Marvel Superheroes in China

These beings from other planes have been here for hundreds of years. There's no need to let them perish over something; it's not worth it. So, after seeing that Nanyue City had withdrawn its troops, the city lord of Tubang City hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat 500 miles away from Shuguang City. These troops are elite, and if they are killed inexplicably, it will affect the normal course of the war.

The beings in the other planes couldn't guarantee what crazy things these suddenly influxed human warriors might do.

Moreover, even the Superman race and Thanos's race knew about the almost insane things happening in Dawn City.

When they finally found out what it was all about, they were shocked to learn that the martial artists who had flocked to them were so crazy because of a battle between two internal energy cultivators.

At this moment, Dawn City also went mad.

……knife.

Chapter 258: Absolute Security

Nearly ten thousand martial artists poured into Dawn City in an instant, which naturally attracted the attention of Lu Acai and Chen Baima. The two did not expect that a small competition would cause such a big reaction. If they knew it was a competition of internal strength, they would think it was a competition of grandmaster level, which is why it attracted nearly ten thousand people.

The once spacious Dawn City is now completely blocked by martial artists who have suddenly arrived from all over the world, and the soldiers are also frightened by this exaggerated scene.

The soldiers guarding the city gate have been registering people continuously for almost 24 hours, starting last night.

Seeing these lines stretching as far as the eye could see, even the soldiers guarding the city were terrified. They had never seen such a magnificent scene before; as far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.

That's far more than tens of thousands!

"My God... What on earth is happening in the city? Why are martial artists from all over the world here? What's going on? Is Dawn City going to have a final battle with the plane beings? I haven't heard anything about it!"

"You don't know? Are you new here? Our number one on the Earth Ranking, Leng Ruxiang, is going to challenge Qin Wu, who is number two! The duel is tomorrow!"

"hiss--"

"Really? Then it's really hard to say who will win or lose! One is a once-in-a-century prodigy, and the other is a newly born genius. No wonder it has caused such a commotion. I thought something had happened. But then again, I think Qin Wu is bound to lose."

"I think so too. After all, a man who has been at the top of the rankings for years is not so easy to lose."

The procession outside the city, starting from Dawn City and continuing all the way to the Radiant Passage, had been walking for over twenty hours and was still not finished.

The martial artists' faces were filled with anticipation, as if they were very concerned about tomorrow's final battle.

Whether inside or outside the city, people were everywhere. The dueling ground and training ground were already packed with people, three or four layers deep. Some were sitting on the ground, and some were flying in the air. Ten thousand martial artists surrounded the small training ground with more than a dozen layers of people.

Including the warriors who were previously sent to Dawn City, the number of visitors to this exhibition is a whopping 30,000 to 40,000!

Spider-Man, Iron Man, Green Nation, Kent, and even Thanos have all come, which shows how attractive this battle is. With the exception of a few, almost all the American superheroes who have reached the Inner Strength level in China have come here to witness this once-in-a-century battle of monstrous talents.

……

Lu Acai's room in the northwest corner of Dawn City.

At this moment, Lu Acai's room was already full of people, including three Grandmasters, eight Qi Realm experts, and all the leaders of Dawn City, including Lu Acai and Chen Baima.

Everyone's face was filled with solemnity, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense.

This battle had nothing to do with Lu Acai, and he couldn't even be bothered to care. Why should a high-level Grandmaster like him care about a fight between two internal energy cultivators? Just kidding. Chen Baima was too lazy to get involved. What's so interesting about kids fighting?

But others didn't think that way. Countless martial artists with the Transcendent Realm of Inner Strength descended upon the capital city in almost a single day, and then poured into the Dimensional Dawn City in a frenzy. There were tens of thousands of martial artists in this group, and even if Lu Acai didn't want to, he had no choice but to intervene.

Lu Acai frowned, her expression grave, and said, "In less than two days, Dawn City has gained more than 10,000 martial artists. What are they planning? For a duel? They've made the whole world aware of it, so there's no need to guard the other entrances anymore? Once the plane beings discover that other cities are undefended, the consequences will be far more serious than what we see now. Who will be responsible if humanity suffers heavy losses as a result?"

Lu Acai was somewhat agitated, her words laced with hostility, seemingly dissatisfied with the duel. A fight like this was one thing, but to have it become known to martial artists worldwide meant that Dawn City was now coveted by numerous forces: the demons of the Dark Night Forest, the planar beings, and the unknown beings of this world. Dawn City was now in a grave crisis...

Although Chen Baima was seriously injured, his recovery ability was quite good. His face was no longer wrapped in bandages, as long as his body was still intact.

Hearing Lu Acai's slightly reproachful words, he was also on tenterhooks, his forehead dripping with cold sweat. He hadn't expected that a mere martial arts competition would cause such a commotion. To be honest, Chen Baima had never seen tens of thousands of martial artists gathered together since he was born. What an enormous force that was!

Looking at the solemn faces of the crowd, Chen Baima said with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated. Although the battle between Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang can't be considered a super decisive battle, to those below the Transformation Realm, it's a battle between two geniuses. So their curiosity is understandable. In addition, various city-states have also sent notices that each city will have three Grandmasters stationed there, along with countless troops. Apart from a few independent martial artists, the security of the city-states can be temporarily disregarded."

He paused for a moment, then continued, “At noon today, we received a report from the front lines that the armies of Nanyue City and Tubang City have each retreated five hundred li. They are obviously afraid. There are tens of thousands of powerful martial artists within the territory, which is the main fighting force. They dare not make any rash moves. I think Shuguang City is not dangerous at all, but is absolutely safe.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought. Chen Baima's words were not without reason. Tens of thousands of martial artists, all of whom were on the Heaven and Earth Ranking, possessed extraordinary strength. They would be considered top-tier figures in any other plane.

Lu Acai thought for a moment, then sighed slightly, but her expression still looked rather unpleasant.

"So what are your thoughts on this duel?"

.......

Chapter 259: Not only are we divided into superior and inferior, but we are also determined to live or die (4)

Chen Baima took the lead and spoke first: "Actually, I don't really approve of this competition. After all, we are currently at war. Leng Ruxiang and Qin Wu are both geniuses among geniuses. It would be a loss for us human martial artists to hurt either of them."

Upon hearing this, an elderly master standing beside Chen Baima nodded, his tone slightly somber: "That's right, so I suggest that this battle be stopped short of a draw."

"Stop it here?"

Lu Acai was somewhat surprised. Although he didn't know how much preparation Qin Wu had made for this competition, just by looking at the excitement, he knew that it was definitely not going to be a mere formality.

He shook his head and slowly said, "I don't really agree with stopping short of a fight. As you've all seen, more than 22 warriors have come to Dawn City today, from all over the world. Even the Kryptonians and Thanos's people from other planes have sent people to watch this battle. If we stop short of a fight, it will probably have a negative impact on the warriors' mentality. Our allies don't want us to just talk the talk but not walk the walk either."

Lu Acai looked around, her expression stern.

"I suggest that this battle should be decided not only by superiority but also by life and death."

In martial arts sparring, there is no such thing as stopping when you've hit a mark or almost giving up. Either you get killed, or you kill the other person. Another possibility is that you kneel down and beg for mercy, in which case the other person might let you go, but you will never survive in the martial arts world.

A martial artist is one who reveres martial prowess.

If you lose, you must be able to accept defeat gracefully and brilliantly.

Even if you die in battle, you will still receive the respect of ten thousand warriors.

Lu Acai's achievements today are inseparable from his ruthlessness back then. He rarely took the initiative to challenge others; it was always others who challenged Lu Acai. The rules were agreed upon beforehand: either I die or you die. Otherwise, Lu Acai would not have become a Grandmaster of the Upper Realm.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the room looked at each other and began to discuss among themselves.

"It divides people into high and low, and even life and death. Isn't that a bit too cruel?"

"Yes, one of them is a peak Inner Strength cultivator who has been at the top of the Earth Ranking for many years. His strength has already surpassed the Transformation Realm, but he just hasn't broken through yet. If he were to enter the Transformation Realm, his strength would probably increase another level. If he dies like this, wouldn't humanity lose a genius martial artist?"

"Then why didn't you think Qin Wu would lose? Although this kid has been called a prodigy for many years, his strength is only at the mid-stage of internal energy. The difference between the mid-stage and the peak is not small. Not to mention that Leng Ruxiang has been studying spear techniques for hundreds of years. Back then, there was a saying that if you didn't master the subtlety of spear techniques, you would never leave seclusion! Compared to Qin Wu, I care more about Leng Ruxiang."

"That's right, that's right."

“I think so too. I think it’s necessary to give Qin Wu a lesson in ideology. Why did he have to go to Leng Ruxiang of all people?”

……

The lobby was slightly noisy.

Lu Acai nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the competition should be tomorrow."

Chen Baima nodded, his expression slightly solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the time is set for 12 noon tomorrow, and the location is the military training ground in Dawn City."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall exchanged glances.

Lu Acai took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Alright, let's go tomorrow. Since so many spectators have gone to great lengths to come to Dawn City, we should at least let them see our hospitality."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

"clear."

……

Meanwhile, after Lu Acai and others finished discussing the results, Chen Baima and the others headed straight for the training ground.

Along the way, Chen Baima kept looking at the long lines of martial artists, and his expression was rather unpleasant.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly: "You little bastard, you fight and you even need me to cover for you? You've really reached a certain level, even a grandmaster has to personally step in to support you."

Dawn City is currently in a frenzy of activity. Many martial artists are trying to maintain order by holding onto the groups tightly to prevent them from running around. Among the tens of thousands of people in this large group are many new martial artists who are entering this plane for the first time and don't understand many things. This is where the martial artists from Dawn City need to explain or help them.

Chen Baima and the others were no exception; while the audience was happy, they suffered.

It was afternoon, and the sky was still dark. The group arrived at the training ground one by one. Seeing the crowded training ground, they all frowned and looked unhappy.

Although Chen Baima was slightly surprised, his face remained dark: "Why are there so many people?"

The several powerful warriors following behind him smiled wryly and said, "Governor, besides the spectators, we in Dawn City already have many martial artists. I think that fighting in front of a large audience is a kind of training for Qin Wu or Leng Ruxiang, a tempering of their martial spirit. Qin Wu's rapid progress is probably due to his dedication and fearlessness in the martial arts."

Upon hearing this, the frowns of the group eased slightly; the words may be rough, but the reasoning was sound.

Although Chen Baima was dissatisfied, this was indeed a test for martial artists. With thousands of people watching, the pressure would definitely increase, and the battle would become even more intense.

A martial artist needs nothing but fearlessness!

Chapter 260: The Announcement Tomorrow (5)

at the same time.

In two corners of the Dawn Car, in slightly dimly lit rooms.

Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang had made ample preparations and were in a state of extreme concentration, so they didn't notice that the dimensional city had changed drastically because of them.

The two considered all possible and even impossible worst-case scenarios. They also simulated and estimated each other's strength, guessing each other's strongest move, explosive power, and so on.

In contrast, Leng Ruxiang seemed rather indifferent. After all, he had lived for over a hundred years and took everything in stride. So it was just a thought. For him, as long as he gave it his all, it would be a spectacular battle.

As for life and death, he hadn't really thought about it, after all, he was invincible below the Transcendent Realm.

On the contrary, Qin Wu's reaction was quite intense. From yesterday to today, Qin Wu only rested for 4 hours, and spent all the other time simulating various battle scenarios.

"I have been preparing for this battle for two years. I absolutely cannot make a mistake here. If I make even the slightest mistake, I will be dead."

Qin Wu's eyes were sharp as he sat cross-legged, his brows slightly furrowed, silently chanting in his mind.
