Chapter 124 Stepping Stone

  "What's the bet?" Su Rou asked with a smile.

  "That Chen is absolutely no match for Ding Chou, her defeat is only a matter of time."

  "So next, Chu Feng will naturally fight against Ding Jie, and I bet that Chu Feng will lose to Ding Jie. If I win, then your marriage will be decided by me." Su Hen said.

  "Dad, why are you bringing up my marriage again? I've already said that I'll take charge of my own marriage." Upon hearing this, Su Rou's expression became very unwilling.

  "It doesn't matter then." Su Hen smiled indifferently.

  "What are you afraid of? Let's bet on it. If I win, the marriage between Xiaomei and Shangguan Yu will be cancelled. What do you think?" Su Rou said seriously.

  At this moment, Su Hen furrowed his brow, looking rather embarrassed.

  "What's wrong, you don't dare anymore?" Su Rou's eyes narrowed into two crescent moons as she smiled at her father, seemingly delighted by his being stumped.

  "Joke, what am I afraid of? Just as you said, if Chu Feng can win against Ding Chou and become the champion of this Newcomer's Tournament, then on a later day, I will go to the Shangguan family and apologize for the engagement. Of course, this is only possible if Xiaomei agrees." Su He swore solemnly.

  "Hey, Father, don't worry, Xiaomei would be overjoyed if you were to regret the marriage." Su Rou smiled very happily, it was a heartfelt happiness.

  She first looked at Su Mei, who was not far away, and then cast her eyes on Chu Feng, saying in a low voice: "Chu Feng, Xiao Mei's happiness is all up to you."

  No one heard the conversation between the father and daughter, as everyone's attention was focused on the fighting stage of Ding Ou and Chen Yunxi, where their battle had already reached a boiling point.

  Chen Wanshan launched a fierce attack, using various powerful martial arts techniques one after another. However, what was most astonishing was that Ding Ou had mastered all the martial arts techniques that Chen Wanshan knew. Moreover, whenever Chen Wanshan used a particular technique, Ding Ou would counter with the same technique, and each time they clashed, Ding Ou would gain a slight upper hand over Chen Wanshan.

  It's obvious to everyone now that Ding Chou is too powerful. After messing around for half a day, he didn't even seriously fight Chen Wanshan, and was just playing with him.

  Chen was even more so in front of Ding Ou, completely losing the momentum he had when facing other opponents. At this moment, his cold and proud face was covered with sparkling sweat beads, and he was panting heavily, almost being pushed to the end of the road by Ding Ou.

  "It's a pity, but you must hold on."

  Chen Hui's fists were already clenched in his sleeves, and he secretly wiped a cold sweat for Chen Wei. This time, the new star conference in Zijincheng was a must-win, otherwise they would face the situation of being unable to pay taxes.

  Not to mention, failing to pay tribute would result in punishment from Zhuque City and make a mockery of other cities. From then on, no matter what they did, they would be looked down upon, making it difficult for them to hold their heads high again.

  "Miss, you must win!"

  "Cheer up, miss!"

  In contrast to Chen Hui's silent efforts, the guards of Zijin City shouted loudly and openly cheered on Chen Wenxi, because the honor and shame of Zijin City rested on his shoulders, they could only win and not lose.

  However, the fact is often cruel. After Chen Wanshan had almost exhausted his physical strength, Ding Chou finally launched a counterattack, with a fierce offensive that exceeded everyone's expectations.

  Although it was just the simplest attack method, without even using martial skills, the momentum was enough to make people marvel. In front of him, Chen's attacks were all ineffective, and he could only watch as Ding Chou approached step by step.

  At this moment, people finally knew how strong this unassuming young man was. Chen Wusu, although already a leader among his peers, was still far inferior in front of Ding Ou.

  "You lose, junior sister!"

  Finally, Ding Ou arrived in front of Chen Wanshi. The palm of his hand, as delicate as a woman's, was already pressed against Chen Wanshi's shoulder. Although it seemed weak, the power of this palm was enough to force Chen Wanshi to kneel on the ground, unable to stand up.

  "This son of a bitch!!!"

  Seeing his own daughter being pressed to the ground by Ding Ou on the fighting stage, Chen Hui's anger suddenly made him stand up, a visible flame of rage already covering his face, but he still endured it, because in this situation, he had to endure.

  Defeated, Chen was defeated thoroughly and unexpectedly, no one had thought that Ding Ou would be hiding in such depth, he was so strong that he was invincible among peers of the same cultivation level.

  At this moment, cheers erupted inside and outside the square. Regardless of the outcome, Ding Ou and Chen Wenxi presented a thrilling battle feast for them, and Ding Ou's championship title was well-deserved.

  The people of Fengyun City were overjoyed, especially the lord of Fengyun City, who was beaming with pride. Fengyun City had once again won the championship of the New Star Conference and defended its position as the number one among the twenty cities.

  Compared to the people of Fengyuncheng, the people of Zijincheng were all dejected and disheartened. They had thought that with Chen Yunxu's strength, they already had the championship in their grasp, but unexpectedly they still lost to Ding Ou.

  If it were the rookie games of previous years, losing would be just a loss, at most with some regret. But this time is different, this time they can't afford to lose. If they lose, what awaits them will be great shame. However, for now, they also have no other choice.

  Chen Yanxi had already walked down from the stage, her cold and elegant face still intact, but with a hint of tears in her eyes, it was clear that she too felt disappointed by her own failure.

  As for Ding Ou, he smiled as he watched Chen Yunxi's departing back, a hint of a triumphant smile playing on his lips, and began to walk slowly towards the bottom of the stage.

  "This newcomer conference hasn't ended yet, where are you in a hurry to go?" Just then, a loud voice suddenly sounded behind Ding Ou.

  Turning back to look, on Ding Ou's calm face, a wave of surprise suddenly appeared because he was shocked to discover that there was an extra youth on the fighting platform, and most surprisingly, he had no idea when the other party had arrived.

  In fact, everyone inside and outside the venue was attracted by this scene, because almost everyone did not notice when the young man appeared, and that was Chu Feng.

  "Chu Feng, how did he get up there? Is he trying to get himself killed?"

  The people of Zijincheng, with faces full of anger, even Chen Wuxi was defeated by Ding Ou's hands, they didn't think that Chu Feng could win, instead they all thought that Chu Feng was losing face for them.

  "Are you trying to challenge me?" Ding Ou looked Chu Feng up and down before smiling slightly.

  "A challenge? Don't be ridiculous, I'm just interested in the champion of the newcomer tournament. As for you, you're just a stepping stone for me to win the championship."

  Chu Feng's face wore a faint smile, but his eyes were filled with laziness. After the previous battle between Ding Jie and Chen Xue, Chu Feng still didn't put Ding Jie in his sights.
