Within the bell tower, everyone seemed rather uneasy, casting glances around with a sense of silent apprehension.
Yang Zhen nonchalantly surveyed his surroundings, asking Xue Zonglin next to him, "What exactly is this monthly competition about, and how are the rankings decided?"
Xue Zonglin seemed taken aback, he looked around and whispered, "The monthly competition isn't constrained to specific works. As long as the piece can condense culture, it can be presented. The judging process is unknown, it's all subject to Su Dajia."
"Subject to one person's opinion?" Yang Zhen asked in surprise, "Isn't that unfair?"
As Xue Zonglin was about to respond, Yan Hua, standing by their side, interjected with a smile, "The path of talent isn't like exam scoring. Ability to provoke talent, and how much talent can be aggregated is apparent at first glance. Only extremely unique pieces may pose a challenge in judging."
