I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"Let me introduce you. This is my new friend, Xu Hao, who is now an outer disciple of Crane Peak!" Sikong Mou quickly said, pulling himself to the front.

"My name is Xu Hao, and I come from Qinghe County!" Xu Hao stated his identity.

Sikong Mou pointed to the nearest young man in a white robe with long, slender arms and introduced him to Xu Hao, "This is Fang Yuan, the seventh son of the Fang family of Shuangqing Prefecture, and an outer disciple of the Ape Peak of the Five Animal Sect!"

"Hello!" Xu Hao nodded and clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.

"Hmm!" Fang Yuan, with his long arms, nodded calmly.

His demeanor was neither friendly nor distant.

Without pausing, Sikong Mou pointed to a burly, broad-shouldered young man and continued, "This is Zhou Qinshan, a disciple of the Salt Gang. He is currently cultivating at Tiger Peak of the Five Animals Sect and has also practiced the Fierce Tiger Fist. Brother Xu, you can spar with him sometime!"

"Hello!" Xu Hao said with a smile.

"Since we both practice the Fierce Tiger Fist, we can spar and prove ourselves against each other!" Zhou Qinshan chuckled.

He has a straightforward personality and says what he thinks.

Sikong Mou stepped past one person and continued his introduction.

Some people are friendly and will respond to Xu Hao, while others are more arrogant and will just nod indifferently.

Overall, there were no people who were obviously looked down upon.

That makes sense, as Sikong Mou was a kind person, and the friends he made were naturally not the kind of people who were arrogant and haughty.

Next, the two sides talked about some trivial matters, mostly focusing on the Five Animals Sect.

Then everyone toasted and drank, creating a lively atmosphere.

After a hearty meal, Xu Hao did not join the others in going to the brothel to listen to music, but instead took his leave in advance.

He needed to share the good news with his relatives and friends that he had become an outer disciple of the Five Animals Sect.

Moreover, he had to prepare for entering the Five Animals Sect.

"Let's get together more often in the future!" Sikong Mou said finally.

"Definitely!" Xu Hao nodded, clasped his hands in a salute to everyone, and then strode off.

"Brother Sikong, what special skills does he have that made you recommend him to our gathering?" Long-armed Fang Yuan asked, staring at Xu Hao's departing figure.

"He was recommended by Qin Feixue, and even though his aptitude wasn't quite top-grade, he was still accepted into Crane Peak!" Sikong Mou said with a smile.

"The Qin family, Qin Feixue?? That arrogant Qin Feixue actually recommended him, and even made an exception for him?" Zhou Qinshan, standing to the side, revealed a strange expression.

"Yes, but being favored by Qin Feixue isn't necessarily a good thing. There will probably be some competition in the future!" Sikong Mou said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Sikong, are you planning something?"

Outside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Xu Hao was unaware of Sikong Mou's conversation. After leaving, he headed straight for the newly opened Chen Family Martial Arts School in Shuangqing Prefecture.

The area in front of the martial arts school was deserted.

Even though the price of martial arts training is not high, it is not very attractive.

As Xu Hao entered the martial arts school, Tang Dengshan spotted him immediately and rushed over to greet him, asking with concern, "Brother Xu, how are you?"

"I'm not very talented, but I've joined the Five Animals Sect!" Xu Hao said with a smile.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Tang Dengshan hurriedly offered his congratulations, while simultaneously shouting loudly towards the rear courtyard, "Master, Junior Brother Xu has entered! He's entered the Five Animals Sect!"

Soon after, people arrived at the central and rear courtyards of the martial arts school.

Mother Xu Liushi, the owner of the museum Chen Changhe, and Chen Yinyin all walked over quickly.

"You got in? Who are you affiliated with?" Chen Changhe asked first.

Because he knew that the Five Animals Sect had strict recruitment standards, and basically no one would be recruited into the outer sect unless they had a superior aptitude.

In addition, since Xu Hao had already inquired about the situation of the handymen, he subconsciously felt that Xu Hao had obtained the handymen's position.

"I've entered the outer gate!" Xu Hao said with a smile, revealing his identity.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, even his mother, Xu Liushi, looked surprised.

Because she had heard a lot about the Five Animals Sect during this period of time.

In her eyes, the Five Animals Sect was a behemoth, and joining it would bring glory to her ancestors.

Unexpectedly, I've now risen to a higher level than a menial servant!

"That's great, congratulations!" Chen Changhe, recovering from his shock, quickly said, "Was it Qin Feixue who played a role in this?"

Xu Hao nodded.

He made the same guess.

Because apart from Qin Feixue's involvement, he really couldn't think of any other reason why the Five Animals Sect would recruit him.

After all, he wanted to participate in the activities, but he couldn't even find a way to do so.

"Then you must repay them properly in the future!" Chen Changhe said earnestly.

This is a huge favor.

The status of an outer disciple of the Five Animals Sect is something countless people desire.

But just one qualification is enough to trap 99% of the people.

"I understand!" Xu Hao nodded.

"Junior Brother Xu is treating!" Chen Yinyin exclaimed happily from the side.

"Okay, it's on me." Xu Hao waved his hand and made the decision immediately.

It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.

Soon, Tang Dengshan went to make the arrangements.

They invited the restaurant's chefs and bought a lot of delicacies to celebrate Xu Hao's success.

Not many people were invited.

That is, some acquaintances in Qinghe County.

"Junior Brother Xu, you are truly amazing. You were like this in Qinghe County, and you are still like this in the much larger Shuangqing Prefecture. I admire you!" Zhao Heshan said with admiration at the banquet.

He entered the Chen Family Martial Arts School before Xu Hao, and his cultivation level was also higher.

But in terms of achievements, he can't even come close.

After clinking glasses, Xu Hao encouraged him, "I believe Senior Brother Zhao will definitely succeed next year too!"

"Then I'll accept your kind words!" Zhao Heshan said casually, downing the drink in one gulp.

Next, everyone was on good terms, but most of the conversation revolved around Xu Hao.

Some even said that once they met the requirements for a menial servant in the Five Animals Sect, they would come to serve under Xu Hao.

Xu Hao agreed to each of them.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

"Drink less, look how drunk you are!" Mother Xu Liu said with a hint of reproach, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Xu Hao said with a smile.

This level of alcohol tolerance is no challenge for him at all.

After washing up and returning to his room, he lay down and fell asleep.

Tomorrow, he will head to the Five Animals Sect.

Silent all night.

The next day, he got up early, washed up, put on his neat robes, and went out of his room.

In the courtyard, Xu Hao's mother, Xu Liushi, had already gotten up and prepared a change of clothes for him.

Xu Hao didn't mention that his backpack contained food and various utensils. He picked up Xu Liushi's package and then walked out of the backyard.

"Take care on your journey!" Chen Changhe, Chen Yinyin, and Tang Dengshan had been waiting at the Central Court for a long time. When they saw Xu Hao walk out, they immediately offered their blessings.

"While I am away, I hope that Master and fellow disciples will take good care of Mother!" Xu Hao returned the greeting with clasped hands.

"Go ahead without worry!" Chen Changhe, Chen Yinyin, and Tang Dengshan answered in unison.

"My son, take good care of yourself and be careful!"

Xu Hao nodded, bowed, and then strode off toward the Five Animals Sect.

What followed was the starting point of his meteoric rise.
