Provincial Top Scorer of Jiangnan Province!","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-30",30,"\u003Cp>For the past several decades, the provincial top scorer of Jiangnan Province has typically come from Ning’an City, the provincial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or from nearby wealthy cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is perfectly normal—poverty favors literature, wealth favors martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those able to live in these cities all have modest family wealth, and their descendants are exceptionally strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final provincial top scorers, like the capital city of Qingjing, all possess A-rank abilities and First-Rank Upper-level strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the Jiangnan Province top scorer has not emerged from any of the cities familiar to the faculty of the Metropolis Magical Ability University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor is he even an ability user—he is merely an Awakened, and his ability is only E-rank, the second-lowest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could possibly believe this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Xu Jingming’s information echoed through the ears of the faculty, their first reaction was disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can an Awakened become provincial top scorer? Could this be a mistake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could the information have been misattributed to someone with the same name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, that’s possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every candidate’s score in the Wu Ke Gaokao has been professionally reviewed by the National Education Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one doubts the authenticity of the scores—only whether the information was misattributed to someone with the same name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Metropolis Magical Ability University’s information-gathering capability should never make such a basic error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eva’s information is correct!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing doubt, a particularly cute-looking spherical light was projected in hologram form into the room, its surface even displaying a human-like expression of indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Eva, the artificial intelligence responsible for managing all information collection at the Metropolis Magical Ability University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eva is a top-tier AI and cannot make such a basic mistake. Xu Jingming’s information may have been flawed from the moment it was entered into the database.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slightly overweight middle-aged man waved his hand. “Once we watch his Wu Ke Gaokao video, everything will be clear. Eva, open Xu Jingming’s exam footage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Director.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the director’s reassurance, the angry expression on Eva’s holographic sphere vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Xu Jingming’s figure was projected above the center of the round table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footage began with him entering the core zone, facing numerous First-Rank Upper-level ferocious beasts and Second-Rank ferocious beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, he uses a spear? That’s rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his tall, spear-carrying silhouette, one teacher’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the previous dozen or so provincial top scorers, nearly all used long swords or greatswords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spear weapon had never appeared before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A spear is even harder to master than a sword or blade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another teacher nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Jingming’s weapon drew the teachers’ attention, they did not forget their primary goal:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming his ability and rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ability had not yet been activated, so its type could not be determined—but his rank was easy to verify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a fundamental difference between ability users and Awakened: their aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the footage, Xu Jingming’s aura was sharp, yet none of the admissions teachers detected any trait characteristic of an ability user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Xu Jingming really is just an Awakened?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeated verification, all teachers present were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does it mean for an Awakened to be provincial top scorer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This has never happened in the past several decades!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the holographic battle began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Jingming unleashed Purple Thunder Divine Lightning, slaughtering numerous First-Rank Upper-level ferocious beasts, the teachers stared in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This cannot be an E-rank ability!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This power level is at least A-rank! How could it possibly be a weak E-rank electric ability?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did those registering abilities mess this up?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experienced admissions teachers immediately sensed something off about the power of Xu Jingming’s ability; the director of admissions in front also narrowed his eyes and ordered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eva, analyze the rank of Xu Jingming’s ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ability rank must be determined by professional equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a high-level AI, an approximate analysis is possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming’s ability belongs to the Natural category, Electric subcategory. Since air-element data cannot be collected,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based solely on video analysis, there is a 4% probability his ability is B-rank,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10% probability A-rank, 83% probability S-rank, 1% probability SS-rank, 0% probability SSS-rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The AI Eva quickly delivered its analysis. The director of admissions’ pupils contracted sharply upon hearing the result:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“83% probability... for S-rank?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a high-level AI, Eva’s judgment is nearly infallible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An 83% probability means Xu Jingming’s ability is almost certainly S-rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S-rank?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All teachers present suddenly breathed faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does S-rank mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once developed, it becomes absolute top-tier combat power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Great Xia has not seen an S-rank Awakened in three or four years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the holographic projection showed Xu Jingming violently ending the life of the Second-Rank Bloodthirsty Rampage Bear with a single spear thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suspected S-rank ability, combined with this formidable combat skill—Xu Jingming’s provincial top scorer title is fully deserved!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director of admissions exhaled deeply, paused, then said solemnly: “Xu Jingming is assigned an S+ special recruitment slot. We must recruit him at all costs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S+ special recruitment slot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hasn’t this recruitment tier been used in years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S+ special recruitment—looks like we’ll have to offer something impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Zhang, I handled Jiangnan’s special recruitment last year. Let me go this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, I want to go to Jiangnan too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The S+ special recruitment slot, combined with the near-certainty of an S-rank ability, instantly made Xu Jingming a highly sought-after candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many teachers vied to be sent on the Jiangnan special recruitment mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Director Zhang Zhaoyang in front shook his head: “None of you will go—I will go myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the director goes personally, then it’s settled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though other teachers were disappointed, as a Fifth-Rank Mental ability user\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who had previously recruited many students with immense potential into the Metropolis Magical Ability University, Director Zhang Zhaoyang was undoubtedly the most reliable choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S-rank ability... Xu Jingming, I hope you don’t disappoint me...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the tall figure on the hologram, Director Zhang Zhaoyang murmured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>June 12th, the fifth day after the Wu Ke Gaokao ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingming, don’t rush—the results will be announced at the latest today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal, I know, I’m not anxious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good, not rushing is fine—I just worry you young people get too agitated...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming walked through the neighborhood, and after much talk, finally ended the principal’s call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Man, everyone tells me not to rush, yet they’re all more anxious than I am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these days waiting for the rankings, he had received calls not just from his homeroom teacher and principal, but even from the Director of Education.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their every word implied he shouldn’t be anxious—the rankings would come soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their tone was anything but calm; they practically wanted the results announced the day after the exam ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Jiangcheng City desperately needed a chance to prove itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s already the fifth day—shouldn’t the results be out by now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Jingming muttered to himself, a soft “ding” sounded—the SMS alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his phone, unlocked the screen, and checked the message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiangcheng No.2 High School candidate Xu Jingming, Jiangnan Province Wu Ke Gaokao rankings have been released. Please check promptly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the message was a URL link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Gaokao rankings are out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he clicked the link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a document densely filled with the ranking scores of all examinees in the province appeared on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming directly looked at the first line of the document:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Jiangnan Province Rank One: Xu Jingming (No. 2 High School of Jiangcheng), Total Score: points.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rank One!
