Just call me Thor - Chapter 314

Chapter 314: I have a feeling Thor is lying to us
Master Nine, officially the ninth-ranked expert in Guardian Shadow.

In reality, Blaze Morrow had learned privately that he was the foremost expert in Soul Element among the human race!

“Wait a minute…”

Blaze Morrow’s mind had been much clearer recently, and he immediately reacted,

“Then you…”

Master Nine was usually a phantom, never to be seen.

Blaze Morrow hadn’t seen Master Nine in over thirty years.

Moreover, Guardian Shadow usually only dealt with their own.

The Fourth Bro in front of him, since he was Shadow Nine’s brother and called himself Fourth Bro…

Could it be, Shadow Four?!

Hiss—

Blaze Morrow gasped, feeling his scalp tingle.

Why would an expert like Shadow Four interact with him like this?

A name immediately popped into Blaze Morrow’s mind—Mike!

Shadow Four had once wanted to nurture a junior, a fire element…

Mike, that kid, Blaze Morrow had just heard internal news upon his return that the little fox had undergone a Second Awakening!

Could it be that the junior Shadow Four was nurturing was Mike?!

It all made sense!

Everything in Blaze Morrow’s mind clicked into place.

Back then, when Jessica awakened an F-tier talent and was utterly disheartened, it was a casual remark from Mike that allowed her to successfully undergo a Second Awakening.

With Mike’s strength, he naturally couldn’t have done such a thing.

Blaze Morrow was certain that this was no coincidence!

Now it seemed that it was Mike’s protector—Shadow Four, who had secretly noticed something.

Shadow Four, through Mike, had given Jessica the guidance she needed.

Having figured everything out, Blaze Morrow felt himself getting smarter and smarter.

Such a complex matter, and he had untangled it all in just a few dozen seconds!

Blaze Morrow cupped his fist in salute,

“Fourth Bro, I will never forget your great kindness for the rest of my life!”

Mike, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed and waved his hand. “It’s nothing, just a small matter. Let’s continue talking about your sheep… I mean, soul nurturing.”

Mike cleared his throat and said,

“I’ll prescribe you a potion first, for brain nourishment, to temporarily stabilize your condition.”

After writing the prescription, Mike handed it to Blaze and reminded him, “Since you’ve already guessed that I’m from Guardian Shadow, I won’t hide it from you. But don’t tell anyone else about me.”

Blaze Morrow nodded repeatedly. “Understood, understood!”

“Also, I’ll help you contact other Soul Element experts within Guardian Shadow.”

Mike still bore a sliver of responsibility for Blaze’s inability to break through to Lord.

Out of responsibility for Blaze, Mike had to help him completely resolve this hidden trouble.

After putting away the potion, Blaze Morrow took the initiative to ask, “About the consultation fee…”

Mike waved him off. “We’ll settle it all together after you’re cured.”

Earning a few measly coins here and there was beneath Mike now!

If he was going to earn, he was going to earn big!

Without further ado with Blaze, Mike quickly left the Trade Secret Realm and returned to the restroom.

Looking at the toilet, Mike spoke again,

“Mr. Three, besides Shadow Nine, who is the strongest Soul Element expert in Guardian Shadow?”

Shadow Three didn’t hesitate and gave the answer directly,

“Those two idiots, Shadow Two.”

Oh…

Mike had no choice but to say,

“Please, summon Shadow Two.”

A few seconds later, Shadow Three emerged from the shadows, dragging Bad Woman along, and tossed her in front of Mike.

Bad Woman’s booming voice filled the entire restroom. “What is it that we have to discuss in the restroom?!”

Clearly, Shadow Two had some unpleasant memories associated with the restroom.

Memories related to the Restroom Titan, Calderon.

Mike chuckled. “Shadow Two, I need your help with something.”

“Alright.”

Bad Woman agreed readily. “But you know my condition.”

Among the top three experts in Guardian Shadow, only Shadow Two’s condition was currently within Mike’s capabilities.

And what was it? To teach Shadow Two how to be a better person!

Teaching people how to be better, that was Mike’s specialty!

“No problem!”

Mike was prepared and asked,

“Let’s synchronize our teaching progress.

Last time, what little life lesson did Shadow Nine teach you?”

“I know, I know!”

A squeaky voice came from Bad Woman’s shadow.

Bad Man answered first, “Last time, Shadow Nine taught us…”

The two Shadow Twos said in unison, “Don’t be too Thor!”

Don’t be too Thor!

As soon as these words came out, Mike’s face darkened.

What was Shadow Nine trying to do, sabotage him?

Mike made up his mind.

When Shadow Nine returned from the Supreme Abyss, Mike would show him what a 999-level potential Supreme Being was!

Bad Woman continued on her own, “To be honest, that phrase is a bit hard to understand. I still haven’t figured out what it means.”

You didn’t understand? Then Mike could relax!

Mike put on a benevolent smile. “Alright, today I’ll specifically explain this phrase. No problem, right?”

A feminine man emerged from Bad Woman’s shadow.

Shadow Two said in unison, “No problem!”

It had to be said that when they spoke together, it wasn’t actually that jarring.

As long as one treated the female voice as Bad Woman’s and the male voice as Bad Man’s, everything was fine.

“Ahem, this place feels weird for a lecture. Let’s make it quick.”

Mike said seriously, “Don’t be too Thor, this phrase means that you must learn from Thor in your life…”

“Wait a minute.”

Bad Man raised his hand, his voice squeaking. “Is there something wrong?”

Mike looked at Bad Man and retorted, “When Shadow Nine was giving you a lesson, would you interrupt him?”

Bad Man shook his head. “No.”

Mike pressed on, “Why not?”

Bad Man confessed, “Shadow Nine can kill me, you can’t.”

“Very well, you’ve convinced me.”

Mike turned to Shadow Three and asked, “What would it cost to have you kill Shadow Two?”

Shadow Three’s mouth split open, the corners reaching his ears, looking exceptionally gruesome. “Killing him wouldn’t cost a thing!”

Bad Man/Bad Woman: “…”

Bad Woman swiped at Bad Man, cursing,

“You jerk, you’re going to get us killed, boohoo!”

Bad Man refused to be outdone and punched back,

“If you hadn’t encouraged me to speak, would Apollo be trying to kill us?!”

“Silence.”

Mike knocked on the partition, maintaining order in the classroom.

The restroom fell silent.

Putting aside this little interlude, Mike continued his ‘Life Lesson’.

“You don’t understand this phrase because you haven’t learned how to comprehend things properly.”

Mike explained,

“Think about it, if during a fight, Shadow Nine told you, ‘[Don’t hit too hard]’, what would it mean?”

Bad Man raised his hand. “I know!”

“Speak.”

Bad Man said confidently,

“Don’t hit too hard means to kill them gently, to be gentle in the process!”

“Very good understanding!”

Mike continued to explain, “Don’t hit too hard means to go easy on them. Don’t be too Thor means to learn from Thor, but not to be too good at it. Because Thor himself is the perfect template for being a person. It’s fine if you learn 80%, 90%, but if you learn 110%, you’ll exceed the limits of humanity.”

Shadow Two listened with great interest.

Shadow Three listened with a dumbfounded expression.

Seeing that Shadow Two had been successfully fooled, Mike struck while the iron was hot and continued to deceive them.

“Shadow Nine’s words are mainly to tell you two things:

1. Learn how to be a better person from Thor.

2. Imitate, but don’t surpass!

Do you understand?”

Although Mike didn’t think Shadow Two had a chance of surpassing him, it never hurt to be extra cautious.

Bad Man nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.”

Bad Woman, on the other hand, was a little skeptical. “I have a feeling Thor is lying to us.”

Bad Man whispered, “We can’t beat Apollo, let’s just pretend to believe Thor for now.”

“Okay!”

The two of them conspired right in front of Mike and quickly reached an agreement.

Having taught Shadow Two the little trick of being a better person, Mike brought up his request.

“Blaze Morrow, why does that name sound familiar?”

Bad Man frowned,

“The current Shadow Seven seems to be called Terraon Morrow. Could Blaze Morrow be a product of Terraon Morrow’s split personality?”

Bad Woman nodded. “Possible!”

Mike had lost count of how many times he had been rendered speechless.

“Blaze Morrow is Terraon Morrow’s younger brother.”

Mike explained, “Ordinary people don’t have the ability to split their personalities as severely as you two.”

“Thank you for the compliment!”

Having confirmed the request, Shadow Two left the sad place that was the restroom.

Mike also ended his bizarre adventure in the restroom.

“I earned a total of 6 Lord merits, 6 gold, 6 silver, and 6 copper coins.”

Mike calculated his earnings, his mood soaring.

“Awesome!”

He walked out of the restroom and back to the training hall.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Kaelum and the others gathered together excitedly.

With the guidance of Mike’s master, the three of them now felt that their futures were bright.

“Mike, you’re here?!”

Kaelum greeted Mike and asked cautiously, “Mike, your master…”

Mike understood what Kaelum meant and confessed, “My master is usually busy. After my Second Awakening, I switched to another Guardian Shadow.”

Kaelum breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. “Mike, we were just talking about Anderson. That big guy spent 2 million gold coins to buy a piece of information…”

Mike couldn’t hear the rest of what he said.

What?

2 million?!

That was 2 million gold coins!

A full 2 Lord merits!

Mike took a few deep breaths to steady himself.

He quickly noticed that the training ground was bustling with activity.

“What’s going on?”

Mike looked over and saw a crowd gathered in a circle.

In the center of the circle, two people were engaged in a fierce battle.

Mike recognized both of them:

Ace, Cain!

“Why is he picking on Cain?”

Mike quickly realized what Ace was up to.

“He now has the F-tier talent [I Want to Be the First]. To grow, he has to climb his way up one level at a time.”

The growth condition for [I Want to Be the First] was very strict.

Ace had to defeat an opponent giving their all, while under the restriction of a lower level and lower stats, in order to increase the tier of [I Want to Be the First].

And in the entire summer camp, which had been running for more than half a month, there were only two D-tier talents.

One was Mike, the other was Cain.

Ace had already challenged Mike, and he really couldn’t win.

So if Ace wanted his talent to grow, he had no choice but to fight Cain!

Moreover, he had to obey the harsh requirements of his talent growth, which meant fighting with a handicap.

A D-tier talent and an F-tier talent, having a grand old time.

The situation in the arena was incredibly tense. Cain was actually holding his own against Calderon!

Mike watched for two seconds and felt like something was missing.

He immediately realized what it was and started pulling out camera equipment from his inventory, quickly setting it up.

shouldering a professional camera and directing a drone to take aerial shots, Mike rushed into the crowd,

“Make way, make way!”

Mike shouted, “This is Cain’s shining moment, I have to record this for him!”

Mike’s true thoughts:

“This is Ace’s embarrassing past!”

“Record it!”
