“A one-hit instant kill!? Holy crap!? My eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, are they!? How on earth did he do that!?”
“I’m completely stunned. It’s unimaginable, incomprehensible—how did he manage that!!”
“That was a monster that rushed out of a Tier 3 hard dungeon! To be able to kill it… doesn’t that mean his own strength has already far surpassed Tier 3!?”
“Are you kidding me? Even a Tier 2 combat Professional couldn’t pick a fight with a monster a whole tier higher, let alone someone with a Puppet Master template. We’ve definitely seen a ghost today.”
“What is happening to this world!? Is this really the kind of power a Tier 2 Puppet Master can possess!?”
“…”
After witnessing this scene that practically overturned common sense, the people present were filled with deep doubts, and shock appeared on their faces.
Was this some kind of joke?
This was a Puppet Master template!
Recently hailed as the most useless class template, not only is their strength extremely weak among those of the same tier, but the Puppet Masters themselves are also incredibly fragile.
As long as an enemy carries out an assassination, it is absolutely life-threatening.
But right now…
Max, standing before them, had completely overturned their perception.
Not only was the Puppet Master himself standing boldly at the front of the battlefield, but the three puppets he controlled were each incredibly powerful!
“It looks like Silveridge City is about to produce a supreme genius!”
“…”
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, certain that as long as Max didn’t die in the future, he would inevitably become a top-tier genius.
After all, he was only Tier 2!
He was already able to confront monsters of a higher tier than himself…
one could even say he was crushing them!
Being able to achieve this step was extremely rare in the history of The nation.
“Boom!!!”
“…”
Accompanied by a loud bang, the Human Path, who had been standing on the head of the Giant Rock Demon just a moment ago, quickly jumped away.
It then arrived in front of another monster, repeating the same process.
Its right hand pulled out the soul, and after tossing it casually into the air, the monster died instantly, with no way to restore it.
“…”
“The ease with which the Human Path extracts a soul depends on the strength of the enemy. The weaker the enemy, the easier the soul extraction; the stronger the enemy, the opposite is true.”
“It looks very easy, but that’s also because the four-dimensional attributes of the created Six Paths of Pain are very high!”
“If it encounters a more powerful monster, it likely won’t be this easy.”
Watching the Human Path continuously harvesting souls on the battlefield like a phantom, Max felt very proud, but at the same time, he thought of issues to pay attention to in the future.
Although the focus in the future would be on creating Pain, collecting materials to upgrade the already created Pain was also a matter that needed consideration.
Only in this way could Max’s comprehensive strength always overpower his enemies.
No danger.
After silently noting this in his heart, Max wholeheartedly controlled the Human Path, Asura Path, and Hell Path, beginning to clear out the Giant Rock Demons that had escaped from the dungeon nearby.
Because the Human Path had been created, it provided immense assistance to the already powerful Asura Path and Hell Path.
Under Max’s control, the coordination of the three Pains was practically seamless, making it impossible for others to judge or understand with the naked eye.
Almost as soon as the battle began, the enemies were easily killed.
And this undoubtedly solidified the others’ view of Max as being extremely powerful.
After all…
for someone who could control these three puppets so easily, even if their class template was Puppet Master—hailed as the most useless class template—so what!?
How weak could he possibly be!?

At the same time, while Max was still busy with the Tier 3 commission task, the staff inside the Black Dragon Guild received feedback from this period.
They then rushed to the Guild Leader, Beatrice, and began to report.
“Tier 1 commission task: the Magic Scale Ant have all been cleared out. Time taken: one minute.”
“Tier 2 commission task: the Scarlet Fire Magic Lizards have all been cleared out. Time taken: thirty seconds.”
“Tier 1 commission task… time taken: twenty seconds.”
“Tier 1 commission task… time taken: thirty seconds.”
“…”
Listening to her guild subordinates report on the tasks she had just ordered, a hint of shock finally appeared on Beatrice’s calm face…
How many normal Tier 1 awakened could achieve this!?
Not to mention, the other party had only just completed the fusion of their class template; only a few days had passed from zero until now.
And currently…
he was already able to perfectly pass Tier 1 and Tier 2 commission tasks with extreme speed.
For such a person, no matter how arrogant one was, they would sincerely offer the evaluation: a genius!
Only a genius could possibly have such high talent, making others feel surprised…
or even terrified.
“Is this for real!? He’s a Tier 1 Professional… subtracting travel time and various miscellaneous time… that means in less than a few hours, he’s basically completed all the commission tasks he just took!?”
“It’s a bit scary. This isn’t just a genius; it’s a monster. Who takes a commission task and doesn’t go with a whole team? Very few people can solve them alone, let alone a Puppet Master like this.”
“The Black Dragon Guild might become very lively in the future. In less than half a day… he solved all the commission tasks he took. At this rate, we might run out of tasks to give.”
“Terrifying kid. When I was his age, I was still studying in school, yet he’s already become this strong.”
“…”
Upon hearing about Max’s deeds, everyone was deeply shocked.
He had just joined the Black Dragon Guild and already displayed such great power.
As time went on, he might just ‘turn everything upside down.’
“How is that Tier 3 task coming along?”
“He’s already rushed to the scene. I just received news from the client saying that Max is unilaterally crushing the Tier 3 hard dungeon Giant Rock Demons… It’s estimated the commission will be completed very soon.”
“What!?”
…
Hearing that Max had already rushed to the location of the Tier 3 commission task and was suppressing Tier 3 monsters, the originally calm Beatrice could no longer sit still.
She stood up directly from her seat.
Her eyes were full of disbelief.
You had to know, those were monsters from a Tier 3 hard dungeon!
And they were being suppressed by someone who had fused a Puppet Master template!?
If this hadn’t actually happened before her eyes, probably no one would believe it.
“There’s already… a notification that Max has completed the Tier 3 commission task. Time taken: ten minutes.”
“…”
As the staff member’s voice fell, the entire room fell into a long silence.
Everyone’s face was filled with disbelief.
They simply didn’t dare to believe what they had just heard with their own ears.
“Guild Leader, it seems we’ve recruited an extraordinary fellow this time.”
“In the future… Silveridge City is likely to become famous.”
Someone beside Beatrice spoke with some excitement, but before they could continue, Beatrice interrupted them.
“Max is undoubtedly extremely talented. He might be able to help us seize the Tier 4 dungeon that’s about to appear.”
“…”
After Beatrice finished speaking, she walked straight out the door.
No one knew exactly what she was going to do.
And when everyone present heard the term ‘Tier 4 dungeon,’ they immediately understood, and thoughtful expressions appeared on their faces.
At this moment, Max, who had successfully cleared out all the Giant Rock Demons, began to clean up the aftermath.
Ultimately, this Tier 3 commission task was because an anomaly occurred in the Tier 3 hard dungeon, causing all the monsters inside to run out.
So…
by killing them all, he had essentially soloed a Tier 3 hard-level dungeon once.
The resources dropped by the monsters, as well as the various experience points, were not small at all!
Thinking of this, Max directly opened his system panel, and a message box immediately popped up in front of him.
[Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 8000 experience points!]
[Level 17 → 21]
[Obtained 40 free attribute points!]
…
Looking at the level-up pop-up appearing before him, Max felt a surge of joy.
Ever since he successfully changed class to Spirit Manipulator during the Academy Assessment, he had possessed a large amount of experience.
So after the successful class change, his level had jumped from 15 to 17.
Originally, such a level-up speed was already considered very fast, but now…
not even a day had passed, and Max’s level had increased by another four levels!
He had once again obtained 40 free attribute points!
This was simply too great.
If he continued at this speed, by the time the College Entrance Examination ended, his peers might still be stuck at the first advancement stage, while he would have already reached the third!
At that time, perhaps even without relying on the Six Paths of Pain, others would be unable to compete with Max based solely on his personal four-dimensional attributes.
…
He could clearly feel that the gap between him and his peers was widening!
“Just like before, put all free attribute points into Wisdom.”
“…”
Max opened his personal information panel and then directly added all the free attribute points to Wisdom.
Feeling the power emanating from deep within his body,
Max not only felt his thinking become clearer, but even the power of the Rinnegan in both eyes received a huge boost.
He estimated that before long, along with the increase in Wisdom points…
he would undergo a qualitative change.
When that time came, he might be able to control the Six Paths of Pain from a great distance.
“Now, let’s start taking stock of the gains from the battle just now!”
Max controlled the Six Paths of Pain to collect all the equipment and various materials dropped by the Giant Rock Demons he had just killed.
