Runar stepped out of the pavilion, leaving Celestia to continue cultivating inside. A clone of Supreme Eternal Scholar stood waiting a short distance away, calm and scholarly in appearance.
Runar did not recognize the man, but the moment his Myriad Genesis Eye swept over him, he instantly understood. This was no ordinary expert. The profound aura, the way reality itself seemed to bend slightly around him — this was a Supreme.
Runar bowed respectfully. "Hello, Supreme One."
The Supreme clone's eyes flickered with clear surprise. He had not expected the boy to identify his status so easily and accurately. Most cultivators at Runar's level would have sensed something powerful and kept their guard up, unsure of what they were dealing with. This one had simply looked, understood, and responded with perfect composure. He quickly composed himself and returned a slight nod.
