32: This is real mass exploitation; the leaderboard domination has begun.

[Do you know why the plot is so disjointed? Why? Huh? Back to me...]

Suddenly,

The door opened with a "creak."

He fixed his gaze, and instantly lost his composure.

This was a beauty of a different style.

The woman was tall, with straight shoulders, and though she appeared shy, she exuded an air of elegance and aloofness.

Like a thorny rose, its petals were soft, its stem hard, rooted in its own territory, accepting admiration but refusing to be plucked.

Huang Chen swallowed. This mature, dominant style was definitely a man-killer.

Xie Chunyan's mental preparation nearly collapsed on the spot.

However, she quickly adjusted.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had been taught that if a fact could not be changed, she must accept it calmly and find what was advantageous to her within it.

[Ding!]

[Detected a beauty meeting the criteria. View detailed information?]

“View.”

Shortly after she entered, the 9-person mission was perfectly completed when the last person, named Huang Mengni, was selected.

[Activating Dual Bond:

The percentages are comparable; this is much greater than a numerical increase, as it scales higher with character growth.

Huang Chen had just gained over 400,000 experience in that wave in the mine, bringing his level directly to 25.

Coupled with the Potential contributions from All the women, his currently available Potential Points reached 330.

Without a second thought, he immediately put all the Potential Points into Physique, bringing his Physique stat to 746 points.

His Health Value was 14,920, and with the 45% bonus from the Lotus Halo, his Health Value immediately reached 21,634.

Now, when tanking monsters, he wouldn't have to worry about being instantly killed.

Everything was ready. Huang Chen waved his hand, and the 12 people appeared beside the stairs leading into the first hall of the mine.

The five people, including Xie Chunyan, who had never flown before, all showed expressions of shock.

After landing, Huang Chen immediately took Xie Chunyan to kill two zombies, raising her directly to Level 10.

After all, she was only Level 2, and under the Life Link, she might die the moment she appeared.

“Did you all put your extra potential into Stamina?” Huang Chen confirmed with everyone before entering.

If even one of these 'flowers' died, he would be heartbroken for a long time.

Seeing everyone nod, Huang Chen continued, “If you level up later, put all your potential into Physique.

You can reset your stats when we reach the Main City, but for now, prioritize survival.”

After speaking, Huang Chen swallowed a Nine Revolutions Pill and led the way onto the stairs leading to the hall.

“Whoosh~”

“Roar~”

As soon as they reached the entrance, the roar of zombies and the sound of flying skills immediately echoed in their ears.

“Sky Full of Flower Rain!”

Huang Chen roared. Boosted by the Brilliant Halo, he cleared a wave of monsters every three to four seconds.

But there were so many zombies in the hall, wave after wave surged forward, accompanied by a torrent of skills.

Huang Chen dared not wait for the exact cooldown of the Nine Revolutions Pill and essentially took one every ten seconds.

Meanwhile, the water-attributed women behind him were constantly using Universal Salvation to heal Huang Chen.

With flying flowers everywhere and countless monster hordes, the scene was incredibly spectacular.

Because Sky Full of Flower Rain had a continuous poisoning effect, some ghouls that had been hit once or twice and tried to leave were squeezed in place, struggling and howling, with poison damage numbers constantly popping up above their heads.

Immediately afterward, All the women noticed that the notifications for gaining experience were spamming the screen.

One ghoul granted 24,500 experience, which, divided among 12 people, was 2,040 points each.

Averaging 30 monsters per wave every 5 seconds, each person gained 730,000 experience per minute.

This number was terrifying.

Considering Bai Zhaoning, she was Level 26, requiring only 180,000 experience to level up, and 1.4 million experience to reach Level 30.

It would only take two minutes... In the 996 Trial Ground, Feng Wu plunged her sword into the neck of a White-Browed Tiger before turning and charging toward another heavily injured White-Browed Tiger.

She glanced at her experience value: 362542/383376, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

She was only 20,000 experience away from Level 30. Ten minutes ago, she had glanced at the leaderboard.

The Huaxia Clan still had no one on the list, which greatly reassured her.

She was determined to help the Vermilion Bird Clan secure the top spot this time.

After all, given their high martial arts foundation, obtaining the top spot would grant the entire clan +50 bone structure points.

And she herself would receive a bonus of 100 bone structure points.

This was definitely a huge boost for their clan.

In fact, before entering the Star Abyss, she had already learned some details about the Star Abyss through clan literature.

They were Descendants of the Vermilion Bird, with innate base attributes exceeding 1000 and 150 bone structure points, but because their starting point was so high, their comprehension was extremely low. Trying to increase their bone structure by improving skill realms was simply a pipe dream.

Just as she stabbed the heavily injured White-Browed Tiger that her clansmen had weakened,

A gigantic light screen reappeared in the sky.

[Congratulations to Huaxia Clan XX for being the first to reach Level 30.]

[Reward: Huaxia Clan entire clan bone structure +5]

[Reward: XX bone structure +10]

[Announcement: World Chat Channel activated.]

“Impossible!”

Feng Wu's eyes widened. Eleven names on the leaderboard were rapidly ascending.

Her name had already dropped to third,

In just an instant, the second place Huaxia Clan XX's level jumped from 29 to 30.

“No!”

Feng Wu roared in fury, and her entire body burst into raging flames.
