The Truth Is, I'm the Greatest Swordsman Under Heaven, but I Can't Fight

Jiang Chen transmigrates into a parallel world where short stories are all the rage.

From the start, he writes his first short story, The World's Greatest Swordsman, starring Zhang Zhiqiu.

My name is Zhang Zhiqiu.

At twenty-two, I entered the martial world for the first time and took on nine water strongholds on Dongting Lake in succession.

At twenty-five, I pursued my enemy for three thousand li. The Incense-Scented Sect, which had terrorized the land for thirty-three years, vanished without a trace.

At twenty-nine, when Japanese pirates invaded, I took up my sword and set out. Half a month later, the Eastern Sea was at peace.

At thirty, the imperial court issued a ban on martial arts. I went alone to the capital, fought my way into the Forbidden City, and made an agreement with the Emperor, the Dragon Spring Pact, securing a place for martial artists throughout the land.

Today, I'll come clean.

I, the greatest swordsman under heaven, don't know martial arts at all!
