With that, Liu Yi strode forward. With his hands behind his back, he said in an old-fashioned manner, “Our first match is chess. I’ll compete.”

Yi Junkun took out the chess pieces and placed them on the high platform.

Dongyi Academy had no objections and let Liu Yi choose his opponent.

Liu Yi looked at the students and finally pointed to the last one. “Him.”

The teacher had said that chess players had to be calm and patient. They had to slowly figure out the strategy for the game. Otherwise, they would lose everything if they made a single mistake. Hence, after looking around, Liu Yi chose the person who looked the most impatient.

That person also walked out of the group and stood on the stage with his hands behind his back.

He and Liu Yi greeted each other and sat on the two sides of the chessboard. One of them held a black piece while the other held a white piece. The person who acted as the referee was the overseer.

When it came to chess, winning was winning. The main role of the referee was to prevent people from regretting their moves or spending too much time.

However, they were all self-proclaimed scholars here, so they naturally did a good job on the surface. They would not regret their moves or go back on their word.

Liu Yi was mentally prepared, but he did not expect the other party to admit defeat within half an hour.

“I really don’t have much talent in chess. I’m destined to lose, so I won’t waste everyone’s time. Let’s move on to the next game.”

He was straightforward and generous, admitting defeat readily.

On the contrary, many people felt that this person had the bearing to lose.

Liu Yi looked at the chessboard and felt like he was holding back his anger. He couldn’t even spit it out.

This person’s chess skills were indeed average, but he could clearly last for a period of time.

However, if they continued to play, Dongyi Academy would only lose even more miserably. It might even highlight Liu Yi’s superb chess skills at such a young age.

How could Teacher Wei allow them to step on his students’ weaknesses to improve their reputation? Therefore, he decided to surrender halfway. After all, the second round was the focus of his preparations.

Upstairs, Liu Wei frowned. “The other party did it on purpose, right? Our little old man looks very unhappy.”

Gu Yundong lowered her eyes. It seemed that they were not only going to humiliate the losers, but also the winners. This scholar’s scheming made people feel inferior.

Downstairs, Madam Ge also frowned. “You really don’t need to go over?”

Qin Wenzheng shook his head. “No need. Liu Yi will be able to adjust himself soon.”

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yi pursed his lips and solemnly walked to Gu Yunshu’s side. “Next, it’s up to you. Remember, if the other party is too strong and chooses your weakness, then you should be like that person just now and admit defeat quickly.”

In any case, Yunshu was the youngest. No one would laugh at him.

However, the effect might not be too good after copying Dongyi Academy’s method. Everyone might even find it boring.

No one wanted to see someone admit defeat so early. The first round was fine, but if the second round was still like this, they would be criticized.

Gu Yunshu clenched his fists. “I won’t admit defeat.” At most, he would scold the other party until they fainted. He would learn from Eldest Sister.

As expected, a student from Dongyi Academy chose Gu Yunshu as his opponent.

There was even a malicious smile on his face as he looked at him provocatively.

Yunshu walked up the stage calmly. The other party was taller than him. He puffed up his cheeks and was a little angry.

When he looked up, his neck was tired, so he decided to keep his eyes lowered. Hence, the other party’s provocative gaze was ignored by him..
