This year’s Wu Ke exam is truly no ordinary challenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming licked his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In southern Jiangnan during summer, sunset came later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slanting afternoon sun struck the Bloodthirsty Rampager, casting a long shadow across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his back to the light, Xu Jingming could not clearly see the beast’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its blood-red eyes radiated overwhelming pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Influenced by this aura, the remaining dozen beasts, previously cowed by Xu Jingming’s presence, grew bold again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crouched low, bared their fangs, and let out growls and roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This scene would make a perfect horror film.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But once the fighting starts, these minor beasts might prove troublesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If so, then let’s clear the field first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Thunder Divine Lightning, previously active only on his surface, now plunged deep into his body under his control!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if injected with a powerful stimulant, Xu Jingming’s body shuddered violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clear, sharp eyes filled with purple lightning, while an immense force surged from every limb and bone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the feeling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Xu Jingming’s angular face, a wild, unrestrained smile spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ability is a form of power inherent to humans—just like an arm, it can be used with perfect ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, beyond refined techniques, there are also crude methods of application.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Zhou Mingyang’s wind ability could simply reduce air resistance to increase running speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, his earlier burst of Purple Thunder Divine Lightning achieved an effect similar to a powerful plasma cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This state now was a fundamental application of lightning-based abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By guiding lightning into the body to stimulate every cell, one could dramatically enhance physical strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Xu Jingming had tried using his E-rank ability [Weak Electricity] to stimulate his body, but it only caused numbness with no other effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the S-rank Purple Thunder Divine Lightning, it was entirely different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming could feel the lightning surging through him like a river, strengthening his physique to an absurd degree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was not a technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And channeling lightning through the body was extremely dangerous—any misstep could damage the meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Xu Jingming could not sustain this state for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s more than enough to deal with you beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>lightning flashed, and his form vanished from where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he was beside a high-tier first-class One-Horned Rhino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his spear in hand, he slashed through the air like lightning, leaving a purple-black trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the rhino could react, a crimson line appeared along its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, its massive head slid cleanly off and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its skin, harder than steel, offered not the slightest defense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed from its neck like a fountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-tier first-class beast’s vitality was so great that even a gut wound would still allow movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without its head, there was no remedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headless body of the rhino crashed heavily into a pool of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the rhino slain before its eyes, the Bloodthirsty Rampager could no longer hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a furious roar, it charged straight at Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though massive, the Bloodthirsty Rampager moved swiftly—its four limbs hitting the ground, it covered over thirty meters in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was less running than leaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Bloodthirsty Rampager’s speed was outmatched—Xu Jingming’s was faster still!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empowered by Purple Thunder Divine Lightning, he became a purple-black phantom, darting through the beast pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike of his black spear, wreathed in purple lightning, claimed another beast’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ding~, slain one high-tier first-class beast: One-Horned Rhino. Ability points +15.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ding~, slain one high-tier first-class beast: Shadow Cat. Ability points +13.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ding~, slain one high-tier first-class beast: Arm-Knife Tiger. Ability points +14.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘......’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of system notifications echoed continuously in Xu Jingming’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alongside them, the Bloodthirsty Rampager’s furious, impotent roars echoed as it failed to land a single blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of lightning ability is this? So brutal?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rooftop, Zhou Mingyang and his group were utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just by unleashing his ability, he nearly killed high-tier first-class beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Xu Jingming is still just an Awakened—no A-rank ability should achieve this level of power, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petite girl Meng Di swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the internet, she had seen A-rank lightning users before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even the highest-tier A-rank lightning users had never exerted pressure as overwhelming as Xu Jingming’s right now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stronger than an A-rank ability... could it be...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang and the bald boy exchanged glances and spoke in unison: “S-rank?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the words left their lips than Zhou Mingyang shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he truly had an S-rank ability, the entire Great Xia Nation would have been shaken the moment he awakened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, in today’s world, it’s nearly impossible to conceal one’s ability rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ability awakening is centrally managed by the state—every Awakened’s ability is recorded in the national database.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were truly an S-rank ability, the state would have immediately taken the person for elite training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he still be stuck in Jiangcheng No. 2 High School, with its poor educational resources?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be ability mutation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald youth ventured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ability mutation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingyang paused, then nodded. “It’s possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world is vast, full of wonders beyond imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ability mutation is rare, but it has happened before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There have been cases in the past where a D-rank ability mutated into an A-rank ability under accidental circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But no matter what, after today, the entire Jiangcheng will surely tremble for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the black figure below, wielding a long spear and charging through the monstrous beasts, ruthlessly clearing the area, Zhou Mingyang’s expression was incredibly complex...\u003C\u002Fp>",1183,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","77c5342d62f94b1191779a1bc351b12a6bd41680d1dbe642d7d73035fffbe00e","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-24","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-22",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
