Useless? I Slay the Gods and Become Emperor at Boot Camp

I am Ye Xiao,

the Shadowkin’s publicly acknowledged failure,

with no cultivation at all,

unable even to learn the clan’s most basic Shadow Step.

During the great battle at Black River Pass, I was assigned to the cannon fodder battalion.

The day I was sent to die,

I blew up a subterranean bone cart,

and awakened the “Imperial Bloodline” within me.

The old military doctor Meng Lie saved me,

and the beastfolk’s ancient methods tempered my bones.

Everyone called me a failure,

but at the military academy’s youth tournament, I fought my way to victory after victory.

I held the tide of corpses at the border outside the city all by myself.

In the military academy’s special training camp,

the arrogant young prodigies who thought themselves gods

were forced to submit to me.

I smashed through the enemy’s schemes one by one.

If you want to take my Imperial Bloodline, you’d better be ready to die by my hand!

The elders of the Night Hunt Alliance demanded that I return to my ancestral clan.

I crushed the token in my hand.

“These bones of mine answer only to the path I carve out for myself.”
