"It’s too strange. How could a Skeleton Mage and a warrior possibly last until the thirty-sixth round?!"
"By now, the monsters’ attributes must be close to the attack power of a Level 20 Elite Beast, right?"
It wasn’t just the teachers; even the students were discussing it.
Many of them had far superior team compositions than Chen Mo and Fang Datong, yet they still couldn’t withstand the increasing number and attributes of the monsters and were eliminated.
Yet Chen Mo and Fang Datong had somehow held on, even surpassing the critical score threshold for key universities. It was something they couldn’t comprehend.
"The dungeon map is huge. They have a Skeleton Monster that can act as a decoy, kiting and fighting. Even later on, I bet they can still lure and kill monsters one by one. As long as the monsters’ Health and defensive power don’t increase to a point where they can’t inflict damage, I think they can keep going."
Some students attempted to analyze the possible strategies Chen Mo and Fang Datong’s team might be using.
"Impossible! I’m an Elemental Mage, and I just tried that method. Summons die too quickly. Unless their Skeleton Monster is incredibly fast, as if it’s greased its feet, it’ll be quickly overtaken by the monsters. The monsters’ movement speed is also increasing."
"Does a Skeleton Mage even have a skill to increase a Skeleton Monster’s movement speed?"
"Not sure. Maybe some kind of equipment?"
While the students discussed how Chen Mo and Fang Datong might have achieved their current results, the teachers were doing the same.
Their speculations were largely similar to the students’.
If Chen Mo and Fang Datong were relying solely on their actual combat strength, the teachers didn’t believe they could have reached this stage.
However, if they were kiting the monsters, it might just be possible.
And Level 10 equipment sets that increased summon speed did exist.
The teachers were aware of this; it was just that such items were difficult to obtain.
Even if Chen Mo had the money to buy numerous equipment dungeon entry passes, he likely lacked the strength to clear the dungeons repeatedly and collect a full set.
The content of equipment dungeons wasn’t fixed; it varied each time.
That was why the teachers found Chen Mo’s performance so surprising.
His family background wasn’t particularly strong. If it had been, no one would have given it a second thought.
There were still a few students from less affluent backgrounds in the instance, but Chen Mo’s team was so exceptional it sparked widespread discussion.
If it were a team like Yan Yingyue and Shen Bingbing, a four-star offensive professional paired with a five-star Support, no one would question how they had lasted so long.
After all, with such a team composition, it would be considered normal for them to qualify for top-tier universities.
Once the score threshold for key universities was surpassed, the pace of elimination became extremely rapid.
Rounds thirty-six and thirty-seven eliminated seventy percent of the remaining participants.
Soon, only thirty percent of the examinees reached the score threshold for top-tier universities.
If they could pass this, admission to a top-tier university was practically guaranteed.
However, this stage was incredibly difficult to clear. The most troublesome aspect was not just the monsters’ increasing attack power, but also their constantly rising defensive power and Health.
The examinees’ attributes remained unchanged. As they continued, it would inevitably become increasingly difficult for them to inflict damage.
Yet, at this point, Chen Mo and Fang Datong were still in the running.
Now, even the teachers couldn’t remain seated.
Given the monsters’ defensive power at this stage, ordinary Level 10 two-star or three-star professionals should no longer be able to damage them.
The monsters’ defensive power had already surpassed three times the professionals’ attack power.
No matter how skilled you were at kiting monsters, the moment you could no longer clear them, you had already lost.
But by what means had Chen Mo and Fang Datong managed to advance this far under such conditions?
Naturally, this sparked another round of fervent discussion.

Principal Shen Rulong, having witnessed Chen Mo’s performance multiple times, had grown accustomed to it. He couldn’t help but chuckle, This kid always manages to pull some new stunt. I really have no idea what secrets he’s hiding.
"Principal, our school’s university admission prospects are incredible this time! Yan Yingyue and Shen Bingbing have both reached the thirty-eighth round. If they, along with Chen Mo and Fang Datong, can all pass the thirty-eighth round, our school will have four students admitted to top-tier universities!
That’s a target even city-level key high schools wouldn’t dare to claim they could achieve!"
At this moment, Liu Funan had no time to ponder how Chen Mo and Fang Datong had made it this far.
He was ecstatic that the school was on the verge of setting a historic record for university admissions.
For a school of their caliber, there had never been an instance of so many examinees simultaneously gaining admission to top-tier universities.
Forget top-tier universities; for a mid-tier school like theirs, there hadn’t even been a single instance of four students simultaneously getting into key universities.
Hearing Liu Funan’s words, Shen Rulong’s face also filled with anticipation. He hoped these four youngsters could indeed achieve it.
He also turned his gaze towards Chen Mo. Even he was extremely curious about what methods Chen Mo possessed to have come this far.
He had almost entirely discounted Fang Datong’s contribution.
It was just that the previous few times, Chen Mo’s involvement had always led to some kind of unexpected event, so the Principal habitually attributed this peculiar situation solely to him.
Meanwhile, Fang Datong, still inside the dungeon, was oblivious as he excitedly discussed with Chen Mo how they would boast once they got out.
