Nearly ten times my physical strength!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep in mind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The average attack strength of a first-rank ability user is only one thousand Ka !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thousand Ka  is comparable to the strength of a mid-tier first-rank ability user!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder every nation chases high-grade awakened users—the gap between tiers is enormous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming couldn’t help but whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his memories, ability users above the awakened stage are divided into nine ranks, from first to ninth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each rank is further subdivided into lower, mid, and upper tiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was still only an awakened user—yet with his S-grade ability, Zi Xiao Divine Thunder, he could already match the attack strength of a mid-tier first-rank ability user!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder every nation chases high-grade awakened users—the gap between tiers is enormous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But three thousand Ka  isn’t my limit...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming took a deep breath, and the violet lightning spread over the Hei Yao spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Gale Break!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of lightning filled the training room—the spear transformed into a purple-black dragon as it lunged toward the wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning flared, the deafening impact shaking the entire training room!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the lightning faded, the memory-metal target on the wall—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if struck by lightning, its center had melted into a metallic crater, permanently deformed and irreparable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying cracks radiated from the target like spiderwebs, spreading across the entire wall, exposing cables beneath the seams still sparking with electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cables connected to the memory metal to measure attack intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target was clearly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming turned to the smart screen on his right—no data appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m in a beginner training room; the memory metal here can withstand up to upper-tier first-rank ability users.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The memory metal’s destruction clearly means the attack intensity reached its limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means my strike matches the power of an upper-tier first-rank ability user!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder combat techniques are so powerful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning Gale Break was the only combat technique Xu Jingming currently possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had carefully chosen this technique—it perfectly fused his lightning ability with spear techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, most ability users’ combat techniques are closely tied to their own abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Peak attack strength rivaling an upper-tier first-rank ability user—tomorrow’s exam should be interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hopeful smile curled on Xu Jingming’s lips as he sheathed the Hei Yao spear and stepped out of the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym had dedicated maintenance staff who would promptly repair damaged equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no compensation was required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, those capable of damaging equipment were precisely the kind Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym welcomed most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After walking around, I still think our Bear Fury Martial Arts Gym is better. Lei Ting’s training rooms are smaller, and their strength-testing equipment isn’t even the latest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it isn’t—do you think our annual hundred thousand Daxia coins membership fee is free?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of which, after wandering around, I’m actually bored.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bored?
