A Rusty Sword from the Start, and I Became the Sword Champion

I'm a spoiled heir from a border town, and I used "trickery and deceit" to become the leader of the Three Armies Alliance.

Everyone says I rose to become the greatest swordsman under heaven with nothing but a rusty sword and a thick skin.

They don't know I fooled the Khan of the Northern Lands into handing me his military tally with his own hands. I fooled the powerful nobles of the imperial capital into begging me to take charge of the court.

Then the God of War challenged me to a duel atop the Forbidden City, and I raised my sword toward the heavens.

"Actually, I fooled all of you, too."

"This Nine Dragons Locking the Sky Formation was made for me from the start."
