The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

“There are still three days left…” Han Cheng glanced at the calendar, then felt something was wrong. “It should be two and a half days!” Han Cheng muttered to himself, because he really wanted to spend the New Year with his parents, even if it was only for a few days.

After washing up, cooking, and taking care of a series of daily chores, Han Cheng wanted to go out for a walk. After all, staying cooped up at home all the time wasn't a good solution, and it would be nice to get some fresh air.

The sunlight shone brightly on Han Cheng's face, but he only felt a touch of warmth and the lingering chill.

Han Cheng's destination was the Pingshan City Gymnasium, where an unofficial competition was supposedly being held today. Han Cheng wanted to go and watch. This competition was not an official event, but rather organized by the city's e-sports association. The so-called e-sports association was an organization similar to a university gaming club. With the recent popularity of Honor of Kings, similar organizations had also emerged in Pingshan City.

This competition was initiated by members within the e-sports association. As mentioned above, the organization is directly managed by Tencent Group's Pingshan City branch. It holds a competition every so often and offers high prize money, making it more attractive than regular official events.

Most of the competitions are between members of the association to determine the strongest team. Sometimes, it's an initiation competition; defeating a team within an association allows you to join. The benefits of joining this association are simply the opportunity to win large prizes and make more friends.

Han Cheng also wanted to join, but the membership period is at the end of each month, so now is not the right time. He'll watch this competition first.

Han Cheng had made plans with several people from the club, but Sima Yi said he didn't have time. Meanwhile, Sun Hou Pangzi was busy having Ye Bing help him rank up. Apparently, they had already reached Diamond II and were about to advance to Diamond I and then enter the ranks of King.

Han Cheng shook his head helplessly. Only Xu Xiaomeng said she had time to come. He had originally wanted to invite Yi Bing to come along, but Yi Bing had said before not to contact him unless necessary. Moreover, Yi Bing was going to meet with Leng Rancheng and Sima Yu today, so she had even less time.

After a long while, Xu Xiaomeng arrived late. Fortunately, the competition had not yet started, but it would be soon.

"Hi, Little Orange, long time no see, u~" Xu Xiaomeng waved to Han Cheng from afar.

"Long time no see..." Han Cheng went to greet Xu Xiaomeng. Although Xu Xiaomeng's arrival was somewhat abrupt, even though he was the one who invited her... Han Cheng felt that having Xu Xiaomeng around was still quite nice, at least he had a friend...

Inside the stadium, Han Cheng and Xu Xiaomeng found a seat and began watching the game.

The two sides shook hands amicably before starting their battle.

One of the teams has "x" as the prefix in their IDs, so it should be Team X. The other team has "惊涛" as the prefix, so it should be Team Jingtao.

"Surging Waves? Not bad, very powerful." Han Cheng muttered to himself, thinking that the "x" was probably just a random name, but the team ID "Surging Waves" was alright.

“I think that English team name sounds nice,” Xu Xiaomeng said.

"Uh..." Han Cheng suddenly felt embarrassed, he had just said that was good.

The match began, and neither side gave an inch, each trying to eliminate the other's preferred heroes. After all, since they were from the same organization, they must know each other very well.

The competition began quickly.

Team A, known as "Jingtao," launched a full-scale invasion of the opposing team. However, while Team X sent reinforcements to their own jungle, they also dispatched Han Xin to counter-jungle the enemy team, wiping them out at level one.

"This X is a bit too intense..." Xu Xiaomeng muttered.

"Tsk tsk, I think the Surging Waves team was a bit too reckless, but I feel that their strength is indeed inferior to X's." Han Cheng analyzed. In the team fight just now, the coordination of the Surging Waves team members was obviously not as good as that of the X team. At the same time, the Surging Waves team also lacked strategy. Han Cheng believed that the X team would definitely win this battle.

As Han Cheng predicted, the Jingtao team was completely outmatched from then on. Their dragon was constantly controlled by the opponent, and they were always a step behind in team fights. Several small-scale team fights ended in defeat for the Jingtao team.

At this moment, the members of the Jingtao team were somewhat nervous. They had been arrogant when the match started, but now all their vigor had vanished.

"It seems that the Surging Waves team is quite strong, but they are still no match for Team X in the end," Han Cheng muttered.

"Oh, okay..." Xu Xiaomeng looked completely bewildered.

"Tsk tsk, so cute?" Han Cheng muttered, and Xu Xiaomeng was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing..." Han Cheng shook his head and continued watching the game.

As the game progressed, the disadvantages of Team Jingtao widened, while Team X's advantages also gradually increased. Meanwhile, Team X played steadily and systematically, taking down the opponent's defensive towers and engaging in team battles. In the end, Team Jingtao's crystal slowly bloomed on the big screen. The members of Team Jingtao looked helpless; they were originally full of confidence, but now they were full of worries.

In the lounge.

"Useless, all of you are useless!" A young man's voice rang out, his cold tone revealing a hint of contempt and a touch of anger.

"This, Chairman, we..." The captain of the Surging Waves team looked terrified.

"Alright, as the club's second team, you can't even beat a city-level team. You're a disgrace to the club!" the man scolded.

"Yes, yes, yes! The chairman is right..." The captain could only nod in agreement, not daring to say another word.

"Alright, if we lose this round again, we'll really bring shame to the club. But if we quit halfway through, that would be even more embarrassing," the man said coldly. "However, if you guys go on stage, you'll probably lose again. Only I can go on..."

"This, Chairman, how can someone of your status fight against them..." The captain looked terrified.

"It's nothing. Although it might be a bit beneath me, I still have to participate in the competition. I'll just practice by beating a few weaker opponents first..." The man said, stretching his neck and wrists, which cracked and popped.

Apart from their captain, who seemed somewhat surprised, the rest of the members of the Surging Waves team didn't react much. Was the man really as powerful as the legends said? How could their captain describe him in such an exaggerated way?

Moments later, in the second match between Team Shockwave and Team X, one of Team Shockwave's players was replaced by a man with long hair. The man's face was obscured by his hair, making it impossible to see his true appearance, but he gave off an extremely mysterious aura, and his strength was unfathomable...

"Director..." The captain of the Shocking Waves team hesitated before speaking.

"Just call me by my ID Midnight now..." the man said coldly. The captain jumped, "Okay, okay..."
