Chapter 24 A senior warrior visits at night
Clang! Sonorous! Sonorous!
The familiar courtyard is shrouded in the light of swords and shadows.
The sound of light steel clashing lasted endlessly, like rain hitting banana trees and 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 forcibly stopped retreating.
The slender long knife in his hand was held upright in front of him, his eyes staring at Eric's wild face, his fighting spirit rising.
Zhizhi! Zhizhi!
The huge sword dragged the floor, 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, turning into afterimages, spreading across the courtyard like burning clouds.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
At the same time, there seemed to be a cry.
It is the sound made by the blade cutting the air.
First there was a burst, and then in a split second, they formed one after another, just like the chirping of thousands of birds.
Clang! Sonorous! Sonorous!
After a moment!
The birds chirped and disappeared, and the sound of swords clashing like a shower resounded in the sky.
In the courtyard, the spreading fire cloud was boiling 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 Peiran's power, and cut through the fireworks in the sky.
Whoo! 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.
Alric'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, his eyes could not conceal his surprise and admiration.
The progress is huge!
Compared to 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 such violence.
The current Huo Jixing is far from exerting his extraordinary power.
But his physical fitness has improved very obviously. His strength, speed, physique and physical coordination are far more 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 is 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.
"Haha!"
Huo Jixing laughed softly and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Thank you for your appreciation!"
He said to himself this time Very satisfied with the training.
Not only did he quickly improve his skills, but he also became more and more comfortable in mastering the Fire of Nanli.
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]
[Essence: 5]
[Power: 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, increasing compared to before.
In terms of skills, Huo Jixing adheres to his own philosophy.
Extensive knowledge and erudition, concentration and refinement!
Devoting almost all his time and energy to sword training, and working as a sparring partner with Eric, his efforts finally paid off.
The skills have been promoted from intermediate warrior to senior warrior.
In terms of exploring [Talent·Star Spirit·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.
So he could barely maintain the normal use of Nanli Fire. Even so, he benefited a lot during this period. "Let's go 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.
Plenty of food has already been placed on the table, mostly meat, with some vegetables and white bread, and a pot of vegetable soup.
"Captain 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 imperial 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?”
When Eric saw Huo Jixing starting to eat, his expression changed suddenly, he hurriedly sat down and picked up the bowl in front of him. Just swallowed.
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.
With 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.
Alec 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.
Hiccup——!
Huo Jixing drank the vegetable soup in the bowl in one gulp, smacked his lips and made a belching sound.
The food in front of them has been completely destroyed, and Eric and the others have only eaten less than half of it. The key is that their food portion is not much, only about one-third of his food.
In comparison, it does seem a bit shocking.
The reason for this is that all the food Huo Jixing eats will be automatically burned by the Nanli Fire and turned into pure energy, flowing along the blood and pouring into every part of the body.
As for Eric and the others, they also need their stomachs to digest food, and the speed is obviously not comparable.
After eating and drinking.
Huo Jixing said hello and left, went to the next room, closed his eyes and rested, preparing in advance for the afternoon training.
As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded, Huo Jixing is increasingly convinced of this.
Unlike others, because of the data panel, he can see his progress all the time and taste the fruits of his efforts.
Such an extremely real feeling made him want to stop and enjoy it.
Training continues in the afternoon.
In addition to him and Eric, DeWitt and Moore will also be watching and learning from the sidelines.
Not long ago, the brutal death battle in the Freljord made them, as Noxus' elite scouts, understand that the situation in the war was different. If they wanted to survive, they had to work harder.
Time flies by.
The hazy night covered the mountains, and the camp gradually fell into silence.
Huo Jixing dragged his slightly tired body back to the small single-family building, but his bright eyes were full of brilliance.
Take off your armor and wipe your body.
Huo Jixing was sitting in front of the bed in the bedroom wearing single clothes.
Winter is still there, but with his current physique and the warmth brought by the fire of Nanli, he doesn't have to worry about the cold weather at all.
He reached out and pulled out the long knife at his side, and a cold light suddenly appeared in the bedroom.
The sword is about three feet and seven inches long, about half the height of a man.
The blade is as slender as a seedling, with a cold light; flame patterns are tempered on the handle, extending around the blade.
The snow-white rag wiped the blade, and it looked like a mirror-like blade. No trace of damage could be seen, and it could perfectly reflect Huo Jixing's handsome face.
This sharp long knife was made by a Noxian battle blacksmith based on the style of the Miao knife he remembered from his previous life. He also spent a lot of military exploits on it.
But after the finished product came out, Huo Jixing felt it was very worthwhile.
Perhaps his talent is really good. Under Eric's guidance, he gradually understood the essence of sword skills.
The usage of the knife is brave, fast, imposing, strong and powerful.
He also relies on body skills to jump far and wide, and has quick eyes and quick hands.
With Huo Jixing's physical fitness being twice that of ordinary people, after the initial adaptation, he quickly took advantage of the sword.
And compared to the dexterity and precision of the long sword, he began to like the wanton feeling when swinging the sword.
Ding!
Huo Jixing flicked the blade, and a pleasant sound sounded.
Then he placed the long knife on his knees, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to recall the day's sparring and Eric's teachings.
Even with the blessing of Nanli Fire, the gap between him and Eric is still very obvious based on his skills as a new advanced warrior.
So summarizing every night after sparring has become a necessary homework for him in recent times, and it is also one of the reasons why his actual combat ability has improved rapidly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as Huo Jixing was sinking into his mind, a sudden and urgent knock on the door broke the silence in the bedroom.
"Who is it?"
Asking for collection, recommendation, and reading
