The young hero’s body froze, the ferocity on his face became more pronounced as he waved his arms, preparing to continue attacking Xia Feng.

But just then, the raging Celestial Sound Beast behind him took shape, and while he was completely unaware, it opened its mouth and swallowed him whole.

Screams echoed from the mouth and abdomen of the Celestial Sound Beast, accompanied by the young hero’s curses directed at Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er, becoming the only sound in this space.

When the screams ceased, many young heroes had not yet come to their senses, their expressions complex as they looked in Xia Feng’s direction.

Xia Feng snorted coldly: "What are you looking at? Stupid and reckless, brought it upon himself."

He glanced around, sneering at the surviving young heroes: "If you have time to attack me, you’d better think about how to answer the music appreciation questions."

After saying that, he pulled Qi Wan’Er to a spot farther away from everyone else to sit and rest again.

Returning to the Dream Realm Pearl space, Xia Feng was still furious, pacing back and forth inside the space.

"I was just starting to grasp the sound waves of that waterfall, and then this guy suddenly attacked me, completely disrupting my thoughts."

You must know that such a flash of insight is very rare, and if Xia Feng immersed himself in that insight, he might really have been able to replicate the waterfall.

Now that he’s been interrupted, it will take much more time again.

Beside him, Qi Wan’Er looked at Xia Feng with some heartache: "No rush, we can take our time."

"Maybe the final inheritance will be like the two previous Secret Realms you encountered, capable of merging the entire Secret Realm into the Dream Realm Pearl."

Xia Feng did not respond to this. The Celestial Sound Secret Realm was different from Wuji and Celestial Sword Secret Realms. He had already discovered when he saw the Celestial Sound Saintess that this Secret Realm, unlike the other two, was still alive.

However, it was somewhat troublesome to explain, so Xia Feng did not bother to explain further to Qi Wan’Er, only sighed helplessly and ruffled her hair.

"It’s nothing; I’m just a little unhappy. But since I had already found a clue earlier, continuing to delve into it won’t be too troublesome now."

They answered three more rounds of questions, and Xia Feng finally managed to replicate the waterfall one-to-one into the Dream Realm Pearl before the second round of the test ended.

Xia Feng noticed that the music for the second round of the assessment appeared ten times in total, mirroring the ten steps of the first round.

When he and Qi Wan’Er finished answering the tenth question, even before the punishment for this round was over, the Celestial Sound Saintess had already emerged from the thunderclouds.

The Celestial Sound Beasts, whose figures were gradually becoming solid around the pavilion, froze in place the instant the Celestial Sound Saintess appeared.

Rigid and numb, their faces showed visible fear, and then, silently, they exploded into strands of pure energy, converging into the thunderclouds in mid-air.

Xia Feng looked at the thunderclouds in mid-air with an increasingly solemn expression.

These raging Celestial Sound Beasts were all formed from those deceased young heroes, and now all the energy was being absorbed by the thunderclouds, causing Xia Feng some concern that he might feel pressure if he has to confront these thunderclouds later.

It’s known that 106 young heroes passed the first test; they were already the top elites of the younger generation in the Celestial Sound Divine Domain.

There were 103 participants in the second test, but only 21 passed, and the remaining 80 plus became part of the thunderclouds.

It’s not that those 80 plus were not strong, but most of these 21 lingered at the last pavilion, relying on the methods prepared by their respective Divine Kings to resist the attacks of the raging Celestial Sound Beasts, rather than actually answering the questions to hold on until the end.

Even Mo Rongying made consecutive mistakes on the last two questions, and she was in the first pavilion with Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er, enduring attacks from Celestial Sound Beasts far more intense than those in the last pavilion.

If not for Demon Sound Divine King’s particular favor on her, having prepared various methods for her, she might also have been directly consumed by the Celestial Sound Beasts in the last two rounds.

Even so, Mo Rongying suffered quite a few injuries, and even her Spiritual Power ached faintly from being overdrawn.

She looked at Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er with a less than pleasant expression, and after a few breaths, awkwardly spoke up: "Thank you."

Qi Wan’Er, not quite understanding, but Xia Feng accepted her thanks naturally.

If not for Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er answering the last round of questions exceptionally swiftly, ending the second test early, Mo Rongying might not have been standing there intact.

So he accepted the thanks as a matter of course.

The Celestial Sound Saintess, on the other hand, turned to glance at the three of them, and spoke in a calm voice: "Congratulations on passing the second test."

"This time, a total of 21 people passed, and like the first round, there are rewards for the top three."

Xia Feng’s eyes lit up. During the first round, the rewards of the Dragon’s Chanting Zither, Phoenix Cry Flute, and the ensemble Sound Attack they received were already quite formidable.

The second test was significantly more difficult than the first, and the rewards might be even more potent.

The Celestial Sound Saintess waved her hand, and three creatures resembling Celestial Sound Elves appeared before her.

The three continuously bounced around her, emitting joyful notes that lifted everyone’s spirits.

Those young heroes in the last pavilion looked at Xia Feng and the other two with jealousy, clearly aware they wouldn’t stand a chance at the rewards with them there.

Not to mention the disparity in strength, just that Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er answered the questions like machines, going through all ten rounds without pause.

Their combined scores might not even compare to Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er’s individual scores, so they could only watch enviously as the Celestial Sound Saintess presented the rewards.

At this moment, Xia Feng was studying the three Celestial Sound Elves.

The one on the far left looked the largest, adorned with the most decorations, the one in the center had fewer, and the one on the right had the least, appearing only slightly stronger than a regular Celestial Sound Elf.

The Celestial Sound Saintess pointed her finger at the foremost elf, introducing the prizes to everyone.

"The first prize is the Celestial Sound Elf Emperor, the most robust in enhancing musical Great Dao."

"The second is the Celestial Sound Elf King, second only to the Celestial Sound Elf Emperor in enhancing music."

"The third is a strong Celestial Sound Elf, slightly more potent than a regular Celestial Sound Elf."

Beside him, Qi Wan’Er was already excitedly eyeing the Celestial Sound Elf King.

Though she and Xia Feng consistently answered simultaneously, accumulating the same amount of points, she never intended to compete with Xia Feng for resources. Upon seeing the different rewards, she instinctively felt that the first prize was meant for Xia Feng.
