"Xiaoming, today's events are thanks to you. Otherwise, who knows which direction things would have taken. Luo Qianshan is too deep in his schemes; without the information you provided, I'm afraid that soon, Huaxia would be in chaos because of him. During the meeting, Leader praised you more than once. Old Mo's reputation shines because of you, and so does mine. You are our pride." The Grim Reaper smiled as he sat in his chair, looking at his carefully trained disciple with a satisfied expression.
"Actually, my confrontation with Luo Qianshan was just a fifty-fifty chance; this time I was lucky. If we were to fight again, I can't say for sure that I could defeat him. But speaking of which, when you fought Luo Qianshan back then, didn't he barely win against you?" Mo Ming shook his head with a bitter smile and then furrowed his brow as he asked.
Just thinking about how terrifying Luo Qianshan became after taking the medicine made Mo Ming feel uneasy. If he hadn't taken a gamble and if his strength hadn't improved, he would surely be the one dead today instead of Luo Qianshan.
"Really? Fifty-fifty? Your strength surpassed mine back then; you should have made considerable progress over the years. How can it only be fifty-fifty? Is Luo Qianshan really that powerful?" The Grim Reaper asked in surprise.
"Luo Qianshan probably has some hidden strengths. From what he displayed today, it was indeed terrifying. If it were the old me, I doubt I could last even three moves... perhaps not even one," Mo Ming replied with a bitter nod. Ever since he encountered Evil Eye, Lord, and Luo Qianshan, he realized that the titles of top-tier King of Soldiers were mere illusions; many experts lurked in the shadows without revealing themselves!
Evil Eye's strength wasn't particularly terrifying, but Lord and Luo Qianshan could be described as monstrous. Just think about it: if he hadn't gained some breakthroughs after the last battle with Evil Eye, would he have had enough luck to survive against Lord and Luo Qianshan?
"That shouldn't be the case. I still remember the scene back then; Luo Qianshan didn't hide his strength. We were older by then and our stamina was nowhere near what it used to be. I let my guard down and lost to him; he won by a narrow margin. If you think he held back, it might just be that his strength has improved over these years," the Grim Reaper recalled the scene and shook his head.
Suddenly remembering something, the Grim Reaper's expression changed as he said, "There's something I'm curious about: why does Luo Qianshan seem to grow younger while we are all aging?"
"I'm also puzzled about why Luo Qianshan is getting younger. I'm also curious why someone with such a high status, who could already make a name for himself in Huaxia's history, would betray his country," Mo Ming said with a frown.
"What you're saying is something that both I and Leader—your father—have also wondered about. If it's for power, this action wouldn't benefit his reputation at all."
"I have a bold hypothesis regarding this matter. It might sound a bit far-fetched at first, but upon closer analysis, I find it quite fitting," Mo Ming said.
"Oh? What hypothesis?" The Grim Reaper asked curiously.
"First of all, Luo Qianshan is becoming increasingly younger; it's almost like he's reversing aging, but this isn't due to any illness. Secondly, his reasons for betrayal can't be wealth or status because at his position—while not exactly the top leader of Huaxia—he holds significant power and prestige. He shouldn't do anything that would harm himself," Mo Ming analyzed as he explained to the Grim Reaper.
"You are right. So what is your hypothesis?" The Grim Reaper nodded in agreement and then asked.
"It is possible that the 'Dark Order' organization holds the secret to 'Eternal Life,' which would explain why Luo Qianshan would go to such lengths to betray the country. This may sound a bit superstitious and feudal, but upon closer examination, this hypothesis is quite impeccable!" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile, shaking his head. "Of course, this is just my analysis, and I'm not entirely sure if this hypothesis holds true. Perhaps there are other reasons for Luo Qianshan's betrayal."
As the Grim Reaper listened to Mo Ming, his expression gradually became serious, and he furrowed his brow before saying, "No. Your analysis is not without merit. After hearing you say this, I have come to realize that it is indeed possible that the 'Dark Order' organization really possesses means of 'Eternal Life.'"
Originally, Mo Ming did not want to dwell on such matters, but upon hearing the Grim Reaper's words, he was somewhat surprised. The Grim Reaper seemed to have no doubts about the existence of 'Eternal Life.'
From what Mo Ming knew of the Grim Reaper, he would not easily believe in such a miraculous claim. However, the Grim Reaper appeared as if he had seen something similar before, speaking with a degree of confidence that astonished Mo Ming.
"Master, do you really believe in the existence of 'Eternal Life'?" Mo Ming asked.
"If I didn't know someone, I would never believe that such things could happen. But knowing him makes me believe that there are indeed many things in this world that science cannot prove."
"Who is this person?" Mo Ming was surprised by the Grim Reaper's answer and quickly asked.
"A former acquaintance," the Grim Reaper said slowly. "He was the most abnormal person I have ever encountered; he was no different from those characters who can leap across rooftops on television. Moreover, what struck me as truly extraordinary was that he possessed an ageless appearance!"
"Having an ageless appearance does not equate to 'Eternal Life.' Aren't there many celebrities on television who also have youthful looks?" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile and shook his head.
"That's different. A person's appearance can be maintained through various means to slow down aging, but physical abilities are much harder to preserve. When I met him years ago, he still looked the same; there wasn't much change in his appearance, yet his skills had become increasingly abnormal!" The Grim Reaper couldn't help but marvel at the memories of that person.
"Since even you say so, it seems this person is quite remarkable..." Mo Ming seemed to recall something and his expression changed as he hurriedly said, "By the way, once at the airport near Nanhua City, I encountered a terrifyingly powerful young man. His skills were not inferior to mine; in fact, he might even be stronger than me. I don't know his name, but he claimed to be your old friend."
"That must be him without a doubt. I have made very few friends over the years, let alone young friends. Among my friends now, he is probably the only one who still appears young." A glimmer of excitement flashed in the Grim Reaper's eyes as he asked, "What characteristics did this young man have?"
"Yes. That person is quite similar to me, with well-defined features. The most striking aspect is his high and attractive nose. From his eyes, I could see no hint of killing intent. By the way, I remember that person's girlfriend calls him Corn!"
"That's definitely him. I can't believe you actually ran into him," the Grim Reaper said.
"What is his name?" Mo Ming asked.
"I think you've heard of him... His name is Yi Yu, with 'Yi' meaning easy and 'Yu' meaning gloomy!" The Grim Reaper looked meaningfully into Mo Ming's eyes, as if trying to catch a glimpse of surprise.
"That legendary figure from Huaxia, Yi Yu!? It can't be! I remember you said that when you met him, he was already twenty-six years old, but now you're over forty. Why does he look like he hasn't changed much?"
Mo Ming was shocked.
The name Yi Yu might not be known to ordinary people, but those with status are well aware of what those two characters represent; he is an extremely terrifying existence!
He is a legend in the business world!
He is a legend in the military!
He is a national hero!
When the country was first established, he was only sixteen years old. At that time, the newly formed nation was very weak. He led the Trump Card Special Forces to serve the country, fighting bravely against enemies and instilling fear in them. He once single-handedly annihilated a special forces unit from M Country that had over fifty members, establishing a terrifying myth!
At that time, military forces from various countries referred to him as the War God, a milestone in the history of a nation!
Mo Ming is also regarded as a milestone who breaks through predecessors and blocks successors, but even in front of this world-renowned King of Soldiers, he feels inadequate!
After retiring, Yi Yu embarked on a long journey in business. Relying on his skills, he gradually expanded his private enterprises and tapped into the economies of various countries. Later, during the period of reform and opening up, he provided significant economic support to the nation, helping it through difficult times.
After the reform and opening up, Yi Yu seemed to have evaporated into thin air; no one heard any news about him, and all his enterprises disappeared. Some said he never existed, while others claimed he had gone underground to continue serving the country.
This person was like a mystery—he arrived flamboyantly and left quietly, leaving no trace behind. However, for those like Mo Ming who had served in the military, there was a secret within the ranks that could not be shared with outsiders: the War God Yi Yu truly existed!
As for why Yi Yu chose to retreat from public life, Mo Ming was unsure. Hearing Death mention this name again left Mo Ming astonished, his inner shock beyond words.
"Yes, when I met him, he was only twenty-six years old. At that time, he had already retired from the military and started his business journey. I felt honored to have the opportunity to fight alongside him and eliminate all the bases of the Island Nation in China's secret territories!" Death said with admiration.
In this world, there were not many people whom Death admired; Yi Yu was one of them and ranked first. The second person was Mo Ming, the genius King of Soldiers, who possessed formidable strength and various skills!
When Death first encountered Yi Yu, he was on a mission from the government seeking Yi Yu's assistance. At that time, the Island Nation had sent numerous skilled agents to secretly establish bases with the intent to invade China once more.
Although Yi Yu had already retired at that time, upon receiving such news, he decisively agreed to cooperate with Death. Together they eradicated all of the Island Nation's bases in China and eliminated many skilled agents, making the Island Nation think twice before attempting any actions against China.
At that time, Death was just over twenty years old and already well-known in the military. Yet in front of a War God like Yi Yu, he felt like buried gold without a chance to shine.
However, Death was straightforward and lacked jealousy. He held no resentment towards Yi Yu's immense power; instead, he was filled with respect for him.
