Leng Yue immediately became serious. She revealed her tattooed armor and introduced herself: "Oath Squad Dark Night Envoy, codename—Manjusaka, current realm peak of the ninth rank."
She chose to keep her name, firstly because it was too complicated and if someone with ulterior motives investigated, they might find her friends or relatives, which could be detrimental to her; secondly, because a code name was more convenient to use in this environment, as it had higher recognizability and deterrent effect.
"And me, Fatty, am one too!"
With a leap, Little Fatty slammed his meteorite shield heavily onto the ground. He pounded the shield with boundless pride, proclaiming, "The strongest shield warrior of the Oath Squad, codename—Undying Fatty, current realm surpassing ninth rank!"
Jiang Yuan chuckled inwardly upon hearing the code name. This guy was as down-to-earth as ever, but for the chubby guy who had cultivated the Undying Body, it was indeed a fitting name.
"It's my turn!"
Ning Yanlan stepped forward and said with great confidence, "Oath Squad Psionicist, codename—Mandala Flower, current realm peak of the ninth rank."
All three revealed a portion of their abilities. The Dark Knight was a legacy Leng Yue received from the Tomb of the Warlord, perfectly matching her bloodline and abilities, which is also the path she will choose in the future. As for Little Fatty, needless to say, shield warrior has always been his profession, and becoming the strongest is his dream. As for Ning Yanlan, the Yin-Yang Sect legacy she received is more about supporting her ice and fire, so she chose to appear as a psionicist. After all, the spirit race is her greatest advantage, and ice and fire dual-elemental psionic energy is her primary means.
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the 500-strong reserve force, with several of the younger men starting to jeer.
"Great Chief, you're the only one who hasn't introduced yourself yet!"
"Yes, yes, I heard that one of our four leaders is a couple!"
"Big Chief, you have to tell us, otherwise the brothers won't know which chief is single and won't dare to openly admire him!"
"You bunch of brats!" Jiang Yuan laughed and scolded the boys who were making a fuss, but he didn't have any other thoughts, because the reserve force had such an atmosphere, which meant they really regarded this place as their second home after the disaster.
"Alright, even though we already know each other, I think it's still necessary to formally get to know each other again!"
Jiang Yuan's expression turned serious. He raised his head, puffed out his chest, and roared with full force, "Oath Squad Leader, codename—Hell Apostle, current realm: Ninth Rank!"
"As for the couple you just mentioned, they do exist!"
Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on Ning Yanlan, and Ning Yanlan cooperated perfectly. The two leaned against each other in perfect harmony. Jiang Yuan reached out and took Ning Yanlan's hand, saying affectionately, "We have shared hardships in the past, and we will surely follow each other through life and death in the future!"
"Woo~ woo!"
The reservists cast envious glances. Ordinary love cannot withstand storms, but love forged in times of crisis can transcend life and death.
"Wait, wait, wait, how is it over already? I haven't even introduced Youhuang yet!" The little dumpling was very unhappy from behind. It had been eating dog food every day for the past few days, but it didn't expect to be eating dog food again in such an occasion. Even a bear can't tolerate this!
"Wow, the national treasure can talk?"
As soon as the little dumpling opened its mouth, the attention of the entire reserve force was drawn to it. They didn't know until they looked that their leader was followed by a giant panda.
"A thunderous boom echoes through the sky, and I, your humble servant, make my dazzling entrance!"
The little dumpling slammed its fist into the ground, and the loud thud, along with the powerful recoil, sent it onto the training platform.
"When did this kid learn to show off?!" Jiang Yuan was utterly astonished by the little dumpling's antics. It had only been a few days since he last saw him, and the once innocent and adorable little dumpling had already learned to show off in this way. How could he not be surprised?
"Brother Yuan, this isn't my fault! Your little dumpling went to see a few movies with Liu Zhaodi, and she came back like this. I don't know what kind of pretentious dramas she watched, she's even learned to have her own background music when she appears!" Little Fatty muttered in a low voice.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"Hurrah! Hurrah!"
The little dumpling first roared twice, and only when it was sure that everyone's eyes were on it did it proudly introduce itself: "This dumpling, cough, this is the True Martial Divine Beast, destined to become the King of All Beasts! As for me, I was born noble and destined to be extraordinary, so I have decided that from now on, this divine beast will be the guardian beast of the oath!"
Jiang Yuan, Ning Yanlan, Xiao Pang, and Leng Yue: "..."
Not content with showing off, the little dumpling grabbed Youhuang and declared with overwhelming momentum, "Of course, there's also my little brother!"
"roll!"
A clear, sharp rebuke came from Youhuang's mouth.
"Don't be nervous. From now on, I will be the left divine beast, and you will be the right divine beast. We will protect this oath together!" The little dumpling grabbed one of Youhuang's wings and described in detail the contributions it would make to the oath in the future.
"Applause! Welcome, leaders and our two esteemed guardian beasts!"
The reserve team erupted in enthusiastic applause once again. The group seemed quite uncomfortable with such enthusiasm, and only returned to their residence after Jiang Yuan provided them with a large amount of cultivation resources.
"By the way, let's all go to my sister-in-law's house for dinner tonight. We've been back for a few days and haven't had a proper get-together yet!" Ning Yanlan asked Xiao Pang and Leng Yue.
"Sister Li and Xiao Xin don't know I'm injured, do they?" A hint of worry flashed across Jiang Yuan's face.
"I was afraid they would worry, so I didn't tell them. Besides, we've been staying somewhere else these past few days!"
The base expansion went smoothly, and now they have enough houses to house several hundred people, giving them more space, so they didn't bother Li Xiang and the others.
"That's good. Let's go now. It's not long before lunchtime!" Jiang Yuan glanced at the sky, which was starting to darken. The treasure appraisal meeting that Liu Zhaodi had mentioned kept popping into his mind.
His spiritual power was sealed, and he was more anxious than anyone else, so he needed to find a way to restore it as soon as possible, and going out was undoubtedly the best option.
“Okay, I haven’t seen Xiao Xin in a long time either!” Leng Yue nodded in agreement.
When they returned to the small courtyard, Li Xiang and Xiao Xin were overjoyed. After the catastrophe, they had come to regard the members of the Oath Squad as their closest relatives, and seeing them safe and sound was undoubtedly the greatest blessing.
After a hearty meal, Jiang Yuan entered the underground palace where he had once been alone.
"It seems Shi Xuyao has been taking good care of my forging station!"
Looking at the spotless forging table, Jiang Yuan felt inexplicably calm. Forging was a great way to clear his mind, but he no longer had the ability to forge.
Forging weapons, whether it's forging the blank or shaping, requires the assistance of divine power; currently, he can only exert a small portion of the ancient martial arts power.
"There are still eight days left until the inheritance requirements within the artifact stele are met. It seems I don't have much time left!"
The inheritor of the artifact stele had requirements for the weapon forger: he had to forge a Void Spirit Realm artifact soul within one month of obtaining the basic inheritance, otherwise he would not be able to obtain the inheritance within the artifact stele.
"Wait, why is there the aura of the source of the battlefield here!"
