Marvel Superheroes in China

Not for anything else, but for Zhenjing and Leng Ruxiang.

The name Qin Wu was etched in the minds of all the martial artists in Jiangnan Province. While they weren't exactly terrified of him, they were certainly somewhat afraid of him.

After a month, Qin Wu's cultivation level had increased to the late stage of Inner Strength, but it was still some distance from the peak. Putting aside his cultivation level, what troubled Qin Wu the most was his Five Elements Spear Technique.

"Since I challenged Master Weng Qingyan last month and suddenly comprehended the fourth level of the Five Elements Spear Technique, the Drilling Fist, in the past month, apart from my cultivation improving a little, there has been no progress in the Five Elements Spear Technique, and I haven't been able to find out any news about Leng Ruxiang. It's as if he has disappeared."

Inside the hotel, Qin Wu stood with his arms crossed, looking at the Five Elements Spear lying quietly on the bed. His brows furrowed, and his expression turned slightly grim: "I've challenged martial artists from all over the country, but why don't I feel any sudden enlightenment in my spear technique? It's so strange."

Qin Wu felt a slight headache, so he simply sat cross-legged.

Slowly close your eyes, controlling your steady breathing.

"call--"

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Qin Wu prepared to comprehend the essence of the Zhen Realm once more.

He silently recited in his mind: "Man and gun become one... there is a soul in the gun."

Time passed by, and Qin Wu had been meditating in place for about half an hour.

In the past half hour, Qin Wu's expression gradually changed from calm to anxious. Now, Qin Wu's eyes are no longer slightly closed, but tightly closed, his eyebrows are furrowed together, and his forehead is covered with layers of sweat.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Wu's breathing became increasingly rapid, and his hands were clenched into fists, appearing extremely anxious.

"what!"

Qin Wu suddenly opened his eyes, a murderous glint in them, and let out a furious roar filled with frustration that echoed through the room.

Slowly standing up, Qin Wu's face was pale and extremely ugly. Looking at the Five Elements Spear on the bed, Qin Wu felt extremely agitated.

"The final level of the Five Elements Spear Technique, 'Heaven Collapses and Earth Shatters,' what exactly does that mean? The power of heaven and earth? No, that's not right..."

"Without comprehending the final level, one cannot enter the Zhen Realm; without entering the Zhen Realm, one cannot cultivate the Silent Technique, and one cannot break through to the Transformation Realm..."

A series of chain reactions left Qin Wu in a terrible predicament.

"Am I destined to find you, Leng Ruxiang, the number one marksman on both sides of the Yellow River? But where are you?! I've searched all over the country just to find you, defeat you, and comprehend the true essence of marksmanship. I've practiced marksmanship in two lifetimes, constantly exploring the realm of Zhen. Now, the realm of Zhen is only one step away from me. Where are you?!"

Slowly walking to the bedside, looking out at the bustling traffic, Qin Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Wu Hui Da calls every few days. The situation in this plane is extremely tense. A third of the warriors in Dawn City have died. Chen Bai Ma killed an enemy Grandmaster at the cost of serious injuries. The Kryptonians and Thanos's race have also suffered heavy losses, with many Grandmasters and peak-level Qi cultivators killed. The situation is not optimistic..."

Qin Wu was extremely anxious and became increasingly agitated, so he decided to go downstairs for some fresh air.

After packing his luggage, Qin Wu left the hotel with his spear in hand.

It was the end of the month, the time when each ranking list was refreshed. The ranking list, which used to be updated once a year, is now updated more frequently, once a month. Due to the rampant activity in the other worlds, many martial artists have gone in to kill enemies and make contributions. In order to become the number one on the list, they have paid a lot and risked their lives to kill enemies.

This immediately kept the Armed Forces Bureau extremely busy, counting the number of enemies killed every day. The Armed Forces Bureau alone had filled more than a dozen large boxes with the martial artists' badges, which shows how much effort these martial artists had put in to get the top spot on the leaderboard.

As Qin Wu was walking, he heard a series of exclamations.

"My God, the Earth Ranking has dropped another upset! Leng Ruxiang has surpassed Qin Wu to take the top spot again!"

"It's actually true! Leng Ruxiang killed over a thousand enemies and seized a thousand kilograms of enemy supplies, ranking first on the Earth Ranking!"

"As expected, Leng Ruxiang is still more powerful. After all, he is a man who has been at the top of the rankings for many years. He did not disappoint me."

Qin Wu's ears twitched, and he stopped in his tracks.

I was somewhat surprised:

"Leng Ruxiang is number one on the Earth Ranking? When did this happen?!"

Qin Wu hurriedly spent 20,000 yuan to buy a local ranking list.

Upon turning to the first page of the Earthly Ranking, Qin Wu's pupils changed slightly.

"An upset?"

He frowned slightly and turned his head back.

"hiss--"

To my astonishment, the number one spot on the Earth Ranking was actually written as Leng Ruxiang!

"What... Leng Ruxiang went up there?!"

Qin Wu's expression changed drastically. He felt a chill run down his spine, making him shiver involuntarily.

"This... wasn't I number one on the Earth Ranking yesterday? How did Leng Ruxiang go up to the top?"

Without time to think, Qin Wu hurriedly checked Leng Ruxiang's recent battle record.

The ranking list read: "Leng Ruxiang, peak of Inner Strength, killed over a thousand enemies in July, countless reached the Transcendent Realm of Inner Strength, three reached the initial stage of Gang Strength, and seized 30,000 jin of enemy supplies..."

Even after Qin Wu finished reading the last line, the shock in his heart had not faded.

Qin Wu's face turned pale, and he was covered in cold sweat.

He murmured to himself, "Could it be... could it be that the person I've been searching for for over a month... is inside this dimension?!"

Qin Wu's pupils contracted sharply. He had been desperately searching for Leng Ruxiang's whereabouts, only to find him in the Dimensional City.

"But...why haven't we heard of him before?! No one has ever mentioned where Leng Ruxiang is, nor have we found any trace of him. Could it be that he's not in the human settlement? Then where is he?!"

All sorts of questions swirled in Qin Wu's mind, making him feel a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly, Qin Wu's expression hardened, and two chilling glints flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "No, I can't wait any longer. Once the journey south is over, I need to return to this world immediately to find Leng Ruxiang. Only he can help me enter the Zhen Realm so that I can master the Five Elements Spear Technique!"

.......

Chapter 252: Why are you back?

Beijing, home to China's premier military region.

Qin Wu, carrying the Five Elements Spear on his back, arrived at the entrance to the Mysterious Light with a solemn expression. The dark passage was only frequented by a few scattered martial artists. Looking around, the scene was even more tragic than when Qin Wu had come before.

Many martial artists were carried on stretchers, or in pairs, supporting each other. Their clothes or military robes were stained red with blood, their faces were covered in blood, and their cries of pain and sighs were continuous.

As Qin Wu walked, he observed the martial artists, all of whom kept their heads down and remained silent. The atmosphere in the dimly lit passage was incredibly oppressive.

His expression changed slightly, and he became increasingly anxious. He quickly walked out of the passage and hurriedly ran towards Dawn City.

Along the way, one could still vaguely see many human warriors entering and leaving Dawn City. Each of them had a face full of grief and indignation, their eyes were slightly dim, and they all walked forward with their heads down, without saying a word.

The pungent smell of blood kept flooding into Qin Wu's nostrils, making his mood increasingly heavy.

Upon entering Dawn City, Qin Wu headed straight for Chen Baima's residence. After all, having been away for a month, his sudden return required him to report to the garrison commander.

……

In the dimly lit room, Chen Baima lay on the bed, his body wrapped in bandages. Although his expression was somewhat relaxed, a closer look revealed a layer of sweat on his forehead, and his wounds seemed to have reopened, staining the snow-white bandages red.

Lu Acai sat to the side, and he was not in a good state either. His white robe was already tattered, and many wounds could be vaguely seen on his body, which was obviously the result of a great battle.

Lu Acai glanced at Chen Baima on the bed and sighed softly:

"Having wiped out a grandmaster from another plane, things should be quiet for a while now. How are your injuries?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Baima smiled faintly on his pale face and replied, "I won't die. We've been fighting for a month now. Nearly a third of the casualties in Dawn City have been lost. Even the Kryptonians and Thanos's race have been severely injured. Sigh."

Hearing Chen Baima's sigh, Lu Acai frowned slightly, subconsciously clenched her fists, and looked extremely solemn.

Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.

As the door was pushed open, Qin Wu's voice rang out.

"What happened to the garrison commander?!"

Lu Acai hurriedly turned around and saw Qin Wu's anxious expression. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Why did you come back? Who told you to come back?"

Chen Baima was so angry that he almost jumped out of bed. His body twitched violently, but this movement caused the wound to tear open on the spot, and the blood stained the bandage red again. Chen Baima gasped in pain.

He angrily shouted, "You bastard, who told you to come back! Didn't I tell you that the demonic beasts are looking for you everywhere, and the beings from other planes are also looking for you everywhere?"

Qin Wu took a closer look and his expression changed slightly. Lu Acai was looking at him with a serious expression, and Chen Baima was also looking at him with an angry expression due to his bandages.

Qin Wu rushed forward in one stride, his face extremely anxious. Seeing the two men's extremely grim expressions, Qin Wu felt incredibly conflicted.

Chen Baima never expected Qin Wu to return today. The war isn't over yet; for Qin Wu to come back now would be suicide.

Chen Baima, lying on the hospital bed, was panting heavily with anger, his eyes blazing with fury.

Lu Acai was the same, her brows furrowed and her face solemn.

He asked in a cold voice, "Why are you back?"

Qin Wu glanced at Chen Baima on the hospital bed, his pupils contracting slightly, and explained, "I found Leng Ruxiang's whereabouts. He's in the Plane City, which is why I came back. Why didn't I see any Plane People's army on my way back?"

"That's because I killed one of their grandmasters, and that's why they behaved for a while!"

Chen Baima was furious and said angrily.

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

Looking at Qin Wu in front of him, Chen Baima wished he could slap Qin Wu hard across the face. If you're going to cultivate, then cultivate properly. Why did you come back to die? All my hard work has been for nothing.

Lu Acai glanced at Chen Baima and advised, "Alright, you're still injured, so say less. Qin Wu, how did you know Leng Ruxiang was in the plane? What do you want with him? I heard from Chen Baima that you've been going south to challenge others. How's your cultivation going?"

Qin Wu took a breath and, seeing that Chen Baima was still angry, thought there shouldn't be any problem.
