I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"What's going on?" Chen Changhe and the others couldn't help but look up.

Immediately afterwards, fireworks rose in the direction of Qinghe County.

That's a signal to retreat!

Whoosh whoosh.

Just then, countless arrows flew down from the sky.

"Not good, there's an ambush! It's military crossbows! Retreat!" Chen Changhe felt the sharp arrows in the sky and immediately stopped his pursuit.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heshan and the others were shocked and quickly retreated.

Military crossbows, which have a powerful armor-piercing effect.

Ordinary arrows are not very lethal to warriors, but military arrows are.

Once hit by an arrow, the body will not be able to withstand it.

Xu Hao hesitated for a moment, then decided not to continue the pursuit.

The fourth-stage warriors were almost completely wiped out, and the third-stage warriors were also left without exception.

There were still some martial artists left, but they were all low-level and stayed on the edge of the battlefield.

If we pursue them now, we will have already lost the initiative.

Moreover, although he is powerful now, it is unlikely that he can single-handedly break through the entire Changsheng Sect's ranks.

Moreover, the Longevity Sect must also have experts at the Strength Realm.

He can protect himself against a master of the Strength Realm, but that's not what he wants.

What if we encounter multiple experts at the Strength Realm?

Therefore, one should first raise one's own cultivation to the fourth level of breakthrough before considering anything else.

Xu Hao immediately retreated, following Chen Changhe and the others as they withdrew from the outer city of Qinghe County.

This time, he gained a lot of experience points and leveled up considerably.

He also needs to go back and add more points, and then try to break through to the fourth level of Body Tempering.

Only by increasing our strength can we protect ourselves in the battles to come.

The only pity was that time was of the essence, and he did not get to touch the corpse.

"However, my wealth won't escape me; I'll just slaughter those Changsheng Cult villains again when the time comes!"

Xu Hao took a deep look at the Changsheng Sect's army formation that was charging towards him, and then quickly retreated.

crunch.

The city gate opened, and Xu Hao and the others retreated back to the city wall before closing the gate tightly.

Outside the eastern suburbs, the evil followers of the Longevity Cult lurked in a dense, oppressive atmosphere.

Their ranks were more orderly, like an army.

"The dynasty has fallen so low that it has even sold the military's most powerful weapon to the Eternal Life Cult!" Zhao Heshan said with a gloomy expression.

The crossbows they used to kill the Changsheng Sect were only of medium quality, but even that required approval from the local government at every level.

Now look what's happened.

The Changsheng Sect directly obtained military-grade crossbows that were only permitted to be used by the military.

Complaining is useless; things have come to this point, so we should think about how to deal with it.

"This is troublesome. I originally planned to send my family away first, but I didn't expect the Longevity Sect to be even more powerful than we imagined!" Chen Changhe took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the family procession that had already prepared carriages and horses, and couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Hao glanced behind him, then looked at the dark mass of the Changsheng Sect troops outside the city wall. He stood on the city wall for a moment, and after confirming that the Changsheng Sect would not attack the city in the short term, he immediately turned around and walked to a corner of the city wall.

Xu Hao opened his personal attributes panel.

"Not bad, you've leveled up thirteen times!" Xu Hao smiled.

He acknowledged this achievement.

Moreover, with these thirteen free attribute points, he will surely break through to the fourth level of Body Tempering without any loss.

If the attributes of a fourth-level martial artist are added, then his basic attributes can reach the state of energy cultivation in the Strength Realm!

In this way, if Xu Hao were to circulate his internal energy again, he could become even stronger than someone at the Qi Li realm.

Fighting against opponents of higher levels is not a problem.

"Finally, I can face experts at the Strength Realm with ease!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath and immediately began adding points.

All thirteen free attribute points were allocated to the Spirit attribute.

hum.

Almost instantly, a flash of light seemed to explode in Xu Hao's mind.

It was like a sudden realization, or a flash of inspiration.

At that moment, Xu Hao felt that his spirit and soul had been cleansed.

The initial gloomy feeling dissipated, but after my mental state reached 32 points, I felt much more relaxed.

An unprecedented coolness.

His breathing quickly calmed down.

Xu Hao opened his eyes.

His eyes grew increasingly deep, as if trying to see through the very essence of time.

Not only does the field of vision become clearer, but the senses also become much more transparent.

The flow of energy that I didn't understand before has now become clear.

"Indeed, a mental boost really does make you feel refreshed!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath, feeling better than ever before!

Even the slightest fatigue from the previous battle vanished completely.

"This is only the surface effect; I wonder if there are any other effects!" Xu Hao composed himself and immediately took out the martial arts school's medicinal powder and Five Visceral Pills.

At the same time, just in case, Xu Hao also took out some medicinal herbs to increase qi and blood.

Xu Hao took off his robe, evenly applied the medicinal powder to his body, and then put his robe back on.

Finally, he fed him a variety of cultivation resources all at once.

A surge of immense energy instantly filled my entire body.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hao began practicing the Fierce Tiger Fist, as well as the cultivation method and breathing rhythm of the Four Breaking Techniques.

Boom boom boom.

At this moment, Xu Hao felt that his control over energy had become more refined.

The finer details that were previously impossible to achieve are now more controllable.

As time went on, Xu Hao's boxing skills became increasingly refined.

Under deliberate guidance, the body's energy rapidly enters the body and dissolves into the internal organs.

The breath was rising rapidly.

Tiger Fist +29

[Body Tempering +23]

hum.

The moment the notification sound from the panel rang out, Xu Hao felt as if his entire body had reached a critical point.

boom.

As if some kind of constraint had been broken, or as if a windowpane had been pierced, streams of energy surged and dissipated into the body's internal organs.

The internal organs were strengthened and nourished to the extreme.

They all became more resilient and stronger.

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Every organ is being strengthened, and then the effects are being coordinated.

Blood boils.

This is a unique characteristic of a martial artist who has broken through the fourth level of Body Tempering.

Qi and blood are like a furnace.

You have broken through to the fourth stage of Body Tempering!

You have received attribute bonuses: Strength +10, Stamina +10, Agility +10, Spirit +3.

hum.

Streams of energy surged and instantly landed on various parts of Xu Hao's body.

Normally, breaking through cultivation levels requires a certain amount of time to consolidate and allow the body's energy to fully integrate with the body.

This will take an extremely long time.

However, Xu Hao is different; he possesses a game panel, the biggest advantage of which is data visualization.

Once the data is confirmed, his body will reach the corresponding level and result.

For example, right now, after allocating his attribute points, Xu Hao felt a sense of harmony and power throughout his body.

Body Tempering Fourth Breakthrough Achieved!
