The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

When Han Cheng woke up, it was already late at night. Judging from the scenery outside the window, he could tell that this was the outskirts of the city, but it was still some distance from his club.

Han Cheng tried to move, but found it was no use. He was tightly bound by ropes, and it was clear that they were targeting him.

Two voices could be heard coming from the room outside: "Bro, the manager of Summer Club is giving us so much money. If we just leave this kid here and make sure he can't play tomorrow, we can get another portion of the money."

"Of course, but keep your voice down. That kid might be awake, so don't let him hear us. Although this was done at the request of the Summer team manager, their second team captain also assisted us. Didn't that captain say we shouldn't leak this out, otherwise it won't benefit anyone? You stay here for now, I'll go check if that kid is awake..."

Han Cheng quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Hearing their conversation, Han Cheng vaguely understood what was going on. His kidnapping was related to the Summer team, but the Summer team seemed to have a second team. The team he played against that afternoon should be their second team. Xing Feng's conversation with them must have been about this. The Summer team manager had paid these people to keep him trapped, preventing him from participating in the competition, thus causing his team to lose the match and allowing the Summer club's first team, the Summer team, to win the championship. That made sense.

Soon, the sound of the door opening came from inside, and Han Cheng knew that someone had arrived.

Soon, the man came in, glanced at Han Cheng who was "sound asleep," nodded, and laughed: "Okay, sleep well. It would be best if you woke up and the competition was over. Then we'll let you go, and then we'll... hahaha." The man quickly left. Han Cheng felt a chill, but he was helpless.

Han Cheng glanced at the window not far away and thought of the Mirror World. If only there were a mirror or even a piece of glass in front of him right now, he could leave this damned place.

"Forget it, I'll get some sleep and make plans tomorrow. After all, I didn't bring my phone with me, so I can't contact them. And even if I did have my phone, I wouldn't be able to contact them..." Han Cheng glanced at the ropes binding him tightly to the bed.

"Beast!" Han Cheng thought to himself.

"Sigh!" Han Cheng sighed.

"Sigh!" Han Cheng sighed again.

"Hey!" Han Cheng was already asleep.

-

The next day.

"Damn, it's already past eight o'clock, and the competition starts in less than an hour. I wonder if they know I've lost it?" Han Cheng glanced at the clock on the wall as soon as he woke up. Luckily, those beasts hadn't taken the clock, or Han Cheng would probably be bored to death.

"I'm so hungry!" Han Cheng muttered, thinking that there was still some time before the competition ended, and these beasts weren't giving him any food. Luckily, he hadn't drunk too much water last night, or he probably would have wet his pants.

Pingshan City Gymnasium.

"Why isn't Xiao Chengzi here yet? He's about to go in," Xu Xiaomeng muttered. "Didn't he text that he'd leave first and then meet up with us?"

"Maybe he was just delayed by something, he'll probably arrive soon," Qin Li said.

"I hope so." Ye Bing couldn't help but think of the secret conversation between Xing Feng and that group of people yesterday. Could it be that Han Cheng was in trouble? Ye Bing shook her head, thinking that she might really be overthinking it. Maybe they knew each other.

The first match is about to begin, with Team TOL facing off against Team Summer. The finals are this morning, and the best-of-three format will still be used. If either team loses two or more games, they will miss out on the championship. Therefore, both teams are taking this match very seriously, as everyone wants the championship. Moreover, putting aside the prize money, qualifying for the KPL Winter League is also very important.

"Damn, the competition is about to start!" Han Cheng thought to himself. But his friends hadn't noticed anything yet because they had already sent a text message to Xu Xiaomeng using Han Cheng's phone. The message read: "Don't worry about me, I've already set off. You'll meet up with me later."

Han Cheng was completely unaware of all this, still foolishly waiting for his teammates to realize he was missing and then call the police...

"Isn't Xiao Chengzi coming yet? It looks like he probably won't be able to make it this round." Xu Xiaomeng sighed.

“If Xiao Han doesn’t come, then Coach Qin and I will have to step in and take over his jungle position,” Sima Yi said. “However, I’m very good at jungling. Back in the day, my Li Bai dominated the ranked battlefield, and no one could beat me!”

"Then you should go on stage, manager. I'm worried we'll lose if I go on," Qin Li said.

"Haha, Coach Qin, you flatter me," Sima Yi laughed.

In the first game, Han Cheng did not show up as expected, so Sima Yi took over the jungle position from Han Cheng and chose Li Bai.

The opposing jungler, however, picked his favorite champion, Luna.

At the start, Team TOL adopted a more conservative approach, since Li Bai's power spike comes after level four.

Sima Yi controlled Li Bai to go for the blue buff, but unexpectedly Luna stole it and gave him first blood. Sima Yi sighed, "I haven't played jungle for a long time, and my awareness has deteriorated. I'm not very good at controlling the jungle monster respawn either."

Regarding the jungler position, some people may be able to play this position like a god in low-elo games, even if they used to play other positions. However, that only applies to low-elo games. In professional matches like this, any weaknesses will be exposed.

A good jungler has a level of control over the jungle that is unmatched by players in other positions in a short period of time; jungling is not that simple.

After Sima Yi's Li Bai was killed after his buff was stolen, he suffered another setback in the lane, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Xu Xiaomeng happened to see this and couldn't help but worry for Sima Yi. She knew that every game in today's match was crucial, and Sima Yi was not in good form in this game, so the chances of winning were slim.

In the battle for the dragon, Team TOL fought for half a day but the opposing team stole it.

With Zhuang Zhou's support, Luna on the opposing team became even more unrestrained. Zhuang Zhou, carrying Flash, charged into the crowd and unleashed his ultimate. With the blessing of Zhuang Zhou's ultimate, Luna moved like she was in an empty field, unleashing several ultimates in a few seconds and securing a triple kill.

The opposing Luna was very strong, and the team's control over every detail of Luna was just right. The members of the TOL team couldn't help but recall the last city tournament, where it was this Luna who successfully carried the team, leading to repeated team fight losses and ultimately a crushing defeat.
