The Glory of Noxus

Time is like colored sand in an hourglass, sinking slowly and never looking back.

The life in the Knoxkalia Arena seemed to bring Huojixing back to the peaceful days when he first came to Valoran.

A person stayed quietly in the arena, no one cared about him, no one cared about him.

He was also happy with this, practicing hard every day and enjoying the pleasure of increasing strength.

In terms of time allocation, he usually spends his free time in the morning practicing his skills.

Although the cell space is far less than that of Cui Fali's training ground, it is still more than enough for walking around with a knife.

After lunch, afternoon time.

He began to mutually verify his own skills with the Fire of Nanli, and continued to move forward along the path of extraordinary skills.

Evening is the time for "introspection of one's own body".

He understood the Sinking Star Chart and meditated deeply while improving his compatibility with the Fire of Nanli.

Time passed quietly like this.

However, the Noxian soldiers in charge of the prison often came over.

He gradually became familiar with Huo Jixing.

In addition to the reason for Draven's orders, after seeing Huo Jixing's superb skills, the Noxian soldiers would ask for advice on some technical doubts.

Huo Jixing didn't hide his secrets and answered questions carefully every time.

After all, the arena is someone else's responsibility. It's only natural that you should give something while being taken care of.

Although there are many skills, it cannot be said that they are all covered.

But since he had almost set foot in the realm of a grandmaster, he still had a clear vision. By analogy, he quickly gained the support of the Noxian soldiers.

The time that was originally very leisurely became even more leisurely.

At noon.

In the dark prison, the dim yellow light flickered, and the cold winter wind soaked the air.

"Sir, the liquor you requested has been delivered."

The Noxian soldier on duty quickly opened the cell chain and brought in the dinner plate in his hand.

Two well-cooked meats, a well-prepared vegetable soup, a plate of solid white bread, and a small pot of strong wine.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes and gently lifted the long knives on his knees.

"So early?" Huo Jixing said with a smile.

"Maybe there are activities in the evening, and the work this morning is not very busy." The young Noxian soldier scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly put down the plate in his hand, walked up to Huo Jixing, and asked for advice on the technical difficulties he had encountered recently.

The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal.

In the military camp, after the initial systematic training, the Noxian soldiers could only rely on their own efforts to improve their skills.

This is not the peaceful society of the past life. All knowledge and information can be found online, and if you have questions, you can search for answers.

As citizens, Noxian soldiers can only discuss among themselves when they encounter doubts, and most of the time they take detours.

Because in the Noxus Empire, the price of knowledge far exceeds that of food, and not ordinary people can afford it.

Just like the favor Huo Jixing owed to the Gregorys.

The price of extraordinary knowledge is far beyond what ordinary knowledge can match.

Therefore, the Noxian soldiers in the prison cherished this unexpected opportunity.

Huo Jixing looked at the Noxian soldier wielding his sword in front of him, and thought of the child he had seen at the Trifali training ground, who looked very much like him.

After a cup of tea.

The Noxian soldier cleared up many technical doubts in his heart, saluted, and walked away. The dinner plate would be taken away in the evening.

Huo Jixing began to enjoy a sumptuous lunch while thinking about the actions of the Noxian soldiers just now.

During this period of time, he originally wanted to work hard to break through the obstacles and step into the realm of a master.

But when he really delved into the technique, he found that it was really difficult.

Even if he always deliberately studied the Suzaku Star Chart and carefully observed the changes in the Liusu Star.

There is still little gain in improving skills.

He then decided not to practice his skills in the morning, but to meditate more deeply.

Finished all lunch.

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the small pot of strong liquor.

The pot body made of steel is somewhat small and has some patterns on the edges.

Being able to drink freely in the Knox Scalia Arena meant that Draven really took good care of himself.

Otherwise, even if he asked, the Noxian soldiers would not comply.

As for the prisoners in other cells, not to mention maintaining a rich meal throughout the day, it is very good to have meat to eat, not to mention a small pot of strong liquor in front of them.

Gurgling! Gurgling!

After drinking alcohol down his throat, Huo Jixing's complexion quickly turned red, and a red-golden glow filled his pupils.

He immediately looked at the starry sky and looked at the boundless starry sky.

In the haziness, the extremely luxurious Suzaku reflected the sky, its red wings stretched out, covering the sky and the earth.

The red golden beak taps the boundless starry sky, like ripples on the calm lake surface, and countless lights of inspiration emerge instantly.

Huo Jixing was intoxicated by this, letting the ripples rise up and cover his whole body.

When he woke up again, the strong wine in the pot had been drained.

Looking at the red star map from a distance, the magnificent brilliance surrounding Liusu Star seems to be a bit dim, and a straight path of flames can be seen.

Rumble!

Hearing the deafening sound ringing in his ears.

Huo Jixing looked confused. He stood up and walked to the cell, putting his ear against the iron door.

Hearing the noise inside the silent prison, it was like boiling hot water.

Crunch!Crunch!

In each passage, there was a sharp and piercing sound of the door, and then uniform steps echoed in the passage, like the tide lapping against the rocks.

Rows of Noxian soldiers wearing sharp armor walked in front of the cells in an orderly manner, opened the iron locks, and the sharp blades at their waists were slightly unsheathed, flashing with cold light.

When Huo Jixing heard the sound, he couldn't hide his curiosity and patted the cell in front of him.

Within a moment, a Noxian soldier came over and quickly opened the chain, and a roaring noise rushed into his ears.

"What's wrong? It seems very lively!" Huo Jixing looked at the Noxian soldier in front of him. It was the young guy he met at noon.

"There will be a gladiatorial performance tonight!" the Noxian soldier said excitedly, with a fanatical look on his face.

Huo Jixing suddenly felt enlightened and remembered the memory information from his past life.

Over the past hundreds of years, performances in the gladiatorial arena have always been an important traditional symbol of Noxus——

They punish criminals and resolve disputes between nobles!

"Can I go and have a look?"

Ordinary life always needs a little spice to bring some changes.

"This" the young Noxian soldier looked hesitant, then he thought of the relationship between Huo Jixing and Lord Draven, and nodded solemnly.

"I need to ask Lord Draven for instructions."

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Huo Jixing nodded slightly to express his understanding.

The young Noxian soldier also left the door open and ran away to meet the centurion in charge of prison affairs.
