Record of the Sword Rising in the Dust

A village youth stumbles upon a fortuitous opportunity and embarks on the path of cultivation. As layers of mystery peel away, he realizes his origins are far from humble. With peerless sword talent and dangerous cunning, he must be calmer and more ruthless than anyone in this treacherous world. No matter how brilliant a prodigy you are, you cannot withstand a single strike of my sword; no matter how many schemes you employ, they cannot match my world-shaking strategy. Where the sword points, none can stop it. I am not brave—I wield reason as my blade, calculating everything. — Description from novelcodex.org
