Chapter 53: The Second Layer: Plundering the Spirit Realm!

Chapter 53: The Second Layer: Plundering the Spirit Realm!

"What is the Plundering Spirit Realm?"

"As the name suggests, it's a Spirit Realm where you can seize or plunder the quest progress of other Extraordinary Beings!"

"As long as you can kill other Extraordinary Beings, half of the progress they've painstakingly achieved, risking their lives to slay monsters, will become yours!"

Chu Teacher's words shocked most of the students in the classroom.

They probably never imagined that there would be such rules within the Spirit Realm.

Even Zhao Zheng was equally surprised, his face filled with astonishment.

Being able to plunder half of someone else's quest progress? What is the Spirit Realm trying to achieve? Is it cultivating a monster?

"Do you think the Plundering Spirit Realm rule is cruel?"

Chu Teacher calmly replied, "The Spirit Realm is not a safe greenhouse; peace is not what it desires. Slaughter is its eternal theme!"

"The Spirit Realm exists to cultivate powerhouses. This plundering rule will appear in many subsequent Spirit Realms, so you must prepare yourselves mentally."

"If you can't accept this, then do your best to survive the first ten layers and then retire, never entering the Spirit Realm again."

These words silenced many students.

Chu Teacher continued his lecture, unconcerned with the students' thoughts.

He operated the computer, and the projector displayed a new image on the blackboard.

The picture showed a hideous monster, its body covered in a hard shell, resembling a praying mantis!

"This is the monster in the second layer of the Spirit Realm, and it's your primary mission target."

Chu Teacher explained, "This monster is very powerful. According to official statistics and research over the years, its strength and agility attributes are both around 100 points. It's a fast and strong creature!"

"Although its vitality isn't particularly high, its entire shell is incredibly hard! It's practically impenetrable to blades and bullets!"

"When you encounter this monster, be cautious of its two forelimbs! They're sharper than scythes. With the monster's speed and strength, a slight swipe is enough to split your body in half from head to toe!"

Many timid students turned pale with fear.

The other students also wore serious expressions, their eyes fixed on the monster's image on the blackboard.

Only Zhao Zheng looked eager to give it a try.

He wanted to know if this monster could break through his defenses.

"The Spirit Realm won't lead you to a dead end. This monster also has its weaknesses."

Chu Teacher switched to another monster image on the computer and pointed to it, saying, "The weakness lies here, in the monster's abdomen!"

"The monster's entire body is protected by a hard shell, except for its abdomen, which is softer. You can stab it there to kill the monster!"

"Speaking of which, have you thought of an ultimate move like a sliding tackle?"

Seeing many students nodding, Chu Teacher immediately advised, "I suggest you don't do that unless you want to feed the monster until it bursts!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng almost laughed out loud.

This old Chu has a sense of humor!

However, when he noticed the other students' solemn expressions, he instantly realized that the 'sliding tackle' joke was unknown on Blue Star.

Unaware of Zhao Zheng's reaction, Chu Teacher continued, "The correct way to deal with this monster is to set up traps or find a way to flip it over, leaving it helpless, and then quickly attack its abdomen!"

"Of course, if you have the ability to break through the monster's shell and kill it directly, you won't need to go through all this trouble."

"But achieving that is extremely challenging. Even if you have the strength, the monster won't just stand there and let you hit it.

"Don't forget, they're also incredibly fast!"

At this moment, a student raised their hand and asked, "Teacher, do we have to hunt these monsters at night? Will our vision be affected?"

"Good question!"

Old Chu smiled and said, "These monsters hide underground during the day and only appear after nightfall. You will indeed need to engage them in combat under limited visibility. However, there's no need to worry too much. The time within the Spirit Realm differs from our world. The second layer of the Spirit Realm is perpetually a night of the full moon."

"The bright moonlight will be sufficient for you to clearly observe the monsters' every move."

The student nodded and sat down.

Old Chu asked, "Does anyone else have any questions?"

A female student stood up and said, "Teacher, I believe that plundering the Spirit Realm can steal others' quest progress, creating a massive loophole. What if someone continuously plundered others' quest progress? Wouldn't they receive unimaginable quest rewards? They'd become a god!"

Upon hearing this, Old Chu frowned, "What class were you in before? Didn't your teacher tell you that each layer of the Spirit Realm has its limits? Just like Song Haitang from the first layer, who set an unprecedented record by killing countless monsters, but her final reward couldn't exceed 350 Spirit Energy points."

Zhao Zheng: "..."

Teacher, why can't it be me who kills them?

"Sorry, teacher, I forgot..." The female student who asked the question earlier looked embarrassed.

Old Chu waved his hand, gesturing for her to sit down, and then continued to ask if anyone else had questions.

No one responded.

He proceeded, "There's one more thing to note. These monsters have poor vision, but their hearing is exceptionally developed, making them highly sensitive to sound."

"So, after nightfall, you must maintain silence, even when fighting monsters. Avoid shouting or making loud noises."

"If you create a ruckus after nightfall, congratulations! You'll attract nearby monsters, and you'll find yourselves surrounded!"

Hearing this, the students hurriedly took notes.

This was indeed crucial knowledge.

"Once you enter the Spirit Realm, you'll have ten hours for your task. After subtracting the initial half-hour preparation time, you'll have nine and a half hours left."

"If you want to hunt monsters within nine and a half hours and also guard against teammate ambushes... it's best to work with your teammates to create a detailed plan in the next ten days and prepare in advance."

Next.

Old Chu went on to explain other aspects of the Spirit Realm in great detail.

In this class, Old Chu displayed his meticulous side.

His explanations about the monsters were comprehensive, even for students who had learned about the second layer of the Spirit Realm through other channels. They felt they had gained a lot from this lesson.

Including Zhao Zheng, who was satisfied with Old Chu's teaching approach.

A moment later, the bell rang for the end of class.

As Old Chu packed up his belongings, he said, "You have ten days left. During your training, you can borrow weapons from the school's armory to practice. That way, when you enter the Spirit Realm, you won't be clueless about how to use the weapons you find."

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."

With those words, Old Chu left the classroom, carrying his belongings.

As soon as he was gone, the students gathered with their teammates to discuss.
