The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"That's something I have to do for you too..." Han Cheng couldn't help but glance at Xu Xiaomeng's face, which was flushed.

"So shy?" Han Cheng thought to himself, but remained calm. "What do you mean by what you're going to do to me? What does this club's watch have to do with it?" Han Cheng feigned surprise, leaving Xu Xiaomeng speechless.

"Should I tell you I like you?" Xu Xiaomeng thought to herself, "She's pretending on purpose, how awful..."

After a long, deathly silence, Xu Xiaomeng finally spoke.

"Little Orange, have you thought about something deeper about our relationship...?" Xu Xiaomeng asked.

"Huh? Something deeper about our relationship?" Han Cheng asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Uh... well..." Xu Xiaomeng shook her head vigorously, still too embarrassed to be too direct, "Do you think our relationship is limited to just being ordinary friends?"

"Of course not, we're good friends," Han Cheng blurted out.

"..." Xu Xiaomeng was somewhat helpless. Could it be that Han Cheng was deliberately avoiding the topic? Did he not have any plans for the time being? Would forcing things not be sweet? Maybe, should we put it aside for now?

"Little Orange, didn't Brother Ma just say he wanted to discuss the second team? Why don't we go in and take a look?" Han Cheng was a little taken aback by Xu Xiaomeng's sudden change of topic, but at least Xu Xiaomeng wouldn't say those things to him now, so Han Cheng happily agreed to Xu Xiaomeng's request.

Inside the club, a girl had appeared sometime earlier, dressed in a princess dress and a white coat; she was Sima Yi's younger sister, Sima Yu.

Fatty and Monkey King's eyes were filled with little red hearts. They thought, "Wow, she's so beautiful! Even more beautiful than last time, and she seems much gentler too?"

"Alright, alright, now that we have Coach Qin and me, there are ten people. If we form a second team, the captain will remain the same, Han will still be on the first team, and Gu will be on the second team. But the current personnel arrangement needs to be fixed, and it would be best to balance the strengths." Sima Yi sat in his chair, looking very serious.

"Brother Ma, how about we play a round first, and then divide into teams according to everyone's skill level?" Han Cheng said.

"Anyway, I want to be on Xiao Chengzi's team!" Xu Xiaomeng said with a willful expression.

“Uh… this, Dream, you can’t do this, we have to pursue fairness,” Han Cheng said.

"Little Orange, you don't love me anymore!" Xu Xiaomeng said.

"Huh? I don't love you anymore?" Han Cheng looked bewildered.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Han's suggestion is good. How about we play a round first?" Sima Yi said.

"But how do we start a game? Are teams randomly assigned?" Sun Wukong asked.

"We can start with our usual lineups, then have multiple matches and adjustments until the two teams are roughly evenly matched," Han Cheng said.

“Good idea,” Sima Yi said. “Then let’s proceed with the usual formation.”

Therefore, the teams were initially decided according to their usual lineups: Han Cheng, Xu Xiaomeng, Fatty Sun Hou, and Ye Bing formed one team; while the other team consisted of Sima Yi, Qin Li, Gu Haifeng, Sima Yu, and Song Ziyi.

At first glance, the second team seems to be more balanced, since the first team is somewhat unbalanced, especially Fatty and Sun Wukong, who are gods when they develop, but also a liability when they don't.

So, just like in regular training, everyone found their own positions. Han Cheng's team was easy to deal with, as they often played together and their positions were relatively fixed. Gu Haifeng's team, however, was a temporary group, so they had to determine the lineup first.

Sima Yi insisted on playing mid lane, and no one else took it from him, so he played mid lane. Song Ziyi wanted to play jungle, and no one else took it from her, so she played jungle. Then Qin Li played marksman, Gu Haifeng played top lane, and Sima Yu sensibly played support.

"My daughter is so sensible. You guys took all the good positions, but she didn't fight with you and played support instead." Sima Yi said with a proud look.

“But Brother Ma, you seem to be the first one to grab a spot…” Gu Haifeng said.

"Uh... really?" Sima Yi said, feigning ignorance, only to feel a sharp sting of embarrassment.

In the first game, no one paid much attention to the team composition. After all, the goal of this game was not team composition, but individual skill and team coordination. Of course, everyone picked the hero they were best at.

"Roaming freely across mountains and rivers, roaming the nine provinces and five sacred mountains!" Han Cheng instantly chose Han Xin. Since receiving this skin, Han Cheng found it wasn't as bad as he had imagined and started using it frequently. Compared to the other two skins, it has a slightly better feel, especially the latter. However, as an epic skin worth 118 yuan, the feel isn't too bad. Although it feels a bit clunky, and the sweeping range of the second skill seems to have decreased, it doesn't significantly affect the actual usability. After all, this skin is arguably the most visually appealing.

"The scabbard... is missing!" Xu Xiaomeng instantly chose Lanling King.

"Who cares about all that? Heaven's arrangement is the most important!" Sun Wukong instantly chose the monkey.

"Want to have a go? I'll satisfy you!" The fat man instantly chose Sun Shangxiang.

When it was Ye Bing's turn, things became a bit special. No one knew which hero Ye Bing was best at. He was incredibly skilled at playing Hua Mulan, but Ye Bing was playing support right now. Moreover, this game was mainly for testing purposes, so winning or losing wasn't important. Therefore, Ye Bing didn't switch positions with Sun Wukong.

"One eye is a man's romance!" In the end, Ye Bing chose Xiahou Dun to play a roaming role. Xiahou Dun is a very tanky hero with high damage and is very agile, so he is worth using.

And here...

"Zhao Zilong pays his respects!" Gu Haifeng instantly selected Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is a very strong hero. Although he has been nerfed, he is still a legendary figure. After all, he once entered and exited seven times. Moreover, he can jungle or play top lane. Gu Haifeng plays Zhao Yun exceptionally well.

"Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!" Sima Yi instantly selected Ying Zheng, the man with supreme power. Although he lacked hard crowd control as a mage, his explosive damage made him no less than other mage heroes, but rather superior to them, making him a popular choice in professional matches.

"Fate is the greatest arrangement by God!" Song Ziyi instantly chose Luna.

"The world is so big, I want to see it..." Like Ye Bing, no one knows Qin Li's best hero, only that he uses Marco Polo more often.

"The geniuses of the demonic path belong to the same school: the idol school!" Sima Yu chose the new hero, Da Qiao. This new hero is a god-tier support, and if played well, her fourth skill can completely dominate the battlefield.
