Douluo Dalu: I Awakened a Workhorse Martial Soul from the Start

She Chu, a 28-year-old programmer, worked overtime until 2:30 a.m. on the Dragon Boat Festival and died suddenly from exhaustion. He transmigrated to Douluo Dalu.

On the day he awakened his Martial Soul, he stared at the stitched-together monstrosity in his hands, a bizarre fusion of ox and horse, and fell into deep thought.

“I said before I transmigrated that I wouldn't be an office drone, and now I've become one after transmigrating? Heaven, are you messing with me?”

The good news: his Innate Soul Power was 9.96, an exceptionally high aptitude, and his ox-horse Martial Soul could cultivate automatically.

The bad news: all his Soul Skills were corporate jargon: 996 work culture, empty promises, ruthless competition, last-place layoffs, the age-35 crisis...

She Chu: Are these damn Soul Skills? They're obviously the resentment I carried from my past life as an office drone! So She Chu decided to achieve his ultimate goal in Douluo Dalu: a grand plan to lie flat.

Tang San: “Brother Chu, why aren't you cultivating?”

She Chu: “My Martial Soul cultivates by itself. I just need to lie flat.”

Xiao Wu: “Lazybones!”

She Chu: “Thanks for the compliment.”

Opponent: “Why are your Soul Skills' names so weird?”

She Chu: “You've been optimized.” Opponent: ??? (Attributes decreased)

Years later, She Chu ascended to godhood, becoming the God of Lying Flat.

From “dying of exhaustion as an office drone” to “lying flat forever as an immortal,” She Chu proves through personal experience that if you choose the right Martial Soul, even lying flat can make you a god!
