He’s here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s been at headquarters lately—probably came over after seeing the appointment, dissatisfied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were me, I’d be dissatisfied too. Even if Ling Shuang was made Magistrate of Metropolis, Xu Jingming still lacks the rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few people in the square; those who had been walking stopped dead in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They whispered among themselves, eager to see how things would unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming represented Su Qingli; Liu Shan represented Hu Jinyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This clash between them would likely draw out both of those senior figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Shan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes, about to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, thunder roared—a slender figure flew in from afar, wreathed in emerald lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Director Su Qingli, radiating an extremely formidable aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Deputy Director Hu Jinyu also flew in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Shan, what are you doing? Publicly provoking the hero who secured first place for Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy in the exchange competition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingli’s eyebrows arched sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her rebuke was icy and biting—clearly furious at Liu Shan’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had expected Hu Jinyu to defend Liu Shan, make excuses for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, Hu Jinyu’s face was equally grim as he hissed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Shan! You’ve acted impulsively! Come back with me now and face the Director’s punishment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not impulsive! I simply can’t accept it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shan’s eyes had turned blood-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice, sharpened by rage, pointed his right finger at Xu Jingming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? Why should Xu Jingming be appointed Magistrate of Metropolis? That position should rightfully be mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been stuck at Peak Eighth-Stage for seven or eight years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, still unable to break into Ninth-Stage, it meant his potential was exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no chance of breaking through on his own—his only hope lay in external resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he was at the Mocheng Branch in Dayangzhou, he held considerable power and might have secured such a top-tier resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since being reassigned as Deputy Director of the Nixi Branch, his status had plummeted—he could never obtain the top-tier resources needed to break into Ninth-Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Magistrate of Metropolis position, however, had reignited his hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for this period, he had constantly rushed to headquarters, trying to get Hu Jinyu to secure the position for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never expected the final announcement to name Xu Jingming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the position, he had no authority—how many years would it take him, on his own, to afford resources to break into Ninth-Stage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To seize this final chance, he had no choice but to act this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy Liu Shan has completely lost control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jinyu’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already informed Liu Shan about what Cao Jun revealed in the National Council regarding Xu Jingming’s true strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had still underestimated Liu Shan’s hunger for Ninth-Stage—he insisted on confronting Xu Jingming anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Shan, are you questioning my decision?” Su Qingli’s beautiful eyes held a faint glimmer of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wouldn’t dare. For the Director to appoint him Magistrate means Xu Jingming must have exceptional qualities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shan shook his head, then turned again to Xu Jingming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m a fighter by nature—I’d like to spar with this newly appointed Magistrate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I lose, I’ll leave Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy immediately. But if I win, the Magistrate position must be returned to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, gasps erupted all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit? Director Liu is going all the way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Magistrate of Metropolis position—fighting for it is understandable. So much is at stake; it’s basically our fourth-highest rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, but Xu Jingming probably won’t agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closure of the Yer Secret Realm and Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy’s victory in the global exchange competition had indeed been a major recent event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reports hadn’t described Xu Jingming’s strength at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Xu Jingming’s fans, nearly everyone in the square assumed Liu Shan was stronger and that Xu Jingming would avoid the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they thought this, Xu Jingming’s calm voice suddenly rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll accept your challenge—but the Magistrate of Metropolis position was arranged by Teacher Su. She must agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had originally intended to avoid any entanglement with Liu Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liu Shan had declared he’d leave Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy if he lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a demand had to be fully met!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’d long disliked Hu Jinyu—and Peak Eighth-Stage Liu Shan was essentially Hu Jinyu’s right-hand man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Removing him from Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy would severely weaken Hu Jinyu’s faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Xu Jingming sent a mental message to Su Qingli: “Teacher, agree to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingli, who already knew Xu Jingming’s true strength, didn’t hesitate—she nodded directly: “Liu Shan, I agree to your terms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the anger on her fair face had vanished, replaced by a faint, mocking smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beside her, Hu Jinyu was nearly driven mad with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined Liu Shan would be this reckless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, he had repeatedly sent mental messages to Liu Shan—yet received no response whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant Liu Shan was utterly determined—he wouldn’t back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? The Director actually agreed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Su Qingli spoke, the onlookers froze in shock—even Liu Shan himself was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely realized the information Hu Jinyu had given him about the National Council might not have been exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he’d come this far, he had no choice but to press on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t believe it—Xu Jingming is really that strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been at Peak Eighth-Stage for nine years, while he’s only just Upper Seventh-Stage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shan’s gaze hardened again, even tinged with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he won, he’d become Magistrate of Metropolis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That position was even more important than Director of the Mocheng Branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he might finally obtain the resources needed to break into Ninth-Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since even the Director agrees, let’s go to the arena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jingming shook his head: “To deal with you, one move is enough—I don’t need the arena.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-21T05:34:02.410Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fadbe5cb8867274f14c7aec9a750e63a5eb39721230fb4ab4c037c16150600e5","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-855","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-853",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
