“Brother, what are you doing!?”
“Do you really want to fight for first place in this academy assessment!?”
When Seraphina heard that Max had chosen not to leave and was skipping this round’s rest period to head straight into the second wave, her inner feelings underwent a sudden shift.
Could it be…
that her brother really wants to fulfill what he just said!?
But how is that possible?
At the current stage, aren’t Puppet Masters completely devoid of combat power!?
And even relying on her own strength, it would be absolutely impossible.
The Holy Light Goddess template is too biased toward support; there’s no way she could clear the second wave alone.
Regarding Seraphina’s doubts, Max was in no hurry to defend himself.
Instead, he unhurriedly cast Detection Technique on all the monsters before him, and soon their data panels appeared in front of him.
[Race: Demon Dog]
[Strength: 15]
[Stamina: 20]
[Agility: 23]
[Intelligence: 7]
…
“The four basic attributes of the second wave’s monsters have actually doubled. It seems they’ve reached the level of monsters in a Tier 1 Hard Dungeon.”
“…”
“For other teams, this sudden change might be overwhelming, but for me… it’s simply too easy.”
After checking the detailed data of the monsters, Max no longer intended to hide his strength.
He directly took out the previously completed Asura Path Pain from his Intermediate Storage Ring.
With a thought, the Asura Path, wearing the Akatsuki Organization uniform and a contemptuous smile, appeared out of thin air before him.
With the appearance of the Asura Path, a look of shock appeared on Seraphina’s face, and she said in disbelief,
“Brother, is this a puppet you made!?”
“But how is this possible!?”
Currently, for anyone who awakens the Puppet Master template during the third-year awakening ceremony, it is very difficult to create a puppet capable of fighting monsters at Tier 1.
There are many reasons for this: expensive materials, difficult construction, and even if one is successfully made…
the puppet might not necessarily be up to the task of fighting monsters.
If even a minor mishap occurs, the Puppet Master themselves could be ambushed by monsters, leading to death.
This is why Puppet Masters are currently so unpopular.
But now…
her brother was actually able to create a puppet at this stage.
Furthermore, it looked no different from a real person…
which in itself was something worth boasting about.
In this day and age, few people could achieve this!
Even if he couldn’t pass the second wave, it wouldn’t matter.
With such talent, Max was destined not to fall into the fate of a background clerical worker in the future.
Instead, he could become a combat class!
Thinking of this, Seraphina felt a surge of joy, far more than any benefit she could have gained for herself.
Boom!
“…”
Before Seraphina could react, the Asura Path Pain standing in front of her suddenly turned into a blur and vanished.
Immediately after, a Demon Dog dozens of meters away instantly exploded into blood.
Without any chance to understand what was happening, the surrounding Demon Dogs began to die one after another at a speed so fast it was impossible for the naked eye to track.
“This!!! The monster was actually one-shot killed!?”
“And the speed, the strength… they far exceed the limits of an ordinary person.” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Seeing the tip of the iceberg of the Asura Path’s strength, the shock on Seraphina’s face intensified.
She had originally thought that it was already a huge surprise that Max’s puppet could even join the battle.
But she never imagined that the puppet’s four attributes would be so terrifying, even exceeding the attribute templates of a normal Tier 3 class advancement…
How on earth did her brother make such a terrifying puppet!?
Keep in mind, this is a puppet he created at his current stage.
If he were given a little more time—one year, two years…
ten years later.
What kind of terrifying puppets would he create then!?
By then, his existence might directly change the stereotype people have regarding the Puppet Master class template.
“Roar!”
A massive beast’s roar rang out, and then a three-meter-long, giant Demon Dog with three heads appeared not far from Max.
As soon as it appeared, it began to continuously emit terrifying demonic energy into its surroundings.
The nearby bushes began to wither at a visible rate.
If they didn’t have class templates, a normal person staying here would likely feel unwell instantly.
But for the Holy Light Goddess, who naturally has resistance to demonic energy, and for Max with his top-tier talent…
This was completely useless.
[Race: Three-headed Magic Dog]
[Strength: 25]
[Stamina: 30]
[Agility: 33]
[Intelligence: 7]
[Skill: Demon Bloodline…]
…
“This should be the boss. It’s just as I expected.”
“Its four attributes are far inferior to those of the Iron-Cutting Cat Beast from before.”
Seeing the data panel of the Three-headed Magic Dog, Max felt a sense of helplessness.
Dealing with this kind of monster…
he actually didn’t need to do much.
But for now, in order to get first place in the final assessment, he still had to clear this wave.
“Brother, this should be the boss. You can’t kill it by relying on attributes alone.”
“It can recover from its injuries through its skills.”
“You control it, and I’ll perform the purification!”
Seeing the Three-headed Magic Dog that suddenly appeared, Seraphina knew she was no match for it yet, so she immediately told Max to be very careful.
This opponent wasn’t like the ordinary Demon Dogs from just now; not only were its attributes higher, but its skill strength had also been greatly enhanced!
To kill it, they would have to cooperate.
Through the natural suppression of the Holy Light Goddess template against monsters, she could perform a purification role.
In her mind, as long as they cooperated well…
It was still possible to pass the second wave.
However, while she was planning the next attack in her mind, Max had already controlled the Asura Path to charge toward the Three-headed Magic Dog, arriving before it like a ghost.
A large number of spikes, like grappling hooks, suddenly exploded from its chest, smashing toward the Demon Dog’s heads.
With a loud thud, the mountain-like Three-Headed Dog was sent flying backward.
Half its body was blown apart, and blood splattered everywhere.
Despite what seemed like a fatal injury…
It actually still had the vitality to recover.
However, before it could, dozens of pitch-black rods were thrown out.
They were all locked onto the Three-Headed Dog’s wounds. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
At the moment of impact, a large amount of flesh began to grow uncontrollably from the Three-Headed Dog’s wounds, but it began to swell in a very unusual manner, finally exploding into a mist of blood.
With that, the second wave was completely over.
“The black rods created by the Rinnegan can directly disrupt a creature’s spirit.”
“Forget about using any skills.”
Looking at the black rods held in the Asura Path’s hands, Max recalled how in the Naruto World, Nagato used these things in conjunction with the Rinnegan.
He used them to remotely control all of the Six Paths of Pain.
Thinking about the other’s ravaged physical condition…
Max felt glad that he only needed to rely on his mental power to control the Six Paths of Pain, and because of the Living Puppet talent…
He could control all puppets on the field…
without needing black rods to boost the signal.
“I wonder how far the production of the Hell Path has progressed.”
“!!!”
Max suddenly remembered that another reason he came to the academy assessment seemed to be to create the Hell Path Pain!
He had just killed dozens of Demon Dogs.
Although the number wasn’t large, it must have contributed at least some progress to the production.
Then, he sank his mind into his body to communicate with the system, and the production screen for the Hell Path soon appeared before him.
[Hell Path Pain]
[Current template material collection progress: 96%]
…
Seeing the material progress that was almost full, Max was overjoyed.
Killing dozens of Demon Dogs had already brought it to 96%.
Next, as long as he could pass the third wave, or even just half of it, he would be able to create the Hell Path Pain!
By then, combined with the already completed Asura Path, his combat index would skyrocket!
Just thinking about it now was very exciting!
“Brother… you’re too strong.”
“With such high Puppet Master talent, why didn’t you tell me right away!”
“You didn’t even tell me, your own sister!”
Seraphina’s mouth puffed out slightly.
From her expression, she was clearly dissatisfied with Max hiding his strength…
After all, she was his sister and currently the person closest to him.
To think he would keep it from her.
Judging by that performance just now, he was completely capable of soloing a Novice Dungeon on Hard, or even Nightmare Difficulty!
What kind of concept was that!?
Seraphina couldn’t even imagine that such an unparalleled genius was actually her brother!
“You didn’t give me a chance to tell you!”
“I don’t care… next time anything happens, you have to tell me right away! Got it!”
“Okay, okay, okay…”
Hearing the coquettish voice in his ear, Max didn’t feel annoyed.
Instead, he felt a warmth all over and was very happy.
“Next, let’s start the full sprint.”
“…”
“For the first place in the academy assessment!”
Just like last time, Max chose to skip this round’s rest period, and soon monsters appeared before them again.
This time, both the quantity and quality of the monsters far exceeded the previous two waves.
Meanwhile, in the teacher observation room of Silveridge City First Middle School, the situations of the various teams participating in the academy assessment were being projected in full.
