Marvel Superheroes in China

Tantai Zhi even brought his formal attire today. He was prepared to give his acceptance speech.

All the audience members were incredibly bored today.

The audience, especially those in the southwest, felt a sense of oppression.

There's nobody in the southwest!

Tantai Zhi alone has scared away so many martial artists. In the entire Southwest, who among those with internal energy can withstand even a single blow from him?

"Sigh, the strongest in the Southwest Grand Competition, I never thought that in the end, it would really be Tantai Zhi from the Northwest who would be number 22."

"Why distinguish between the southwest and the northwest? We are all Chinese."

"That's different. This is a regional competition. I've heard that martial artists have a very strong sense of regional identity, and the bonds between people from the same hometown are even stronger."

"But it's really upsetting that Tantai Zhi from the Northwest actually won the championship."

"Huh, why is it just Tantai Zhi who came alone?"

"Holy crap, I found that too. Where's Qin Wu? And the other one?"

"..."

Many viewers noticed this phenomenon and began to question it.

Amidst these doubts, the organizers reluctantly announced that yet another martial artist had withdrawn from the competition…

Not only did that martial artist withdraw from the competition, but fearing that the organizers would force him to participate, he also left Xianyang overnight and disappeared without a trace.

At that moment, everyone in the entire venue was in an uproar.

Tantai Zhi hadn't expected this scene to unfold, and he stood on the ring laughing heartily.

"No one in the Southwest. Hahaha, no one in the Southwest at all. I never thought that I would become the strongest in the Southwest after just one battle and one victory. In ancient times, Zhang Fei's roar scared thousands of soldiers to death. Now, I, Tantai Zhi, have scared away hundreds of internal energy martial artists in the Southwest with just one battle."

"Hahaha, there's no one left in the southwest. Quickly declare me the victor."

"..."

Tantai Zhi laughed wildly on the ring. The entire arena was silent.

Inside the private room, Wu Huida's face was extremely gloomy. He was from the Southwest, and now Tantai Zhi said that there was no one in the Southwest.

He couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'm going to kill this bastard! He's gone too far! He's infuriating!"

Chen Baima gave him a cold glance: "His victory is his own skill. Who told him that no one in the Southwest could rival him? You, a mere Transformation Realm cultivator, trying to bully an Inner Realm cultivator, aren't you just a laughingstock?"

After saying that, Chen Baima frowned and said, "What worries me is, why isn't Qin Wu showing up? Qin Wu even dared to attack you, a mere Transformation Realm expert, before. He's a real martial arts fanatic. But what I didn't expect is that he's chickened out today. Go investigate and see if there's some kind of deal behind this. Tantai Zhisheng is getting away with this way too easily."

Anger flashed through Wu Huida's heart, and she suddenly said coldly, "Tell me, is Qin Wu's fearlessness just an act? Did he dare to attack me back then because he was certain that I wouldn't really kill him? Is that why he wanted to use this method to declare his uniqueness and attract your attention?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Baima's eyes narrowed.

silent.

Wu Huida thought about it and realized it made more and more sense: "In the end, Qin Wu is a coward, but he's incredibly cunning. He did manage to attract our attention, and even the attention of the Grandmasters. But... hehe, what's the use? The Southwest Grand Competition completely revealed his true colors."

Chen Baima raised one hand: "Stop talking, think about how to end this..."

The words are not finished yet.

But then, the situation on the stage took a turn.

Just as Tantai Zhi was shouting wildly, an old man holding a plum blossom sword suddenly jumped onto the stage and shouted, "There are people in the Southwest, there are plenty of people in the Southwest. I, Zhang Hongbing, will fight you to the death."

Zhang Hongbing felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He was very rational and knew that he was no match for Tantai Zhi. But at this moment, he couldn't hold back. The old man was very spirited.

A murderous glint flashed in Tantai Zhi's eyes, and he sneered, "Since when have even Tom, Dick, and Harry dared to bark at me like this..."

After saying that, Tantai Zhi suddenly stepped forward, holding the golden hammer of the drum.

Just then, from a dark corner in the distance, the judges and referees suddenly spoke in cold voices:

"Zhang Hongbing, since you already announced your withdrawal from the competition yesterday, you cannot come on stage now. Get off."

A hint of resentment flashed in Zhang Hongbing's eyes, but he knew in his heart that the judges and referees didn't want him to die!

Everyone knew, including Zhang Hongbing himself, that he absolutely couldn't withstand two moves from Tantai Zhi. But, for the sake of pride, he had to fight desperately.

Upon hearing the judge's words, Tantai Zhi's eyes flashed with a hint of sneer, but he dared not take another step forward.

Chapter 116: Qin Wu Didn't Run Away

Although the judge's words were addressed to Zhang Hongbing, they were also meant for Tantai Zhi.

Zhang Hongbing is no longer a contestant. If he were to make a move against him now, the powerful figures in the Southwest who have long disliked him would probably use this as an excuse to kill him.

Tantai Zhi is not stupid.

He immediately snorted coldly, turned around, and shouted: "Nobody in the Southwest!"

The sound shook the world.

Shocked the whole audience.

Below the stage, the experts with strong internal energy felt as if they wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

People aren't the kind of people who risk their lives in a desperate fight; it's only because there's a glimmer of hope.

But no one would be foolish enough to knowingly be outmatched and still try to show off. That would be insane.

"How abominable!"

"I can't take this breath."

Where is Qin Wu?

"Did Qin Wu also flee overnight?"

"But Qin Wu withdrew from the competition without even saying a word?"

"Alas, how long ago was it that the entire martial arts community in Southwest China placed its hopes on a person whose muscles and bones resonated together?"

"Damn it. This is awful!"

"..."

Tantai Zhi roared, "I declare myself the winner. I have no more opponents."

After a moment of silence, the judge said coldly, "The competition ends at 1 p.m., and it's 12:30 p.m. now. There's still half an hour left. There are still people who haven't announced their withdrawal. If there are no unexpected events in half an hour, we will announce your victory."

Tantai Zhi sneered, "Is it Qin Wu? Hahaha, he fled overnight, how dare he come here?"

The judges fell silent.

“…¨¨…”

Meanwhile, inside the hotel...

With a loud 'boom,' Qin Wu's entire body trembled violently.

At this moment, black sweat was constantly flowing from his entire body.

At the same time, countless streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth frantically converged into Qin Wu's body, forming a surging torrent of true essence within him.

It moved around a bit, making a popping sound all over its body.

At this moment, all the meridians in my body are fully connected.

An internal force arose out of nowhere, coursing through his entire body with a series of booming sounds...

Qin Wu took a deep breath and opened his eyes, his gaze blazing with intense light:

"Internal strength! Internal strength!"

"Twenty years have passed, and I have regained my former level."

"At the age of twenty, I finally reached the level that I had only achieved when I was fifty in my previous life."

"Internal strength!"

Host: Qin Wu

Martial Arts Points: 530,000

Strength (jin): 10000

Injury recovery: 100

Secret Technique: Cloud and Mist Lightness Skill (Level 1)

"..."

'Ka'

Pushing open the door, Qin Wu walked out of the hotel.

Looking up at the stadium in the distance, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "The final battle?"

"I am coming!"

"..."
