Around 7:30, there is actually one simple way to determine the location of the final boss – that is to follow the teams from other departments!
After exchanging information, the two immediately parted ways to hunt separately.
Finding information on the final boss's location is one step, but hunting specific monsters is also essential.
As time goes on, fewer and fewer specific monsters can be found, and the rate at which points are accumulated may slow down.
By 6 p.m., the total number of points earned by each branch institute had basically been fixed, and it was difficult for them to increase further.
The students from all grades, who had regrouped in the banquet hall on the first floor, stared in astonishment at the bar charts showing the scores for each grade.
In this year's Academy Cup, the total points for all grades are more than double those of the previous year!
This situation is unprecedented.
This also means that by 6 p.m., the designated resources in the dungeon had already been completely exhausted!

Chapter 1039 One Sword, One Decapitation (Part 1)
With only two hours remaining until the end of the dungeon competition, students from all departments spontaneously gathered in the banquet hall, awaiting the final results.
Duolong and the others also gathered in front of the stage, looking at the bar charts of the scores for each grade with slight nervousness.
The second-year standings now look a bit more even, but the Noble Academy's lead remains significant.
On the other hand, the gap widened further between the third-year Fools' Academy, the fourth-year Magic Academy, and the sixth-year Knight Academy.
This further narrowed the gap between the total score of the House of Nobles and the total score of the other three houses.
At this point, although the Noble Academy still leads in total points, the gap with the Magic Academy has narrowed to less than 20,000 points.
The gap between the Magic Academy and the Knight Academy is now less than 10,000 points. The gap between the Knight Academy and the Fool's Academy, however, is nearly 20,000 points.
Comparing the four houses, the House of Nobles, which has the highest score, is only about 40,000 points higher than the House of Fools, which has the lowest score.
The gap is neither too big nor too small.
If they can hold their ground in these last two hours, they can carry this advantage into the duel match.
But that's without considering the final boss.
Given that the current point difference among the four colleges is no more than 100,000 points.
Whoever defeats the final boss will be the ultimate winner of this dungeon battle.
Even the Fool's House, with the fewest points, has a chance! "In the end, it still comes down to the final boss fight," Doron thought, staring at the screen projection on the stage, his expression slightly grim. The second-year student beside him complained, "Our second-year team had already built such a huge lead, but this is the result!"
Even Pistan couldn't help but say, "In previous years, our seniors were very competitive."
Doron said, "It's not that they're too weak, it's that their opponents are too strong. Let's see what the final boss is like! This year's battle for the final boss will definitely be different from previous years."
Pistan nodded and said, "It's probably different. It's only six o'clock, and the scores of all the teams have almost stopped increasing. This means they've cleared out all the designated monsters in the dungeon. And looking at the total scores, there aren't many of those hundred quest bosses left. They've lost their hunting targets, and they're probably already gathered on the floor where the final boss might appear..."
Doron said, "Indeed. In that case, the final boss battle will likely become a joint battle between the five grades."
Pistan said with some concern, "In that case, wouldn't it depend on overall strength?"
Doron said, "Theoretically, it depends on overall strength, but it's not certain. After all, the final boss's points won't be evenly distributed; whoever kills him last will get the 100,000 points. Therefore, if an individual's strength is outstanding enough, it's also possible to snatch the last kill."
Pistan said, "You're right. But then, wouldn't the Knights' Council have the greatest advantage?"
"It's true, though I hate to admit it," Doron said. The strongest member of the Knights Academy is Noah Sharp, the "Baron of the Night," a sixth-year student.
However, the strongest member of the House of Nobles is Dark Dimon, the "Star Child" in his second year.
The grade gap between sixth grade and second grade is too large.
Even though Doron, Pistan, and others trust Darke completely, it must be admitted that Noah Sharp has a higher chance of getting the final boss kill.
Not only them, but most of the others present shared similar thoughts. Therefore, although the Knight Academy's points only ranked third, the students of the Knight Academy were already showing signs of excitement.
The "Baron of the Night" has always been number one in strength and reputation in his grade. This year, the only one who can rival him is the "Silver Dragon Girl" Pandora Drogon, who is in the fifth year.
However, as always, "Silver Dragon Girl" did not participate in this year's Dungeon Fighter Tournament.
The Knights Academy had initially believed that even without the final boss's 100,000 points, they were a shoo-in for first place. This result, however, has far exceeded their expectations.
But it doesn't matter, "Baron of the Night" will take action!
relatively.
The students of the House of Fools seemed very nervous.
They are currently in fourth place, a full 40,000 points behind the House of Nobles in first place, and they don't have a stabilizing force like the "Baron of the Night".
In fact, Benjamin Leopold's sudden rise to prominence in the third grade was unexpected.
Without Benjamin Leopold, the Fool's House might have fallen behind the Noble House by 100,000 points before even reaching the final boss!
If that happens, then there's truly nothing that can be done.
The current situation is actually developing in a positive direction. However, they have to consider the consequences of losing another 100,000 points. "If the final boss is snatched away by the Noble Academy, the gap between our academy and the Noble Academy will widen to 140,000 points."
"In that case, in the subsequent duel competition, we would have to win by a margin of more than 40,000 points over the Noble Academy to have any chance of winning the Academy Cup."
“There is a theoretical possibility of winning the championship…” The students of the House of Fools were almost in despair.
Fortunately, their will is strong enough that they will not back down as long as there is a theoretical possibility.
Meanwhile, at the Magic Academy...
The Magic Academy ranks second in points, less than 20,000 points behind the Noble Academy. Even if the Noble Academy wins the final boss, they will only be less than 120,000 points apart.
The difference between 120,000 and 140,000 points may seem like only 10,000 points. However, gaining 10,000 more points in a duel is more than ten times more difficult than gaining 10,000 points in a dungeon duel.
The House of Fools needs to win five more duels, while the House of Nobles only needs to win two more. Originally, the House of Nobles needed to win at least one more duel to achieve final victory in the dueling tournament, but now it only needs a maximum of two.
Their linchpin, the "Silver Dragon Girl," hasn't even made her move yet. With the "Daughter of Winter" and the "Silver Dragon Girl" on the field, the Magic Academy's dominance in duels is beyond question.
They were full of confidence and determined to win.
Of course, it would be best if the final boss's 100,000 points also ended up in the hands of the Magic Academy!
That makes it even more secure!
As the students of the four colleges were diligently calculating the integral bar chart, the integral bar representing the second-year Noble College suddenly rose another level! The gap between the Noble College and the Magic College widened dramatically to 30,000! And the gap with the Knight College was 40,000.
The gap between them and the Fool's House is 60,000! "Surpass!"
A chorus of curses erupted in the banquet hall.
Only the students of the Noble Academy had their eyes light up, and they all showed excited smiles.
Inside the underground city.
But at that moment, Dark Dimon killed another quest boss with 15,000 points!
"Still no clues."
After taking the materials dropped by the quest boss, Dark couldn't help but sigh.
He's hunted down quite a few quest bosses. But his luck has been terrible; he hasn't gotten any clues about the final boss from them yet.
Currently, besides the clues obtained through his own analysis and investigation, the only other information he received was from a sixth-grade student, which led him to pinpoint the final boss's spawn location as the 56th floor.
"It's six o'clock... Let's go somewhere else."
Dark took one last look at the small world where the designated monster could no longer be found, then mounted the "Fossil Pteranodon" and sped away.
Shortly after, he returned to the safe zone on this floor, took out the [Door Key (56)], and prepared to go directly to the fifty-sixth floor.
"If I remember correctly, there's also a specific monster called 'Elemental Statue' on the fifty-sixth floor."
"The other teams from the second year will likely have a hard time navigating the fifty-sixth floor; there's a high probability that the 'Elemental Statue' is still standing."
After a brief analysis, Darke channeled magic into the "Door Key," casually drew a circle, and opened the portal to the fifty-sixth floor.
He then stepped into the portal and arrived at the fifty-sixth floor once again.
"Good, there's no one else."
Dark looked around, then summoned the "Fossil Aerial Dragon" again, and quickly mounted it, flying towards the small world on the fifty-sixth floor.
The fifty-sixth floor is not a desert like the sixty-second floor; this floor's microcosm is filled with ancient ruins.
Those ancient ruins are all stone buildings. Although they are broken walls and ruins, they also contain a large amount of rock-based energy.
The rock system and the terrestrial system are usually not separated; where there is a rock system, there is a terrestrial system.
Therefore, in this small world of the fifty-sixth floor, the earth element is abundant, and there are many rock-type and ground-type monsters.
In addition, there are a considerable number of Psychic-type monsters and sub-dragons. The "Elemental Statue" is a dual-type monster, combining Rock and Psychic attributes. After a moment's thought, Dark decided that while hunting the "Elemental Statue," he would also hunt down all the "Rock Mountain Dragons" he encountered!
By killing all the "Rock Mountain Dragons" and using their horns or the shell plates of the "Earth Dragon Turtle" to locate them, you can more accurately mark the "Mountain-Suppressing Dragon"!
At seven o'clock sharp.
Dark killed almost all the "Elemental Statues" and "Rock Mountain Dragons" in the fifty-sixth floor.
He summoned "Greedy Slime 2i" half an hour ago to try to search, but failed to find any "Rock Mountain Dragon".
"In this way, once the appointed time arrives, if 'Greedy Slime 2i' senses something again, we can be fairly certain that it is indeed the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon'!"
“But for the next half hour, it seemed there was nowhere to go…” Dak sat on the back of the “Fossil Pteranodon” and began to wander aimlessly in the air.
Unfortunately, he found that he couldn't find any specific monsters to hunt.
The other bosses on this floor are most likely gone too. This last half hour will just be a waste of time.
But he wasn't anxious.
Since he was forced to waste time, the other contestants must be in a similar situation.
It now seems that the number of monster types specified by the academy in the "Monster Points Handbook" is indeed somewhat limited.
But after glancing at the score sheet, he felt rather helpless.
It's possible that the college's planning was flawed, but rather that this year's students are simply inhuman!
When he met students from other grades of the academy, he occasionally compared his points and found that the upperclassmen had earned significantly more points than the previous year.
This was probably something the college hadn't anticipated either. 7:15.
Dak spent the last of his time analyzing the terrain.
By analyzing the terrain, several coordinates that are most likely to spawn the "Mountain-Suppressing Dragon" were identified.
The sixth-grade team had virtually no difficulty defeating the final boss. He could roughly predict that the sixth-grade team should have reunited by now, and when they met again, they would most likely be in groups of three.
Two minutes later.
A sound suddenly came from an empty area.
Dark was pulled into the barrier and discovered that the trio from the sixth-year noble academy were hiding inside.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful and stay hidden?"
The sixth-grade student I had met before immediately frowned.
Dark was actually somewhat surprised; he had been careful to "hide." But he hadn't expected the sixth-year students to be this good at concealing themselves...
"Never mind," the senior student sighed after speaking. "The time left over from this competition for searching for clues is far too long; most of them have probably already entered this level. It'll just be a matter of luck who gets closer to the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon's' spawn location."
Dark said, "In that case, let's split up. I'll go to the other side."
The senior student glanced at him and said, "This is what I mean. The fifth-grade team is in this direction, we sixth graders stay here, and you go there, forming a triangle. When the time comes, if you're closest to the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon,' then it's all up to you!"
Dak nodded, indicating that he understood: "No problem."
Then he said goodbye to the three sixth-grade seniors and flew off in that direction.
After he disappeared, one of the sixth-graders suddenly said, "The dragon that Junior Dimon was riding, was it from the fourth tier?"
Another person patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't doubt it, it's a twelve-star magical spirit."
The senior student suddenly smiled and said, "Twelve-star dragon species, this is a great thing for us. Maybe we can graduate this year without any regrets."
Another person couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's make one last wish upon the Holy Grail and get a unique souvenir."
The senior student said, "Opening champagne at the halfway point is a no-no." But the laughter continued.
Dark quickly arrived at the location indicated by the sixth-year students. He swiftly descended, using the "Fossil Pteranodon's" "Silent as an Ancient Tomb" ability to conceal himself, and waited patiently.
