The wooden stage floor trembled violently. However, that did not frighten Li Jie. Instead, the young man flashed a smirk that seemed mocking in Zhou Ming's eyes.
"Take my attack!" Zhou Ming lunged forward, striking Li Jie with his powerful punch. Despite his large build, Zhou Ming was surprisingly fast. The rushing wind accompanying his attack proved his impressive speed as his fist shot toward his opponent.
Seeing that his opponent made no move to dodge, the towering man was confident of an easy victory. His confidence surged, pushing him to increase his speed, aiming to secure his win effortlessly.
But that confidence shattered in an instant. Just before the punch connected, Li Jie swiftly sidestepped. Having successfully dodged, the handsome young man then did something no one had anticipated—he swept his right leg across, tripping Zhou Ming.
The massive man fell mercilessly, slamming face-first onto the stage floor.

Prime Minister Yuan Yu also seemed satisfied after helping Prince Wang Wei. He recalled Prince Wang Wei’s words from a few days ago, saying that Princess Cempaka would accept the arranged marriage if Prince Wang Wei became the Grand Commander. In his mind, he was determined to assist Prince Wang Wei in winning the tournament and securing the title of Grand Commander of the Shang Dynasty.Meanwhile, on Stage 4, Li Jie was putting Bima Danureksa in an increasingly difficult position. The tall, burly man struggled to anticipate Li Jie's high-speed attacks.Several light strikes from Li Jie landed multiple times on his opponent's body. The young man believed that this tournament was just an ordinary competition, so he didn’t need to seriously injure his opponent.Zhou Ming, however, had a different perspective. Although his opponent’s attacks had struck him several times and backed him into a corner, their lack of power gave him confidence that he could still win the match.Seizing an opp

Here’s the translated and edited version of your text with proper grammar and the requested name changes:Hearing that, Li Jie became even more eager to show his mother’s necklace to Emperor Li Wei. He had no intention of becoming the ruler if the emperor passed away. He only wanted the ruler of the Shang Dynasty to know that he still had a living blood relative."Since yesterday, there's something I’ve been meaning to ask you both. What exactly is your relationship? Are you husband and wife?"Li Jie and Mei Lian exchanged glances. The kindness Cheng Hao had shown them made it impossible for Li Jie to lie to the man."We are merely lovers and have not yet married, sir.""But haven’t you been sleeping in the same room?"Understanding Cheng Hao’s insinuation about their physical relationship, Li Jie quickly refuted it."But we have never done anything improper, sir. I swear to that," he answered, slightly embarrassed."Do you plan to get married?""Yes, sir. But I don’t know when. Time
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Intent for Revenge
Li Jie’s loud declaration immediately drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant. The same went for the two men who had been harassing Mei Lian.The young man walked toward Mei Lian’s table, his gaze locked onto the two men.“Hahaha...! So the one playing the hero is just a greenhorn?”Li Jie merely smirked at the insult. “Why don’t you answer my question? Or should I take your head as payment instead?”“You bastard! Watch your mouth! Do you even know who you’re dealing with?”“I find it amusing. Every time someone faces me, they seem to forget who they are. Have you forgotten your own names? What a pity! You’re not even old, yet you’re already senile,” Li Jie mocked.Some of the customers who had witnessed the previous day’s tournament recognized Li Jie and began murmuring among themselves.“That’s the young man who defeated the top fighter of the White Tiger Sect yesterday. I bet a fight is about to break out here. Let’s get out before we get caught in it,” one man whispered to
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Coup Plan
"Move aside!" barked a soldier at the crowd of spectators blocking their path.The crowd immediately parted to make way when they saw Prince Wang Wei approaching. The soldier’s attitude, combined with Prince Wang Wei’s arrogance, made people resent this strong contender for the tournament championship.Prince Wang Wei walked proudly toward the participants’ seating area. His sharp gaze locked onto Cheng Hao, who sat beside Prime Minister Yuan Yu. Until the questions in his mind were answered, he would not be satisfied.Time passed quickly, and soon, evening arrived. The first round of the tournament had concluded, and the host had officially announced the 32 participants advancing to the next round.That night, as requested by Cheng Hao, Li Jie left his room and made his way to Cheng Hao’s private chamber."Come in! The door is unlocked," Cheng Hao said upon sensing Li Jie’s presence outside.The young man entered and sat across from him. "What is the matter, sir, that you wish to spea
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Red Lion Sect
All the members of the Red Lion Sect instantly turned their gazes toward the stage."Is that the one who beat you up and humiliated our sect?" asked a burly member."Yes, Hong Li... it's him. I didn't expect him to participate in this tournament as well.""I hope I face him on the stage. I'll make him suffer until he begs for forgiveness for humiliating our sect!" Hong Li sneered confidently, convinced that his skills would force Li Jie to kneel before him."That's right! You must make him pay! He needs to be taught a lesson!" several other members chimed in.As if it was fate, just as Li Jie stood on the stage, the announcer called out Hong Li's name as his opponent.The Red Lion Sect members erupted in cheers. This was their chance to take revenge on Li Jie, who had beaten five of their comrades and disgraced their sect. They chanted Hong Li’s name enthusiastically, their voices echoing through the arena.The loud cheers drew Li Jie's attention. "Aren't those the guys I beat up yest
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Flaming Lion Claw
For Li Jie, insults directed at him would never faze him or make him lose his temper—unless they were aimed at his parents or those closest to him.Li Jie’s laughter felt like an insult to Hong Li. His attempt to humiliate the young man had backfired on himself."If you're trying to provoke me, forget it! You'll never succeed. And one thing you should know—don't teach a duck how to swim," Li Jie said, a mocking grin forming on his lips. He was someone accustomed to provoking his opponents with words, so he wouldn’t be easily influenced."Damn it! How can he stay so calm?" Hong Li muttered to himself, perplexed. He unwillingly acknowledged that this young man was a few levels above him when it came to emotional control.Suddenly, flames erupted from both of Hong Li's hands. He had no intention of prolonging the fight, so he unleashed the highest stage of his Flaming Lion Claw technique."I will kill you, boy! I don’t care if it means being disqualified from this tournament. Your offens
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR The Threat from Li Jie
"You five, come here quickly!" Hong Li barked.He could no longer contain his emotions, even though he hadn't yet heard any rebuttal from the five men.Seeing Hong Li’s face redden with anger, the five men who had been beaten by Li Jie the previous day fearfully walked toward the collapsed stage."Is it true what he said? That you harassed and intended to harm that young man’s lover?""That's not true, Hong Li. We would never do something so low," one of them replied."Yes, we would never do that, Hong Li!" another chimed in.Hong Li hesitated at their denial. He then turned to Li Jie with a questioning expression.Li Jie smirked slightly, noticing the doubt on Hong Li’s face. "If every thief confessed, the prisons would be full. You can deny it all you want, but many witnesses saw what happened, including the owner of the restaurant where you harassed my lover.""Is what you said true?" Hong Li asked."If you don't believe me, let's go ask the restaurant owner. But if it turns out yo
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Cheng Hao's Shock
"Do you recognize or know anything about this necklace, Sir?"Cheng Hao took the necklace that Li Jie handed to him. A moment later, his eyes widened in shock as he recognized that the necklace belonged to Princess Hua Wen."Where did you get this necklace?" Cheng Hao asked curiously."This necklace belonged to my mother, Sir. Her name was Hua Wen," Li Jie answered softly.It was like being struck by lightning. Cheng Hao's body suddenly went weak. He fell from his chair, kneeling before Li Jie. "Forgive me, Your Highness, for not recognizing your presence here," he said, bowing his head.Li Jie was shocked by Cheng Hao’s reaction. That was never his intention when revealing the truth."Please rise, Sir. I am just an ordinary man, like everyone else. And please, do not call me ‘Your Highness’ anymore!""I dare not, Your Highness. I have made a grave mistake. I am ready to accept whatever punishment you s

The Destruction of the Light Sword.
The blood that had been seeping from his pores finally stopped flowing. Li Jie channeled the Devil’s Flame Energy to prevent more blood from escaping. However, despite this effort, he still couldn’t move, as he needed to stay focused on halting the bleeding.The victorious look on Ceng Li’s face began to fade slightly. He could clearly see that the blood had stopped oozing from the body of the handsome young man, whose entire figure was now drenched in blood.Li Jie’s current appearance was truly horrifying. His once-white clothes had turned blood red. Even his face was not spared, covered in fresh blood, making him look like a bloodthirsty creature.Ceng Li’s brow furrowed deeper, his confusion growing by the second. “He should’ve died from blood loss… but why is he still standing tall? Impossible! Something is definitely wrong,” he thought, filled with questions.
Li Jie vs Ceng Li
Li Jie channeled his inner energy to withstand the fierce gust of wind hitting him. The young man realized that his opponent's strength had at least reached the intermediate stage of the Unrivaled Warrior level—two levels above Prime Minister Guang Zi. Yet, in all his battles, Death still remained the most powerful adversary he had ever faced.The wind gusts from the whirlwind formed by the Devils Eagle blade grew even stronger, relentlessly battering him. The vortex itself slowly expanded in size.The storm-like effect caused by the Devils Eagle blade was terrifying. Like a tornado, dry leaves flew along the direction of the wind, along with uprooted grasses.Not only that, smaller trees were ripped from the ground, roots and all. Even larger trees shook violently, their leaves torn from the branches.Still focused on holding back the windstorm, Li Jie was suddenly startled by an attack launched by Ceng Li.The pale-faced man unsheathed his sword, spun sideways, and lunged to pierce
Demon Eagle Blade
Not far from the first mask, he also saw another mask lying in a small muddy puddle."So they really are dead. Those fragments of flesh were their bodies. I must find out who killed them and the Prime Minister!" he muttered with a tone filled with fury.Ceng Li could also conclude that the person who had killed his four subordinates and Prime Minister Guang Zi was the same.The masked man remained silent at the spot for quite a while. Suddenly, he was startled by the sound of horse hooves slowly approaching. Quickly, he darted behind a bush to hide and observe who was coming toward the place."Who is he?"Ceng Li's eyebrows furrowed sharply upon seeing a handsome young man riding a large black horse toward the area.Li Jie continued to spur his horse slowly, venturing deeper into the forest.The young man cast his gaze around as he reached the place where he had fought the four terrifying masked figures. His eyebrows slightly raised upon se

"Who is that handsome young man? Maybe he got caught by the night and slept at the guard post," remarked a woman."Yes, he’s very handsome. I wouldn't mind marrying him," replied another woman wearing heavy makeup."Typical of you, always chasing men! Where would you put your current husband?""If that young man wants me, I'm ready to leave my husband," the woman with heavy makeup answered nonchalantly."You must be crazy! There’s no way a man as handsome as him would want your sagging body!""Ha! Just admit you're jealous! After all, I’ve married five men already. That proves I'm desirable, and this 'sagging body' you mock is still very much in demand.""You don't even realize why they wanted to marry you. They were only after your wealth, not your body!""Hahaha...! Maybe you've been a widow for too long and it messed with your brain? Look at my body, still fresh! There's no way a man would turn me down," the heavi
Air Freezing Spell
The ground split with deep cracks under the force of his attack.Guang Zi swallowed hard. He could not imagine the consequences if that strike had landed on him.The battle continued at blinding speed. Explosions echoed throughout the forest as Li Jie and Guang Zi moved faster and faster.Li Jie seemed to have the upper hand, but the persistent use of the Air Freezing Spell still disrupted his movements. He was forced to keep using Demonic Fire Energy to stay agile amidst the freezing air.Demonic Fire Energy continuously flowed from Li Jie’s body, neutralizing the thickening cold.Guang Zi was visibly stunned by Li Jie’s strength. He had not expected the young man to possess such tremendous inner power."How is he getting stronger?" Guang Zi muttered irritably.Not willing to lose, Guang Zi secretly intensified his internal energy. If previously he had limited the Air Freezing Spell to the area around himself, he now expanded its range, trying to slow Li Jie’s movements even more.Li
Air Freezing Spell
Air Freezing Spell"I better leave this place. If anyone finds out I am here, our plan could fail," said the hooded man."Yes, Sir."The hooded man quickly left the place.Meanwhile, the four masked figures could not hide their shock. One by one, the flying knives that had been protecting their bodies from attacks fell to the ground, disappearing completely. Strangely, although they could see dozens of beams of light piercing through their bodies, they felt no pain at all."Hahaha...! It turns out your attack means nothing, young man!" one of them laughed."Are you sure about that?" Li Jie smiled thinly.Before they could answer, dozens of beams of light suddenly burst from their bodies."Arrgh...!" one by one, the masked figures screamed before their bodies exploded violently.Boom!Li Jie quickly leapt into a tree to avoid the flying fragments of their flesh. He stared sharply at the remains of his defeated enemies.Then he jumped down and ran in the direction where his horse had go
Battle in the forest of Darknes
Li Jie moved toward one of the masked figures and once again unleashed the Demon-Slaying Light Sword technique. But before the tip of his sword could reach its target, a knife shot toward his blind spot and managed to graze his back. Fresh blood immediately gushed from the wound, soaking the back of his body.“Damn it!” the young man muttered under his breath.Li Jie tried to create some distance, but he was too late—two masked figures were already charging at him.“Poisoned Flying Knives!”The two masked figures spun the knives in their hands swiftly before hurling them toward Li Jie’s body. The handsome youth tried to dodge the deadly attack, but one of the knives, launched from a distance by the other attackers, managed to graze his ribs.Li Jie let out a soft grunt. But he quickly realized the knives were poisoned. Black smoke rising from the wound on his ribs confirmed it.The four masked figures stared at Li Jie in astonishment. The youth should have been paralyzed within second
Battle in the Forest of Darkness
Two hours' journey from the village, Li Jie finally arrived at the edge of the Forest of Darkness. His sharp eyes gazed into the shadowy depths of the forest. He was still trying to figure out how he could find the girls who had mysteriously vanished, if they were indeed inside that forest.After thinking for quite a while, he decided to enter the forest once night fell. At least, the remaining daylight could be used to rest first.Li Jie gently steered his horse to another spot, avoiding the path leading directly into the forest. His destination was a massive tree with a thick trunk. Judging from its enormous size, the tree was surely hundreds of years old.He didn’t choose that tree without reason—besides being a good place to rest, he also didn’t want the terrifying four masked figures he had encountered yesterday to discover his presence at the forest's edge."Don't go anywhere! If you see anyone entering or leaving the forest, wake me up immediately!"The tall, muscular black hor

Several soft knocks on his door startled Li Jie from his thoughts. He quickly stood up and walked over to open the door.“Liu Zixuan? Why are you here so late at night?” the young man asked in surprise.“May I come in?” the beautiful girl asked.Li Jie nodded and let Liu Zixuan enter his room.“Prince… if your answer earlier was only to comfort me, then I am already comforted. But honestly, I can't deny what I feel in my heart. If you truly can’t accept me as your life companion, I understand. I’ll try to distance myself and forget you.”Li Jie faced Liu Zixuan and gently held both of her hands.“My answer earlier wasn’t just to comfort you, but to confirm that you are the woman my late wife had chosen for me. So, I believe four to five years is enough time to find the truth. Believe me, if we are truly destined to be together, I will belong to no one else.”Liu Zixuan raised her blushing face. She then hugged Li Jie tightly, as if not wanting to let go. “Be careful tomorrow. I will w
