Marvel Superheroes in China

The moment Qin Wu stepped out of the hotel, he saw countless onlookers on the road, constantly discussing the matter.

The moment Qin Wu appeared, all the passersby and security personnel on the road stopped and stared at him in astonishment.

"Qin... Qin Wu didn't run away?"

"Holy crap, Qin Wu didn't run away!"

'But...did he go there to withdraw from the competition?'

"Impossible, Qin Wu doesn't look like he's going to withdraw from the competition."

"..."

Qin Wu overheard the crowd's discussion but paid it no mind. He glanced at the time—12:50—and his heart tightened. He immediately vanished in a wisp of smoke…

At this moment, the entire city of Xianyang was in an uproar.

"Qin Wu didn't leave!"

"There are people in the southwest!"

"Haha, there are some people in the southwest!"

"..."

Countless people cheered.

Meanwhile, on the field...

Tantai Zhi kept glancing at the time impatiently, and shouted again, "It's already 12:50, just ten minutes left, he won't be here. He'll have run away long ago. Hey, if you're not comfortable with this, after I declare victory, I can just go to Chunshan again and kill Qin Wu. Hurry up."

No one paid him any attention.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted in the stadium, with countless people sighing and lamenting.

There's nobody in the southwest!

In the vast southwest, one person had completely intimidated everyone, and no one dared to fight. The only ones who could rival Tantai Zhi in strength were all frightened away.

This fueled the resentment of the spirited martial artists, who hated their own lack of strength and their inability to defeat Tantai Zhi.

The martial artist with internal energy, however, was red-faced and so uncomfortable that he wanted nothing more than to fight him to the death. In this humiliating state, he felt he might as well be dead.

(Get Li's)

I'd rather die than let him humiliate me like this!

"Sigh, why is Qin Wu such a coward?"

“You have to understand Qin Wu. Qin Wu is only at the level of ‘Muscles and Bones Resonating’. The fact that he can participate in the Inner Strength Group has already proven himself. This is not cowardice, it is rationality. After all, Tantai Zhi kills in every match and leaves no survivors.”

"I think Qin Wu is just a coward. If he can't win, he can't win, he should just withdraw from the competition. Why is he running away? Is he afraid someone will force him to play?"

"He doesn't even have the courage to announce his withdrawal from the competition, not even the courage to admit defeat. Is he even a martial artist?"

"I think Qin Wu has his own reasons, and he definitely won't back down!"

"Yes, I also think Qin Wu isn't a coward!"

"...".

Chapter 117: Arriving Through the Void

Time slips away, little by little.

12:55.

At this moment, the judges' voices resounded throughout the competition venue, their booming voices echoing like thunder:

"The competition will end at one o'clock. Before one o'clock, regardless of whether anyone else arrives, if Tantai Zhi remains undefeated, Tantai Zhi wins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in uproar.

Tantai Zhi smiled; there were only five minutes left. So what if Qin Wu came? So what if Qin Wu could actually fight him to a draw? There were only five minutes left. Could Qin Wu defeat him within those five minutes? As long as he didn't defeat him, he would win.

Everyone was aware of this rule. Although the competition was supposed to end at 1 p.m., it actually started at 11 a.m. Logically, it should have been over by now, but no one had arrived yet. Even if Qin Wu, the only one who hadn't announced his withdrawal, came, he would still have to pay the price for being 'late'.

Most importantly, will Qin Wu come?

Just then, shouts suddenly came from the outer perimeter: "Qin Wu has arrived!"

"Qin Wu is here!"

"Qin Wu has arrived!"

"There are people in the southwest!"

"Don't end it here! Qin Wu is here! He's here! We have people in the Southwest! Who says we don't have anyone?"

Has Qin Wu arrived?

Everyone in the hall turned to look, only to see that a path had parted at the entrance...

At that moment, one of the judges' pupils contracted, and he suddenly looked up and shouted:

"Congratulations to Qin Wu on breaking through to the Inner Strength realm. Congratulations to Qin Wu, congratulations to the Xingyi School, congratulations to the Southwest for gaining another Inner Strength expert, congratulations to China, congratulations to humanity!"

hiss--

Internal strength?

Tantai Zhi's pupils contracted. Impossible! He broke through in just one night?

Screw you, is it for real?

All the judges, all the experts with internal strength, and all the audience members, including Chen Baima and Wu Huida, all stood up.

Internal energy?

"Congratulations to Qin Wu!"

"There are people in the Southwest! There are people in the Southwest!"

"Congratulations on the addition of another powerful internal energy cultivator to the Southwest!"

"Qin Wu has arrived!"

"..."

A whooshing sound rang out.

The entire venue was in an uproar, but then, outside the venue, a wisp of smoke drifted in from mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, a young man in a black robe stood with his hands behind his back in the very center of the arena.

At 12:56, Qin Wu broke through the internal energy barrier and arrived through the air!

The entire venue was completely silent!

After a long while, there was a loud 'bang'.

"Qin Wu is here!"

"Coming from nowhere."

"Qin Wuruo [the author] arrives as if stepping through the air, hahaha, who says there's no one in the Southwest?"

"Qin Wu was already so powerful with his bones and muscles working together, and now that he has broken through to the inner strength level, he will be even more powerful."

"Qin Wu, he never ran away... nor did he escape. He broke through to the inner strength level!"

"Even if we lose, we have something to be proud of. Because our Southwest region has gained another expert in internal energy, someone whose bones and muscles resonate with power enough to defeat an expert in internal energy. Now that he's entered the internal energy realm, he'll probably be able to enter the Earth Ranking, right?"

"It seems that we in the Southwest don't have any Earth Ranking experts yet."

"Go Qin Wu!"

"Go Qin Wu!"

"Qin Wu, keep going, defeat him! There are people in the Southwest, tell them there are plenty of people in the Southwest!"

"..."

Throughout the venue, cheers and screams rose and fell.

At this moment, every person from Southwest China went crazy.

They screamed wildly, cheering for Qin Wu. Congratulations to Qin Wu, congratulations to the Southwest, congratulations to the Inner Strength!

Inside the private room, Chen Baima slumped down and chuckled, "This kid... he just loves to pant."

Wu Huida's eyes relaxed. She had overthought things. Qin Wu wasn't the kind of person she had imagined. He was truly fearless. A truly respectable martial arts fanatic, a martial arts fanatic!

His philosophy contained no retreat. There was only one principle: Where is the enemy?

But then Wu Huida sighed, "The judges spoke too soon. It's already 12:57. At 1 o'clock sharp, as long as Tantai Zhi doesn't lose, he wins. Because Qin Wu is late... being late has consequences."

Chen Baima slapped his thigh in anger: "Damn it, which bastard made this rule? And there's even a time limit?"

"This……"

"..."

At this moment, the audience realized that Qin Wu only had three minutes.

If Qin Wu cannot defeat Tantai Zhi within three minutes, then Tantai Zhi wins, because Qin Wu is late, and being late will be punished.
