The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

After playing a very long game against the AI, Han Cheng realized that there was still a lot of time left in the class, so he decided to play two 1v1 games to kill time and waste the class.

"Hmm, let's play a game with Han Xin." Han Cheng muttered to himself. Recently, the S-rank characters have been greatly strengthened, and even Lu Ban has become a rising star. It's not like he can't be used in high-level games.

However, assassins are the natural nemesis of assassins, even heroes like Han Xin who are not strong in one-on-one combat.

In the first game, Han Cheng was matched with a Lu Ban No. 7... let's call him Ban Lu for now, because Han Cheng felt it would be rather comical, and Ban Lu himself is a rather comical hero, well, quite chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur)...

Han Cheng, who was initially confident of winning the game, discovered that Ban Lu was incredibly strong in the early laning phase. Even when his Han Xin tried to fight him at close range, he couldn't win.

Wiping away his cold sweat, Han Cheng decided to confront him head-on only after reaching level four or higher.

However, at this point, Han Cheng was already being pressured by the opposing team.

Han Cheng looked helpless. The opposing Banlu was indeed very skilled. He kept moving around while fighting, and he didn't waste any of his sweeps, ensuring that he dealt the highest damage and gained the most economic benefits.

Banlu's first item was the Blade of Despair, which increases attack speed and lifesteal. Han Cheng guessed that this Banlu was carrying lifesteal runes, and with only one Vampiric Scythe, the lifesteal was already considerable. In that case, Banlu, who could stay in lane, would have no chance to harass the enemy to return to base and then find an opportunity to farm...

Han Cheng finally managed to reach level four, but Ban Lu on the other side was almost level six...

Han Xin dashed forward, intending to knock Ban Lu into the air, but Ban Lu reacted quickly and dodged the knock-up. At the same time, Ban Lu used his first skill to strike Han Xin, stunning him.

The current Lu Ban has a somewhat unstable control system, but it's already very powerful.

After using his first skill, Ban Lu started sweeping attacks while simultaneously unleashing his ultimate for firepower support. Han Xin hastily activated his ultimate, but Ban Lu used his second skill before Han Xin's ultimate ended. After being knocked up by Han Xin and landing, Ban Lu unleashed another sweeping attack, causing Han Xin's health to plummet. When did Ban Lu become like this, so powerful?

Hit hard by Banlu's ultimate move, Han Cheng realized he was no match for Banlu and had to conserve his strength to go home and rest before fighting again.

However, Han Cheng discovered that as soon as he went there, his own defensive tower was instantly killed by Banlu, losing half of its health – terrifying damage…

Han Cheng looked helpless. Could it be that he, an assassin, was really going to lose to Ban Lu, a short-legged assassin with no mobility skills?

However, that seems to be the case.

Banlu has strong lane sustain and high damage, forcing Han Xin to repeatedly return to base. Banlu then takes the opportunity to farm and push towers. Han Xin returned to base three times, and the first tower was gone. In a 1v1 situation, it seemed like there was only one defensive tower...

Yesterday, Sun Wukong and the others said that Ban Lu is really good lately, and even monkeys might not be able to beat him. But Han Cheng doesn't believe it. Although Ban Lu has an advantage against those with short legs, can he really get close and fight against assassins like Li Bai and Sun Wukong who have a lot of mobility?

However, Han Cheng has truly broadened his horizons today...

Han Cheng's Han Xin got close and fought the idiot, but the idiot wasn't afraid at all. He fired a shot with his cannon and then followed up with a strengthened sweeping attack. Although Han Cheng dodged some of the attacks, he still took a lot of damage.

The outcome of a battle between Ban Lu, who deals massive damage, and Han Xin, who deals negligible damage, is predictable.

"I haven't lost yet... Ah..." Han Xin collapsed in agony. Han Cheng hated hearing this line; why was Ban Lu so incredibly powerful now...?

Han Cheng waited helplessly for his respawn, but the enemy Ban Lu clearly knew how to play, and wiped him out in one fell swoop...

In the second game, Han Cheng was afraid of encountering the terrifying Ban Lu again. You see, as a King-level player, he used to look down on Ban Lu, but who knew he would be so overpowered after the changes...

"The journey never ends!" Han Cheng instantly selected Li Bai. Han Cheng felt that Li Bai should be the nemesis of squishy heroes without mobility skills. With two dashes and the high damage of his ultimate, he could wear down the opponent after a few waves of attacks.

"Damn... it's Banlu again..." Han Cheng glanced at the Banlu with the skin on, feeling helpless. What's going on lately? Every one-on-one fight has turned into a Banlu fight...

Han Cheng didn't confront Ban Lu head-on at level one, opting to level up to level two first. Ban Lu was quite skilled, but due to hero advantage, Han Cheng, who had just reached level four, managed to kill Ban Lu by taking advantage of a small mistake. However, Han Cheng himself nearly lost his life, but fortunately, he managed to dodge a fatal shot from the turret with his second skill, thus escaping death.

In the early game, Han Cheng's Li Bai basically dominated the opponent, but not in a bad way. The economic gap between him and the opponent's Ban Lu was not large. Moreover, Ban Lu cleared the lane quickly and had high damage. By playing defensively under the tower for a while, he could catch up in terms of economy.

The enemy Banlu's first item was the Blade of Despair, but Han Cheng, who had a gold lead, only managed to take away a quarter of Banlu's health with his ultimate, or even less... Don't think it was just a slight hit from Li Bai's ultimate; the attack-focused Banlu actually took the full brunt of Li Bai's ultimate, and only lost a small amount of health, less than half. Previously, Banlu would lose a lot of health from a single hit from Li Bai's ultimate, but this time the damage seemed similar to what he would have taken from a mere graze by Li Bai's ultimate before...

"This..." Han Cheng was helpless. He could accept that he was not skilled enough, but Ban Lu only had one item, Ruin Monarch, and he only lost so little health after taking a big hit from Li Bai, who had one item, Bloodthirster and one Frozen Heart. It was completely a hardware problem!

"Could he be cheating?" Han Cheng muttered to himself, but then he felt it wasn't that exaggerated. Perhaps it was just that Banlu's base armor was increased and his own attack power was relatively low.

However, what happened next was something Han Cheng couldn't accept...

"Ah!" Li Bai used his dash to close the distance to Ban Lu. By this time, it was already late game, and Ban Lu's economy was about to surpass his own, but he was still a few hundred gold behind. However, even with a few hundred gold difference, Han Cheng felt that this game was in jeopardy...
