Chapter 77 - Tournament - Round of 32 - Day 2 - Night (1/2)
”I won.”
As Mesa said these words, everyone was quit and watching him with horror in their eyes. It wasn't until Ling Kun himself stood up and addressed Mesa himself. It was evident, that even he, was freaked out at Mesa's latest spectacle: ”Junior Mesa! What is that hammer?! And how did you control the weather like that?!”
”It's very simple, Senior Ling. This hammer is called Mjolnir. And this hammer used to be the hammer of the God of Thunder, Thor, himself.” Said Mesa. This revelation shocked everyone, including Ling Kun himself. Ever since Mesa had summoned that hammer, he left it lying everywhere, yet nobody was able to pick it up. Everyone thought it was a very heavy hammer with some weird mechanic that allows Mesa to summon it to his hand and that was why nobody could lift it up. But now, hearing that this hammer used to be from the God of Thunder, Thor, himself, everyone was shocked.
”If that hammer is the hammer of the God of Thunder, how did you manage to find it?!” Asked Ling Kun, clearly still in distress at Mesa's revelation.
”This hammer was granted to me by my master. As everyone must have noticed by now, I leave this hammer lying everywhere, not bothering to pick it up. The reason for that is, because Thor himself has placed an enchantment on this hammer. Making sure that only those who Mjolnir has deemed worthy, are capable of wielding it and Thor's power. Everyone who is unworthy is incapable of lifting up Mjolnir, no matter how strong they may be. In fact....” Said Mesa as he walked down the arena and placed Mjolnir on a table.
”I will hereby make a solemn vow: 'Everyone is allowed to test their worthiness to Mjolnir. All they have to do, is place their hand on its handle and lift it up. If anyone is worthy, they take Mjolnir for themselves.' If you can't lift up Mjolnir, don't bother putting in more strength. Mjolnir is capable of making itself heavier and heavier, to ensure that those who are unworthy, won't be wielding its power. And during the rest of this tournament, I will not be using Mjolnir anymore. Now, if you'll excuse me. I am going back to my room. I need to take a bath and get out of these bloodstained clothes that have been shredded.” Said Mesa as he calmly walked to his room.
As he was walking back to his room, he heard Jasmine's voice in his head: ”Hey! Are you sure that was a good idea?! What if someone is worthy of it?! Then you'll lose Mjolnir!”
”Ohh Jasmine, it's simple really. When I purchased Mjolnir, I made sure to add a feature that ensures that nobody, but me, is worthy of it. So, there is simply no one in this universe that can ever lift up Mjolnir. Ever! The only who could do be worthy of Mjolnir, is if somehow, Thor came to this universe and took back his hammer.” Said Mesa as he calmly walked back to his room.
Back at the arena, after the monster had left and offered everyone a chance to have a weapon from the God of Thunder. Everyone was clamoring to be first, to take Mjolnir for themselves. Yet, nobody who tried was able to lift it up. People used every ounce of strength they had, but always failed.
Ling Kun, who had been silently watching Mesa walk back to his room, was all but silent in his heart. He was trying his best to make sense of Mesa, yet always came up short.
'Mesa Uchiha, what are you? Where did this hammer come from? And why are you not dead? I need to tell this to the Sword Master once I get back to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.' Thought Ling Kun to himself about Mesa.
Mu Tianbei, ignoring everything around him, walked to his son's body lying outside the arena. Picking up his body, he walks back to his courtyard and silently swears an oath: 'Mesa Uchiha, I will kill you. Even if it takes everything I have, I will kill you!'
After the chaos of Mesa's match had died down, the tournament continued on. The rest of the matches of the Round of 16 went on without a hitch. After everyone had competed, the roster for tomorrow's matches had been decided.
First: Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Jie vs Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Feiyu.

Third match: Frozen Cloud Asgard's Xia Qingyue vs Xiao Sect's Xiao Kuanglei.

After everyone had gone back to their rooms. Chu Yueli went to Chu Yuechan's room. After what she saw today, she was absolutely convinced that there was some connection between her and Mesa Uchiha. And so, she decided to confront her sister about it.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
”Elder Sister, I know you're in there. Please, open up the door. I need to talk to you.” Said Chu Yueli as she knocked on Chu Yuechan's door. Less than a minute later, Chu Yuechan opened the door for her and she stepped in and closed the door, making sure that no one could hear them.
”So, what did you want to talk about?” Asked Chu Yuechan.
”Let me get straight to the point. What is the connection between you and Mesa Uchiha?” Said Chu Yueli, stunning Chu Yuechan, who didn't know how to respond for a minute before she got herself together.
”What makes you think there is something between us. We don't know each other.” Said Chu Yuechan in an emotionless voice she forcing.
”Elder Sister, do not try to fool me. I know there is something between the two of you. During the match today between Mesa Uchiha and Mu Xiongyan, you were getting anxious and your energy started getting chaotic. Even though you were trying to contain it, I noticed. And after that Mu Xiongyan threw that spear through Mesa Uchiha's chest, you went crazy and you were just about to rush over to him and kill him. Don't try to deny this sister, I know you better than anyone else and I have seen this for myself! What does Mesa Uchiha have over you!” Said Chu Yueli, clearly worried about her sister.
