907: Recruiting a team

A black Soul Card.

This represents the full-force strike of a ten-thousand-year-old exotic beast!

Even a Saint Master expert with seven cards wouldn't dare to take it head-on!

From this perspective, the Divine Hall didn't treat him perfunctorily.

If he could later introduce the Goddess of the Divine Hall into the protagonist's team, he could receive a generous reward ten times greater than this.

Adjusting his mood, Du Xingchen put the items back into his storage ring.

At the same time, he also placed some of his valuable belongings inside.

"I wonder if my Sister will call the police or something if she can't contact me."

"Also, in the future... will there be a chance to go back?"

Lying on the bed, looking at the beautiful night sky outside the window, which was the same as in his previous World, Du Xingchen felt a bit spaced out.

In just one day, he had obtained the capital to establish himself in this World.

This kind of achievement could be said to be a great stroke of luck.

And it was indeed worth celebrating.

However, he still felt a sense of loss, as he still yearned for his Original World.

This longing had only developed in the last two years.

In the last two years, the Original World had been silently and truly progressing towards a better direction, giving rise to beauty.

As an ordinary person in the Original World, Du Xingchen felt it very clearly.

He still wanted to continue witnessing the changes in that World later...

If there was a day he could go back, he hoped the Original World wouldn't have undergone such drastic changes after the passage of time, like the transformation of a sea into a mulberry field.

While his mind was filled with myriad thoughts, a wave of drowsiness gradually surged over him.

...

The next day.

The morning sun shone in through the window, emitting a warmth.

Du Xingchen yawned.

It was morning.

The habit he had cultivated over the years made him wake up very early.

Just looking at the sky, it was around six or a little before seven o'clock.

After walking out of his residence, Du Xingchen suddenly sensed something and looked towards the training ground in the distance.

He saw someone who had woken up even earlier than him and was currently training their physical fitness on the training ground.

It was Moyun.

The other party was exercising on the training ground.

To outsiders, this was just a normal exercise method.

But Du Xingchen understood.

Moyun was cultivating the top physical technique from the World he had transmigrated from!

Five Elements Yin Yang Body!

This physical technique encompassed movement techniques, fist techniques, and even combat techniques!

It was divided into seven stages.

At this moment, Moyun's Cultivation progress should be in the second stage, the Wood Body stage.

In the original work, this physical technique accompanied him until he cultivated to the Supreme realm!

It was precisely by relying on this powerful physical technique that he completely surpassed Soul Card Masters of the same realm!

...

Du Xingchen's gaze also attracted the attention of Moyun, who was in the midst of his Cultivation.

Turning his head, Moyun's eyes flickered slightly: "Woke up so early today?"

"Didn't the Captain order me yesterday to arrange the travel convoy for you guys? So I thought I'd get up early and get this matter prepared as soon as possible." Du Xingchen yawned and casually found an excuse.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Moyun.

He saw that Moyun, in a feigned voice, comforted him: "Don't blame the Captain for arranging these things for you; he also wants to temper your ability to stand on your own."

After Moyun said this, his meaning was completely different from yesterday.

Yesterday, when the Dean and the others arrived, Moyun had acted as a peacemaker, advising Wen Xiucheng not to target him, and also said that the responsibility for Ning Bing's coma lay with him.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he was telling him not to blame the Captain and implicitly agreeing that he should help everyone prepare those things.

This was his true thought.

After he refused to sacrifice his Soul Card to help him fuse the ten-thousand-year-old card yesterday, he had already held a grudge against him.

Only on the surface, he still maintained a harmonious appearance.

Because the team still needed him, the tank who could absorb damage.

And if someone could replace him, he would definitely turn hostile faster than flipping a book. Not only would he not consider their friendship as classmates, but he would even kick him while he was down!

"En, I know." Du Xingchen showed an expression that indicated he understood the Captain's painstaking efforts.

"Then you go get busy, see you later." Moyun urged, ending the exchange.

Walking out of the academy, Du Xingchen looked back at the training ground where Moyun was cultivating his physical technique.

To be honest, he was indeed a bit envious of the protagonist's physical technique.

But he only thought about it, after all, it was impossible for Moyun to teach it to others.

Even in the middle and later stages of the original work, when his teammates had reached the point of life and death with him, Moyun never mentioned teaching the physical technique to his teammates.

He knew clearly that if the others in the team cultivated the Five Elements Yin Yang Body, their strength would skyrocket.

At least in the final battle, everyone wouldn't suffer the tragic situation of losing limbs.

But Moyun still chose to hide the physical technique.

From the perspective of a normal person's thinking, for a powerful physical technique like the Five Elements Yin Yang Body, it was naturally best for only oneself to Cultivate it.

This was understandable.

But the others in the team, in the middle and later stages of the original work, which one didn't fight for the protagonist's life? Which one didn't make sacrifices for the protagonist?

Everyone treated Moyun as a brother, but he treated his brothers as tools to be exploited, unwilling to teach them the physical technique, worried that his teammates would surpass him after learning it.

Understanding this point, Du Xingchen quickly dismissed the idea of the Five Elements Yin Yang Body.

The good things from the System were enough for him to enjoy; there was no need to dwell on something he couldn't possibly obtain.

Walking on the street.

At this time, the vendors and working citizens in the City had begun their busy day.

"Find a convoy for everyone." He murmured, Du Xingchen did not have a perfunctory attitude towards the task Wen Xiucheng had assigned him.

Since he trusted him so much and arranged such a good job for him, he naturally couldn't let down this trust.

While thinking this, the Man had a certain plan.

Taking firm steps, Du Xingchen went to the Shield City Divine Hall branch again.

As soon as he arrived, the Middle-aged Man who had taken him to see the Goddess and Mu Qianjun yesterday quickly came out to greet him: "Greetings, Mr. Du."

"You have come to the Divine Hall today for...?"

"Is there a place suitable for discussing matters?" Looking at the hall he was in, Du Xingchen asked.

"Naturally there is, Mr. please follow me." The Middle-aged Man nodded slightly.

Having already known that Du Xingchen's identity was special, he put on a very low posture.

A moment later, Du Xingchen was led to a side room: "Who is the manager of this Shield City Divine Hall branch? Can you ask him to come over?"

"I am the manager of the Shield City Divine Hall branch, Connor. Mr. Du, if you need any help, just say so." The Middle-aged Man pushed up his glasses and said with a smile.

"You?" Du Xingchen was slightly surprised, then quickly composed himself and returned to the main topic: "I did come to the Divine Hall today because I need your help with something."

"I need to recruit a convoy to escort me and my classmates to the Outer Domain."

"This is very simple, Mr. Du can leave it entirely to us." Connor had no temper whatsoever and naturally took on the task.

"No, it's not that simple." Du Xingchen shook his head and added: "If it were just normal recruitment, I could do it myself. Asking you is completely unnecessary."

"The reason I'm asking you to help me recruit a convoy is that I want to use your Divine Hall branch's information channels to release the information that I'm recruiting a convoy."

"It needs to specifically highlight the fact that Wen Xiucheng of Yunyong Academy is leading a class of six people to the Outer Domain!"

"Oh?" The Middle-aged Man was half-understanding but didn't ask further: "I understand."

"Then, how will the final convoy be selected?"

"Of course, the final spot will be given to the convoy with the lowest price." Du Xingchen gave a straightforward answer.

His current move could be said to be the bait on the hook entering the water.

He was just waiting for the fish to bite.

Only he, having read the original work, knew that Wen Xiucheng was actually a Prince who had escaped from the Imperial Palace!

His escape from the Imperial Palace was not because the Royal Family treated him poorly or because of things like brothers fighting for the throne.

Instead, the country and the Royal Family where Wen Xiucheng was located had been infiltrated by the forces of the Demon Hall!

He was the only member of the Royal Family who had luckily escaped!

To avoid subsequent pursuit by the Demon Hall, he had been hiding in Linshan Country for these years, becoming a Student in Yunyong Academy.

The reason he chose to participate in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination now was to achieve an excellent result in the examination, thereby gaining the attention of the Divine Hall and making the Demon Hall dare not act rashly against him!

After all, in this World of conflict, the only ones who could restrain or even suppress the Demon Hall were the Divine Hall!

Now that Wen Xiucheng had completely entrusted the arrangement of the convoy to him, Du Xingchen naturally wanted to give him a big surprise.

"Anyway, it won't be long before the Demon Hall discovers you and pursues you."

"Why not let me expose you to the Demon Hall's eyes in advance, let them infiltrate the convoy, and consider it helping you adapt in advance."

Of course.

Du Xingchen's actions were not entirely aimed at Wen Xiucheng.

More of it was a setup to deal with Moyun.

Even the Snake Spirit knew to deal with the Calabash Brothers one by one.

"Regarding the spread of these messages, it needs to be done normally, and at the same time, it needs to highlight the name and Martial Soul of the person 'Wen Xiucheng', so that it doesn't feel deliberate." Finally, he instructed Connor and tapped his finger on the table: "There's one more thing..."

...

When Du Xingchen left the Divine Hall, he could see a seemingly ordinary recruitment mission added to the Divine Hall's mission list.

Asking the Divine Hall to help him recruit a convoy.

This action, even if shown to the others in the protagonist's group, wouldn't be seen as problematic.

After all, the Divine Hall branch itself had this kind of service, and entrusting them for help was a very normal thing.

Even in the eyes of most people, with the help of the Divine Hall, the selected convoy would be more reliable.

Because of this, Du Xingchen dared to directly approach the Divine Hall and ask for their help.

If there were spies from the Demon Hall mixed in the convoy, the problem wouldn't lie with him.

It should be noted that the convoy recruitment was entirely entrusted to the Divine Hall as a platform, and Du Xingchen was just paying the platform to do the job.

If you really trace the source... then the room for Du Xingchen's manipulation would be much larger.
