I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

After confirming the Qi and Blood Pill, Xu Hao did not immediately begin cultivating on the spot like his senior brother Liu Yong and second senior brother Zhao Heshan.

Instead, he left the Chen family martial arts school and went directly back to his house in the eastern suburbs to pick up his mother, Xu Liushi.

His opponent in the fight was a red-named individual, possibly from the Longevity Cult, so he had to ensure his mother's safety.

He certainly didn't want to hear the news of his mother, Xu Liushi, being kidnapped halfway through the competition.

Soon, Xu Hao arranged for Xu Liushi to live in the central courtyard of the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

After everything was in place, Xu Hao took out the Qi and Blood Pill and began cultivating.

Tiger Fist +19

[Body Tempering +17]

"Hiss." Xu Hao gasped as he looked at the displayed prompt.

This speed.

If he had a few more Qi and Blood Pills, he could reach the fourth level of cultivation within a few days.

Unfortunately, this thing is extremely precious.

Only when faced with a life-or-death situation would Chen Changhe be willing to take it out; otherwise, his personal disciples would need to wait for three full years.

Xu Hao calmed himself down and continued his cultivation.

In the following period, Xu Hao accelerated his cultivation.

By evening, Chen Changhe had returned to the martial arts school.

His face showed both trepidation and surprise.

The Power Pill is too attractive to a fourth-level martial artist.

Even if everyone thinks the other side is well-prepared and has made ample preparations, the situation is extremely challenging.

But Chen Changhe still wanted to take a gamble.

Chen Changhe returned to the martial arts school, summoned several of his close disciples, and instructed them, "The matter has been settled, and the authorities are witnessing it. Now we just need to wait for the appointed time. In the meantime, if you have any questions about your training, feel free to ask me!"

Chen Changhe made a decision.

Not only Qi and Blood Pills, but also various resources, and even some medicinal herbs that were extremely difficult to find in the past, were brought out and shared with Xu Hao and the others.

That night, Xu Hao's cultivation speed increased once again!

Tiger Fist +19

[Body Tempering +17]

Xu Hao continued his cultivation until late at night.

"Xu Hao, cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. Don't overwork yourself!" Chen Changhe walked out of the room and saw Xu Hao still cultivating, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"Understood, I'll cultivate a bit more to digest the medicinal effects!" Xu Hao replied quickly, but his hands continued to move.

"Alright, just don't damage your body!" Seeing Xu Hao's persistence, Chen Changhe didn't say anything more.

He needs to rest well and get himself back to his best condition.

Because of the battle the day after tomorrow, he must defeat two fourth-level warriors in succession.

Xu Hao continued to cultivate, and even after his senior brothers stopped cultivating, he still practiced his fist techniques.

Senior Brother Liu Yong stopped what he was doing, went to the washbasin, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This junior brother is really diligent!"

"Yes, no wonder he was able to break through three levels in such a short time and become Master's personal disciple. I have to admire him!" Zhao Heshan walked over, looked at Xu Hao who was still cultivating, and couldn't help but shake his head.

He can be considered quite hardworking.

Unexpectedly, there were people who were even more hardworking than him.

After washing up, the two went to their room in the central courtyard to rest.

Xu Hao continued practicing his boxing techniques.

Because his Tiger Fist technique is nearing perfection.

If he can reach the perfect state before the competition, then he will be no weaker than any fourth-break martial artist in terms of attributes or techniques.

boom.

As the night deepened, Xu Hao's body shuddered.

An inexplicable aura enveloped him.

His aura didn't change much, but his hand gestures and body shape had a smoother, more harmonious feel.

It was like a lurking beast.

Tiger Fist +19

[Body Tempering +17]

[Your Tiger Fist has reached perfection. Special effect: Strength +18, Speed ​​+16 during operation]

"I've finally reached perfection!" Xu Hao exclaimed with joy.

Although its characteristics are no different from Chen Changhe's.

However, once he unleashes this attribute, he is even more powerful than Chen Changhe.

If Chen Changhe was confident in his ability to fight, then he was completely unhindered at this moment.

Xu Hao immediately opened his personal attributes panel to check the details.

Player: Xu Hao (19/70)

Level: 76 (233/800) (Can be obtained by killing valuable creatures)

Power: 48

Stamina: 49

Agility: 47

Mental state: 11 (normal level is 5)

Health: 800

Free attribute points: 0

Martial Arts: Fierce Tiger Fist [Perfect 13/5000, Trait: Strength +13, Speed ​​+11 when activated]

Swift Step [Mastery 1986/2000, Trait: Grants a light-body effect during use, Agility +8]

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

Body Tempering Fourth Breakthrough, 865/5000

Achievements: None; Backpack: 10 cubic meters.

"After perfection, there is another level?" Xu Hao looked at his attributes, especially when he saw the information after the Fierce Tiger Fist attribute, and he was stunned.

Is this the ultimate?

Xu Hao snapped out of his daze and immediately looked expectant.

According to Chen Changhe, the Fierce Tiger Fist he practiced originated from the outer sect techniques of the Five Animal Frolics Sect, which has a long history.

If there truly is an ultimate form, then its characteristics must not be limited to simply increasing power and speed during operation; there must be other unique linkages.

"I hope I'm not mistaken!"

Xu Hao glanced at the attribute panel again, and then practiced the Swift Wind Step in the courtyard.

He is not far from mastering the Swift Step technique.

The Qi and Blood Pill seems to have the effect of enhancing cultivation, so it shouldn't be wasted.

boom.

Xu Hao cultivated until the next morning, when suddenly his figure moved and he darted more than ten meters away.

[Your Swift Step has reached a minor mastery level. Its special ability grants a lightness effect during its execution, and increases Agility by 11.]

Xu Hao experienced it and found it very enjoyable.

He did not continue his cultivation after that.

As Chen Changhe said, cultivation requires a balance between work and rest.

The competition is approaching, and he has already improved everything he needed to; there's no time to improve anything else.

Therefore, it's time to get some rest.

Xu Hao even considered taking advantage of his increased combat power to sneak directly to the residence of the red-named player and launch a surprise attack.

But he quickly abandoned the idea.

After all, although he was very strong, it was definitely impossible for him to kill a fourth-level warrior silently.

If he causes a disturbance and has no good reason, he will inevitably become the target of attacks.

He is not yet able to rule Qinghe County with absolute power.

"I'll let you live for a couple more days. On the arena, you'll become my experience points!" Xu Hao yawned, then washed up and returned to the central courtyard to rest.

The next day, the eldest and second eldest brothers woke up early and began practicing their boxing in the central courtyard.

In order to conserve their energy before the competition, they did not refine a second Qi and Blood Pill.

Xu Hao's deep sleep did not attract any strange attention from others.

Because everyone knows that adjusting one's state of mind before a major battle is essential.

Some people practice martial arts, some people sleep; everyone is different.

Xu Hao slept until the afternoon of the next day.

He woke up naturally, and after having a meal with Xu Liushi, he calmly adjusted his energy and spirit.

As time went on, thanks to the efforts of some people, news of the martial arts competition spread like wildfire throughout Qinghe County, attracting considerable attention...
