The Glory of Noxus

At dawn, the dark night is fading.

A ray of crimson light cuts through the sky, covering the capital of Noxus with a layer of brilliant light.

In the deserted room of the Noxcaria Arena.

"Huh!"

Huo Jixing exhaled lightly, and the burning breath filled the air, and cold clouds rose.

"The feeling of power!"

His red eyes lowered, and he looked at his sturdy body, as if it was carved out by countless exercises and sharpening.

The muscle lines on his body are clearly visible, and each muscle is like a work of art carved with a knife, full of power and beauty.

With the help of Draven and Darius.

Huo Jixing decomposed all the inferior rune items he collected last night.

Of course, the [Healing Orb] and [Red Crystal] are still hanging around his neck.

Then he added these essences to strength and agility respectively, directly allowing all the physical attributes on the data panel to break through 5 points.

Now, he found himself as if he had been reborn, stronger than ever before.

Most importantly, the breakthrough in strength and agility, like the previous physique, felt a bit like breaking the limits of the human body.

Huo Jixing stood up and moved his body gently. Every time he stretched out his hand and took a step, different feelings would be transmitted to the nerves in his brain.

But with the fine control of his mind, he perfectly adapted to the changes in his body.

"Is it a qualitative change caused by the combination of extraordinary and skills?" Huo Jixing speculated in his heart.

In the Valoran continent, some extraordinary people have unparalleled powerful rune magic energy, but their bodies are extremely weak, and they can't even defeat some ordinary soldiers.

There are also heroes with strong physiques like him now.

For example, Draven and Darius, etc.

Huo Jixing thought of the many battles in Freljord before.

Looking back now, perhaps it was because the talent of [Star Spirit·Suzaku] was too abnormal that he had some misunderstandings about extraordinary power.

But after the performance of the Ring of Fire was over.

He can learn more about this from Draven and Darius.

"Well, it's still early!"

Huo Jixing looked out the window at the sky, and immediately his consciousness sank, entering the state of [Introspection].

He had received the news last night.

His last day of the Ring of Fire performance will be held after nightfall.

According to Draven, many big shots will be present.

The honor seats at the front are not enough, and many people of low status squeeze into the second area, or even the third area.

The night is getting darker.

But the Noxcaria Arena is still brightly lit.

Looking down from the sky, the Noxians like worker ants building a nest are crowded in the inner field, and the noise is like a wave, stretching endlessly.

Draven, wearing emerald green armor, excitedly looked at the crowded audience seats, his face full of arrogance.

He met Swain, Darius, the leaders of the Assassin's Guild, and Count Asor Jafari.

"Haha, this is the feeling I want!"

Compared to the boring gladiatorial games before, the performance of the Ring of Fire completely broke the old rules.

Exaggerated performances, bloody and brutal killings.

Although Draven knew that he was not the protagonist tonight, he believed that with the help of this publicity, the whole world would know his name one day.

"Hello, fellow gladiatorial fans!"

"Are you ready for the hottest and most exciting night of the Ring of Fire?"

In order to experience the excitement of the last night, Draven took over the job of the arena announcer, and his wild voice resounded throughout the arena.

And his voice, and his location.

Like a superstar, it caused most of the Noxians in the arena to cheer.

"Everyone already knows that all four performances tonight will be performed by Suzaku."

"Let's welcome Suzaku! Come on stage!"

Dreven roared, but in his heart he complained about the difficult-to-pronounce name chosen by Huo Jixing, just like Huo Jixing's own name.

"And his opponent. Blood Reckoner!"

In the dark passage, Huo Jixing, who had closed his eyes to rest, heard the voice and opened his eyes.

"Is it about to start?"

He patted the slightly nervous sword boy Heini and the young Noxian soldier beside him, and walked along the dark gray ground with a relaxed look.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils]!

Halfway through the journey, the red-gold light filled his pupils.

Huo Jixing saw thousands of clouds rising in the arena, colorful and steaming.

Suddenly!

In his eyes, the red-gold light disappeared.

Tears slid down from the bottom of Huo Jixing's eyes, and then evaporated.

"There are indeed many big shots here."

Above the dome, he saw many majestic clouds in different shapes, dominating the sky, stinging his eyes.

Creaky! Creaky! Creaky!

The heavy steel gate rose.

Huo Jixing stepped into the Huangsha Arena again. The ring of fire that spread all around was burning, the air was slightly hot, and there were deafening cheers in his ears.

Right in front of him, his first opponent was slowly walking out of the dark passage.

"Blood Reckoner?"

Under the blazing fire, Huo Jixing's eyes were dim.

Seeing fat men as strong as wild boars appear in the ring of fire.

They were shirtless, and their fat and white muscles swayed like white waves as they moved slowly.

Red marks are engraved on the face and chest, like blood iron ropes, intertwined and extended, densely covering the fat body.

Boom boom! Boom boom!

The dull sound of footsteps sounded.

As soon as they set foot on the yellow sand ground, eight blood liquidators in the same costume, with cold expressions, surrounded Huo Jixing as if they were hunting wild beasts.

"Is it a war weapon again?"

Huo Jixing looked puzzled and looked at the red runes on the Blood Reckoner. His nose twitched and he smelled a strong smell of blood, which was a bit pungent.

"Haven't you learned your lesson?"

He shook his head slightly, held the knife in his left hand, and stepped forward.

Click!

The sharp sword light suddenly appeared, like flowers of fireworks blooming, instantly covering the many blood liquidators in front of them.

Buzz! Buzz!

Facing the harsh light of the sword, the Blood Reckoner ran.

The blood runes engraved on the body lit up, and thick red mist filled the air, covering the vital parts like armor.

There was madness in their tiny eyes.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Thousands of red-gold sword lights slashed down, and the brilliance of blood runes flowed.

In an instant!

The brilliance dimmed and the blood runes were shattered.

The sharp blade cut across the fat body, and streams of bright red blood sprayed like streams, infecting the ground.

But driven by a crazy will, the blood liquidators were fearless, allowing their bodies to break and blood to overflow, but they still wanted to invade within the scope of the sword light.

"What is this doing?"

Huo Jixing looked at the Blood Liquidator with a surprised expression.

The bodies of these war weapons have been completely transformed, they are murderous and will never find peace, but their choices are somewhat inconsistent with their previous style.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed and he suppressed his inner thoughts.

The red fire blade in his hand kept cutting off their limbs and heads cleanly.

In front of him, the eight blood liquidators stopped like dominoes, falling to the ground one after another, smashing up fine yellow sand.

No, it cannot be said to be yellow sand.

The continuous spurting of bright red blood ignored the ring of fire and soaked into the yellow sand.

The original yellow sand field was dyed red.

Huo Jixing frowned and looked carefully at the red blood flowing on the ground, realizing that something was wrong.

The first gladiatorial battle was too relaxed, not like the style of a Noxian noble at all.

These blood liquidators seem to have been completely abandoned

Just when he was doubting.

In the passage directly opposite, there was the sound of light footsteps, approaching quickly like rain hitting plantains.

"Is it her, Melanie?"

In the seat of honor at the front of the Knox Scalia Arena, Darius looked surprised, his eyes falling on the blood-stained yellow sand arena.

"The Scarlet Awakeners, they spent a lot of money!"

"The new Noxus Empire has attracted the attention of many entities hidden in the darkness." Swain leaned on the wooden chair and hid his figure in the corner of the room.

"They can't wait to extend their greedy hand."

"The Scarlet Secret Society is exactly one of them!"

Darius' eyes flickered as he looked at Huo Jixing in the arena, stretched out his right hand and tapped the armchair lightly.

In the dark passage, a thick steel door rose.

"I hate the eyes of mortals!"

Scarlet Awakener Melanie heard the cheers in her ears, gently stroked the blood-red cat in her arms, and whispered to herself.

"And this meaningless fight!"

"They, haha, actually arranged for me to appear second, instead of being the main character in the finale!"

Thinking of the nobles who invited her, Melanie narrowed her red eyes and walked slowly into the arena with light steps, ignoring the blood on the ground.

"Extraordinary, and extraordinary strength!"

Looking at the beautiful lady in front of him who was wearing a red robe, with long red hair, and blood-red eyes, Huo Jixing felt a little bit of panic in his heart.

Compared to the many extraordinary beings I met, the aura of the beautiful lady was a bit overwhelming.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!

Red-golden light filled his pupils, and Huo Jixing saw blood-red clouds rising.

The overflowing mist took on different forms, including children, old people, pregnant women, and wild beasts, each wailing silently in an attempt to escape from the clouds.

"Huh? What are you looking at?"

As if aware of Huo Jixing's gaze, Melanie smelled the blood in the air, stuck out her tongue, licked her red lips, and laughed softly.

"Haha, are you so eager to become my blood food?"

She stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed at the flame transcendent in front of her.

The recent Ring of Fire performance swept the capital of Noxus, and she heard her servants mention this guy's name.

Now it looks like he has a strong body and sufficient energy and blood, making him a delicious blood food.

[Scarlet·Blood Boiling]!

Melanie's red lips opened slightly, her white fingers moved slightly, and a touch of red brilliance flowed.

In an instant!

The bright red blood all over the arena was boiling like hot molten lava.

The rising red bubbles and the blazing ring of fire interacted with each other, dragging this area into a bloody hell.

Huo Jixing looked around, feeling enlightened.

Except for the relatively clean yellow sand area under his feet, the surrounding blood-stained areas have all turned into a bloody hell, and is slowly squirming, intending to engulf the last piece of pure land.

"Um?"

Huo Jixing let out a soft sigh, lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist.

He wanted to swing his sword to cut the boiling blood, but suddenly found that his arm was like petrified, rigid and stiff, unable to move.

"No, not only my arm, but my body."

Huo Jixing extended his mind and quickly sensed that his body was also like this.

Like a frozen cicada, unable to move.

"Blood witchcraft!"
