I Became the Strongest After Picking Up a Sword

Synopsis: Please add my upcoming novels in the same genre to your reading list: "When a Little Monster from the Cultivation World Transmigrates into a Zombie Horde" and "When a Little Jiangshi Gets Mixed into a Zombie Horde." Love you all! Their synopses are at the very bottom. A naive martial-arts hero, the strongest fighter despite believing himself weak, receives the favor of a dark-hearted, max-psychic-power top who works hard to lure him into bed. Lu Xin, who possesses peerless martial arts, was once a chivalrous hero who despised evil. But after being persecuted by villains and gravely injured, he fell off a cliff. He thought he was sure to die. But when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world. This world was in ruins, littered with corpses. Except these corpses could crawl back to their feet, becoming mindless walking dead that devoured the flesh and blood of the living. And the people of this world tested him and determined that he had no special abilities, making him a complete good-for-nothing? A good-for-nothing? The word had never once applied to Lu Xin in his entire life. Born with a swordsman's constitution, he had all eight extraordinary meridians unblocked and an exceptional talent for martial arts. Even when he charged alone into the Demon Cult and fought for seven days and nights, he could still make it out without a scratch. But as he gradually adapted to this world, Lu Xin became more and more aware of how many extraordinary people lived here. They could command fire and water, just like the immortals in legends! No wonder they called him a good-for-nothing. Lu Xin decided they had a point, and began humbly asking them to teach him their immortal arts. What puzzled him was that these immortals avoided even the tiniest zombies. Lu Xin figured they didn't want to lower themselves by dealing with zombies, so he recovered, picked up his sword, and swept through an entire horde with a single sword strike. As the ability users stared in shock, Lu Xin continued to ask humbly, "Immortals, can I join your sect if I do that?" The ability users: [Dropping to their knees] * Only later, after he had fully settled into the post-apocalyptic world, did Lu Xin finally understand that it wasn't immortal arts, just special abilities. The ability users had wind powers. He had lightness skills. The ability users had firearms. He dodged bullets with his footwork. The wheel of fortune had turned. At first, he had humbly asked them to teach him immortal arts. In the end, it was the ability users clinging to his leg, hoping to carry on the legacy of martial arts. The ability users: Boss, we're noobs. Carry us! * When Qi Fengyu first met Lu Xin, he thought he'd rescued someone with a severe case of chuunibyou. But people like that weren't rare in the apocalypse, so he smiled and let it go. It wasn't until Lu Xin kept following him around, saying he wanted to repay him for saving his life, that Qi Fengyu realized the guy might actually be serious. Qi Fengyu at first: A powerful bodyguard for free? Not bad. Qi Fengyu later: [Pats the bed] Lu Xin, I'm cold. How are you supposed to find a wife if you care about your pride? Reading guide: 1. A naturally straightforward sweetheart is the perfect match for a schemer. 2. The recipient is maxed out in physical combat, a close-range fighter, strong and sturdy [absolutely]; the top is maxed out in psychic power, a long-range fighter, delicate and frail [not at all]. 3. A feel-good, satisfying little sweet romance set in the apocalypse. *Synopsis written on 2022.4.2.

Synopsis: A sunny, cheerful, chaotic little monster with a screw-loose streak, the recipient, and a steady, mature, big, strong, healing-type daddy top. Before he transmigrated, An Shuo was the Blood Demon Ancestor, hated and hunted by everyone in the cultivation world. As a boy, he accidentally absorbed a murderous aura. To survive, he had no choice but to improve his cultivation through killing. But just as he had cultivated a blood-demon body and no longer had to worry about the murderous aura consuming him, he was destroyed by the Ten Thousand Swords Annihilation Formation. When he opened his eyes again, he was in a world crawling with zombies. He possessed the body of a little boy who had been stabbed and thrown into a pit of zombies, left on the verge of death. The boy gave him his body in exchange for revenge. An Shuo gladly agreed, then sprang up like a corpse rising from the dead and sucked every nearby zombie dry. Back in the day, he had been the cultivation world's number one target, because the technique he practiced was a demonic art that required him to keep killing and absorbing blood qi. But who knew that all along, he had been improving his cultivation by killing only truly evil people and vicious beasts? In the cultivation world, three people make a rumor, and rumors can be terrifying... But this world was different! People, do you get it? Zombies you can kill at will, exotic beasts you can eat at will! An Shuo: I've never fought such a well-supplied battle! I can kill zombies whenever I want? Really? I really can kill as many as I want? People in the apocalypse: ? Why is someone so enthusiastic about killing zombies? #Too eager to kill zombies, must have something wrong with him# How others see An Shuo: A well-behaved, harmless little boy! How his teammates see An Shuo: A beast who chases zombies down and gobbles them up! How An Shuo sees the apocalypse: This one looks tasty, and so does that one. Once I restore my blood-demon body, I'll punch through the sky and return to my old world to get revenge!! An Shuo, who somehow later became humanity's strongest: Don't praise me! I'm not going to help you kill this Zombie King! Hmph! (killing the Zombie King) As An Shuo gobbled away, he turned himself into the strongest person in the human camp. The humans in this world welcomed him with kindness, admired him, and treated him like a god. An Shuo had never experienced anything so wonderful. He was a monster drenched in the stench of blood from all his killing, yet he had become a great hero An Shuo flashed a wild grin. No matter how terrifying he acted, the people around him were full of love, gently wrapping the little monster in their care and soothing his pain. He wakes up in the morning to bright sunshine and a temperature of 36.7 degrees Celsius. The first thing he does after getting up is chase zombies and bite into them. Watching An Shuo dart around like an untethered horse, the teammates who picked him up think: Damn, are they really that delicious? Boss, want some cumin? Or pepper? Is eating them plain any good? An Shuo: Burp. Delicious blood qi. Love it. An Shuo: Let's round up a couple more zombie hordes. #Don't zombies have a right to live?# #Zombies: We won't say a word until our lawyer gets here.# #These zombies won't live to see another sunrise.# Upcoming novel: "When a Little Jiangshi Gets Mixed into a Zombie Horde" Synopsis: A cute, slightly fierce little jiangshi with a strong combat ability, the recipient, and his loyal enemy, a zombie top whom the little jiangshi takes home and raises.
