I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

boom.

With the infusion of energy, Xu Hao's physical strength was enhanced.

He felt full of energy.

Seven times a night is not a dream at all.

"Your stamina is really good, but we can't waste our money and energy on women. We'll do it later!" Xu Hao glanced at his second brother, then lay comfortably on the bed, reflecting on his actions that night to see if there were any mistakes or oversights that he would correct in the future.

As darkness fell, around dawn, the candle in Fatty Huang Shan's house burned down to Xu Hao's mark, and the flame fell, igniting flammable materials such as quilts around them.

boom.

The fire spread, burning everything, including the body of Fatty Huang Shan.

Rumble.

"Fire!" Someone spotted the flames, but they only shouted loudly and no one came to put out the fire.

Everyone in the neighborhood knows what kind of person Fatty Huang Shan is.

Not kicking someone when they're down is already the kindest thing to do.

And so, without timely intervention, the entire courtyard was reduced to ruins.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Hao had already gotten up.

He walked straight out of the house and ran towards Huang Shan's residence.

He needs to observe the subsequent developments so that he can handle the situation calmly.

"Someone's here, and they're red-named. It seems they're my enemies and have murderous intent towards me!" Xu Hao saw the group from afar and immediately hid in the shadows of a building.

These people are members of the Catfish Gang.

The leader was also Huang Shan's brother-in-law, Qian Butong, the head of the Catfish Gang.

In Xu Hao's view, Qian Butong's information was clearly revealed.

Qian Butong, a first-tier martial artist, has the following stats: Strength 10, Stamina 10, Agility 9, Spirit 6.

Technique: Catfish Twist (Mastered), Trait: Strength +3, Speed ​​+1 during execution.

This attribute is extremely poor.

Xu Hao hid in a corner, watching warily.

Qian Butong stared at the steaming ruins, his face grim, and said, "Damn it, go check the situation!"

The other members of the Catfish Gang went into the ruins and quickly dragged out three corpses.

Among them was Fatty Huang Shan.

Qian Butong's gaze lingered on Huang Shan's corpse, her face grim. "Who did this??"

"Master, could it be the Fire Dragon Gang?" a member of the Catfish Gang suggested.

"The Fire Dragon Gang has gone too far! Let's go, inform the gang leader, this grudge will be avenged!"

Xu Hao watched Qian Butong's retreating figure, his heart heavy.

Fatty Huang Shan actually has a brother-in-law who is now in dire straits.

"It seems they won't suspect me for a while, but once the conflict between the Fire Dragon Gang and the Catfish Gang ends and the Catfish Gang has some free time, they will definitely suspect me. If it were me, I would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, feeling a sense of urgency.

If someone who has learned martial arts can kill Huang Shan, then there are many suspicious points.

The leaders of the Catfish Gang are all low-level martial artists. Even if they were to kill a few people indiscriminately, I'm afraid no one would speak up for them.

Then we have no choice but to strike first.

Xu Hao took a deep breath, turned around, and returned to his residence in the eastern suburbs.

At this moment, Xu Liushi was already mending clothes in the courtyard.

"You went out?" Xu Liushi stood up with concern. "I'll make you breakfast right away!"

"No need, Mother!" Xu Hao took out some loose silver and said, "This is five taels of silver. If anyone comes to collect taxes, give it to them!"

"Where did you get the money? Did you steal or rob it?" Xu Liu's face darkened.

Although they were from poor families, they knew what they should and shouldn't do.

"Mom, what are you thinking? I borrowed this from my senior brother at the martial arts school yesterday!" Xu Hao explained with a smile.

"Then you must treat that senior brother well. In this day and age, being able to lend you five taels of silver is extremely kind!" Xu Liushi quickly believed her and even instructed Xu Hao to repay him properly.

"Don't worry!" Xu Hao nodded, then said, "I'll be training at the martial arts gym for a while, so take good care of yourself and don't skimp on anything!"

"Just take good care of yourself, I don't need your help!"

Xu Hao left the courtyard and returned to the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

Xu Hao then devoted himself to his training and rested on the large dormitory bed in the martial arts hall.

The next day, early morning!

As soon as Xu Hao got up from the dormitory, he noticed that the people in the outer courtyard of the martial arts school had become energetic and excited.

Many people rushed towards the training ground.

"What's going on? Is there some good news?" Xu Hao pondered for a moment, then hurried to the outer school field.

In the outer courtyard, a large pot was already standing, steaming and filled with the aroma of medicine.

When Xu Hao arrived at the outer school's training ground, he saw that everyone else was staring at him with burning eyes, as if they wanted to fall headfirst into the ground.

"Line up, everyone come and get your skin-refining ointment!" Chen Yinyin stood next to the huge iron pot, hands on her hips, looking very serious.

The other students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department dared not cause any trouble and lined up in an orderly fashion.

Xu Hao also hurried up.

He had heard of the skin-refining ointment before, but he didn't have any money at the time, so he didn't inquire about it much. He never expected that it would be sent for free now.

A martial artist enters a realm where there are four breakthroughs: skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs.

Each attempt is extremely difficult. If one fails to break through to the next level, it will damage the body, greatly hindering subsequent cultivation and even causing permanent stagnation.

Therefore, having cultivation resources to nourish the body is extremely beneficial.

No wonder everyone was extremely excited.

The group moved forward, and soon it was Xu Hao's turn.

Chen Yinyin noticed Xu Hao's gaze was fixed on the iron pot. She smiled and explained, "The Skin-Refining Ointment is a secret medicine my father specially formulated for practicing the Fierce Tiger Fist. It's impossible to buy outside. You can use it once a week. If you want to continue using it, you'll need to pay. It costs two taels of silver per dose!"

Xu Hao sighed inwardly.

That is to say, he has a game panel. If it were someone else, without specially made cultivation medicine, they would probably be completely defeated when trying to break through the realm!

If the attempt to break the mirror fails, then it's all for naught!

No wonder the master of the martial arts school, Chen Changhe, directly imparted all the techniques of breaking the Fierce Tiger Fist.

Even when giving advice, he only told people not to spread the Fierce Tiger Fist, without any particularly severe punishment.

It seems that without the corresponding secret medicine, even if the secret were passed on, it would be difficult to achieve anything significant.

"How do I use this?" Xu Hao asked earnestly, regaining his composure.

Chen Yinyin smiled and said, "Applying the ointment externally to your body, and then continuing your usual cultivation, will accelerate your cultivation speed and allow you to break through to the next realm sooner!"

"Thank you!" Xu Hao took the skin-refining ointment and headed to the changing room next door.

After taking off his coat, Xu Hao applied lotion all over his body and then quickly went to the training ground.

Boom boom boom.

Xu Hao practices the Fierce Tiger Fist.

As Xu Hao continued practicing his boxing techniques, he suddenly felt his entire body's skin burning.

It looked as if it had been smeared with chili water.

After performing a set of punches, Xu Hao was drenched in sweat.

Tiger Fist Proficiency +2

[Body Tempering +3]

"The speed at which fist technique proficiency increases has doubled, and the body tempering effect has tripled! No wonder it's a secret medicine!"

Xu Hao gritted his teeth, enduring the burning pain, and continued practicing the Fierce Tiger Fist.

Previously, it would take him one or two months to reach the first breakthrough realm, but now with the secret medicine, he might be able to achieve it within a month.

On the training ground, many people cried out in pain, and even their punches became distorted.

Only a few people were able to retain their original appearance, including Xu Hao.

Because this is a fixed data set in the game panel.

Beginner level is beginner level; you won't play too badly.
