The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"Welcome to Honor of Kings!" A chuunibyou (a girl's voice, why is it so deep?) rang out, and it began.

"Let's take the blue buff first, then group up and invade the red buff." At the start of the game, Han Cheng directed everyone to go to their own blue buff area and then to the enemy's red buff area. They first reduced the red buff to low health, leaving only Han Cheng's jungler Hua Mulan to absorb all the experience, while the rest of the team retreated to the side. Hua Mulan was the first to reach level two.

The opposing team was clearly unaware of this tactic and continued laning normally, completely ignoring the missing players.

Because the five players grouped up to attack the blue and red buffs, the fight was quick. Clearly, the enemy Han Xin chose to start with the blue buff. Han Cheng and a Bian Que went to the enemy's blue buff area. Han Xin managed to use Smite on the blue buff, but then saw a splash of green liquid on him.

Han Xin was startled and before he could react, a strong woman in pink clothes rushed in, wielding a knife. She was a full level ahead of him, and there was also Bian Que nearby. The next second, the woman unleashed a barrage of attacks, a lightning-fast Q-A combo, landing a critical hit that left Han Xin with almost no health. However, Han Xin had just used his skills and was already in low health, plus Hua Mulan had her red buff and Bian Que was attacking him from the side. Soon, Han Xin gave up his life.

"First Blood!" Mulan, the first blood!

"Han Xin? What happened to you?" The opposing team was clearly unhappy; they had given away first blood just a few minutes into the game.

"I... the other side is too cunning, I can't do anything about it!" Han Xin explained.

In one wave of invasion, two of the four buffs on the map fell into Hua Mulan's hands, and the remaining blue buff was taken by her teammate Bian Que. Although he's a support, as long as he has blue buff, he can heal infinitely, which is much better than heroes like Sun Wukong and Lanling King who don't use much mana in the early game. As for Li Yuanfang, he was the first to benefit from Bian Que taking the blue buff. The remaining red buff was also taken by Li Yuanfang. Hua Mulan killed Han Xin, and with the blue buff from before, she had two buffs in hand; she was invincible.

As expected, at level three, Hua Mulan ganked the bottom lane, killing Hou Yi and Zhong Kui, who were nearly worn down by Li Yuanfang and Bian Que, securing a double kill. She then easily took down a dragon, giving her a significant gold lead over the opponent.

As they approached level five, the first team fight broke out in the mid lane. To be honest, this team fight was triggered by Han Cheng's team trying to tower dive and kill a little fox, Daji. The three enemy players grouped up in the mid lane.

First, Li Yuanfang went up to lure the enemy, who were unaware, and then Zhong Kui from the bottom lane and Lu Bu from the top lane were summoned. Since their lane opponents had disappeared, everyone knew that it was best to group up at this time.

As for Li Yuanfang, who was trying to seduce people, nobody paid him any attention.

"What? You don't take me seriously?" The fat man got angry, and the short-legged Li Yuanfang used a skill on Daji among the people in the tower, and then did a basic attack.

An archer actually attacked someone right in front of the other four. No one could stand that. Lu Bu immediately swung his halberd, Zhong Kui released his hook, Daji followed up with a heart-shaped attack, and Hou Yi activated his first skill, "Wildfire Arrow Rain," shooting at Li Yuanfang. Han Xin sat on the sidelines watching the show.

"Damn, that's ruthless?" The fat guy originally planned to bully the other guy and then use his second skill to escape, but with Daji's hard crowd control, there was no reason why Zhong Kui's hook wouldn't hit, so he was doomed.

"Whoosh!" Li Yuanfang was hooked into the tower, and with his fierce attacks, he lost nearly half of his health.

However, at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared from under the enemy tower. One was a monkey, and the other was a masked assassin—Sun Wukong and Lanling King. The two combined their abilities to instantly kill Daji and bring Hou Yi to low health. Sun Wukong used his ultimate to sweep away five enemies, and Hua Mulan seized the opportunity to rush in, instantly killing Hou Yi with a combo. With a final ultimate, Lu Bu and Zhong Kui immediately lost a large chunk of health. As for Han Xin, having been captured several times before, he was traumatized and had already fled when he saw the situation was unfavorable.

"Time to take your medicine!" Bian Que's second skill, "Diagnosis of Good and Evil," combined with his ultimate skill, "Life Domination," pulled Li Yuanfang, who had been reduced to near death, back from the brink of death. Li Yuanfang used his second skill to run out from under the tower and started attacking Zhong Kui, the one who had almost killed him.

Zhong Kui was incredibly tanky, and explosions kept erupting from his body as he was being attacked. Lu Bu, on the other hand, was already low on health and was about to unleash his ultimate skill, "Demon God Descends," to escape, but was interrupted by Hua Mulan's second skill, which stunned him. Hua Mulan then secured two kills with two basic attacks, taking down the two players who had been intentionally let go by their teammates, thus achieving a triple kill.

In a team fight, except for Han Xin who escaped, the rest of the opposing team died, while Han Cheng's team suffered zero casualties, achieving a 4-for-0 exchange.

Subsequently, Han Cheng's team won with overwhelming force, having previously achieved a pentakill.

Let's go back a few minutes.

The two sides clashed again in the mid lane. The enemy retreated to their tower, and Han Cheng's team naturally wouldn't let them go. However, just as the enemy was low on health and had at least four stacks of Bian Que's mark on their bodies, just when Hua Mulan thought she could get a pentakill, "Boom!" Hua Mulan was filled with despair.

"Good medicine tastes bitter!" But Bian Que had unleashed his ultimate move, instantly killing four people.

"I... I used to play Bian Que and then enlarge the mark when it was almost full. There were so many people just now, I couldn't help myself..." Ye Bing said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright..." Han Cheng manipulated Hua Mulan to activate several dashes, preparing to catch up with the fleeing Han Xin, only to find that Han Xin's health was dropping rapidly. The next second...

"PentaKill!"

Assisting Bian Que, a pentakill!

"I didn't mean to!" Ye Bing said.

"Uh, it's okay, anyone can get the pentakill! I don't care!" In reality, Han Cheng was devastated. A pentakill! Gone! All because of Bian Que's carelessness! However, at least they won the first game, and the team that played against Han Cheng will be eliminated and will compete against the reserved team, number nine.

Soon, the other two teams also emerged, along with Han Cheng's team and the team that won the knockout stage, making a total of four teams to determine the final winner.

"Little Orange, that Mulan performance was really good!" the fat man praised.

"Not at all! Not at all!" Han Cheng said, but he was secretly very proud of himself. He hadn't even used his special ability and had easily defeated his opponent.

"Ah! How lonely it is to be invincible! How empty it is to be invincible!" Sun Wukong boasted from the side, "We're so powerful, it seems we don't even need to compete to know that we're the final winners!"

"Uh..." Everyone was stunned.

The knockout stage ended just before the second night's games. Team number nine, despite being a reserve team and having no advantage, still failed to live up to expectations and was eliminated! Only three teams with superior skills won the knockout stage and could compete against the other three teams.
