Chapter 377: I Won?

Southern Land, Xuanyi Mountain

A cool breeze blew past, stirring the grass and leaves that looked exceptionally bleak.

Zhang Jichen stood outside the courtyard with a grave expression and said coldly, “I know you’re inside. Come out.”

After a brief silence, a two-meter-tall, bloated “frog” walked out. Its tongue hung long in front of its body as it looked straight at Zhang Jichen and said, “Who are you?”

Zhang Jichen: “???”

What was going on? Did Tam actually forget who he was?

This was simply humiliation!

How could Zhang Jichen tolerate this? He immediately said coldly, “I want to challenge you!”

“You want to challenge me?”

Tam froze. “Why?”

It had indeed forgotten who Zhang Jichen was.

“I want revenge!”

Zhang Jichen gritted his teeth and said, “Cut the crap. Take this!”

Before he could finish his sentence, powerful spirit energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from Zhang Jichen’s body. Then, he turned into numerous afterimages and rushed towards Tam. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to capture with the naked eye.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Jichen should have undoubtedly won after continuously breaking through from the early-phase to the late-phase of the Heaven Stage in half a year.

However, what he did not know was that Tam had only become like this after eating a medicinal pill refined with the soul of a Saint Stage expert.

In other words, Tam was considered half a Saint Stage expert. After all, Zhang Jichen was not the only one who had broken through continuously in half a year.

Almost at the moment Zhang Jichen rushed over, Tam moved. Its soft tongue stretched out and swept towards Zhang Jichen with a shrill sound!

Zhang Jichen was already prepared for this. His figure instantly twisted, dodged the tongue, and pounced!

Just as Zhang Jichen’s fist was about to land on Tam, four sticky green fingers suddenly stretched over and grabbed Zhang Jichen’s fist.

Bang!

The Xuanyi Mountain Sect shook, and the ground cracked inch by inch. With Zhang Jichen and Tam at the center, it continued to spread out, raising layers of energy ripples.

The commotion here immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Qin Jue arrived first, followed by Mu Ziqi, Bai Ye, and the First Elder, who had just recovered from his injuries.

“Zhang Jichen? He’s back?”

The First Elder was surprised.

“Ziqi, he’s the eldest disciple I told you about, Zhang Jichen. I didn’t expect him to step into the late-phase of the Heaven Stage in half a year. Tsk tsk.”

Bai Ye praised.

It had to be said that sometimes, if one didn’t force oneself, one wouldn’t even know how powerful one was. If it weren’t for Tam, Zhang Jichen might still have been stuck at the Earth Stage.

In other words, Tam had changed Zhang Jichen.

“…”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the man and the frog fought again. After half a year of training, Zhang Jichen had indeed been reborn. He had extremely rich combat experience and could easily dodge Tam’s tongue.

Even though Tam was now at the peak of the Heaven Stage, it was still unable to do anything to Zhang Jichen for a moment.

On the other hand, Zhang Jichen could always attack Tam continuously. He seemed to be very natural and did not give Tam any chances.

“Hmph, I won’t lose to you again!”

Zhang Jichen tapped the air with the tip of his foot and his figure rose steadily. His palm fell from the sky!

Boom!

Rocks flew everywhere, raising countless clouds of dust. Zhang Jichen gracefully landed on the ground, his hands behind his back, and smiled. “You lost…”

Swoosh!

Without waiting for Zhang Jichen to be smug, a rope-like tongue suddenly stretched out from the dust and smoke and instantly wrapped around his limbs. It was Tam’s tongue!

“How is that possible?”

Without any time to think, Zhang Jichen’s body immediately ignited with scorching flames as he tried to force back Tam’s tongue. Unfortunately, Tam’s tongue also lit up with spirit energy and was not affected at all.

In the next moment, Tam flew out of the smoke and dust and hit Zhang Jichen like a cannonball!

Bang!

Zhang Jichen’s eyes suddenly widened as blood sprayed from his mouth and nose. He was sent flying and did not stop until he hit a distant mountain peak!

He never expected that Tam would be fine after being hit by his frontal attack!

“Pu!”

Zhang Jichen’s face was as pale as paper, and his aura plummeted.

He had attacked Tam so many times, but it was useless. Tam had only hit him once, but it had almost severely injured him.

Zhang Jichen couldn’t help but feel baffled.

Sensing the intense pain from his limbs and bones, Zhang Jichen slowly stood up, his heart complicated. Was he going to lose again?

After half a year of bitter cultivation and hard work, he was still going to lose to this ugly frog.

No! He absolutely could not lose!

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jichen forcefully circulated his spirit energy and used a secret technique to seal his five senses, stabilize his injuries, and enter a subtle state.

In the distance, Qin Jue frowned. Zhang Jichen was clearly planning to risk his life.

Most importantly, if this continued, it would very likely affect Zhang Jichen’s foundation.

“Do you want to continue?”

Tam retracted its tongue, not understanding why Zhang Jichen was so persistent.

“Of course!”

Zhang Jichen shouted and pounced at Tam with a sinister expression.

With the lesson just now, Zhang Jichen became even more cautious. After all, if he hadn’t been careless, he wouldn’t have been hit so easily.

Even so, the battle was still in a stalemate. Tam was indeed unable to capture Zhang Jichen, but Zhang Jichen could not hurt Tam.

As time passed, Zhang Jichen would definitely be the first to lose.

Seeing this, Qin Jue sighed and transmitted his voice to Tam’s spirit energy, “Let him win.”

It was no exaggeration to say that Tam had already become Zhang Jichen’s inner demon. If he could not defeat Tam this time, it would definitely be a very painful blow to Zhang Jichen, and he might even become dispirited.

At that time, even if Qin Jue handed the True God Stage inheritance to him, its effect would probably be greatly reduced. To be safe, Qin Jue could only choose to secretly intervene.

“Huh?”

Tam was stunned and was about to respond when it felt its vision go black as it instantly lost his direction!

“A good opportunity!”

Sensing Tam’s abnormality, Zhang Jichen condensed his spirit energy and punched out!

Bang!

Zhang Jichen had no intention of stopping. He punched more than ten times, afraid that Tam would be fine like before.

Rumble!

A shocking energy storm swept out and soared into the sky. After a long while, a deep pit dozens of meters in diameter appeared in front of everyone. It was a horrifying sight.

In the deep pit lay Tam, who had already lost consciousness. Its tongue was long and stuck out, making it look rather miserable.

In fact, Tam wasn’t injured. It had only been knocked unconscious by Qin Jue’s methods. As for Zhang Jichen’s attack, it was resolved by Qin Jue.

He couldn’t just let Tam lose and get beaten up, right?

However, Zhang Jichen did not know this. He was panting heavily with a pleasantly surprised expression. “I… I won?”

“That’s right. You won.”

Qin Jue took a step forward and asserted.

“Hahaha, I won!”

Hearing this, Zhang Jichen threw his head back and laughed uproariously, as if he wanted to laugh out all the hardships and the humiliation he had suffered in the past half a year!

“I… won.”

Zhang Jichen fell to the ground with a plop and fainted.

One had to know that Zhang Jichen had been using a secret technique to hang on. Now that he had won, the anger in his heart had been relieved, and he naturally could not hold on any longer.

“Are they alright?”

Bai Ye was slightly worried.

“I’m fine.”

Qin Jue shook his head and added, “Tam is fine. Zhang Jichen will be fine after lying down for two days.”

The reason why he didn’t directly heal Zhang Jichen was because Qin Jue knew very well that Zhang Jichen had to bear the consequences himself.
