They all believed that Seraphina had soloed the third and fourth waves of the Academy Assessment, directly breaking the record of Silveridge City First Middle School since its founding.
It was truly a day of miracles!
“Seraphina… I didn’t expect you to be so strong, to actually pass the third and fourth waves of the Academy Assessment! This surely takes more than just the Goddess of Light template.”
“The monsters in the third wave were at the intensity of a First-Order Nightmare Dungeon, while the fourth wave was already at Second-Order Hard Dungeon intensity… To pass these waves… it requires more than just a powerful profession template; it requires day and night practice and a supply of resources!”
“Could it be that Seraphina’s family is a prestigious clan!? Otherwise, how could she have so many resources for cultivation!? To have reached the level of a Second-Order Professional in such a short time!?”
“Too strong. Compared to her, I don’t even feel human. She’s so powerful it makes one feel helpless.”
“Without a doubt, Seraphina will be the face of our Silveridge City in the future… As long as she doesn’t fall, she’ll definitely become a Seventh-Order Venerable level existence.”
“It turns out what Max said back then… wasn’t a boast. They really did come to take first place…”
Many students did not choose to leave immediately after passing their Academy Assessment.
Instead, they stood near the rune stone, waiting quietly.
When Seraphina emerged, it immediately sparked a heated discussion.
Within the crowd, Leo Vance even stepped forward to congratulate Seraphina, saying joyfully,
“Seraphina, I didn’t expect you to be so strong! Now that the assessment is over, where is Brother Max!?”
“Why haven’t I seen him!?”
Leo Vance was all smiles now.
He had originally been angry because Gideon Thorne had deliberately mocked Max earlier, but now Seraphina had seemingly passed the fourth wave of the Academy Assessment.
This didn’t just break the record for the third wave at Silveridge City First Middle School; her momentum hadn’t slowed as she charged through the fourth wave…
It was already a miracle.
It was a fierce slap to Gideon Thorne’s face.
“He’s still inside, and he’s preparing to solo the fifth wave.”
“Also, this Academy Assessment wasn’t passed because of me, including the third and fourth waves.”
“…”
Seraphina answered Leo Vance’s question, then turned her gaze toward the rune stone.
Seeing that the countdown for the start of the fifth wave was less than a minute away,
She was also very nervous in her heart.
“You’re joking, right… Didn’t Brother Max awaken a Puppet Master template!?”
“How could a Puppet Master have combat power at this stage!?”
“Let alone being able to solo it… how is that possible!?”
Leo Vance’s heart was instantly filled with deep doubts upon hearing Seraphina’s words, but then he observed that Max had indeed not come out from the rune stone.
His heart was even more shocked!
Could it be that Max really wants to challenge the fifth wave!?
Is he crazy!?
“He must be insane. Max actually didn’t come out!? Does he really want to fight the monsters spawned in the fifth wave!?”
“The quality of monsters in the fifth wave is already at the level of a Second-Order Nightmare Dungeon… not to mention he’s alone and has a Puppet Master profession template!? No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible. It’ll be a miracle if he can even come out alive!”
“That’s true. Max only has a Puppet Master template; that template alone makes it impossible… At this stage, being able to manufacture a puppet is already quite good.”
“…Impossible, absolutely impossible. If Max can pass this fifth wave of the Academy Assessment, I’ll eat shit!”
“Hilarious. What exactly is Max doing!? He doesn’t really think he can solo the fifth wave, does he? How arrogant!”
“…”
When everyone learned that Max had not chosen to leave the Academy Assessment and was preparing to continue attempting the fifth wave, they were all dumbfounded…
Logically speaking, didn’t Max awaken a Puppet Master template back then!?
At this stage, let alone soloing the fifth wave, even passing the first wave alone would be an impossible feat.
“Hehe… still pretending even now!? Does he really think a Puppet Master can pass the fifth wave!?”
“…”
Although Gideon Thorne hadn’t secured the first place in this Academy Assessment, after learning that Max intended to solo the upcoming fifth wave,
He couldn’t help but mock him.
In his view, the other party was just preparing to show off.
How could anyone solo the fifth wave of the Academy Assessment at this stage!?
It was purely an act!
There was absolutely no possibility!
If the other party could pass this fifth wave, it wouldn’t just be shocking; it would be a miracle!
Meanwhile, just as all the students of Silveridge City First Middle School were preparing to watch the drama surrounding Max, in the principal’s office, the teachers observing the real situation inside the Academy Assessment via screen projection showed various expressions.
They had all been stunned by the strength Max had displayed…
Those two puppets wearing black uniforms with red clouds…
had repeatedly shattered their preconceptions.
Many times, monsters that the academy teachers deemed impossible to kill were easily slain!
Right now, Max had become the absolute focus.
All the teachers and observers from prestigious schools were waiting for Max’s performance in the final wave.
“If I hadn’t seen Max’s situation myself, I really couldn’t imagine a Puppet Master being able to reach this step. It’s simply a miracle!”
“Not to mention the ability to control two puppets at this stage, he actually managed to pass the third and fourth waves with solo strength… Even some Third-Order Professionals couldn’t achieve this!”
“So strong it feels surreal! I can already imagine that a legend will emerge in The nation in the future!”
“It really is a miracle… Who would have thought a Puppet Master could reach this point!?”
“Hopefully, the fifth wave will bring more surprises!”
Although Max’s previous performance was brilliant and he seemed to have the strength to continue with the fifth wave, the teachers present…
still reserved their opinions on whether Max could pass.
After all, starting from the fifth wave, the strength of the monsters about to spawn would be directly equivalent to a Second-Order Nightmare Dungeon!
And a Second-Order Nightmare Dungeon…
even a Second-Order squad with extremely strong comprehensive strength and long-term coordination might not necessarily pass.
Could Max, a First-Order Puppet Master, pass it!?
Regarding this, doubts still existed in the hearts of those present; they didn’t dare to guarantee it.
“This Max… regardless of whether he can pass the fifth wave assessment, our school will extend an olive branch to him.”
“He is welcome to enter our… Imperial early.”
Albert stein sat on the sofa, liking Max more and more as he watched him on the screen.
To possess such strength at this stage…
there were very few such cases in the history of the Nation during the same period.
If he could be recruited into Imperial, it would surely continue Imperial’s glory.
As for passing the fifth wave!?
That wasn’t very important.
After all, being able to pass a Second-Order Nightmare Dungeon as a First-Order Professional was a dreamlike concept in itself.
It was impossible to achieve.
Right now, in Albert stein’s eyes, Max was merely testing where his limits were.
“One of The Union’s top universities has already extended an olive branch!”
“Max’s future is secure!” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
“Definitely secure… Once the major prestigious schools learn the results of this Academy Assessment, they will all send invitations to Max.”
“Next will surely be a war to recruit him…”
“I didn’t expect such a student to come out of our Silveridge City First Middle School. It’s truly a great blessing!”
“Indeed!”
…
At this moment, Max, still inside the assessment dungeon, had no idea that the outside world was closely following his next performance in the fifth wave.
He just wanted to see…
exactly how much power the two Pains possessed.
And how far they could take him!
[Ding-dong! The rest period for this round has ended. Automatically skipping to the next round of assessment.]
…
As the prompt ended, a large number of monsters over three meters tall, exuding demonic energy, quickly appeared dozens of meters in front of Max.
They had minotaur bodies and blood-red eyes.
Some stronger ones…
even wore simple breastplates and held sharp axes.
Seeing this, Max immediately cast a Detection Technique forward to observe the four-dimensional attributes of this round’s monsters.
[Race: Magic Minotaur]
[Strength: 152]
[Stamina: 195]
[Agility: 76]
[Intelligence: 35]
[Skills: Cleave, Berserk…]
…
“Two attributes nearly reached two hundred points. It looks like I won’t be able to one-shot them anymore.”
“I have to show some real strength.”
After Max finished reading the monsters’ attribute panel, he immediately controlled the Asura Path.
Following his mental command, the flesh at the Asura Path’s neck suddenly began to writhe, and a second face instantly grew out…
Simultaneously, arms grew from its chest and back.
A few minutes later, the Asura Path had transformed into a being with Three Heads and Six Arms.
A very long saw-blade extended from its back, gleaming and looking quite terrifying.
Just as the Asura Path controlled by Max underwent its transformation…
The eyes of all the surrounding Magic Minotaurs turned blood-red, and their bodies surged with blood energy as they charged fiercely toward Max.
Roars echoed throughout the assessment dungeon.
A normal First-Order Professional would likely give up attacking out of fear upon seeing such a scene.
But for Max…
this was a minor situation.
“Prison Yama!”
As the Hell Path vanished into thin air, it pulled the charging Magic Minotaur into a technique.
A giant Prison Yama head was summoned out of thin air, forcibly entering a suppressed state.
Before it could resist, the giant blade behind the Asura Path plunged into its abdomen.
Blood gushed out as if it cost nothing.
