Anyone else would have helped you too,” Xu Jingming waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d only realized it was Jiang ChuXuan who’d sent the distress signal after arriving nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if it had been anyone else, he’d have lent a hand too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not necessarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang ChuXuan shook her head, then extended her slender right hand, a beautiful smile appearing on her face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Jiang ChuXuan. I can never repay your life-saving deed—just tell me if you ever need anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made no promise of material reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she knew such a debt could never be repaid by any material thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if Xu Jingming wanted it, she’d sell everything she owned to fulfill it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming reached out and lightly shook her hand, then an idea struck him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for orders—but if you could give me an autographed photo, that’d be perfect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might as well take this chance to get the autograph Zhang Hao had been begging for, saving him from having to bring it up every time they contacted each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My autographed photo?” Jiang ChuXuan blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected his request to be so simple—she’d thought he’d ask for something outrageous...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, she didn’t have the habit of carrying photos on her person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she apologized: “I don’t have any photos on me—can I give you one when I get back to the supply base?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang ChuXuan felt a pang of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should’ve kept a few photos in her space ring—after all, they took up almost no space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming wasn’t in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Zhang Hao hadn’t been able to reach him lately anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, you’re from Metropolis Energy University too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang ChuXuan noticed the school insignia on Xu Jingming’s spear and her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded in response, offering no denial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew it!

I’ll take you to the city ruins—you can make your way back from there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With seven or eight days left before school started, he planned to stay in this mountain forest area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He certainly wouldn’t drag along a liability—but escorting her out of the forest was no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’d only take an hour or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were fellow students—he could spare that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you so much, Senior!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang ChuXuan smiled brightly, like a thousand flowers blooming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Senior, want to check out the Burrowing Earth Dragon’s den?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There might be something valuable inside—otherwise, why would it have rushed out to chase me right after I passed by?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang ChuXuan suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To gather video footage, this wasn’t her first time entering the Wildlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she’d never encountered this situation before—if the den had nothing unusual, she wouldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s eyebrows lifted, and he grew interested: “Alright, let’s go take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, powerful beasts’ lairs often held rare herbs and plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the mountain forest, he’d found several such rare plants in the dens of powerful beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Burrowing Earth Dragon wasn’t an ordinary beast—its den might hold something valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xu Jingming first used a B-grade alloy dagger to cut off the valuable parts of the Burrowing Earth Dragon’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he followed Jiang ChuXuan toward the beast’s lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Senior, which college are you from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weapons College.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weapons College—I know. Your dean, Yang Zhentian, has the nickname ‘Yang the Helllord,’ right? Super scary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s my teacher.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Sorry, sorry—I messed up...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On online videos, Jiang ChuXuan’s style focused on swift, lethal strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paired with her silver-white hair and ice-element energy, she truly was an icy goddess of the “senior” type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Jiang ChuXuan acted exactly like an adorable junior, chattering nonstop beside Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming could tolerate Liu Wentao’s loquacious roommate—he had no objection to Jiang ChuXuan’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to the rough-and-tumble Liu Wentao, this was a near-perfect, visually stunning beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked through the forest for four or five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a cave about three to four stories tall appeared before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was hidden behind thick grass and shrubs; without careful observation, it was truly hard to spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, this is the place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chu’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she exclaimed eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad the photographer isn’t here—otherwise, we could change up the style and make an expedition video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded, gripping his two-meter-long Dark Cloud Gale Spear in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, accompanied by a piercing thunderclap, blue-purple Zixiao Divine Lightning surged forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Earth-Digging Dragon had already been slain, no one knew if another one lurked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s best to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after forming a lightning barrier around them with Zixiao Divine Lightning, they stepped into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Such formidable lightning!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the terrifying lightning mere feet away, Jiang Chu’s delicate face betrayed a hint of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already noticed that Xu Jingming’s lightning ability was unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now, up close, did she realize the energy fluctuations radiating from the lightning were even more terrifying than she’d imagined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Just a single strand of this lightning could probably kill me instantly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But this senior is also incredibly low-key—I never heard his name at school.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chu silently marveled, deciding that once they returned, she’d look up Xu Jingming’s records and find out just who this person really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they ventured deeper into the cave, the surrounding light grew dimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xu Jingming’s Zixiao Divine Lightning illuminated their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tap, tap, tap...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silent cave, apart from the thunder’s rumble, only their footsteps echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing through a stretch reeking of animal odor, a sudden, fragrant scent drifted into their nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is... the aroma of rare flowers and herbs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking another ten meters, the narrow passage suddenly opened into a vast space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a spacious underground cavern, its walls littered with the cleaned skeletons of slain ferocious beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the far end, animal hides had been laid out as a simple nest—but no beast dwelled there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the very center of the cavern lay a small pool of clear spring water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the pool grew numerous oddly shaped grasses and flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some emitted icy cold, others burned with searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint, fragrant scent Xu Jingming had smelled originated from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“B-grade Qingling Grass, A-grade Lieyan Flower, C-grade Sleep-inducing Grass...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering the Wild Zone, Xu Jingming had thoroughly studied the knowledge of rare flowers and herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, bathed in the glow of Zixiao Divine Lightning, he easily identified the names of these dozen or so rare plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also realized they were all C-grade or higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So many rare flowers and herbs—why did they all grow here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overcome with joy, Xu Jingming naturally turned his attention to the central spring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this spring water be special?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, Jiang Chu beside him gasped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this be... an S-grade Earth Spirit Spring?!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1638,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ea3b908fb40d6e78015de1c005be500c28466dd2dc7ece4883603b994ad8922c","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-75","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-73",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
