Seeing Thor's somewhat dejected look, Shen Mu directly tossed mjolnir in his hand towards him.
Subconsciously, Thor reached out and caught his beloved hammer.
Immediately, a feeling of joy at recovering what he had lost filled his heart.
"Thor, how long are you going to stand there in a daze? The battle isn't over yet!"
As Shen Mu's voice reached Thor's ears, a black claw also came into view.
The next second, Thor was once again sent flying with a heavy blow.
Shen Mu was no longer waiting in place; instead, he flew up directly.
He was ready to unleash a combo on Thor.
However, the next moment, Shen Mu slammed on the brakes, stopping just in front of Thor.
Because at this moment, Thor's entire body was flickering with electricity, and at the same time, the weather above the arena began to change drastically.
"It's Thor, he's going to start his counterattack!"
As Thor's good friends, the Three Warriors naturally knew what this change meant.
One must know that Thor is the God of Thunder, not the God of Hammers.
Wielding lightning is his true skill, and while this skill hasn't fully awakened yet, relying on mjolnir is enough to unleash powerful lightning attacks!
Sure enough, to the enthusiastic cheers of all the onlookers.
A brilliant bolt of lightning fell from the sky, landing on Shen Mu in the blink of an eye.
Shen Mu, who didn't use his super speed, took the hit squarely.
As expected, the lightning mixed with divine power directly shattered Shen Mu's scales, but that was all!
The lightning ultimately failed to penetrate his skin, deep into his flesh and bones, only leaving him with a tingling sensation.
It looked somewhat like it was running out of steam.
"Thor's divine lightning can also be considered a type of magic, I suppose!"
"But it doesn't seem to cause as much damage to me as I imagined, perhaps because Thor hasn't awakened yet."
The small amount of scales that fell off had absolutely no effect on Shen Mu.
They could quickly grow back with a little Sun exposure.
"Shen Mu, don't be too careless!"
Seeing his attack work, Thor seemed to vent all the frustration he had accumulated from being constantly suppressed by Shen Mu!
A hint of smugness inevitably crept into his words; at this moment, he felt he was capable again!
Just now, Shen Mu's condescending tone, telling him to pay attention to unseen movements, had made the proud Thor hold his breath in anger. Now that he had the chance, of course, he wanted to get even.
"Well done! Thor!"
"That's it, this is how the God of Thunder of Asgard should be."
Seeing Thor seemingly gain a slight advantage, the Three Warriors and Sif immediately became elated.
Regardless, as their friend, even if they highly admired warriors, their hearts were naturally more inclined towards Thor.
"Thor, is your attack only capable of this? It's not even enough to tickle me!"
"Come on, keep coming!"
When it came to verbal attacks, Shen Mu was, of course, not to be outdone.
He extended a claw, performing a legendary technique that combined 'One-Finger Zen' and 'Lion's Roar'.
"Shen Mu, your demeanor has angered me; the real battle is about to begin now."
It seemed that the joy of recovering mjolnir had stirred the dormant power of Thor within him, showing signs of truly awakening!
"Damn it, this guy got stronger again!"
Loki, who had originally come to watch Thor get utterly thrashed, clearly noticed that Thor had actually grown stronger during the battle!
He, who was already far behind Thor in terms of combat ability, now found it even harder to catch up!
Although he always believed that wisdom was the most important quality for a king, Asgard's current status was not achieved through tolerance and benevolence.
Against all threats, one must use absolute violence to completely subdue them.
Therefore, Loki also longed for great power, for no other reason than to gain Odin's approval.
Returning to the arena, Thor, provoked by Shen Mu, slightly loosened his grip on the hammer's handle, allowing the hammer to slide down.
Thor grabbed the rope at the bottom of the handle, quickly twirling it before running forward with momentum.
Finally, the hammer in his hand swung upwards, aiming for Shen Mu's chin.
At the same time, the lightning in the sky was also assisting his attack.
Several leaping bolts of lightning sealed off all the possible escape routes around Shen Mu!
Thor seemed to feel that he was about to wash away the humiliating label of a defeated warrior!
However, the next moment, his dream was shattered!
Since Shen Mu had found a way to counter Mjolnir, and with his strength far surpassing Thor's, there was no need to dodge at all.
He fully activated his bio-force field, loosely gripping the head of mjolnir with one claw, while the other claw unceremoniously slammed into Thor's back.
Of course, Thor was no slouch either; seeing the situation was unfavorable, he seized the opportunity to let go of the hammer, sliding under Shen Mu's belly to get behind him.
Then, he took the chance to grab Shen Mu's tail, seemingly intending to spin him around and throw him away.
However, he thought too simply.
One must know that the force in Shen Mu's tail might even be greater than the force of his claw swings.
So, before Thor's plan could be completed, Shen Mu was seen swinging his tail left and right, dragging Thor harshly across the ground.
Immediately, the already battered ground suffered again.
Finally, the moment Thor couldn't hold on any longer and let go of Shen Mu.
Shen Mu suddenly turned around and instantly grabbed his cape with one claw.
"Thor, a word of advice: wearing a cape during battle isn't a wise choice."
Immediately, an ominous premonition swept through Thor's entire body.
"Shen Mu, wait..."
Before he could finish the word 'wait,' Shen Mu was seen swinging him, smashing him left and right on the ground twice more.
However, Shen Mu didn't use much strength; he merely wanted to replicate some famous scenes he had seen before.
Therefore, Thor was not injured, only feeling dizzy and his blood rushing to his head.
"Yes, this is what I wanted to see!"
Loki, watching this scene from outside the arena, felt an inexplicable excitement.
It was an indescribable feeling, in short, it felt great!
Finally, Shen Mu placed Thor on the ground and said, "The battle is over!"
Thor also knew that Shen Mu's last two moves were mercy within mercy!
It would be shameless to continue challenging him.
"You won, Shen Mu."
"However, I can already feel it, my power is about to awaken, and when it does, I will definitely defeat you."
Thor readily conceded to Shen Mu.
"Good, I'll be waiting for your next challenge."
"But, you'd better be quick, otherwise, the gap between you and me will only grow wider."
Shen Mu didn't forget to provoke Thor at this moment.
Immediately, Thor's gaze towards Shen Mu was once again filled with fighting spirit.
He felt he had gained a lot from this battle; the surge of power he felt earlier showed him another realm.
However, suddenly remembering that his mjolnir had been lifted by Shen Mu, Thor's mood plummeted to rock bottom again.
"mjolnir cheated on me!"
This was what Thor was thinking at that moment.
