Wuxie turned, his eyes widening in surprise as he found himself face to face with Zhang, a skilled student known throughout the academy for his formidable martial arts abilities. Zhang stood tall and confident, his dark hair tousled from a recent training session, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
Wuxie's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of curiosity sparking within him. "Oh? And what brings you over here, Zhang?" he asked, his voice laced with friendly challenge.
Zhang's smirk widened as he sauntered closer, his movements fluid and graceful. "Just thought I'd see if the rumors were true." he continued, his tone laced with a playful challenge. "Word on the street is you've made quite the leap in rank. Impressive. so I figured we could have a friendly little duel," he replied, his tone casual but the challenge in his eyes unmistakable.
