32: Chapter 32: The Old Martial God Personally Praises Them! The Entire Army is Shocked!
Of course, Marshal Yue's most well-known identity was that he was the master of that Marshal Chen Han.
It was he who had single-handedly trained the only legend to break through the Martial God Realm.
As far as Li Mo knew, he seemed to have not appeared in the world for nearly thirty years.
Because of this, many people even believed that Marshal Yue had probably passed away.
He had lived from before the Spirit Awakening until now. It could be said that however long he lived, that was the upper limit of a Martial God's lifespan.
Li Mo was very curious: why did he suddenly appear here?
Of course, that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that they were all saved.
The power of a Martial God was unquestionable. Even though the Wild Valley Mountain Range stretched across hundreds of kilometers, Marshal Yue Wuyun was able to precisely eliminate all the Black Death Group assassins in an instant.
Without even harming any other innocent people or even animals.
This kind of precise control was actually even more shocking than a large-scale attack!
It meant that as long as Marshal Yue Wuyun wished, he could probably easily level this entire mountain range!
The three of them, including Li Mo, looked up at Marshal Yue Wuyun in the sky. This great figure had protected the Great Xia for a full three hundred years.
However, he was old after all. His hair and beard were completely white, and his skin was withered, lacking the majestic and domineering appearance from the photos in the textbooks.
Just then, Marshal Yue Wuyun suddenly looked in the direction of the three members of the Moyu Squad and descended in front of them in an instant.
Li Mo and the other two did not expect Marshal Yue Wuyun to suddenly come over. Flattered and overwhelmed, they hurriedly said, "Greetings, Marshal Yue!"
Such a figure at the very top of the pyramid put on no airs in front of three recruits. Instead, he smiled and said, "There is no need for such formalities. This old man has been retired for many years and is no longer part of The Military's active service. You can just call me Old Yue."
Li Mo's lips twitched. What a joke! Let alone the three of them as recruits, even the current marshal of the Great Xia military would have to respectfully call Marshal Yue Wuyun "Elder Yue"!
If they actually called him "Old Yue", the three of them would probably be singled out tomorrow for a public criticism meeting!
After some thought, Li Mo decided to address him with the most intimate term: "Thank you for saving our lives, Grandpa Yue."
If Marshal Yue Wuyun had not come, the three of them would have truly been in grave danger just now.
Marshal Yue Wuyun laughed heartily. "It's nothing! It's only right! You young people are the hope of the future. This is all we old geezers can do."
Speaking of which, Marshal Yue Wuyun suddenly sized Li Mo up. "You must be that kid named Li Mo, right? The one who broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in just a month."
Li Mo nodded slightly.
Marshal Yue Wuyun immediately praised, "Good job! You didn't disgrace our Great Xia soldiers!"
Although this was just a simple word of praise, if others were to hear it, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
With Marshal Yue Wuyun's current status, he ranked at least in the top five within the entire Great Xia nation, in terms of both strength and status.
Even looking at the entire world, he was a figure capable of causing landslides and tsunamis.
A single word from him could sometimes even determine the appointment of national leaders!
Similarly, with this casual remark of his, even if Li Mo's realm never advanced again and he did nothing at all, he could still enjoy a meteoric rise in The Military!
Just then, Li Mo saw some figures approaching from the distance. Looking closely, it was actually General Qin Fei leading Zhang Ruxue and a group of other officers.
The moment they saw Marshal Yue Wuyun, their expressions turned to utter shock.
General Qin Fei even took the lead in kneeling before Marshal Yue Wuyun.
"Greetings, Marshal Yue!"
A lieutenant general even had to perform a kneeling salute to Marshal Yue Wuyun, which showed how high Marshal Yue Wuyun's status was.
Marshal Yue Wuyun made a pained expression, seemingly detesting these tedious formalities.
He had been retired for nearly two centuries, yet those in The Military still revered him immensely whenever they saw him.
Zhang Ruxue also let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that the three of them were completely unharmed.
At this time, General Qin Fei respectfully said to Marshal Yue, "Marshal Yue, why didn't you inform us in advance of your arrival? I could have prepared a welcoming feast for you! Otherwise, if Marshal Zhao finds out, he will say I neglected you!"
"A welcoming feast?"
Marshal Yue Wuyun glanced at General Qin Fei, his expression turning somewhat displeased.
"Welcoming feast indeed! If I had arrived even a step later, these little fellows would have been in mortal danger! What on earth are you all doing? Can't you even protect a group of children?"
These words made General Qin Fei feel extremely ashamed, but in reality, this was not his responsibility. He had only been preparing the recruit trial grounds and rewards according to The Military's orders.
The recruits being ambushed and attacked this time was entirely because a mole had appeared within The Military.
But in front of Marshal Yue Wuyun, General Qin Fei did not dare to shirk responsibility.
"Marshal Yue, I admit my negligence. I will immediately apply to the organization for punishment."
"Forget it!"
Marshal Yue Wuyun waved his hand. He also understood that the main responsibility did not lie with General Qin Fei. Besides, he had been retired for so long and had long stopped interfering in internal military affairs.
Unless it was a matter of national survival, he generally would not show his face again.
Next, Marshal Yue Wuyun looked at Li Mo again, actually praising him once more in front of all the officers.
"This kid is really not bad! Facing enemies several times stronger than himself, he actually refused to surrender even to the death. What great integrity!"
"Compared to his talent, this backbone is the true military soul of our Great Xia! As the times have progressed to this point, not only have many spineless cowards appeared in our military, but there are even those who collude with the enemy and commit treason. When I was in command of The Military, such things were virtually impossible!"
Then, Marshal Yue Wuyun looked at Li Mo, a hint of nostalgia appearing in his eyes for some reason.
"This child has the look of Marshal Chen Han back in the day!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present paled in shock.
If Marshal Yue Wuyun's previous words were just ordinary praise, then this sentence was the greatest affirmation for Li Mo!
"Marshal Chen Han! Who was he?!"
"If Marshal Yue Wuyun was the living fossil of The Military, then Marshal Chen Han was practically the god of The Military!"
"No, to be precise, he was the god of the entire Great Xia!"
"He was the hero who saved humanity. Without Marshal Chen Han, perhaps today's world would not exist."
"Just the strength of being the only one to break through the Martial God Realm made him the only person and the very first person in the three-hundred-year history of the New Calendar!"
"More importantly, Marshal Yue Wuyun was Marshal Chen Han's master!"
"For him to say such words made it even more shocking!"
"For a moment, everyone's eyes simultaneously turned to look at Li Mo."
"They understood that from the moment Marshal Yue Wuyun spoke these words, Li Mo's future was already boundless."
"Just then, everyone watched as Marshal Yue Wuyun suddenly took out a long spear."
"This long spear had a metallic texture all over, with many lifelike and incredibly exquisite golden dragons carved on its shaft. What was even more amazing was that the entire spear faintly emitted a five-colored divine light, proving its extraordinariness."
"The five-colored divine light was a glow that only boundless grade divine weapons could emit."
"It was said that when craftsmen forged divine weapons, they would throw in many different kinds of ores. If these ores harmonized well with each other, the five-colored divine light would appear when they were finally forged into weapons, which became the hallmark of boundless grade divine weapons."
"And the long spear in Marshal Yue Wuyun's hand was precisely one of the fewer than ten boundless grade divine weapons in the entire world, named the jingdi spear!"
