The faster you point them out, the more points you’ll earn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But be careful, once you fail to point them out, not only will your earned points be deducted, but this segment of notes will also transform into a furious Celestial Sound Beast and launch an attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A reminder, the Sound Beasts in this trial are different from those you encounter outside; these Sound Beasts won’t be harmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, if you answer incorrectly, you will be continuously attacked by the furious Sound Beasts until this round of the appraisal ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many prodigies turned slightly pale; after the first round of the Celestial Sound Ladder, they realized this assessment was much harder than in previous years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They truly didn’t know if their understanding of the Great Dao of Celestial Sound was enough to discern the errors within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those standing in the back from the Blowing Sound Sect muttered softly, \"If it really doesn’t work, then don’t answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who answer incorrectly might get torn apart by the furious Sound Beasts, and even if they survive, their scores might turn negative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating this way, if they don’t appraise the music, they might be able to advance to the next stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celestial Sound Saintess seemed to hear these murmurs and turned back with a smile: \"Don’t think about exploiting loopholes; I can change the assessment rules at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pondered briefly, then added: \"Given this, if you fail to appraise within the time, you’ll also be attacked by the Sound Beasts. If you can withstand it, you can stay; otherwise, you’ll be killed by the Sound Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Progenies’ expressions turned even sourer, and a few less confident ones couldn’t help but ask, \"Do we have to participate in the second round of assessments?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This death rate sounds too high; I’m not confident at all,\" one muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celestial Sound Saintess curved her lips slightly: \"You can choose to withdraw; I’ll transport you to a random location in the Secret Realm where you can continue to seek the Secret Treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you’ve come this far, do you really want to give up this opportunity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prodigy who spoke before stood there conflicted, unable to say a word for a while. Instead, a few who hadn’t spoken decided to give up the assessment and were directly transported out by the Celestial Sound Saintess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scanned the crowd and, noticing no one else intended to withdraw, calmly said, \"You can choose your pavilion; the first round of music appraisal will begin after an incense stick. Be prepared and act within your capacity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, her figure gradually faded, merging back into the thunderclouds overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng glanced worriedly at Qi Wan’Er beside him, thinking about checking out the pavilion closest to the waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t replicate it into the Dream Realm Pearl, he wanted to take this opportunity to cleanse his Spiritual Power a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Wan’Er’s situation was different. If she were in the front pavilion, Xia Feng worried she might not hold up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing his concern, Qi Wan’Er held Xia Feng’s hand, speaking softly, \"Don’t worry, I’ve adapted to the waterfall’s wash by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe after a while, I can be like you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng frowned, looking at Qi Wan’Er, who still seemed uncomfortable, knowing she said this to prevent him from worrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wan’Er smiled lightly, \"Don’t worry, if I feel I can’t hold on, I’ll definitely say so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With you here, I can rely on you at any time, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng knew Qi Wan’Er was referring to the Dream Realm Pearl. After weighing the pros and cons, he was still more interested in the waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squeezed Qi Wan’Er’s fingers gently: \"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately. Even if I have to deal with the Sound Beast, I’ll protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wan’Er was about to voice her gratitude when a prodigy from the High Tone Sect arrogantly interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal with the Sound Beast, huh. The Celestial Sound Saintess said the furious Sound Beasts can’t be harmed. You’re just bluffing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch your tongue; don’t get ripped apart by the Sound Beasts later on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng shot a cold glance, intending to settle things with this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Tone Sect prodigy seemed frightened by Xia Feng, shrinking back slightly and said, \"What are you doing? You’re not allowed to attack other trial-takers during the assessment. Do you want to be disqualified?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wan’Er looked worriedly at Xia Feng, as if afraid he would act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person opposite was just a clown. Losing their chance at the inheritance over someone like this would be a huge loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snorting coldly, Xia Feng assessed the person briefly before turning and leading Qi Wan’Er to the pavilion nearest the waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their bold choice, many prodigies gasped: \"Is he crazy, going so far to the front? He doesn’t care about his life for the appraisal order?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s probably just forcing himself; when the music appraisal starts, he’ll have cause to cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring their words, Xia Feng was instead worriedly watching Qi Wan’Er beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the pavilion, he noticed the sound waves here washed over Spiritual Power even more forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wan’Er beside him looked paler, but Xia Feng’s Spiritual Power flowed through their clasped hands into her mental sea, forming a thin protective barrier for her Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wan’Er gradually adapted to this rhythm, barely relaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank goodness you’re here; after your Spiritual Power filtered it, even these sound waves can cleanse my Spiritual Power,\" she said, finally relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling reassured, Xia Feng sat in the pavilion, waiting for the first round of music appraisal to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, everyone had chosen their spot. Besides Xia Feng, the first pavilion contained four or five others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t recognize the others, but seeing Mo Rongying enter, Xia Feng was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this person’s attitude toward Qi Wan’Er had always been good, Xia Feng couldn’t resist offering a warning: \"The very front might be the most dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Rongying glanced at Xia Feng, not responding to his concern, but instead offered a faint smile, leaving Xia Feng somewhat baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-05T22:57:58.269Z",1,"novelbin.me","2a52685e47a10ec431f7f09dc5d5edb8c53b8778953aaab704cfe53aeaa69cfe","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-574","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-572",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
