I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"Alright!" Tang Dengshan handed the medicinal powder to Xu Hao. "Medicinal herbs are hard to replenish these days. If this runs out, it might take a few days. Also, cultivation requires a gradual approach. Don't deplete your body through cultivation; haste makes waste!"

"Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother Tang. I will pay attention!" Xu Hao clasped his hands in a salute and then left.

Because in addition to the medicinal powder, it also needs to be supplemented with the tendon and bone pill.

Xu Hao quickly arrived at the pharmacy and bought two hundred taels of Bone and Tendon Pills.

The medicinal powder is the guide, used in conjunction with the Fierce Tiger Fist, while the Tendon and Bone Pill is the true elixir for strengthening tendons and bones, filling the body completely.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare more.

After purchasing enough cultivation resources, Xu Hao returned to his house in the eastern suburbs.

After that, apart from going to the yamen every few days to report for duty, Xu Hao stayed in his room to cultivate.

Time slips away quietly.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

In the past month, Xu Hao has pushed the progress to an extremely high level.

The daily expenses amounted to twenty or thirty taels of silver.

With such terrifying energy expenditure, Xu Hao is not far from achieving the third breakthrough.

This time, Xu Hao put aside his cultivation and went to the government office to report for duty.

"Hmm?" Xu Hao walked down the street and clearly saw several unfamiliar figures.

Most importantly, the name above the figure's head is in red.

Come again?

Xu Hao remained calm and quickened his pace towards the government office.

If there are more hunting missions, then he can go hunting openly.

If there is no hunting mission, he can also follow the other party for a period of time in advance to see what their purpose is.

"Xu Hao, you're here!" A familiar constable greeted Xu Hao upon his arrival.

Since clearing out one of the Changsheng Sect's strongholds and defeating the Changsheng Sect's three-stage warriors, Xu Hao's status has risen considerably.

In the extraordinary world, the strong are revered.

"A lot of strangers have come to Qinghe County lately!" Xu Hao asked Huang Guangming casually.

Huang Guangming was very talkative and would greet everyone he met, which is why he received so much information.

"Then you've come to the right person!" Huang Guangming said softly, "These people came to Qinghe County to open a martial arts school!"

"Open a martial arts school?" Xu Hao frowned slightly.

It's not the Longevity Cult?

Or is it that the Eternal Life Cult is failing in secret and is now planning to come out in the open?

Opening a martial arts school will inevitably lead to clashes with the local martial arts schools in Qinghe County, which happened to be the trump card that the Cui family used last time.

"Indeed, Qinghe County is about to experience another upheaval!" Huang Guangming pondered for a moment, then continued, "Brother Xu, you're from the Chen Family Martial Arts School, so you might get involved. Be careful; the people who came this time are quite capable!"

"Thanks for the reminder!" Xu Hao had taken it to heart.

Regardless of whether the previous guesses were right or wrong, let's first reach the third level of cultivation.

After Xu Hao checked in and received the same instructions as Zhao Heshan, he continued his journey back to his house in the eastern suburbs.

Half a month has passed.

Xu Hao was cultivating when his whole body trembled.

Tiger Fist +5

[Body Tempering +5]

Your cultivation has advanced to the third breakthrough realm.

Gain +5 Strength, +5 Stamina, and +5 Agility.

Gain special effect: Attack and defense combo +9

Xu Hao felt the changes in his body and immediately opened his personal attribute panel.

Power: 42

Stamina: 43

Sword Drawing Technique [Proficiency 985/1000, Trait: Armor Penetration +10]

Achievements: None; Backpack: 10 cubic meters.

"So powerful! These attributes are stronger than any fourth-stage breakthrough martial artist!"

Xu Hao looked at his personal attributes and felt a surge of excitement.

With this attribute, he could practically run rampant in Qinghe County, and no one could possibly be his match!

Moreover, his Tiger Fist technique is almost perfect.

Once he advances, he will no longer have the last weakness compared to other fourth-level warriors.

It was a complete rout.

"Next, I need to go to the Chen Family Martial Arts School to obtain the Four Breakthrough Body Tempering Technique!" Xu Hao pondered for a moment, then got up and headed to the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

The situation in Qinghe County is now turbulent, with potential disasters lurking beneath the surface.

Moreover, these people are clearly targeting the martial arts school.

He had to obtain the Four Breakthrough Body Tempering Method in advance, because he was afraid of something going wrong.

If the master of the Chen Family Martial Arts School were to die unexpectedly or be seriously injured, he would have to start all over again if he wanted to break through to the fourth level of body tempering.

This time, no matter the cost, we must first obtain the Four Breakthrough Body Tempering Technique.

Xu Hao spent some time before arriving at the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

Nowadays, even more people are coming to Chen Family Martial Arts School to learn martial arts.

Shouts and yells could be heard everywhere in the outer courtyard.

The trainees all assumed the stances of the Fierce Tiger Fist, constantly swinging their fists, their bodies drenched in sweat.

"Greetings, senior brother!"

When Xu Hao arrived, the other students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department greeted him.

The main reason is that Xu Hao not only has the logo of the Chen Family Martial Arts School, but also the waist badge of a constable from the yamen.

This is a symbol of status and position.

"Hmm!" Xu Hao nodded in response, and then went to the Intermediate Court.

The Intermediate Court is still dominated by small groups.

Some gang members and their families are still trying to win over the people they sponsor, and they all manage to keep to themselves.

When they saw Xu Hao arrive, they didn't go up to greet him. They just glanced at him indifferently and then went about their own business.

Xu Hao didn't take it to heart. He first greeted his senior brother Tang Dengshan, and then went straight to the backyard of the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

Only disciples who have reached the second level of cultivation are allowed to enter and exit the backyard.

Chen Yinyin was brewing some kind of medicinal liquid when she saw Xu Hao arrive. She immediately greeted him, "Junior Brother Xu!"

"Yes, Senior Sister, are you brewing the medicine?" Xu Hao smiled calmly, then asked directly, "I've come to see Master about something!"

"Go ahead, Father's having tea in the backyard!"

Xu Hao said goodbye to Chen Yinyin and soon arrived at the pavilion in the backyard.

"Sit down!" The owner, Chen Changhe, pointed to a spot in the pavilion and poured Xu Hao some fragrant tea.

Xu Hao sat calmly opposite Chen Changhe, quietly waiting for the aroma of the tea to fill the air.

"What is it?" Chen Changhe put down his teacup and asked calmly.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and said calmly, "I've broken through to the third level!"

pat!

Chen Changhe dropped the teacup in his hand, spilling tea all over the table.

He stood up abruptly, staring at Xu Hao with disbelief, and asked repeatedly, "You've broken through to the third level?"

It hasn't been that long!

Since its opening, the Chen Family Martial Arts School has been incredibly fast!

His cultivation speed was even faster than that of other people who opened schools and taught students.

"Yes, I've come to learn the subsequent Four Breakthrough Body Tempering Methods!" Xu Hao stated his purpose directly.

Chen Changhe received Xu Hao's affirmative answer, and there was still a hint of disbelief on his face, but he quickly recovered, sat down again, and then stood the teacup upright.

"The Four-Step Body Tempering Method is the core secret of my Chen Family Martial Arts School..."

Chen Changhe's words pointed out the rarity of the Four Breakthrough Body Tempering Method.
