"Wow, this directly exceeds the average score of the Silver Camp," Pao Bai exclaimed in surprise after seeing the final results.
"It's meaningless to compare your average score with the strongest individual score," Ye Zhongming replied indifferently, then stood up to present awards to the top one hundred.
The Crimson Condensation Equipment made everyone's eyes shine with envy, especially the Silver and golden warriors watching the competition. The soldiers from the Bronze Camp, who had not yet participated, were already getting a little excited due to the atmosphere on-site.
Next, the assessments for various individual items proceeded very smoothly, with good results in almost every aspect. The two clan leaders were very happy, and everyone else was too.
The Bronze Camp is the starting point and foundation for the Star-Eye Clan warriors. If it becomes strong, then the Silver and golden camps will undoubtedly become powerful as well, which naturally strengthens the Star-Eye Clan.
However, everyone also truly felt Ye Zhongming's "wealthy and generous" nature. Watching the distribution of one piece of Crimson Condensation Equipment after another, and seeing pieces of Kegang level equipment handed out, it really felt like he was spending money like water.
Although it had long been ordered that all clan matters must not be leaked or photographed, seeing such a scene made even the two clan leaders feel a little worried. Once the news leaked, the Tarros Red Dwarf would definitely stop at nothing to destroy Ye Zhongming and the Star-Eye Clan.
Now, they just hoped to give the Star-Eye Clan and Ye Zhongming more time to grow stronger together. When they could stand toe to toe with the Tarros Red Dwarf, it would be safe.
But…everyone felt uncertain.
The individual assessments quickly came to an end. Some were happy while others were worried. After all, aside from the top one hundred winners, the scores of the other participants would still be recorded. Those ranked in the last one hundred basically faced elimination, as the remaining assessments would be collective and would not factor into personal performance.
When the final overall scores were announced, the Bronze warriors ranked in the last one hundred were either dazed or in despair. In front of so many people and the clan leaders, they truly felt humiliated.
"You have been eliminated, and it’s in front of everyone. I admit this is very cruel," Ye Zhongming suddenly stood up and addressed them.
"You might hate me, that's fine, as this was my decision. But please do not hate the Star-Eye Clan, as the pressure within the clan is much greater than yours. The Star-Eye Clan is on the brink of extinction; every step is like walking on the edge of a precipice."
Everyone knew the situation within the clan, but it was the first time someone had publicly stated it. Initially, everyone's faces showed embarrassment, followed by unwillingness and hope!
The person who said this brought enormous change to a clan that had been filled with despair.
"And please do not give up, because you were part of the Bronze Camp before, which is why you were eliminated by its rules. But from now on, you are members of the Star-Eye Clan. If you meet the recruitment rules of the Bronze Camp, then next time, I hope you can work hard to re-enter here, prove to the two clan leaders, to me, to your families, and to yourselves that your failure is temporary, not permanent."
After finishing, Ye Zhongming had their thousand-person commander personally escort them out of the military camp.
As these people walked out the door, most were already in tears. They looked back at the camp where they had lived for so long, silently vowing to return next time.
"Remaining participants, please do not relax, as you may be the next to be eliminated," Ye Zhongming said. "Alright, let's move into the collective confrontation. Opponents will be randomly selected. After the first round, the thousand-person team with the best score will advance directly, while the remaining four teams will draw lots again. The winners will move on to the top three, then a round-robin will be held. The two winners will secure first place, those with one win and one loss will come second, and those with two losses will take third. If all end with one win and one loss, the final ranking will be determined by the total number of survivors."
