Marvel Superheroes in China

Why?

Qin Wu doesn't have any particularly outstanding abilities, so why do these two big shots value him so much?

The grandmaster even said that it should be retrieved from the place where it was lost.

This statement was undoubtedly a verdict for everyone: "Qin Wu is my man, Lu Acai's man!"

General Zhao was so anxious he was almost in tears. If he had known earlier that Qin Wu was Lu Acai's man, he would have risked his life to rescue Qin Wu from the tiger-dragon's mouth.

"This this……"

General Zhao raised his head and looked at Lu Acai in the sky with a look of horror.

Lu Acai, dressed in a white robe, looked down at the crowd with an expressionless face, as if he, Lu Acai, was the 087th day in this Dawn City!

Lu Acai's appearance immediately drew a bow from everyone present.

Chen Baima quickly regained his senses, clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice, "Welcome, Grandmaster!"

Immediately afterwards, the crowd, who had been stunned, hurriedly followed Chen Baima's example, bowing and shouting, "Welcome, Grandmaster!"

Nearly ten thousand people on the street all made the same gesture and said the same words.

The scene was incredibly grand and magnificent. The shout of "Welcome Grandmaster!" resounded like thunder from the heavens throughout Dawn City, making everyone's scalp tingle.

Everyone looked tense, waiting for Lu Acai's reaction.

General Zhao, in particular, had already knelt down under Lu Acai's terrifying authority, his hands supporting him on the ground with his head drooping, almost burying his head in his crotch, showing how scared and nervous he was.

Lu Acai, suspended in mid-air, looked down at General Zhao and slowly said, "I told you to go find someone, so why are you still kneeling here?"

As she spoke, Lu Acai subtly released a bit of her imposing aura.

"Om-"

Everyone on the street suddenly felt a pressure as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on them from behind.

Everyone's face turned deathly pale. Countless martial artists with low cultivation levels were simply unable to withstand the pressure. They knelt down one after another with a thud, panting heavily, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, their eyes filled with terror!

The majesty of a grandmaster is not to be trifled with!

Of everyone present, only Chen Baima could withstand the pressure; everyone else was kneeling on the ground. Even Iron Man, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear the terrifying pressure and collapsed to his knees with a thud, panting heavily.

He hadn't expected that a Grandmaster of the highest rank would come today!

He thought that after a year of cultivation, he had broken through to the inner strength level and was already a genius, but when he saw Lu Acai, he realized how insignificant he was.

He even considered having a match with Qin Wu.

Ah.

Iron Man gave a bitter smile on his pale face and thought to himself, "Qin Wu, Qin Wu, who exactly are you? Even a Grandmaster of the Upper Rank is backing you up. What else do you have that no one else knows?"

In fact, everyone present except Chen Baima had the same thought as Iron Man. They were all curious about who Qin Wu was and why a mere internal energy could make a master of the upper-level realm (cccc) care so much.

Lu Acai's booming voice reached everyone's ears, startling everyone on the street. They all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound, and could only breathe softly, for fear of offending this big shot.

General Zhao, having unleashed his full power and barely withstood the pressure, looked up and saw...

General Zhao's face was completely bloodless, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were cracked, and his body was trembling slightly.

Swallowing hard, General Zhao replied in a trembling voice, "Replying to Grandmaster, it's not that I didn't want to go, but Qin Wu is already dead."

"died!"

Lu Acai's expression changed. His previously expressionless face suddenly hardened, and an inexplicable anger surged to his head. He stared in disbelief at General Zhao on the ground and roared, "He's actually dead?!"

Lu Acai hadn't been this angry in many years. His eyes widened, a hint of anger flashing across his slightly pale face, and his brows furrowed. He hadn't expected Qin Wu to die so soon after arriving in this world. He couldn't believe it. With Qin Wu's talent, how could he die so inexplicably? Moreover, the leader of this team was General Zhao, a master of the Gang Jin realm. How could he allow such a thing to happen?

Lu Acai was angry, and no one dared to speak. Just like before, they lowered their heads and dared not even breathe. They felt the pressure on them increase. Everyone was sweating profusely. At the same time, a question arose in the minds of countless people.

"Who exactly is Qin Wu?"

After a long while, Lu Acai calmed down a bit. He felt that this matter was not so simple. How could a perfectly healthy person just suddenly disappear?

Manipulating his body, he slowly descended from the air in front of General Zhao.

General Zhao was practically prostrating himself in awe. When he felt a figure land in front of him and saw the pair of white shoes, his pupils contracted and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

Before General Zhao could speak, Lu Acai in front of him asked coldly, "How did you die?"

General Zhao froze, his body hunched over, and said in a trembling voice, "It was...it was killed by the Tiger Flood Dragon. At the time, in order to escape the pressure of the Dimensional Grandmaster, our group was scattered by the Tiger Flood Dragon. Qin Wu happened to be blocked. Later, we went back to look for him, but the Tiger Flood Dragon was gone, and Qin Wu was gone too. There wasn't even a body..."

.......

Chapter 171: Getting Further and Further Away

Tiger dragon?

Upon hearing this, Lu Acai's eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately became nervous.

He knew about the Tiger Flood Dragon. This beast lived underwater all year round and its cultivation level was close to that of the Gang Jin realm. Once entangled by this beast, those without the Gang Jin cultivation level basically had no chance of escape.

"Qin Wu has been entangled by the tiger-dragon?"

Lu Acai frowned and muttered to herself.

Chen Baima, standing behind him, was also startled upon hearing the words "Tiger Flood Dragon." This creature possessed immense strength and a voracious appetite for man-eating; even he found it difficult to deal with, let alone Qin Wu. His expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly stepped behind Lu Acai, anxiously saying, "Grandmaster, if Qin Wu gets entangled with this Tiger Flood Dragon, his chances of survival are slim. However, this Tiger Flood Dragon usually doesn't like to show itself. It's likely that the forest riot caused by the Grandmaster's imposing presence just now forced it to appear, and Qin Wu just happened to run into it. That's probably how it happened."

Chen Baima's explanation was very clear, and he knew what had happened today. If you think about it carefully, it's not hard to guess what happened.

Upon hearing this, Lu Acai frowned, pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. You've seen what Qin Wu is like before. This kid is incredibly intelligent. Although his cultivation is at the Inner Strength level, Inner Strength is almost invincible. I don't believe that Qin Wu was killed by the Tiger Flood Dragon just like that."

But the onlookers thought differently. If they were entangled by the tiger-dragon, how long would it take for them to die?

Then, many passersby looked at Lu Acai and advised, "Master, that Qin Wu kid was just a junior internal energy cultivator. He's dead, so what? Why be so upset?"

"That's right. Besides, if you get entangled by the tiger-dragon, you're doomed. Grandmaster, let's just forget about it."

"There are so many human martial artists, and there's no shortage of talented individuals. As for Grandmasters, forget it."

"Grandmaster..."

Lu Acai grew increasingly annoyed as she listened, her face growing more and more unpleasant. She raised her hand to stop the passerby from advising her.

He still couldn't believe that a genius martial artist would die at the hands of a demon beast. If he could be properly nurtured, Qin Wu would definitely become a grandmaster within the next ten years or so, which would be a major fighting force for humanity! How could Lu Acai give up on such a genius so easily?

The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off, but to be honest, Lu Acai had a vague sense of foreboding.

After a long pause, Lu Acai raised her head slightly, looked at the worried passersby, and angrily rebuked them: "If Qin Wu is unharmed this time, humanity will have another Grandmaster in more than ten years!"

At that moment, the people from the Armed Forces Bureau who were registering the list of enemies killed in the council hall heard Lu Acai's angry roar.

They froze for a moment, and the men in uniforms began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Hey, Grandmaster? Should we register?"

"There's no need for that. Haven't you heard what others are saying? Qin Wu has already been entangled by the tiger dragon and is definitely dead. There's no point in ranking him second."

"That's true. Never mind, where is Master Li Zelie, the one who just killed a dimensional Qi cultivator? His ranking on the Quasi-Grandmaster list is getting closer!"

Upon hearing this, the old man who had fought so fiercely earlier walked out of the crowd with a smile on his face and came to the people from the Armed Forces Bureau.

Upon seeing Li Zelie, the person from the Armed Forces Bureau felt a surge of admiration and said respectfully, "Congratulations! You've moved five places closer to the Quasi-Grandmaster ranking; you're now number 9!"

……

Changing her tone, Lu Acai turned to Chen Baima and the others and said coldly, "Fine, I'll go find it myself."

After speaking, Lu Acai pushed off with both legs and soared into the sky. Then, like a white streak of light, she flew out of Dawn City and headed straight south.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, looking at each other with puzzled expressions.

"What did the Grandmaster just say? Qin Wu became a Grandmaster in just over ten years?"

"Ha, how could that be? How old is he? I'm forty and still have internal strength. Even if Qin Wu were to ride a rocket, he couldn't possibly become a grandmaster so quickly."

"Alas, a genius has fallen just like that, what a pity."

Lu Acai's departure caused everyone on the streets of Dawn City to breathe a sigh of relief, as the pressure on their bodies immediately eased, and everyone's face was filled with an expression of great ease.

Chen Baima seemed to agree with this as well. Looking at General Zhao, who was still kneeling on the ground, Chen Baima felt relieved. In the end, it couldn't be blamed on him. It was just that Qin Wu was unlucky. Of all places to go, he had to run to the very back of the group and get stopped by this tiger-dragon.

"I hope good fortune will come to those who are virtuous."

Chen Baima sighed inwardly, then slowly stepped forward and helped General Zhao to his feet.

"Old Zhao, this isn't your fault, it was all ordained by fate..."

While supporting the still-shaken General Zhao, Chen Baima comforted him, saying, "Don't blame yourself too much. I know you did your best."

General Zhao looked at Chen Baima with tears of gratitude, choking up and unable to speak.

Chen Baima glanced at the crowd, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, disperse. There's nothing to see here. Old Zhao, go inside. The people inside are waiting to receive the new recruits and hold a meeting. Don't delay the mission."

Chen Baima's words caused the onlookers to slowly disperse. To be honest, Qin Wu's life or death had nothing to do with them; they were just curious about who this person was.

Led by Chen Baima, the group made its way step by step toward the council hall in Dawn City.

……

Meanwhile, Qin Wu, having escaped the jaws of the tiger-dragon, plunged into the dense jungle, searching aimlessly.

Qin Wu was in a terrible state. He was soaking wet and his face was covered in mud and grime, making him look filthy. From a distance, all you could see were the whites of his eyes. You could imagine how miserable he looked.

As Qin Wu walked through the forest, he thought to himself, "Why am I so unlucky? How could I be blocked by a demonic beast?"
