I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Xu Hao lowered his head and followed closely behind Chen Changhe, slowly walking out of the luxurious room.

Chen Changhe remained silent until he and Xu Hao left Zuixianlou and walked on the street, at which point he finally showed signs of life.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this!" Chen Changhe said with a hint of apology.

His original intention was to have Xu Hao befriend the Five Animals Sect and take Xu Hao on a shortcut.

But no one wanted to take a liking to him!

Most importantly, he thought he had a relationship and a connection, but in the end, it was worthless, and he even lost face in front of his own apprentice.

"It's alright. Didn't Master say you have a letter of recommendation? I can directly enter the Five Animals Sect in the future. With my strength and cultivation, it won't be difficult for me to join!" Xu Hao said calmly.

He's just an outer disciple.

He might be willing to make friends with them, but if not, he wouldn't stoop to their level to curry favor.

The Five Animals Sect is right there. As long as you have reached the fourth level of Body Tempering and have some letters of recommendation, you can join as a menial disciple.

Once he transforms his Qi and blood into internal strength and reaches the Jinli realm within the prescribed time limit, he can become an outer disciple.

For Xu Hao, this level of difficulty was merely a formality.

"That's good, you have to rely on yourself in everything!" Chen Changhe nodded, agreeing with Xu Hao's opinion.

The two chatted as they made their way to the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

Soon, Chen Changhe summoned Tang Dengshan, Zhao Heshan, and others.

"Is there anything else you need, Master?" Zhao Heshan asked.

"The Five Animal Sect has dispatched powerful experts to Qinghe County, but that doesn't mean the Longevity Sect won't attack the city!" Chen Changhe took a deep breath and continued, "We need to consider the worst-case scenario. Therefore, during today's banquet, I contacted some friends to prepare to send our families away on an appropriate day!"

"Huh?" Zhao Heshan and the others were taken aback. "Even with a Qi Realm expert present, it can't be avoided?"

"The Five Animal Sect has experts at the Strength Realm, and the Longevity Sect is no exception. Moreover, I have received information that the Longevity Sect's attack this time covers a very wide area, and it may affect the entire area under the jurisdiction of Shuangqing Prefecture."

We can't put all our eggs in one basket. Besides, in a crisis, a master at the Strength Realm might be able to escape, but we might not!

"We'll leave it all to Master's arrangements!" Zhao Heshan and Xu Hao exchanged glances and quickly clasped their hands in a salute.

"Okay, go back and remind everyone to prepare for the evacuation!" Chen Changhe then mentioned some other matters of concern before letting Xu Hao and the others leave.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Heshan and Tang Dengshan took their leave.

Xu Hao arrived at the Intermediate Court, told his mother, Xu Liushi, and placed some silver notes in her hand.

"I don't need that many!" Xu Liushi refused.

"Mother, just take it. When you go to Shuangqing Prefecture, you'll need money for many things!" Xu Hao comforted her.

"And what about you?" Xu Liu asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, I'll be right there. And don't worry about me. With my current cultivation and strength, I'm not the best in Qinghe County, but at least no one can do anything to me!" Xu Hao gave Xu Liu a reassuring smile.

"Good!" Seeing Xu Hao's calmness and confidence, Madam Xu did not try to persuade him.

As a woman, all her thoughts were on Xu Hao, and she was willing to follow his arrangements.

In the time that followed, Xu Hao waited while practicing his Swift Wind Step and Draw Sword Slash.

Having more skills is a good thing.

A few days later, Xu Hao's body trembled as a notification sound appeared before his eyes.

[Your Wind Walk has reached its maximum potential, gaining the ability, Wind Walk!]

[Swift Wind, your speed is as fast as the wind! Temporary speed increase of 100%!]

"What?" Xu Hao was stunned for a moment when he saw the information presented.

Temporary speed increase of 100%?

Is this what it means to have the ultimate characteristics?

Generally speaking, when a skill reaches perfection, it is almost the pinnacle of a person's abilities.

However, because Xu Hao has a game panel, he can surpass perfection and reach the ultimate level.

Xu Hao knew that both cultivation techniques and skills had unique characteristics that would be manifested in the form of a game.

But this double blessing truly makes it worthy of the name "Swift Step".

If the ultimate form of Swift Step has such characteristics, then what about Fierce Tiger Fist?

What about a draw sword slash?

Xu Hao glanced at the sword-drawing slash, which was also about to reach its peak, and then he focused all his energy on training.

Pfft, pfft.

With a long sword in hand, he continuously drew it out and slashed.

One cut, two cuts.

Xu Hao practiced and swung his sword repeatedly.

This selfless dedication to training has inspired many members of the martial arts school.

They also practiced even more diligently.

The recent situation in Qinghe County has caused many people to devote themselves to cultivation, hoping to survive the upcoming attacks.

boom.

A few days later, Xu Hao drew his last sword and brought it down, his body shuddering once more.

A long-awaited notification sound appeared.

Xu Hao quickly checked.

[Your sword-drawing slash skill has reached its pinnacle, granting you the unique ability to become indestructible!]

[Unbreakable, your strikes are unstoppable. Creatures weaker than you cannot withstand your blows; their defenses will be breached, their armor shattered, and they will be knocked back!]

Xu Hao stared wide-eyed at the characteristics he gained from mastering the Draw Sword Technique.

It's surprising that we've acquired such a characteristic.

This feature is simply unbeatable.

Creatures weaker than him will be completely suppressed by this characteristic.

In other words, as long as the knife in his hand is sharp enough, any creature weaker than him will find it difficult to withstand a single strike from him.

"Cool!"

Xu Hao was overjoyed.

With this characteristic, if the Longevity Cult were to attack the city again, he would have the confidence to hunt down the evil members of the Longevity Cult.

Even the villains of the Longevity Cult, though they possess some level of cultivation, would tire themselves out if they were pigs, their blades would dull, and their stamina would be depleted by too many strikes.

But with this indestructible characteristic, it will be much easier for him to kill.

"I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience the unique abilities of this ultimate skill!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath, stopping his wild thoughts, and then practiced his swordsmanship and Swift Wind Step on the training ground of the Central Academy to adapt to the increased intensity.

In the following period, Xu Hao practiced his boxing skills intermittently, and spent the rest of his time with his mother.

boom.

A few days later, a loud roar shattered the tranquility of the entire Qinghe County.

"The Eternal Life Cult has attacked the city!"

Fierce roars echoed outside the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

Immediately afterwards, the county government bells rang throughout Qinghe County.

"Quick, to the city wall!"

A cacophony of noise erupted, followed by groups of people marching onto the city wall.

With a powerful expert from the Five Animals Sect in charge, four experts from Qinghe County had long been stationed on the four city walls.

As for the other powerful individuals, they were also assigned tasks.

For example, Xu Hao, because he was registered with the government office, already had a designated area to be stationed in.

"Mother, when the time is right, you should listen to Senior Brother Tang's arrangements!"
