The fist is not necessarily a weak form of martial arts, the founder of this skill was the Prince and this was his main attacking skill.

When the referee looked at the Prince from his seat, the bored prince gave the referee a nod with a widening grin on his face.

Hence the battle was set, the referee signaled the commencement of the battle and left the battleground.

'Just as planned…' Thor thought.

Through the simulations, he acquired the attack sequence with the highest probability of winning and with the limited s.p.a.ce of this battlefield, Jaehw.a.n.g would not be able to escape either. In various aspects, Thor had the advantage and this was his plan. Since his opponent was fast and good at stealth, he must use a ma.s.sive blow on the ground as his first attack. Based on his experience, those who have been hit by this attack would react in one of three ways: first, they would just try to stay grounded, second, they would try to jump into the air, and third, for those who know a bit about this attack, would try to escape into the ground.

'It does not matter how he reacts since all of my plans have been set,' Thor thought.

"AAHHHH"

Thor threw his Mjölnir with all of his might with its concentrated maximum energy ready to destroy. This attack would be enough to drive even 6-tier monsters crazy and it goes by the name, Rolling Thunder.

But as the Mjölnir was about to crash into the floor...

'Crack…'

A sound of a breaking bone was spread across the battle stadium.

"Ugh!"

Thor felt a paralyzing shock to his chin, and his neck turning sideways against his will.

'What happened?'

Instinctively, Thor reversed the direction of his Mjölnir to guard his upper body as a last-minute but great defense, but his opponent was tough. Jaehw.a.n.g weaved and comes in close, covered with Thor's attacks but that didn't stop him from smas.h.i.+ng his fist into his jaw, the only place that Thor's armor could not cover.

Pow*Crack*Boom

"AAAAAHHHKKKK" Thor screamed.

He took multiple hits to his chin that destabilized his brain. Even a quick-healing Hunter, if not given the slightest time to recover, cannot heal himself. Thor kept sliding back, but Jaehw.a.n.g's fists did not stop its continuous attack.

Jaehw.a.n.g's attack pattern was purely brutal. Thor wondered if this current opponent of his was the Master Archer he had been studying. In the videos, Thor watched Jaehw.a.n.g with all the care in the world and this streak of savage attacks did not happen even once.

What Thor studied as Jaehw.a.n.g's usual battle techniques that were the fruit of his precise planning, but this man that he's fighting now was...

Thor could not breathe. He had a.s.sumed that in short-range attacks, he would be more superior to an archer. His prejudice was completely shattered.

BOOM!

Thor held on by his sheer willpower from knee attack that came from Jaehw.a.n.g. As expected, Jaehw.a.n.g started to attack his abdomen. Thor could feel the shock, but it was more bearable thanks to the armour.

"AAGGHHH" Thor breathed in heavily. He could not be defeated like this, so almost as a reflex, Thor went for the blunt technique.

This powerful attack, because he trained hundreds and thousands of times a day and night while thinking of beating the Emperor, had almost become a second nature for him to execute.

Jaehw.a.n.g backs up slightly at this attack.

"My turn now!" Thor screamed.

Thor pushed Jaehw.a.n.g out with the heavy armor. He had accepted that he won't be able to give his answer in a flat out fight, so he aimed to deliver a non-stop attack to reverse their situation.

Jaehw.a.n.g was getting farther away, it was like he was giving up on close-quarter combat so Thor clenched his teeth and went after him.

'Hmm! It's going a medium-range random attack while using stealth now,' Thor thought. 'This is what I have been waiting for anyway.'

He clenched his fist with Mjölnir in hand.

Thor has an attack that no one had seen as of yet and it was a secret attack that he had prepared. His arm that held onto the Mjölnir swelled up twice its size.

He was not simply flexing. This hidden skill allowed him to manipulate his own skills, but of course, there was a limit. He could increase 3 to 5 stats instantly and through his rigorous discipline and training, although it is momentary, Thor could increase his stats by 10 now. His default stat was 20, and now, with a whopping 30 stat muscle power, Thor threw his Mjölnir.

BAMM!

The Mjölnir broke through the speed of sound, and a fierce sonic boom ripped the air around it as it went for Jaehw.a.n.g who was retreating.

It was a perfect shot to his loophole.

Thor was confident. This attack could severely injure even an 8-tier monster and a long-range shooter would not be able to bear this attack.

'Bulls-eye!'

While retreating, Jaehw.a.n.g was. .h.i.t right on with the Mjölnir and Thor's best attack turned out to be a success.

But…

"HUH?!?"

The Mjölnir went straight through Jaehw.a.n.g and his form scattered in front of him.

'An afterimage? Thor could not believe his eyes played tricked on him. He could even escape a hail of bullets and he was taken aback by the fact he had lost his opponent from his sight.

And at that moment while he was startled, Jaehw.a.n.g came up under his nose.

BOOOM!

Thor's neck bent back to the point of breaking from Jaehw.a.n.g's uppercut, which hit him faster than he had stepped back.

'Ah..Ah…'

Thor closed his eyes with a sense of his chin breaking. It was over.

'What is this!!!!!' Thor thought. He was not even hit by the opponent's main weapon. If he had a cold weapon in his hand right now, Thor would already be a pile of blood on the floor.

BOOM*PUNCH*BAM

Jaehw.a.n.g only attacked for Thor's head and by then, he realized he was completed defeated. He was so sure that he knew his opponent and he even trusted his best secret attack, but his opponent was way above him. He had challenged someone way out of his league.

"Haaahh…"

Thor, now unrecognizable, rolled on the floor, covering himself with dirt as the others held their breaths. Only the referee's call broke their silence.

"Game, over!"

#2

The quite impactful battle between Thor and Jaehw.a.n.g ended with a commentary by the martial arts master Choi Jin-Ha as having been "nice and energetic".

Based on the horrifying results, the guests from the Phoenix Raid Team and the Blackthorn Raid Team was worried that the Invincible had intentions other than a good fellows.h.i.+p between the teams, but it was brushed off when the Prince a.s.sured that that was an average level of sparring at the Invincible Palace as he poured drinks in Jaehw.a.n.g's cup.

"A fight is a journey towards which one finds his weaknesses. I hope both Jaehw.a.n.g and Thor, through this compet.i.tion, found something they can improve themselves up on. Moreover, if anyone opens their mouth again about the outcome of this battle, the Invincible will go after them!"

Since the Prince himself was the one to settle the results of the battle, everyone at the stadium decided to remember this fight in their memory. No outside reporter could enter this palace anyway, so only the direct witnesses had to be quiet.

Furthermore, Thor himself said nothing in regards to this fight. Instead, he pleaded to the Prince to let the entire members of the Berserker Raid to have a special training at the Invincible Palace. The Prince rejected it initially, stating that he cannot do that to visiting guests, but Thor insisted, saying that the Prince can treat the Berserker Raid Team as he wishes. As soon as he received permission from the Prince, Thor cancelled all the following plans for his group, and he decided on a long-term stay at the Invincible Palace.

Even after such an embarra.s.sing defeat, Thor walked around the Invincible with his raid team, laughing and marvelling at the masters of the place. Watching this Thor, Emperor must have thought, 'that was supposed to be my plan!'

#3

"Thanks in advance for this month!"

Jaehw.a.n.g looked at this blonde man in front of him with distaste. He was just coming back from his morning training when he ran into the Berserker Raid Team. His eyes caught that of Thor, who was at the front and he tried to ignore him. But with Thor not wanting to pa.s.s him, he interrupted Jaehw.a.n.g and bowed his head.

"What?"

"I received permission to train at the Invincible Palace for a month! It's my honor to train with you!" With such loud and thick voice, Thor bowed his head with all of the stocky men behind him following his lead.

"Yeah… sure… good luck with your training."

Jaehw.a.n.g tried to pa.s.s through them. He had his own training room, so he would not be running into them during his own training.

"We ask you to train us!" Thor exclaimed and Jaehw.a.n.g frowned before asking,

"What, are you going to try me yourself?"

Jaehw.a.n.g was provoking Thor as if he was nothing. He was about to whip him again if Thor takes his provocation but Thor understood Jaehw.a.n.g's intentions. His face beamed and he yelled, "Thank you!"
