Judging by your appearance, you’re heading to the martial arts gym?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, going to train a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So diligent—even tomorrow’s the college entrance exam and you’re still training. Nothing like my damn son.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue Community was where Xu Jingming had lived for eighteen years, and all the neighbors were familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xu Jingming’s gentle personality made him a favorite among the aunts and uncles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him come down the building, some aunts and uncles walking below with their young grandchildren eagerly asked after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming politely responded to each one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, shouldering his long spear, he left the community, took a bus, and transferred once on the subway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he arrived before a modern high-rise building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building stood over twenty meters tall, its exterior clad in silver-white finishes, looking extremely sleek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its footprint was enormous, like a colossal beast crouched there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the building’s side, four bold characters were painted in swirling strokes: “Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the sunlight, those four characters shimmered brilliantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakened individuals seeking to advance to the rank of ability users must train their bodies and spirits to enhance their ability’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet not every family can afford a private training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, martial arts gyms offering training facilities and instruction emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the entire Xia Dynasty, the two most renowned gyms were Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym and Bao Xiong Martial Arts Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had branch locations in every city of the Xia Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jiangcheng, a relatively remote city in Jiangnan Province, had one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Lei Ting and Bao Xiong, Jiangcheng had over a hundred smaller private martial arts gyms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym offered free access to high school students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Xu Jingming had always trained at Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come now to test how much his strength had improved after obtaining Purple Thunder Divine Lightning and boosting his base attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, outside Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym, besides Xu Jingming, there were other awakened individuals—and even ability users—arriving with weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Heng, the ninth-rank ability user who founded Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym, also possesses an S-class lightning ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if one day I’ll be able to establish my own gym...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Xu Jingming entered the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym had six floors, each covering tens of thousands of square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second and third floors were exclusively reserved for free use by high school students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering, Xu Jingming headed straight to the third floor, his usual spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since today was Wednesday, and all senior students had already been dismissed early, the remaining first- and second-year students were still at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most seniors were now at home, making final preparations before the college entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the third floor, usually bustling, now felt unusually quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main hall held only a dozen or so people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, upon entering the hall, Xu Jingming spotted a familiar figure among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a girl about 1.7 meters tall, with refined, coldly beautiful features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carried no weapon, wore casual clothes, and her long, straight legs, accentuated by blue denim shorts, gleamed dazzlingly white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around her stood several other youths and young women dressed in stylish, elegant attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi-jie, you’re here at Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smiled and greeted the tall girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qi, daughter of his aunt, was also a senior, though a few months older than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xu Jingming had lost both parents young, his aunt in Jiangcheng occasionally visited during holidays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cousin sometimes came along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their relationship wasn’t close—just acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original host was introverted and quiet, and with their differing family backgrounds, they had little in common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years ago, after Tang Qi awakened a B-class ability while he only awakened an E-class ability, their common ground vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qi hadn’t expected to meet Xu Jingming here; after a brief pause, she nodded slightly: “Mm, I’m here with friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qi’s family was well-off; she usually went to Bao Xiong Martial Arts Gym, which charged 100,000 yuan annually for membership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rarely came to Lei Ting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, Qi-jie, you guys enjoy yourselves—I’m heading to the training room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming didn’t linger, exchanged a quick greeting, and walked off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“QiQi, who’s that? Looks pretty handsome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Jingming left, a cute girl beside Tang Qi, equally tall but wearing a dress, asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her clear eyes held a hint of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming. My cousin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s also a senior, taking the Wu Ke exam tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xu Jingming’s retreating figure, Tang Qi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cousin Xu Jingming seemed different somehow...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t quite say how.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before, even if they met by chance, he never initiated conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he’d unusually been the one to greet her first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why so curious? Xiao Ya, are you falling for someone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in white casual wear smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the girl named Xiao Ya didn’t mind the teasing; she openly admitted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what? Isn’t it fine? If his looks are good and his ability isn’t terrible, wouldn’t he make a respectable boyfriend to take out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll be disappointed then—my cousin awakened only an E-class ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qi shook her head, already anticipating Xiao Ya’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Jingming was merely an E-class ability user, Xiao Ya’s curiosity instantly faded, and she sighed dismissively:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just an E-class ability? What a shame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has their own circle; people within it usually share similar family backgrounds and compatible personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group had wealthy families and all awakened B-class or C-class abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Jingming, his clothing clearly suggested a modest background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with his E-class ability, even if Xiao Ya was a looker, she had no interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An E-class ability dares to take the Wu Ke exam? At least he’s brave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youth with an earring joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brave? So what? The risk is too high! I’d rather he didn’t take the Wu Ke exam.” Tang Qi sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Wu Ke exam, the most deaths occur among ability users below D-class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Jingming had awakened a D-class ability, she wouldn’t have objected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an E-class ability is far too weak—entering the Wu Ke exam is practically suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An E-class ability should stick to the liberal arts exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduation, get a white-collar job at a company, avoid fighting beasts, no life-threatening danger—wouldn’t that be better?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t make her mother worry every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Aren't we here to visit Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's true. I've spent almost all three years of high school at Bao Xiong Martial Arts Gym—this is my first time at Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relaxing before the college entrance exam is good for your physical and mental health.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Tang Qi was in low spirits, the group quickly dropped the topic and began wandering around casually.\u003C\u002Fp>",1367,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4b9e89cf7a751093116e2078c947ca9d96bbd0faf6077e1b427e7a7707a27e6f","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-5","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-3",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
