In Thunder Extreme State, I can handle a Fifth-Rank Lower adept without trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: the Fourth-Rank Peak and Fifth-Rank he mentioned here refer specifically to A-rank adepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If facing B-rank adepts, his dominance would be even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So high?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhentian, aware of this unspoken standard, blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember: once an adept enters the Fourth Rank, each sub-rank brings earth-shattering power shifts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Magus University’s prodigies, with identical rank abilities, consider crossing one sub-rank their limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xu Jingming is only Third-Rank Upper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already possesses the power to fight across two major ranks against Fifth-Rank adepts—this is simply unbelievable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wasn’t this strong before, but I got lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Thunder Secret Realm, I advanced the Thunder Indestructible Body to the Fifth Level.” Xu Jingming explained with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder your vital energy is so vigorous—I thought it was from leveling up, but it’s because your Indestructible Body advanced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhentian nodded in awe: “It seems this body cultivation technique suits you perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then your combat power should completely crush Kong Shi—so why are there so many debates on the school forum?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They don’t know my true strength. Disagreement is natural. When the competition starts, I’ll silence them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming wasn’t affected by these rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facts would prove to them that Principal Lingshuang’s choice was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s still over half a month until the league begins—these rumors won’t hurt you, but they might hurt Principal Lingshuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s only been at our school three years, and this is her first time handling school affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you get the chance, reveal your strength early—let others know Principal Lingshuang made the right choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhentian mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Xu Jingming and Lingshuang’s personalities, neither would react to public opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sometimes, public opinion shapes how others perceive you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for a deputy principal like Lingshuang, who’s only been here three years, reputation matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It affects Principal Lingshuang? Then how should I reveal my strength?” Xu Jingming frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sect of Destiny’s tasks still remain, but completing tasks alone can’t fully prove I’m stronger than Kong Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the league approaching, Kong Shi probably won’t take on any tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I go alone, it’s just me performing solo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most direct way is to find Kong Shi and fight him—but he might not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simple. Our school has a Combat Power Ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Shi is currently number one. Just replace him as number one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhentian smiled, then added with curiosity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see your Combat Power Ranking is below four thousandth place—how could it be so low?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Combat Power Ranking uses a virtual training mode, measuring the combat strength of over four thousand students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtual training requires a holographic immersion pod—similar to an immersive online game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But students aren’t playing games—they kill beasts and clear stages within the virtual trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the stage cleared, the higher the Combat Power Ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Magus University, Kong Shi ranks highest—number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming ranks at the very bottom—he’s never participated in virtual training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one reason people believe Kong Shi is stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combat Power Ranking? I forgot about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming suddenly remembered and shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I always thought killing beasts in a virtual world was a waste of time—better to head straight into the wilderness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder your Combat Power Ranking score is zero—it’s because of this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhentian understood. “But you really should try virtual training—it’s far more useful than you imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, I’m the head coach for this league.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team competition training will be conducted in virtual training—you need to adapt early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The national university league’s three events—solo and survival—test individual strength and require no special training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the team event tests coordination and cooperation among adepts, requiring experienced coaches to lead training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The virtual training system stores data from nearly a hundred past Magus University league teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked forward to seeing whether the Magus University team with Xu Jingming on it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could defeat the legendary “Divine Team”—the strongest team in Magus University’s history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prove my strength through virtual training? I understand—I’ll go try it right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his teacher say this, Xu Jingming suddenly became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Principal Lingshuang had helped him so many times—he didn’t want public opinion to harm her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he claimed the top spot on the Combat Power Ranking and crushed Kong Shi beneath him, all those forum debates would vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-21T05:34:00.634Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","545f0ae9f46b88a3965e4f9266c1a594410f10c875159a93070f23d895682f37","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-239","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-237",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
