[Name: Huo Jixing]

[Physique: 19.99]

[Talent: Star Spirit·Suzaku Stance, Star Spirit·Blue Dragon]

Huo Jixing looked at the data panel, and the four basic attributes were flashing in his field of vision.

Sometimes it is dim, sometimes it lights up with dark green brilliance, and sometimes there is an orange glow emerging.

"The attribute values ​​have all reached 19.99!"

Whether it is strength and physique, or agility and spirit, they are just a little bit closer to reaching 20 points.

"legend!"

Huo Jixing felt a sense of hope in his heart.

The confrontation with Morgana made him clearly aware of his own shortcomings.

It also breaks his previous views on the Eternal Nightmare Nocturne and the Demonic Clown Shaco.

Huo Jixing had previously experienced the remaining nightmare power and Shaco's demonic power that reflected reality.

Although he had already predicted their strength in his heart, the cold reality almost made him face death.

Morgana's action completely made him understand how terrifying the existence above the legend was.

In myths and legends, these beings are comparable to gods and can compete with the stars in the heavens. They are far more powerful than imagined.

Huo Jixing looked at the data panel that was still changing and sighed softly.

After he left the capital of Demacia, the data panel began to change, and it lasted for many days and could not stop.

This made his heart agitated with great anticipation.

Once the four basic attributes that flashed stopped, he would definitely step into the realm of legend.

Except, of course, the data panel changes.

What Huo Jixing gained this time at Dawn Castle was also the inspiration that Xin Zhao brought to him.

"Conquer the Grandmaster!"

He looked at the master of conquest displayed behind the skills on the data panel, his eyes flickering.

The chemical reaction produced by the combination of extraordinary strength and technical skills far exceeded his expectations.

Superb!

Extraordinary and holy!

Even when Huo Jixing thought about it now, he still found it unbelievable to see Xin Zhao's skills.

Xin Zhao is just an ordinary person.

However, the three-clawed dragon spear in his hand stopped him from moving forward.

You must know that the power you had at that time was only one step away from entering the realm of legend.

However, Xin Zhao is no longer in his youthful state, and his body's various functions have declined seriously.

"The road after Grandmaster?"

"Or is it that the path to becoming a master is much more than it seems?"

Huo Jixing was thoughtful.

The terrifying skills shown by Xin Zhao completely shattered his prejudice against the path of skills.

Although he once attached great importance to his own skills and combined Nanli's fire with skills.

But the power of the stars brought by the Suzaku Constellation and the Qinglong Constellation suppressed his earlier thoughts about skills.

Since I can use extraordinary strength to crush the opponent to death.

So why should we practice our skills day and night regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter?

This is also the thought of most extraordinary people.

"The world of Valoran is too vast. I used to sit back and look at the sky."

Huo Jixing thought of the last skill that Xin Zhao had displayed, and felt a little dazed.

【New Moon Guard】!

The battle was too fierce at that time, and he couldn't determine whether it was due to skill or an unknown state.

But Xin Zhao was in the [Crescent Guard] state, no matter what he did, there was nothing he could do.

They can only forcefully consume Xin Zhao's physical and mental strength and force him to exit the [Crescent Guard] state.

"Haha, Xin Zhao has already brought such a big surprise, but what about the other heroes?"

Huo Jixing seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed softly.

In the memory of the past life, there are several people whose skill level is no less than that of Xin Zhao.

There was one in the capital of Demacia, but he had no chance to see it this time.

Peerless Swordswoman Fiona!

The most fearsome duelist in Valoran.

In addition, there are heroes such as Weapon Master Jax, Infinite Sword Master Yi and so on.

And deep in Huo Jixing's heart.

He vaguely felt that the shock of Xin Zhao's skills was the biggest gain from this trip to Dawn Castle.

Instead of Morgana's dark flame power.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Suddenly, the snow-white Poro who had been buried in his arms made a sound and opened his sleepy eyes.

Huo Jixing heard the sound and went away, seeing the hungry expression on the snow-white Poro's face, he sighed helplessly.

Sometimes he often blames himself for why he has to pick up this little guy who sleeps when he is full and eats when he is full.

During the battle in Dawn Castle, this little guy seemed to be in a deep sleep, hiding in his arms and not daring to make any movement.

If not at the last moment, facing Morgana's dark sphere.

This little guy was biting his own clothes like crazy. Huo Jixing really thought it was sleeping.

"hungry?"

Huo Jixing rubbed the snow-white Poro's head, trying to calm down and scold him a few times.

But in the end, he chose to forgive it under the little guy's clear eyes.

Huo Jixing stood up, carrying the snow-white Poro in his arms, and walked to the bronze mirror in the room.

A handsome face with black hair and black eyes reflected on the smooth mirror.

"There are some big changes!"

Huo Jixing looked at the young man in the mirror. His expression was a little pale, his pupils were glowing, and a slight beard appeared on his chin.

The figure is also much stronger, and the delicate figure before is completely lost. He is completely different from the other two.

Crunch!

As soon as Huo Jixing opened the door, he saw Catalina sitting at the window edge.

Her long crimson hair was spread loosely, but it still couldn't hide her slim figure.

Hearing the voice from behind, Catalina immediately turned her head, a smile appearing on her slightly pale face.

"Is your injury healed?"

Catalina couldn't hide her surprise in her tone.

Because she saw that Huo Jixing's hands were no longer as badly injured as before.

The finger, which has almost only the phalanges left, is almost completely healed.

Delicate skin and flesh cover the phalanges, and you can't see any difference from before the injury.

Raise the dead, flesh and bones.

Catalina once again saw Huo Jixing's terrifying healing ability.

But now that Huo Jixing was wearing a coat, she couldn't see the injury on her abdomen, so she asked.

Huo Jixing shook his head and replied: "It can only be said that he barely suppressed it."

With the suppression of Nanli's fire and Donghua Yimu's energy, Morgana's dark flame power will be eliminated sooner or later.

But now it can only be said that the power of the dark flame is suppressed around the wound to prevent it from continuing to erode.

Huo Jixing walked over and sat across from Catalina. He looked confused when he saw the letter paper placed on the wooden table.

"This is the news from the Kingdom of Demacia compiled by the Reese Guard Secretary." Katarina said softly.

After hearing this, Huo Jixing picked up the letter and read it carefully. "Sure enough, Prince Jarvan and the Silver Council chose to set up defenses at the kingdom's border."

"The intention is to prevent Katarina and I from leaving directly from the border and returning to the Noxus Empire."

Huo Jixing thought to himself after reading the letter.

Fortunately, I chose to come to Mithril City at that time, wanting to replicate the way I entered the Kingdom of Demacia and leave this land of right and wrong.

"Is there any news from Francis?" Huo Jixing asked.

After that night's battle, he was seriously injured and unable to care about Francis and the others, and fled the capital in a hurry.

"There was news a few days ago." Catalina replied.

"Francis and the others have successfully moved to the new safe house and are fine for the time being."

"However, Demacia has entered a state of martial law and is conducting a comprehensive investigation of all suspicious persons."

"They don't dare to come forward, so they lurk in the dark and wait for the opportunity."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, which was in line with the approach of Leiser's defense secret base.

After all, he and Catalina made too much noise that night.

The Fearless Vanguard Legion, the palace guards, and the Lightbringer Temple all suffered heavy losses.

And Prince Jiawen was assassinated.

This was the sole heir to the Kingdom of Demacia, and news of the assassination spread directly throughout the capital.

In particular, the assassin's identity as a Noxus Empire instantly aroused the indignation of the Demacians, and the public was furious and wanted to start a border war again.

"Where's Dawn?"

Huo Jixing's heart moved. He thought of this old friend and asked.

He had just left Mithril City, and not long after that, he returned here in such an embarrassing state, which really disturbed Dao En.

"I came back not long ago. I should still be in the hotel." Catalina thought for a moment, her eyes flashed, and she replied softly.

"He's been out a lot lately, looking for the right medicine."

Although she knew in her heart that Huo Jixing had extraordinary healing abilities.

But Huo Jixing's wounds were too scary. They were transparent from front to back, with no flesh and blood visible.

She had to drive Dawn to find the medicine.

"Want to see him?"

"No, I'm just a little hungry and want him to prepare a hearty meal." Huo Jixing said with a smile.

"I'll make arrangements." Catalina immediately stood up and left.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Catalina walking downstairs in a hurry.

Then he turned his head and looked at the peaceful scenery outside the window.

The white buildings stretch into the distance, and the roaring sound of the waterfall stirs up the clouds.

The Demacian dragonfowl that used to appear frequently in the skies above Mithril City rarely appeared, as if they had more important things to do.

Huo Jixing thought of the services Dawn had provided for him and Catalina during this period, and made a mental note.

When he returns to the Noxus Empire and meets His Majesty Swain, he will definitely mention a few words.

Although he possesses the Qi of Donghua Yimu, the medicine sent by Dao En has indeed provided him with a lot of help.

The star of Kangsu has the effect of hundreds of medicines.

The star of Dixiu has the life essence of mountains, forests and vegetation.

After the transformation of Donghua Yimu's Qi, he absorbed the essence of power from many medicines, effectively making up for the consumption of Qi and blood in his body.

After a cup of tea.

Katarina and Dawn walked up together, each holding a dinner plate filled with food.

"Lord Huo Jixing, it's nice to see you again."

Dawn calmly put down the plate in her hand, a touch of relief filling her deep eyes.

In fact, during this period, Catalina's pressure was too tight, making him and his subordinates breathless.

Huo Jixing heard the change in Dawn's tone and saw that his face and eyes were full of fatigue and bloodshot eyes.

Huo Jixing looked at Catalina without trace, then looked at Dawn and spoke softly.

"Have you eaten?"

"Sir, it's already afternoon, I've already eaten." Dawn replied.

"It's okay, we can eat some together." Huo Jixing laughed.

Upon hearing this, Dao En was about to respond, but suddenly felt a biting chill coming from behind.

It's Lady Katarina!

Then he understood something and spoke immediately.

"No, I still have some things to deal with, which are more important."

After saying that, Dawn immediately walked away without waiting for Huo Jixing's answer.

"They won't."

Dawn walked down the wooden steps and looked at Huo Jixing and Catalina out of the corner of his eye, looking strange.

After leaving the second floor, Dao En quickly ordered his subordinates not to go up unless there was something urgent.

Huo Jixing looked at Dawn's leaving figure in surprise, doubts rising in his heart.

But the food was ahead of him, and he was a little hungry, so he immediately invited Catalina to enjoy it together.

During the meal, the little guy Snow White Poro abandoned Huo Jixing again and ran to Catalina.

While making cute expressions, it rubbed Catalina's face, making Catalina put down her stern expression and laugh softly.

After dinner.

After Huo Jixing chatted with Catalina for a while, he was ready to return to the room to continue healing.

Snow White Poro was somewhat reluctant to stay with Katarina.

Let Huo Jixing go back on his own.

That night.

In the dark sky, the stars are bright and shining with a cold light.

The bustling Mithril City fell into silence, with the occasional gentle sound of wind blowing the leaves and making a rustling sound.

The only patrolling soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia were on the streets, telling them that the storm in the capital had affected the northern border.

The hotel room was filled with green light, and occasionally red-gold fireworks would light up.

Huo Jixing entered the state of [Inside View of Oneself].

In the spiritual world, he saw that the wound on the abdomen belonged to Morgana's dark flame power, which still refused to give up and corroded the flesh crazily, intending to expand the injury.

But under the impact of Nanli's Fire and Donghua Yimu's Qi, the Dark Flame's power was like a rootless tree, teetering on the edge, and had to retreat to the position of the wound.

The dark lines extending all around had long since disappeared, and were filled with red-gold flames.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing was slowly expelling the dark flame power from his body when he suddenly heard a familiar chirping sound.

"It's a Demacian dragon bird!"

In the silent night, the call of the Demacian dragonfowl is very identifiable.

Huo Jixing originally wanted to ignore it, but thinking of his current situation, he quickly exited the [Inside View of Oneself] state.

"To be able to ride a Demacia dragon bird back to Mithril City late at night, there must be something going on."

Huo Jixing's consciousness flashed, and a red-gold color appeared in his eyes.

Suddenly, he saw familiar clouds falling into the mithril city from the distant sky.

"It's Lux!"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows. Thinking of Miss Crown Guard's intelligence, his heart tightened and he realized what she might have guessed.

In the town of Forsbarrow, his lies were broken by Lux's intelligence.

"It seems that Mithril City cannot stay any longer."

Huo Jixing whispered in his heart, preparing to leave Misilver City tomorrow.

He originally wanted to wait until the dark flame power was expelled from his body before leaving the Kingdom of Demacia.

But Lux's unexpected arrival disrupted his plans.

"The power of refraction."

Huo Jixing withdrew his gaze, remembering Lux's extraordinary power, and his eyes flickered slightly.
