Marvel Superheroes in China

"Is Master Lei a martial artist?"

22 “Of course, Master Lei has opened a martial arts school. He must be a martial artist.”

"Hahaha, holy crap, this guy dares to call himself a martial artist? Don't be fooled, this isn't a martial artist. Damn it, stop smearing martial artists, okay? Do you even know what a real martial artist looks like? What martial artist has the time to browse Weibo? Are you crazy?"

"Upstairs, you're talking like you've actually seen a martial artist. Martial artists have never shown themselves in public, so who knows if they even exist?"

"How busy can a martial artist be? Isn't it just practicing martial arts?"

"..."

Amidst the heated discussions, Lei Lei's challenge to UFC fighter Xu Dong has also garnered attention from various sectors of society.

On this day, all the news media gathered at the martial arts school.

Nationwide, many television stations were broadcasting live. Everyone was so curious about martial artists that finally, someone came forward claiming to be a traditional martial artist. Finally, someone was going to put their skills to the test.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

On this day, Lei Lei was still wearing his white training uniform, exuding the aura of a grandmaster. Surrounded by hundreds of disciples, he entered the training hall.

Across from him, Xu Dong, wearing boxing gloves, sat there, coldly watching Lei Lei walk in, and sneered:

"Traditional martial arts? I came back from the US this time to take on all the martial artists in China. I'll trample them all to prove that my UFC fighting style is the strongest in the world. Today, I'll beat you to death."

"..."

The competition began amidst great anticipation.

Lei Lei sneered and got into a fighting stance.

"start!"

As soon as the referee gave the whistle, Lei Lei got ready, and Xu Dong suddenly rushed over.

A punch landed squarely on Lei Lei's face.

This punch completely stunned everyone present.

This punch completely stunned the viewers watching the live broadcast on television and online.

Are Chinese martial artists really that weak?

Is this really that bad?

He... he just got punched like that?

Not over yet.

Xu Dong had initially been somewhat uncertain and skeptical, believing that martial artists must indeed possess some skill. However, he never expected that his probing punch would actually cause Lei Lei's nose to bleed.

Is this what a martial artist is?

Isn't this just an ordinary person who knows a few fancy tricks?

Thinking of this, Xu Dong rushed forward and frantically punched Lei Lei in the face.

'Bang, bang'

They chased after him and attacked him.

They pursued and attacked in a one-sided manner.

Just five seconds later, Lei Lei collapsed to the ground, and Xu Dong climbed on top of him without hesitation, pounding him mercilessly.

"KO!"

"stop!"

The referee yelled and pulled Xu Dong away.

Lei Lei's face was covered in blood, and he fell into a coma...

silence.

Utter silence!

At that moment, everyone in the country, including some incredibly curious foreigners, fell into absolute silence while watching the live broadcast.

A martial artist... is this what a martial artist is?

It's completely different from what we imagined.

The establishment of the Armed Forces Bureau in China was a grand affair, wielding immense power. And this is what martial artists are all about?

Even if you manage a draw, or at least a less-than-satisfying defeat, let alone beat Xu Dong, the TV stations will still hype it up and exaggerate the battle to the extreme.

But, but you got knocked out in five seconds, you were directly pinned to the ground and beaten.

How do you blow this?

You haven't even started to unleash your internal energy yet?

Or are you saying you're afraid to make a move because you're afraid you'll kill Xu Dong?

The entire Chinese internet was silent for an hour, then it exploded instantly.

"Fuck you!"

"Trash martial artist."

"In China, even the official channels are full of martial arts praising people."

"How dare someone so trashy call themselves a martial artist?"

"Who the hell said martial artists could be compared to superheroes? Come out and take your beating!"

"Holy shit, what a disgrace. A five-second knockout, and Xu Dong is still a fucking amateur in the UFC."

"Martial artists? Trash!"

"The Armaments Bureau? What gives you such power? We want to know the truth."

"Protest! Protest! I refuse to be led by an organization made up of garbage."

"Is this what a martial artist is? They've embarrassed us internationally. It's hilarious."

"..."

In an instant, the entire nation of China, and even the whole world, was affected.

Everyone, all ordinary people, were filled with insults.

To martial artists, there was only mockery and cold laughter...

Many people on Weibo have tried to clarify that Lei Lei is not a martial artist at all, but a fraud. However, no one believes him, no one thinks he is a fraud, and everyone thinks he represents martial artists.

At the same time, Xu Dong posted on Weibo:

"Chinese martial artists? Heh, nothing special. In a month, I will raze Wudang Mountain to the ground. In two months, I will raze Shaolin Temple to the ground. Wake up, stop dreaming of being martial artists. What martial artists? They're all trash. China has no strong warriors!"

"..."

Xu Dong's arrogance caused a huge uproar online.

Strangely enough, neither Wudang Mountain nor Shaolin Temple, the two sects that Xu Dong claimed he would challenge, made a single statement.

They remained silent throughout.

Outsiders think that Wudang and Shaolin have backed down...

However, only true martial artists understand that the real Wudang and Shaolin (not tourist attractions) simply don't care about the mortal world. No one on their side cares.

Once a martial artist has cultivated to a certain level, they will not care about the clamor of the weak.

Meanwhile, Batman, disguised and looking distressed, was searching for a martial arts sect to join while traveling around Henan.

I heard a while ago that the Flash, through Hulk's introduction, joined some kind of sect in Northeast China...

But I don't dare go alone. I need to act alone to save my life.

Batman, who had been on his way, also saw the shocking news from China and the video of Lei Lei being beaten. He sneered, "Ignorant fool, pretending to be a martial artist?"

He was too lazy to say more; there are swindlers everywhere.

But then Batman saw Xu Dong's Weibo post, saying he was going to flatten Wudang and Shaolin.

Wudang... Shaolin...

Batman's pupils contracted, a flicker of terror crossing his eyes, and he trembled involuntarily. Two days ago, Deadpool had spoken to him on the phone, recounting his past. Deadpool, known as immortal, had once been nearly killed in Wudang Mountain by a golden handprint descending from the sky without even seeing a single person…

A moment later, Batman sneered: "You're glad that Wudang and Shaolin didn't notice your comment, or that those two sects don't care about the thoughts of ordinary people. Otherwise... martial artists would wipe out entire families and massacre entire cities at the drop of a hat."

Thinking it over, Batman didn't bother to care about other people's business. He looked up at Mount Song in front of him and murmured:

"This is my last chance..."

Chapter 83: The List of Sky-High Prices

It's on the list.

Qin Wu was also surprised. He had only been back in China for a short time, and he was already on the list?

How could the Armaments Bureau's statistical capabilities be so powerful? They even managed to include someone like me who just returned to the country a few days ago in their statistics?
