Who do you plan to appoint as the new regional head of Suzhou-Hangzhou province?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the aircraft cabin, Ling Shuang asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s ask the teacher’s opinion when we get back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Jingming had already met many key figures at the academy during the previous inauguration ceremony,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>appointments to such important positions must go to trusted allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point needed confirmation from Su Qingli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, this really should be discussed with Qingli.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang smiled faintly. “Hu Jinyu probably never imagined you’d remove Li Gang so quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzhou-Hangzhou province was the largest Li-family stronghold within the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy; removing this one would make the rest insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I didn’t expect you’d use this method to oust Li Gang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you’d keep gathering evidence until he slipped up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang’s pale, delicate face turned toward him, her tone intrigued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if Li Gang had reported the theft himself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to our academy’s rules, voluntarily reporting losses doesn’t warrant dismissal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Just this one mistake is enough to suspend him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smiled calmly. “Once suspended, it’ll be hard for him to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if one attempt fails, try again—repeat it several times, and you can still bring him down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, from the moment he assumed the role of Demon Capital Inspector, Li Gang’s fate was sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re truly impressive, Jingming. Qingli never thought of this strategy,” Ling Shuang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that I’m impressive—it’s just a roundabout tactic born of insufficient strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I were stronger, I wouldn’t need these tricks; I’d simply order anyone I dislike to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jinyu was an A-rank Ninth-Stage Mid-Level Grand Master. Xu Jingming had heard from Su Qingli that Hu Jinyu’s strength slightly surpassed hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant, once he could defeat Su Qingli, he’d be close to defeating Hu Jinyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he wouldn’t let that disgusting man remain in the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang blinked her clear, large eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Xu Jingming’s current breakthrough pace, she felt that day couldn’t be far off...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the incident was truly his doing, Fu Xingye quickly located the warehouse where the stolen supplies had been stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the facts, Xu Jingming immediately removed Li Gang from his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Su Qingli’s advice, he appointed a Ninth-Stage Grand Master named Han Bing as the new regional head of Suzhou-Hangzhou province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Ninth-Stage Grand Master was a loyal subordinate of Su Tianrui, Su Qingli’s father; after Su Tianrui’s disappearance, he took orders from Su Qingli and was utterly trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the dismissal announcement to the new appointment, the entire process took less than an hour, sparking major unrest throughout the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Concealing the theft from the resource depot? Li Gang dared to be this bold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows if it was truly stolen or embezzled? But no surprise—the Emperor of Thunder strikes hard with his first three fires, immediately rooting out a rotten apple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A rotten apple? I feel this whole thing seems too convenient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power struggle between Director Su Qingli and Deputy Director Hu Jinyu was invisible to anyone below a certain rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, for the vast majority of Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy members, this was merely Xu Jingming carrying out his duties—nothing more, nothing less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But high-rank psychics who understood the power struggle between the two factions marveled at Xu Jingming’s swift action—he had seized Suzhou-Hangzhou province, long controlled by the Li family, in record time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xu Jingming’s powerful rise, Hu Jinyu had lost considerable influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this incident, many core branch directors and senior managers within the academy began reconsidering their allegiances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of this concerned Xu Jingming—he had already returned to his villa in Demon Capital and was consulting Su Qingli on cultivation matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elementalization is an ability exclusive to Ninth-Stage Law Saints, rendering ordinary physical attacks ineffective.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why did the Law Saint I simulated in the arena experience a significant power surge after elementalization?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the villa’s living room, Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the sofa, Su Qingli wore a green robe, her aura cold and ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang had taken Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu to the wilderness zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With spatial abilities, training in the wilderness was far more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As elemental psychics, when we activate our abilities, we essentially resonate with elements present in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In normal form, no matter how skilled we are, we still retain our physical bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But elementalization is different—you transform directly into your own ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, whether using your ability or combat techniques, your resonance with the elements is far stronger than in physical form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why you notice a power increase after elementalization.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingli’s crimson lips moved as she explained, “Actually, the boost from elementalization also depends on your ability proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher your proficiency, the greater the enhancement from elementalization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingming, isn’t your Lightning ability proficiency already at the First Realm level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Actually, this is an added ability from the Ninth Level of my Body Strengthening Art—my ability proficiency hasn’t yet reached the Realm stage,” Xu Jingming nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were too many demands for ability points, so even now, his Lightning Realm remained stuck at the First Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Realms are crucial, especially after reaching the Ninth Stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingli warned, “Hu Jinyu’s Realm has reached the Third Level; mine is only the Second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his strength wouldn’t surpass mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” Xu Jingming nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized he should allocate more ability points toward his Realm going forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, Realm comprehension is tied to your level—the higher your level, the easier it becomes to attain higher-level elemental Realms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingli added, “Ninth-Stage Lower-Level psychics usually reach Realms of First or Second Level; Mid-Level reach Third or Fourth; Upper-Level reach Fifth or Sixth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this applies to relatively outstanding Ninth-Stage psychics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some who forcibly ascend through pills or rare treasures never even comprehend a Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? So what’s the maximum number of Realm levels?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know. No one seems to have reached the Realm’s limit yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingli shook her head. “I’ve lost the chance to explore that limit—you might still have a shot, Jingming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her gaze dimmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she, too, had ascended through rare treasures, she had still personally attained the Second Level of Lightning Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was as far as she could go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her level locked, her ultimate achievement was capped at the Second Level—she could advance no further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not necessarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming sensed Su Qingli’s emotional shift and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the Second Civilization emerging, the Red Cloud Fruit that can cure your side effects might still exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that time comes, all your bottlenecks will shatter—you’ll be able to move forward again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After defeating Greene and securing their mission’s objective, Xu Jingming planned to inquire about the Red Cloud Fruit tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Qingli’s heart stirred with a faint ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her father’s disappearance and her ascension as director of the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy, few had shown her such genuine concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then—I’ll wait for your good news tonight, after you defeat Greene.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingli smiled, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem,” Xu Jingming replied, his voice firm and resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-21T05:34:02.410Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","929c3abe6b35acda7e55ce3c2ea80624a274e77d4038388cc32e04ecf991d8ab","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-890","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-888",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
