“I’m sorry, but although we really want to join the Black Dragon Guild, we didn’t clear that Nightmare Dungeon through our own strength.”
“It was another Professional who is a Puppet Master.”
“…”
Marcus didn’t hide anything for the sake of future convenience in the Black Dragon Guild; instead, he recounted everything they saw in the Nightmare Dungeon in detail.
His description of the Asura Path puppet owned by Max was particularly detailed.
It wore a uniform with red clouds on a black background and had various unknown black rods inserted into its body.
Although it was a puppet, it possessed agility no less than a real person and four-dimensional attributes far exceeding others of the same level.
Looking at the entire…
current batch of students, there were probably fewer than five people who could stand on par with him.
He was simply a living monster.
“A Puppet Master!? Do you even know what you’re saying!?”
“Someone with that class template can’t even produce a single puppet at this stage.”
“…How could they possibly have the strength you just described!?”
Upon hearing Marcus’s words, the members of the Black Dragon Guild all showed expressions of doubt.
Was this a joke?
Someone with a Puppet Master template soloing a Nightmare-level dungeon for the first time?
Not only did they not believe it, but no one on the street would believe such a thing either.
It was simply too bizarre.
It was unacceptable to them.
“Whether you believe it or not, the fact is that the three of us had to give our all just to deal with the ordinary monsters in the Nightmare Dungeon.”
“But for him… the boss was instantly killed.”
Marcus continued, and as soon as he mentioned that Max could insta-kill a Nightmare-level dungeon boss, the expressions of the Black Dragon Guild members changed repeatedly.
Not only clearing a Nightmare Dungeon for the first time…
but also a one-hit kill on the final boss?
Are you sure this isn’t bragging!?
How could someone have such ridiculous four-dimensional attributes and combat power right after their class awakening!?
He didn’t sound human; he sounded like a demon.
But for now, they couldn’t determine if what the group said was true.
The only certainty was that there was definitely something wrong with that Puppet Master who entered the dungeon at the same time as them.
It seemed they needed to pay him a visit.
“Go and check the true identity of that Puppet Master who just entered the Nightmare Dungeon over the next few days.”
“If the investigation confirms that his strength is indeed as they said, we must recruit him.”
Seeing that the people in front of her were unwilling to take all the credit to join the Black Dragon Guild, Beatrice did not continue her recruitment attempt.
After all, they wouldn’t recruit people without strength.
If someone without strength were allowed into the guild, they would definitely have a hard time.
“Yes!”
Hearing Beatrice’s words, the members of the Black Dragon Guild immediately nodded and prepared to head out to find information about Max. Find the original chapter at g.com.
About five hours later, Max, who had already exchanged 1.7 million alliance coins in the trading market for the materials to create Hell Path Pain…
returned home with a face full of excitement.
He was ready to start the production of the second of the Six Paths of Pain.
After closing the bedroom door as usual, Max immediately clicked on the production interface for Hell Path Pain.
After placing all the materials he had just bought with alliance coins onto it…
The template information in front of him suddenly changed.
Most of the originally required materials vanished…
leaving only the final item: a large amount of souls.
Once this last material was gathered, he could directly create the Hell Path and obtain all the Rinnegan abilities associated with it.
But this material was both simple and difficult to obtain.
…A large amount of souls meant he needed to clear many dungeons and use the souls of the monsters he killed to create the Hell Path.
This would undoubtedly cost Max a lot of time and money.
But compared to the result, these efforts were nothing.
Just as Max was thinking about grinding Nightmare-level dungeons a few more times in the coming days, his bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in.
Looking closely, it was actually his younger sister…
Seraphina.
The moment he saw her, Max began to feel troubled.
It seemed he wouldn’t be able to escape her sharp tongue today.
…
However, just as he was wondering how she would mock him, Seraphina spoke.
“Big brother, do you know about the Academy Assessment in a few days?”
As soon as she spoke, Max remembered the matter.
His thoughts quickly unfolded, and he instinctively replied.
“I remember the homeroom teacher mentioned it in class. If you can get first place in the Academy Assessment…”
“You can receive Grade 5 dungeon materials gifted in the school’s name without paying for them… and it’s possible to have top universities extend an olive branch.”
As for the first-place reward, the Grade 5 dungeon materials…
Max was determined to get them.
After all, his production of the Six Paths of Pain relied heavily on a large amount of monster materials.
If he could pick a large amount of materials from a Grade 5 dungeon…
then he could try to create Animal Path Pain, which he currently didn’t dare to think about.
Once the materials were gathered, he could directly create Animal Path Pain, and his overall combat power would then begin to increase at a geometric rate.
“You’re thinking too much… Those who can take first place are usually teams formed by the top-ranked students in the year…”
“And those people won’t look for a Puppet Master for their team.”
Looking at Max, Seraphina couldn’t help but poke his sore spot.
After all, the Academy Assessment every year was participated in as teams.
Besides a proficiency test, there was also a selection test.
Normal students only needed to pass the proficiency test to smoothly enter the College Entrance Examination…
while some top students could take this opportunity to gain some assistance before the exam arrived.
They could use impressive maneuvers or powerful class templates to attract teachers from top universities for early recruitment. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
Therefore, the Academy Assessment was also an assessment with a huge disparity in skill levels.
“…”
“Then how are your preparations going? Since you awakened the Holy Light Goddess class template, you shouldn’t lack opportunities to join a top team.”
“Congratulations in advance on being admitted to a famous school.”
Max felt a bit helpless.
He didn’t expect the matter of him being a Puppet Master to be brought up again…
Just wait until he finished making all the Six Paths of Pain.
When that time comes, you won’t think this way anymore.
“I don’t have much desire for early admission. This time, I’m just going to the Academy Assessment to slack off.”
“As for you, I heard that no one has teamed up with you yet.”
“Without a team, you’ll be judged as having failed this Academy Assessment. Then you won’t be able to graduate… you won’t get a certificate… and you won’t be able to work.”
Seraphina spoke in a reminding tone, a faint, imperceptible blush appearing on her face.
“No team!? Directly judged as failing the Academy Assessment!?”
“What kind of twisted logic is that?”
Hearing what Seraphina said, Max felt a sense of helplessness.
Failing the Academy Assessment was far more complicated than it seemed on the surface.
As long as one was judged not to have graduated from the academy…
then they wouldn’t have the Professional Certificate issued by the state.
At that time, it would be impossible to participate in monster dungeons of Grade 3 or higher independently.
When the time came…
obtaining the materials to create the Six Paths of Pain would be a bit troublesome.
Thinking about it this way, he still needed to form a temporary team.
It was quite a hassle.
“Looking at you, you definitely didn’t think of this.”
“Don’t worry, I happen to not have a team either. Why don’t the two of us team up?”
“The two of us teaming up!? That’s not out of the question…”
“Then it’s settled. See you at school the day after tomorrow!”
Hearing Max agree to her request to team up, Seraphina immediately turned around and walked out of the bedroom, leaving Max standing there in a daze.
“Why do I feel like… there’s a bit of a conspiracy here?”
“But strangely enough, I have no way to refuse.”
Max shook his head helplessly.
Speaking of which, everything currently had to pave the way for creating the Six Paths of Pain.
Before he could successfully create Deva Path Pain…
He needed to climb up step by step honestly.
Thinking of this, Max opened his system panel again.
After checking the production progress of Hell Path Pain several times, he turned off the light, lay on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.
