When the contestants encountered teams of the same grade in different regions, they immediately realized that they had no advantage.
Therefore, they became even more eager to obtain extra points. Between 8 PM and midnight.
Teams from all grades rested for a maximum of two hours before immediately setting off on the hunt.
The students outside were focused on the score changes and thought the kids were risking their lives. But they themselves knew very well that they couldn't afford to be complacent in this Dungeon Fighter Online tournament!
Firstly, the competitors in the same grade are incredibly competitive. It seems that if they slack off even slightly, they will fall far behind.
If it happens to me, it's one thing, but if I drag down the other grades and they end up losing, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my head up high for a long time afterward.

Secondly...
Many of the contestants in this year's competition have actually been recruited into "The Hidden Serpent".
They were all very clear that the new dueling rules would completely change the order, and this year's Academy Cup might be the last Academy Cup.
Even if it's not the last one, there will definitely be huge changes to the rules. If you don't give it your all this time, you might really never have another chance! It'll happen soon.
Amidst the unprecedentedly fierce competition, time crossed midnight and Sunday arrived.
As the efficiency of hunting designated monsters decreased, the contestants shifted their focus to hunting mission bosses.
The total number of 100 mission bosses began to decrease at a very rapid pace.
After a chance encounter with Diana and Rose, Dark quickly shifted his focus to hunting down the mission boss.
But as the entire grade joined the competition, his advantage diminished.
It's half past three in the morning.
After resting for an hour, Dark entered the fiftieth floor and began searching for the final boss with 100,000 points ahead of schedule.
"Why isn't my cough getting better? Cough, cough, cough!"

The final boss's appearance time is locked in the last half hour of this competition.
However, by hunting down the other mission bosses and perhaps solving some of the puzzles set up by the professors, one can obtain clues such as the location of the final mission boss.
However, archmages have a wide range of knowledge and are not limited to obtaining clues through this fixed method.
At least Darko Dimon never considered using this "puzzle-like" method to obtain clues.
Based on past experience, the final boss will always appear below the fiftieth floor, and occasionally even below the sixtieth floor.
This at least narrows down the floor range where the final boss can be located. And at the start of the competition, each participant receives information about the final boss—its name!
Knowing the name of the final boss is actually very important. This allows you to understand the boss's various habits and even deduce its subordinate race.
By analyzing its habits or finding its subordinate groups, we can pinpoint its location from another perspective.
These are all basic skills for the contestants. They mostly use this method to find the other mission bosses as well.
However, once the entire grade begins to shift their focus to hunting mission bosses, some teams will find, embarrassingly, that the mission boss they painstakingly selected has already been hunted down by someone else, thus wasting their time.
They could certainly analyze this possibility.
Therefore, after midnight, when teams from different departments meet again, they will exchange boss information to confirm which mission bosses have been killed and which may still be alive.
Dak had exchanged information with the fifth-year noble academy team, which saved him a lot of trouble.
What he's preparing to do now is to find the lower race of the final boss!
He was well aware that his biggest disadvantage was his understanding of the underground city environment, which was far inferior to that of the upperclassmen in other years.
Therefore, it's difficult to outcompete older students when hunting quest bosses. However, if the target is the final quest boss with a fixed respawn time, he has a significant advantage.
Once you find the lower-ranking race of the final boss and collect the special materials that the final boss also possesses, you can rely on "Greedy Slime 2". After the final boss spawns, pinpoint its location and find it as quickly as possible!
"The final boss of this year's Dungeon Fighter Online tournament is the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon'."
"The 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon' has a dragon's head, a turtle's body, and carries mountains on its back. It possesses both dragon and rock attributes, moves slowly but has a tough defense, and has mastered the ultimate move 'Mountain Moving,' which allows it to teleport instantly and crush its opponents with mountains."
"Leaving aside the strength of the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon,' its lower-level species are numerous, the most common being the 'Rock Turtle.' However, due to their distant bloodline, it's estimated that they cannot use the 'Greedy Slime 2's' special attack to assist in positioning."
"The creature most similar to the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon' is probably the 'Earth Dragon Turtle.' Both belong to the dual categories of dragon and rock, and both are dragon turtles. However, the turtle's shell carries rocks instead of mountains, and its size is relatively smaller."
"If we can collect the shell of the 'Earth Dragon Turtle,' we should be able to use 'Greed' to find the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon.'"
"Unfortunately, the 'Earth Dragon Turtle' is not a designated monster, so we can't kill two birds with one stone." "In any case, let's first determine the floor where the 'Earth Dragon Turtle' might be located." By observing the environment of each floor, we can roughly deduce the floor where either the "Mountain-Suppressing Dragon" or the "Earth Dragon Turtle" might be located, thereby further narrowing down the search area.
Holding the "door key," Dark began exploring from the fifty-first floor down, floor by floor.
He didn't stop until he reached the sixty-first floor.
This process took a lot of time, and we encountered very few of the designated monsters along the way.
But that's how boss hunting works; you have to give up something to gain something.
After exiting from the 61st floor, Dak locked himself on the 53rd, 56th, and 60th floors.
The ecological environment of these three floors is extremely suitable for the survival of monsters such as the "Mountain-Suppressing Dragon" and the "Earth Dragon Turtle," while the other floors are clearly unsuitable.
But he didn't stop; instead, he continued downwards, reaching the sixty-second floor. The dungeons below the sixtieth floor were extremely dangerous. Even the ordinary monsters that could be found everywhere possessed combat power comparable to a nine-star magical spirit.
Even among fifth and sixth graders, only a very small number dare to go hunting below the sixtieth floor in teams.
But as soon as Dark entered the sixty-second floor, he encountered the sixth-year contestants from the Knight Academy.
When Dark had previously exchanged information with the fifth-year noble academy teams, he already knew that the teams from the four sixth-year academies were all divided into three groups, hunting separately to maximize their point-gaining speed.
The sixth-year knight academy senior in front of him was indeed alone. He quickly recalled the senior's name. But just as he was about to politely greet him, the senior snorted coldly and quickly left.
Different departments are enemies, not friends.
This reaction is quite normal.
Dark smiled slightly, then turned and entered the small world on the sixty-second floor. Instantly, a scorching wind swept over him, and the temperature soared.
This small world on the sixty-second floor was actually a scorching desert with yellow sand everywhere.
Riding on the back of the "fossil pterosaur" and looking into the distance, all you can see is yellow sand and the sharp edges of gray rocks protruding from the sand.
This is an environment perfectly suited for monsters like the "Mountain-Suppressing Dragon" and the "Earth Dragon Turtle" to survive!
"The fifty-third, the fifty-sixth, the sixtieth floor, and now we're adding the sixty-second floor."
Dak muttered to himself, troubled.
It's not that the sixty-second floor is the deepest, and therefore the "Mountain-Suppressing Dragon" is most likely to appear here.
The probability is also not low for the three floors mentioned above.
However, this would make the search area far too large.
"But since we're already here, let's start here and see if there are any lower-level species of 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon'."
"Moreover, a large number of 'sandworms' should live in this environment."
The "Sandworm" is a designated monster for second-year students, but it only has two hundred points in the Monster Points Handbook.
Therefore, it is clearly not worthwhile to come to the sixty-second floor to hunt "sandworms".
There should also be a large number of "sand worms" on a certain floor above the twentieth floor. Moreover, the "sand worms" above the twentieth floor and the "sand worms" on this sixty-second floor are definitely worlds apart in terms of combat strength.
“It doesn’t matter if they are strong, what I’m afraid of is that there are sandworms in the sixth grade’s ‘Monster Points Handbook’.”
Dark took a deep breath and steered the "Fossil Pteranodon" into the vast expanse of yellow sand.
Although sandworms are insects, their habits are more like those of reptiles. Although they are also social creatures, a group of sandworms consists of a maximum of three to five individuals.
Moreover, they live underground, so to hunt them, you must first lure them out.
Dark quickly found a crystal mineral resembling "salt" at the foot of a rocky mountain. He crushed it into powder, put it in a can, covered the mouth of the can with a filter, grabbed the can, mounted the "fossilized pterosaur," and flew into the air.
Maintaining an altitude of more than ten meters above the ground, Dark flew while sprinkling "salt" down.
If there are "sandworms" hiding underground, they will be lured out by this crystalline mineral powder that resembles "salt".
in this way.
About ten minutes later, a giant "sandworm" five or six meters long suddenly emerged from the ground, spraying out countless sand and stones as soon as it raised its head. But the "fossil pterosaur" flapped its wings and blocked and shook off the rain of sand and stones. Then, the two "sword beasts" swooped down like flies, making two consecutive dashes, one after the other, and tore the "sandworm" into three pieces.
"Good luck."
When Dark saw the points credited to his account, he immediately smiled. It seemed that the sixth-grade "Monster Points Handbook" did not include "Sandworms".
"Sandworms" require special methods to lure out, and unless they are specifically targeted monsters, they are unlikely to be hunted casually.
In this way, he could explore and hunt "sandworms" at the same time without wasting time.
Another hour passed.
The sky outside the underground city was already showing the first light of dawn.
Suddenly, Dak noticed a "rockery" moving in the distant desert. Overjoyed, he urged his "fossil pterosaur" to give chase.
Upon closer inspection, the "artificial hill" seemed to sense the presence and instinctively burrowed into the sand.
But Dark acted extremely quickly, immediately activating the "Netherworld Soul Ring" to lock it firmly in place.
Immediately afterwards, the two "sword beasts" charged and killed the "artificial mountain," which was then turned upside down from the sandy ground.
It really is an "earth dragon turtle"!
The "Earth Dragon Turtle" carries rocks on its back, resembling artificial mountains, and lives on the ground in fertile areas. However, in the desert, it burrows into the yellow sand, and its speed of burrowing is much faster than crawling on the ground. The rocks on its back resemble shark fins, making desert creatures tremble with fear.
But finding just one "Earth Dragon Turtle" is not enough. It is necessary to determine whether there is a population of "Earth Dragon Turtles" on this floor.
Dark cut a piece of magically condensed shell from the "Earth Dragon Turtle" and handed it to the evolved "Greedy Slime 2".
Using "Greedy Slime 2" and "Greedy Nature" immediately triggered a response.
"There really is a population of 'Earth Dragon Turtles' in this area!"
Excited, Dark followed the guidance of "Greedy Slime 2" and hunted down two more "Earth Dragon Turtles".
After that, he turned back to continue hunting "sandworms," leaving the 62nd floor and then entering the 53rd floor, repeating the same method.
After exploring the fifty-third floor, we will enter the fifty-sixth floor, and then the sixtieth floor.
In the end, he only found the "Rock Mountain Dragon" species on the fifty-sixth floor—which is also a lower species of "Mountain Guardian Dragon"!
However, unlike the "Earth Dragon Turtle", the "Rock Mountain Dragon" does not have a turtle shell on its back and is more inclined to the dragon attribute.
Dark cut off a horn while hunting a Rock Mountain Dragon, intending to use it as a marker to find other Rock Mountain Dragons. However, he only found three or four living Rock Mountain Dragons. The Rock Mountain Dragon is a designated monster for sixth-grade students!
This means that some teams in the sixth grade must already know that there is a "Rock Mountain Dragon" on this floor.
Furthermore, this suggests that lower-level species of the "Mountain-Suppressing Dragon" might also exist on the 53rd and 60th floors, only to be killed by the sixth-grade students.
Thinking of this, Dark shook his head and decisively stopped speculating. There was no end to it if he continued.
"For now, let's focus on floors 56 and 62." "At 7:30 PM, go to floor 62 first, use the 'Greedy Slime 2i' to detect if there's a 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon,' then go to floor 56."
"Using tortoise shells and dragon horns as markers for searching, the sensation from the 'Mountain-Suppressing Dragon' will definitely be weaker than that from the 'Earth Dragon Turtle' and 'Rock Mountain Dragon.'"
"It's good that there are differences; only with differences can we make distinctions."
"Next, we just need to trust the slime."
Dark finished his search and prepared to continue hunting the designated monsters and the remaining quest bosses.
Half past two in the afternoon.
Dark hunted the designated monster "Bearhead Fish" in the giant lake on the forty-sixth floor, and also found the quest boss "Golden Bearfish" at the bottom of the lake. He was happy to get points after killing it.
The sixth-year students from the aristocratic academy, who happened to be there in search of the "Golden Bearfish," were speechless.
Dark greeted the senior students from the Academy of Nobles in a friendly manner and exchanged some information.
Are there "Rock Mountain Dragons" on the 56th floor and "Earth Dragon Turtles" on the 62nd floor?
The senior student thought for a moment and decisively ruled out the sixty-second floor, saying, "Fifth-year student Edwin has obtained some information after hunting a mission boss. The spawn location of this year's final boss will be within the sixtieth floor."
Dark frowned slightly and said, "Then it must be on the fifty-sixth floor." The senior student said, "There's a high probability that it's on the fifty-sixth floor. I'll be going to the fifty-sixth floor before 7:30. If you're going too, be careful to stay hidden and don't let people from other departments see you."
Dak nodded, indicating that he understood.
