Is this the spiritual potential genius you spoke of?

Chen Ming calmed his mind.

Soon, a gradually clearing domain began to appear within his consciousness.

A void of space.

Its size was quite limited, roughly that of a single room.

So this is the mental space.

Chen Ming felt quite intrigued.

He reached out and picked up the Power Longblade resting on his nightstand.

The next second, the longblade vanished from his hand instantly.

It had appeared within his mental space.

Leveling up in the wild and running dungeons will be much more convenient from now on.

He would no longer need to personally carry equipment, beast cores, or various resources.

I must be the first person to open up a mental space right after changing classes.

Normally, at this stage, other class-changers of his age were still a long way from awakening their mental space.

Except for a few geniuses, most people were likely still below 10% at this current stage.

Even someone as strong as Qin Zhixue currently only had a mental potential value of 15%.

She was still quite a distance away from 20%.

Furthermore, the cultivation of mental potential relied purely on individual talent.

Some class-changers with poor mental aptitude might never even reach 20% in their entire lives.

Let me test the mental detection ability as well.

Mental detection was actually an ability that all class-changers possessed.

It was just that after mental power reached 20%, it was said to receive a massive enhancement.

Chen Ming mobilized his mental power and looked toward his room.

The next second, the world before his eyes looked completely different.

Everything around him was visible in minute detail.

This sensation was as if his vision had been magnified countless times while his insight had simultaneously seen a leap in improvement.

The entire room was as clear as the lines on his own palm to Chen Ming.

It's completely different.

Compared to the mental detection before reaching 20%, these were simply two different concepts.

Previously, it was at most for checking information on exotic beasts or equipment.

The current level could fully be classified as a combat ability.

With the blessing of what was almost a god's-eye view, his reaction and adaptability in battle would surely be greatly enhanced.

Tsk tsk.

Look at the swirling of fine dust, the subtle trembling of the curtains, and the strands of sunlight—everything was captured in his view.

Wait...

Why is the sunlight so bright? What time is it?

He picked up his phone to check.

11:05 AM!

Holy crap!

How had half the day already passed?

City outskirts.

Chen Ming hurried over.

He hadn't expected that his cultivation to reach 20% mental power would make him so "engrossed."

He had spent the entire morning training away.

At this moment, one could see groups of people returning to the city border one after another.

These people had already finished their morning leveling and were returning to recover their state, preparing to fight again in the afternoon.

Chen Ming's arrival immediately attracted the gazes of many.

The higher one's ranking, the more attention one naturally received.

Not to mention that it was Chen Ming.

A C-rank Shield Guard who was "below one, above ten thousand" in the Cloud Sea City rankings on the first day.

"Hey, look, Chen Ming is here!"

"Damn, don't tell me he... just got here?"

"Seriously, showing up at this hour during the Grand Exam? How thick-skinned can he be to slack off like this?"

It was only the second day of the Grand Exam, and everyone was desperate to squeeze out every second to level up.

Yet this guy, he didn't show up until high noon.

"Is he acting so bold because he's used to being carried by Qin Zhixue?"

"No, that's not it. I specifically checked this morning; Qin Zhixue didn't come with Chen Ming today. She entered the Exotic Beast Forest with another girl."

"Haha, she must have finally gotten tired of dragging him along."

"Just wait, his ranking is probably going to plummet today."

On a high-rise building not far away.

Several principals and an inspector noticed the 'belated' Chen Ming as well.

"Is this the mental potential genius you were talking about?"

A genius who sleeps in?

The inspector didn't turn his head, but the Mechanical Crow on his shoulder swiveled to stare at Principal Zhou.

Principal Zhou broke into a cold sweat and swallowed hard.

He had just finished telling the inspector about Chen Ming, and now, the boy had arrived.

But he wasn't returning from outside the city; he was walking in from within the city limits.

A few sneers came from behind him.

The other principals shook their heads one after another as they witnessed this.

"To think someone like this was teamed up with Qin Zhixue, sigh..."

"It's truly a disgrace to our Cloud Sea City. Second place on the first day, yet so lazy and devoid of ambition."

"I had originally thought that if Qin Zhixue insisted on carrying this Chen Ming, it wouldn't hurt to let him join the Abyss Squad for a few dungeons, but looking at this now, that would be inappropriate..."

Hearing these remarks, Principal Zhou couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard the inspector let out a surprised grunt.

"Interesting, this kid has already broken through 20% mental power."

20%?!

Principal Zhou was stunned by these words and looked out the window.

He saw Chen Ming, not far away, suddenly seem to sense something; he actually turned his head and glanced in their direction.

Why do I feel like a powerful presence is watching me?

Chen Ming looked toward the distant high-rise with a puzzled expression.

He had suddenly felt a prickling sensation on his back, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.

Forget it, leveling up is the priority.

He didn't dwell on it and walked out of the city alone.

This action, witnessed by the crowd, sparked another round of discussion.

Yesterday, when he left the city alone, not many people paid attention.

Today was different.

"What is Chen Ming doing? Heading out of the city to level up alone? He's got some nerve."

"Heh, he's probably out of options..."

"Qin Zhixue isn't carrying him anymore. Who would team up with him now? What else can he do but go alone?"

"How pathetic."

"Pathetic? He brought this on himself."

"The direction he's heading in... that looks like the Breeze Jungle."

When they saw the direction Chen Ming was heading, the crowd let out a collective sigh.

The Breeze Jungle was mostly populated by level 1 and 2 exotic beasts.

What level 3 class-advancer would choose a place like that?

As for whether Chen Ming was heading outside the safe zone, that didn't even cross their minds.

Let alone a level 3 class-advancer, even a level 10 class-advancer wouldn't dare to easily set foot into the Exotic Beast Forest beyond the safe zone.

In the crowd, two people watched the direction Chen Ming had taken, their expressions shifting.

"So he really is Chen Ming!"

These two were the very same duo who had witnessed Chen Ming soloing the Breeze Jungle with their own eyes yesterday.

Initially, upon seeing that the second-ranked player possessed a C-rank class, they had suspected that the ruthless expert they saw yesterday was indeed Chen Ming.

However, everyone around them kept saying that Chen Ming was someone who teamed up with Qin Zhixue, which made them doubt their conclusion.

After all, "that person" was a lone wolf who fought solo.

"Doesn't that mean..."

The two exchanged a glance, unable to hide their shock.

After exiting the city and reaching the outskirts.

Chen Ming continued along the same route he had taken yesterday.

"I need to pick up the pace today."

His original plan was to maintain the same leveling speed and reach level 5 today.

That way, he could go and see what that "Comprehensive Dungeon" was all about.

But since half a day had already been wasted, he needed to make up for lost time.

After all, the level rankings for the seven days leading up to the Grand Exam were settled at 18:00, and Chen Ming did not want to drop out of the top three today.

He was still counting on the rewards of rare resources.
