluded with the Longevity Cult to wreak havoc in the region, and they won't be able to get out this time!" Xu Hao briefly introduced the situation of the Catfish Gang.

"No wonder the Catfish Gang bullied us; they had this trick up their sleeve!" Xu Liu exclaimed, then added, "My son is truly amazing! He dealt with the Catfish Gang; the neighbors are all praising you!"

Xu Liushi felt extremely proud.

"I'm just a handyman, nothing special!" Xu Hao reminded her, "Mom, next time anyone asks you that, will you just say the same thing?!"

"Why?" Xu Liushi was even more puzzled.

"Think about it," Xu Hao quickly explained. "The Catfish Gang colluded with the Longevity Cult. Now that the Catfish Gang has been wiped out, given the Longevity Cult's vengeful nature, wouldn't they be looking for someone to retaliate against? If you tell everyone that it was my achievement, wouldn't you incur the envy of the Longevity Cult?"

"Ah!" Xu Liushi reacted, letting out a sigh of relief but her face was still full of tension. She asked worriedly, "Thank goodness, I didn't take credit for capturing the Catfish Gang. However, quite a few people saw you go to the Catfish Gang that day and even captured some members of the Catfish Gang. Isn't that dangerous?!"

"It's alright, they'll go to the government office first when they need to handle things!" Xu Hao smiled slightly.

He then explained it to Xu Liushi again before eagerly returning to his room.

He closed the door tightly before opening his personal attributes panel.

Xu Hao looked at his personal attributes and grinned.

I'm level 70 now.

The annihilation of the Longevity Cult's stronghold actually leveled him up ten times.

Ten more attribute points!

In addition to attribute points, his cultivation over this period of time has also greatly improved his skills and techniques.

The Fierce Tiger Fist is only four points away from reaching its peak.

He was also close to mastering the Swift Step and the Draw Sword Technique.

Most importantly, we are already more than halfway to the third breakthrough.

In this way, he only needs to work harder, and once he achieves the third breakthrough, plus the strengthening of each technique, he will be able to achieve his goal.

So, in the entire Qinghe County, who else could be his opponent?

Xu Hao took a deep breath, suppressing his inner joy, and immediately began to add points.

Strength +3, Stamina +3, Agility +3, Spirit +1

The reason for adding spirit is that the various attributes differ too much, and besides needing spirit to meet the standards of a certain technique, he also wanted to see if spirit had any other effects.

boom.

In an instant, Xu Hao allocated attribute points.

A surge of pure energy began to rise in the void and merge into his body.

In an instant, Xu Hao's aura became violent.

Qi and blood are also rising, and physical strength is leaping forward.

It took Xu Hao a full incense stick's time for his breathing to completely calm down.

Therefore, his attributes are: Strength 35, Stamina 36, ​​Agility 35, Spirit +11

This attribute is higher than that of a normal fourth-stage warrior.

If it weren't for the added advantage of his skills, Xu Hao could have easily suppressed a fourth-level martial artist.

Cool!

Xu Hao clenched his fist, feeling the restlessness of the power within his body.

At this moment, if he were to face Qiu Shen of the Changsheng Sect again, he could defeat him with a single punch, leaving no hidden dangers.

Xu Hao was overjoyed for a while. He immediately found some tools, mixed the medicine powder from the Chen Family Martial Arts School with water, and applied it to his body.

Once everything was settled, he immediately swallowed half a Bone and Tendon Pill and began cultivating.

Since the technique is about to be upgraded, then practice it with all your might.

The Changsheng Cult has already set its sights on Qinghe County, and its future will certainly not be peaceful and stable.

Therefore, we need to make plans as early as possible.

Ideally, he could reach the fourth level of breakthrough. At that time, the Changsheng Sect within Qinghe County would no longer be a threat, but would become his experience points.

Tiger Fist +6

[Body Tempering +6]

"Huh?" After Xu Hao finished practicing a set of fist techniques and improved his body tempering to a higher level, he immediately stopped and rubbed his eyes.

After confirming it was +6, Xu Hao showed a hint of surprise.

Normally it's +5, but now there's an extra progress bar.

"What's going on? I didn't do anything, and there were no other special changes in my cultivation state, so how come there's an extra progress level?"

Xu Hao immediately began to examine himself.

Finally, he focused his attention on the spiritual aspect.

As always, the only difference was in his mental state.

"Could mental strength accelerate cultivation progress?"
