He was just one step away from reaching the Heaven Stairway.

However, Chen Feng did not take that step for a long time.

He simply extended his palm and placed it against the wall of resistance on the final step.

"Kid, I can't go in, but you can?" Zhang Chenfei walked back up and said with a fake smile, "The situation with this Heaven Stairway can be seen by people outside. I believe everyone saw that I was the first one to reach the top. Therefore, the champion of the Azure Province competition will be me! "

Outside the Heaven Stairway, countless eyes were fixated on Chen Feng's actions.

"What the hell is Chen Feng doing?"

Elder Yang Gang's eyes were solemn as he looked at the huge mirror on the arena and muttered to himself.

Beside him, Wen Chen and the others remained silent. However, their eyes were filled with anticipation.

Zhang Chenfei had already failed once. This meant that he had no chance of breaking through the last step. Then, as long as Chen Feng advanced one more step, he would be able to become the final champion of this year's Cangzhou Grand Competition without any suspense.

But this step, did he take it step by step?

The only one who looked relaxed was Xiao Yi. He looked at Chen Feng's figure with a faint smile. There was not a single trace of worry in his eyes.

Floating on the red carpet, the group of giants could no longer hold themselves back and started discussing.

"Hahaha, Zhang He, congratulations. It seems that your son will be the champion of this year's Cangzhou Grand Competition." A heavyweight clasped his hands at Zhang He.

"Haha, Sect Head Li is joking. The competition is not over yet. It is still too early to say who will be the champion." Zhang He cupped his fists and said with a smile. However, there was an expression of joy on his face, as if this was the champion and only Zhang Chenfei could be seen.

"Hmph, at least you know your own limitations." Just as Zhang He and Sect Head Li were joking, a disdainful voice was suddenly heard.

This person was Feng Cheng, the head of the Feng Family. He had always been at loggerheads with Zhang He.

"Feng Cheng, what's the meaning of this!" Zhang He was furious and shouted loudly.

Although the results were not known yet, judging from his current performance, Zhang Chenfei was indeed the first one to reach the end of the Heaven Stairway. Therefore, in his heart, his son Zhang Chenfei was the champion of this competition.

On the other side of Zhang He's question, Feng Cheng also sneered, "What? I was wrong. Before the Mayor announced the result, your son wasn't even the champion!"

"Patriarch Feng, that's not right." This was Sect Head Li speaking. He smiled with a kind look on his face, "As everyone has seen, he was indeed the first to reach the last step of the Heaven Stairway. From my point of view, this champion is obviously Zhang Chenfei."

"Are you so sure that no one will be able to pass through the final step?" Feng Cheng sneered.

The moment his voice fell, the surrounding crowd of people voiced out their agreement.

Obviously, the surrounding big heads all knew the power of that Heaven Stairway.

With a cold expression, Fenggong fell silent.

Obviously, he did not expect that the last step of the Heaven Stairway would be so powerful. As long as no one else was able to take the final step, then Zhang Chenfei would be the champion of the Cangzhou Grand Competition.

Just as the atmosphere turned awkward, a clear voice broke the crowd's thoughts.

"Since we all disagree, how about we start a bet?"

When everyone heard this, their bodies trembled.

"Nangong Tianhua, you are truly a businessman. You truly know how to grasp opportunities." Zhang He smiled and said, "Opening a gambling house is good as well, but I'm afraid that some people will not dare to come."

After saying that, Zhang He's eyes glanced at Fushong, who was standing to the side. Needless to say, he understood the look in his eyes.

"Haha, it's rare for the Zhang Family Head to be so interested. Patriarch Feng, why don't you accompany the Zhang Family Head and play around?" A busybody at the side couldn't help but try to persuade her.

Immediately, a few other heavyweights began to jeer at his advice. They were afraid that the gambling house would not be able to make a ruckus.

Fengcong's face was livid.

Who would have thought that in order to stop Zhang He, he would be put in a difficult position.

Indeed, he did not wish for Zhang Chenfei to become the champion of the Azure Continent's Tournament. However, with the current situation, if he were to take the gamble, he would have no chance of winning.

However, looking at the attitude of the experts around them, Fenggong knew that the bet had been set.

Then, what kind of gamble would he need to take out in order for him to not feel pained about it and not allow others to not gossip?

For a moment, he was in an extremely difficult position.

"Haha, since all of you are so interested, then this old man will come and join in on the fun."

Just as Fenggong was hesitating, a laugh rang out. The Pill King, Fu Yuan, walked up to them and said without any arrogance.

"Senior Pill King!" All the heavyweights saluted in unison with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

The normally unassuming Pill King was actually interested in a small bet between them.

Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Fu Yuan grinned and said, "What? Do you not welcome an old man like me? "

"No, no!" Nangong Tianhua immediately smiled and said, "Senior Pill King, we won't even be able to be happy if we were to participate. How could we not welcome you?"

After Nangong Tianhua said those words, he changed the topic and looked to Zhang He and Fenggong with a somewhat awkward expression. He said in a low voice, "I wonder what the opinions of Brother Zhang He and Clan Head Feng are?"

Without waiting for Nangong Tianhua to finish speaking, Zhang He smiled and said, "Naturally, I welcome Senior Pill King very much."

Fu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Then what about you, Master Feng?" Nangong Tianhua asked Fenggong, who hesitated for a moment.

Since even the Pill King was involved, it seemed like he would have to pay a huge price today.

At this moment, Fengcong wished he could slap himself a few times. He was the one who asked for this.

"Haha, Patriarch Feng should agree because my thoughts today are the same as Patriarch Feng." Just when it was filled with pain, Fu Yuan spoke again.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and filled with disbelief. There was only fertile land. The depressed expression that had been on everyone's face had been replaced with a look of excitement.

"I think so too. Zhang Chenfei won't be the champion of this year's Cangzhou Tournament!" Fu Yuan said solemnly, as if emphasizing the point.

"Since Senior Pill King wishes to participate, I naturally very much welcome you!" This time, it was Feng Cheng's turn to laugh. He looked at Zhang He, whose face was stiff, with a provocative look in his eyes.

Seeing the expression in Feng Cheng's eyes, Zhang He couldn't help clenching his fists.

However, he was still a scheming person. In just a moment, he calmed the anger in his heart and turned into a smiling face. "Okay, then let's talk about our wager!"
