Impressive, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver, Jiang Luo, asked with a cheerful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an electric affinity adept, he had come to the Thundering Abyss once during his third year of university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before him had delivered a tremendous shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s truly impressive, and not at all what I imagined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought the Thundering Abyss would be more primitive, but I never expected it to have developed into a city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, the Thundering Abyss should have been much like the Source Water Wasteland Zone, just with more lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how did you manage to completely conceal such a massive phenomenon behind a single wall?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming couldn’t quite figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianming Church’s Jinning Branch used the latest stealth technology to blend into its surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Thundering Abyss is so vast, involving even the high-altitude clouds—technology alone could hardly achieve such concealment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Decades ago, after the Thundering Martial Arts Hall took over this area,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they hired a high-rank spatial affinity adept to carve this place into an independent space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall we just passed through is essentially a spatial gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary citizens only know this as a special military zone, but inside the wall lies an entirely different world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo drove the off-road vehicle along the road, smiling as he explained, “Actually, that distant storm zone is the true Thundering Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This city area is merely for adepts to rest and live in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that area has been specially treated to contain the thunder within the storm zone, preventing it from leaking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the deafening thunderclaps would make it impossible for anyone here to rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see,” Xu Jingming realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had assumed the lack of thunder was due to distance, not realizing it had been artificially suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, let’s eat first, then I’ll take you to your lodging.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The off-road vehicle stopped in front of a restaurant named “Qu Xiang Restaurant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to Qu Xiang Restaurant. How many guests, sir?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the lightning emblem on the vehicle, the receptionist immediately bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two. Find us a quiet private room,” Jiang Luo said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One attendant took the keys to park the vehicle, while another led the two inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, order whatever you like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the private room, Jiang Luo handed over the menu, smiling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This restaurant specializes in dishes made from Thunder Beasts of the Thundering Abyss—every dish has its own unique flavor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder Beasts? Brother Luo, you’ve got to give me a proper tour of the Thundering Abyss—I’m still completely in the dark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming chuckled, glancing at the menu in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder these were specialty dishes—each dish cost at least five thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had a large appetite, but he’d already eaten at his aunt’s house a few hours ago, so he didn’t order much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo added a few more dishes, then dismissed the server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a faint flicker from his space ring, a blue-white core appeared in his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, let me introduce you to the Thunder Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Core is a specialty of the Thundering Abyss, obtainable from the bodies of Thunder Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First-rank Thunder Beasts definitely don’t have them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second- and third-rank Thunder Beasts—depends on luck; you might get one if you’re lucky, or nothing if you’re not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From fourth-rank and above, every Thunder Beast carries a Thunder Core.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Core was about the size of an egg, oval-shaped, with faint but potent lightning flickering within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, you know all the creatures inside the Thundering Abyss are lightning-affinity beasts, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary lightning-controlling beasts don’t possess something like a Thunder Core—it’s unique to the Thunder Beasts of this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded, curious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what’s the difference between these mutated Thunder Beasts and ordinary lightning-affinity beasts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The difference isn’t huge, but since they’ve lived for so long in the storm zone, their lightning is far more powerful and harder to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the same applies to us electric affinity adepts—our energy and technique consumption decreases accordingly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo handed the Thunder Core over:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a top-grade fourth-rank Thunder Core, obtained after slaying a peak fourth-rank Thunder Beast. Consider it my welcome gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Brother Luo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smiled his thanks and took the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core wasn’t cold as he’d imagined—it felt slightly warm, like a hand warmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder Cores have many uses. The simplest is to strengthen your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo pulled out another core with much weaker energy fluctuations and crushed it in his hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a powerful blue-white lightning burst erupted, engulfing Jiang Luo entirely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the lightning didn’t even penetrate his exposed skin, leaving no redness or mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The lightning within the Thunder Core resembles natural lightning and can be used alongside our own electric affinity to train the Thunder Indestructible Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is a second-rank core—its power is weak, so it offers little training effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo unleashed his own white-gold electric affinity, giving a slight shake that scattered the lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Thunder Core contains natural lightning? Then why not just go into the storm zone and bathe in the lightning directly for training?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The lightning in the storm zone is too violent and unpredictable—one strike might be weak, the next could be deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the lightning in a Thunder Core is stable and consistent, making it far safer to use.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo explained, then emphasized:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, remember—the closer you get to the center of the storm zone, the higher the rank of the Thunder Beasts and the stronger the lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t rush forward on your first entry into the storm zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” Xu Jingming nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard from Liu Ming that your Thunder Indestructible Body has already reached the fourth level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I broke through a month or two ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive! My Thunder Indestructible Body is only at the fourth level too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo gave a thumbs-up: “At the fourth level of the Thunder Indestructible Body, you can safely use fourth-rank low- to mid-grade Thunder Cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t rush to use this top-grade fourth-rank core—I’m afraid you can’t handle it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait until you’ve entered the storm zone and experienced your maximum tolerable lightning intensity before using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, if you want to improve your control over your own affinity, you can...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Brother Jiang Luo had only arrived here less than twenty days ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his explanations on every aspect of the Thundering Abyss were incredibly detailed, greatly benefiting Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him once again marvel: truly, having connections in the capital makes everything easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Xu Jingming followed Jiang Luo to his lodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lodging was a two-story villa; though its interior wasn’t as refined as the dormitory villas at Magic Grand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for someone traveling outside, such accommodation was already very good.\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","04b9ba6098375dea9052dd31d4de409be6cfe652a989436cf3ea58a3250d8250","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-201","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-199",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
