I have an eye of truth

"Your performance can only be described as extremely poor. Nearly twenty percent of you ran away. Look around you. With perfect defense facilities and no one injured, nearly twenty percent of you fled before even engaging in close combat."

Hearing this, many people lowered their heads, their faces flushed red.

Speaking of which, if someone hadn't reminded them later, many of them would have also wanted to escape. As for those who had already fled and been sent back, they now wished they could disappear into the ground.

Because the front line didn't show any signs of collapsing; instead, they were the first to run. Even setting aside whether it was right or wrong, their actions alone made them feel ashamed. It could be said to be a stain on their entire lives.

"In addition, less than ten percent of you actually passed this test."

Now, even more people felt ashamed. Originally, they were proud of themselves for not running away, but then most of them calculated and realized that they probably hadn't passed either. This made a group of people with high aspirations feel exceptionally unacceptable. They had all felt powerful after awakening their abilities.

"However, I can now give you a chance. After all, you haven't undergone systematic training. Although you didn't pass, you can barely stay for intensive training."

The colonel's words gave everyone renewed confidence. It was one thing to not want to come to the first level or not want to come at all. But once they came, being sent back for failing would be a lifelong disgrace.

"Don't be happy so soon. The training that follows will be very difficult. Also, those who ran away will be sent back to start learning from scratch. This will be a stain on your lives, and if you still fail the second time, this shame will accompany you for the rest of your lives."

The faces of those who had fled turned pale, filled with panic.

They knew that once this kind of stain was branded on them, it would be difficult to even get by in their home world. The title of deserter was not something anyone could bear.

As long as such a mark was recorded on their file, very few units in the home world would hire them.

"Next, let's talk about something you'll be happy about. Although most people didn't pass, there were some who did, even exceeding our expectations. Also, we have compiled the records of the monsters you hunted. Next is the distribution of rewards."

The commanders nearby had already submitted their records. It was easy to compile statistics based on the records and the footage taken by the surrounding cameras.

"I'm very happy that some of you were able to cooperate and kill a Spine Fiend. Let me tell you the truth, the Spine Fiend is one of the top existences on the first level, with strength comparable to a formal professional, especially with extremely strong defensive power. Your ability to cooperate and kill it shows that your strength is already very good. But don't be proud, after all, this is only the first level, the real battlefield is not here."

Many people around looked at Wang Yang and Liu Xiao. After such a long time, everyone knew that they were the ones who did it.

After a lecture, everyone dispersed. Those who had fled before were immediately dragged away.

Some cried, some wanted to be unreasonable, but the soldiers here didn't care at all. They would kick them directly, and if they still didn't listen, they would dislocate their joints and forcibly drag them away.

"That's how the military is. Once you make a mistake, there's no second chance. You must accept the punishment."

Liu Xiao patted Wang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. It's time for us to receive our rewards. With these things, your body tempering cultivation will be accelerated."

Wang Yang had already learned how to absorb the crystal cores, which was different from the absorption method of the Eye of Truth.

Walking forward, the colonel was personally distributing their rewards. "Not bad, you two are very good, especially you. Not only do you have good talent, but you also work hard. To perform so well on your first battlefield is really impressive."

"Colonel, you flatter me." Wang Yang quickly said in a low voice. How could he not know his own situation?

Thinking back to the previous scene, if he hadn't entered a special state and seen other people running away, Wang Yang felt that he would have basically run away too.

After all, the world he lived in had long been far away from war.

Even after recalling it after the battle, Wang Yang felt incredible that he could adapt to that environment. At that time, if he hadn't run out of strength, perhaps he would have instinctively retreated.

"Don't say that. I saw your performance. Keep up the good work in the future."

As he spoke, the colonel handed them two boxes. Opening the boxes, they contained the crystal cores. Needless to say, these were the spoils they had hunted before.

According to the rules, the crystal cores were theirs, while the corpses belonged to the camp. Afterwards, military merits would be recorded for them, and some bonuses would be issued. But those things would have to wait for later calculations.

Opening the box, Wang Yang saw a crystal core that was clearly much larger than the others. "This, wouldn't this be the Spine Fiend's crystal core?"

"That's right, it's this one. You can tell from the size. Crystal cores of the same level usually don't vary too much."

Wang Yang nodded. He didn't know what the rules were, but it seemed that humans didn't have this thing. "How should this be divided? After all, I didn't hunt this myself. Uncle, you contributed to it."

"Haha, the military calculates it by who killed it. You fired the final shot, so I can't take a share."

"No, no, after all, we each contributed half the credit. I can't take advantage."

Li Mang, who was nearby, looked at the two people's refusal, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Okay, stop arguing. Let's do this. Let's calculate the specific price of this thing. Wang Yang, you keep the crystal core, and Wang Yang, you give half the value of the low-grade crystal core to Uncle Liu."

Wang Yang seemed a little embarrassed, but Liu Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's do that."

It was just an ordinary crystal core. With Wang Yang's ability, he could get a lot just by taking a stroll outside, so it didn't matter if he accepted it. This was the best way to maintain a team.

After all, the internal distribution of benefits within a team and the military's distribution were two completely different standards.

Not far away, Black Wolf looked at the three people who had gained so much, gnashing his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything now. A gap had already formed between his henchmen and himself, and many people had fled.

After this, Black Wolf discovered that only three people were still following him. The original large team had become smaller.
