Not bad, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao asked with a smiling face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s indeed impressive,” Xu Jingming did not deny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in physique or appearance, this girl was far superior to the internet celebrities filtered by beauty apps from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But aren’t you the guy who claims to know everything? Do you know who she is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming teased Liu Wentao with his nickname “Know-It-All,” not expecting him to actually know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, Liu Wentao puffed out his chest proudly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I know—her name is Song Qiuyun, a top-tier first-rank cultivator with an A-class natural light-type ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, not bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Liu Wentao’s self-proclaimed “Know-It-All” title wasn’t all bluff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course—Song Qiuyun is from Sichuan Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year’s Gaokao score was over nine thousand points—she’s the provincial top scorer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao replied with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even before the Wu Ke entrance exam, Song Qiuyun had already gained minor fame in Rongcheng, the provincial capital of Sichuan, thanks to her stunning looks, figure, and formidable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already somewhat famous in Rongcheng, the capital of Sichuan Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Song Qiuyun suddenly stopped walking as she strolled with her friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her A-class natural light ability, called Dawnlight, granted her not only strong offensive power\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but also an exceptionally sharp sensory perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely this perception that allowed her to avoid areas teeming with dangerous beasts during the Wu Ke exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, she had sensed a terrifying gaze, akin to that of a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze carried no malice, yet it was overwhelmingly oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It came swiftly and vanished just as quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Song Qiuyun sharply identified its source: a slightly tall figure not far ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could a human emit a beast-like aura?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qiuyun furrowed her brows, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she could only blame it on her imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the tall figure ahead—Xu Jingming—left a faint impression in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym serves over a million residents of Jiangcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym at the Magic Capital Energy University needs to serve only around ten thousand faculty and students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym’s scale is even larger than the one in Jiangcheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym lies the Bear Fury Martial Arts Gym, also six or seven stories high, crouching like a giant beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have to say, the Magic Capital Energy University has pushed facility construction to the extreme.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh of admiration, Xu Jingming and Liu Wentao stepped into the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first floor of the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym was a spacious lobby, with a reception desk at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around it were several sofas for resting; now, people who had finished training sat on them drinking beverages and chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym! How may I assist you two students?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female attendant in a short skirt greeted them warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re looking for a training room with a strength-testing device.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym is free only for high school students; college students must pay a membership fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The membership fee, like that of the Bear Fury Martial Arts Gym, is 100,000 Daxia Coins per year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Magic Capital Energy University pays the membership fee for all students annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, for them, all gym facilities are free to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The training rooms are on the third floor. Please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff smiled sweetly and led the way; Xu Jingming and Liu Wentao followed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym treats every guest with such warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You may accept or decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was their first time at the Magic Capital Energy University’s gym and they didn’t know the layout, Xu Jingming chose to let her guide them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding dong~~, third floor arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pleasant chime, the elevator doors opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them stretched a spacious hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall was crowded, but most people looked bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some emitted flames from their bodies, others stood two or three meters tall, and some had limbs transformed into animal forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying them were various noisy shouts:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I’ve finally mastered my C-class technique, Yangji Flame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, so what if you mastered it? Still can’t break through my metalized skin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re all garbage! My Triple Gigantification can slap you all against the wall with one swipe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're all trash! My triple enlargement can slam all of you against the wall with one slap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people seemed to be training, and those who knew each other occasionally exchanged taunts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is our public training hall, capable of accommodating three hundred people simultaneously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The entire hall is constructed from C-class alloy mixed with memory metal—no need to worry about damage from abilities or techniques.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if you find it too noisy, you may choose a private training room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming wasn’t particularly surprised upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The public training hall existed in the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym in Jiangcheng too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in a public hall is better—when so many others are training, you won’t slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people with poor self-discipline choose to train in public halls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, when someone masters a technique, the cheers from those around them bring a strong sense of accomplishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the downside is that your techniques and progress become known to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, we’ll stay here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had originally planned to book a private room, but since his roommate was nearby, he chose the public hall instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had originally planned to go to a private training room, but since he had a roommate nearby, he chose the public training room instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff led the two into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone admitted to the Magic Capital Energy University is an ability user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, as they moved through the hall, they constantly felt powerful energy fluctuations from others testing their techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, are these guys competing to see who’s stronger? Each one’s more explosive than the last.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao, feeling the floor shake beneath his feet, muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mental-type ability user, he couldn’t generate such commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xu Jingming’s attention was drawn to five pillars standing in the center of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each pillar was covered with countless names, followed by numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top three names on each pillar were the largest, glowing golden, and extremely eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are our Punch Power Challenge Leaderboards—five lists, corresponding to ability users from first to fifth rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you two like to try? Enter the top three thousand, and you’ll earn 50 academic credits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top three thousand gets a reward? That’s easy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao immediately became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Magic Capital Energy University had only around four thousand students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just swipe your student ID on the pillar’s sensor to begin. But no abilities or techniques allowed—otherwise it’s a violation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll go first, Ming. Wait here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao nodded and strode into the center of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiped his student ID against the sensor on the first pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome! Student ID: Liu Wentao, initiating Punch Power Challenge! Everyone, cheer for him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if flipping a switch, a loud announcer’s voice echoed through the entire hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, spotlights shone down on Liu Wentao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the hall turned their attention, instinctively glancing over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, someone’s starting a Punch Power Challenge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, feels like a first-rank mid-tier—probably a freshman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, this’ll be fun to watch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, now there's something entertaining to watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「......」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hall, many upperclassmen and upperclasswomen glanced with glee at the figure standing at the very center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao, at the center, was utterly stunned—he never expected the commotion of initiating the challenge would be this big!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he’d come this far, retreating was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he took a deep breath, mobilized all his strength, and slammed his fist with full force against the target before him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target emitted a muffled boom, then shook violently back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huuu—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao slowly exhaled a long breath of stale air; he was fairly satisfied with that punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making it into the top three thousand should be no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Punch strength: 476 kilograms. Excellent performance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice sounded again, first announcing the power with high enthusiasm, then lowering its tone slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, regrettably, your punch strength ranks below 100,000th place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“10... 100,000th place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wentao was stunned—didn’t the entire Metropolis Psychic University have only around four thousand students?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly realized—the punch strength leaderboard included not just current students, but all alumni as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Metropolis Psychic University had been established for over a century, admitting over a thousand students each year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accumulated over time, that easily added up to over a hundred thousand students!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a scam! No wonder everyone was staring at me—they were just waiting to laugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Liu Wentao realize, his cheeks burning hot; he quickly slunk away in shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Below 100,000th? That’s hilarious—I didn’t score this low when I was a freshman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at the kid’s face—he’s as red as a monkey’s butt. Definitely a freshman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«......»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire training hall erupted into a chorus of amused chatter because of Liu Wentao’s performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah Ming, are you going to try it? You’ll definitely do better than me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to bear the ridicule, Liu Wentao quickly urged Xu Jingming beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people looking foolish was better than one, wasn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I’ll give it a try too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming didn’t refuse upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original purpose in coming here was to test his physical strength—punch power was part of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he wanted to see:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current strength, where would he rank among all the geniuses who had ever attended the Metropolis Psychic University since its founding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome! Student ID Xu Jingming has initiated the punch strength challenge! Everyone, cheer for him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Jingming swiped his student card, the same high-pitched voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Someone else is starting a challenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like the guy’s companion from just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk. This one’s even weaker—seems to be only First Tier Lower Rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First Tier Lower Rank? He probably can’t even hit 400 kilograms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«......»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, the audience had no confidence in Xu Jingming, who was only First Tier Lower Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xu Jingming himself remained completely unfazed; he took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, every drop of his blood and qi surged to its limit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood straight, engaged his waist, and twisted his arms with its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that force, his fist shot forward like a released arrow, becoming a black blur as it slammed violently into the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening crash, like a sledgehammer striking, exploded through the hall—followed immediately by a roar of ecstatic cheers:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Punch strength: 4,589 kilograms! Peak punch strength! Congratulations—you’ve broken the record!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1821,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","85e4b9e0f60c92795975e677b01fc1da1801220a9c4112239f15029805aa2378","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-49","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-47",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
