Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We just went to eat and came back—how could his rank change so drastically?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he really from the parallel class? That’s insane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, on the Jiangcheng Wu Ke ranking list, No. 2 High had nine students in the top fifty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the 18th and 22nd places, the highest-ranked student from No. 2 High was Xu Jingming at 25th!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His rank jumped from 32nd to 25th, and his score rose from 328 to 372.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the front row of the audience seating, Principal Zhao Yao squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Class-C psychic with only first-rank cultivation, he could still memorize every ranking on the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid particular attention to the information of No. 2 High’s candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s score and rank changes were crystal clear to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, he found it unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Wu Ke exam scoring rules, killing one peak non-grade beast grants 6 to 8 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing one first-rank lower beast grants 14 to 16 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smartwatch’s kill-count interval is roughly four seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming gained 44 points in one go—that means he killed five peak non-grade beasts, or three first-rank lower beasts, within four seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, this proves Xu Jingming’s formidable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if he doesn’t match the top-tier like Zhou Mingyang, he’s definitely top-ten caliber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did our school produce such a fierce student?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Zhao Yao looked bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Great Xia regulations, all middle school principals and city education bureau directors and deputy directors must be at least first-rank cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Principal Zhao Yao hadn’t seen Xu Jingming’s battle footage, he could deduce Xu Jingming’s approximate strength from the sudden rank shift alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two principals and the education bureau director had also noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal Zhao, it seems your school still has some strong students.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Xu Jingming probably held back earlier—now that he’s unleashed, his rank shot up immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Education Bureau Director Zhang Wenshan nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your student, Principal Zhao, is roughly top-ten caliber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Liu Hang from No. 1 High added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, what ability did your student awaken? Why haven’t we heard of him before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenshan looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A candidate with this level of strength shouldn’t be unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, Xu Jingming only just exploded today during the exam. I need to ask his homeroom teacher for details about him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Chen, come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Director Zhang Wenshan’s question, Zhao Yao directly called over the homeroom teacher, Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, amid the envious glances of No. 2 High’s teachers, Chen Fan sat beside the principal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ordinary homeroom teacher like Chen Fan, the education bureau director and the principals were absolute big shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So under their gazes, his expression naturally grew tense:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal, Director, as far as I know, Xu Jingming awakened only an E-rank ability: [Weak Electricity].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“E-rank ability?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Zhao Yao frowned. “Teacher Chen, are you sure you didn’t misremember?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal, I didn’t misremember—I even warned him before the exam not to take the Wu Ke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, as homeroom teacher, he himself had doubted whether the ability registration years ago had been mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With only an E-rank ability, he’s reached this point—clearly, Xu Jingming has exceptional strengths elsewhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Zhang Wenshan pondered. “Too bad he hasn’t entered the top ten—we still can’t see his battle footage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wu Ke live-stream system runs on a provincial-programmed algorithm; even he couldn’t interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding Xu Jingming among thousands of fixed camera feeds was like searching for a needle in a haystack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—it’s clear his strength will push him into the top ten soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xu Jingming’s case was unusual, as education bureau director, he had patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’ll just have to wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Zhao Yao of No. 2 High nodded, then stopped Chen Fan from returning to his seat. “Also, Teacher Chen, stay right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan’s face lit up—few teachers ever got to sit this close to the director and principals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly; the Wu Ke rankings shifted constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all these rankings, one name kept climbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>25th place, Xu Jingming...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>21st place, Xu Jingming...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>16th place, Xu Jingming...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>12th place, Xu Jingming...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>9th place, Xu Jingming...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than an hour had passed—Xu Jingming had broken into the top ten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming did it! He’s in the top ten!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Homeroom teacher Chen Fan’s face flushed with excitement—he, a mere parallel-class homeroom teacher, had never dreamed one of his students would make Jiangcheng’s top ten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s in the top ten!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Zhao Yao of No. 2 High also exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, being constantly overshadowed by No. 3 High made him look bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now we can finally see how Xu Jingming made the top ten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Education Bureau Director Zhang Wenshan gazed expectantly upward. After a moment, the virtual projection for 9th place flickered into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place appeared the tall, lean figure of a young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a black battle suit, his face resolute, eyes sharp and determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand he held a black spear, two point one meters long, its tip sharp and keen, stained with crimson blood that added a fierce, menacing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his feet lay several dead beasts, lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, another beast cowered, too terrified to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black suit, long spear, dead beasts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All elements combined into a single image—radiating a sharp, overwhelming aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man moved—the spear shot out like a dragon, in a single flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining beast had no time to react—it was pierced clean through by the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1044,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1d51d76c7301cc42a25db8ab89991ee0630d53ef9a099eeac35698165d5f179a","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-15","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-13",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
