Noxus Glory

Chapter 21 Powers and Benefits: Wolf Fang Ornaments

"We can't wait any longer!"

Huo Jixing was very self-aware and knew perfectly well that he was not an extraordinary awakener.

Instead, he relied on the data panel to awaken the [Talent·Star Spirit·Vermilion Bird], and then mastered the Southern Flame.

Therefore, he had to use the excuse of awakening in the wild at the beginning to cover up the potential loopholes in this regard, so as not to expose the data panel.

But plans can't keep up with changes!

The extraordinary knowledge he awaited seemed to be a long way off.

"There's still a choice!"

Huo Jixing kept thinking about what Wilson had mentioned about the extraordinary and the skill, and planned to go and talk to Captain Eric the next day.

Back in the restaurant, Huo Jixing finished the prepared dinner and went back to his bedroom on the second floor.

He took out a pine box from under his pillow; it contained the life-saving potion he had received from the Noxian physician at the Grey Pharmacy.

Although Huo Jixing's body has gradually healed, he wasted two days and needs to take advantage of the mission break to familiarize himself with the power of the Southern Flame.

A strong and healthy body is an essential prerequisite!

Upon opening the pine box, one finds a round glass bottle with a metal seal at the mouth and a leather band around its body, on which a line of numbers is engraved.

"Life-saving potion? Number?" Huo Jixing wondered to himself.

It seems that when it comes to extraordinary items, the Noxian Empire doesn't just give them away for no reason. Instead, they are numbered and each user is recorded.

Huo Jixing pried open the metal lid and gently shook the glass bottle. The crimson liquid inside rippled, and a strange, refreshing fragrance filled the air.

"Hmm, it looks somewhat similar to the health potion in the game League of Legends."

Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!

Huo Jixing tilted his head back and drank the life-saving potion; the crimson liquid flowed along his blood vessels and permeated his body.

boom!

The moment the life-giving potion dissolved into the blood, a burning sensation appeared out of nowhere, as if it were burning the body, unusually violent and agitated.

Huo Jixing's pale face flushed instantly, and crimson flames could be faintly seen churning within.

He could feel the liquid originating from the life potion being violently burned and decomposed by the Southern Fire, transforming into a vast amount of energy that was being poured into his body.

heat!

heat!

Huo Jixing endured the intense heat within his body, remaining motionless.

At the same time, he seemed to hear his heart pounding, and the Southern Fire, carrying blood and energy, surged like a stream, flowing along his blood vessels and permeating every internal organ in his body.

In an unseen corner, a crimson liquid stimulated the body, causing layers of muscle to regenerate, filling the shriveled body and quickly making it fuller.

About fifteen minutes.

The oppressive heat subsided, and the surging flames of Nanli gradually died down.

"Is it over?" Huo Jixing opened his eyes, bright yellow flames filling his pupils. "A little too fast!"

Once you've tasted the marrow, you'll know the true flavor!

Compared to the alchemical potion he had taken before, which had been diluted multiple times, Huo Jixing could clearly feel the healing effect of the normal version of the life potion this time.

In addition to the characteristics of the Southern Fire, he seemed to have the illusion of being reborn.

In front of a glass mirror the size of his own.

Huo Jixing looked at himself in the mirror. His pale face was gone, and a touch of color crept onto his cheeks. His emaciated body was also gradually returning to normal.

Overall, he has a handsome face, a strong physique, and well-defined muscles in his arms and abdomen, giving him a smooth and muscular appearance.

Huo Jixing lowered his head and clenched his fist slightly. A crimson-gold flame appeared and slowly changed according to his will.

"It feels really good!"

Huo Jixing stood still, stretching his body, his excitement barely concealed.

The healing effect of the Life Potion combined with the properties of the Southern Fire is very significant.

He then had a sudden thought and opened the data panel.

Name: Huo Jixing

[Essence: 0]

【Strength: 2.14】

[Physical Fitness: 2.20]

[Agility: 2.31]

【Spirit: 3.50】

[Skill: Intermediate Warrior, Wilderness Survival]

[Talent: Vermilion Bird]

"Twice the physical abilities of an average person!"

Huo Jixing whispered that the severe injury status on the panel had disappeared, and all attributes had been significantly improved.

This is not one plus one equals two, but a complete doubling of physical fitness.

Huo Jixing could feel the terrifying increase in his own power. Coupled with the Southern Flame granted by the [Talent·Star Spirit·Vermilion Bird], it could be said that he could easily kill his newly awakened self.

Who could have imagined such a change?

Not long ago, when he had just transmigrated, he was just a Noxian soldier recovering from serious injuries, living quietly in a stone house in the corner.

He has now become a centurion with extraordinary powers and owns his own detached house.

In less than a month.

A scout mission, a battle, an "awakening in the wild"—all these events completely changed his destiny.

And it brought about a dramatic change in Huo Jixing's life.

"We can't relax yet!" Huo Jixing thought of the scene he saw in the gray pharmacy and the destruction of the Noxian outpost in Freljord. It seemed that the situation of the war was quietly changing.

"I must do everything in my power to improve myself!"

Sitting upright on the edge of the bed, Huo Jixing took out a broken wolf tooth ornament tightly wrapped in linen from under his pillow next to a pine box.

These are spoils of war from a Beast Spirit Apprentice!

The bone ornament is shaped like a wolf's tooth, has a rough texture, and shows signs of wear on its surface. There is a small hole at the top, but the rope that ran through it has turned to ashes.

"Extraordinary items, or rather, runic items?"

Huo Jixing rubbed the broken wolf tooth with his fingers and could feel a faint energy fluctuation, but he had studied it many times and had never found any extraordinary characteristics.

"Is it geared towards Beastmaster?"

At the same time, the previously stable data panel began to ripple with green light, indicating a decomposition.

"break down!"

Huo Jixing thought for a moment and then chose to decompose.

The moment the message was conveyed, the data panel, which had been eagerly awaiting its arrival, reflected a deep green stream of data that seeped into the pupils and slowly melted the wolf fang ornament in the palm of the hand.

However, in a short while, the broken wolf tooth ornament disappeared.

[Congratulations, host! Decomposition successful. You have obtained 5 units of essence!]

A cold notification sounded in his ear, and Huo Jixing frowned slightly. Compared to the broken green gemstone before, the amount of essence was reduced by half.

Is it due to a difference in quality?

Huo Jixing's thoughts raced, and his gaze fell on the data panel.

This time, there is no plus sign after strength, physique, agility, spirit, or skill.

Insufficient essence prevents attribute enhancement.

"Runes...magical prowess!"

Huo Jixing murmured to himself, and with a thought, he lightly tapped the talent on the data panel.

A crimson star map slowly unfolds deep within the pupil, adorned with seven stars that outline the shadow of the Vermilion Bird.

Looking at the seven stars, [Well Constellation] is already lit, granting it the power of Southern Fire. However, to unlock the next star, [Ghost Constellation], the data panel indicates that a full 20 points of essence are required.

"There's a big difference!" Huo Jixing closed the data panel, lay on the bed, and fell into deep thought.

He wasn't in a hurry to add points to attributes like strength and physique, because the Southern Fire surging within his body was still refining and tempering him, leaving room for improvement.

For Huo Jixing at present, the most important thing is to continue to activate the Seven Stars of the Vermilion Bird and obtain more Vermilion Bird power.

So, everything, in the end, comes down to one thing.

He needs more extraordinary items!
