The Glory of Noxus

Sonorous! Sonorous! Sonorous!

The familiar courtyard was shrouded in the light of swords and shadows.

The sound of light steel clashing lasted for a long time, like rain hitting banana trees or beads falling on a jade plate, with an unspeakable charm.

Stab it--!

Suddenly, a harsh and sharp friction sound appeared, breaking the flash of swords in the courtyard.

Huo Jixing's figure suddenly retreated from the shadow of the sword, and waves of surging air lifted up his clothes and armor.

Bang!

Using his left foot as a support point, Huo Jixing forced himself to stop retreating.

The slender long knife in his hand was erected in front of him, his eyes stared at Eric's wild face, and his fighting spirit rose.

Squeak!Squeak!

The giant sword dragged the ground, and Eric shook his neck and walked slowly. His strong body and fierce momentum seemed like dark clouds pressing down on the city, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

Huh-huh!

Huo Jixing took a long breath, and the heart in his chest beat like a drum, and the hot blood burst out and rushed along the blood vessels.

The dark pupils have already been dyed red, and wisps of golden-red fireworks extend from the palm of the hand and fill the blade.

Considering his current strong physique, this is just a normal consumption of energy and blood and will not affect his body.

boom!

Huo Jixing stepped forward, and the bluestone ground under his feet groaned. The terrifying power was released from his body, passing through his feet, waist, shoulders, and finally through his arms.

【Suzaku · Flurry】

The slender long knife danced, wrapped in blazing flames, and turned into afterimages, spreading across the courtyard like burning clouds.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

At the same time, there seemed to be a cry.

It's the sound of a knife cutting through the air.

There was a burst at first, and then in a moment, they formed one after another, just like the chirping of thousands of birds.

Sonorous! Sonorous! Sonorous!

After a moment!

The low chirping of the birds disappeared, and the sound of swords clashing like a sudden rain resounded in the sky.

In the courtyard, the spreading fire cloud boiled completely, like hot molten lava, burning the steel sword wind formed by the giant sword.

"open!"

The fire burned in the cloud, and a low roar exploded.

Eric stepped forward, the muscles of his arms stretched out his armor, and the giant sword swung in his hand suddenly.

Instantaneous.

The steel sword roared loudly, carrying the power of Pei Ran, and cut through the fireworks in the sky.

Whoops! Whoops!

In the hot air, the fireworks gradually extinguished.

Huo Jixing gasped, looked at Eric who came out, put away the slender knife, and shook his head slightly.

Eric's hair and robe seemed to be curled up with heat, and his giant sword also had burn marks, but overall, it didn't look like he had suffered any serious damage.

"You are becoming more and more proficient in mastering the power of fire." Eric stepped forward and looked at Huo Jixing, who was approaching, with surprise and admiration in his eyes.

The progress is so great!

Compared with the previous horrific battles in Freljord, the flames that burned the sky and boiled the sea swallowed up many marauders, frostfang giant wolves and beast spirit apprentices with violent force.

The current Huo Jixing is far from exerting his extraordinary power.

But his physical fitness has improved significantly. His strength, speed, physique and physical coordination are far higher than a few days ago.

Like a clumsy giant bear with wings, the change is obvious.

In addition, the progress in skills was also staggering. He began to work hard to integrate transcendence and skills with each other.

The violence of the flames and the drizzle of sword light, he was searching for the balance between the two.

Eric shook his head and thought to himself: No wonder he was favored by Legion Advisor Wilson. From what he saw, Huo Jixing's talent was unparalleled.

"Ha ha!"

Huo Jixing laughed softly and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Thank you for your appreciation!"

He is also very satisfied with his training during this period.

Not only did he quickly improve his skills, but it also made him more able to master the Nanli Fire.

For example, the fireworks that just covered the blade were one of the fruits of his day and night efforts.

With his eyes lowered, Huo Jixing opened the data panel.

[Name: Huo Jixing]

【Quality: 5】

【Strength: 2.15】

[Physique: 2.23]

[Agility: 2.35]

【Spirit: 3.50】

[Skills: Advanced Warrior, Wild Survival]

[Talent: Suzaku]

Under the characteristics of Nanli Fire, Huo Jixing's physical attributes are still slowly improving, and they have increased a little more than before.

In terms of skills, Huo Jixing adheres to his own philosophy.

Learn widely and be erudite, be specific and precise!

He spent almost all his time and energy on sword training, plus Eric's sparring, and his efforts finally paid off.

His skills have been promoted from intermediate warrior to senior warrior.

In terms of exploring [Talent·Suzaku], because the body is still too weak.

Once it exceeds the threshold and is used forcefully, it will have the same impact on the body as it did in Freljord.

Therefore, he could only barely maintain the normal use of Nanli Fire. Even so, he benefited a lot during this period.

"Let's go get something to eat!"

Eric's voice brought Huo Jixing back to his mind, he looked at the departing figure and stepped to follow.

Inside the restaurant filled with aroma.

Rich food has already been placed on the table, mostly meat, with some vegetables and white bread, and a pot of vegetable soup.

"Captain of ten, Star!"

DeWitt and Moore, who had already arrived, stood up, looked at the two people who came in, and said respectfully.

"You two are here to eat and drink again." Eric pointed at the two of them and said with a smile, but did not drive them away.

Huo Jixing also waved his hand nonchalantly, motioning for the two of them to sit down.

With the improvement of his status, Huo Jixing became more and more aware of the benefits brought by the empire's power. The food in front of him was just the tip of the iceberg.

Then he pulled out the wooden chair, sat down at the dining table, and started eating.

"No, Xing, why don't you tell me in advance?"

Eric's expression changed suddenly when he saw that Huo Jixing was already eating. He quickly sat down, picked up the bowl in front of him and started swallowing.

On the other side, DeWitt and Moore were not far behind. They used their hands together to eat the food on the table as if they were reincarnations of hungry ghosts.

Unfortunately, compared to Huo Jixing, their eating speed is still too slow.

After almost opening his mouth two or three times, Huo Jixing ate a portion of white bread and a large amount of meat without chewing. After swallowing, he continued eating.

In just a moment, he destroyed most of the food in front of him, but his abdomen did not swell at all and remained flat.

Eric and the others were already accustomed to the horrifying scene in front of them.

When we first ate together, we had a friendly attitude and exchanged a few words with each other, but when we turned around, we almost ended up eating the leftovers on the table.

So now I have developed the habit of not talking while eating, just to save my hungry belly.
