Chapter 74 - Interview
If most people felt that the level of the preliminaries was too low and not worth looking at, then after tens of thousands of participating martial artists passed through nine consecutive rounds of competition, those who could remain were definitely the elites of the elites. All of them were experts, and the competition was naturally much more exciting than the preliminaries.
Therefore, before the first day of the final stage began, the venue of the competition had already been completely filled by the audience gathered from all over West Cloud Planet, the surrounding galaxies, and even the surrounding countries.
Apart from the ordinary audience, the various major media outlets of the Earth Federation also sent out a large number of reporting teams to track the final stage.
At the same time, the various countries around the Earth Federation also sent many media representatives.
Of course, the media of these other countries were mainly focused on reporting the martial artists of their countries who had entered the finals. They would also report other situations of the martial arts competition. The private car of West Cloud Academy had just arrived at the competition venue. Before Chu Nan could get out of the car, he was shocked by the swarming audience and the various media representatives.
As a famous martial arts academy on West Cloud Planet, the West Cloud Academy had sent 15 students to participate in the martial arts competition this time. In the end, only two students entered the final stages of the adult group and the Under-20 category respectively. Their results were actually not good.
However, they were still martial artists from the Earth Federation after all. The audience of the Earth Federation would still give them great support.
When the audience that surged over saw Chu Nan and the fourth-year senior who had entered the finals of the adult group get out of the car, a deafening cheer immediately erupted.
This terrifying commotion stunned Chu Nan.
Fortunately, the organization work of the martial arts competition was very good. It had long opened up a special channel for these participants.
Under the guidance of the staff, the private car of West Cloud Academy successfully entered the competition venue.
Although they could dodge ordinary spectators, the reporters with special channels were different.
As soon as they entered the competition area, the reporters who had received special approval from the organizing committee surrounded them.
When he saw those reporters rushing over with ferocious expressions, Fang Yuesheng, the fourth-year senior who represented West Cloud Academy in the final stage of the adult group, chuckled and patted Chu Nan’s shoulder.
“Chu Nan, be careful.”
After saying that, before Chu Nan could react, his figure flashed and he retreated to the side.
As expected, those reporters completely abandoned Fang Yuesheng, who had entered the final stage of the adult group, and surrounded Chu Nan.
“Chu Nan, do you have any thoughts about being able to enter the final stage of the group competition below the age of 20?”
“Chu Nan, according to the information, you’re only a low-level Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist, but you can defeat several Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists in a row in the preliminaries. Can you tell us how you did it?”
“Student Chu Nan, according to the investigation, your performance in the second grade of West Cloud Academy has always been very ordinary. Why can you perform so well now? Did you deliberately hide your strength previously?”
“Chu Nan…”
“Chu Nan, Mu Yutong and Norman expressed at the same time that it’s almost impossible for you to become stronger than a Void Break Martial Artist in the future. What do you think about this?”
When they heard this question, the noisy figures beside Chu Nan instantly disappeared. All the reporters turned around and looked at the reporter who asked this question with unkind expressions.
This question was actually the true reason why these reporters paid so much attention to Chu Nan, a participating martial artist under the age of 20.
Otherwise, even if Chu Nan had entered the final stage with the strength of a low-level Overlord Body and was indeed worth paying attention to, it was not worth so many reporters fighting
However, shouldn’t he ask this question after the interview?
If Chu Nan was dissatisfied and turned hostile after hearing this question, wouldn’t their efforts be in vain?
However, the reporter acted as if he did not see the unkind gazes of his peers. He continued to ask, “Two Star-Grade Martial Artists made the same judgment about you and felt that your future achievements would not be high. Are you dissatisfied with their judgment?”
Sa
The other reporters were immediately jolted.
Logically speaking, since two Star-Grade Martial Artists had made the judgment at the same time, it was definitely an undeniable fact. This meant that the highest achievement in Chu Nan’s life could indeed only be to become a low-level Void Break Martial Artist. The most likely possibility was to stay in the Internal Breath Realm for life.
Even if Chu Nan was unwilling to accept this, it was impossible for him to refute the judgment of the two Star-Grade Martial Artists.
However… what the reporters wanted was for Chu Nan to rebuke them.
If he could lose his temper in front of the reporters and even curse at the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, that would be the news they needed the most.
Facing the burning gazes of the reporters, Chu Nan did not show any anger or dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and nodded at the reporter who asked the question.
“Displeased? Why should I be dissatisfied? It’s my honor to be able to obtain the attention of two Star-Grade Martial Artists and gain their recognition. They even personally made a judgment.”
The reporter who raised the question frowned slightly and immediately asked, “Those two Star-Grade Martial Artists feel that it’s very likely that you won’t even be able to become a Void Break Martial Artist in the future. Do you agree?”
The other reporters secretly praised this reporter.
What they needed the most now was for Chu Nan to give a clear attitude.
Chu Nan smiled and asked, “What does it matter if I agree or disagree?”
That reporter was stunned, “Of course it matters. If you agree, does that mean that you’ll give up on continuing to cultivate martial techniques? After all, your future achievements are limited. If you don’t agree, shouldn’t you… have some other thoughts?”
Chu Nan shrugged, “Those are two Star-Grade Martial Artists. My thoughts are not important in front of them, right?”
The reporters frowned at the same time.
They originally thought that Chu Nan was only an ordinary student who was not even 20 years old. When faced with their situation, he would definitely be flustered. Coupled with the fact that two Star-Grade Martial Artists had directly sentenced his martial artist future to death in an exclusive interview, he would definitely be dissatisfied and would definitely reveal some emotions.
Who knew that he would be like an old hand who often faced the reporters? It was really unexpected that he did not show any flaws that others could grab hold of.
“Chu Nan, Supremacy Mu Yutong has expressed that with your talent, you actually have the chance to become a powerful Heaven Control expert, or even the next Star-Grade Martial Artist. However, because of the selfishness of those martial arts families in the federation, you were unable to come into contact with sufficient martial techniques from a young age. As a result, you missed the best opportunity to lay the foundation, causing your future achievements to be limited. Do you have any complaints towards those martial arts families in the federation because of this?” a reporter suddenly asked.
Hearing this question, the surrounding reporters looked over in shock.
This reporter was really daring to ask such a question publicly at such an occasion. Moreover, he had bad intentions.
If Chu Nan was really dissatisfied with those martial arts families in the federation, by revealing it here, it would show that he supported Mu Yutong’s view.
According to the recent actions of Supremacy Mu Yutong and the federation government, they were undoubtedly targeting the martial arts families of the federation.
Chu Nan jumping out at this moment was simply asking for trouble.
Those martial arts families could not do anything to Mu Yutong, a Star-Grade Martial Artist, and it was even more difficult for them to resist the federation government. However, it was very easy for them to deal with an ordinary martial artist like Chu Nan.
Chu Nan glanced at the reporter and slowly shook his head.
“You might not know this, but I’ve actually started cultivating the Nine Revolutions Technique since I was young. This is a powerful Internal Breath cultivation method left behind by Senior Su Xuansheng. I don’t think its power needs to be doubted. However, despite cultivating the Nine Revolutions Technique, I’ve yet to break through to the Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. This proves that my martial arts talent is actually only limited to this, and it has nothing to do with cultivation methods.”
At this point, Chu Nan paused for a moment and turned around. His gaze swept past all the reporters.
“I’ve seen Supremacy Mu Yutong and Supremacy Norman’s evaluation of me. I’m very grateful that the two great Star-Grade Martial Artists have such a high evaluation of me. I’m deeply honored by this. However, it’s a pity that my martial arts talent is actually not as high as they say. The reason why I haven’t been able to build a good foundation until now and prepare myself to become a powerful martial artist in the future is completely due to my own reasons and has nothing to do with anything else. I thank the two Star-Grade Martial Artists for their attention and everyone’s concern for me. However, now, please focus your gazes on this martial arts competition. Thank you.”
After saying this, Chu Nan bowed slightly to the reporters and turned to leave.
The group of reporters looked at Chu Nan’s departing figure and were stunned. They did not have the intention to pursue him.
This kid actually replied so flawlessly!
Was he really below 20 years old?
