Next.

Chen Ye also began to listen to the lecture attentively.

He wanted to know how much the people of this world understood about zombies…

Teacher Liu's voice continued:

"Although the Jumping Corpse's body is stiff, it also gains very formidable defensive capabilities, making it truly impervious to blades and spears."

"Furthermore, their strength is also considerable, about three times that of a normal adult, and they can easily send a human flying."

"With your current physical condition, if you are caught by a Jumping Corpse, it is very dangerous, and you will basically be unable to break free."

"In addition, their vitality is extremely tenacious, and it is very difficult to kill them. Even if you chop off its head and separate its body from its head, its torso can still move, and its mouth can still bite people. Only by smashing it into pieces can they be killed completely!"

Hearing this.

Chen Ye silently corrected himself: It's not that zombies have strong vitality, but that they are inherently inanimate objects without life, and cannot be treated with common sense.

Teacher Liu continued to play the video.

This time, the video content simulated the process of a zombie attacking a person.

In the video, a zombie, upon discovering a human, immediately pounced, grabbed them, and bit their neck in one go. Its fangs pierced the carotid artery, and it drank blood greedily.

This terrifying scene caused many girls to gasp in fright.

Teacher Liu said calmly, "Jumping Corpses like to feed on human blood. In their eyes, we humans are delicious food."

"The most important point is that the claws and mouths of Jumping Corpses contain a terrible toxin. Once you are scratched or bitten by them, you will be poisoned. Even if you manage to escape temporarily, you will lose your life within 24 hours and turn into a new Jumping Corpse monster!"

"Everyone must pay attention to preventing this!"

Hearing this.

A student couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, since Jumping Corpses are so powerful, don't they have any weaknesses?"

Hearing someone mention the weakness of zombies.

Several things that could restrain zombies immediately popped into Chen Ye's mind.

Glutinous rice, peach wood sword, garlic, rooster blood, black dog blood…

Teacher Liu, however, said, "Weaknesses? Jumping Corpses have very few weaknesses. The currently known weakness is that they might be somewhat afraid of fire. When you successfully subdue a Jumping Corpse, you can use fire to burn it to death."

Chen Ye: ???

That's it?

The Secret Realm has been around for so many years, and you've only figured out such a weakness?

Come to think of it, it's actually normal.

Chen Ye knew the weaknesses of zombies because he had the perspective of God from watching movies and TV shows.

There were no zombie movies in this world.

It's unlikely that anyone who discovered a zombie in a Secret Realm would try to attack it with glutinous rice, right?

Seeing that the students' expressions were a little grim.

Teacher Liu then said, "Although Jumping Corpses are difficult to deal with, their rewards are also very generous. Each successfully killed Jumping Corpse can yield at least 6 potential points, which can be freely allocated to the four basic attributes."

Hearing this.

The students' eyes immediately lit up.

They had already experienced how difficult it was to improve their attributes.

It was absolutely impossible to quickly increase attributes through conventional training methods.

Many people had been training desperately during this time, only to gain a little bit of physique and strength, which was pitifully slow.

And this was for those who had awakened S-class Hero talents.

For those who awakened below S-class, no matter how they trained, their attributes wouldn't increase.

Of course, Chen Ye was an exception…

"Additionally, items can be brought into the Secret Realm, and each person can carry a total weight not exceeding 10 kilograms."

Teacher Liu smiled again, "To help all the new students across the country succeed in Secret Realm No. 1, the academicians of the Academy of Sciences have invented a lot of alloy weapons and equipment. These alloy weapons are not only lightweight but also have very good power, at least making it less difficult for you to deal with Jumping Corpses."

"After class, I will give you a list of equipment. You can choose the weapons you want based on your talent, abilities, and preferences."

The students were even happier upon hearing this.

Looking at the Jumping Corpse on the blackboard again, although they still found it terrifying, they now had the confidence to face them.

Teacher Liu reminded them again, "You should choose your weapons as soon as possible. The sooner you choose, the sooner you'll get them. Once you have your weapons, you need to practice frequently and strive to become proficient in using them within this month. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you."

"Understood, teacher."

The students responded one after another.

"Regarding the choice of weapons, I'll give you another piece of advice: you must choose weapons that are convenient for your talent and abilities to be displayed."

Teacher Liu pointed at Tang Zichen and said to everyone, "Take Tang Zichen, for example. Her innate ability is telekinesis, allowing her to attack from a distance. When choosing a weapon, she could consider something like darts. Combined with her telekinesis, she can attack the Jumping Corpses from afar, greatly increasing her safety."

Hearing this.

Everyone cast envious glances at Tang Zichen.

The innate abilities of S2 were truly exceptional.

Just like Ms. Qin, wasn't her current success due to her powerful innate ability, which gave her an advantage in the Secret Realm?

At this moment.

Teacher Liu checked the time on his watch and said, "That's all for today's class. Your task today is to choose your alloy weapons and submit them to me before dinner!"

"Oh, and when choosing weapons, don't just prepare for fighting Jumping Corpses. You also need to consider defending against other people!"

"Every time a Secret Realm opens, students from all over the world will enter it. This means you'll encounter all sorts of people in the Secret Realm, and you might even get into conflicts with others. You must be careful and cautious."

"Also, the first floor of the school library is now open to you. It contains more detailed information about Jumping Corpses, as well as some experiences from seniors who successfully killed monsters in Secret Realm No. 1. It's worth your time to take a look."

"Now, class dismissed!"

With that, Teacher Liu turned and left.

Chen Ye felt a bit emotional. Being a teacher seemed too easy.

This class hadn't even lasted twenty minutes.

As soon as Teacher Liu left, the students gathered in small groups, discussing what weapons to choose.

"Brother Zhao, what weapon are you going to pick?"

"My innate ability is S3, and I've also practiced a dual-wielding sword style. I'm planning to choose dual short swords."

"For someone like me with a defensive innate ability, do I have to choose a rifle?"

"Rifle bullets can't even kill Jumping Corpses. Only an idiot would choose one!"

"Sigh! If only there wasn't a weight limit. I'd bring a cannon and blast them."

"...Why don't you just say you'll bring Tsar Bomba and blow up the entire Secret Realm!"

All the students were discussing with their companions.

Even the cool and aloof Tang Zichen had a few girls trying to get close to her.

In the entire class, only two people were not being approached for discussion.
