"Welcome to the Azure Continent's competition. Today's competition will reveal the final ranking. Let's wait and see."

On the stage, the referee and host loudly proclaimed the countless number of cultivators below.

"Next, I invite the City Lord!"

Following the referee's words, Yu Qingshan floated down from the red carpet and landed firmly on the arena.

"Everyone, today's competition is different from the previous years. The location of the competition will be in the spatial space where the Secret Sword Grimoire is stored! " As he spoke, Yu Qingshan casually waved his hand, and a door of light appeared on the arena.

Through this door of light, you will be able to enter the location where the Secret Sword Grimoire is stored. I call that place the Sky Stairway. Yu Qingshan said solemnly.

"So, are you ready?"

Below the stage, the thirteen contestants all nodded, their eyes full of determination and longing.

"Initiate!" Yu Qingshan waved his hand and the door of light immediately lit up. In the middle of the door of light, a strange spatial fluctuation constantly appeared. It was very magical.

Whoosh.

As soon as his voice fell, thirteen figures rose up from the ground and shot towards the door of light like bolts of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, all 13 figures had entered the light door and vanished.

Seeing this, Yu Qingshan waved his hand again, and a huge mirror suddenly appeared beside the door of light. On the mirror, a clear picture appeared.

These images were the images of the thirteen contestants from before.

This was a huge palace, and steps continued to climb upwards. One could vaguely see a green light shining at the end of the stairs.

"Is that the Secret Sword of the Grimoire?" Everyone's heart skipped a beat as a strong desire flashed in their eyes.

Chen Feng pulled Meng Qiu Ling's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Let's not move first. There seems to be something deceptive about this step."

Meng Qiu Ling looked at the stairs doubtfully and finally nodded.

"Quick, the Secret Sword's Grimoire is right there, only the top ten can obtain it!"

It was unknown who shouted, but eight human figures shot out with a "whoosh", wanting to rush over the stairs and obtain the glowing blue "Secret Sword Grimoire".

Of course, outside of Chen Feng and Meng Qiu Ling, the other three people were also extremely calm. They looked at the eight people rushing over mockingly, their eyes revealing a hint of playfulness. Amongst these three people, one of them was Zhang Chenfei.

"This bunch of idiots, if it's so easy to climb the Heaven Stairway, then why would it be our competition arena?" A cultivator disdainfully mentioned that this person was the young master of the Feng Family, who was one of the three great families.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A series of loud noises suddenly rang out. Everyone raised their heads and saw that out of the eight cultivators just now, four or five of them had only taken a few steps forward.

There were still a few people who were rushing upwards, but not long later, they also bounced back and landed at the starting point.

"This staircase is too strange!" The eight cursed as they continued to move forward.

However, not long after, these people were bounced back.

At this moment, Zhang Chenfei looked at Chen Feng with a provocative gaze and said with an unfriendly tone, "Chen Feng, do you dare to compete with me?"

"Why would I not dare?" Chen Feng laughed. His momentum was not weak at all.

"Alright, I will wait for you on the Heaven Stairway!"

Zhang Chenfei smiled cruelly, and headed towards the Heaven Stairway.

Chen Feng was just about to take a step forward when he felt a soft and smooth grip on his big hand.

"Chen Feng..." Meng Qiu Ling said.

"Eh?" Chen Feng turned his head back.

"Be careful!" Meng Qiu Ling's cheeks were pink as she reminded him in a low voice.

Chen Feng smiled. Within his smile, he was very happy. "Don't worry. Be careful yourself."

Finished speaking, he quickly chased after Zhang Chenfei. In the blink of an eye, he and Zhang Chenfei stood side by side.

"Begin!"

As if they had a tacit understanding of each other, the two of them shouted at the same time.

Subsequently, the two of them quickly rushed towards the Heaven Stairway.

"Ta —"

Both of their right feet stepped onto the first step of the Heaven Stairway?

"Hmm?"

The two of them furrowed their brows at the same time, because the moment their right feet stepped onto the Heaven Stairway, a huge resistance suddenly appeared on their bodies.

This resistance did not have any killing power, it was purely a blocking power, acting in front of the two of them, seemingly to push them out of the Heaven Stairway.

Soon, the two of them reached the peak of the previous group of people.

However, that was not their main focus. The resistance here still did not give them any pressure. Chen Feng and Zhang Chenfei turned into two blurry shadows as they rushed upwards at the same time.

Below the Heaven Stairway, the warriors who had not moved yet could no longer hold themselves back.

They all took a step towards the Heaven Stairway.

After entering the Heaven Stairway, they understood that the last round's rules should be to see who could go farther on the Heaven Stairway.

"As long as I can get in the top 10, I'll be able to come in contact with the 'Secret Sword Grimoire'. I'll give it my all!"

Almost everyone held this belief and didn't want to be the last three to be eliminated.

Outside of the Heaven Stairway, many cultivators looked at the huge mirror with admiration. Inside the mirror, the actions of the thirteen participants were reflected clearly.

Among them, the ones who had the most attention focused on were the two contestants, Chen Feng and Zhang Chenfei.

On the red carpet, Zhang He tightly knitted his brows. The scene of him staring at Chen Feng faintly revealed a murderous intent.

The killing intent was faint, but it was still detected by the giant beside him.

"Haha, Zhang He, it seems that your son has met his match."

This person was the Feng Family's Patriarch, Feng Cheng. He and Zhang He were at loggerheads, so whenever the opportunity presented itself, he would make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Humph? Is that kid from the mountains worthy to fight with my son? It is simply asking to be humiliated! "

Zhang He said with a cold expression.

"Oh, that's what I said. Why are you so excited? "Could it be that you are truly afraid?"

"Humph!" Zhang He no longer paid any attention to him. However, the killing intent in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger.

"This is Chen Feng?"

In a remote corner below the arena, a young man was proudly looking at Chen Feng's reflection in the giant mirror as he asked a person behind him.

"Young master, this person is Chen Feng!" The frightful voice from behind said respectfully.
