Tian Zhao Chess Academy occupied an extensive area, divided into an inner and outer court.
The Listening Chess Pavilion was located between the two courts and served as the place where the academy's elders convened.
At this moment, outside the Listening Chess Pavilion, a crowd bustled.
Word about the incident outside had spread throughout the entire academy, drawing countless disciples to witness the commotion.
"Hey, is that the one who defeated Brother Jing? He looks so young!" someone exclaimed.
Before the words had completely left his mouth, someone nudged him and hissed, "Shush, keep it down! If Great Brother Jing hears you, you're going to be in big trouble."
The speaker immediately clamped his mouth shut, daring not to utter another word.
This reaction was indicative of how formidable Jing Tianrui appeared in the eyes of these junior brothers and sisters.
