From the Start of the Apocalypse, I Split the Sea with One Slash, and the City Lord Begged Me to Come Out of the Mountains

Chu Xiaolin just wants to be a lazy nobody at the docks, living off others and waiting to die.

Until one day, a monster bursts out of the sea...

An A-rank powerhouse from the City Guard is taken out on the spot, and everyone braces for death.

Chu Xiaolin sighs and casually picks up a knife from the ground.

One slash, and a tentacle is severed.

Two slashes, and the sea floor is split apart.

Three slashes, and the monster drops gear all over the place.

Onlookers: "???"

"Doesn't this slacker spend every day goofing off?!"

"Boss! From today on, you're my real dad!"

Chu Xiaolin pockets the crystals and walks away without a word.

The next day, his door is kicked open.

The Lord of Yuncheng, one of only two SSS-rank powerhouses in the world, stands by his bed.

Still hungover, Chu Xiaolin squints. "What is it?"

Ye Gu is silent for three seconds. "I want you to take over for me."

Chu Xiaolin: "???"
