The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"Actually, there's no such thing as absolute invincibility or uselessness. The key is the attributes of both sides. It's just a matter of who counters whom, and who counters whom. There's no guaranteed loss. Only by using your own strengths to counter the opponent's weaknesses can you maximize your advantage and achieve final victory," Han Cheng muttered. "Look at your Lu Bu. His first skill is a semi-circle in front of him, which is one of your weaknesses. My Li Bai is agile, which is one of my strengths. I can hide behind him and be fine. Lu Bu's second skill slows down enemies and grants a shield, but the shield only becomes high when multiple units are hit. So, luring you to a place without minions will effectively limit your shield. Finally, your ultimate is easily interrupted, which is another weakness. Li Bai's first skill, on the other hand, has a brief stun. This skill has a short cooldown in the late game, is easy to use, and is easy to hit. Using my strengths to interrupt your weaknesses is the key to my victory, rather than fighting head-on with a Lu Bu who can't and a Li Bai who can't. By playing to my strengths and avoiding my weaknesses, I won."

Beside her, Xu Xiaomeng gazed at Han Cheng with tender affection.

"What's wrong?" Han Cheng looked bewildered. Being stared at like this...it was so embarrassing...

"Look at what you're saying, all high and mighty, but it's nothing more than bullying me because I'm short-armed and short-legged. Besides, I'm so tanky in the late game, yet you still hit me so hard. How am I supposed to win?" Xu Xiaomeng said.

"Well, for dealing with those tough guys, armor penetration, attack speed, and critical strike are undoubtedly the best choices. Armor penetration is a must, otherwise you won't be able to do any damage. Attack speed and critical strike can ensure that you can deal more damage in a short time. It's best to get some lifesteal so that you can still stand after being worn down," Han Cheng said.

"How about we play another round? You play Lu Bu, and I'll play Lanling King?" Xu Xiaomeng suggested.

"No, you'll lose. Lanling Wang isn't as agile as Li Bai..." Han Cheng said.

"Haha, you're just afraid I'll beat you and make you lose face, aren't you?" Xu Xiaomeng laughed. "Using my strengths to attack your weaknesses, no matter how strong you are, you won't escape death!"

"Tsk tsk, alright, I hope you don't lose too badly," Han Cheng said, making a praying gesture as if he was genuinely worried that Xu Xiaomeng would suffer a crushing defeat...

Xu Xiaomeng, looking helpless, began the next round with Han Cheng.

However, in this game, Han Cheng, playing Lu Bu, once again completely dominated Xu Xiaomeng, only this time they switched heroes. Lu Bu's first skill consistently hit Lanling King precisely, while Lanling King, despite repeatedly hitting Lu Bu with his first and second skills in combo, barely felt any damage...

However, Lu Bu's first skill is truly painful, and his ultimate skill is always released at just the right time, usually used for chasing and killing. Even if Lanling King tries to escape by hiding, he has nowhere to hide.

"Bang!" Lanling King was knocked away, and Lu Bu landed with a Fangtian Huazhan followed by Zhanmie.

"In the end... he stepped into the abyss..." Prince Lanling died with resentment.

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore!" Several minutes later, Xu Xiaomeng could no longer endure Lu Bu's brutal killing and decisively surrendered.

“Meng, let me tell you, it’s best not to keep clicking the surrender button. As long as the crystal hasn’t exploded, there’s still hope. If you surrender, it means you’ll never have a chance to win again…” Han Cheng began to mutter.

"Stop, stop, stop! I know that principle..." Xu Xiaomeng said helplessly, "But why is it that when I'm an assassin, I can't beat you, a warrior, and when I'm a warrior, I still can't beat you, an assassin?"

"Uh... well, do you really want to know?" Han Cheng hesitated.

“O-ure.” Xu Xiaomeng said, resting her chin on her hand.

"You're the one who told me to say this," Han Cheng said, pointing his thumb downwards. Xu Xiaomeng looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean?"

"Trash..." Han Cheng explained helplessly.

Xu Xiaomeng:

Xu Xiaomeng: "Let's duo queue."

Han Cheng: "Okay."

So, the two started duo-queuing to climb the ranks, since they had plenty of time before class...

-

Several minutes later, Han Cheng and Xu Xiaomeng had already finished the game and were now sleeping soundly on the table, a happy pair of them.

"Ring~" The long-awaited school bell rang again. In his dream, Han Cheng heard this familiar yet unfamiliar bell, as well as the sound of his homeroom teacher walking in high heels.

"Whoosh!" Han Cheng suddenly jumped up from the desk, only to find that class had just started and the homeroom teacher had already entered the classroom.

"Wake up, Meng..." Han Cheng nudged Xu Xiaomeng with his elbow. Xu Xiaomeng then got up from the table, stretching as she did so.

"Xu Xiaomeng, did you not sleep well last night?" the homeroom teacher asked.

"Ah? No, no, I was studying too late last night and I was a little tired..." Xu Xiaomeng explained.

"Good child, let's begin the lesson!" the homeroom teacher said, thinking to herself that Xu Xiaomeng was still studying late into the night; her spirit was truly admirable...

A moment later, Xu Xiaomeng called out "Stand up," and everyone sat down with the teacher's permission before the class began.

"Ahem, students, today is the first day of school, and our Class 4 of Grade 11 has a new student..." the homeroom teacher said.

"A new classmate? Male or female? It would be great if it were a girl!" Sun Wukong and Fatty whispered to each other below the podium.

"Never mind, it's probably a man," the fat man said.

"You didn't see her, so how could you know? What if she's a beautiful woman..." Sun Wukong started daydreaming.

"Okay, how about we close our eyes, wait for T to come in, and then open them?" the fat man suggested.

"Alright!" Sun Wukong said, and immediately closed his eyes. The fat man followed suit, closing his eyes as well. Sun Wukong opened his eyes a crack to make sure the fat man's eyes were indeed closed before closing them himself...

"Tsk tsk, eagerly awaiting the new classmate." Xu Xiaomeng said, resting her chin on her hand.

"I don't know if he plays Honor of Kings, but I can carry him." Han Cheng said, resting his chin on his hand.

"Alright, come in quickly!" The homeroom teacher ran to the classroom door and said to someone. It seemed that this person had been waiting for a long time. Not only this new student, but also a pair of best buddies in the classroom were waiting for the arrival of this new student.

"Come on, introduce yourself to everyone!" A moment later, the homeroom teacher pulled in a little girl with a schoolbag on her back. Han Cheng was taken aback. Why did this person seem so familiar?

"Purple Robe?" Xu Xiaomeng was also somewhat surprised. "She didn't tell me she was transferring to our school?"

"Oh, by the way, Meng, you know her, right?" Han Cheng asked.

“Yeah, she was my classmate and best friend before,” Xu Xiaomeng said.

"However, she seems to have some connection with the homeroom teacher. Wasn't she always seen with him last time...?" Han Cheng muttered, a hint of fear appearing on his face. He hoped it wasn't a lesbian relationship...
