Eva?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her appearance had changed, Xu Jingming couldn’t imagine anyone else appearing in this virtual space except Eva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re smart, S-Class student,” Eva smiled sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was no longer divine—it was now clear and melodic, like an ordinary little girl’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why aren’t you in your ball shape?” Xu Jingming was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little ball form could be interacted with; this girl form, though pretty, couldn’t be squeezed at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! You want to pinch my cheeks again, don’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eva crossed her arms and pouted, but then explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ball form saves the most computational power. Since you’re an S-Class student,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was allocated 1% extra computational power to simulate a more realistic virtual space, so I switched forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you prefer the ball, I can change back right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petite loli transformed into the familiar little ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never mind, go back to your original form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the loli just now, Xu Jingming could no longer treat her like a cute, mindless ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, do AIs have gender?” Xu Jingming was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AIs were ranked from Level 5 to Level 1 based on computational power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no human had yet created an AI above Level 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s top-tier AI hosts, including Eva,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were all excavated from ancient civilization ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had only heard this secret from Deputy Principal Ling Shuang by chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected AIs might have gender preferences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not. I just prefer a female form. If you like male, I can change.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Eva transformed into a burly man with a full beard, her voice deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough—your original form was fine,” Xu Jingming choked, quickly saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew boys preferred girls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eva giggled and reverted to the petite loli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she waved her right hand, and a set of battle suits surrounded Xu Jingming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone must choose one B-Class battle suit and one B-Class weapon for the virtual trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take a look—whichever you want, just touch it lightly to equip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming carefully examined them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, he selected a black battle suit produced by Extreme Tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suit favored lightness and speed, with weak defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with his S-Class defensive technique, “ Mingyuleikai ,” Xu Jingming didn’t need extra defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and lightly touched the hovering suit—it vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his casual clothes and sneakers were replaced by the black battle suit and combat boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, weapons. Weapon weight can be freely set.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eva seemed to know what weapon Xu Jingming used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hand—the battle suits vanished, replaced by dozens of spears, each with a unique design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That one. I want it at 1000 kilograms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming chose a spear about two meters one long, resembling the Black Obsidian Spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he gripped it, he felt its astonishing weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Battle suit and weapon selected. You have one minute for final preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one minute, the virtual trial will begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eva’s clear voice rang out; Xu Jingming nodded slightly and began stretching his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried running, jumping, thrusting his spear—all movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, every motion was impossibly smooth—he felt no hint of being in a virtual space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly astonishing virtual reality technology,” Xu Jingming marveled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a thought, brilliant SS-Class Doushen Thunder surged forth, swirling around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder the teacher said the virtual trial would satisfy me—my psychic ability is perfectly simulated!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped the spear tightly and thrust it forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp tearing sound echoed—he could even feel air resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the S-Class exclusive reality simulation tech. Others only experience 80% of the effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eva, with her twin braids, smiled gently and tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ready? The virtual trial is about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this is your first trial, you’ll start at Level 1.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. Go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming took a deep breath, gripped the spear, and golden thunder surged violently around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Countdown: 3...2...1... Virtual Trial Level 1 begins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Eva’s countdown ended, the ancient gate ahead burst open with a crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire silver-white space transformed instantly into a lush green meadow, centered on the ancient gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming could even smell the fragrance of soil and grass in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With deafening roars, twenty one-meter-long rhinoceroses, each the size of a small car, charged out of the gate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their thick hooves crushed the grass, leaving deep pits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty Level 1 Mid-Rank rhinoceroses—challenging for a typical freshman,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but nothing to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming didn’t even feel the need to use his spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violent Doushen Thunder surged forth, instantly devouring and killing all twenty rhinoceroses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level 1 trial cleared. You have one minute to rest. Would you like to rest or continue the trial?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petite twin-braided loli Eva floated in midair, her clear, melodious voice echoing through the entire space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue.” Xu Jingming did not hesitate for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trial Level 2 begins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackling—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder surged, instantly obliterating again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trial Level 3 begins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trial Level 4 begins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Xu Jingming’s current strength, only fourth-tier ferocious beasts could resist the devouring power of the Dou Tian Divine Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, these low-tier ferocious beasts were instantly obliterated upon encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this terrifying kill efficiency, Xu Jingming’s combat power surged rapidly from zero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ranking also skyrocketed at a terrifying pace!\u003C\u002Fp>",1205,"2026-06-21T05:34:00.634Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dd23e5be326f00da91d25df893e8b3f98fc2c5c0c57537154b2da1a36269cdd0","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-241","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-239",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
