Ruler of the Martial God

There Can't Be Anything Better Than Martial God Asura and Against the Gods, Right?

Any Books Better Than Peerless Martial God? I’ve Had a Terrible Reading Slump

I want one about someone who uses a sword, is defeated by others and then retreats to the mountains and forests to hone their skills before returning to the martial world. Please include more details, such as what they gain from each battle. Don't make it too slow-paced. It doesn't have to be better than Peerless Martial God, just about as good as it 😁.
