and the Level 1 Lower-tier Shadow Cat collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind it, Tang Qi’s slender figure, dagger in hand, slowly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a purple-black cat-shaped energy veil over her body, with a pair of cat ears atop her head—uncontrolled, yet strikingly agile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enhanced-type B-rank ability: Shadow Cat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During activation, it greatly boosts her sprint speed, reaction speed, and attack power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely this B-rank ability that allowed her, merely an Awakened, to slay a Level 1 Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she herself had trained in the Ability Cultivation Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still some distance from transforming into a full Ability User, her physical foundation was solid—she was far from weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, slaying a Level 1 Lower-tier Beast was already the limit of her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she dared only to roam the central zone, never venturing into the core zone where Level 1 Mid-tier Beasts dwelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To conserve her ability, Tang Qi immediately exited Shadow Cat form after killing the Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cat-shaped energy veil around her body vanished, and her vertical feline pupils reverted to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“#12, Tang Qi, 567 points (Jiangcheng No.1 High School).”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening her smartwatch and seeing her rank, Tang Qi furrowed her brows: “I dropped one spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively looked upward, wondering who had pushed her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her surprise, she saw a familiar name at #9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming from No.2 High, 607 points, #9?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qi froze for a moment, then regained her composure, a tall figure bearing a long spear flashing in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it was you who made that strike yesterday, Cousin Jingming...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t dismissed the possibility that the name on the list was merely a coincidence—same name, different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But both were at No.2 High, and the names matched exactly—how could such luck exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that the suspicion she’d felt yesterday at Thunder Martial Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It confirmed beyond doubt: the Xu Jingming on the list was her cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how could you, with only an E-rank ability, accomplish all this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of curiosity crossed Tang Qi’s lovely face. “Looks like my cousin isn’t as innocent as he seems...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, is Ah Ming that strong?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should’ve called him Dad and clung to his leg from the start!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the ruins town, Liu Jie—enlarged to twice his normal size—stared at the virtual projection showing Xu Jingming’s rank, filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his Wu Ke exam results, calling him Dad meant nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming made the top ten!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s now our No.2 High’s highest-ranked student!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingyuan’s squad, ever since spotting Xu Jingming at #46, had kept close watch on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he’d entered the top ten, they all sighed in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the hell did he do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Xu Jingming made the top ten, we’ve got to push harder—aim for the top 300!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the rankings, Lin Qingyuan’s face was filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t know how he did it, she and her team were different from Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just making the top 300 would be more than enough...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Jingming’s rank hadn’t reached the top ten, it wasn’t particularly noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he’d entered the top ten, nearly everyone in the exam zone noticed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who knew him reacted in various ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he remained unaware—right now, he was sprinting full speed toward the core zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his physique strengthened, Xu Jingming’s sprinting speed had increased dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to that, his position in the central zone wasn’t far from the core zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in just over thirty minutes, he stepped into the core zone marked on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core zone of the ruins town was once the most bustling downtown area of Weiyuan Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the central zone, the buildings here were taller; even in their ruined state, traces of past elegance remained visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the Beasts here ranged from Level 1 Lower-tier to Level 1 Mid-tier—no unranked Beasts remained!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any candidate daring to enter the core zone was at least among Jiangcheng’s top five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was the exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his journey, he hadn’t actively sought out Beasts, resulting in only four or five kills in over thirty minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His rank dropped instead of rising—down to #10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can find a large group of Beasts, my rank will climb fast again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, I’m going straight for #1!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s gaze sharpened. As before, he headed straight for the area with the most intense Beast roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Howl—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ruined city, Beast roars rose and fell—a true paradise for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming listened carefully, then sprinted toward the southeast—the source of the loudest, densest roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most candidates moved cautiously within the exam zone, fearing noise would attract Beasts and lead to being surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jingming moved like a sleek cheetah, racing through the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 50-kilogram Black Glow Spear strapped to his back hindered his movement not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sprinting along the ruined road, wind howled past his ears, scenery blurring on either side—he could faintly spot one or two Beasts active among the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these scattered Beasts, he had no desire to even strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the source of the dense roars drew near—a rusted, broken-down bus blocked the road ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xu Jingming didn’t slow. Just before colliding, he pushed off hard, leaping five to six meters into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His combat boots landed on the bus roof; his gaze swept downward, revealing the scene below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a fitness square, littered with broken exercise equipment and inhabited by numerous Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many Beasts filled the air with blood and the pungent stench of beasts, making Xu Jingming frown slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One, two, three... There are ten Beasts here—all Armblade Tigers. Looks like I’ve stumbled upon an Armblade Tiger pack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beasts were divided into solitary and pack types; Armblade Tigers were pack dwellers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary candidates avoided such packs entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jingming’s cold, clear black-and-white eyes burned with fierce battle lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly what he wanted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To form a true pack, there must be a king to dominate them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming looked toward the center of the square, where a half-eaten, blood-drenched Unicorn Rhino corpse lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside it crouched a much larger Armblade Tiger—the pack king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its limbs were massively thick; its forelimb blades were enormous and razor-sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level 1 Mid-tier Armblade Tiger. So it’s the king of this pack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s lips curled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing all these Beasts would grant him plenty of Ability Points.\u003C\u002Fp>",1101,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","20971274ed9ffbb619e6fbf1f0a62ce20479b79ea68c4da313ac88ae8b462bee","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-17","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-15",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
