Really?” Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was something he hadn’t expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Senior Brother Liu Ming once trained here at the Source Water Supply Base...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the base’s chief supervisor, Wang Chuang’s emotional intelligence was certainly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought up Senior Brother Liu Ming as a topic and started chatting freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although only two people were in the room, the conversation never stalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Wang Chuang chattered on for over half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Xu Jingming not initiated leaving, the man might have talked all day without stopping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Student Xu, if you ever run into trouble again, just contact me directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Metropolis, I might not amount to much, but here in Source Water City, my word still carries weight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Wang Chuang warmly gave Xu Jingming his personal contact information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said that in Source Water City, any problem could be handled directly by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Xu Jingming silently reflect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power of background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a regular second-rank upper-tier genius had been in his place, they would never have received such treatment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the top-floor VIP reception room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming rented a room on the 18th floor of the supply base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, as usual, he intended to book a standard room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the receptionist, upon seeing the black gold card in his hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>nervously upgraded his room to a luxury suite on her own initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Xu Jingming received one of the best-equipped rooms in the entire Source Water Supply Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire room was over two hundred square meters, complete with bedroom, bathroom, and entertainment area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decor was luxurious, with exquisitely crafted furnishings throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the most stunning feature of the entire suite was the expansive floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this window, one could overlook the outer zones of the Source Water Wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming stood by the window and looked down; if one ignored the ferocious beasts rampaging in the wasteland, the view below was quite pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the view outside, he had more important matters to attend to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming turned his gaze away and sat down on the living room sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then eagerly pulled out the space ring Wang Chuang had gifted him and examined it closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Externally, the space ring looked no different from an ordinary ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xu Jingming sensed the same spatial energy he had detected earlier in the combat technique library of Metropolis Ability University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the space ring was simple: just imprint your spiritual force onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s spiritual force reached 972 Hz, far exceeding the 600–700 Hz typical of ordinary second-rank upper-tier ability users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why he had detected the Tiger Shark Team trailing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xu Jingming quickly imprinted his spiritual signature onto the space ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he did, a cubic space of approximately one cubic meter appeared in his perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the interior space of the space ring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s eyes gleamed slightly—he now possessed one of those magical items from fantasy novels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he tested the storage function of the space ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything he touched, except living beings, could be stored inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he tried to store an object larger than one cubic meter, the storage would fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space rings are the kind of item that feels amazing before you get them, but loses its novelty once you do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing with the storage and retrieval functions for a short while, Xu Jingming quickly lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After placing his most important items—pills, fresh water, energy bars, iron pot, and seasonings—inside the space ring,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he took out his phone and dialed Professor Yang Zhentian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve left the Wasteland?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Yang Zhentian’s familiar voice came through the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I just got out today. Also, I want to tell you something...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had received such a valuable compensation from Wang Chuang primarily because of Professor Yang’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was necessary to explain the situation to his teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He briefly recounted how he encountered Zhao Chunlin, what happened in between, and how Wang Chuang ultimately handled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Zhao Chunlin had dispatched a second-rank upper-tier elite ability team to assassinate him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a crackling surge of thunderous electricity erupted from the phone, destabilizing the signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming quickly added that the elite team had abandoned their mission, and Professor Yang’s fury subsided slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Xu Jingming finished describing the entire outcome did a cold snort come through:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! How dare they send someone to assassinate you! A space ring as compensation is too lenient!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anything had happened to you, I’d level the entire supply base!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Jingming had died to a beast, Yang Zhentian would have accepted it without complaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if someone behind the scenes had stabbed him in the back, Yang Zhentian would spare no one connected to it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, you said that second-rank upper-tier elite team trailed you to the alley—why did they ultimately abandon their mission?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Yang Zhentian was both relieved and puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once frequently entered the Wasteland himself and knew some ability teams would do any dirty job for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a task was accepted, they wouldn’t abandon it unless faced with overwhelming difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe they realized I’m also second-rank upper-tier,” Xu Jingming rubbed his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear Yang Zhentian had paused in shock, but quickly recovered and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve reached second-rank upper-tier?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I just advanced a few days ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a moment of silence on the other end, then Yang Zhentian’s excited, joyful voice rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Good! Good! No wonder you’re my student Yang Zhentian’s! Your progress is even faster than mine back then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you return to school, I’ll host a celebration for you myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he chatted with his teacher a bit longer before hanging up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Professor Yang Zhentian’s villa at Metropolis Ability University, Yang Zhentian stared in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having taught at Metropolis Ability University for decades, what geniuses hadn’t he seen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he’d never encountered a student who advanced from first-rank upper-tier to second-rank upper-tier in just one month!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say life-or-death crises are catalysts for strength—but in my disciple,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this isn’t even a catalyst—it’s outright cheating!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1243,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b232f71f05b0e8c4c8ca2f3799d105e7c4b482099645749aaf99791dcf17a844","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-71","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-69",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
