"You've encountered opponents, haven't you? Faced demonic creatures, haven't you? Are you scared? Did you run for your lives? Did you scream?"
The number of people in front of him did not match the number of professionals who stayed behind, indicating that they had also encountered their own dangers.
"You see, when you said you wanted to stay behind and not continue forward, I did not blame you. But why do you feel entitled to enjoy the joy of victory? What gives you the right to survive? Why are you jumping around here? What gives you that look of success? Tell me, why?"
"Why?"
Wen Yu turned to the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince raised his right hand slightly, and a tremendous force filled the hand that Wen Yu had clasped around Sun Aotian's wrist.
A gentle yet powerful force surged through Wen Yu's hand, causing him to involuntarily release his grip on Sun Aotian!
Sun Aotian collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, looking at Wen Yu as if he were a monster, before quickly scrambling away.
Although the treasure land guardian could not harm professionals, there were naturally countermeasures in place when professionals attempted to kill outside the trial!
But that didn't matter.
"Why?"
Wen Yu asked again.
The venue fell silent.
The Fourth Prince looked at Wen Yu and said seriously, "By luck."
"What a damn good explanation, so it turns out the best among you is actually you. I admit it, really."
Wen Yu nodded and scanned the entire area.
In the escort team, only Sun Ruixing survived.
This was within Wen Yu's expectations.
Then there were still five trembling professionals left.
"Ha."
Wen Yu exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Don't be angry."
Sun Ruixing approached and patted Wen Yu's shoulder, having noticed Wen Yu's poor state.
"Ha."
Taking a deep breath, as if that would help him relax a bit.
"I'm not angry, just a little excited. So we succeeded, right?"
"Yes."
Sun Ruixing nodded.
"It's really not a good feeling, really. This is the most unfeeling success I've ever experienced. I can't be happy at all!"
"I understand. Once we get out, we'll have a drink and sleep it off."
"Tch, I won't drink alone."
"I'll keep you company, but you pay."
Wen Yu rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I have points. Let's exchange them for two bottles of good wine."
...
"So, have you all finished?"
Looking at the professionals who showed no signs of excitement or enthusiasm, the Fourth Prince spoke.
"Send us out, there's no point in staying here."
Wen Yu said.
The Fourth Prince nodded, "You don't want the rewards either?"
Wen Yu looked at the Fourth Prince and burst out laughing after a moment.
"Rewards? Why wouldn't I want them?"
Wen Yu had been in a bad mood earlier, so he hadn't thought of that aspect.
But given the difficulty of the second stage, the rewards would certainly be substantial!
"Alright, start distributing the rewards."
As soon as the Fourth Prince finished speaking, a box filled with a large number of magic crystals appeared before everyone.
"Inside are Level 2 Magic Crystals; this is the reward for you five."
After saying this, the Fourth Prince quietly glanced at Wen Yu.
Just a glance made Wen Yu smile.
It seemed the Fourth Prince didn't have a good opinion of these "deserters" either.
"Old Sun, go ahead and absorb as much as you can."
Wen Yu said to Sun Ruixing.
Sun Ruixing looked at the five motionless individuals nearby, then glanced over at the Fourth Prince before walking forward.
As one magic crystal after another disappeared into Sun Ruixing's hands, in a short span, Sun Ruixing's physical quality reached 50 points!
Peak of Level 2!
Seeing that Sun Ruixing had finished absorbing, Wen Yu turned to the five individuals who dared not move.
"You should understand that these things do not belong to you, right?"
Watching the ugly expressions on the faces of the five, Wen Yu suddenly smiled.
"Old Sun, bring that entire box of magic crystals back!"
Since there's no harm without comparison, after witnessing William and the others' gallantry, Sun Ruixing evidently had some thoughts about these people and didn’t care about showing his compassion, decisively bringing the box back to Wen Yu.
