During this study trip, Jingming had some extraordinary encounters and greatly strengthened his physical body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Bo’s heart tightened—he hadn’t noticed this at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior, since the dean told me to go all out, I won’t hold back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, please do as you wish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was a test of physical strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two men standing in the center of the training room used no weapons—just bare fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the right, Xu Jingming stood tall, expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the left, Zhong Dan swiftly activated his ability, his body swelling by a full circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray-white wolf fur sprouted across his exposed skin, and his eyes became as sharp as a lone wolf’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enhancement-type beast ability—Azure-Eyed Gray Wolf!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here it comes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan growled and launched the first attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Dean Yang had told him to go all out, the opponent was still Dean Yang’s favorite disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was S-rank—recently, rumors said he’d even caught the attention of the Grand Master Vice Principal who controlled space-type abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he got hurt? That would be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Zhong Dan instinctively held back several tenths of his punch’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This much force shouldn’t be enough to injure him, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan silently praised his own cleverness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, to test his physical strength, Xu Jingming didn’t dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he swung his right fist forward like lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their fists collided, Xu Jingming felt no strong impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he felt it was unexpectedly weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Zhong Dan felt a torrent of overwhelming force and searing pain surge through his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face changed instantly; his body instinctively staggered back three or four steps to dissipate the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such formidable power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan exclaimed in shock, instinctively glancing at Xu Jingming across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xu Jingming said nothing, Zhong Dan clearly saw a flicker of confusion in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if wondering why his punch had been so weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! Is it my power that’s weak? It’s YOURS that’s too strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading the emotion behind that glance, Zhong Dan felt ten thousand grassy horses gallop through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m peak third-rank! And I activated my A-rank enhancement ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I held back a bit, this punch should’ve crushed him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I underestimated you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaken, Zhong Dan took a deep breath, focused his mind, and stopped holding back entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged forward toward Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fists collided again—this time, the power was evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that’s more like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s lips curled slightly upward as he pressed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Grandmaster-level spear technique, his fist technique had only been upgraded twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was merely intermediate—not very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for this kind of practical training, it was more than enough; the two quickly locked into close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In raw power, they were evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Dan wasn’t a specialist in fist techniques—his fist skill was only beginner level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded inside the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan, peak third-rank and wielding his enhancement ability,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was being dominated by Xu Jingming—who used no ability at all, relying solely on raw physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming’s blood flow rate is 1.3 times Zhong Dan’s—likely due to that unknown Beast King’s blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His neural response speed is about 1.2 times higher; his strength is roughly equal to Zhong Dan’s...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhentian continuously analyzed Xu Jingming’s combat data while recording it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several minutes, once he’d recorded sufficient data, he called out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingming, activate Thunder Extreme State.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder Extreme State? Dean, maybe we don’t need to activate it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan jumped up like a cat stepped on its tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a senior fourth-year at the Weapons Academy, he knew his dean had a special state that enhanced physical strength and abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even now, he was already being dominated by Xu Jingming—what if he activated Thunder Extreme State?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could refuse, he saw Xu Jingming’s blazing golden dragon eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Jingming, can we go easy from now on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan swallowed hard, nearly in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d known it—Dean Yang the Devil had summoned him for trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming offered a friendly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t realize that, in Thunder Extreme State, his aura had become ferocious and violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paired with that smile, it only made Zhong Dan feel an inexplicable bloodthirsty brutality...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhentian, his inspiration surging, went to his study to refine his combat techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan, drenched in sweat, sat on the floor, gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Zhong, thank you for your effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming walked over, smiling, and handed him a second-grade Blood Qi Pill to restore stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Blood Qi Pill was also made by Senior Jiang Chuxuan—its effects were excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan painfully extended his left hand to take the pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not his right? Because after entering Thunder Extreme State, Xu Jingming’s strength had rendered his right hand completely numb...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smashed his right hand into a state of complete numbness...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing the Blood Qi Pill in one gulp, Zhong Dan finally felt a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it—if anyone posts again saying you’re all talk and no substance, I’ll be the first to roast them to death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the study trip ended and the Heavenly Mandate Cult’s surprise attack occurred,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the end of the study trip and the occurrence of the Heavenly Fate Cult’s surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many posts on the official website forum are discussing these two events, with numerous speculations about Xu Jingming’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no video footage available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most posts praise Xu Jingming’s power and predict that Mo University will welcome a new dominant figure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some claim Xu Jingming is overhyped, and that his victories over S-rank Jilan and Dong Sheng of the Heavenly Fate Cult were purely due to luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, Zhong Dan would simply scroll past such posts without giving them much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, having actually fought Xu Jingming, he deeply felt the overwhelming suppression of his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More terrifyingly, Xu Jingming did not use his prized lightning-based ability at all—he relied solely on pure physical dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is unimaginable what a disastrous state he would have been in if Xu Jingming had unleashed his ability...\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","00cf0e1298b416a4860310a81349af785fba7ae835ccb5d15bb868a4182d8441","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-158","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-156",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
