The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 30 Introspection: Photographic Memory
As night fell, it was time for dinner.

Gregory and Huo Jixing continued chatting while going downstairs, and they didn't stop even during the meal. They talked and laughed happily.

Seeing this, Amorin, who was holding the dinner plate, looked helpless and shook her head slightly.

Since Huo Jixing's arrival, Gregory seemed to have found like-minded people. He often forgot about time and shared his outstanding insights with Huo Jixing day and night.

"Good evening, madam!" Huo Jixing said hello when he saw Amorin.

Amorin nodded, a smile appeared on her cold face, and with the help of Gregory, she sat on a wooden chair cushioned with blankets.

"What are you talking about? So happy."

"Some extraordinary anecdotes in the empire." Gregory replied with a smile, tasting his dinner with a knife and fork elegantly.

Amorin was slightly absent-minded at the smile on Gregori's face as he stared at her.

It seemed that after leaving the capital of Noxus and arriving at the border of the North, Gregory rarely had such a smile.

The previous time was when I was pregnant.

"What? What are you looking at?" Gregory waved to Amorin, asked in confusion, and then turned to look at Huo Jixing.

"Xing, is there something on my face?"

Huo Jixing, who was lowering his head to avoid the sweet scene in front of him, had no choice but to raise his face and said loudly: "It's very clean, there are no food residues."

"It's my problem, I'm a little distracted." Amorin's face turned red and she spoke hastily.

Perhaps the scene just now was a bit awkward. She looked at Huo Jixing not far away and asked, "Xing, how have you been studying recently?"

"Very good. Mr. Gregory's teachings gave me a deep understanding of Valoran's extraordinary system." Huo Jixing swallowed the cooked meat slices in his mouth and spoke sincerely.

This is not flattery!

Able to civilize the border areas of the Noxian Empire and allow the power of Noxus to shine through.

There is absolutely no doubt about Gregory's abilities.

"What Amorin means is that if you have any questions, you can ask her." Gregory looked at his wife and said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate Amorin. She is a wizard apprentice and has studied in the Imperial Academy for several years."

"Wizard Apprentice?"

Huo Jixing looked surprised. He never expected that the pregnant Amorin in front of him would be a transcendent.

In the previous few conversations, he had only heard Amorin say that she came from Finsworth, a backward village in the Noxus Empire.

Then Huo Jixing recalled the recent time they spent together, and it seemed that he had never seen Amorin use extraordinary power.

"Xing, is your ability biased toward fire magic?"

Amorin put down the silver cross in her hand, held her white chin with both hands, and blinked her blue eyes.

"Yes, I accidentally awakened during a life-and-death fight." Huo Jixing nodded.

This is not a secret. He believes that Wilson has already mentioned his information in the letter, otherwise he would not get this learning opportunity.

"I once heard my teacher say"

Amorin turned her knife and fork, and an old woman's face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Thin cheeks, dense wrinkles, a sinister look, a stubborn temper, and a tendency to fall out. He once took himself out of a place of pain, but also deeply hurt himself.

"You have to learn to deal with your power. It is neither an enemy nor a friend."

"It's who you are."

"You have to understand your own power deeply, especially the power that you awaken through your own efforts."

"That means your talent will make you different from other ordinary extraordinary beings."

"Of course, what I'm talking about is only the knowledge that has been taught in the academy."

Huo Jixing listened attentively. Unlike Gregory's teachings, Amorin's words had a certain degree of professionalism, but were concise and easy to understand, directly clarifying the relationship between herself and the extraordinary power.

Thinking about it carefully, after he awakened [Talent: Suzaku], it seemed that he never had a deep understanding of his own power, but simply used it.

Because in his consciousness, power is his own, he just needs to exert it with all his strength.

And Amorin's words directly cut through his inherent concepts.

until the end of dinner.

Huo Jixing was still thinking to himself. He hurriedly said hello to the Gregorys and returned to his room.

"Strange and contradictory guy!"

Gregory looked at the back of Huo Jixing as he left and murmured softly.

"Is there anything wrong?" Amorin looked at her husband thoughtfully.

"There's nothing wrong with him. He was introduced by Wilson. I believe in Wilson's vision." Gregory shook his head and recalled his contact with Huo Jixing during this period. He had a good personality, but he had secrets hidden in his heart.

It seems that he has just made initial contact with the extraordinary world, but he has unique insights into some things, and even some rumors and events are clearer than he knows.

A very contradictory existence.

He can't see clearly!

"Okay, don't think too much, let's clean up." Amorin stood up slowly, holding her belly, and cleared the dining table in front of her.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Huo Jixing has it, she has it, and Gregory has it too!
Huo Jixing returned to the room, half lying on the bed, leaning against the wall, thinking alone.

This is a habit derived from previous lives. In the dead of night, people's thoughts will be completely empty and they will be extremely rational.The words Amorin just said in the restaurant were like a curse, echoing in her conscious mind.

"Understand your own power deeply!?" Huo Jixing murmured to himself: "Is it a mage-like meditation?"

The [Talent: Suzaku] he awakened was the power given by the data panel.

Based on his trust in the data panel, he never thought about deeply understanding his own power in this regard.

Looking back on the past, since he turned on [Talent: Suzaku], he seemed to have only studied the power of Suzaku's Shadow, Jingsu Star, and Nanli Fire, but had no in-depth understanding of it at all.

In fact, it's not Huo Jixing's fault.

He is like a wild weed that can only rely on self-exploration. There is a clear difference between him and the Gregorys.

Gregory's extraordinary knowledge was passed down through the school.

Amorin came from Imperial College.

Perhaps in the future Huo Jixing may also enter a certain academy in the Noxus Empire, but now he can only learn the corresponding extraordinary knowledge from Gregory.

Close your eyes and concentrate.

Huo Jixing saw the unfolded data panel in his pupils, and then he tapped the talent consciously.

A red star map appeared in his consciousness, and blazing flames ignited out of thin air, illuminating the shadow of the Suzaku overlooking the world.

"What about my body?"

Huo Jixing, who was standing in the starry sky, lowered his head and looked at his body.

I saw the red-gold Nanli Fire flowing along the meridians of the human body, faintly corresponding to the Suzaku in the sky.

Huo Jixing stretched out his hand and held it in vain, as if a red star appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Jingsu, the fire of Qinanli must be weighed by Suzaku!"

As the words fell, the Nanli fire in the body exploded, as if burning the body and burning away the flesh and blood.

"Meditation and body observation are what they are!"

Huo Jixing looked up at the silhouette of the Suzaku with its wings spread, and could clearly feel the intimacy coming from the fire of Nanli.

The seemingly terrifying flames clung to the surface of his skin under the control of his consciousness.

"Unfortunately, this is just the consciousness space within the data panel!"

He had a headache thinking about the terrifying blood energy required when the Fire of Nanli was ignited. He still needed a strong enough body to use the Fire of Nanli unscrupulously.

However, this unexpected harvest already made him very satisfied.

Compared with the rough use of Nanli Fire before, he can now reduce the consumption of energy and blood to a certain extent.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing, who was about to exit the data panel, seemed to have discovered something and looked carefully at the dark green data flow flowing line by line.

[Name: Huo Jixing]

【Essence: 5】

【Strength: 2.17】

[Physical: 2.25]

[Agility: 2.37]

【Spirit: 3.50】

[Skills: Advanced warrior, survival in the wild, inner vision, photographic memory]

[Talent: Suzaku]

"Having done inner meditation, you have a photographic memory?" Huo Jixing looked at the two extra entries in the skill with a stunned expression.

No, what's the situation?
Why are there two more obviously extraordinary entries?

"It's really a huge debt of gratitude." Huo Jixing rubbed his face and said helplessly to himself.

He looked at the entry [Inside View of the Body], which should be the special state he entered when observing the shadow of Suzaku in the starry sky on the data panel.

This time in reality, he closed his eyes again.

You can feel the scorching Nanli fire flowing through the blood meridians very clearly, as if it is completely integrated with yourself, and there is a feeling of blood connection, like arms and fingers.

At the same time, it also confirmed his idea, and the flesh and blood fuel required to drive the Nanli Fire was reduced again.

The meaning of "photographic memory" is even simpler.

It means that you will never forget what you have read, and your memory is very strong.

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the mental attribute with a value of 3.5, and he secretly speculated.

This may be a belated entry after spiritual transformation.

In a daze, he felt an inexplicable familiarity with Gregory and Amorin, as if he had seen them before, but he just couldn't remember them, and he felt extremely irritable.

"Damn familiarity!"

Huo Jixing thought carefully for a while, and found that he really couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to give up and suppress his depression.

　According to the opinions of book friends, tanks did have some problems in the previous skill division, so they were changed to shield guards, as follows:
　　Apprentice Shield Guard, Junior Shield Guard, Intermediate Shield Guard, Advanced Shield Guard, Fearless Shield, Shield Master.

　　Thanks to Strange Aqua and Wan Ruoyimeng for the suggestion!
