Alright, Fu Bo, I’ll head out then. Let the teacher know when he comes out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was still over a month before entering the Thunder Secret Realm, Xu Jingming wasn’t in a hurry to ask now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bid farewell to butler Fu Bo and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhong Dan hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Jingming, have you joined a club? If not, consider joining the one I started recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Zhong Dan asked enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xu Jingming could respond, he immediately began envisioning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the two of us together,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>our Blue Club will surely punch Ash to dust and kick Meteor to oblivion, becoming the peak club of our Devil University!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blue Club? That’s a good name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow, then shook his head. “Too bad, I’ve already joined Meteor Club.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? How much did Meteor Club offer you? I’ll double it!” Zhong Dan declared solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One hundred academic credits per semester, plus one B-class resource.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, sorry to bother you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan shrank back, quickly deflating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d only founded the club on a whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his third-rank peak strength, he’d indeed attracted many students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as president, he’d learned how hard it was to run a club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he need to lead members into the Wild Zone to hunt monsters, but he also had to distribute benefits irregularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a third-rank peak adept, his own cultivation expenses were already high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He obviously couldn’t spare so many academic credits and cultivation resources to recruit Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he didn’t believe his Blue Club could rival the appeal of Meteor Club, a peak organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Dan’s mind turned quickly—he thought for a moment and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then can you join us on our next Wild Zone expedition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure. Two hundred academic credits per time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the research trip had ended and his student account now had over ten thousand additional credits,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no one ever had too many credits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two hundred credits? That much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, you thought you could get it for free?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With our friendship, talking about credits hurts feelings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Dan leaned in warmly, trying to put his arm around Xu Jingming’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Dan was only about 1.75 meters tall—he couldn’t reach Xu Jingming’s 1.89-meter frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a failed attempt, he reluctantly pulled his hand back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friendship? What friendship do we have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming was stunned—he hadn’t expected Zhong Dan to be this bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, just joking, just joking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the fork in the road, Zhong Dan cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’ll remember—two hundred credits per time. When I really need you, I’ll come find you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and walked off confidently in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his retreating figure, Xu Jingming suddenly wondered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was two hundred credits per time too low?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk. I should’ve asked for three hundred.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, not overly concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Zhong Dan’s habit of trying to get things for free, even two hundred credits would probably be too much for him to pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Jingming returned to Dorm 32 in Zone 3,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao, who had arrived earlier, was already snacking and drinking on the first floor of the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay comfortably on the sofa, watching a video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the holographic screen, a female adept with a whip and a voluptuous figure darted through a swarm of monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each swing of her whip unleashed a storm of blood and gore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this being a film that in his past life would have been strictly restricted, Liu Wentao watched it with great enjoyment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me some too,” Xu Jingming said, sitting beside Liu Wentao and sinking into a relaxed “Ge You lie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao was startled and quickly handed over his snacks: “Aren’t you going up to the training room?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After finishing the research trip, I need to rest too, don’t I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smiled, took a potato chip from the bag, and bit into it with a crisp crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mm—cucumber flavor, refreshingly light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really should rest, but it’s rare to see you this relaxed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liu Wentao suddenly understood and imitated Xu Jingming, leaning back on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, this posture was kind of comfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, over two hours passed quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Liu Wentao thought he’d spend this comfortable, leisurely afternoon lounging with Brother Ming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming rose from the sofa: “Wentao, I’m heading up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you going to keep lying down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve rested enough. Time to train.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve rested enough already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xu Jingming ascend to the second floor, Liu Wentao was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So your idea of “good rest” is just lying down for two hours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re too easily satisfied...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Meteor Club’s cultivation experience exchange meeting began at 6:30 p.m. the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 6:00 p.m. the next day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as Xu Jingming prepared to leave the training room on the villa’s second floor for Building 2,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he unexpectedly received a call from Vice Principal Ling Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingming, the people from Jing University have arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original manuscript of the S-class top-tier combat technique, ‘Lei Shen Finger,’ has been delivered as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to the Combat Technique Library to pick it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice Principal Ling Shuang’s clear, melodious voice came through the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Combat Technique Library was over twenty minutes away from the dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even running, it would take seven or eight minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went now, he’d miss the Meteor Club’s cultivation exchange meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xu Jingming knew which was more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to say he’d come right away, Ling Shuang’s voice came again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have another commitment? Never mind—I’ll come pick you up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, a soft hum sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair above the training room, space split open, forming a spatial gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang’s slender, graceful figure stepped out from the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore the same classical attire as yesterday, only changed from pale black to bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her black hair fell loosely behind her, revealing a hint of her fair neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her delicate features, paired with a tear mole at the corner of her eye, gave her cold, elegant beauty profound depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bare, jade-like feet hovering midair were translucent and smooth as sheep-fat jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight made Xu Jingming blink twice, silently marveling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice Principal Ling Shuang never seemed to like wearing shoes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go. I’ll take you there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang descended from midair, seized Xu Jingming’s shoulder, and stepped once more into the space gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xu Jingming could fully savor the sensation of spatial transit, his consciousness grew hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he regained his senses, he was already inside the Combat Technique Library—a room steeped in ancient charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room held four seats; one was occupied by a middle-aged man dressed in a Tang-style robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Chen, this is Xu Jingming, the S-rank student from Mo University. Jingming, this is Teacher Chen from Jing University.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ling Shuang made the introductions, Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Teacher Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Chen from Jing University carried a much weaker aura than Teacher Yang Zhentian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he was still stronger than the university’s sixth-rank instructors—likely a seventh-rank Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Student Xu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin gave a slight nod, though inwardly he was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Mo University valued its S-rank students, but he hadn’t expected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That even the vice president, an eighth-rank Grandmaster, would personally come to fetch him for a library visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang, of course, was unaware of Chen Lin’s misconception; she merely whispered to Xu Jingming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Chen is a seventh-rank lower-tier Grandmaster who also wields a Thunder affinity and has mastered the ‘Lei Shen Finger’ technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Chen will stay here for about half a month. During this time, you must learn from him and ask him questions diligently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, Jing University’s approach was quite considerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did they send a secret manual, but they even arranged a dedicated instructor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he didn’t need an instructor—he could just spend points directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he had to maintain appearances:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Chen, I’m sorry for the trouble over the next half month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. I once trained in the same guild as your teacher, Yang Zhentian, back when we were young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This visit was meant not just to deliver the combat technique manual, but also to see an old friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn’t believe Xu Jingming could master this S-rank top-tier technique in half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when he himself was a sixth-rank adept, it had taken him over three months to learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Xu Jingming could learn it was one matter; whether he would teach it was another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His presence here alone signaled Jing University’s high regard for Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>",1570,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8226762c1682c801f8c86eaafeab48fac8b9a59e93f768a4c2308cf2d1c4d83f","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-159","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-157",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
