Noxus Glory

Chapter 41 Ghost Constellation Awakens with Crimson Fiery Eyes

Inside the spacious and clean room.

On the table covered with linen, an oil lamp was lit, casting a dim, yellow light on the floor.

Huo Jixing sat upright in the rough wooden chair, looked at the black wooden box in his hand, and casually opened it.

Inside the wooden box was a mysterious item wrapped in cloth, emanating subtle fluctuations of extraordinary energy and a faint red glow.

"talisman?"

Huo Jixing peeled back the cloth, his eyes narrowing slightly, and saw a small, exquisite silver necklace lying inside, with red gemstones hanging from it.

Recalling all the equipment and items from my previous life in the League of Legends game, it seems there isn't a single one that's similar.

"A brand new runic item," Huo Jixing whispered.

He immediately stretched out his right hand, gently grasped the necklace, closed his eyes and concentrated, and could feel the extraordinary properties of the runic item.

"Promotes blood circulation and healing!"

Huo Jixing opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and gently shook his head.

Excellent supernatural trait, especially for Legion Warrior-type Artisans, it stimulates blood flow and heals muscle tears, making it very suitable for combat.

Unfortunately, for him, these two extraordinary characteristics overlap with the Southern Fire.

Moreover, in terms of actual effect, it is completely inferior to the characteristics of the Southern Fire.

In detail, it should be a severely weakened version of the Southern Flame.

[Disassemble the rune item?]

A cold notification sounded in his ear. Huo Jixing looked at the dark green data panel that appeared in his pupils and chuckled softly.

Are you in such a hurry?

【break down!】

Huo Jixing had no reason to refuse and directly chose to confirm.

[Congratulations, host! Decomposition successful. You have obtained 20 units of essence!]

"20 points? That's a lot?"

Upon hearing the system notification after the decomposition, Huo Jixing raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled, and subconsciously glanced at the data panel.

[Essence: 25!]

The essence of the data panel, plus the 5 points from dismantling the wolf fang accessory, has now become 25 points.

"Unexpectedly, I didn't expect the quality of the rune items I obtained this time to be so good," Huo Jixing thought to himself.

As expected of an imperial general!

Although the runic items Darius gave were ordinary transcendental items, their quality was quite high, and they were very exquisite.

This time, the data panel shows everything from strength and physique to agility, spirit, and skill.

They are all marked with a plus sign.

"And what about talent?"

Huo Jixing murmured to himself, his gaze falling on the talent at the bottom.

With a slight tap of consciousness, a crimson star map slowly unfolds deep within the pupil.

On the ancient and mysterious Vermilion Bird star map, seven brilliant stars are distributed, with the [Well Constellation] already lit, reflecting a scorching heat.

At this moment, a radiant light appeared above the next star, [Ghost Constellation].

"As expected, it can be activated now!"

Huo Jixing stared at [Ghost Constellation], his emotions somewhat difficult to control, or rather, he was impatient.

"Activate [Ghost Constellation]!"

As soon as consciousness settled, the 20 points of essence transformed into a deep green glow and instantly entered the Ghost Constellation Star.

The next instant!

The boundless starry sky reappears, and Huojixing automatically enters the state of "introspection".

Beneath the crimson stars, a tall, real figure stood still, gazing up at the magnificent Vermilion Bird silhouette that hung in the starry sky for tens of thousands of miles, his expression filled with awe.

[The stars are all dim, but the darkest night is visible!]

[Like a cloud, yet not a cloud; like a star, yet not a star; it is merely a vapor.]

As the [Ghost Constellation] lit up, a lot of information immediately appeared in Huo Jixing's consciousness.

Golden-red characters, imprinted deep within his consciousness, flickered and danced in his heart. He seemed to understand them but not quite, and a sense of helplessness appeared on his handsome face.

You only realize how little you know when you need to use it; you don't know how difficult something is until you've experienced it.

Although Huo Jixing had some knowledge of the Four Celestial Spirits, he still lacked specific information about constellations.

Now, looking at those shimmering gold and red characters, he could recognize them completely when they were separated into individual pieces.

However, when put together, it becomes incomprehensible, like looking at flowers through a fog.

The data stream is injected along with the refined essence.

Within the boundless starry sky, the star of the Ghost Constellation shone brightly, with countless rays of light falling, and boundless gray-white mist rising and spreading throughout the universe.

"The stars are all dim, yet the darkest night is visible?"

"What does this mean? What can be seen in the dark night sky when the starlight is dim?" Huo Jixing gazed at the ever-changing starry sky and pondered carefully.

"It is like a cloud but not a cloud, like a star but not a star; it is merely a vapor."

"What does this mean? Does it refer to something like clouds or celestial bodies?"

Surrounded by a misty aura, Huo Jixing reached out to touch it, recalling many pieces of information about constellations from his previous life, most of which didn't match up, or were even completely unrelated.

"Sigh, I still haven't been studying hard enough, so..."

"Practice makes perfect!"

Huo Jixing suppressed his helplessness and withdrew his consciousness from the data panel.

He then got up from the wooden table and walked to the window.

With a light breath, Huo Jixing gazed at the dim starry sky and the falling snowflakes. A crimson light flickered in his eyes, and the faint image of the Vermilion Bird could be seen surrounding his pupils.

[Vermilion Bird - Crimson Eyes Fiery Pupil]!

hum!

A golden-red light shone forth, enveloping his black pupils.

But only for a moment!

Huo Jixing's eyes were filled with crimson light, completely dyeing his dark pupils crimson.

Everything within sight was bathed in a flowing crimson light.

Suppressing his excitement, he looked out into the dark winter night.

Beneath the vast, dark night sky, tinged with crimson, faint wisps of grayish-white energy, varying in thickness, rose like smoke signals, soaring straight into the heavens.

Like a cloud, yet not a cloud; like a star, yet not a star.

"Does that mean?"

Huo Jixing seemed to understand something, and immediately turned his gaze to the tall, majestic council hall.

Looking out from the rest area, the council hall in the center of the camp, shrouded in the swirling snow, appeared as a dark shadow, hazy and lifeless.

But under Huo Jixing's crimson gaze.

In the distant black shadows, numerous clouds rose and swirled, some as thin as silk, some like smoke signals, and some shaped like tree canopies.

The largest cloud, shaped like a wolf, stood in the sky, looking down at the camp.

"Darius?"

Huo Jixing gazed at the wolf-shaped clouds in the night sky, a thought flashing through his mind, followed by a glimpse of Darius's resolute face.

But why is Darius's cloud so huge, far exceeding that of the others?

According to the information I remember, Darius was just an ordinary person.

Although their skill level is at least at the level of the Blade of Conquest, they possess absolutely no extraordinary power.

Why?

"etc."

When Huo Jixing recalled his previous audience with Darius, it seemed that he never saw the Hand of Noxus.

A sharp axe called the "Black Cutter"!

"That's true. As an Imperial General and the representative of military force in the future Council of Three, how could he not have some trump cards?" Huo Jixing chuckled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he had worried too much.

Crimson eyes swept across the camp.

Hoji Star looked further into the distance, and the icy world of Freljord came into view.

Beneath the gloomy, dark sky, countless gray-white clouds rose, like thousands of writhing dragons, swaying their bodies and soaring over the frigid snowfield.

The closer they got to Freljord, the more restless the clouds became, their color turning from gray to black and growing increasingly dense, resembling the aura of corpses, bringing a sense of decay and destruction.

"The normal color is grayish-white, so does black represent death?"

Huo Jixing murmured to himself, then looked away, his gaze falling on the three-story building beneath his feet, where he saw nine wisps of cloud of varying thickness swaying and trembling.

Overall, the nine clouds are not very different, and their color is grayish-white with some black decorations.

Just as Huo Jixing was observing carefully

"uh-huh!"

A muffled groan was heard.

Huo Jixing suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and a few tears slid down his cheeks.

"Is this due to overuse?"

Huo Jixing closed his eyes tightly and gently rubbed his hands to relieve the persistent soreness.

Only after a moment did he slowly open his bloodshot eyes.

It was at this moment that he felt most of the blood energy in his body being consumed out of thin air, and the scorching heat of the Southern Fire traveled along his nerves to his brain.

Fortunately, the root cause was not damaged, and I should be able to recover after resting for half a night.

"Vermilion Bird - Crimson Eyes Fiery Pupils!"

Huo Jixing looked at the newly added talent skill [Vermilion Bird - Crimson Eyes] in the data panel, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Recognize their aura, observe their character!

Distinguish clearly between life and death!

His new talent skill gave him a lot more confidence in the upcoming hellish mission.
