His aura doesn’t even feel like an ability user’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet he kills first-rank ferocious beasts as easily as chopping vegetables.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently cursed a few times, then continued on his path of slaying ferocious beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t match Xu Jingming’s power, but he’d still hold onto second place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he moved through the core zone, searching for ferocious beasts he could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first two hours, things were fine—he occasionally encountered lone mid-rank first-tier ferocious beasts, or small groups of three or four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by the third hour, Zhou Mingyang clearly felt the number of ferocious beasts on the path had dropped sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the fourth hour, after circling the core zone for ages, he still hadn’t spotted a single ferocious beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Where did all the ferocious beasts go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang was stunned, and kicked a fist-sized chunk of rubble by the roadside in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an ability user, his strength was far from insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone shot off violently, slamming into a rusted metal billboard with a thunderous crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he would never have made such a move—it would attract ferocious beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he actually hoped some ferocious beast would come because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No ferocious beasts came—but several humans did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a group of three: two men and one woman, walking toward him and waving from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Mingyang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’d you end up here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang stared at the three who had approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like him, they were all students from the Rocket Class of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, first-rank low-tier ability users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew each other—old acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from him, these three held the other three spots in the Wu Ke rankings within the top five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll have to ask Xu Jingming about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald boy on the far right shrugged helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming wiped out all the ferocious beasts in the core zone. We couldn’t find any, so we just banded together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the middle added softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was petite, yet carried a massive sword on her back, creating a stark contrast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been wandering around here for over half an hour. When we heard that noise, we thought it was a ferocious beast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We rushed over excitedly, only to find it was you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-haired boy on the left shook his head and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming killed all the ferocious beasts? Impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang frowned, instinctively refusing to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, to prepare for the Wu Ke exam, the core zone had been stocked with at least three or four hundred ferocious beasts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way anyone could kill them all in just a few hours!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clearly, you haven’t checked the rankings in a while. Here, take a look at Xu Jingming’s score yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald boy opened his smartwatch; with a soft hum, the ranking interface projected into midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘#1: Xu Jingming, 3435 points (Jiangcheng No. 2 High School)’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘#2: Zhou Mingyang, 1103 points (Jiangcheng No. 1 High School)’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘#3: Wu Hao, 945 points (Jiangcheng No. 1 High School)’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘......’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th... three thousand four hundred points?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at Xu Jingming’s terrifying score, the usually composed Zhou Mingyang nearly popped his eyeballs out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now do you understand why we say Xu Jingming wiped out all the ferocious beasts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald boy sighed and shut off the virtual projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Killing a first-rank low-tier ferocious beast grants 14 to 16 points. A first-rank mid-tier one gives 20 to 22 points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“3435 points—even subtracting the 700+ he earned in the central zone—still leaves over 2500.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means Xu Jingming alone killed nearly two hundred ferocious beasts in the core zone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve killed quite a few too. Combined, we’ve cleared the entire core zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explanation left Zhou Mingyang stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the exam, he’d only thought about killing as many ferocious beasts as possible to earn higher scores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never once considered the possibility that the ferocious beasts could be completely wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! No wonder Xu Jingming was so scared of someone stealing his kills back then—he already saw this coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling his earlier conversation with Xu Jingming, Zhou Mingyang felt ten thousand llamas stampeding through his chest...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“3435 points! That score is insane! Xu Jingming is guaranteed top ten in Jiangnan Province!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top ten! Top ten! When did Jiangcheng ever produce a result like this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He broke the record! Xu Jingming shattered Jiangcheng’s record!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Zhou Mingyang inside the exam zone was stunned by Xu Jingming’s score, the school principals and teachers outside were overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was the best result Jiangcheng had ever produced in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never imagined Xu Jingming could achieve this just with that spear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yao, principal of No. 2 High, felt his whole body flush with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did top ten in Jiangnan Province mean? It meant elite schools nationwide would fight over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A rare talent emerges from the fields—and now Jiangcheng has a student like Xu Jingming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenshan, director of the Education Bureau, grinned broadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he no longer cared that Xu Jingming’s ability was only E-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such results, even an F-rank ability user would be fought over by schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Xu Jingming is truly insane—in just three or four hours, he nearly wiped out every ferocious beast in the core zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like he’s going to be a battle fanatic from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang and the others didn’t know how many ferocious beasts were deployed in the core zone—but Zhang Wenshan, as director of the Education Bureau, certainly did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core zone had been stocked with 450 first-rank low-tier ferocious beasts and 40 first-rank mid-tier ones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subtracting those killed by infighting among the beasts and the few taken by Zhou Mingyang and the others,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming alone had slain nearly half of all ferocious beasts in the core zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this had happened in just three or four hours—further proving the terrifying extent of Xu Jingming’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming’s parents both died in a ferocious beast surge when he was young. Maybe that’s why he hates them so much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His homeroom teacher, Chen Fan, added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenshan nodded slowly, his expression turning cold. “Hmph! One day, humanity will wipe out every ferocious beast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—it will happen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the ferocious beasts’ brutality, Principal Zhao Yao added coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1084,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","33611df5711b8fdb84d2dc449348f9eed97767f83fa528b63738f1e9e0cbc86d","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-21","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-19",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
