894: Clearly refuse

"System?" Du Xingchen heard the sudden voice very clearly.

A System that directly prompted him to activate, which was beyond common sense, was something he felt he understood somewhat.

Of course, this was all based on what he had learned from novels.

When he was a Student, he was also a novel enthusiast.

He had read less in the past two years, but that didn't mean he had forgotten the various novels he had read before.

And among them, the System genre was one of the hottest trends.

This was an unreasonable cheat!

It was the standard equipment for the protagonist!

"So, not only did I transmigrate, but I also got a System?!" After this thought surfaced, Du Xingchen suddenly felt that this inexplicable Transmigration didn't seem so hard to accept.

Even the matter of not receiving the big red envelope his Sister sent earlier could be temporarily put aside.

"Ding ~ Host, would you like to bind the System?" Ye Tian reminded the Host again.

"Bind!" Du Xingchen didn't hesitate.

If he missed out on this System because he didn't answer, it would truly be a huge loss!

Presumably, no matter who it was, when faced with a System coming to their door like this, they would answer 'Bind'.

There couldn't possibly be an idiot who refused to bind no matter what, right?

After Du Xingchen's affirmative words fell, Ye Tian naturally and smoothly succeeded in binding.

"Xingchen, we all killed that Swallowing Gold Rat King with great difficulty."

"You're not helping Moyun, are you just going to watch this perfectly good Ten-Thousand-Year Card disappear?"

"We were all injured killing the Swallowing Gold Rat King together before, and now you suddenly won't help, aren't you making everyone's efforts go to waste?"

Among the crowd, a woman spoke.

These were the words spoken by the woman beside A Man who had been silent among the three couples present.

Du Xingchen could roughly tell that the other person should be the only healer-type member in the team.

Moyun and the woman standing beside Moyun hadn't spoken yet, but this healer had already started accusing.

"Why do I have to help?"

"Did I ask everyone to risk their lives to kill this Swallowing Gold Rat King?"

"It was Moyun who wanted the card of this Ten-Thousand-Year exotic beast!"

"I already helped him kill the Swallowing Gold Rat King with everyone else, and now he's not confident about merging the card himself, and he's turning around and asking me to make a sacrifice?"

"Xingchen, that's not right!" The team's Captain, Wen Xiucheng, spoke at this moment: "We are all a team, and it's right to help appropriately. The Teacher also said that we should always be united!"

"Only by doing so can we be a qualified team. You can't be too selfish."

"I'm selfish?" Du Xingchen felt that reading about it and experiencing it firsthand were indeed different.

Just this conversation alone had already made him very angry.

"Who is selfish in the end? Who disregarded the team's safety and suggested dealing with a Ten-Thousand-Year exotic beast? Who disregarded team camaraderie and proposed a plan that asked a teammate to make a sacrifice?"

"I've been waiting for my Fourth Soul Token for so long, and I finally got it, and now you want me to give it away?"

"You're the Captain, if you value the team so much, why don't you sacrifice your Soul Card to help Moyun succeed?"

After Du Xingchen's retort came out, Captain Wen Xiucheng's face immediately flared with anger: "How can that be the same?"

"My Fourth Soul Token was obtained from a Five-Thousand-Year Violent Feather Dragon. Can the rarity of a Violent Feather Dragon be compared to your Fourth Soul Token?"

"Furthermore, I have now developed this Fourth Soul Token to 50%, so it's even more impossible to move it."

"Asking you to sacrifice your Fourth Soul Token, which you just recently obtained, is the most reasonable plan from the team's perspective!"

"Relatively speaking, among us, only your Fourth Soul Token is the most unremarkable. Can't you just consume this useless Soul Card and get a better one?"

A Man's voice was heavy.

The pressure brought by his Martial Soul made the birds in the surrounding forest cry out and fly away.

"Consume it and get another one, you say it so easily." Du Xingchen was not intimidated at all: "This method was just proposed by Moyun. His theory has never been heard of in the Martial Soul World for thousands of years. If my Fourth Soul Token is gone and I'm crippled, who will pay for it?"

"You won't be crippled, believe me. My theory is not something others on the continent can question; it is definitely feasible!"

"After I finish absorbing that Ten-Thousand-Year Card, I will find a new exotic beast for you to obtain a card. With my help, you can have a better Soul Card!" Moyun spoke at this moment.

He, who had been persuading him to give up if it didn't work before, now had a change in attitude and was still thinking of having Du Xingchen sacrifice for him.

Regarding this, Du Xingchen was noncommittal.

Indeed.

In the original work, Xingchen did not become crippled after experiencing this.

However, in terms of future strength manifestation, he never had another moment of brilliance!

Xingchen's strength increase could only barely keep up with the protagonist group's leveling speed, completely becoming a supporting character.

Until the very end, everyone had completed their Cultivation and became big-shot level figures.

Only then did Moyun reveal that the theory of having Xingchen swap his Soul Card back then indeed had certain flaws.

It was just that at the time, he thought it was fine, and only realized after absorbing the card that such a method would harm the Martial Soul, harming the very root!

At that time, he didn't tell Xingchen this point, but only secretly resolved in his heart to compensate Xingchen.

However, the so-called compensation was just the protagonist mumbling in his heart.

The real situation was that he was flirting with the female lead beside him.

Only at the very end did he give Xingchen a Seventy-Thousand-Year Soul Card that he didn't need.

With a very high compatibility, Xingchen completely made up for the lack of his Martial Soul, and his strength skyrocketed!

In the original work, this brought about a wave of emotion from Xingchen towards Moyun.

But in reality, these were things he should have had in the first place!

He should have reached the Peak with a complete top-tier Martial Soul, in the posture of a brilliant Xingchen!

But because he helped Moyun succeed, it led to the lack of his Martial Soul, and thereafter, as a dim green leaf, he reached the Peak by accompanying and highlighting others all the way.

Although both reached the Peak, their circumstances were completely different!

Du Xingchen completely ignored Moyun's words: "I can't bear the pain of peeling off the Soul Card, why don't you find someone else?"

If the initial refusal was just said in passing, piggybacking on Moyun's half-hearted persuasion.

Then now, it was a clear and definite refusal!

"There's less than ten minutes left until that Ten-Thousand-Year Card disappears." Among the crowd, besides Moyun and Wen Xiucheng, the remaining A Man with a beard covering his chin, who didn't look like a young person at all, spoke to remind them.

Du Xingchen knew who the other person was.

This was the guy in the team whose age was second only to Captain Wen Xiucheng, and whose strength was also second only to the Captain.

In the team, he had always been a silent type.

And because of his reminder.

Everyone couldn't help but look towards the front of their view.

Lying there was a huge rat, as big as half a room, with dark golden fur all over its body!

And above this rat, pulled by some inexplicable force, an unremarkable card was faintly shining with light.

Compared to the beginning, the color of the card was clearly much lighter!

After an exotic beast dies, it will condense a card.

And if no one absorbs it, the card will disappear after a certain period of time.

This dissipation time also varies depending on the strength of the exotic beast.
