The Celestial Sound Saintess watched the two with great interest, as if she was secretly hoping they would fight over the first-place prize.

However, Qi Wan’Er wasn’t even looking at the first-place reward, her eyes were just full of excitement as she stared at the Celestial Sound Elf King.

The Celestial Sound Saintess asked with a hint of confusion, "Your points are the same. You also have the right to compete for the first-place reward."

Qi Wan’Er hadn’t reacted, but Xia Feng, standing beside her, blinked and stepped in front of her: "Since you put it that way, with our scores being the same, we’re both tied for first place. We should both receive first-place rewards."

The Celestial Sound Saintess didn’t say anything, but Xia Feng noticed her deep in thought, and he added: "What, you don’t have enough Celestial Sound Elf Emperors?"

"You didn’t anticipate such a situation?"

The Celestial Sound Saintess furrowed her brows slightly, but quickly regained her original expression.

"You’re right, both of you are first place, and the rewards should be the same."

She lightly tapped the Celestial Sound Elf King with her finger, and notes continuously gathered into the Elf King. In the blink of an eye, its form grew several sizes and new adornments appeared on it, transforming it into a new Celestial Sound Elf Emperor.

Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er simultaneously looked at the Celestial Sound Saintess, their eyes bright as if they wanted to take her away.

The Celestial Sound Elf Emperor would disappear after one use, but it seemed like the Celestial Sound Saintess could mass produce Celestial Sound Elf Emperors.

If they could trap this person in the Dream Realm Pearl and have her produce them daily...

The Celestial Sound Saintess, not knowing what the two were thinking, felt somewhat uncomfortable under their gaze and asked with a frown, "Do you have any other questions?"

Xia Feng cleared his throat lightly: "No more questions."

Although he said no more questions, his voice carried a note of regret.

Beside him, Qi Wan’Er also looked regretful. Although Xia Feng said she was similar in nature to a Celestial Sound Elf, trying to take away such a gathering of Great Dao Rules would undoubtedly be difficult.

Especially since the Celestial Sound Saintess existed by relying on the Celestial Sound Secret Realm. No one knew if she would retain such abilities if she left the Secret Realm.

They collected their rewards, and nearby, Mo Rongying glanced at the giant Celestial Sound Elf Emperors in their hands, then at the strong Celestial Sound Elf in his own, slightly pursing his lips before putting it away.

The Celestial Sound Saintess looked at everyone and began to announce the rules for the third stage.

"Congratulations on passing through numerous trials to reach the final stage of the inheritance."

"In this round, we will still be assessing the Great Dao of Music, but we won’t be evaluating your comprehension and control. Instead, we will be assessing your attack power."

Upon hearing this, Xia Feng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The Celestial Sound Saintess continued, "In this round, you can only use methods related to the Great Dao of Music for combat. All other methods will be sealed and unusable."

"You will next engage in a brawl on the Celestial Sound Platform, fighting until only one remains."

These last four words were spoken very lightly, but they struck heavily on the hearts of everyone present, causing everyone’s expressions to change.

A prodigy standing in the back protested, "This isn’t fair, that guy in the front has an incredibly powerful Divine Artifact."

"I’ve even heard it’s an Ancient Divine Artifact. If he’s allowed to use that thing, we don’t stand a chance against him."

"I challenge the fairness of this assessment. Saintess, you should seal all the things this guy is carrying and not let him use them."

As he spoke, his eyes couldn’t help but dart around greedily, particularly lingering on the Celestial Sound Elf Emperors that Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er were holding for quite a while.

He spoke up, seeing Xia Feng negotiating with the Celestial Sound Saintess over the rewards in the second stage.

The Celestial Sound Saintess seemed easy to negotiate with, and when Xia Feng questioned something, she changed the reward.

Now he pointed out a flaw in the competition, hoping that the Celestial Sound Saintess would consider sealing Xia Feng’s Divine Artifact.

He looked at Xia Feng with a malicious gleam in his eyes, hoping the Celestial Sound Saintess would revoke this guy’s trial qualifications.

If that happened and he claimed the final inheritance, he might even finish this guy off afterwards to seize the Celestial Sound Elf Emperor from him.

After all, it’s a Celestial Sound Elf Emperor, the ultimate gathering of the Melody Rules, able to greatly accelerate one’s comprehension speed of the Great Dao Rules.

Such a valuable item in the hands of someone like Xia Feng, who could easily comprehend the Great Dao, was simply a waste.

It would be better if he took it himself. Maybe he could leverage it to break through to the True God Realm, making the most of it.

The prodigy was quite pleased with his thoughts, but opposite him, the Celestial Sound Saintess looked increasingly displeased.

Xia Feng’s proposal earlier did not violate the rules, but what was this guy speaking for?

The rules didn’t say that instrumental Divine Artifacts couldn’t be used; questioning her fairness like this was unacceptable.

The Celestial Sound Saintess’s smile turned icy: "If you consider it unfair, I can prohibit all external items."

She glanced at the Protective Talisman Array and various life-saving trinkets on this person, her expression growing nastier.

These trinkets were what had hindered the rampaging Celestial Sound Beasts from consuming them after Young Master Lei Yun absorbed a lot of energy.

Seeing these people as unlikely to successfully obtain the inheritance, the Celestial Sound Saintess wasn’t as courteous to them as she was to Xia Feng.

Coldly, her pretty face frosty, she sneered: "If you agree, then I’ll seal off all external items, leaving nothing but your understanding of the Great Dao of Music to compete with. Remember, fight until only one remains."

After she said this, those prodigies were obviously not going to agree. Based on Xia Feng’s performance in the first two stages, no one would believe he had a weak grasp of the Great Dao of Music.

They were still planning to use trump cards to deal with these two first before deciding who would accept the inheritance.

If all their trump cards were sealed now, what would they use to take on Xia Feng, their lives?

Thinking this, the previously outspoken prodigy said with a sour face, "The fairness I’m talking about isn’t like this..."

The Celestial Sound Saintess snorted coldly, "Sealing everyone else’s gear while letting you keep yours is fair?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"You’re just twisting logic."

The prodigy gritted his teeth, still stubbornly adding, "Say what you will, but his Ancient Divine Artifact should be sealed, right?"
