Marvel Superheroes in China

With a sigh, Qin Wu looked up and stammered as he surveyed his surroundings: "Where...am I?"

But what came into view was a vast primeval forest, every tree as thick as an adult's waist. Standing in this dense forest, Qin Wu felt incredibly small.

"I've never seen this place in a book."

Qin Wu frowned slightly, hesitant to go any further. He squatted down to examine the soil and fallen leaves. His textbook had stated that the soil and geographical features of different places were vastly different.

However, Qin Wu observed for a long time but still couldn't see anything wrong...

"Woo—"

Just then, a series of beastly roars came from behind. A powerful aura swept over them. Qin Wu's eyes flickered: "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall... Let's go."

After saying this, he activated the first level of the Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill.

With a 'whoosh', he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared silently into the jungle.

Little did he know, he was getting further and further away from human cities...

Chapter 172: The Plane People's Army

As Lu Acai left, the human settlements began to stir.

Countless people gathered in the council hall, anxiously waiting for Lu Acai. Even the Armed Forces Bureau had begun to show interest in this Qin Wu.

Although many of these martial artists were just watching the show, there were also some who were genuinely worried about Qin Wu.

As the garrison commander of one side, Chen Baima stood at the front of the group, his face slightly unpleasant, his brows tightly furrowed, his lips tightly closed, and his eyes fixed on the direction Lu Acai had left, never changing.

Chen Baima was extremely anxious, clenching his fists and pacing back and forth.

He thought to himself, "Qin Wu, you absolutely mustn't die, or all the effort I've put into you will have been for nothing."

This scene was witnessed by many martial artists.

They all laughed and said, "Governor, why are you so anxious? Now that Qin Wu has been entangled by the tiger dragon, he certainly has no chance of survival."

One sentence caused an uproar among the martial artists present. Many believed that an internal energy martial artist entangled by a powerful tiger dragon would die in no time.

"Exactly, without even a second thought, that kid is definitely dead."

"Of all people to mess with, why did he have to provoke this tiger-dragon? Doesn't he understand the principle of 'you can only eat what you've been given'? That kid brought it on himself."

"Ha, what genius? I think he's just an idiot. He ran to the back of the group and fell behind. Who can he blame for that?"

The many martial artists present were shouting and making noise, and if you looked closely, you could see that they all had a playful smile on their faces.

In fact, Qin Wu's life or death had nothing to do with them. They were just curious about what kind of martial artist even a high-level grandmaster like Lu Acai could favor.

As they were speaking, a white light "whooshed" from the distant sky and flew straight towards them.

Chen Baima's face lit up with joy, his pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed, "The Grandmaster is back!"

A gasp made everyone present tense up. Countless people craned their necks to see Lu Acai in front of them. Qin Wu and the like were not important at all. What mattered was the Grandmaster. If they could be chosen by this Grandmaster, it would only be a matter of time before they rose to prominence.

A beam of white light landed on the ground, causing everyone present to hold their breath and stare at the white light with tense expressions.

As the light faded, Lu Acai, dressed in a white robe, slowly emerged from inside, her brows slightly furrowed, looking as if she were preoccupied.

Upon seeing this, Chen Baima, standing at the front of the crowd, felt a sudden unease and a sense of foreboding rose within him.

He took two steps forward, swallowed hard, and asked nervously, "Ah Cai... Qin Wu, he..."

With Lu Acai's arrival, the atmosphere in the entire venue immediately became tense. Countless people didn't dare to breathe, staring wide-eyed at Lu Acai's solemn face, quietly waiting for his answer.

Upon hearing this, Lu Acai's brows twitched again, and a barely perceptible hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

After a long silence, Lu Acai said coldly, "Can't find it, it's dead."

Then, changing the subject, Lu Acai sighed, "Humanity's future grandmaster will actually die at the hands of a tiger-dragon!"

After saying that, Lu Acai sighed, clenched her fist slightly, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, turned around and transformed into a streak of light, flying out of Dawn City. No one knew where Lu Acai went, but they all felt that the Grandmaster was really angry this time.

Before Lu Acai could speak, those who had previously been pessimistic about Qin Wu revealed smug smiles, their brows furrowed with a strong sense of malevolence, sneering incessantly. But along with their sneers, they were also filled with shock.

"What makes you so sure that Qin Wu can become a grandmaster? What does Qin Wu have that makes you so certain that someone can become a grandmaster?"

"Damn it, good riddance. Saved me a lot of trouble. Grandmaster? Even a powerful being at the Transformation Realm wouldn't dare to be so sure that a new martial artist could become a Grandmaster. Why should Lu Acai be able to?"

"It's good that he's dead. I told you, that kid Qin Wu would never come back alive. A grandmaster, huh?"

"Exactly, who among those entangled by the tiger-dragon can come back alive, except for those with a Gang Jin level of strength? If Qin Wu can survive, I'll eat three hundred pounds of shit while standing on my head."

While the people from the Armed Forces Bureau didn't mock the martial artists like they did, they also wore indifferent expressions.

"Let's go. We've waited so long, it seems we've wasted our time. I was hoping to see this legendary figure who could become a grandmaster in just over a decade. How laughable."

"Never mind, let's get back to our business."

"Ah."

After a brief exchange, the personnel from the Armaments Bureau left the council hall and headed towards the door.

Lu Acai's two simple sentences clearly explained the outcome of the matter. Everyone present who had hoped that Qin Wu would come back alive was filled with disappointment, including Chen Baima, who stood there dumbfounded, his mind filled with Lu Acai's words: Qin Wu is dead!

It took Chen Baima two or three minutes to slowly come back to his senses.

Chen Baima's face was incredibly pale, his eyes were bloodshot and slightly moist, and he sighed deeply, "Qin Wu..."

……

Meanwhile, Qin Wu, who was running through the forest, suddenly sneezed twice for no apparent reason.

Stopping in his tracks, Qin Wu rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who's insulting me?"

Without further thought, Qin Wu continued to move, using his Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill to its fullest extent. With a "whoosh," the figure that had been standing under the towering tree vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only fallen leaves on the ground, whipped up by the whirlwind, dancing in the air.

Not long after Qin Wu left, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out in Senli.

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Wu immediately held his breath and lay prone in the grass, staring intently, his nerves on edge, constantly wondering who it was.

"Tap Tap!"

As the footsteps grew louder and clearer, the figures of the group gradually became more visible.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man with black hair dressed in ancient costume. His dark face was furrowed, and he hurried towards the direction Qin Wu had left in.

The man seemed to sense something, his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly raised his hand. The dozen or so men behind him, dressed in the same clothes, stopped in their tracks. Each of them looked around with extremely solemn expressions and murderous intent in their eyes, breathing heavily and remaining silent.

Qin Wu, who was hiding in the grass, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"hiss--"

Dimensional Being!

The army of the dimensional beings!

Qin Wu gasped inwardly and held his breath again.

The group of more than a dozen people stood under the tree where Qin Wu had just stood.

The man in the lead squinted and sniffed his surroundings, his gaze locking onto what lay ahead. His eyes grew increasingly cold, and a strange smile curled at the corner of his lips, his killing intent palpable.

He said coldly, "Damn human martial artist, you can't escape, chase after me!"

.......

Chapter 173: It's really been discovered

"Shhhhhh!"

With a series of whooshing sounds, the figures of more than a dozen people vanished from Qin Wu's sight in an instant.

Qin Wu, hiding in the grass, let out a long sigh of relief; his previously pale complexion improved slightly.

He thought to himself, "Thank goodness they're not here for me. Could it be that I've entered another dimension?"

The more Qin Wu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He muttered to himself, "I have to go back quickly. With my cultivation level, if I encounter a powerful expert or a monster, I'm definitely doomed."

Making a move, Qin Wu turned around and prepared to get up and continue running.

Before Qin Wu could get up and react, a loud bang suddenly rang out from the depths of the forest.

"Rumble--"

Qin Wu froze instantly, his pupils contracted, and a bead of cold sweat dripped slowly from his temple into the grass and disappeared. He quickly stopped what he was doing, held his breath, and stared intently into the distance.

He exclaimed inwardly again, "What is it this time?"

"Rumble--"

Another loud bang, and countless towering trees crashed down, leaves filled the air, and yellow sand filled the sky. The once quiet forest suddenly became restless, and countless birds and beasts scattered and fled in the chaos.

Qin Wu's heart was in his throat, pounding at almost 180 beats per minute! His face was deathly pale, his eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets, and he lay tightly on the grass in the distance, watching the riot unfold without daring to breathe.

As trees continued to fall, a shadow several tens of meters high could be vaguely seen amidst the thick smoke.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

With each step the figure took, a loud bang resounded from the ground, the tremor was extremely noticeable.

A few steps later, a giant red beast, tens of meters tall, slowly emerged from the thick smoke. Qin Wu, who was lying in the grass in the distance, was so frightened that he almost screamed. His pupils shrank sharply, and a chill ran from his back to the top of his head, making goosebumps stand up all over his body and sweat pour down his face.

He screamed inwardly, "What...what the hell is this thing?! How can it be so big?!"
