survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the second-floor living room of the villa,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the sofa, Xu Jingming shook his head after watching the video explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An assassination order is one of the highest-level administrative decrees issued by the state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once issued, all state administrative departments, special agencies, and even official-affiliated squads and guilds must coordinate their actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time the Great Xia State issued an assassination order was over a decade ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That time, a foreign eighth-rank Grand Master had come into the country to cause destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He destroyed a county-level city on Great Xia’s border with a population of tens of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Great Xia’s Martial Saint could react, he escaped beyond Great Xia’s borders and hid in an extremely remote region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also publicly boasted internationally that Great Xia could never catch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the strongest nations on Blue Planet, Great Xia could not tolerate this—on that very day, they issued the assassination order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the next day, he was captured and brought back by an eighth-rank peak Grand Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, this eighth-rank peak Grand Master was not a Great Xia citizen, but a lone-wolf psychic from Europe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alone demonstrates the immense power of an assassination order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Great Xia’s final punishment for this destroyer was also deeply satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a psychic with a special ability\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>forcibly transmute him into a kneeling statue, forcing him to remain kneeling before the cemetery of citizens who died because of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even today, if you visit that cemetery, you can still see the kneeling statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a lone destroyer, the Sect of Heavenly Fate obviously couldn’t be wiped out in just a few days after the assassination order was issued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to Xu Jingming’s estimate, it wouldn’t take more than a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were already wiped out over sixty years ago, yet they still haven’t learned their lesson—coming out again to cause trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, the Sect of Heavenly Fate’s secret techniques are quite extraordinary—they managed to forcibly elevate Dong Sheng from mid-second-rank to peak fourth-rank...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s eyes flickered slightly—if he could obtain this secret technique, his strength would leap to another level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad, the space ring I obtained after killing Dong Sheng was taken by Principal Ling Shuang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, I might have found some clues.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming felt helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That space ring had a small capacity—only one cubic meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d barely glanced at it with his spiritual force when Ling Shuang seized it, claiming it was evidence of a cult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ling Shuang later compensated him with a two-cubic-meter space ring, Xu Jingming still felt Dong Sheng’s was far better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But given Principal Ling Shuang’s nature, if she found anything important, she’d likely inform me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since no news has come, the ring probably contained nothing significant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, Dong Sheng was only nominally the Holy Son—who knows how many Holy Sons the Sect of Heavenly Fate has?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Important scriptures and documents wouldn’t be kept on him anyway...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming didn’t dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Principal Ningsheng and the others had captured a seventh-rank Grand Priest and over a dozen sixth-rank psychics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t bother embezzling a space ring from a Holy Son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that the state has issued the assassination order, Magic University should announce missions related to the Sect of Heavenly Fate in the coming days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before I go hunting the Sect of Heavenly Fate and killing their Divine Blood Envoys, I must first master the Thunder God Finger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint glow shimmered from the space ring, and a pale blue manual appeared in Xu Jingming’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unmistakably the S-rank top-tier combat technique he had received from Professor Chen Lin at Jingda that afternoon—The Thunder God Finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, this thing’s thick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t paid much attention in the afternoon, but now he looked closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat manual was nearly as thick as a Chinese dictionary from his past life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about SS-rank techniques later? Will I need both hands just to hold it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming silently grumbled, then opened the manual and began reading carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had always been an extremely focused person—otherwise, he never would have pursued his doctorate in his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading the manual was no different—he quickly became absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finally came back to himself, it was already midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the villa’s floor-to-ceiling glass windows, darkness reigned, broken only by the glow of streetlights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the living room, under the ceiling lights, it was as bright as day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder it’s a top-tier S-rank technique—extremely complex...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the sofa, Xu Jingming slowly exhaled, closing the manual before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, even with S-rank combat manuals, he could read them several times, grasp the gist, and then directly use the Deep Blue System to allocate points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this top-tier S-rank technique—he had reread it multiple times and still didn’t understand many parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he hadn’t seen the “Thunder God Finger” allocation option on his system panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These unclear parts—I could probably figure them out given a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since Professor Chen is here, there’s no need to go through all this trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow, I’ll go ask him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having planned his study of the technique, Xu Jingming returned the manual to his space ring and went to rest in his bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, he went to the temporary villa where Professor Chen Lin was staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Chen, sorry to disturb you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Chen Lin’s villa was also in the faculty villa district, roughly the same size as a regular tutor’s villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Jingming had already entered the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No disturbance—I’m just waiting here since your teacher is still in seclusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin’s demeanor was very relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t seem like a seventh-rank Grand Master—he resembled a middle-aged office worker Xu Jingming often met in his old neighborhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your teacher hasn’t come out yet?\" Xu Jingming was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The butler said he’s been in the study for nearly two days—looks like he made real progress this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t press further on the topic, but turned to Xu Jingming and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve already read the Thunder God Finger manual, right? Any questions—just ask me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are indeed quite a few things I need to ask you about, Professor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Lin bring it up, Xu Jingming immediately began asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, regarding the passage describing how to communicate with heavenly thunder and blend it with one’s own thunder—how should I understand this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard from other professors you’ve already mastered the S-rank Heavenly Thunder Art. Actually, the part about communicating with heaven is somewhat similar between Thunder God Finger and Heavenly Thunder Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Heavenly Thunder Art merely guides heavenly lightning, while Thunder God Finger requires far greater condensation and more complex shape transformations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can think of it as...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a seventh-rank Grand Master, Chen Lin was naturally erudite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t just explain verbally—he occasionally demonstrated with his psychic ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, Professor Chen. Next question...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, question followed answer, time swiftly passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming grew increasingly familiar with the Thunder God Finger technique, while Chen Lin grew increasingly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had assumed Xu Jingming had merely skimmed the manual—yet his questions grew deeper and deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this really be the result of just one night’s study?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, an astonishing talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin silently marveled inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first learned this technique, it had taken him over ten days to reach Xu Jingming’s current level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The general content of the Thunder God Finger manual is like this. Your comprehension is excellent—you’ve grasped nearly everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But to successfully unleash this technique, you still need constant practice until your spiritual force and psychic energy perfectly synchronize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After over three hours, Chen Lin picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This final stage was the hardest part of learning an S-rank technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone’s psychic energy and spiritual force differed—perfect synchronization could only be achieved through personal effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. Thank you, Professor Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming bowed sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the instruction, all his doubts about the technique manual had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the practice Chen Lin mentioned—he no longer needed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep Blue! Allocate points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming clicked the plus sign on his system panel in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic Points -2800\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder God Finger → Thunder God Finger (Beginner)!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instant he completed the stat allocation, Xu Jingming, as if he had practiced it thousands upon thousands of times, already mastered this extremely difficult S-rank top-tier combat technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chen Lin spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go to the backyard of the villa. Try using Lei Shen Finger—I’ll help you spot where the problem lies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were any other student from a regular school, Chen Lin would not have cared so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jingming was the disciple of his old friend, and moreover, a S-rank of Great Xia—he naturally had to give special attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming, who had just finished allocating stats via the system, blinked his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Problem? What problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve already learned it...\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0c3fcb731de01ee440764708f2fdbadeb3416f926a26ea3d7dca5b1d46965baf","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-161","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-159",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
