"Move aside, loser!" barked a tall, burly young man.
He was Yung Fei, the son of the village chief and the heir to a martial arts school. Standing on either side of him, three young men his age grinned wickedly, clearly enjoying what their friend was about to do.
Without warning, Yung Fei launched a powerful kick straight into the young man's stomach.
Li Jie Soka Witjaksana, the unfortunate recipient of the kick, was sent stumbling several steps backward until he crashed into a vendor’s stall that had been closed for the day. The wooden stall collapsed under his weight, its fragile structure breaking apart from the impact.
"Pick that loser up! I'm not done with him yet!" Yung Fei ordered.
His three friends immediately rushed forward, grabbing Li Jie, who was still curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. His ribs ached terribly from the direct hit to his solar plexus.
Two of Yung Fei’s friends each held one of Li Jie’s arms, while the third grabbed his head, preventing him from moving.
"Li Jie Soka Witjaksana... What a fancy name for a beggar like you!" Yung Fei sneered, curling one side of his lip in contempt. "I've told you so many times—losers like you don’t belong here. You're nothing but filth in this village!"
Bugh!
Another brutal punch landed in Li Jie’s stomach. His arms, still restrained, rendered him defenseless. He had no choice but to endure the pain as Yung Fei struck him again.
"What have I ever done to you, Yung Fei? Every time you see me, you just want to beat me up," Li Jie asked weakly. The metallic taste of blood seeped into his mouth as a trickle of it dripped from the corner of his lips.
"Hahaha... What a pathetic loser! You're nothing but a piece of trash. How many times do I have to tell you? If you don’t want to be my punching bag, get out of this village!" Yung Fei shouted.
Another punch struck Li Jie, this time aimed at his face. Blood spilled from his lips as the impact tore the skin. Despite the searing pain, not a single groan of agony escaped his lips. He was used to pain—he had lived with it ever since his parents passed away.
Slowly, he lifted his bloodied face, locking eyes with Yung Fei in silent defiance.
His reaction only fueled Yung Fei’s fury. His anger boiled over.
"How dare you look at me like that? Have you forgotten who I am?"
To Yung Fei’s surprise, Li Jie let out a dry laugh. "Everyone in this village knows exactly who you are—the arrogant son of the village chief with no manners whatsoever!" he retorted firmly.
"You bastard! The three of you, beat him until he can’t move! Kill him if you have to!" Yung Fei roared.
"Kill him?" one of his friends hesitated.
"Don’t be scared. My father is the village chief! If he dies, no one will dare to come after us. He’s just a worthless loser who does nothing but taint this village!"
Emboldened by Yung Fei’s words, his three friends let go of Li Jie and began attacking him mercilessly. Punches and kicks rained down on him until the young man with the strong jawline could no longer move.
One of them picked up a wooden stool, preparing to smash it over Li Jie’s head, but suddenly, Yung Fei stopped him. He had changed his mind.
"Enough, enough! If he dies, we won’t have anyone left to beat up. When the stall owner sees his shop destroyed, he’ll assume this loser is responsible and beat him up anyway. Let’s go before anyone sees us!"
Laughing, the four young men walked away, leaving Li Jie unconscious on the ground. They seemed pleased, having once again made him suffer.
The next morning, Li Jie regained consciousness after a sudden splash of cold water hit his face. A moment later, a brutal kick struck his stomach.
Bugh!
His body curled in pain. He hadn’t expected his suffering to continue even after Yung Fei and his gang had finished with him.
Turning his head slightly, he saw the stall owner standing over him with his arms crossed, his face twisted in anger.
"You! You’re the one who destroyed my stall, weren’t you? Or were you trying to rob it?" the burly man shouted.
"It wasn’t me, Uncle… It was Yung Fei and his friends," Li Jie protested weakly, his voice barely above a whisper due to the pain coursing through his body.
"You dare accuse the village chief’s son? The only person I see here is you, you filthy thief!" The man continued to berate him, even though deep down, he knew the truth—he had seen Yung Fei and his gang beating Li Jie and wrecking his stall. But he needed someone to blame, someone to take his anger out on.
"Who are you calling a thief, Uncle?"
"Who else but you? Let me remind you—your parents were executed by the villagers because they were proven guilty of stealing from them. And like father, like son. A thief will always be a thief!"
Li Jie froze, the man’s words piercing his mind like daggers. Questions flooded his thoughts. Why were my parents accused of stealing? Were they really thieves, just as everyone claims?
Summoning what little strength he had left, Li Jie stood up and glared at the man. "My parents were not thieves!" he shouted defiantly.
"What do you know about them, you thief’s brat? You were just a child back then. And now, I’m going to teach you a lesson for trying to steal from my stall!"
The man suddenly swung his fist toward Li Jie’s head. But in an instant, Li Jie’s hand shot up, catching the incoming strike with surprising speed and strength.
The stall owner’s eyes widened in shock. His fury intensified—he felt humiliated, especially since a few villagers had witnessed Li Jie blocking his attack so effortlessly.
With his superior strength, the man managed to wrench his hand free and launched another punch.
This time, his fist landed squarely on Li Jie’s chest, forcing him to cough up fresh blood. His body, already battered from Yung Fei’s beatings, had now taken yet another brutal blow. His suffering was now complete.
The stall owner laughed in satisfaction, pleased with himself for making Li Jie spit blood.
Sensing an opportunity to escape, Li Jie suddenly turned and sprinted away without looking back.
But his actions only enraged the man further. He began shouting at the top of his lungs while chasing after him.
"Thief! Catch that thief!"

He thought there were both positive and negative sides to learning the truth later rather than now."Alright, Grandpa. I’m ready to train now. It's better that I don't know about it yet, as it could disrupt my training," the young man replied calmly.Song Rui was slightly surprised by the drastic change in Li Jie's attitude.

'My grandson, Li Jie, by the time you read this letter, I may already be in a faraway place. I apologize for not being able to bid you farewell in person. Perhaps this is the only way I can ease the pain of parting with you.Li Jie, there is a great secret you must know. Ever since your parents passed away, I have been watching over your life.

Li Jie simply smiled and stepped four paces forward. "Your Majesty, assist the soldiers in dealing with the sect members I’ve already crushed. These two are mine.""Very well, Prince," replied Emperor Sin Jinhao.The emperor’s respectful tone toward Li Jie left Duke Yu Zun confused. Before the emperor of the Tong Dynasty could walk away, Yu Zun shouted at him."Where do you think you're going, Sin Jinhao? We’re not finished yet!""Now that Prince Li Jie is here, you’ll be dealing with him!""Who is this snot-nosed boy that you show so much respect to?" asked Yu Zun, baffled.Emperor Sin Jinhao didn’t answer right away.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking His Majesty from entering the Luhan Duchy!?" a head soldier barked."By order of Duke Yu Zun, no one is allowed to enter the Luhan Duchy, not even the Emperor himself!" replied a man dressed entirely in black. The sword in his hand was drawn, signaling he was ready for battle."Duke Yu Zun is not the ruler of the Tong Dynasty! You've made a serious mistake!""I don't care if you're from the palace. Anyone who dares to enter Luhan Duchy—we will eliminate them!"Hearing faint commotion from outside, Emperor Sin Jinhao turned to one of his soldiers and asked, "Soldier, what is the disturbance outside?""Forgive me, Your Majesty. We are not allowed to enter Luhan Duchy. A group assigned by Duke Yu Zun is guarding the gates."The Emperor frowned with rage. "Who are they?""Judging by their uniforms, they appear to be

That night passed, and morning came.Meanwhile, the three soldiers who had been ordered to arrest Duke Yu Zun finally arrived at the Luhan duchy after traveling all night without rest."Forgive us, Lord Duke... His Majesty has commanded you to appear at the palace!" said one of the soldiers while showing the royal seal given by Emperor Sin Jinhao."What is the matter that His Majesty summoned me for? And how did you end up at the palace?" asked Duke Yu Zun, curious."We were caught extorting protection money from the people, my Lord. After that, His Majesty ordered us to bring you to the palace to take responsibility for what you commanded the soldiers to do."The tall, burly duke immediately stood and put on a fierce expression. His anger surged upon hearing the news."If I refuse, what will you do? What will that foolish emperor do to me!?""We will take you to the palace by force!" one of the soldiers replied."Hahaha...

The arrival of the Shang Dynasty’s crown prince at his palace surely meant something important. But he couldn’t think of any mistake he had made since the meeting at the Song Dynasty’s palace."Forgive me, Your Majesty. But who is this young warrior, actually?" asked a soldier, curious about the worried expression on the emperor's face."He is Prince Li Jie, soldier. Grandson of His Majesty Emperor Li Wei and the rightful heir to the Shang Dynasty throne."The three soldiers were shocked to hear this. They hadn’t realized they had caused trouble yesterday with the future ruler of the Shang Dynasty.

The three of them immediately turned their gaze toward Li Jie, who was feigning ignorance."You dared to kill a soldier of the Wonokerto duchy!" one of the soldiers shouted."Did you see me kill him? I've been sitting here quietly, not moving at all," Li Jie replied."Here's the evidence!" another soldier retorted, showing a bloodied chicken leg bone.Li Jie chuckled softly. He then stood up and approached the three soldiers."If I could kill him with just a chicken leg bone while sitting, imagine how easily I could kill you all while standing!"The three soldiers swallowed hard. They realized they were facing a formidable warrior. Instantly, they knelt down and begged for mercy."Forgive us, Master Warrior. Please don't kill us. We were only following the Duke's orders."Li Jie furrowed his brow. "You were ordered by the Duke?What's his name?" "Yes, Master Warrior. We were ordered by Duke Yu Zun. The security fees we collect from the villagers are handed over to the Duke," one sold
Luhan Province
After leaving the peak of Mount Lawu, he still had to travel to the death Forest to eliminate a branch of the Sin Lao Sect.Morning came. The fire that had scorched the forest on the mountain had died down, leaving only rising smoke swirling into the sky.In his meditation, Li Jie vaguely heard the neigh of a horse he knew all too well. He opened his eyes, and his smile spread instantly as he saw Ireng galloping toward him."How did you get here?" Li Jie asked as he stood up. His hand gently stroked the neck of the tall, black horse.Ireng nodded repeatedly, his front legs pawing the ground."You missed me after just one night? Hahaha!" Li Jie laughed softly and then leapt onto the horse’s back.Seeing his tattered clothes, the young man chuckled. He had forgotten to bring the supplies stored in the barracks before destroying it. “How could I forget?” he murmured.Li Jie took the initiative to return to the Sin Lao Sect complex to find any clothes still suitable for use.Upon arriving
Li Jie vs The Heretic Grandmaster 3
Both of them fought relentlessly without the slightest pause, and their battlefield gradually shifted away from its original location. The impact of their clashing energies caused the burning forest around them to spread even more violently.Seizing a perfect opportunity, the Heretic Grandmaster suddenly sprang high into the air, then swiftly launched his attack toward Li Jie."Heaven Shattering Strike!"Li Jie made no effort to counter the downward attack unleashed by the Heretic Grandmaster from above. Exhaustion had begun to overwhelm his body, forcing him to brace himself defensively.BOOOOM!A tremendous explosion erupted once again — this time even more powerful than before. Trees were uprooted and toppled under the crushing pressure generated by the collision of their enormous powers. The impact was so intense that Mount Lawu itself trembled violently. Animals instinctively fled down the mountain, while birds scattered away in all directions.Within a radius of 40 meters from t
Li Jie vs The Heretic Grandmaster 2
"Draw your weapon, young man! Even though I belong to the dark sect, I still honor a fair fight. I won't battle someone unarmed while I wield a sword!"Li Jie remained silent, focusing on channeling his Demon Flame energy into a sword. This act infuriated The Heretic Grandmaster."If you refuse to draw your sword, don't blame me if I kill you!"As he spoke, The Heretic Grandmaster's eyes widened. In the young man's hand appeared a sword forged from dark crimson energy."Impossible!" Doubt crept into his mind. He couldn't believe his own eyes. "No, this must be an illusion!"He rubbed his eyes repeatedly, but each time he opened them, the vision remained unchanged. "How can you create an energy sword?""Do I need to show you? Even if I did, it's unlikely you could replicate it. You haven't even grasped the nature of your own energy," Li Jie replied coldly."Impossible!" The Heretic Grandmaster still couldn't fully believe it. Li Jie concentrated on the energy sword in his grasp, inte
Li Jie vs The Heretic Grandmaster
At the very least, if you can prove you're the grandson of that decaying emperor, I could proudly present your head to your grandfather-before I kill him too! Hahaha!"No sooner had the Heretic Grandmaster spoken than Li Jie was flung far backward. The attack from the Black Peak Sect leader was so swift that the handsome young man couldn't perceive it.Li Jie's body tumbled uncontrollably before crashing to the ground, carving a deep groove in the earth. His momentum only ceased after he collided with several trees, causing them to topple. Fortunately, the Demonic Fire Energy within him reacted swiftly, providing a defense-though the impact was still significant."Ugh... Ugh...!" Li Jie coughed several times, then spat out fresh blood from his lips. He wiped the blood from his chin with the back of his hand, aware that internal injuries had occurred.Before standing, Li Jie channeled the Demonic Fire Energy to alleviate the pain in his chest. He felt fortunate to possess such a peculi
