[Essence: 280]

[Physical Fitness: 4.02]

[Agility: 4.08]

[Skills: Blade of Conquest, Wilderness Survival, Introspection, Photographic Memory]

[Talent: Vermilion Bird: Southern Fire, Crimson Fiery Eyes, Vermilion Bird's Cry, Flowing Fire Feather Robe]

Inside the bedroom, Huo Jixing sat upright on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with the deep green data stream.

Looking at the data panel, his physical attributes have reached around 4 points, with his mental attribute being the most outstanding, approaching 5 points.

These data silently demonstrate that Huo Jixing's physical abilities are improving at an astonishing rate.

Although he is not yet comparable to Kled and others, he has far surpassed ordinary superhumans and is no less than the Iceborn Warrior Georgi Giantfist.

Of course, this does not include the [Vermilion Bird] talent.

In addition, there are as many as 280 points of essence.

The majority of these items are obtained by dismantling True Ice weapons, with a smaller portion coming from dismantling rune items.

These items were spoils of war obtained after the battlefield was cleared following the victory in the war.

The reason there are so many is thanks to Kled's casual remark that his fire abilities can melt True Ice.

Upon learning this, Darius deducted a small amount of his battle merits and handed over most of the True Ice weapons found on the battlefield to him.

Huo Jixing's consciousness fell into the crimson Vermilion Bird Star Chart, appearing in the boundless starry sky, looking up to observe the many blazing stars hanging in the sky.

It was all done in a rush.

The Willow Star and the Star Star were activated out of necessity after infiltrating Freljord.

At the time, caught in the vortex of war, we could only hastily illuminate the stars, without further in-depth exploration and research.

Later, after defeating the Winter's Claw tribe, they rested on the northern border of Noxus.

He began to study the stars of Willow Constellation and Star Constellation in detail, and benefited greatly from it.

[The curved head droops like a willow, and the three stars represent wine.]

After the Willow Constellation Star is lit up, the golden-red characters imprinted deep within consciousness will occasionally shimmer.

Huo Jixing discovered through in-depth research that the skill enhancement brought by the Willow Constellation Star was not a one-time improvement.

Instead, it subtly improves one's skill level, much like how the "Southern Fire" changes one's physical attributes.

Although the skill level on the data panel still showed "Blade of Conquest," Huo Jixing could personally feel that his skill was improving little by little, increasing day by day, accumulating bit by bit.

Perhaps reaching the level of a grandmaster is not out of reach.

There was also [Samsung is wine], which he didn't know anything about at first, and after several attempts, he got nothing.

But during one of his drunken nights, he had an unexpected and delightful surprise.

Here we must mention the good fortune brought by the raging knight Kled.

After the victory in the Freljord War, Kled was probably bored and spent his days riding Skaarl, looking for someone to drink with.

When he couldn't find anyone, he started pestering Huo Jixing.

However, the camp had explicit rules, and Huo Jixing initially refused.

Everything fell into place once Kree, as a general, ordered that his drinking punishment be waived.

One day, after getting drunk, he brandished his long sword, intending to perform a sword dance, but was surprised to find himself in a special state where his skills were significantly enhanced when wielding the sword.

After sobering up, he immediately began to study it carefully.

I immediately sensed the difference brought by the Willow Constellation.

In his drunken, hazy state, Huo Jixing seemed to transform into a phantom of the Vermilion Bird, spreading its fiery wings in the boundless starry sky, its golden beak lightly touching the space, creating crimson ripples.

Although he could only vaguely sense it each time, his skills would improve slightly after he sobered up.

This is also the source of his confidence to aspire to the Grandmaster realm!

With a flick of his gaze, Huo Jixing looked at the dazzling star, its crimson-gold radiance filling his eyes. Fiery red feathers fell, clinging to his skin and transforming into flame armor.

I've tested it before.

The terrifying defensive power provided by the Flame Armor allowed him to charge into battle without hindrance.

Now, he could feel a slight burning sensation from the flame armor, which was gently stimulating his body, making him even more vigorous under the scorching effect of the Southern Fire.

Physical strength is the core foundation for Huo Jixing's use of the Southern Flame.

At the same time, it is also what he has always pursued.

His strong physique allowed him to freely wield the Southern Flame.

Unfortunately, Huo Jixing is only barely maintaining a balance between his body and the Southern Fire, and is far from being able to act recklessly.

【Zhang Su】!

Huo Jixing's gaze fell on the fifth star on the Vermilion Bird Star Chart.

The brilliant firelight made him eager to try.

With the amount of essence he currently possesses, he can already light up [Zhang Su], and the data panel also prompts him whether to activate the Zhang Su Star.

However, he did not choose to start it immediately.

The reason is simple: Huo Jixing is currently in the heart of the Noxian Empire, where he is very safe for the time being.

Moreover, he has not yet fully realized the benefits brought by the Willow Constellation Star and the Star Constellation Star.

When the time is right, he will light up the star of Zhang Su.

Who wouldn't crave immense power?

Huo Jixing's thoughts raced as he recalled the thunderous storms and blazing furnaces he had witnessed during the Second Battle of Freljord.

Even though he was in the Noxian camp at the time, he still felt the terror of the god's power.

Undying Thunder Volibear!

Ornn, the Mountain-Hidden Flame!

The Freljord gods from my previous game appeared before me, displaying divine power that could change the course of the battlefield.

Huo Jixing shifted his consciousness slightly, looking at the quantity of essence.

If he had this much essence before carrying out the mission, that would be good.

It's a pity that life has no "what ifs" and fate has no "assumptions." Everything has already happened and cannot be undone.

Huo Jixing sighed softly, opened his eyes, and a brilliant crimson light illuminated the room before disappearing in an instant.

dong dong!dong dong!

A knock sounded at the door, and Huo Jixing extended his spiritual senses, perceiving the presence outside.

"Is it time for dinner?"

Huo Jixing opened the door, looked at the sword boy Heini standing at the door, and spoke softly.

"It's Lord Wilson. He's waiting for you downstairs," the swordsman, Heiny, said respectfully.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

I had mentioned Wilson to DeWitt before, but I never expected to meet him that very evening.

Huo Jixing and Heini arrived on the first floor and saw Wilson waiting silently in the center of the room.

Still the same.

He wore a long robe with red and gray stripes, and his eyes were bright and piercing, as if he could see through everything in time.

"You're back so soon? Didn't you say you had things to take care of?" Huo Jixing asked with a smile after hugging Wilson.

"Things went smoothly and have been resolved."

At Hodgson's invitation, Wilson sat down on a wooden chair and began to chat.

"Martial law in the Noxian capital has now been lifted, and you may enter or leave the capital after applying."

This was accompanied by the issuance of the "Choi Fa-ri Announcement".

The newly appointed Noxian Grand Marshal Swain and the triumphant return of Noxian Hand Darius together suppressed the noble forces within the Immortal Fortress.

In addition, there was the "Faceless One" representative sent by the Assassin's Guild.

They began to rule the capital in the name of the Trifalli Council, and from there, extended their power throughout the Noxian Empire.

"So fast?" Huo Jixing asked in surprise.

Although he already knew that the Trifalley Council would rule the Noxian Empire, Swain and his group were indeed moving quite fast.

"I've wanted to go in and take a look for a while now, if I were to apply..."

He looked at Wilson in front of him, his gaze wandering, as if waiting for something.

"Haha, you little rascal!"

Wilson chuckled softly, pointed at Huo Jixing, and then took out a dark gray token from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Be careful. There's been some chaos in the capital lately. If you encounter any unexpected situations, just reveal your identity."

Huo Jixing shrugged, indicating his innocence.

He was a complete stranger in the Noxian capital, unfamiliar with the place and its people; he would definitely use connections.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the dark gray token in front of him; it felt nice in his hand.

The token is made entirely of steel, with three indentations on the front and the familiar Noxian double-bladed axe logo on the back.

He saw the three dents, raised an eyebrow, and thought of the three elements representing the power of the Trifalli Council.

Huo Jixing casually tucked the token into his pocket, looked at Wilson, and spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm very reasonable and generally won't cause trouble!"
