Marvel Superheroes in China

"Roar--"

"Master... he actually became number one on the Earth Ranking!"

Even Zhang Yixing was dumbfounded. He felt it was all unreal. He was practicing martial arts just fine, so how could there suddenly be news that his master had become the number one on the Earth Ranking? But how long has it been? Where did his master go?!

Before Zhang Yixing could even react in shock, all the disciples of Xingyi School stood ramrod straight, cupped their hands in a fist salute, and shouted in unison:

"Congratulations, Master, on taking first place on the weighbridge!"

"Congratulations, Master, on reaching the top of the Earthly Ranking!"

"Congratulations……"

This heroic shout was earth-shattering, and everyone in the Xingyi School heard it.

Every Xingyi Sect disciple's face was filled with pride. After more than half a year of decline, Xingyi Sect had finally raised its head again!

After a long while, Natasha finally came to her senses. Her beautiful eyes were already quite red, with a crystal-clear tear welling up inside. Her nose was also red, making her look pitiful.

Li Qiushui felt really bad seeing this and comforted her, "Master's wife, please don't worry too much. If Master saw you like this, he would definitely beat me to death. Besides, isn't it a good thing that Master has become number one on the Earth Ranking? We should be happy for him. Our Xingyi Sect's founder is number one on the Earth Ranking, so our peers will definitely respect us even more in the future. Moreover, after this matter came out, Xingyi Sect will definitely not have peace every day. We need to prepare in advance, Master's wife."

Li Qiushui's words were very reasonable. The founder of Xingyi School had not been seen for half a year, and his reappearance shocked the whole country. A person who had been removed from the Earth Ranking had actually reappeared on the Earth Ranking, and was even number one.

Such explosive news could not possibly go unnoticed by martial artists across the country.

Unbeknownst to the two, Chun City was already completely surrounded by various modes of transportation, and was in chaos. Countless artists, celebrities, and business tycoons were rushing to Chun City, eager to catch a glimpse of the honor of the number one on the Earth Ranking.

For Leng Ruxiang, he had been dominating the Earth Ranking for years, and everyone was used to it. Now, Qin Wu suddenly appeared and actually suppressed Leng Ruxiang, who had been the number one on the Earth Ranking for a long time. How could this not shock everyone?

After hearing Li Qiushui's words, Natasha burst into laughter through her tears...

While wiping away tears, she nodded and smiled, "Yes, we should be happy. My brother has been cultivating for half a year and has gone out to gain experience. He hasn't even returned yet, and he's already bringing us such good news. We're happy, yes, very happy."

This incident finally put Natasha's mind at ease after half a year of worry. For so long, she had rarely smiled, but now, a long-lost, genuine smile finally appeared on Natasha's face. As Qin Wu's top disciple, Li Qiushui was naturally happy as well.

"Master's first place win indirectly tells everyone that he is still alive and well."

A smile played on Li Qiushui's lips, and a sense of pride crept onto his face. He secretly vowed that since his master was already so powerful, he, as his eldest disciple, should naturally continue to improve.

Li Qiushui looked up into the distance, her expression grave, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Master, one day I will catch up with you!"

Just then, a doorman ran over, sweating profusely and looking extremely nervous.

"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! Master's wife! Senior brother! Something terrible has happened..."

Upon hearing this shout, everyone in the courtyard immediately stopped what they were doing.

Li Qiushui quickly snapped out of her daze, frowned, and stepped forward, her tone somewhat angry:

"What's wrong? Did a ghost chase you?"

Natasha quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

The doorman glanced at the two of them, panting heavily, then turned and pointed towards the door.

"The door...there are so many people outside!"

Upon hearing this, Natasha's brows immediately furrowed:

"So many people have come? What's going on? It's not a holiday or anything."

Li Qiushui said with a half-smile, "What else could they be doing? It's because Master has reappeared on the Earth Ranking, so they're coming to our Xingyi Sect to pay their respects."

Upon hearing this, Natasha paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Let's go take a look."

Chapter 224: Just an Ordinary Person Again

Chunshan Mountain in Chuncheng, at the foot of Xingyi Gate.

Countless luxury cars were parked there, stretching as far as the eye could see. And right now, many cars and pedestrians were still approaching Chunshan. The entire Chunshan was completely surrounded. Some people even parked their cars in the middle of the road because there were no parking spaces available, disregarding the rules and ignoring the tickets they would receive.

Countless people flocked to the area, filling all the highways leading to Chuncheng, the airport, and the trains to capacity.

After a six-month hiatus, Chuncheng has once again topped the trending search list. The reason is simple: Qin Wu has taken the top spot on the Chuncheng hot search list!

Half a year later, Qin Wu, who became famous on the Earth Ranking back then, has now surprised countless people by ousting Leng Ruxiang, who had long held the top spot on the Earth Ranking. How could such exciting news not cause a stir in Chuncheng?

But at the same time, a question arose in everyone's mind.

"Where did Qin Wu kill so many martial artists? Where did he go? What has he been doing for the past six months?"

Numerous questions, like a cloud of doubt, surrounded Chuncheng, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

Just as the Armaments Bureau announced the unexpected upset, the entire Chuncheng instantly became the focus of the nation.

Countless business tycoons and corporate stars flocked to Chuncheng, all hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary Qin Wu.

"hiss--"

"They actually killed 4 Qi Refining experts, 15 Transcendent Realm experts, and 7 Inner Strength experts—more than twenty martial artists in total! Where did so many martial artists come from? And what's this S-grade alloy? What is S-grade alloy? Is it more valuable than diamonds?"

"I don't know where he went or what he did, but one gram of this S-grade alloy is equivalent to 10 carats of the world's best diamonds. How much do you think it's worth?"

"what?!"

The entire Chunshan Mountain, from the entrance of Xingyi Gate to the road at the foot of the mountain, was filled with uniform black heads, a dense, overwhelming mass.

Everyone wore expressions of excitement and anticipation. In order to see Qin Wu in person, some of them even went so far as to spend a lot of money to buy the best spot, which was right at the entrance of the Xingyi Sect.

They knew that if Qin Wu returned, he would definitely appear at the gate immediately. If they could win over such a legendary figure, who in all of China would not know him?

With the number one spot on the local rankings as a backer, who in the business or entertainment world would dare to oppose him?!

"Zhao Ming, Chairman of Chuncheng Fortune First Tower, congratulates Qin Wu, the head of Xingyi School, on winning first place and presents him with one hundred taels of gold and three million in cash!"

"Su Youde, Chairman of Chuncheng Sulin Electric Appliances, congratulates Qin Wu, the head of Xingyi School, on winning first place on the weighbridge! He is hereby presenting a cash gift of five million!"

"Zhongshi Petrochemical Chairman Dai Houliang congratulates Qin Wu, the head of Xingyi School, on reaching the top of the Earthly Ranking! He hereby presents him with one hundred taels of gold and ten million in cash!"

"Wang Shulin, Chairman of Wanda Group, congratulates Qin Wu, the master of Xingyi School, on reaching the top of the Earth Ranking! He is hereby gifting him a seaside villa and ten million yuan in cash!"

……

From the moment the good news started at the door, the announcements never stopped. From 6 a.m. until noon, four or five different people came to announce the good news, their voices hoarse from shouting, all for the sake of earning a few thousand yuan more.

These business tycoons and celebrities are not short of money at all. As long as you shout, you can get a thousand dollars. The louder you shout, the more money you get.

The deliveryman, who had never seen such a good thing before, was so eager to earn the money that he was willing to risk his life for it.

Those at the foot of the mountain were probably not so lucky. Most of them were "ordinary people" who were already doing well just to enter Chun City. They all looked worried and could only watch the various big shots above from afar.

"I've been waiting since six o'clock in the morning, and they won't even let me go up the mountain. I cried."

"Me too! Look at who's up there! They're all prominent business tycoons, willing to go bankrupt just to see Qin Wu in person!"

"Where do you think Qin Wu killed so many people? Gang Jin experts! My God, I can't even imagine it, and there were so many Transcendent Realm experts too. Where did he go?"

"Are there really so many martial artists? Where are they?"

"It must be a mysterious and powerful place, otherwise why would so many martial artists appear there?"

From time to time, complaints and doubts could be heard from the foot of the mountain, but they were still quite excited. Every pair of eyes, filled with fervor, was fixed on the Xingyi Gate on the mountain, and they had only one question in their minds.

Where exactly did Qin Wu go?

……

Chairman Tsubaki's office.

"Hahaha, great! Chuncheng hasn't been this lively in a long time. Half a year ago, rumors spread that Qin Wu had disappeared, and many people thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, after half a year, Qin Wu has reappeared, and this time he has even topped the Earth Ranking! Great! Great!"

Chairman Chuncheng was beaming, his excitement evident in his voice, which was filled with fervor.

The secretary, standing to the side, also wore an excited smile. He was very curious about Qin Wu. What kind of person was he? How could he have killed so many martial artists? Where had he gone? He had been gone for half a year, which didn't make sense.

"Chairman, judging from this situation, Chuncheng's GDP is going to increase many times over! Today, I've received calls from many places, hotels, guesthouses, and even the main streets are full of people sleeping. Airfares and train tickets to Chuncheng are hundreds of times more expensive than before. In less than a day, tickets have already sold out for a week in advance! Chairman, congratulations! But what I'm curious about is, where did Qin Wu go? How could he kill both Transcendent Realm and Gang Jin experts? Are there really that many martial artists in the world?"

Upon hearing this, the chairman laughed heartily, and his laughter echoed throughout the office: "To be honest, I don't know either. I once thought he was dead. I never expected that after half a year, you would bring me such a big surprise again. Tsk tsk, Qin Wu, that kid, appears and disappears like a ghost. No one knows where he goes. He always suddenly jumps out when people are about to forget about him. This time, he actually managed to kill 4 Gang Jin experts, 15 Hua Jing experts, and 7 Nei Jin experts. This exaggerated number of 180 is a bit surreal to me."

The secretary nodded and smiled, "We don't understand the world of martial artists, but sir, if this situation can continue for a month, the GDP of Chuncheng will probably catch up with Shanghai or Beijing! Chuncheng will become a veritable first-tier city!"

As the number one figure in the city, how could the chairman not know about this situation? He couldn't be happier that Qin Wu would make such a big fuss every day. Firstly, it would help Qin Wu himself, and secondly, his career would be even more promising!

The chairman, his face flushed as if he had been drinking, paced back and forth in the office with his large belly sticking out.

After a long pause, the chairman's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Quick! Prepare the car! I'm going to Tsubakiyama!"

Upon hearing this, the secretary paused for a moment, then a troubled, bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Sir, this... I'm afraid it won't work..."

The chairman's expression changed slightly:

"Huh? Why?"

The secretary explained:

"Everyone who wants to go to Chunshan is being kept out... The security guards won't let them in!"

The mayor flew into a rage, shouting, "How dare his security guards stop me?! I am the mayor of this city!"

The secretary shook her head and smiled wryly: "Just like you said last time, the security guards are still the same three words: ordinary people."
