In fact, Wang Qing had arrived quite early. He saw Qin Wu practicing his boxing but didn't disturb him. However, he became completely absorbed in watching Qin Wu practice.

There was such an exquisite and powerful fist technique in this world, as if every move was born for killing. Every step was an attack, every step was a killing intent. He put himself in it and found that he might not even be able to last two moves. Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Wu looked at Wang Qing beside him and asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

Wang Qing immediately came to his senses, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Master Lu, please come over."

"Lu Acai? Okay, I'll go right away." Qin Wu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Before long, Qin Wu arrived at Lu Acai's residence. After knocking on the door and going inside, he found Chen Baima there as well. No wonder Wang Qing had come to call him.

"Sit down." Lu Acai didn't get up, but slightly raised her hand and pointed to a chair in front of her.

"I wonder why the Grandmaster and the Garrison Commander have summoned me here?"

Lu Acai's eyes revealed deep sorrow, and his face showed exhaustion. He sighed slightly and said, "It's not a good thing. Not many people know about this yet, but Garrison Commander Chen and I think we should tell them."

Qin Wu's expression immediately turned serious. If even Lu Acai found something troublesome, the problem must be quite serious.

Chen Baima then chimed in: "During the three months you were missing, the sun lost its light on Earth. After that, the spiritual energy on Earth increased every day. The Nascent Soul stage experts in China speculated that the barrier between the plane and Earth was slowly weakening, causing the spiritual energy of the plane to dissipate into Earth. Perhaps one day, people from the plane will be able to enter Earth directly without going through the dazzling light channel."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu frowned, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

"What does the Grandmaster mean?"

"South Moon City has recently suffered a great loss of strength, and Dawn City has decided to take it down in one fell swoop."

"Kill it? But what about the tree demon in Nanyue City..."

Qin Wu had a bit of a headache. He almost died at the hands of that tree demon last time, and if he went again, he probably wouldn't be as lucky as last time...

Lu Acai's expression changed slightly, and she said calmly, "The tree demons have a limited range of movement. Destroying them doesn't mean killing them all, just driving them away is enough."

"Fortunately, you destroyed part of Nanyue City's defenses this time, severely weakening them. They certainly won't be able to launch a large-scale war in the short term. If we could get a spirit mine, Dawn City's strength would definitely be greatly enhanced."

Since returning from Lu Acai's place, Qin Wu has been restless. If the interdimensional army really attacks, he will have a hard time protecting himself. Will he just stand by and watch his sister Natasha and the others be mercilessly slaughtered?

Chuncheng, Xingyimen.

Natasha was practicing her stance on the back hill when suddenly she opened her eyes. Not far away, under a large tree, a young man dressed in black was smiling at her.

The longing she had felt for so many days suddenly turned into a torrent of tears, and in a flash, Natasha rushed into Qin Wu's arms.

2.2

Qin Wu gently comforted Natasha, feeling a pang of guilt in his heart. He had been gone for three months; she must have been very worried about him.

"I'm back." A thousand words were in my heart, but they couldn't express them as simply as this one.

Natasha raised her head, wiped away her tears, and said in a choked voice, "Yes, it's good that you're back. Next time you go out, you must take me with you. I don't want to spend these days waiting for you here like they're never going to end."

"I came back this time specifically to talk to you about this matter; there are some things you should already know."

Chapter 360: Revealing the Truth (5)

The news of Qin Wu's return spread throughout the entire Xingyi School in an instant.

A large crowd stood outside the main hall of the Xingyi Sect, all excitedly waiting for Qin Wu.

After a moment, Qin Wu slowly walked in with Natasha, and then sat down steadily on the chair at the very top of the hall.

Soon, led by Li Qiushui, all the disciples in the sect knelt on one knee, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and shouted loudly:

"Disciple respectfully welcomes Master back to the mountain!"

"Congratulations, Master, on reaching the top of the Heavenly Ranking!"

Qin Wu looked at his disciples, a smile of satisfaction flashing across his lips, but when he thought of what Lu Acai had said, a sense of worry returned to his heart.

"Get up, all of you. You are all very good. I will personally test your skills tomorrow. Those who have already reached the internal strength level, please stay. The rest of you may leave now."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing that Qin Wu was going to personally teach them martial arts, the disciples happily withdrew.

In the council hall of Xingyi Sect, Qin Wu sat in the central seat, flanked by Natasha and Li Qiushui.

Further down the list, you'll find Zhang Yixing, the White Queen, and seven or eight other disciples whose names I don't know.

Qin Wu couldn't help but feel ashamed. He, as the head of Xingyi Sect, was even more powerful than a hands-off manager. He couldn't even name his own disciples, who would be considered elites in other sects in terms of internal strength.

Before Qin Wu could speak, Li Qiushui, the senior disciple of Xingyi Sect, eagerly asked, "Master, please tell us where you went. Why does your cultivation level increase dramatically every time you return? If there is such a good place, could you take your disciple with you next time you go?"

Li Qiushui's words immediately struck a chord with everyone, and they quickly started talking.

Wang Sicong said expectantly, "Yes, we also want to see it. Every time we see the Heavenly Ranking, it says how mighty Master is, how many enemies he has killed, but where do all these martial artists come from?"

Looking at the curious expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Wu sighed slightly and said with a complicated expression, "It's time to tell you the truth. Flowers in a greenhouse can never grow."

Half an hour later, the council chamber was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Natasha recovered from her shock: "So all we know about superheroes is a joke, and the real heroes are always fighting while we're just sheep living on a pasture?"

Li Qiushui clenched her fist and said resolutely, "Master, I want to go to another plane. Although I'm just cannon fodder now, I don't want to be a lamb being raised anymore."

Wang Sicong's eyes dimmed. After hearing Qin Wu's words, he felt a mix of emotions: "Why are Kryptonians born with internal strength and adults with external strength, while we have to train so hard?"

Looking at the dejected group, Qin Wu said calmly, "Everything has its gains and losses. The Kryptonians and the Eternals have high expectations, but they will never become the ultimate powerhouses. But we humans are different. We have unlimited potential. That is why, despite our weakness, we can rank among the top three in this universe."

Wang Sicong shuddered, suddenly realizing how absurd his idea could have been. He immediately stood up and said, "Disciple is ashamed, please punish me, Master."

Qin Wu waved his hand dismissively. It was normal for half of the people to be somewhat unsettled upon hearing such shocking news.

Natasha then asked with a worried expression, "Has the situation on Earth really become this dire?"

Qin Wu nodded silently and said, "The most important thing for you now is to improve your own strength so that you can protect yourselves in the future."

Then, Qin Wu called Natasha to his room, and with a wave of his hand, a bunch of things appeared in the room.

"These are spirit stones I obtained in another dimension. They can help us improve our strength as quickly as possible, but we must use them with caution. You should know the saying, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' Also, the flesh and blood of these demonic beasts are of great help to the cultivation of low-level disciples."

Natasha looked at the mountain of 320 items in front of her and felt a little lost. She knew that these things were hard-won and definitely not as simple as he said.

"I will definitely make good use of these resources. You don't have to worry about Xingyi Sect. I will take care of it for you. Are you getting ready to leave again?"

Qin Wu hugged Natasha tightly, feeling guilty. He stroked her long hair, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "I must become strong so that I can have a place to stand in the future."

Natasha nestled in Qin Wu's arms, secretly resolving, "I must cultivate diligently so that I can fight alongside you someday."

For the next few days, Qin Wu stayed with Natasha, during which time he taught the last four moves of the Five Elements Spear Technique to several internal energy disciples, and took time each day to guide the disciples on their cultivation difficulties.

While everyone in the Xingyi Sect was frantically practicing, Qin Wu had already quietly arrived in Yanjing. He went to Wu Huida's residence, sensed the aura there, and smiled slightly.

"Not bad, you've already reached the Gang Jin stage."

Chapter 361: The Gathering of Destinies (6)

Wu Huida was sitting cross-legged on a futon when he suddenly frowned. Someone was brazenly using their spiritual power to spy on him.

He was furious and decided to teach this arrogant person a lesson. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

When he hovered in the air and looked down at that person, he was completely stunned.

Wu Hui's mouth gaped open. She stiffly raised her right hand, her fingers trembling as she pointed at the other person, and said in a hoarse voice, "Qin Wu!?"

"Long time no see, Wu Sanlong." Qin Wu waved to Wu Huida.

"Qin Wu, you're not dead, that's great! Quickly hand over my 10 billion and 100 high-grade spirit stones. You promised me that before we entered Nanyue City."

Qin Wu's expression immediately changed, and he ignored Wu Hui Da and turned to leave.

Wu Hui followed closely behind and grabbed Qin Wu, saying, "Didn't you say you were going to get a ton of spirit stones before you went? A hundred yuan is just a drop in the bucket for you."

"When did I say I would give you a hundred spirit stones, especially high-grade ones? I remember saying that I would give you a share after I got the spirit stones. Wu Sanlong, have you become arrogant since you entered the Gang Jin realm?"

Wu Huida then took a closer look at Qin Wu. In just three months, he had already reached the late stage of the Transformation Realm. This was a formidable figure who could kill a Gang Realm expert even in the early stage of the Transformation Realm. Wu Huida smiled awkwardly and said.

"Haha, really? Then it must be because I'm getting old and my memory isn't very good. But I'll still get my share, right?"

Qin Wu looked at Wu Huida with a serious expression and said, "I, Qin Wu, am a man of my word. What I say will always be true."

After saying that, he pulled out a handful of low-grade spirit stones from his shirt pocket and stuffed them into Wu Huida's hand. Wu Huida looked at the four low-grade spirit stones in his hand, his face as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. He opened his mouth a few times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Qin Wu sighed and said with regret, "It's a pity that the spirit stones were scattered when I fled. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only these. If you think it's not enough, you can have Brother Leng's too. I believe Brother Leng doesn't care about these spirit stones."

Wu Huida didn't want to listen to his stories anymore, so she turned and left.

"Senior! I'm planning to return to my dimension today, are you coming or not!" Qin Wu shouted as Wu Huida was about to enter.

"go with!"

Dimension, Dawn City.

"That's roughly the situation now." Qin Wu told Wu Huida and Lü Jianguo about the situation on Earth in detail.

After hearing this, the two fell silent. In the past, everyone thought that as long as the passage was not breached, Earth would be safe. But now it's different. As long as the beings from different dimensions remain still, once the barrier between the two worlds disappears, the road to Earth is completely open. They can come and go as they please.

Lu Jianguo, speaking fluent Northeastern dialect, said, "Qin Wu, just tell me your thoughts. I support you. I'm not afraid even if you have to go to Nanyue City again."

Qin Wu gave a wry smile, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He said, "What ideas can I have? The only way forward now is to improve my strength as quickly as possible."
