34 Tzatziki Played Himself (1/2)

The blackout Jam experienced, would happen to all Demon Form users on their first couple times using the ability. After Jam used Demon Form a couple more time, he would be able to leave it without blacking out.

Jam's Demon Form eyes had a connection to the Demon Dao itself. And Jam entering this state for the first time allowed his Demon Dao to finally enter the Dao Infusion Level. He could finally start battling in his Lesser Demon Form while still retaining the his other abilities.

Jam's collapse attracted everyone's attention. But to Jam's squadmates, the most shocking thing event wasn't Jam losing consciousness. Rather, they were staring wide-eyed at Jared.

It should be noted that Jared was the first member of her generation's core disciples. Arnold had been the second. Before she beat Arnold, Jared was already well into the development of her arrogance. Beating Arnold was the catalyst to make her arrogance reach its supreme level. This arrogance led to none of the core disciples, except for Arnold, having heard her voice.

As people started to react to Jam's collapse, Jared started crying and yelling for help hysterically. For the people that knew Jared, seeing him — or as they now came to know now, her — crying in the way she was, set off many alarms.

Everyone who knew Jared almost all collectively though 'Wait Jared's a girl? Jared is crying? Over Jam? What is their relationship? What in the world is going on???'

However, now was not the time to be dwindling their thumbs, Jam looked to be in a pretty bad condition; Jared wasn't better off, but she hadn't reached the point of collapse. The spectators could tell that Jam and Jared had just escaped from a very difficult battle.

Even though Jam didn't look injured, the state of his armor was a telltale sign of how grand his fight must have been. It didn't take a genius to tell that Jam was donning Tier 3 armor.

Given the fact the his hybrid armor was bent and lacerated all over Jam's body, even after so much time passing after his fight finished, told these cultivators that Jam had been fighting with Saint Realm Demonic Beasts at the very least; only they could cause that much permanent damage to Tier 3 Armor.

...

Arnold had already returned from the field, and as he saw Jam in his unconscious state, he rushed near Jam's side. Then, Arnold began using a healing technique with his light energy. Jam regained consciousness after a couple minutes of Arnold's healing.

Usually, it would have taken a much longer period of time for Jam to leave his borderline comatose state. However, he was a Body Refinement Cultivator. Moreover, he had completed the Muscle Realm, and possesed Regeneration.

Jam's regeneration might not be at the level of restoring fatal wounds to the heart, brain, or viscera. However, speeding up the restoration of minor injuries, like the superficial cuts and bruises he currently had sprawled all over his body, would be no problem. Jam's regeneration would also hasten the recovery of his mental exhaustion; albeit at a much slower pace.

Jam woke up, and thanked Arnold for helping him. He then took out a couple Tier 3 healing pills, and consumed them. These pills would make Jam good as new in a couple hours.

There were very few people that could treat Tier 3 pills like candy, in the same the way Jam was going about it. Most of the people near Jam were still in the Mortal Realm. Those who had advanced to the Spirit Realm, like Jam and Jared, wouldn't be able to advance their alchemy skills as fast as Jam.

The supervisors of the competition that were near Jam, could tell that even though Jam looked to be in a serious condition, Jam was, medically speaking, very stable, and not prone to death. As long as Jam wouldn't die, or become a cripple, they wouldn't help him out.

Everyone in Jam's squad had already made it to the registration point. After they saw that Jam was ok, they made their way over to him.

Kirin: ”Jam! Mate! Are you alright?”

”Yeah. I'm good.”

Alex: ”You look pretty beat up...”

”Yeah. That'll happen to ya, after fighting hundreds of False Saints, five Saint Masters, and three Saint Grandmasters.”

Kirin: ”Holy shit! Are you serious.”

”Dead serious. I wouldn't be in such bad shape if I didn't have to run from the three Saint Grandmasters.”

Everyone within earshot: ”WHAT?!”

Most people thought Jam misspoke the first time Jam mentioned his fight with the Saint Grandmaster Demonic Beasts. However, upon hearing Jam confirm that there were three Saint Grandmasters for a second time, everyone listening to Jam was either, doubtful, shocked, confused, or scared.

Some were doubtful of Jam's story. Most wouldn't believe that someone taking part in this competition, had the strength to fight hundreds of Saint Realm Demonic Beasts, or even escape from three Saint Grandmasters. Even if Jam did make a breakthrough, he would at most be at the Soul Condensing Stage; an entire five stages below Saint Grandmasters.
