What I did:

I think your software doesn't produce as good of results as mine does. If you are generating results like this from primarily auto-levels and contrast adjustment, you're going to have a hard time enhancing the luminance levels. When the results are pixelized to that degree, I recommend reducing the work area (like I did) so that you don't have to exagerate the differences between so many pixels. Iv'e included a more basic example of what my software does when using just basic functions, along with the results of your auto-levels and contrast.
I went a slightly different route:
Polygon Lasso tool (focused on a more limited area) -> Contrast +50 -> Hue -20 -> Manual levels, darkened mid-range 30% -> Brightened +25, did not underline anything, did not run any additional enhancement tools I normally do.
