He had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Xu Jingming possesses an S-class psychic ability; it’s only natural the vice-principal wants him to elevate Magic University’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re too easygoing. I, for one, refuse to accept this. Once team training starts, I’m going to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he can’t even beat me, I’d like to see how he dares to be the team captain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall, slender youth snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tao Guan, there’s no need for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew his friend was defending him, Kong Shi still frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to his reclusive nature, he had few close friends—only Tao Guan and Zheng Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were strong, fourth-rank lower-tier, ranked within the top ten of the entire school’s combat power list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan had even been selected as a reserve team member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, someone on the forum says Xu Jingming entered the virtual trial!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zheng Heng, holding his phone, exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? I want to see how high he’ll climb!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan also pulled out his phone and opened Magic University’s official website.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Kong Shi, usually so composed, unconsciously reached for his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they found Xu Jingming’s latest ranking and combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming: Combat Power Rank #42, Combat Power: !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? I thought his combat power used to be zero?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did it jump straight to 210,000? He’s already in the top 50!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan stared at the ranking on his phone, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zheng Heng, can you find out when Xu Jingming started the trial?” Kong Shi asked, voice low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, I’ll check right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Heng quickly scrolled through forum posts, and moments later, whispered in shock:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the forum posts, Xu Jingming only started the trial three minutes ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three minutes ago?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Shi’s pupils contracted; his rock-hard face showed profound shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reach 200,000 combat power, you must clear Virtual Trial Level 20!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant Xu Jingming had cleared twenty levels in just three minutes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than nine seconds per level on average!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine seconds? What did that mean? It meant he cleared each level almost by instant-killing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could the start time be wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan, fully aware of what this time implied, turned to Zheng Heng again for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No mistake—several posts confirm it.” Zheng Heng shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The start time’s correct. Before Level 21, the virtual trial only spawns high-level third-rank beasts—just hundreds of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For us enhancement-type psychics, killing them is a hassle—but for Xu Jingming, an S-class lightning user?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instant-killing isn’t impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Shi realized it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against low-rank beasts, lightning-type efficiency far surpassed enhancement-type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All it took was a thought—lightning struck remotely. Enhancement-types had to close in with weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True. Lightning-type AoE clearing is way faster than ours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Level 21 should stall him for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 20 only had a hundred third-rank peak beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Level 21? One fourth-rank lower-tier beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was the dividing line—only students who cleared Level 21, reaching 240,000 combat power, were Magic University’s top tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students with combat power reaching 240,000 are the first tier of Magic University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xu Jingming’s strength, he’d clear it—just not with instant-kills like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no sooner had Tao Guan finished speaking than the ranking on his phone changed abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming: Combat Power Rank #35, Combat Power: !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell? He cleared it that fast?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan’s eyes widened, then waved his hand: “S-class psychic abilities are insane—still instant-killed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Level 22 has twenty fourth-rank lower-tier beasts—surely he can’t instant-kill those?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the 22nd trial has a total of twenty fourth-rank lower-tier ferocious beasts—this can’t possibly be a one-hit kill anymore, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming: Combat Power Rank #29, Combat Power: !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instant-killed again?!” Tao Guan was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those twenty fourth-rank lower-tier beasts took him over ten minutes to kill one by one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level 23 has a scaled earth dragon—fourth-rank mid-tier. It’s a dragon-type beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the weakest dragon-type, its defense is brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely high lightning resistance—surely he can’t instant-kill that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan’s eyes locked onto his phone screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet seconds later, without surprise, Xu Jingming’s ranking jumped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming: Combat Power Rank #19, Combat Power: !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the fuck?! How the hell did he instant-kill the scaled earth dragon?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Guan had no idea what to say anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could kill that scaled earth dragon himself, but only after a grueling fight lasting over half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not like this—like swatting a fragile first-rank beast, dispatching it in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This...” Zheng Heng beside him was equally stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the center, Kong Shi’s face was grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Xu Jingming was far stronger than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Xu Jingming is likely much stronger than he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-21T05:34:00.634Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c8b0aa30dadcda73ad37052c82899f4d7b8dd56d82de5f1ffb3a3fd5e526f76a","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-242","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-240",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
