I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2329 Afraid of Thunder?
Before Liu Jun and Cat Brother could even celebrate for a moment, a slight cough sounded, and then Thor woke up, struggling to get up, his wounds healing rapidly.

Liu Jun's lips twitched, and he muttered to himself: "What the hell am I supposed to do? I just unleashed my full power, and my opponent only suffered minor injuries. This enemy's strength has truly exceeded my expectations."

When it comes to fighting spirit and determination, Cat Brother is the real champion. Just as Thor staggered to his feet, Cat Brother charged forward like a black lightning bolt, his sharp claws slicing through the air with a series of cold flashes.

"Hey, Thor, long time no see." At this moment, the Golden Spirit Embryo reappeared on Liu Jun's shoulder without anyone noticing, crossing his legs and looking quite relaxed.

Liu Jun stopped abruptly, his face full of surprise, and asked, "You know him?"

Jinling Shengtai nodded, a hint of disdain in his tone: "I know him, I've dealt with him before. This guy was beaten up by Wu Rendi before, he was in a really bad state back then."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun's eyes widened in disbelief. He knew Wu Rendi was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful. Thor was no ordinary person; for him to suffer a loss against him demonstrated the unfathomable depth of Wu Rendi's strength.

However, upon further reflection, Liu Jun felt that this wasn't outrageous. After all, Wu Rendi was their key figure, whose true form was the renowned Gouchen Emperor, the ancient God of War of the Heavenly Court. Beating up an ancient Western God of War didn't seem like a difficult task for him.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated. The key question was, what should he do now? He certainly didn't have Wu Rendi's methods and strength.

"Does this guy have no weaknesses?" Liu Jun couldn't help but ask, looking at Thor, whose ferocity rivaled that of a Saiyan.

“Of course it does. This guy is afraid of thunder.” Jinling Shengtai suddenly said in an almost teasing tone.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Liu Jun's face was instantly filled with astonishment, as if he had heard some unbelievable tale.

His eyes were wide open, as if he was trying to process the information.

Let alone Thor, an ancient Western god of war, even an ordinary Western deity wouldn't be afraid of thunder.

"Didn't you hear? This Thor is afraid of thunder." The Golden Spirit Embryo repeated this unbelievable fact once again, its golden pupils gleaming with amusement.

"Are you kidding me? A Western ancient war god is afraid of thunder?" Liu Jun looked incredulous, his lips twitching slightly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"If you're not afraid of your friend getting beaten to death, I can tell you the details." The golden little finger of the Golden Spirit Embryo pointed at Cat Brother in the distance, its tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

At this point, Cat Bro, though still fierce, was basically just taking the beatings. On average, he could only manage one or two hits out of ten, looking utterly pathetic. Even though the divine body he was using didn't feel pain, being beaten like this was enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

Seeing that Cat Brother was almost beaten to the ground, Liu Jun knew he couldn't afford to argue with the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo any longer. In a moment of panic, he immediately threw out several Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans from his sleeve.

These talismans traced dazzling trajectories in the air, accompanied by deafening roars and blinding flashes of lightning, as they hurtled towards the battlefield.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman exploded in the air, and thick bolts of lightning surged out like dragons, instantly enveloping the battlefield in a sea of ​​lightning.

Liu Jun clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, silently praying that Thor would be as Jinling Shengtai had said, afraid of thunder.

Meanwhile, the Golden Spirit Embryo watched all this quietly from the side, its golden eyes flashing with complex light, as if it were pondering something.

As the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman gradually dissipated between heaven and earth, the situation on the battlefield truly underwent a dramatic change.

The deafening thunder gradually subsided, leaving only streaks of residual lightning flashing in the air.

Whether Thor truly had an innate fear of lightning or not, his current state was clearly off. His movements became sluggish, and his eyes flickered with unprecedented hesitation and unease.

Although Thor held his own against Catman thanks to his immense strength, the speed of his attacks noticeably decreased. Each punch and kick seemed tinged with hesitation, no longer as unstoppable as before.

Moreover, there was a hint of barely concealed fear in Thor's eyes as he looked at Liu Jun.

Of course, this fear didn't stem from Liu Jun himself; after all, even when Liu Jun and Cat Brother joined forces, they were no match for Thor. But at this moment, Thor seemed to be filled with deep apprehension about the Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans in Liu Jun's hands.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jun was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that these Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans, which were almost gathering dust in his hands, would come in so handy at this crucial moment.

Without hesitation, the guy pulled out several more Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans. These talismans were surrounded by dazzling lightning, as if they contained the power of heaven and earth.

As expected, when Thor saw Liu Jun take out these Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans again, his face turned pale instantly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

In the ensuing battle, Thor was forced to retreat repeatedly by Catman, his previous bravery and arrogance completely gone.

"Wow, it works!" Liu Jun was overjoyed when he saw it.

He never expected that these Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans, which were originally considered useless, would become the key to turning the tide of the battle.

On the battlefield at this moment, the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman seemed to have become the balance that determined the outcome, giving Liu Jun and his team, who were originally at a disadvantage, a considerable chance of winning.

Thor, the ancient Western war god, was now cowering and retreating under the threat of lightning. "Huh? Right, I think I still have a tribulation to undergo." Liu Jun suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering this crucial matter.

He had already reached the peak of the God-King Realm, possessing unparalleled strength, yet the tribulation lightning had not descended. This was because he had cleverly used a magical artifact to temporarily shield his aura.

Originally, he planned to undergo his tribulation in peace after leaving the perilous Valley of the Gods, but now, facing Thor in front of him, a bold idea arose in his mind.

Thor, this opponent, clearly harbors an unspeakable fear of lightning. So why not seize this opportunity to deliver a powerful dose of its power?

A playful smile appeared on Liu Jun's lips as he thought to himself, "This lightning tribulation, though powerful, what can it do to me? Why would I, Liu Jun, fear such a trivial lightning tribulation?"

Thinking of this, he chuckled and muttered to himself, "Here it comes, here's a big dish for you!" With that, he reached out and took off the magical artifact that shielded his aura.

In an instant, a powerful aura surged from Liu Jun's body, unstoppable like a volcanic eruption. This change in aura quickly resonated with the heavens and earth. The once clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds, the thick clouds seeming to threaten to crush the world.

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, making the surrounding space heavy and oppressive.

Liu Jun looked up at the sky and saw lightning flashing and thunder roaring in the dark clouds, with lightning dragons swimming and shuttling among them, occasionally emitting deafening roars.

These thunder dragons possessed destructive power, as if they could break free from the shackles of the dark clouds and descend upon this land at any moment.

Before long, the entire world seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and the light became dim and blurry. Only the thunder dragons that kept wandering in the thunderclouds occasionally emitted dazzling flashes of light, tearing through this dark world.

"Boom!" A loud noise ripped through the sky, and the first bolt of lightning finally couldn't resist bursting out of the thunderclouds, heading straight for Liu Jun.

Liu Jun remained motionless, only slightly narrowing his eyes to sense the immense power contained within the lightning. He knew this was merely the beginning; the tribulation to come would be even more intense and dangerous.

But he showed no fear, simply taking a deep breath and preparing to face the tribulation feast that was his to enjoy.

And his bold plan, under the baptism of this tribulation, is about to shine brightly.

"Damn it, are you out of your mind? Your body is made of metal!" The Golden Spirit Holy Embryo darted ten feet away in one stride, its tender little face full of disdain, cursing as it ran, "I went through so much trouble to reshape your body, and you just ruin it like this?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun froze on the spot, belatedly looking down at his metallic-looking arm.

His memories came flooding back—the battle at the pseudo-base No. 1, the Iron Fortress, a few months earlier, when his body was almost riddled with holes.

That day, the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo spared no effort in expending its own power to melt and cast the entire steel fortress into this metallic body that can be called a work of art.

This body is indeed ridiculously strong. Even if it is injured, it can quickly repair itself and has extremely strong defense.

But at this moment, Liu Jun finally remembered the warning from the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo: "I need to be more careful when I undergo tribulation in the future. This thing has a higher conductivity than the original physical body, about two hundred times?"

“Boom—”

The first lightning dragon had already torn through the clouds and swooped down, the thick, purple-gold lightning bolt rapidly magnifying in Liu Jun's pupils.

He instinctively wanted to run, but it was too late. This body's affinity for lightning was ridiculously strong, and his fingertips were already spontaneously attracting stray electric arcs.

"Sizzle—!!!"

The area within a five-mile radius instantly transformed into a pool of lightning. A bolt of electricity as thick as a bowl wove a spiderweb of death across the ground, and the surrounding boulders instantly carbonized to ash upon contact with the electric current.

Meanwhile, Thor, a burly man over two meters tall, was curled up in a ball. This mighty ancient Western war god was now so frightened that he looked like an alpaca, his muscles twitching uncontrollably.

A few kilometers away in a safe zone, Cat Brother watched Liu Jun with some worry. But despite his concern, he dared not participate in this level of lightning tribulation, lest he be struck down and reduced to ashes as well.

"Sigh, Liu Jun is such a pig-brain," Jin Ling Sheng Tai sighed.

Meanwhile, the AI-powered system, its body flashing blue light, was frantically calculating thunderstorm data: "According to the energy readings, Liu Jun is currently experiencing the equivalent of an instantaneous discharge from five nuclear power plants. Tsk tsk, this unlucky kid."

"Huh?" The Golden Spirit Embryo seemed to remember something and suddenly pulled out a token that was neither gold nor jade from its bosom. "I almost forgot about this!"

He stretched out his finger, drawing intricate Dao patterns on the token with his fingertip, and shouted, "Mysterious Heaven Without Limits, All Laws Return to Their Origin!"

The token shattered, transforming into nine golden rays that plunged into the heart of the thunderstorm. The previously raging lightning suddenly paused, as if being guided by an invisible hand, and began to flow along some mysterious trajectory. The electric light on Liu Jun's metallic body gradually condensed into a cocoon, undergoing some kind of transformation.

"You're lucky, kid." Golden Spirit Saint Embryo wiped away a cold sweat. "This was a lightning-avoiding token I swindled from a powerful figure back in the day."

Before the words were finished, the second bolt of heavenly lightning, which had been brewing for a long time, struck down. This time, it transformed into a five-clawed thunder dragon with distinct scales and armor, its eyes pulsating with the pressure of the heavenly Dao.
