1102 The Five Princes Are An Era (2/2)

Just when he stood up, Jian Fei and the media representative doing the interview, Xu Qingya, arrived at the same time.

Xu Qingya recognized Guan Zhong right away. A shocked expression flashed through her eyes when he saw Lin Huang who was sitting there nonchalantly drinking his coffee.

Seeing Guan Zhong leave with his takeaway coffee, Xu Qingya and Jian Fei walked straight towards Lin Huang.

”Hi, Mr. Lin. My name is Xu Qingya. I'm the reporter from The Pioneer.” Xu Qingya walked to the table and introduced herself.

”Please take a seat.” Lin Huang lifted his head and observed her in silence.

Xu Qingya had neat, short hair. She looked very experienced. She did not dress very formally or too casually. It was just right.

Jian Fei, on the other hand, dressed in a formal suit. He looked like he was getting married.

Lin Huang would definitely tease him any other day, but he thought about it and said nothing since Xu Qingya was next to him.

After Xu Qingya and Jian Fei took their seats, they ordered two cups of coffee and the interview began.

”I'd like to start the interview by congratulating Mr. Lin for breaking the Stairway Tree record. Today is the biggest historical moment the Genius Union has ever had since it was founded.”

”Thanks.” Lin Huang nodded courteously.

”Mr. Lin, can you tell me your current combat strength?” Xu Qingya went into working mode.

”Immortal-level rank-9. Many people in the Heaven Alliance know about this.” Naturally, it was impossible that Lin Huang would say that he was on immortal-level rank-10. Since he had immortal-level aura anyway, nobody could tell if he was on rank-9 or 10.

”You've gotten to immortal-level rank-9 so soon? From what we know, Mr. Lin, you were only on holy flame-level last year. Am I right?” Xu Qingya had been wanting to ask that for a very long time. She could finally ask him face-to-face now.

”Indeed, my combat strength elevation speed is faster than the rest. If you want a solid reason, I can only say that I have rather good luck.” Lin Huang created an excuse for himself.

In reality, Xu Qingya was dissatisfied with the answer. However, since he clearly did not want to answer the question, she gave up instead of dwelling on it, figuring it might be his cultivation secret.

”Mr. Lin, since you're already on immortal-level rank-9, you're close to imperial-level now. When do you plan to elevate?”

”I just told Old Jian about this a few days ago. I'll take at least a month or at the most, 40 to 50 days. I'm almost done with the preparation,” Lin Huang told her directly.

”Does that mean you'll withdraw from the Genius Union and the Heaven Alliance automatically a month later?” Although Xu Qingya was not a Genius Union member, she had studied the system before.

”Yes.”

Jian Fei took over the conversation as soon as he heard that. ”Deputy Chief Lin did indeed discuss his elevation with us a few days ago. We've already come up with a new Deputy Chief candidate list together. However, even though he's leaving the Genius Union, Deputy Chief Lin will be a part of our the Heaven Alliance forever. Chief Chan has said this before. Every Heaven Alliance member is family. It's a fact that will never change even if someone were to leave the Genius Union.”

”I heard Mr. Lin and Mr. Chan are pretty close in private. Is that true?”

”We're pretty close,” Lin Huang confirmed while grinning. ”Boss Chan is a charming man with character. He's always cared for me. I'm fortunate to be working with him.”

”Many people on the Internet say that the Five Princes are out of date now. They say there's only one name among the most powerful young generation, and that name is Lin Xie. What do you think of that?”

”First of all, I don't think I'm the No. 1 powerhouse of the young generation. All people see is the number of checkpoints I've broken through on the Stairway Tree. I don't think it means anything.”

”'Powerful' is a word with broad meaning. Having powerful ability is just a part of it. Some people might be more powerful than me on the inside, some people might be more intelligent than me, some people might have willpower that's stronger than mine. Being called a powerful person is just a shallow title.”

”About the Five Princes, I don't think the Five Princes are just about Boss Chan and the other four. They're the sign of a new era, one that encourages us to look up and fight. This era is one it itself, irreplacable.
