The last Jade Carver Master finished his carving, and as he put down his knife, dozens of judges stood up one after another. They walked onto the stage to start critiquing the first piece.
When they reached Meng Zixuan, the judges' gaze clearly changed.
Meng Zixuan's piece was a mighty and robust auspicious beast carved from the inherent shape of the jade. It was imposing and lively, full-bodied, ingeniously conceived, smooth in line, meticulous in technique, and naturally ordered.
Some judges praised Meng Zixuan, "He's a rare genius. This sort of skill isn't something ordinary people can have. Very good, he definitely has potential for greatness in the future."
Meng Zixuan nodded in modest gratitude, but when he turned around, he shot Yu Jingrong a triumphant glance before casting his eyes over the work in front of her.
According to the competition rules, pieces must be covered with cloth after completion and before the judges review.
