Tang Jingyan pointed toward the painting of the immortal mountains.
"The Dao of Painting judges the painting, not the painter's circumstances. If a blind woman can create a work that surpasses all others present, then that is a testament to her talent and attainment."
Many people in the crowd nodded in agreement.
Even some of those who had voiced objections earlier found themselves unable to refute his reasoning.
Tang Jingyan raised her voice, ensuring that every person in the venue could hear her clearly.
"Therefore, after the unanimous judgment of the panel and according to the rules of the competition, I hereby declare..."
A brief pause followed. Everyone held their breath.
"The winner of this Dao of Painting Competition is Miss Rong Xian!"
The announcement echoed throughout the arena.
For a moment, there was complete silence.
Then thunderous applause erupted from every direction as everyone stood in praise.
