Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group was the largest he’d encountered in the past hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his right hand hard against the spear’s butt, and the black-hued spear leapt into his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he raised the spear to charge into the beast pack, he suddenly frowned, halted, and turned his gaze to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood a crumbling, ancient building: “Come out. I’ve spotted you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder you’re number one—your senses are truly sharp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender, good-looking boy with a long sword strapped to his back stepped out from the building’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Mingyang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was none other than Zhou Mingyang, the famed student with a B-grade Wind ability known as Light Wind Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his elegant demeanor outside the Wu Ke exam grounds, Zhou Mingyang now looked worn and dusty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair was disheveled, his battle suit splattered with dark red blood—his own or a beast’s, it was hard to tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, most examinees in the exam grounds looked much the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming himself was no different, though because he used a spear, less blood had splashed onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how did you know it was me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think this famous star student would know who he was, a student from No. 2 High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only a few people dare enter the core zone—we’re all old acquaintances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So when a complete stranger suddenly shows up, it can only be you, the number one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang explained with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Wu Ke exam, examinees are forbidden from attacking each other—any violation results in permanent disqualification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, both of them had tracking drones above their heads, so there was no need to worry about Zhou Mingyang launching a surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming therefore lifted his spear and moved toward the nearby beast pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—are you planning to take on this entire group alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang blinked, quickly reaching out to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You trying to steal my kills?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s gaze turned dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, ferocious beasts meant not just points, but also ability points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t give these beasts to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Xu Jingming’s gaze, Zhou Mingyang felt as if a mighty beast king had locked onto him—goosebumps rose on his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a ferocious aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inwardly gasped, then quickly recovered and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are two first-rank mid-tier ferocious beasts in here—you can’t handle them alone. If we team up, we might have a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were two separate beast groups, each with a first-rank mid-tier king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been hiding nearby, waiting for them to weaken each other before striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, though both sides were wounded, neither had lost a member—they were still in a state of furious rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charging in now would be suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. I can handle it alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Mingyang wasn’t trying to steal kills but offering cooperation, Xu Jingming’s demeanor softened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped Zhou Mingyang on the shoulder, then charged forward with his spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang wanted to say more, but seeing Xu Jingming already charging, he gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Since you’re so confident, let me see what tricks you’ve got!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang drew his sword and stood aside to watch, his eyes fixed on Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything went wrong, he’d join the battle immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what happened next made Zhou Mingyang’s eyes widen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming, charging into the beast pack, moved like a god unchained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His black spear became a blur—every thrust claimed the life of a ferocious beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than three minutes, of the twelve beasts, only four remained!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours ago, he hadn’t even known such a person existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, this man had risen like a comet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he quickly climbed into the top ten, but just over ten minutes ago, he’d directly stolen Zhou Mingyang’s number one spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Zhou Mingyang was deeply curious about this terrifying figure, even imagining what kind of terrifying ability he might possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it some ultra-powerful A-grade ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet all this crushing dominance had been achieved with nothing but that single black spear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly dry: “Could he have some kind of enhancement ability I just didn’t notice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he stood there silently speculating, Xu Jingming swiftly finished his slaughter—the last Arm-Knife Tiger king collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Killed one first-rank low-tier Unicorn Rhinoceros. Ability points +12.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Killed one first-rank low-tier Arm-Knife Tiger. Ability points +10.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Killed one first-rank mid-tier Arm-Knife Tiger. Ability points +15.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the continuous stream of notifications in his mind, Xu Jingming wore a look of pure delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling was simply exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But once the Wu Ke exam ends, there won’t be such good opportunities anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I must seize the time...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming snapped back to reality, nodded to Zhou Mingyang, and quickly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Zhou Mingyang reacted, Xu Jingming had already vanished eight or nine meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted loudly: “Xu Jingming! Do you have an enhancement ability?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. It’s Lightning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s voice echoed from afar—his figure had already vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“L-Lightning?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang was dumbfounded. Where had there been even a trace of Lightning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you didn’t want to tell me your ability type, you didn’t have to be this dismissive—you’re such a rude guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang’s expression was wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that look just now—you thought I was going to steal your kills?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who else but a monster like you could handle a group like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, there are so many ferocious beasts in the core zone—why worry about running out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come to think of it, I’ve been waiting here for over ten minutes—so if anyone’s stealing kills, it’s you stealing mine...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Xu Jingming’s terrible attitude, Zhou Mingyang left still muttering curses under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>",1238,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d777455c136fee0407fa8599eae47548e8c5096e09fd5d37f85f2ceb6087edb8","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-20","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-18",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
