I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Upon seeing the shimmering halo, Xu Hao immediately looked up.

grey!

However, there is also some white mixed in with the gray.

In other words, this grayish-white color represents his aptitude level.

In layman's terms, gray and white indicate above-average quality.

"My cultivation level has increased, and my attributes have improved so much, yet this is the only improvement? Only above average?" Xu Hao was somewhat disappointed.

With so many attribute increases, he thought it would greatly improve his situation, but it seems that it hasn't improved much at all.

Previously, Sikong Mou said that to join the Five Animals Sect, one needed a white-grade qualification.

With these current, above-average qualifications, I wonder if I'll be hired.

If he cannot be hired, he will have to settle for a menial job.

However, if one were to work as a menial laborer, the time and effort required to acquire the Qi-strength Realm cultivation technique would increase exponentially.

"I wonder if Qin Feixue's recommendation plaque can guarantee my entry into the sect!" Xu Hao sighed, turning to look at the recorder beside him, wondering whether he should write down his achievement of defeating someone at the Strength Realm.

But he quickly shook his head.

Whether others believe it or not is unknown, but if someone does believe it, it could become a problem.

"Forget it, let nature take its course. I only need the cultivation technique. If all else fails, I'll just buy it on the black market!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath, made a quick plan, and then stepped off the testing platform.

"Your information has been written down. The results will be posted at the mountain gate in three days. You can check it yourself then!" The Five Animals Sect disciple in charge of writing the information glanced at Xu Hao's file and then added, "Also, three days later is the day for recruiting handymen, so don't forget!"

Clearly, although he saw that Xu Hao was recommended by Qin Feixue, an elite outer disciple, his grayish-white above-average aptitude did not meet the threshold for outer disciples of the Five Animals Sect.

He felt that Xu Hao was very likely to have no chance.

Xu Hao also noticed the meaning behind the disciple's words, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The qualifications are there, and they can't be changed in a short time.

Unless he can add more points, or refine extremely powerful rare and precious materials.

Otherwise, one's inherent nature cannot be changed!

Xu Hao stood watching for a while longer before turning and leaving.

There were many other people around, just like Xu Hao, whose faces were filled with resentment because they had not reached the top-grade white quality.

"Fine, being a menial servant isn't a hopeless situation!"

"Yes, Huang Senyu, one of the menial servants last year, successfully entered the inner sect by transforming his Qi and Blood into Internal Strength. We're not without a chance!"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Xu Hao sighed helplessly.

If you lack the necessary qualifications, this is likely the outcome, just like Chen Changhe.

Fortunately, he still had the game panel; otherwise, he would have had a hard time even surviving.

"Once I get the cultivation technique, I'll have the world at my fingertips! A little hardship is better than nothing!" Xu Hao composed himself and strode away from the Five Animals Sect's mountain gate.

Upon returning to Shuangqing Prefecture, Xu Hao entered the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

"How is it?" Tang Dengshan greeted Xu Hao as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Immediately afterward, Chen Changhe and others arrived on horseback upon hearing the news.

"Not ideal. His qualifications are only above average, not meeting the Five Animals Sect's recruitment threshold!" Xu Hao said truthfully.

Chen Changhe sighed upon hearing this.

He had also assessed Xu Hao's aptitude and estimated it to be only at a medium level.

However, as Xu Hao cultivated, his extremely fast cultivation speed and overwhelming combat power made him realize that his bone reading back then was wrong and inaccurate.

Unexpectedly, there weren't many miracles.

"It's alright!" Chen Changhe reassured him, then continued, "You've received Qin Feixue's recommendation. Given the Qin family's status within the Five Animals Sect, they should be able to specially recruit you!"

The reason he wanted to curry favor with Sun Lianshan was because Sun Lianshan was an outer disciple, and his recommendation would have some effect.

Qin Feixue's recommendation was superior to Sun Lianshan's.

If Qin Feixue could report Xu Hao's combat strength, there might be a chance to make an exception.

"I hope so!" Xu Hao nodded, nonchalantly saying, "Even if I become a formal outer disciple of the Five Animals Sect, a menial job is fine. As long as I have cultivation techniques, I believe I can catch up!"

"Not bad, with your character, you're definitely not bad!" Chen Changhe nodded in approval.

"Yes, even if he's just a menial laborer, Brother Xu can rise to the top in a short time and then slap them in the face!" The others agreed.

They had been watching Xu Hao's cultivation path.

He entered the country in January, improved his cultivation in half a month, and reached the fourth level of Body Tempering in less than half a day.

Most importantly, Xu Hao's combat strength is unparalleled; he can defeat opponents in the Strength Realm while only at the Body Tempering Realm.

Based on this fighting strength alone, anyone would say it's a rumor if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

This is why, even after arriving in Shuangqing Prefecture, no one or any force has tried to win Xu Hao over.

It's not that they didn't reveal their unparalleled combat power, but without substantial evidence, everyone took it as a lie, just an attempt to boost their reputation.

"Thank you for your kind words!" Xu Hao laughed heartily.

He was pleased, after all, he was truly capable of doing it and meeting the standards.

The only downside is that it will take some time and incur some costs.

With over ten thousand taels of silver still in his pocket, doing a few sect missions is nothing to him.

For the rest of the time, Xu Hao stayed at the martial arts school with his mother, Xu Liushi, and also taught the school some Fierce Tiger Fist techniques.

Although Chen Changhe's martial arts school was located in the inner city and the tuition fees were not high, not many people came to learn.

There are even some people openly and secretly trying to undermine the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

If Chen Changhe hadn't been a servant in the Five Animals Sect and had some connections, he probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to open a martial arts school.

The days passed by uneventfully.

During this period, information about the disciples who joined the Five Animals Sect to save their lives was first transmitted to Xiong Feng.

The Five Animals Sect is divided into six peaks: bear, tiger, deer, monkey, and crane.

There is also a main peak.

Each peak has its own unique power-enhancing techniques.

The main peak is the unified force that governs the five animals, the force of the five animals.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Five Animals Sect was a major sect, but due to the passage of time, the number of disciples in the sect has dwindled, resulting in very few people being able to combine the power of the Five Animals.

Even the current peak master has only fused three kinds of energy.

Even so, the sect leader of the Five Animals Sect was one of the strongest figures in the entire dynasty.

Apart from the main peak, the Five Animals Mountain now has Xiong Peak as its most prestigious peak, which is quite powerful.

Therefore, Xiong Feng should be the primary person in charge of recruiting apprentices this time, and he should be the first to be selected.

The leader of Xiongfeng Peak was a burly man, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, as tall as a wild bear.

Just standing there, he exudes a fierce aura.

"Peak Master, this is the information for this year's disciple recruitment. How many people do you think we should recruit this year?" A powerful figure from Xiong Peak handed a stack of documents to the Peak Master.

"Let me see!" Peak Master Xiong Feng took the documents and immediately noticed the information on the first page.

Sikong Mou!
