His aura is quite strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s also a peak second-rank adept. Among all the corporate bosses, few have this level of power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True.

I have something to handle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move? Move where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Qingyuan could finish speaking, an overwhelming aura erupted from Xu Jingming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackling—crackling~~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst dense arcs of thunder, dazzling yet dangerous golden lightning swirled around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like ministers rejoicing at the emperor’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lin Qingyuan’s stunned gaze, golden lightning flashed—and Xu Jingming vanished from his spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CEO Leng, long time no see. Why haven’t you been showing up lately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Wu is as sharp as ever. With Master Wu around, no one can threaten you, CEO Leng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Master Wu’s strength is top-tier across all of Jinning City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the exhibition entrance, upon Leng Chang’s arrival, the bosses all rushed over, smiling and exchanging pleasantries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many also greeted Leng Chang’s bodyguard, named ‘Wu Hang.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this wasn’t an ordinary bodyguard—he was a powerful mid-level fourth-rank adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, many had offered high prices to recruit Wu Hang, but all failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been busy with matters at the building lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Chang smiled and greeted several bosses; the atmosphere remained harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet suddenly, a commanding voice exploded across the open-air exhibition:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tianming Cult’s Leng Chang! Surrender now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words ended, Xu Jingming’s towering figure, wreathed in golden Heavenly Thunder, shot forward like lightning and halted just before Leng Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood tall, gripping the two-meter-one-long Qingxiao Black Dragon Spear, his cold, piercing black-and-white eyes fixed on Leng Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the Jinning City Public Security Bureau’s investigation, Blue Sea Tech’s Leng Chang is linked to the Tianming Cult. All bystanders, evacuate immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to Leng Chang’s bodyguard: “Please step aside for investigation. If you choose to continue protecting Leng Chang, you will be treated as a Tianming Cult member.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming was never one to confuse right and wrong. If the bodyguard had no ties to the Tianming Cult, he had no reason to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tianming Cult? Leng Chang is a cultist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell! No way?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Public Security Bureau showed up—how could this be fake?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present was still reeling from the sudden turn of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon hearing the words “Tianming Cult,” several bosses who had been near Leng Chang immediately scrambled back five to six meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was Lin Hai Ma, Lin Qingyuan’s uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, I only know I’m CEO Leng’s personal bodyguard. I don’t know anything about the Tianming Cult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Xu Jingming’s sudden attack, Wu Hang first froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sensing Xu Jingming’s rank aura, his face twisted into a cruel, mocking smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the Public Security Bureau run out of people? Sending only a low-level third-rank kid to investigate my boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, after the state issued the execution order, every province and city had frantically publicized the Tianming Cult’s cult nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, even ordinary citizens now knew about the Tianming Cult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Hang, as a mid-level fourth-rank adept, couldn’t possibly be unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were an open declaration of his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Hang hadn’t bothered to conceal his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning Xu Jingming’s rank, most present weren’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was from the Public Security Bureau—third-rank was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Qingyuan and the others who knew Xu Jingming’s true background were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming wasn’t first-rank—he was third-rank?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are top-tier universities that insane? In less than a semester, they turn adepts into third-rank?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even learning Leng Chang was a cultist didn’t shock them as much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingyuan, stunned, furrowed her delicate brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Xu Jingming was a low-level third-rank, he couldn’t possibly defeat a mid-level fourth-rank bodyguard...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re with the Tianming Cult too. Then I’ll deal with you both.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming, at the front of the exhibition, was unaware of Lin Qingyuan’s thoughts. Seeing the bodyguard reveal his identity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer hesitated. His space ring flickered slightly; a black recorder appeared in his left hand, then was flung into the air:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eva, activate mission recording.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eva received.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recorder in midair shifted form, transforming into a drone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flew through the air, its camera capturing every scene below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans are fundamentally different from ferocious beasts, and even during missions, Xu Jingming cannot kill at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Use this recorder to capture the battle footage; afterward, it can serve as proof of mission completion and demonstrate that all those he killed deserved to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal with me? Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard opposite, Wu Hang, nearly laughed in anger at Xu Jingming’s brazen tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a cold snort, drew a greatsword from his space ring, and immediately activated his C-rank Enhancement ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin flushed crimson, his body swelled outward by a full circle, revealing his formidable physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he tensed his muscular calves and instantly crossed six meters, appearing before Xu Jingming, raising his greatsword high:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die! Blood Tiger Slash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaaoo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson blood aura coiled around the greatsword, accompanied by a deafening roar like a great tiger, as he slashed downward!\u003C\u002Fp>",1380,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1bd47ca6931dfd4235f7eca1fe4550500e0dfd840258ee4f99b6801f23ec4834","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-170","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-168",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
