Marvel Superheroes in China

Qin Wu didn't know whether to laugh or not, so he replied, "It's alright, go ahead and tell me, I'll listen. If we can't beat you, it'll be easier to run away, right?"

Seeing Qin Wu's persistence, the driver couldn't refuse any longer. He carefully looked around to make sure it was safe, then said mysteriously, "My child told me that there's a school leader who's ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, but I don't know his name."

"The Heavenly Ranking?"

Qin Wu was taken aback for a moment, then thought to himself, "Isn't the Heavenly Ranking just the Transcendent Realm? With my current strength, I can sweep through opponents of the same realm, and I should be able to hold my own against Transcendent Realm experts for a few moves."

The driver found Qin Wu to be a decent person and was willing to talk to him a bit more.

"Young man, I advise you not to go looking for trouble."

Qin Wu simply smiled, said nothing, and looked out the window, lost in thought.

The taxi drove very fast, and in half an hour they arrived at the gate of the (De Nuo Zhao) Heavenly Martial Arts Academy.

"arrive."

The driver said anxiously.

"Thank you."

Qin Wu gave the driver a red bill and got out of the car.

In that instant, the driver glanced at Qin Wu, watching him walk further and further away.

He scratched his head: "This looks familiar... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

Suddenly, the driver seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Could it be..."

He looked around in horror, then quickly covered his mouth, not daring to let out a sound. Those two words had recently become a national sensation; how could he not know them?

Looking in the direction Qin Wu left, there wasn't a single person left.

Seeing this, the driver became even more convinced that the boy with the gun was the one!

"Buzz—C"

The driver was sweating profusely and didn't dare to delay, so he quickly stepped on the gas.

The yellow taxi roared, its tires scraping against the ground, sending up a puff of blue smoke before disappearing from the street in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 231: Challenging the Martial Arts Academy

After getting off the vehicle, Qin Wu did not rush to take on the challenge.

As I slowly walked to the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy, I noticed that the academy was about the same size as a regular university. The first thing that caught my eye was a huge European-style stone archway, about ten meters high, with various patterns carved on the stone pillars. They looked like sculptures of Greek gods from Northern Europe, and the pillars, which were over ten meters high, were covered with them.

Above the archway, five large characters, "Heavenly Path Martial Arts Academy," were written in clerical script, which made it seem quite legitimate.

Like the archway, the entrance is also enclosed by a European-style iron gate. The tightly closed iron gate looks cold and gives people a sense of inexplicable oppression from a distance.

However, this didn't really affect Qin Wu; the only ones who seemed imposing were the soldiers standing guard with guns on the perimeter.

Like ordinary universities, martial arts academies also hire bodyguards. However, the bodyguards are only responsible for keeping people at the perimeter and know nothing about what happens inside the academy. But since they are soldiers, they are quite imposing in the eyes of ordinary people.

Qin Wu cleared his throat, stepped forward, looked at the armed soldiers, and smiled, "Hello, may I come in for a moment?"

The soldier with the gun looked serious and said sternly, "Non-students are not allowed to enter."

Qin Wu frowned slightly, not forcing his way in, but thinking about how to attract their attention and get the students inside to accept his challenge.

After silently leaving the martial arts academy, Qin Wu looked at the sky; it was getting dark.

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

That night, Qin Wu lay on the hotel bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Submit a challenge? Wouldn't that make me look too low-class? After all, I'm number one on the Earth Ranking, I can't afford to look bad, can I?"

"Or should we just shout at the door?"

Qin Wu suddenly sat up, his eyes shining.

"Maybe this method will work. Students in such strict academies are usually a bit arrogant. After all, what martial artist doesn't have a temper? Hmm, let's go first thing tomorrow morning."

After confirming his idea, Qin Wu fell into a deep sleep with a smile on his face.

……

The next day.

8:30 a.m.

Qin Wu, dressed in black and holding a silver Five Elements Spear, stood at the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy, proclaiming loudly: "Qin Wu, the number one on the Earth Ranking, has come to challenge the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy. All comers are welcome!"

"Qin Wu, ranked number one on the Earthly Ranking, has come to challenge the Heavenly Dao..."

Qin Wu focused his energy in his dantian and let out a series of loud shouts that echoed throughout the school and its surroundings.

Soon, Qin Wu's two shouts attracted a large crowd.

"Wow, the legendary number one on the Earth Ranking! Qin Wu! It really is Qin Wu. Why does he suddenly want to challenge the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy?"

"hiss--"

"Qin Wu has actually come to Shanghai! My god, that genius who disappeared for half a year suddenly burst forth a few days ago and jumped to the top of the Earth Ranking. His internal strength is truly invincible!"

"Tsk tsk, Qin Wu is here to challenge the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy, this is going to be a good show."

"We need to do a live stream right away! It's a rare opportunity to witness such a grand event, we can't just watch, we have to take photos and have some pictures with the participants."

"Yeah."

Immediately afterwards, countless people stopped and surrounded the Tiandao Martial Arts Academy, causing a traffic jam.

"Drip-drip-"

"drop--"

People rushing to work early in the morning kept honking their horns and shouting insults.

Soon, news of Qin Wu challenging the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy spread online and even topped the trending search list.

Sina Weibo: Qin Wu, the number one powerhouse on the Earth Ranking, suddenly appeared in Shanghai, just to challenge the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy. What is the meaning behind this?

Soon, the Weibo post was pinned to the top, and countless people followed suit with their own comments.

"First floor! I bet Qin Wu is here to establish his authority, since the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy was founded right around the time Qin Wu disappeared."

"I agree with the comment above. After all, it was Qin Wu who sparked a wave of martial arts enthusiasm back then, which led to the establishment of martial arts academies. The academies were established without Qin Wu's permission. If it were me, I would also be unhappy and would definitely hold them accountable."

"Bullshit, I think Qin Wu is just bored out of his mind, going around challenging the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy. Does he really think the academy has no one left?"

"Although the Martial Academy has only been established for a short time, it is full of powerful people. So what if he is ranked first on the Earth Ranking? There are many reclusive masters. Qin Wu was too arrogant this time and he will definitely suffer a setback."

"It's not like a dragon that can cross the river without a warning. Qin Wu suddenly appeared in Shanghai without any warning. Does he intend to flatten Shanghai bit by bit, just like he did when he founded Xingyi Men half a year ago?"

"Ha, what kind of crappy place is Chuncheng? It's not even a third the size of Shanghai. It's a fifth or sixth-tier city, just a nobody. Trying to flatten Shanghai is suicide."

……

Online, the opinions quickly split into three factions.

One faction sided with the Martial Academy, believing that the academy had the most people and the greatest strength, and that Qin Wu's challenge would only lead to his death.

The other side sided with Qin Wu, after all, Qin Wu had single-handedly conquered the entire Chun City and become its leader. Moreover, he later became the strongest in the Southwest Grand Competition, and this time he came as the number one on the Earth Ranking. Whether the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy dared to accept him was another matter entirely.

The rest remained silent, simply watching the show.

8:40 a.m.

Qin Wu had been shouting at the door for ten minutes, and more and more people were gathering at the entrance. Some even skipped work just to see Qin Wu in person. The street was packed with people, and within a fifty-meter radius of Qin Wu, men, women, and children were all staring at him with astonished eyes, as well as at the martial arts academy with its gates tightly closed.

"Qin Wu, ranked number one on the Earth Ranking, has come to challenge the Heavenly Dao Martial Academy..."

Just as Qin Wu was about to call out for the tenth time.

A furious roar exploded in mid-air.

"Qin Wu! You're too arrogant! Do you really think the martial arts academy has no one left?!"

.......

Chapter 232: Is the Martial Arts Academy deserted?!

"Qin Wu! Don't be so arrogant!"

"Everyone wants to challenge my Heavenly Dao Martial Academy, do you really think we're your targets for showing off? Qin Wu, you're asking for death!"

"Kill this bastard!"

……

The roar was so loud that Qin Wu, who was standing at the door, was slightly taken aback.

Why are you so angry?

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Every martial artist wants to be on the list, and constantly challenging themselves is the best way to do so.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so men and women gathered at the closed school gate, all wearing the same white school uniforms, including some elderly middle-aged people.
