Height of Connate Province

Yu Jing mentally prepared himself, looking at the residual visage in front of him. This was the first time he would be fighting after coming to this world, and it was a genius on top of that. So, he prayed in his mind that he wouldn't get his ass kicked, at least.

At that moment, the residual visage spoke. "Are you also trying to get my pills? They are mine—all mine! These were made for m-"

The residual visage couldn't even finish its sentence when a cold glint appeared in the corner of its. 

Ting!

Fortunately, because of its combat experience, its reflexes kicked in, letting it block Yu Jing's surprise attack in time. However, Yu Jing didn't stop there, as this was the start of his relentless attack.

In Yu Jing's book of battle rules, the first rule was to always attack your enemy first, and it is better if he is in monologue or powering up. The second rule was not giving your enemy any time or space to think or do anything.

So, this led to Yu Jing continuously attacking while the residual visage defended itself for its dear life.

However, Victor and the wave of people who wanted to catch Yu Jing didn't know he was following his unconventional way of fighting to overwhelm his opponent. If they knew, they would have yelled at him for not following martial ethics.

As Yu Jing delivered his onslaught of attacks, he was secretly thinking of using his sword technique, the Three Seasons Dance, but he was worried that if he used it here, Victor would know it was him who gave it to him. He didn't want someone to follow him for debt. 

"AHH! You die! You die! DIE! DIE!!" Maybe because it sensed it might die again, the residual visage went berserk. It started attacking Yu Jing frantically with zero regard to getting hurt.

Upon seeing it act like this, Yu Jing also decided to end it fast, as he already sensed many people surrounding the door.

Yu Jing used the only technique he had on his hands—the Three Seasons Dance. The Three Seasons Dance had three forms, all of which were inspired by the three seasons: summer, winter, and spring. The strength also gradually increases from summer to spring, but each form has its own uniqueness.

Yu Jing used the Summer Form first to try out its strength. With an explosive push, he arrived before the residual visage like a bullet. As he raised his sword to swing downward at the residual visage, flame started to burn out from his sword. This wasn't his innate flame, as it can only be people with fire-attributed physiques and spiritual roots. Yu Jing could only use his Spiritual Qi to make flames. However, that was enough. 

The Summer Form was a fire-attributed dance move. Its every swing was filled with pure strength, which was further amplified by the flames. 

At that moment, Yu Jing also faintly noticed a strange energy sweeping into his sword. But he didn't have the time to think about it, as he only wanted to finish this Summer Dance. 

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, even Yu Jing's, they didn't expect the result of Yu Jing's attack. The residual visage's sword shattered instantly upon contact with Yu Jing's Cloud Hymn Sword, leaving it dumbfounded. It didn't end there; as Yu Jing's sword touched its head, its entire body burst into residual energy. Yu Jing quickly stopped his sword, but the power and energy it had left still spilled out forward, resulting in the floor cracking and flames pouring out. 

The pill that Victor and Yu Jing were fighting, as well as other pills surrounding it, got destroyed.

However, no one had the time to care about those pills, as they were still in shock after witnessing Yu Jing's strength.

In the crowd, after one blurted out something, the other followed, making the place a fish market quickly.

"Wha-what is that strength? Is that something Qi Refinement Realm cultivators should have?"

"Yes. This is absurd. Can anyone tell me how this is possible!?"

"I am a veteran of this sect ruin. I have seen many people fight against the residual visage in the same cultivation realm or even higher, but they all struggled. Except for people with higher cultivation banding together, can you take this thing down. And do you know what cultivation realm those people have? Mid to late stage Foundation Establishment Realm!"

Everyone gasped and started discussing Yu Jing's strength, completely forgetting the reason they came here to begin with.

On the other hand, Yu Jing was deeply contemplating what happened. However, no matter what he thought, nothing gave him answers. So, he could only ask the system.

'System, can you tell me how I can have this kind of power to fight against someone stronger than me?'

Unexpectedly, the system didn't give him a paragraph worth of explanation. It gave him a short answer.

[ Mortal Sword God ]

The moment he saw that, the strange energy he felt at that time came to his mind. He once again read the Mortal Sword God's information and knew what went wrong. 

He cursed silently at the system and at himself too. 'System, you gave a bunch of metaphors about this connate province, not the real explanation about its true power. And I am also naive to expect a connate province would be simple.'

One had to know connate provinces were the pinnacle-level blessings of the world, and they had the highest potential anyone could ever have. Except for some physiques, no one can top what these people from Connate Province could achieve. 

Yu Jing decided to explore this province after arriving at a safe place, as he had many things on his hands now.

Yu Jing looked at the huge crowd and then at Victor, who was staring blankly at him. He quickly grabbed his collar and silently left the place amidst everyone's discussion.
