I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Xu Hao specifically wore the training clothes from the Chen Family Martial Arts School this time, just to try and intimidate them.

But he didn't expect that Fatty Huang Shan would be so disrespectful.

They made it clear that they urgently needed money.

Could it be that the Catfish Gang and the Fire Dragon Gang have reached a very close stage in their struggle?

However, whatever it is, since they've already pushed us to the brink, we can't just sit idly by.

I never let my revenge linger overnight.

"Mother, you stay home, I'm going out for a bit!" Xu Hao glanced at the darkening sky, gave a perfunctory reply, and walked out of the old courtyard.

Be careful!

Meanwhile, Fatty Huang Shan continued to roam the streets and alleys, collecting incense money from the Dragon King and ruthlessly exploiting him.

Soon, they returned to their base, a rather grand courtyard.

"Boss, if we keep ransacking him like this, we might incite a popular uprising!" a henchman cautiously warned. "Besides, Xu Hao has entered the Chen Family Martial Arts School. If we keep pressuring him like this, what if he asks the school for help?"

"That good-for-nothing brat actually spent ten taels to learn martial arts at a martial arts school. We should have just robbed him earlier!" Fatty Huang Shan snorted, completely unconcerned.

"I've been training for years and I'm still nothing. He's just a fisherman's son who only joined a martial arts school. What achievements can he make or what connections can he build in a month? He'll only be able to slink back in the end."

Moreover, the Fire Dragon Gang is powerful and aggressive, even my brother-in-law is struggling to keep up. He needs to make as much money as he can!

The Catfish Gang is at a disadvantage in their fight against the Fire Dragon Gang, and they are currently recovering.

Moreover, if the Catfish Gang fails, this area will be vacated, and without territory, where will the money and enjoyment come from?

Since that's the case, let's make a killing before we leave.

Just like now!

Fat Huang Shan looked at the pile of broken silver and copper coins in front of him, his heart surging with excitement.

"Then let's go down!"

"Go on, I've arranged two women for you. You've had a hard day, so enjoy yourselves!"

"Thank you, Master Huang!" The two burly men were overjoyed.

At the same time, a figure quietly approached under the cover of night.

He was none other than Xu Hao, whom they had been carefully following after being asked to pay a debt.

You must avenge any wrong done to you.

Since the other party is pressuring us so much, we'll report it that day.

Xu Hao approached the building and waited patiently. After he heard the panting stop, the woman inside got up and left.

Xu Hao remained hidden and motionless until then.

It wasn't until late at night that Xu Hao darted out like a cat.

First were two burly guards.

Because the woman had left, the door to the room was not locked from the inside.

Xu Hao pushed it gently, and it opened.

Xu Hao came to the bedside, used the darkness to see the direction clearly, circulated his internal energy, and used both hands to restrain the head of the big man from the Catfish Gang, twisting it forcefully.

With the temporary +3 strength boost from the Fierce Tiger Fist, a loud crack resounded.

The big man swayed slightly before dying.

[You have gained 32 experience points for killing a valuable creature!]

"Huh? There's an extra bonus?" Xu Hao was overjoyed.

Even though the experience points aren't high, every little bit counts!

Xu Hao followed the same method, killing the other guards as well, and gaining 32 experience points.

Finally, Xu Hao arrived at Fatty Huang Shan's room.

With a surge of strength, he turned the doorknob and opened the door to the room.

"Who?" Fat Huang Shan was startled awake from his sleep, but he didn't have time to react.

With the temporary agility boost from the Fierce Tiger Fist, Xu Hao pounced on Fatty Huang Shan.

"Someone come here!" Fatty Huang Shan roared, but before he could finish speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag was already approaching.

Fat Huang Shan could only hastily defend himself.

boom.

A loud cracking sound echoed.

The temporary +3 strength is almost equivalent to half an adult male. In addition, Xu Hao was the attacker, and the fat man Huang Shan was knocked back.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hao unleashed his beginner-level Tiger Fist, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the fat man, Huang Shan.

Tiger Fist is inherently a symbol of power and speed.

It emphasizes continuity.

"No, stop hitting me! I beg for mercy! I'll give you all my money just to spare my life!" Fatty Huang Shan shouted frantically.

"Even if I kill you, your things will still be mine!" Xu Hao's fists didn't stop.

"You, it's you, Xu Hao! You dare to kill me? My brother-in-law is the leader of the Catfish Gang, a broken-level martial artist! If you kill me, my brother-in-law will wipe out your entire family!" Fatty Huang Shan heard the familiar voice and quickly brought up his background.

Unfortunately, this didn't work at all.

Xu Hao continued to relentlessly attack the fat man Huang Shan's vital points with his fists.

"Ah, Xu..." Fatty Huang Shan tried to shout one last time to attract attention, but before he could finish speaking, a fist slammed into his throat.

Click.

The sound of bones cracking echoed, and Fatty Huang Shan's words came to an abrupt halt.

[You have killed a valuable creature and gained 96 experience points!]

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

"Not bad, better than your two lackeys!" Xu Hao suppressed the surge of anger in his heart. He pondered for a moment, walked to the back kitchen, picked up a cleaver, and disemboweled the fat man Huang Shan.

It's not that Xu Hao is cruel.

His main reason was to cover up the scene where Fatty Huang Shan died from a fist fight.

What if someone makes the connection to him?

What if someone recognizes the Tiger Fist style?

You should know that Fatty Huang Shan was alive before he died; he had a brother-in-law who was a hall master in the Catfish Gang.

He is very weak now and cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake.

After Xu Hao examined the area where the fist mark had been cut and confirmed that no trace of it could be seen, he began to clean up the battlefield.

"So much money!" Xu Hao searched under the bed and found a box filled with copper coins, silver coins, and a fifty-tael silver note.

It truly is a case of murder and robbery bringing wealth.

He fished in the Blackwater Swamp for several days and nights, but only earned twelve taels of silver.

He has now earned more than fifty taels of silver simply by killing a member of the Catfish Gang.

I made a fortune!

Xu Hao quickly returned to his two henchmen and looted their silver coins as well.

Xu Hao quickly put the money into his game inventory, then he found some firewood, lit a candle, and after everything was ready, he left.

Xu Hao quietly returned to the courtyard and climbed over the wall.

"Who!" Xu Liu's tense voice rang out.

"Mom, it's me! Nothing's wrong, go to sleep early!" Xu Hao pushed open his bedroom door and went inside.

Then, Xu Hao took out his haul for the day and began to organize it.

After a thorough inventory, there were a total of sixty-seven taels of silver, as well as some valuable goods.

However, these goods cannot be sold in the short term.

Even so, these sixty-seven taels were still a huge profit for Xu Hao.

"How could a small leader of the Catfish Gang have so much money?" Xu Hao didn't dwell on it.

Regardless of how Fatty Huang Shan got it, he ultimately benefited from it.

With this money, the family's life improved, and it also helped them learn martial arts in the future.

He remembered that the martial arts school had corresponding training resources, but they were very expensive.

He didn't inquire about it before because he didn't have money, but now that he has money, he will definitely ask when he gets back, as it might speed up his cultivation.

Xu Hao carefully put away the money.

He opened his personal attribute panel, looked at the remaining free attribute point, thought for a moment, and then directly added it to his stamina.

Stamina is linked to health and defense, and can also increase abnormal resistance and recovery.

This is the best attribute to allocate points for someone who wants to practice martial arts.

At least it will give him more time to cultivate!
