The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

With her high economy and perfect skills, Luna dealt tons of damage to the opponent. In just a few seconds, the sound of a pentakill was heard. On the screen, the four words "Pentakill" and Luna's portrait were displayed. The sound of "Pet-Kll" still seemed to be ringing in the air.

The audience below the stage, as well as the contestants on stage, were all stunned. Was this even human? To be able to play to this level, they must be gods!

Having secured a pentakill and taken down the Lord, the long-haired man remained calm and composed, while the X team members were completely devastated. How were they supposed to fight this? A Luna, and such a powerful one at that, with an economic lead of thousands over everyone else, and possessing exceptionally terrifying awareness and hand speed. Since its inception, the X team had never encountered such a strong opponent. Perhaps this player, Jingtao: Midnight, was a player hiding his identity.

In this match, Team X lost without any suspense. They were completely outmatched by Luna, getting utterly crushed and unable to kill her at all. Instead, they were instantly killed every time.

In the third game, Midnight didn't play, but the X team members were already mentally exhausted and were defeated by the slightly weaker Jingtao team.

On stage, it was the e-sports association president's turn to present the trophy to the champion team. Unexpectedly, the president turned out to be the same long-haired man from before. Han Cheng was taken aback. Who exactly was this guy? So good at the game, and the president of the association? Tsk tsk, impressive, very powerful. Han Cheng thought to himself, if hand speed were divided into ten levels, he'd probably be around level six or seven, Ye Bing and Qin Li would be around level seven or eight, and this long-haired man was probably at least level eight, maybe even level nine or more!

The thought sent a chill down Han Cheng's spine; the gap was quite large...

On stage, the long-haired man had changed into a suit. He was dressed in a suit and tie, exuding an extraordinary aura. Every move he made revealed a domineering presence. Han Cheng could tell at a glance that he was a successful person, and definitely not just the president of the e-sports association.

"Now, please welcome our association president to present the awards to the winning team!" the host announced. The members of Team X were completely bewildered. This long-haired man had just been a substitute for Team Jingtao, how did he suddenly become the association president? It was truly unbelievable, but they dared not question the fairness of the competition. After all, everyone could see that there was nothing unfair about the competition. Perhaps Team Jingtao was actually the e-sports association's own team.

However, isn't this family army a bit too weak?

—That's what the members of Team X thought.

Chairman Cui walked up to the members of the Jingtao Team and presented them with awards, but he didn't show a smile. He looked extremely cold, but the members of the Jingtao Team were all flattered. They knew that the person in front of them was no ordinary person.

"I never imagined this guy would be the president of the e-sports association. Tsk tsk, impressive, very powerful," Xu Xiaomeng muttered.

"Hmm, I wonder what this person's identity is, that he would actually represent the Jingtao team. Although it was only one game, his strength was already heaven-defying." Han Cheng muttered to himself.

"Defying the heavens? Little Orange, you can't beat him?" Xu Xiaomeng asked.

"Sister, isn't that a pointless question? I don't have that kind of hand speed..." Han Cheng said helplessly. In fact, Han Cheng had already accepted the fact that he was no match for the chairman. After all, there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. You can be arrogant because of your talent, but one day you will also be regarded as worthless.

"Okay, then you must surpass him!" Xu Xiaomeng said with an innocent smile, but Han Cheng felt that he couldn't do it.

After the match, X investigated the ID used by the long-haired man in the second game, only to find that it seemed to be just a smurf account with little to no further investigation. Although the long-haired man was the president of the association, very few people knew about him, which puzzled Team X.

After the game, Han Cheng and Xu Xiaomeng left the stadium, but Han Cheng didn't know where to go.

"Why don't we each go home?" Han Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"You invited me out to watch the game, and then kicked me out after the game?" Xu Xiaomeng crossed her arms.

"Then...where do we go?" Han Cheng asked, looking puzzled.

"We don't need to go anywhere, just walk around with me," Xu Xiaomeng said with a smile.

So Han Cheng accompanied Xu Xiaomeng on their aimless walk, still thinking about the match they had just played. He didn't have a deep impression of the first and third games, but he was particularly impressed by the second game, the one where Id Midnight played. That game was like a god-level Luna dominating a low-level match. Han Cheng had watched so many KPL professional league games, but he had never seen anyone with the same level of skill as that person. It was terrifying. He never expected that Pingshan City would have such a master.

Han Cheng had another meal with Xu Xiaomeng, during which he received a call from Yi Bing.

"Hey, I saw them. And that girl, I've met her before. It was her who made me realize I'm a superhuman. Although I didn't really get to know her before, we need to get to know each other properly now." Yi Bing's voice came from the phone.

"Oh, I see. In that case, you two are old acquaintances," Han Cheng said.

"Oh, right, we've decided that we, the people with superpowers, should have dinner together tonight. What do you think?" Yi Bing asked.

"Okay, call me when the time comes..." Han Cheng said. He glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window and was glad that it was only noon and he was having lunch with Xu Xiaomeng. Dinner was still a long way off.

-

That evening, Xu Xiaomeng insisted on taking Han Cheng to her house for dinner. Han Cheng had to use all his strength to refuse, thinking that if he went to Xu Xiaomeng's house, her parents would be there too, and he would be incredibly embarrassed...

Following Yi Bing's directions over the phone, Han Cheng found the place to eat: Yi Bing's house...

"Why do I have to come to your house for dinner? You didn't set up an ambush here, did you?" Han Cheng said half-jokingly.

"Tsk tsk, kid, you have a vivid imagination," Yi Bing said.

"Alright, alright, the food will be ready soon, everyone get ready to eat..." Sima Yu came out of the kitchen, wearing a large apron.

“Okay…” Han Cheng glanced at Leng Rancheng, who was sitting upright beside him, and thought to himself, why are aloof characters so popular now? Ye Bing, Qin Li, Leng Rancheng, and that long-haired man, as well as Xing Qi, whom he had previously called the “aloof woman,” made Han Cheng think of a line from Li Bai’s skin: “Is it a fox or a calamity? Lately, aloof protagonists like me are all the rage…”
