The Sword Sect's Last Disciple: Take One Sword Strike, Dismantle One Sword

At seventeen, Shen Li is the lowest-ranked disciple of the Sword Sect. After failing the annual exam, his sword is about to be sealed away, and the old accusation that his father "secretly passed on a forbidden sword technique, causing a disastrous defeat at the border pass" has resurfaced. Refusing to accept it, he requests a public retest the next day, but can only awaken the "Tracebone" within him by landing a genuine wound. The bone records not an unrivaled sword manual, but the force and trajectory behind his opponent's strike. After withdrawing to train in seclusion and practicing his footwork while injured, he finally finds an opening and wins another chance to prove himself with a sword. But an injury cannot be for nothing, and winning a move doesn't mean he can protect his companions. The cold-faced genius Gu Hanzhi asks only, "Can the last person make it back alive?" Meanwhile, the death-fearing spear cultivator Huang Sanbu is the one who understands escape routes best. Shen Li will go from the sect's sword trials to inter-sect duels, the old case of the forbidden sword, and military formations at the border.
