Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Deep within the arena of the Monster Mountain Forest.

The towering ancient trees are layered upon layered, their dense branches and leaves blocking out the sunlight overhead. A thin mist lingers in the forest year-round, limiting visibility. Occasionally, a few low-level demonic beasts can be seen leisurely wandering around the forest.

The monsters in this area are mostly docile, and they will not attack as long as the contestants do not provoke or provoke them.

The entire forest was unusually quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and a few clear bird calls in the air.

Chu Ge and Ailiya walked slowly through the forest mist, exploring the arena area.

Arya didn't bring her usual piano this time. The piano was too big to bring into the outdoor competition arena, so she only brought her second best instrument—the violin.

As for Amber, who had been by his side, the event organizers determined before the competition that she was an external aid and prohibited her from being brought into the competition area.

Before entering the arena, Chu Ge entrusted Amber to Clara's care.

Clara has a particular fondness for cute things like this. As soon as Amber was placed in her arms, she hugged the little guy with a satisfied expression and kept rubbing against him, unable to put him down.

There were no spectators at the mountain forest venue for this competition. Outsiders who wanted to know about the competition could only rely on live-streaming drones scattered throughout the mountains and forests.

The two walked along the forest path for a while when they suddenly heard a noise ahead.

Mixed together were the melodious sounds of musical instruments and the sounds of fierce fighting and collisions.

Arya tensed up instantly, raised her hand to hug the violin in her arms tightly, and turned to look at Chu Ge beside her.

"Sister, it looks like there's a fight going on up ahead."

"Then let's go over and see what's going on," Chu Ge said softly.

"it is good."

The two tiptoed toward the direction from which the commotion was coming.

……

In a clearing in the woods, four contestants are divided into two battlefields for one-on-one duels.

One of the battlefields stood a young man, tall and straight, holding an erhu in his hand, his fingertips constantly pulling the bow.

The desolate and mournful sound of the zither flowed continuously along the strings, lingering over the entire small battlefield. As the sound reverberated, it activated the badge of sound worn on his chest.

The magic of the music was generated, slowly enveloping the young man's entire body and forming a faint magical barrier.

A cold smile curled at the corner of the young man's lips as he forcefully pulled the bow across his wrist.

A chilling and murderous sonic power erupted instantly, condensing into a long, narrow blade of light, which slashed fiercely at the opponent ten meters away.

A young man standing opposite him, holding a chest drum, suddenly turned cold when he saw the approaching blade.

"Good timing."

He gave a low shout and slammed the drumstick down hard.

The heavy, muffled drumbeats exploded, and the magic of the music coalesced, forming a giant warhammer that appeared out of thin air and clashed fiercely with the incoming blade.

The two sonic techniques collided with a deafening clang of metal against metal that echoed through the forest.

The violent shockwave spread outward from the point of impact, dispersing a large area of ​​the dense fog that surrounded the area.

Not far from where these two were fighting, two other girls were also locked in a fierce battle.

A young girl plays a violin continuously, producing long, resonant notes. Another girl plays a gourd flute, creating a counter-melody.

The two sound waves collided and pulled each other in mid-air, locked in a stalemate, neither able to suppress the other's offensive.

"I will never give up," the violin-playing girl gritted her teeth and persisted.

"Bring it on!" the girl playing the hulusi retorted defiantly.

The four were completely absorbed in the battle, fighting fiercely and focusing all their attention on their opponents, so they didn't notice that someone was quietly approaching from the shadows in the forest.

A few breaths later, two figures reached the edge of the battlefield, hiding behind thick ancient trees, and quietly watching the fighting inside.

One of the people in the shadows asked in a low voice.

"Shall we start now?"

The other person gently shook their head.

"No need to rush, wait a while, until they are exhausted and both are severely injured."

"At that time, all four Sound Badges on the field will be ours."

The two ambushers lurking in the shadows were twin brothers.

My older brother's name is Lin Daqiang.

My younger brother's name is Lin Xiaoqiang.

Both of them habitually use guitars as their weapon and are adept at reaping victory through surprise attacks.

Time passed slowly, and two minutes flew by.

The four participants in the arena were almost completely exhausted.

The four unleashed their final powerful sonic attack, completely exhausting their strength. They collapsed onto the grass, panting heavily, unable to move any further.

After a brief rest of a few seconds, the young man who played the erhu managed to regain some strength and slowly stood up, supporting his aching body.

He dragged his weary steps toward the young man with the chest drum.

As he approached the other man, he lowered his head slightly, his gaze meeting the resentful eyes of the young man with his chest puffed out.

He forced a tired smile, his voice hoarse.

"In the end, we still won."

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down and reached out towards the sound badge hanging on the other person's chest.

Upon seeing this, the young man with the chest drum turned red with rage and roared out with his last bit of strength.

"You bastard! Don't touch my badge!"

He struggled desperately to get up and stop them, but all his strength was exhausted, and his limbs were weak and powerless. He had many cuts from the battle, and blood kept seeping out of the wounds, making it impossible for him to exert any force or move.

The young erhu player completely ignored the other person's struggles.

The other party's feeble stubbornness is now meaningless.

The young man with the chest drum could only watch helplessly as the badge of sound he had painstakingly protected was casually taken away by the other party.

After collecting the badge from the chest drum youth, the erhu youth turned to the exhausted violin girl on the other side and took her sound badge in the same way.

After receiving two badges, he did not immediately leave with his companions. Instead, he took out the event's call button from his pocket and pressed the rescue button.

After doing all this, he looked at the two people lying on the ground and spoke calmly.

"I've already called for the event's rescue team. You should rest and recover your strength. Once the rescue team arrives, leave this area as soon as possible."

"Without the Badge of Sound, you cannot manipulate any musical magic, and you have no way to protect yourself in the arena."

"It's alright if you encounter other contestants; without badges, you won't become targets for others. But if you run into carnivorous monsters, you can only pray for good luck."

After giving him a few words of advice, he turned and walked toward the girl playing the hulusi, who was also exhausted, and bent down to help his companion up.

He stood in front of the girl, extending his right hand, his eyes showing weariness, but his smile remained warm.

"Get up, let's rest for a while and then continue to face our next opponent and strive for even better results."

The girl playing the hulusi looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness, and nodded gently in response.

"it is good."

She raised her aching right hand and, with all her might, reached out to grab the other person's palm.

The fingertips are about to touch the palm.

puff--!

A sharp blade of light appeared out of nowhere, cutting through layers of mist and striking precisely the outstretched wrist of the young erhu player.

Fresh blood gushed out instantly.

The arm was severed at the wrist, and the severed hand crashed heavily onto the lush green grass.

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly echoed through the forest.

The young erhu player lost control and fell to the ground, his body twisting and struggling violently on the grass. The erhu in his arms rolled to the side, and his only remaining left hand tightly covered his empty, broken wrist. The excruciating pain made his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

The girl playing the hulusi (a type of Chinese flute) next to him froze on the spot, her mind going blank.

A few seconds later, a sharp scream burst from her mouth.

Looking at her companion amidst the blood and agonizing cries, she wanted to get up and help him, and even tried to reconnect the severed hand.

However, he was so weak that he couldn't even move, let alone get up.

A wave of overwhelming fear washed over her; she trembled uncontrollably, and large tears streamed down her face.

She could only keep muttering to herself, trying to comfort herself.

"It's okay...it will all be alright..."

Not far away, the young man playing the chest drum and the girl playing the violin, who had been sitting slumped over resting, had just recovered some of their strength.

The two witnessed the sudden attack and felt a strong sense of crisis instantly.

The young man with the bulging chest immediately realized that there were outsiders hiding on this battlefield, waiting to reap the benefits.

"Watch out! There are other people here!"

He hurriedly shouted a reminder to the dazed girl playing the hulusi.

A person who can sever a contestant's hand without hesitation is extremely ruthless and definitely not someone to mess with.

As soon as he shouted, two figures slowly emerged from behind the ancient tree.

It was none other than the twin brothers Lin Daqiang and Lin Xiaoqiang, who had been waiting for their chance.

The two looked exactly alike, but their expressions were different, and each was holding a guitar in their arms.

The two walked up to the young erhu player who was wailing incessantly, and looked at his painful struggle without showing any emotion.

The older brother, Lin Daqiang, reached out first and ripped off the Sound Badge from the erhu-playing youth's chest. He then took the two badges he had just acquired from the youth's pocket and pocketed them all.

The younger brother, Lin Xiaoqiang, quickly stepped forward and yanked off the badge from the girl's chest with a swift and forceful motion.

After collecting all the badges, Lin Daqiang smiled smugly.

"I've said it before, head-on confrontation is the act of a fool."

"Sneak attacks and picking off the weak points are the safest way to win this match."

Lin Xiaoqiang, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, hung the newly acquired badge around his neck, and kept looking at it and showing it off.

"Yes, brother is right."

At this moment, the two brothers had collected a total of six Sound Badges.

If they continue to use this method of ambushing and reaping loot, they will likely obtain more than half of the badges and take first place in this competition when the one-hour event ends.

Lin Xiaoqiang glanced down at the young erhu player groaning on the ground, then leaned closer to his brother and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, what should we do with these people?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and lightly traced a line across his neck, making a gesture as if to silence him.

When Lin Daqiang saw his brother's actions, a vein throbbed on his forehead, and he raised his hand and slapped his brother hard on the forehead.

"Do you think this is some uncontrolled, desolate wilderness where you can just kill people whenever you want?!"

Lin Xiaoqiang rubbed his aching forehead and looked around blankly.

"Isn't this just a desolate wilderness? We haven't seen anyone else besides the six of us... No one would know if we killed them."

Lin Daqiang was speechless with anger at his younger brother's stupid words, and slapped his forehead several more times.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Is killing all you can think about?"

"We are contestants, not desperate killers."

He raised his hand and pointed to the live-streaming drone hovering in mid-air, his tone serious.

"See that? Tell me what it is."

"Live streaming drones."

"I thought you didn't know!" Lin Daqiang smacked his younger brother on the head again.

"Countless people are watching every move on the field. If you dare to kill them, you will face imprisonment after the match ends."

Lin Daqiang knew exactly what was going on.

The competition in the battle of sound is inherently brutal.

The tactic of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, is at most opportunistic and a moral issue, entirely within the tolerance range of the competition rules.

But if they get the badge and then go on a rampage, the nature of the operation changes completely.

This constitutes malicious injury and premeditated murder, and the perpetrator will inevitably face severe judgment from the organizers after the competition.

His sneak attack to cut off the opponent's hand was only meant to cripple their fighting ability; he never intended to take their life.

Lin Xiaoqiang then belatedly realized what was happening and nodded dejectedly.

"Oh, I understand."

Lin Daqiang looked down at the young erhu player still groaning on the ground and spoke in a detached tone.

"The rescue call was triggered a long time ago. Whether you can hold out until the rescue team arrives depends entirely on your luck."

After saying that, he didn't look at the four people around him again, and turned to give instructions to his younger brother.

"Let's go, keep exploring, and see if there are any more targets to harvest."

After the twin brothers turned and left, the young man playing the chest drum and the girl playing the violin breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to the young man playing the erhu to try to stop his bleeding.

On the other side, Lin Daqiang led his younger brother forward for several hundred meters when they suddenly stopped.

"Stop! Someone's coming from ahead."

Lin Xiaoqiang tensed up instantly, staring wide-eyed at the fog-shrouded distance ahead.

In the hazy mist, three silhouettes slowly emerged.

Beside the two slender figures stood a large, imposing figure. Heavy footsteps pounded the ground, creating a slight tremor.

With its enormous size and heavy gait, even a demon could tell it was a monster.

Lin Daqiang's heart sank, and he instantly had a bad feeling.

Before the other party could fully emerge from the fog, he preemptively struck.

With both hands rapidly strumming the guitar strings, a violent melody erupted instantly, and a heavy longsword materialized in mid-air, slashing fiercely into the depths of the mist with a sharp whistling sound.

However, the slashing blade had not yet reached its target.

A deafening roar that shook the mountains and forests suddenly erupted.

The powerful sound waves crushed the musical longsword, and the remaining force slammed into the twin brothers.

The two were instantly thrown away by the violent shockwave, tumbling several times on the grass before finally coming to a stop in a sorry state.

Lin Daqiang pushed himself up from the ground, spitting out the mud and grass clippings from his mouth, his face a mess.

When he looked up and saw the three figures in front of him, his heart clenched and his eyelids twitched wildly.

As the fog dissipated, the figures of two young girls became clearly visible.

The girl on the left has clean and pure eyes.

The girl on the right has calm and composed red eyes.

Blocking the way for the two was a massive B-rank mid-stage giant rhinoceros, with thick hide and exuding a fierce aura.

Lin Daqiang instantly recognized the two men and immediately felt the urge to retreat.

These two are the dark horses of this competition; their musical talent is unfathomable, and they are not to be trifled with.

Before encountering the twin brothers, Chu Ge and Ailiya had just finished a large-scale battle involving ten people.

The battlefield originally housed ten contestants fighting fiercely, and one of them successfully bewitched the giant rhinoceros.

The giant rhinoceros has thick hide and strong defense; ordinary sonic attacks cannot break through its defenses, and its impact force is extremely fierce.

It rampaged through the ten-person melee, unstoppable, and single-handedly helped its master break through the encirclement and win the entire battle.

Just as that player stood in the middle of the battlefield, a scene of utter devastation, laughing as he collected all the defeated players' badges.

The giant rhinoceros that had been obediently waiting behind him suddenly turned around and charged straight at him.

Before he could react, he was violently rammed by the giant rhinoceros and sent flying, hanging from a high tree branch, unable to move.

The bewildered contestant soon saw two figures emerge from behind the ancient tree.

Arya, with her graceful figure, slowly played her violin, producing a long and gentle melody.

Gradually, it covered up the giant rhinoceros's originally bewitched mind, completely rewriting the control of the monster.

The powerful monster that the other party had painstakingly bewitched and tamed was easily taken away by Aria.

From lying low and observing, to seizing the right opportunity to tamper with the control of the monsters, and then to reaping all the spoils of war, it was all planned and executed by her alone.

Chu Ge did not intervene at all, but simply stood aside and watched quietly as Aria calmly planned and finally succeeded in obtaining a total of ten Sound Badges.

After collecting their spoils, the two humans and one beast continued to explore the arena, where they ran into the twin brothers who had just ambushed the four of them.

Arya turned to look at Chu Ge beside her, her tone serious.

"Sister, leave these two to me."

"Okay, be careful." Chu Ge nodded slightly and took a few steps back.

She deliberately made room for the battle, intending to observe Arya's actual combat growth.

The previous ten-person melee was achieved by ambushing and taking advantage of the situation.

But the twin brothers in front of them are in good condition, full of energy and ready to fight, making it a real head-on confrontation.

Not far away, Lin Xiaoqiang looked at the girl opposite him, then at his own brother, and muttered to himself.

"Brother, these two are dark horse players, they're incredibly strong, we definitely can't beat them."

"You can't do it, maybe you should just give up."

Lin Daqiang was originally focused on retreating, but upon hearing his brother's words, his competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

He raised his hand and patted his younger brother's head again, stubbornly putting on a brave front.

"Nonsense! How can a man say he can't do it!"

He forced himself and his brother to cheer up, his gaze sweeping over the two people and one beast opposite them, desperately trying to find an advantage.

There were two of them, and there were two of us.

"They're as light as bamboo poles; their combined weight isn't even half ours."

"Brothers united can move mountains; with our combined strength, we have nothing to fear from them."

He then looked at Chu Ge, who had remained silent throughout, and spoke with certainty.

"Look at Alice, she didn't make a move the whole time, clearly only sending her sister to fight. We're two against one, so the advantage is on our side."

Lin Xiaoqiang thought about it for a moment and realized that his brother made sense, and his eyes slowly brightened.

"It seems...that's indeed the case."

Seeing his younger brother's fighting spirit rekindled, Lin Daqiang seized the opportunity and continued to encourage him with empty promises.

"Win this match well and take their badge. Once we make it to the finals, I'll go back and marry you two wives who will take care of you every day."

Lin Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up instantly, his face full of anticipation.

"Really."

"Absolutely true."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two brothers did not hesitate any longer. They picked up their guitars at the same time and strummed the strings with all their might.

Two violent sonic booms exploded simultaneously, and several sharp battle axes materialized in mid-air, slashing towards Arya with a whooshing sound.

Despite the onslaught, Arya remained calm, continuing to pluck the strings of her violin.

A gentle yet highly controlled melody entered the giant rhinoceros's ears.

It immediately understood the command, exerted force with its strong limbs, and its huge body suddenly rushed out.

Its heavy body charged wildly, smashing all the battle axes that had gathered in mid-air to pieces without leaving even a ripple.

Lin Daqiang's eyes darkened, and he immediately adjusted his tactics, quickly giving instructions to his younger brother.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king; you go and hold off this giant rhinoceros!"

"And what about you, brother?" Lin Xiaoqiang asked quickly.

"Brother, suffer a little loss to deal with its master!"

"Okay, brother, be careful."

The two brothers immediately separated and launched an attack from two different directions.

Lin Xiaoqiang changed direction and took the initiative to draw the giant rhinoceros's attention, leading the monster to the side of the battlefield.

Lin Daqiang seized the opportunity, gathered all his musical magic, and launched a strong attack on Aria.

Amidst the surging, dark music, the phantom of a cavalryman clad in black armor materialized, wielding a long spear, and charged swiftly towards Arya.

Arya doesn't have much practical combat experience and doesn't like brute force battles.

She immediately mobilized the sonic magic within her body, erecting a thick magical shield in front of her for a safe defense.

She knew very well that all she needed to do was delay the enemy's offensive.

Once the giant rhinoceros has dealt with the entanglement with Lin Xiaoqiang, Lin Daqiang, all alone, will be unable to cause any trouble.

A thick magical shield stood firmly in front of him, and the black-armored cavalry's several charges failed to break through the defense.

On the other side of the battlefield, Lin Xiaoqiang continuously unleashed sonic attacks to harass the giant rhinoceros.

However, all the attacks landed on the giant rhinoceros and had no effect whatsoever.

The giant rhinoceros has thick hide and high defense, completely ignoring his attacks and only charging recklessly.

After a long and drawn-out battle, Lin Xiaoqiang's stamina was rapidly depleted, and his breathing became increasingly erratic.

In a moment of lapse in dodge, the giant rhinoceros seized the opportunity and rammed its massive head into the ground.

The enormous impact sent Lin Xiaoqiang flying, his body slamming heavily against a tree trunk behind him.

He struggled twice but couldn't get up. He closed his eyes and fainted.

Having dealt with its entangled opponent, the giant rhinoceros didn't linger and turned to dash towards Lin Daqiang on the main battlefield.

"Xiao Qiang!"

Lin Daqiang caught a glimpse of his brother lying unconscious on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and his mind went blank for a moment, his clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.

On one side is a giant monster closing in, and on the other is her younger brother whose fate is unknown.

In a mere second of deliberation, he made his decision, decisively abandoning all resistance and turning to rush towards the bushes to the side.

"Xiaoqiang, wait for me!"

"Suffering a loss is a blessing! Big brother, if you break through first, you'll definitely bring your spot into the finals."

He was so focused on fleeing in panic that he didn't pay any attention to the road conditions.

He took a hasty step forward, tripped hard on a protruding old tree root, and fell face-first into the dirt.

He propped himself up on the ground, spat out a mouthful of dirt in frustration, and felt utterly miserable.

In that brief moment of delay, the heavy rhinoceros had already rushed in front of him.

Its thick, heavy hooves were raised high, aimed at his head, ready to stomp down at any moment.

The oppressive feeling of death instantly enveloped his entire body, and Lin Daqiang was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He immediately shouted loudly.

"I surrender! I admit defeat!"

The moment the words were spoken, the giant hoof that was about to fall suddenly stopped in mid-air and slowly landed and retreated.

After collecting Lin Xiaoqiang's badge, Aria slowly walked up to the still-shaken Lin Daqiang.

Lin Daqiang finally faced reality and dared not harbor any more illusions.

He obediently took off the badge on his chest, then took out all the badges he had just acquired from his pocket and handed them all to Arya.

His eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness, yet he dared not utter the slightest resistance.

Arya took all the badges and spoke softly to comfort her.

"Your brother just fainted; he's not in any danger, so don't worry."

From the start to the end of the battle, she maintained complete control over the giant rhinoceros's strength.

Their sole aim was to defeat their opponents and claim the badge; they never intended to seriously injure or harm any participant.

After accepting the six badges from the twin brothers, plus the ten badges he had obtained from the previous ten-person melee, and his own two badges, he was able to collect them.

Chu Ge and Aria now possess a total of eighteen Sound Badges.

After resolving this battle, the two did not linger, but continued to explore the mountain forest arena.

Arya's ability to manipulate sounds is almost unbeatable in the arena.

With her superb violin playing skills, her control over the magic of music far surpasses that of ordinary contestants.

Whenever she encounters an opponent with four or fewer players, she can reliably secure victory with the help of the Giant Rhino.

If she encounters a team battle with four or more people, she will immediately take Chu Ge and hide to observe.

Quietly wait for the opponent to fight to the death and exhaust their strength, then seize the opportunity to strike and reap the rewards.

One after another, the badges of sound fell into the two's pockets.

With only ten minutes left in the countdown, Arya encountered the toughest opponent of the entire match.

That was a contestant with red talent, possessing formidable combat strength, and who had also tamed a late-stage B-rank wild boar monster.

Once the battle began, the boar, with its superior level, dominated the rhinoceros throughout the entire match.

The giant rhinoceros was forced into retreat, gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, and was on the verge of complete defeat.

Just when the opponent thought victory was in their grasp and they were about to win the battle.

Arya replicated her previous tactics once again.

The gentle, lingering violin melody quietly unfolded, gradually permeating the mind of the wild boar monster.

With her powerful ability to bewitch through music, she forcefully reversed control of the demon beasts.

The wild boar, which had been suppressing the giant rhinoceros, suddenly turned against it and attacked its own master.

The red-talented player was defeated in a one-against-three battle, with all the badges being collected by Aria.

After this battle, there were no more opponents in the entire Monster Forest arena who could rival the two of them.

The remaining few participants in the arena, knowing the vast difference in their combat strength, dared not provoke them at all.

They all chose to hide in the corners of the mountains and forests, unwilling to face the two directly, not wanting them to win too easily.

The one-hour match gradually came to an end, and the entire mountain forest arena battle came to a complete close.

The event system will ultimately tally the number of badges.

Chu Ge and Aria together earned a total of seventy-eight Sound Badges.

With the largest number of players, they secured the victory without any doubt and successfully advanced to the next round.

The fog over the stadium completely dissipated after the match ended, and warm sunlight pierced through the gaps in the branches and leaves, bathing the entire mountain forest.

The two walked out of the monster forest side by side, bathed in the bright sunlight.

Chu Ge turned his head to look at Aria, who looked relaxed beside him, and felt a surge of emotion.

She watched the entire match from the sidelines without ever participating in the fight.

They won the entire game thanks to Arya's calm planning and superior combat power, truly getting a great deal.

The moment she stepped off the field, Arya raised her hand and released the sonic spells from the giant rhinoceros and the wild boar.

She thanked the two demonic beasts softly, watching them turn and run into the deep mountains and forests, returning to their own habitat.

As soon as the two stepped out of the arena fence, Clara, who was waiting outside, rushed up and hugged Arya tightly, her face and eyes full of admiration and surprise.

"Arya, you're amazing! Controlling both a rhinoceros and a boar in battle at the same time is so cool!"

Being praised in public like this, Arya's fair cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not that amazing, I just got lucky."

Clara looked at her shy appearance and her heart stirred with a desire to tease her.

She blinked and spoke as if to be serious.

"Arya, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?" Aria looked up in confusion.

"Please, control me tightly."

Control you?

Arya was stunned; this was the first time she had ever heard such a strange request.

She paused for a few seconds, then quickly shook her head slightly, her tone reserved.

"Maybe we shouldn't...it's not appropriate."

"I can do anything!!!"

"No way!"

Seeing the girl's innocent and embarrassed appearance, Clara could no longer hold back her laughter and burst out laughing.

"Haha, I was just kidding."

She took Arya's hand, her eyes full of expectation.

"The competition ended early today, and I've already planned some fun activities."

"Relax and celebrate your advancement to the finals! Have a blast today!"

……

In the city of pianos, at the Wei family manor, inside the tranquil study.

The lights inside flickered, casting a warm yellow glow throughout the study.

Wei Lin sat upright at the table, holding yarn in his hand, slowly knitting a red scarf.

The scarf has been knitted for quite a while now, and it will be completely finished soon.

dong dong dong.

A knock came at the door.

"Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and a figure slowly walked into the study and stood in front of the desk.

Wei Lin didn't even raise his head, his needles still moving methodically as he knitted, and asked a question in a calm voice.

"Lian'er, I have something to discuss with your father."

William: "Father, I would like to ask you to take action and eliminate Alice beforehand."

Wei Lin paused slightly in his weaving, then looked up at the young man beside him.

"Have you thought it through?"

"I've thought it through perfectly." William said without the slightest hesitation.

He watched the entire live broadcast of Chu Ge's mountain forest race today.

On the surface, Arya was the one who stole the show throughout the entire match.

Chu Ge stood by and watched the whole thing, showing no fighting power whatsoever, and just coasted through to victory.

But William understands better than anyone the cruelty of competition on the field, and he also knows better how formidable his opponents are.

Opponents who display their strength on the field are not so scary.

What's truly frightening is someone who remains calm and collected throughout the entire process, observing everything with detachment.

He appears to be powerless in combat, but in reality, he is extremely cunning and his trump cards are unpredictable.

The threat posed by this opponent far outweighs that of any high-profile or flamboyant contestant.

Even William, who always prided himself on his top talent and outstanding strength, was shocked after watching the entire live broadcast.

He also developed a strong sense of crisis towards Chu Ge from the bottom of his heart.

In order to secure the overall championship of this Music God Grand Ceremony, he had no choice but to use his family's resources and employ such underhanded methods to eliminate potential threats in advance.

Wei Lin remained silent for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, before slowly nodding.

"Since you have made up your mind, your father will grant your wish."

"Just focus on preparing for the finals and concentrate on bringing glory to your family."

"I guarantee that after tonight, she will not live to see the sun rise tomorrow."

"Alright, then I'll wait for Father's triumphant return."
