Orion's curiosity was piqued, but he remained composed, waiting for the man to speak.

Orion met his gaze steadily. "And who might you be?"
The man smirked. "I am Zhang Wei from the Martial Domain, one of the top five geniuses. I've come to see if the rumours about you are true."
Orion raised an eyebrow. "And what rumours might those be?"
"That you're a prodigy who surpassed the Astral Voidwalker and now hold the title of the number one genius of the Magus Kingdom," Zhang Wei replied. "But looking at you, I find it hard to believe."
