Chapter 27 There Should Be a Stake

The fact that Wang Yumeng showed such an expression indicated that she attached importance to this guy. This kind of attention made Luo Jiashan feel a bit angry. Therefore, a pair of gloomy eyes swept over Lu Feng's face, and he secretly harbored hatred in his heart.

A shabby and poor guy like you don't deserve to have a taste of the swan meat!

If he were given a chance now, he definitely wanted to humiliate Lu Feng severely in front of Wang Yumeng.

Suddenly, he had an idea and then came up with a brilliant plan.

Taking a step forward, Luo Jiashan smiled and suggested, "Since there's a competition, just having the competition alone is not very interesting. Whether you win or lose is just a matter of face, and it doesn't really matter. I suggest we place bets. The winner takes the money and leaves, and the loser will also feel the pain of losing money. What do you think?"

Lu Feng's mind stirred, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart. He really wanted to hug and kiss this guy who suddenly proposed the bet. For the first time, he thought that Luo Jiashan, with his sinister eyes, was a bit cute!

Now was exactly the time when he needed money. Not to mention the problem of meals, in half a month, he had to pay the tuition fee that he had agreed with Shang Wende. If he couldn't pay it, he wouldn't have the nerve to continue learning medicine from Shang Wende even if the master didn't drive him away.

Why didn't I think of making a bet!

Lu Feng's eyes swept over the people around, just like a big bad wolf looking at little white sheep.

Another person who was overjoyed was Gao Chengzhi. He knew Luo Jiashan and was even more aware that Luo Jiashan came from a good family.

Luo Jiashan's proposal was simply to his liking. In order to teach Lu Feng a lesson, he had given Wei Xu 50,000 yuan for nothing. If he could win some of that money back in this competition and also humiliate the other party, wouldn't that be a two birds with one stone situation? Of course, the prerequisite was that someone bet on Lu Feng to win.

Without thinking too much, Gao Chengzhi, who couldn't wait for Lu Feng to die immediately, was the first to respond, "I agree. Just having this competition is too boring. I just don't know if some people dare to take a gamble, or perhaps they lack confidence in their parkour skills!"

There was a chorus of agreement around. How could such an exciting competition lack a bet? It's more interesting when there's a bet!

"What do you two think?"

Luo Jiashan smiled and looked at Lu Feng and Wei Xu.

Lu Feng chuckled and said, "If I don't agree, it would spoil everyone's fun. But I can't compare with you rich people. Even if we place a bet, I don't have much money."

Lu Feng was telling the truth, but it didn't sound that way to the people around. They thought that Lu Feng didn't dare to place a big bet, obviously lacking confidence in himself. He was afraid that not only would he lose the competition but also a large amount of money.

"I have no problem either. I'll have a good time with you all today!"

Wei Xu cracked his fingers and said.

"Good. Since everyone agrees, how about I be the bookmaker? Don't worry, I'll also place a bet and won't take a cut. I guarantee it will be absolutely fair."

Luo Jiashan said with a smile. Whether Lu Feng or Wei Xu won or lost, one of them would lose some face. It was better to have one person underestimate the opponent than two.

In the end, everyone agreed with him, and they all put their money in the places indicating whether they bet on Lu Feng or Wei Xu to win.

Everyone except Lu Feng knew that Luo Jiashan was rich. But no one expected that he would reach into his bag and take out 20,000 yuan in cash at once.

Going out with so much cash, isn't he afraid of being robbed?

The people around were extremely jealous of Luo Jiashan's wealth.

There were more than a dozen people who placed bets around, and Wang Yumeng wasn't among them. She was too lazy to get involved in such things. Of course, some people who came over to watch the excitement didn't place bets either. There were too many scammers these days. Who knew if this was a joint effort to cheat money?

After the final count, the total amount of the bets was more than 32,000 yuan. Except for Lu Feng's 1,400 yuan bet on himself to win, everyone else bet on Wei Xu to win. This result made those who placed bets feel a bit bored. So what if they won in the end? How much money could they make?

However, everyone knew that they couldn't make much money from this, but they still wanted to give Lu Feng a good thrashing.

Of course, if he won this competition, then the more than 32,000 yuan would all belong to him alone, which was quite a large sum of money.

Lu Feng was secretly delighted. In this way, he would have the money for his tuition! He could also go out and find a new place to rent a house, getting away from that　hateful　landlady!

Lu Feng looked coldly at the group of people looking at him with contempt and sneered in his heart.

He would prove with his actual actions what it meant to be powerful. This time, he definitely wanted to teach them a painful lesson!

"Okay, now the countdown to the competition begins. You two, please get ready." Luo Jiashan's cold eyes swept over Lu Feng, and he secretly sneered.

Wei Xu was naturally ready at this time. Today's events made him feel a faint sense of excitement. Especially after placing the bet, it further ignited his desire to win.

"Start!" With the order given, the sound immediately rang out above the forest area.

Wei Xu was indeed a top player in the provincial parkour team. As soon as the word "start" was uttered, his body shot towards the first stone wall dozens of meters away in the forest area like a sharp arrow. Moreover, although his footsteps were running at an extreme speed, each landing position was almost the same. The distance and his body posture were subtly controlled, reducing a lot of wind resistance.

"Ha..."

With a low shout, Wei Xu had already jumped into the air. His left toe gently tapped on the stone wall, and immediately his body shot up even higher. At this moment, he was able to support himself on the top of the stone wall with his hand.

Wei Xu's figure could be described as graceful and elegant, and the well-proportioned muscles on his body were very aesthetically pleasing. When he supported himself on the top of the stone wall, one hand rotated quickly, and his feet were quickly lifted. He was like doing a front flip. After a 360-degree spin, he not only landed steadily on the ground but also maintained the momentum of his body, which was in a posture to move forward.

"Great..." His wonderful performance won the cheers and applause of everyone present.

Lu Feng, on the other hand, didn't have such a prominent performance. His body didn't seem suitable for parkour, but his running speed was extremely fast, and it even faintly surpassed Wei Xu's.

When he reached the first stone wall, he stepped on the side wall with his right foot and pounced towards the wall in front of him. Like a floating feather, he lifted his legs lightly. Without any fancy tricks, he climbed over it.

The cheers for Wei Xu made him feel extremely proud. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lu Feng and was shocked to find that Lu Feng's speed was actually faster than his. His speed immediately increased even more.

"Tsk... He doesn't even have any fancy moves. How can this be called parkour? It's just like climbing over walls and doing somersaults."

Luo Jiashan stood on a high place and snorted disdainfully as he looked at Lu Feng's back.

"Yeah, what's wrong with this guy today? His level doesn't seem like the one from last time. But his speed is really fast. I guess he's only focusing on speed and can't do any fancy moves?"

There was a thick look of confusion on Lei Heng's face.

Gao Chengzhi stared at Lu Feng's back with a sinister look in his eyes. He was extremely eager to see Lu Feng lose, and lose miserably! Otherwise, he couldn't quell the hatred in his heart!

Wang Yumeng's face showed a bit of disappointment. Although she was angry that Lu Feng had deceived her, seeing that he really wasn't very good at parkour still made her feel a bit uncomfortable. As for why she had such an emotion, even she herself didn't know. She silently sighed in her heart and looked towards the competition between the two again.

At the second stone wall, Lu Feng still showed average skills, while Wei Xu's performance once again received a round of cheers and exclamations.

As Wei Xu moved quickly, his eyes quickly swept over Lu Feng. A look of disdain appeared on his lips. He had originally thought that this guy had some real skills. Even if he wanted to beat him, he would have to put in some effort. But he didn't expect that he would perform so poorly. Except for his fast speed and relatively strong jumping ability, he was simply useless.

With contempt in his heart, he was even more filled with passion. If he could finish the race a bit faster than this guy and reach the end while the guy hadn't finished yet, that would be really interesting!

Thinking of this, his speed increased even more, and he almost instantly increased his body speed to the limit.

As Lu Feng rushed past the second stone wall, a playful expression appeared on his lips. How could he not have noticed Wei Xu's glance? He sneered coldly and started to accelerate. Just below the third stone wall, his body shot up into the air like a cannonball. He grabbed the top of the wall with one hand. As the internal qi in his body flowed rapidly, his body was in a vertical state, with his head down and feet up. He made a 620-degree mid-air spin and at the same time moved parallel towards the direction of the fourth stone wall.

Suddenly, the cheers outside stopped abruptly. Everyone seemed to have seen a ghost and drew a sharp breath in unison.

How was this possible? Could this still be considered a move performed by a human?

With his head down and feet up, he left the stone wall in this upright position, and he was able to make a 620-degree mid-air spin at a distance of one meter away from the stone wall. This was simply too incredible!

Even Gao Chengzhi, who had been shouting the loudest just now, seemed to have his throat tightly choked by a pair of big hands. His expression quickly changed from excitement and madness to astonishment and disbelief, making his face turn purple.

However, the wonderful performance didn't end there.

Lu Feng quickly spun 620 degrees in mid-air. And as if there was some kind of assistance, his body twisted in a strange way. His feet actually landed even faster. The moment his body touched the ground, all the people watching from a distance had already run to the observation platform on a high place. From this place, they could clearly see the scene in the competition field.

The first part of Lu Feng's body to touch the ground was his feet. After his toes landed, his heels didn't step down. Instead, his body bent into an arc, just like the rebound when a bowstring broke. Lu Feng's body shifted sideways and rebounded towards the fourth stone wall.
