“...?”

Everyone fell silent for a moment, unanimously wearing stunned expressions.

This is what you call a polite awakening?

If you say he’s polite, he’s cursing people; if you say he’s impolite, he knows to use the honorific "you."

It can only be said that he has some manners, but not much.

Everyone was dumbfounded by Qiao Yu's strange antics.

Someone actually dared to insult the World Serpent Jörmungandr. If the challenge succeeds, that's one thing, but if it fails, he'll probably be swallowed directly into the serpent's belly, right?

"Little brother, what's your class? How dare you be so arrogant?" The kind old man from before swallowed hard and asked.

"Me? I'm a necromancer." Qiao Yu smiled kindly.

"Necromancer!!!" The kind old man was taken aback. "Then quickly start summoning undead creatures! It'll be too late once Jörmungandr wakes up!"

"Don't worry, we necromancers all fight like this." Qiao Yu waved his hand.

"Really, believe me! Jörmungandr will definitely wake up soon!" Seeing Qiao Yu remain unmoved, the kind old man couldn't help but get anxious.

You're a necromancer, and you're not summoning undead. What are you going to use to fight Jörmungandr when it comes out? Are you going to brawl with Jörmungandr?

Sure enough!

The next second, the entire earth trembled violently, and the distant mountains began to shake like crazy.

Only then did Qiao Yu realize that the distant mountains were not mountains at all. They were just piles of dust that had accumulated on Jörmungandr's body after it had been motionless for a long time!

Qiao Yu couldn't help but be surprised at how enormous the World Serpent's body must be.

Then, accompanied by the tremors, the dust near the cave was shaken off, and an extremely huge object was raised, like a city wall blocking Qiao Yu's path.

Immediately afterward, a huge eye opened on that city wall!

That eye was a vertical pupil, its depths filled with red rage.

The moment the World Serpent opened its eyes, even Qiao Yu, who was used to seeing countless large creatures, couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

For no other reason than this guy was simply too huge!

Leaving aside strength, even the Giant Corpse God would definitely be as insignificant as an ant in front of Jörmungandr.

And when all the dust was shaken off, the full appearance of the World Serpent Jörmungandr finally appeared before Qiao Yu.

Jörmungandr was entirely grayish-white, with a pair of orange-red snake pupils. Cracks covered its body everywhere, densely packed like a spider web.

And Jörmungandr's length was unknown, so many meters that its tail couldn't be seen at all.

The instant it appeared, it opened its mouth and let out a low roar, revealing a mouthful of terrifying yellow fangs.

In terms of size, Qiao Yu wasn't even as big as one of Jörmungandr's teeth.

The difference in size between the two was like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

"How terrifying! Is this the World Serpent Jörmungandr? It's too big! No wonder it deserves the name World Serpent!"

"Just looking at its enormous size, my legs are going weak. Where would I get the courage to challenge it?"

"Too terrifying. No wonder there are so many Emperor-rank experts, but so few Saint-rank experts! How many people can single-handedly take on such a monster?"

"Can that boy named Qiao Yu really defeat Jörmungandr? He looks no more than 20 years old!"

The crowd looked at the sky-covering snake head and discussed among themselves. Jörmungandr's enormous body shocked everyone's hearts.

"Was it you who insulted me just now? Insignificant human!"

Jörmungandr's tone was filled with unparalleled anger, and the sound was deafening, the sound waves causing the leaves of the Endless Forest to surge.

It had been trapped in this place for who knew how long. Every time it was killed, it would revive after a period of time. Gradually, Jörmungandr had become indifferent to death.

But this was the first time it had seen someone dare to insult it right from the start! And even cursing its mother. This naturally aroused Jörmungandr's rage.

"It was me, it was me. By the way, can you give me your gallbladder? That way, we can all save some trouble." Qiao Yu said, rubbing his hands together.

"You're courting death!"

Jörmungandr let out an angry roar, its vertical pupils turning almost bright red.

"Insignificant human, you will pay the price of your life for your provocation!"

At this moment, the reminder sound from the Inner World also rang in Qiao Yu's heart.

[Does player Qiao Yu wish to begin the challenge against the World Serpent Jörmungandr?]

"Confirm!"

Qiao Yu nodded without hesitation.

[Player Qiao Yu has begun the challenge against the World Serpent. Timer starts!]

At this moment, a timer rose up and began recording Qiao Yu's challenge time.

"Become a ghost in my belly!"

Jörmungandr let out a roar that resounded through the heavens and earth, then opened its enormous maw and bit towards Qiao Yu. Its enormous body moved, and the surroundings immediately began to tremble, the earth began to crack, and rocks began to fall.

At the same time, a huge suction force emanated from its mouth, pulling Qiao Yu's body towards its mouth.

"Too terrifying! Jörmungandr's enormous body, just the pressure alone could crush that kid to death!"

"I don't know if this kid has a screw loose somewhere, actually daring to insult Jörmungandr. He's really like an old man hanging himself, tired of living!"

"Yeah, we must take this as a warning. We originally thought we could come here and learn some useful skills, but we ran into a fool. What bad luck!"

"As a necromancer, if he had summoned a bunch of undead creatures from the start, he might really have been able to exhaust Jörmungandr to death. After all, necromancers are also extremely terrifying classes, but this kid is too stupid, actually not summoning them in advance!"

The crowd shook their heads, seemingly already foreseeing Qiao Yu's failure.

After all, angering Jörmungandr right from the start meant facing Jörmungandr's full-force attack.

And he, as a necromancer, actually didn't summon any undead to fight.

Anyone with a little bit of brains wouldn't choose this, it's too stupid.

However, Qiao Yu himself didn't panic in the slightest, looking at Jörmungandr's enormous snake head like a mountain range and the foul-smelling, fanged mouth.

Qiao Yu's response was very simple. He used his actions to tell the world how many steps it takes to defeat Jörmungandr.

The first step: Activate Nether Rakshasa Body.

The second step: Superimpose all ghost energy on the right hand.

The third step: Throw a punch.

"Nether Heaven Opening Fist!"

Qiao Yu closed his five fingers and threw his full-force punch towards that giant mouth.

Terrifying ghost energy transformed into roaring demons and monsters, rushing towards Jörmungandr's mouth.

Irregular bulges appeared on Jörmungandr's enormous head. Then, a terrifying hole broke open in the back of Jörmungandr's head, and countless ghost energy rushed out of that hole.

Afterwards, Jörmungandr's enormous vertical pupils began to gradually dim, a sign that the flames of life were fading.

When the light in the vertical pupils was completely extinguished, Jörmungandr's enormous snake head crashed heavily to the ground, causing a violent earthquake.

At this time, the Inner World's prompt also sounded.

[Congratulations to necromancer Qiao Yu for breaking the record for killing the World Serpent Jörmungandr. The new record is 6 seconds. Rewarding 500 free attribute points. Hope other players will continue to work hard.]

This shocking scene stunned everyone present.

Aren't necromancers supposed to have the weakest physical bodies of all classes?

How could this necromancer in front of them kill the World Serpent Jörmungandr with one punch? Physical domination! You call this a necromancer?
