Marvel Superheroes in China

For a long time.

Dressed in a lavish suit and tie, Batman Wayne smiled at the crowd: "What do you all think?"

With the captain absent, Batman stepped in to take charge.

Because he's rich!

He has technology.

To put it bluntly, everyone present, in terms of pure skill, is definitely inferior to Wayne. Because… he's rich!

As soon as Wayne finished speaking, the hot-tempered Falcon Sam slammed his hand on the table.

With a loud 'bang,' the alloy table cracked. Falcon said coldly, "Fake news. All fake news. The Chinese are known for their sensationalism. I absolutely cannot believe such news. Hulk and the White Queen were instantly killed in one move at the Capital Airport in China? That's impossible. Use your brains and think about it, is such a thing even possible?"

After the words were spoken, some people who had been hesitant to speak fell silent again.

Wayne said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that China deleted these news reports too quickly, and we didn't get the video content immediately... But even if it's fake news, it's enough to attract our attention. There's something strange about China."

“There’s something strange going on. First, Natasha went to China and disappeared. Then Hulk and the White Queen also went to China and disappeared... We have to find them no matter what. Hulk is still very useful.”

"But the rumor is that Hulk lost an arm?"

"How is this possible? A vibranium-made knife can't even really hurt Hulk. You actually believe this nonsense?"

Wayne said with a grim expression, "Fake news is fine. But if this is true, then we need China to give the Avengers an explanation."

"President Wayne, how do you want China to explain this?"

Wayne sneered, "If Hulk is really seriously injured by the Chinese, or loses an arm, then we will avenge Hulk. I will use the law and violence to pressure China into submission, settling all scores, old and new... the revenge for Colossus, the revenge for Hulk, the revenge for Diamond Girl, and the revenge for kidnapping Natasha. I will make China pay the price, challenging and destroying every martial arts school, martial arts gym, boxing gym, Shaolin Temple, Wudang Temple, and all those other martial arts schools in China. I will wipe out their martial arts world and restore the prestige of our Avengers!"

hiss--

Many people gasped in shock. Wayne, what an overbearing mindset!

However, this aligns with our belief that the United States is the world's leading superpower.

That's exactly what our American Avengers are all about – fearless and invincible!

Unbeknownst to anyone, Deadpool, sitting at the conference table, trembled violently the moment he heard the word 'Wudang.' His pupils, hidden beneath his mask, dilated and contracted endlessly; he was remembering something terrifying…

At this moment, Punisher Frank said coldly, "What if China doesn't acknowledge it?"

Wayne laughed and said, "Is there nothing we can do if we don't admit it? The United States is the world's number one power. Why do we need to explain our actions to others? Even if we don't admit it, we'll just summon the superheroes back, descend upon China, and wipe out all the martial arts practitioners in China."

The Punisher, Frank, remained coldly aloof as he asked, "Are they guilty?"

Wayne paused, then suddenly remembered Frank's characteristics.

This person... is an extreme violent individual.

He feared no power or organization; he believed in only one thing: if the United States deemed you guilty, you must die.

Thinking of this, Wayne's eyes lit up. He could push the Punisher out as the vanguard. He quickly said, "Of course they're guilty. Hulk is a US citizen, regardless of who he is, but the information we have says that Hulk was injured on Chinese territory. Since the culprit cannot be found, then naturally China is the culprit. They are guilty."

Frank fell silent, offering no words. His expression remained unreadable.

Wayne continued, "The United States represents both justice and law. Those who violate justice and law are necessarily guilty."

After a long silence, Frank said softly, "If you're guilty, you must die. Tell me, is it killing all Chinese people, or just all martial arts practitioners in China?"

Wayne paused, inwardly alarmed; Frank's murderous intent was even greater than his own.

However, Wayne was cautious by nature, and what he said just now was merely a long-term idea and concept; he wasn't arrogant to that extent...

What if... what if?

Chapter 37: Doubt

What if there really is a powerful figure in China? Wouldn't we be doomed then?

Hmm... We need to take a long-term approach and not be too obvious. We should attack them one by one, until we finally find out China's true strength, and then issue a final ultimatum to China.

Thinking of this, Wayne said, "We'll fight them one by one, under the guise of a friendly exchange and competition, to challenge the martial arts practitioners from China."

Wayne, along with all the superheroes, believed that Chinese martial artists were simply those who practiced martial arts—things like thrusting a golden spear into a throat or breaking a boulder with their chest.

But he was wrong, and he will pay a terrible price for that mistake.

Fortunately, Wayne was cautious. If he had followed the Punisher's approach and declared war on China, or even launched a large-scale invasion, the Avengers would likely have been wiped out, and the United States would have been sunk!

Chinese martial artists are generally low-key and disdain interacting with the outside world. However, if you act arrogantly in the territory of any major sect, the consequences could be dire…

Just then, the Wakandan princess, who had been silent until now, came across a news article from China: "There's a news article in China saying that a young man created a martial art called Xingyi Quan and founded the Xingyi School in Chuncheng, Southwest Province. It's caused a sensation in China. It's very unusual that someone would actually found a school in this era? Wait, Xingyi School... isn't that Natasha's brother, Qin Wu?"

With a sudden 'buzz,' the conference room erupted in chaos. Everyone crowded around to watch the news.

After a long while, Wayne excitedly slammed his hand on the table: "Then it's him. Let's start with Xingyi Sect... Haha, China is actually making a big fuss about promoting a new sect. Let them rise higher and fall harder. It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep. I was wondering which Chinese sect to challenge first, and here comes a new one."

Wayne was genuinely pleased, though he still harbored some apprehension towards China. After all, it was an ancient country with such a long history; it was unlikely they wouldn't have some powerful figures. To be honest, he was a little hesitant to go to sects like Shaolin and Wudang—what if they had some experts among their many years of history?

But this is a new sect!

And what's more, it was actually founded by Natasha's abducted brother. Just when they were about to cause trouble for Qin Wu, he... he delivered himself right to their doorstep.

"Hahaha."

Wayne laughed loudly: "Punisher, then let's challenge this Xingyi School?"

Frank said expressionlessly, "Kill a few?"

Wayne's eyes hardened: "If China is praising us so openly, then let's thoroughly slap them in the face. Let's make an example of them; they're all guilty."

The Punisher nodded: "I understand."

"..."

While the Avengers were plotting to "walk into their own trap and bring shame upon themselves," a considerable wave was also rising in China.

Xingyi School has emerged out of nowhere!

This has left many ordinary Chinese people feeling bewildered.

What does this mean? What's going on?

In this day and age, are there still people who would establish their own sects? Sects like Shaolin and Wudang? Would the country actually allow them to establish such sects?

Is this sect similar to a martial arts school?

Everyone was stunned.

Is China... going to become a martial arts society? Does this kind of thing even need to be reported in the news?

In today's society, no matter how powerful a fist is, can it be more powerful than a bullet? Why then do we still promote martial arts so extensively?

Why learn those acrobatic tricks that Shaolin monks perform everywhere? What's the point?

Countless Chinese people found this unbelievable; it can be said to be a major event rarely seen in Chinese history.

Not only were ordinary people in China bewildered, but even Qin Wu, the leader of the Xingyi School, was somewhat confused.

Why am I suddenly being valued so much?

Am I really that famous? I've only been back in China a short time, and I already have so much influence? The news is even reporting on me founding a new school of thought?

Isn't this kind of thing always kept secret by the government in China? Why is it suddenly being made public for me?

Chapter 38: Garrison Commander

The entire Chuncheng was in an uproar. The ordinary people of Chuncheng only found out today that there really was a martial arts master in Chunshan.

It seems that the rumor from before was actually true.

"In this day and age, there is still a Xingyi School, and someone is even able to establish a sect?"

"What's going on?"

"A sect has actually appeared within our Chunshan territory, and according to the regulations in the news, Chunshan has been designated as a first-level protected area, and from now on, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter Chunshan."

"Holy crap, what kind of nonsense is this? A sect that founded itself here has designated this place as off-limits?"

"Are there really martial arts masters in this world?"

"What kind of martial arts master is he? No matter how powerful a martial arts master is, he's still afraid of bullets."

"We strongly condemn the Chuncheng government; it's utterly childish and ridiculous!"

"..."

News outlets rushed to report on this matter.

Tengxun News: A martial arts sect has emerged in Chuncheng, becoming the first sect in contemporary society to openly establish itself. What secrets does this Xingyi Sect hold?

NetEase News: Rumors say that Xingyi School is backed by a powerful figure. Who is this powerful figure?

Sina News: The Xingyi School's attempt to establish itself as a sect has been met with a lukewarm reception; reportedly, it only has three disciples. Is this enough to justify establishing a school?

Social Investigation: The Chuncheng government is strongly condemned for treating this matter so lightly. For the sake of an outdated martial arts sect, they've turned the entire Chunshan Mountain range into a forbidden zone, barring ordinary people from even setting foot there. On what grounds? Has Chunshan Mountain become the private territory of the Xingyi Sect?

The whole society began to strongly condemn it.

This is a huge shock to ordinary people, as it doesn't align with their values.

The era of martial arts is long gone, okay? How many people in society still practice martial arts these days? What's the point? Besides being aggressive and violent, what other use is it? Does it improve physical health?
