After the Genius Falls

My name is Lin Yi, and I am a recognized swordsman genius in Qingshi City. Until the day of the entry test, I shouted those three words in front of everyone—— "I surrender." At that moment, the myth of genius was shattered. My father's pride, my mother's tears, the patriarch's disappointment... Knocked me down from the clouds. Everyone thought I was finished. But they didn't know that after that false genius fell, I picked up a rusty iron sword in the mud. At that moment, the real me was just beginning to wake up. My name is Lin Yi. I've been on the top of the mountain, and I've also been at the bottom. This is my story - The story of a mortal who used rust as a sword and climbed to the sky alone in a deserted place.
