Marvel Superheroes in China

Chapter 222: An Upset

At the same time, the Armaments Bureau also released the news of updating the list of local officials immediately.

On the ranking of martial artists from all over the country, the first page of the black cover features Qin Wu's portrait, prominently printed with several large, bold characters.

The words read, "Human heroes! Triumphant return!"

It must be said that the Armaments Bureau made a big fuss, making the whole country aware of it.

Beijing.

A publishing house in Beijing.

The middle-aged male boss, holding a newly published copy of the "Land Ranking," excitedly shouted to the passing customers, "Come on, it's a shocking upset! Leng Ruxiang has actually been knocked out of first place on the weighbridge!"

The boss's loud shout quickly attracted the attention of passersby.

Countless passersby stopped to marvel at the sight.

"Leng Ruxiang was actually upset?! The number one expert on the Earth Ranking was knocked down?! Who is so strong?!"

"hiss--"

"Leng Ruxiang has been at the top of the Earth Ranking for over a decade, and today he's been unexpectedly knocked out! My God, how is this possible?!"

"Who? Who could push such a strong person to second place? My god!"

The once noisy street fell silent instantly, and countless people stopped to watch, utterly shocked.

Although they are ordinary office workers, Qin Wu sparked a craze more than a year ago, making the whole nation pay close attention to the existence of this martial artist, especially to every updated ranking list.

"What an upset! The biggest upset of the year! Leng Ruxiang has actually been pushed down from the top spot on the Earth Ranking to second place!"

"Who is it? Boss, tell me now!"

It wasn't that the boss didn't want to talk about it, but rather that he dared not speak about the rules of the Earth Ranking, fearing he would be hunted down globally.

Hearing the crowd's urgent shouts, the shop owner felt helpless and gave a bitter smile: "Friends, it's not that I don't want to say, it's that I dare not say. Buying this list requires following their rules that only the person buying it can know about it, and I'm afraid."

"Come on, come on, buy one, buy one!"

"I want a copy too. I want to see who this mysterious person is, who managed to dethrone Leng Ruxiang from the top spot on the local rankings that he had held for over a decade."

"I also want!"

……

wow——

Countless people flocked to the scene, completely surrounding the small newspaper office.

The boss was so excited he was practically bursting with joy; his face was flushed and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Don't rush, don't rush. Line up on the left for cash and on the right for WeChat Pay. Don't push..."

Within half an hour, the newspapers and magazines had a total of one hundred items on the local bestseller list, and they were all sold out. In addition, many other books and magazines were also bought along with them.

Less than an hour after opening, the newspaper owner hurriedly closed the door.

Holding the red banknotes in his hand with an excited expression, his heart was pounding. He had never seen such a crazy scene in his life.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a newly published list of local rankings from his drawer. The black cover had the title "Local Rankings" written in large gold lettering.

The shopkeeper put away the money, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, and carefully turned to the first page.

"hiss--"

The middle-aged male boss's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"The first place...it's him!"

"This person who disappeared for half a year... he actually reappeared... and immediately came in first place?!"

The boss covered his mouth, trying not to scream. His wide eyes were visibly bloodshot, and he was in a state of extreme shock, as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.

……

Meanwhile, it wasn't just the capital city.

The city of Chuncheng, where Xingyimen is located, is also in an uproar.

Qin Wu, who had disappeared for half a year, has now reappeared!

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

Qin Wu, who was once known as the strongest in Chuncheng and the King of the Southwest, has returned!

Chunshan, Xingyi School.

"drink!"

"what!"

The large courtyard was packed with no fewer than a hundred people, all maintaining the same posture and wearing the same clothes, their faces filled with solemnity and reverence.

"Master's wife, have you heard?"

Li Qiushui, dressed in a simple gray outfit, asked in a deliberately mysterious manner.

He had just broken through to the inner strength level not long ago, which meant he had truly become a martial artist.

Natasha, fair-skinned and beautiful, sat on the bamboo chair. Upon hearing Li Qiushui's words, her delicate features furrowed slightly, her expression showing a hint of confusion. She turned her beautiful eyes and asked softly, "What did you hear?"

. ........ 0

Li Qiushui covered his mouth with his slender fingers and whispered in Natasha's ear, "I heard that Master has returned."

Natasha jumped up from the bamboo chair, her beautiful eyes wide open, her brown pupils trembling, and her already fair face appearing even whiter.

With a trembling voice, she asked, "What...what did you say?!"

Natasha simply couldn't believe it—her brother, whom she had waited for day and night… he had actually returned?!

She hurriedly grabbed Li Qiushui's shoulders and shook him, her heart filled with anxiety.

"Tell me! Where is he?!"

Natasha's action immediately aroused the curiosity of the disciples cultivating in the courtyard, who all stopped what they were doing and looked at the two on the stage with curiosity.

Zhang Yixing frowned slightly. Although he was also curious, he dared not delay his cultivation.

He hurriedly shouted, "What are you looking at? Don't you need to cultivate anymore? Keep practicing!"

Hearing Zhang Yixing's reprimand, the group pursed their lips and resumed their training.

However, Natasha's two exclamations only fueled everyone's curiosity.

What happened?

……knife.

Chapter 223: Paying Homage to the Throne

Li Qiushui was quite startled by Natasha's startled reaction; she hadn't expected Natasha to be so excited about Qin Wu's news.

Indeed, this was true. Since Qin Wu went into seclusion half a year ago, he had hardly seen anyone before leaving Chuncheng without stopping. He said he was going somewhere and that he might not be able to come back. At that time, everyone in Xingyi Sect was worried for Qin Wu.

Day and night, the students of Xingyi School worried about Qin Wu. Natasha even started praying every day, begging God to bless Qin Wu's safe return. For more than a month, she couldn't eat or sleep well and became extremely haggard, worrying about Qin Wu every day.

Now, news of Qin Wu has spread throughout the country. He disappeared from the Earth Ranking half a year ago, but miraculously he has returned. And this time, he is not just ranked, but has directly surpassed the number one spot on the Earth Ranking, "180" Leng Ruxiang, and has taken the top spot!

Li Qiushui looked at Natasha, who was almost in tears, and sighed softly:

"Master's wife, the news has spread throughout Chun City that Master has topped the Earth Ranking!"

"What?! First place?!"

Natasha's mind went blank for a moment.

He stood there blankly, his face expressionless, unable to move for a long time.

"Number one... Number one on the Earth Ranking..."

"How could this be... What did my brother do? Where did he go?"

At this moment, the people practicing in the courtyard finally heard the conversation between the two.

When Qin Wu reached the top spot on the weighbridge, everyone froze.

"hiss--"

"Number one on the Earth Ranking! My God?!"

"This……"

"How can it be……?"

"Master went into seclusion for half a year, and he's already number one on the weighbridge?! This is too exaggerated, is it real?!"

Everyone was stunned; their faces were filled with shock, and their wide eyes were filled with horror.

"He actually managed to oust Leng Ruxiang from his position! What earth-shattering thing did my master do? He's never been one to remain silent, but when he does, he's astounding everyone!"

"That's right! Half a year ago, Master was removed from the Earth Ranking, but unexpectedly, he has risen to the top of the Earth Ranking just six months later!"

"Master is mighty!"
