Everyone, though a bit skeptical, still nodded.

David Harris was thinking about something else at this moment. In the past, because his power posed a threat to the martial world, some prominent figures had actually coerced and deceived him into making a vow not to kill. He must not make that mistake again here.

Seeing that everyone agreed, David Harris asked, “So after adding me, what will Ailinske be called?”

Chuck, quick to speak, blurted out, “Then let’s call it Ailinske Wind.”

“No, it should be Wind Ailinske. The leader’s—no, the boss’s name should come first.”

“That sounds terrible, not good at all.”

As everyone argued, David Harris asked again, “Grace wants to join too, what do you all think?”

Hearing its name, Grace lifted its white head to look, then lay back down.

No one had considered this issue before, and they couldn’t help but stare at each other. Does Grace count too? Isn’t it just a pet?

Seeing everyone’s doubt, David Harris didn’t explain, only said, “If we have to change the name every time we add someone, it’ll be too troublesome. If there are more people in the future, we probably won’t even remember the name.”

Everyone thought that made sense. If they kept adding people, wouldn’t a hundred people mean a hundred-character name?

“Then let’s call it the Aisha Adventurer Team!”

“Better to call it the Chuck Warriors!”

“Snow Warriors!”

“Linda Mercenary Group!”

……

Listening to their argument, David Harris couldn’t help but shake his head. Looking at the lying Grace, he suddenly remembered a long-forgotten name.

“Wolf Army!” David Harris blurted out. A passionate light flickered in his eyes.

Everyone fell silent, savoring this name full of rugged spirit.

The dwarves and warriors were the first to agree. The remaining two ladies, though not fond of it, were forced to accept under the majority’s decision.

Next, everyone worked together to clean up the battlefield in Dark Star Valley. There was nothing valuable left on the charred corpses, so David Harris had Grace dig a big pit and threw all the zombies, skeletons, and such into it, burying them. The others rummaged through the mage’s house.

This evil mage didn’t have a habit of collecting jewels, only a few magic books and some magical items, none of which were particularly valuable.

Although the gains here weren’t great, everyone was quite happy. Completing the mission meant they would receive two thousand gold coins from Lord Rob. And not long ago, everyone had already gotten their own benefits.

After tidying up, David Harris decided to rest here for a day and start wandering on adventures tomorrow.

Dinner was an unknown small animal caught by Grace, but it tasted quite good. After David Harris roasted it, even the elf, who liked meat the least, couldn’t help but eat two pieces. Needless to say, Chuck and Snow, the two gluttons, ate their fill. In the end, everyone lay in their rooms, burping contentedly, and fell asleep.

David Harris didn’t sleep, nor could he.

He went outside alone, found a comfortable patch of grass, and lay down. Grace followed him out as soon as he stepped outside, quietly lying beside him.

Looking at the unfamiliar sky above, David Harris was filled with thoughts.

From being a child prisoner to the leader of the Wolf Army, and then all his experiences after demobilization, everything flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

Then he thought about today’s events, not knowing whether he was dreaming or awake.

But Aisha’s Wind Blade today was quite peculiar. He had always thought it was a blade aura sent out with inner force, but it turned out not to be. But is it possible to do this with inner force?

David Harris tried to think of several possible methods, but none could directly send out blade aura. Does it have to be with a blade in hand? When he was in the Wolf Army, David Harris could send out blade aura with a blade in hand. He just needed to release his inner force at high speed along the blade’s edge, control the timing, cut off the connection with his body at the right moment, and fling it out, forming a piercing blade aura.

The power depended on how much inner force was used, and as for controlling the direction, as long as a thin stream of true energy followed at the moment of release, he could control the attack’s position within a certain range.

If that’s the case, then it should be possible to achieve the same effect with a hand. But the hand isn’t as sharp as a blade, so the energy released shouldn’t be blade-shaped, but rather hand-shaped. How to control the shape?

Using the hand instead of a blade removes a medium, but since the inner force doesn’t lose energy through the blade, the blade aura released should be even more powerful. Now the only problem is how to control the shape of the energy released.

Without a blade, can the energy be shaped like a blade’s edge? David Harris tried to send out a thread of inner force from his hand, but it dissipated as soon as it was released. How to control it became a problem.

Why does the energy dissipate? Before, he could use energy to form an airtight wall outside his body to block miasma—wasn’t that possible? No, it still dissipated then, just that it was constantly replenished, pushing the miasma away, so maintaining it for a long time was tiring.

How can he maintain a certain shape outside the body without it dissipating? David Harris was now immersed in martial arts exploration.

If he could solve this problem, not only could he reduce his own inner force consumption, but he could also attack enemies with greater power—killing two birds with one stone. It dissipates outside the body, so why doesn’t it dissipate inside? The meridian cycle!
