After closing the Hunters' Association forum, Lin Huang fell into silence for a long time.
The appearance of Fu Minghan and Qi Hao put him under a lot of pressure.
Both of them were not considered outstanding among imperial-levels, but they were exceptionally talented in the cultivation of ancient methods.
He knew that there would be more people like Fu Minghan and Qi Hao in the future, or even more geniuses.
Lin Huang was depressed for a moment, but he soon returned to normal.
He logged in after clicking on the Evil Alliance.
The last time he logged out was on checkpoint 55 of the Stairway Tree. He was still at the same spot when he logged in this time.
Looking at the giant plants around him, Lin Huang knew that he was still in the Secret Forest.
Just when he was about to start killing monsters after confirming his location, the Evil Alliance's internal communication device rang all of a sudden.
He opened the communication page and saw that the caller was Chan Dou.
Lin Huang answered the call.
"What's up?"
"You're finally logged in. I haven't seen you for more than half a year." Chan Dou was still wearing a white shirt and a pair of black trousers, giving off the impression that he was a rich second-generation heir.
"I've been a little busy lately."
"I heard that your combat strength has improved quite a bit. How's it going? Which checkpoint do you plan to get to this time?" Chan Dou asked in anticipation.
"My target is checkpoint 63, but I don't know which checkpoint I'll be able to get to," Lin Huang said while smiling.
"It's great that you have a goal. Just work towards it," Chan Dou encouraged him.
"I don't think you called just to talk to me about this." Lin Huang faintly sensed that Chan Dou had something to say.
"You saw through me." Chan Dou smiled. "Nothing much. I'm just getting ready to elevate to imperial-level."
Naturally, Lin Huang knew what that meant. Elevating to imperial-level would mean that he would leave the Evil Alliance. Naturally, Chan Dou could no longer be the chief of the Heaven Alliance anymore.
"So sudden? Did something happen? "Chan Dou's sudden decision was out of Lin Huang's expectation.
"Actually, I've done most of the preparatory work over the past few years," Chan Dou said with a smile. "I chose to advance now because something happened."
Lin Huang blinked twice. He could roughly guess the reason.
"You'll know about this sooner or later, so there's no harm in me telling you now." Chan Dou did not plan to hide anything. "The Coalition government got a batch of ancient cultivation methods from somewhere some time ago. It's said that these methods can allow people to cultivate to virtual god-level directly. Now, many organizations and families are discussing this with the Coalition government."
"However, the Union government isn't willing to publicize the methods on a large scale. They're only going to let imperial-level cultivators try it out for the next two years, and each organization has a limited quota. My family also got a few spots, and one of the spots was reserved for me. However, I'll have to elevate to imperial-level before I can officially cultivate it. "
"Initially, I wasn't in a hurry. I thought that since I've reserved a slot, I could elevate to imperial-level in a year or so. However, some of the news that the Hunter Association had released recently had given the elders a sense of crisis. It was said that two of them only took less than a month to re-cultivate to holy fire-level. They thought there might be Virtual Gods born in a year or so. Therefore, they urged me to elevate to imperial-level as soon as possible and start cultivating the ancient methods. "
Lin Huang was speechless when he heard that. He did not expect Chan Dou, one of the Four Grand Dukes, to be influenced by his family.
He could tell that Chan Dou was not ready to elevate to imperial-level yet. Perhaps he had not found a Life Base monster that was compatible with him, or perhaps he had found one, but he was not confident that he could defeat it.
His family was pushing him beyond his means. It did not seem to affect him much, but it was disadvantageous to Chan Dou in the long run.
Although he was one of the Four Grand Dukes who was above all the immortal-levels, if he did not choose a Life Base monster, he might not even be able to keep his ranking in the top ten when he reached imperial-level, let alone being one of the Four Grand Dukes.
"I think you should try your best to drag it out. Don't mess up your rhythm." Lin Huang could only advise him that. He thought that Chan Dou's family's action of killing the goose that laid golden eggs was unacceptable. However, he was just an outsider, so it was not his place to comment on other people's family matters.
"I've been dragging it out for almost two months. There's no other way." Chan Dou shook his head and forced a smile helplessly. Naturally, he knew the consequences. "Forget it. Let's not talk about me."
"Try your best to get to checkpoint 63 this time. If you can do that, I'll recommend you to be the deputy chief of the Heaven Alliance."
"What?" Lin Huang was stunned to hear that.
"Since Tan Lang left before the New Year, the position of deputy chief was vacant. You've been on my shortlist since then. Tan Lang came to me later on and told me that your combat strength has elevated to immortal-level rank-3. You've become the first candidate for the position. If not for your low combat strength, I'd even give up the position of chief to you. " Chan Dou could not see Lin Huang's current combat strength because Lin Huang had blocked the display of his combat strength in the Evil Alliance.
"Speaking of which, what's your combat strength now? Immortal-level rank-4? "Chan Dou could not help but ask.
"Something like that." Lin Huang was afraid that he would scare Chan Dou if he told him, so he decided to keep it a secret. Afraid that Chan Dou would continue to ask, he changed the topic immediately. "Forget about being the deputy chief. I'm used to being lazy. It's good enough for me to be an ordinary member."
On one hand, he was really not interested in being the deputy chief of the Heaven Alliance. On the other hand, he knew that he would elevate to imperial-level soon. By then, he would leave the Evil Alliance automatically. Even if he accepted the position of deputy chief, he would not be able to hold it for long.
"Don't reject it. I've made up my mind." Chan Dou had made up his mind to drag Lin Huang down with him. "I'm just asking you to be an ordinary person. You'll just have to help out when necessary. The chief and the other deputy chiefs will handle the usual matters. "
"Alright then …" Lin Huang agreed to it reluctantly. He knew that Chan Dou would definitely not let it go if he did not agree to it. "When do you plan to elevate?"
"Within this month, I guess. I can't drag it any longer." Chan Dou forced a smile.
"Sure, I wish you success."
"Thank you, brother! The Heaven Alliance will depend on you guys from now on! "
Lin Huang felt sorry for Chan Dou after hanging up the call with him.
If Chan Dou had elevated his combat strength at his own pace, he would have been one of the top powerhouses among Virtual Gods when he elevated to Virtual God in the future. However, now that his cultivation pace was disrupted, it might be difficult for him to return to his peak in the future.
"A Golden-armored Boar is approaching!" Bloody spoke through voice transmission all of a sudden.
Lin Huang turned his head to look in the direction where the monster was coming from. His Territory had expanded to 7,000 meters, so he had sensed the boar's movement since the beginning.
"Let's start hunting then!"
Lin Huang snapped his fingers, summoning Bai and the rest of the imperial monsters.
