87: The cult leader appeared

Lan Ling did not immediately respond to Tie Shengnan, only lowering her head to repeatedly confirm the extra 197 Potential Points displayed on her panel.

It wasn't until she had allocated all the potential that she confirmed everything wasn't a dream.

"C-Commander!!"

Lan Ling swallowed hard, calming her excited emotions.

Last night, she had indeed received a prompt about establishing a bond with Huang Chen or something similar.

But at the time, she was so thoroughly aroused that she later forgot about the whole matter.

Only now, upon receiving the potential reward, did she truly wake up from a dream.

Tie Shengnan noticed Lan Ling seemed slightly off and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine!" Lan Ling shook her head, looking vaguely toward Huang Chen, who was continuously throwing Raging Thunder into the monster horde in the distance. She muttered to herself, "Huang Chen just leveled up!"

Tie Shengnan nodded and said, "I saw his level-up white light too, but look, he still shows Level 25.

Obviously, some equipment must be concealing it!

I seriously suspect that the Level 45 person on the leaderboard is him!

Are you distracted just because he leveled up?"

Lan Ling shook her head, but immediately nodded afterward.

Tie Shengnan frowned. Lan Ling's reaction was extremely abnormal. She asked directly, "What is going on with you? Shaking your head then nodding! We've been friends for so many years; is there anything you can't tell me directly?"

"Captain..."

Lan Ling paused, collected her thoughts for a moment, and said with a trembling voice, "He leveled up! And received 197 Potential Points..."

Tie Shengnan nodded and said, "I know his bone structure is high. Didn't he mention it himself last time?"

"But..."

Lan Ling suddenly looked up, speaking haltingly, "But, because of last night... me and him... that... when he leveled up, I also received a reward of 197 Potential Points!"

"What?"

Tie Shengnan's eyes widened upon hearing this, her face filled with disbelief.

Leveling up and receiving potential can also reward others?

This was simply unheard of. If the person speaking hadn't been Lan Ling, she would definitely have slapped the speaker dead as a liar.

"It's true! I've already allocated the potential!"

Lan Ling finally calmed down and pointed at Xie Chunyan and the six women in the distance, saying, "They are only ten levels higher than us, but look at their HP. Losing over ten thousand is only about one-tenth of their bar, which means they must have at least over a hundred thousand HP.

We only have one or two hundred HP when fighting Monster Type.

And them?"

Tie Shengnan nodded thoughtfully.

Xie Chunyan and the others were about ten levels higher than them. Even if their Basic Skills broke through to the highest realm, their total Potential Points would only be around six or seven thousand.

However, one hundred thousand HP requires 5,000 potential points, and their attacks are also so high.

Therefore, the potential points of Chunyan and the others must be close to ten thousand.

Looking at herself, Level 34, she only had 3,201 potential.

If cultivating with Huang Chen could grant them his potential points from leveling up, then everything made sense.

Thinking this, Tie Shengnan looked up at Huang Chen.

At this moment, Huang Chen was resisting countless Monster Types and outputting damage frantically, demonstrating the momentum of one man guarding the pass against ten thousand.

That figure was like a god descending to the mortal world.

Since arriving at Woma Third Level, she had been immersed in the excitement of leveling up and increasing skill proficiency.

She hadn't noticed this at all.

Furthermore, the most terrifying thing was Huang Chen, whose HP was conservatively estimated at 400,000.

"I'll go ask him once this is over."

Tie Shengnan said with a determined expression.

Regardless of whether her guess was true, given her agreement with Huang Chen, once this matter was resolved, it would be time for her to fulfill her promise.

Although she resisted men, compared to the matter of becoming stronger, what did this trivial thing matter?

...On the other side, because Huang Chen and Xie Chunyan and the others were outputting damage without pause, their skill proficiency was rapidly increasing, and the efficiency of killing monsters grew higher and higher.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Five hours passed.

In these five-plus hours, many members of the Iron Lady group had reached Level 20 Proficiency in their Basic Skills.

Their levels also increased significantly from around Level 30 to Level 36.

By this time, the Monster Types in front of Huang Chen had thinned out considerably.

In these five-plus hours, he had farmed seven or eight Cult Master's Guards, but the Woma Cult Master was nowhere to be seen.

And he didn't dare to directly enter the rectangular area below the Convex Shape.

After all, the Womens Army behind him couldn't withstand a large-scale charge from the Monster Types; he had to block the entrance.

He glanced at the women beside him. Because they had been continuously farming monsters above their level for several hours, the women's skill proficiency had increased significantly.

The efficiency of farming monsters had nearly doubled compared to the start.

Huang Chen thought for a moment. The most important objective this time was to obtain the horn.

But the Woma Cult Master was somewhere in the vast sea of monsters, and if they only farmed here, they definitely wouldn't find him.

Now that the six women's attacks were strong enough, perhaps he could let them block the entrance while he entered the monster horde to search for the Woma Cult Master.

He had just reached Level 45, and he could gather seven pieces of the womo set in his inventory.

Huang Chen immediately put them on. The seven pieces of womo equipment were the helmet, armor, shoes, bracers, belt, and pendant.

Each piece of equipment increased his HP by between fifteen thousand and twenty thousand, directly adding around 100,000 HP to him.

Plus the potential points added by the equipment.

Under the Lotus Halo, his HP directly broke the 500,000 mark, so safety should not be a concern.

Actions speak louder than words!

Huang Chen immediately signaled the women to reposition. He stood behind them and observed for half a minute.

Seeing that the women could hold their ground, Huang Chen used a Teleport to fly into the monster horde dozens of meters away.

"He's not here!"

Huang Chen glanced left, right, front, and back, then frantically threw Raging Thunder in front of him.

The information provided by Jin Wanliang showed that the Woma Cult Master was several times larger than other Monster Types, covered entirely in golden-red magma, making him easy to identify.

As soon as the three-second cooldown for Teleport ended, Huang Chen immediately flew deeper inside.

He randomly teleported dozens of times continuously on the Woma Third Level, killing three Cult Master's Guards, but still didn't see the Woma Cult Master.

"Where could he be?"

Just as Huang Chen's three-second cooldown ended and he was about to Teleport again, the team's chat channel started flashing frantically.

Xie Chunyan: "Hubby, the Woma Cult Master has appeared."

Bai Zhaoning: "So strong, retreat first!"

Tie Shengnan: "Earth Element Users control it in rotation, Water Element users retreat to the entrance to heal, everyone else retreat to the Second Level, quickly..."

"Shield broken, retreat quickly..."

...Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Chen immediately Teleported back to the top of the Convex Shape.

At this moment, the defensive line of Xie Chunyan and the others had been forced back to the middle of the top of the Convex Shape.

The ground was covered in magma. As soon as the Womens Army members were touched by the magma, their HP immediately bottomed out.

As soon as Huang Chen landed, he saw Li Ruo get smashed flying by the Woma Cult Master's Flaming Fist.

She crashed against the wall of the Woma Third Level and slid down. Her HP bar, which was previously half full, instantly dropped to just a thread.

However, under the massive healing output, it immediately filled up again.
