The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

The thought that this conjecture was probably true made Han Cheng furious. The Xing family was indeed full of bad apples; he'd have to give them a good beating later…

"Xiao Ye, what's this? This is the foreign aid you were talking about? Looks like your student, right? Let me tell you, I don't bully kids." Xing Lei gave him a hard time as soon as they met.

"That's right, he's the foreign aid I was talking about, and also my student. But don't underestimate him..." The homeroom teacher was obviously holding back, otherwise he probably would have given Xing Lei a good scolding, but there were quite a few people in the store now, so the homeroom teacher was probably concerned about his image and spoke calmly.

"Say what you will, let's begin!" Xing Lei said impatiently.

Han Cheng didn't say anything. This guy wasn't much older than him, yet he called himself a child. How ridiculous! Just wait and see how I torture you to death! And I'll torture you mercilessly!

Well, the two found a table and sat down.

"Say it, what do you want to solo? You can choose." Xing Lei said with a disdainful look.

"Hmph, hmph, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Han Cheng thought.

"Cao Cao!"

"Sure?"

"Sure!"

"Bang bang!" The two locked on.

"I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me!"

"Loyalty, a beautiful lie!"

Han Cheng played Cao Cao quite a lot when he first started playing Honor of Kings, but after the changes, which weakened him while buffing him, Han Cheng stopped playing him as the game progressed.

However, even though he hadn't played for a long time, Han Cheng was confident that he could easily defeat Xing Lei.

Well, I don't know the opponent's strength. Entering the game loading screen, Xing Lei's Cao Cao has the epic skin [Ghost Captain], very powerful, clearly a whale. Han Cheng, on the other hand, has the [Super Cop] skin, obtained with skin fragments. It's not very expensive, but it still has special effects, and the feel is decent.

The loading screen no longer shows the opponent's skill level and rank, but that's not bad. For example, if you're matched with a King-level player, you won't feel pressured because you can't see their rank.

At level one, Han Cheng bought a red agate that increases health. Cao Cao's passive skill now increases attack speed when he releases a skill, so he no longer relies on attack speed items. His previous passive skill has been changed to the passive skill of his second skill, but releasing a skill no longer reduces the cooldown of his second skill. Miyamoto Musashi has been changed similarly, with a new passive skill added and his previous passive skill changed to the passive skill of his first skill.

He leveled up his first skill at level 1, since the three-stage dash is quite strong, and the third stage can even knock up enemies. Looking at Xing Lei's first item, he bought an Iron Sword, and will probably build a Bloodthirster later. However, Han Cheng believes that his ultimate's healing at level 4 is terrifying, with a short cooldown, and he doesn't rely on items for sustain in lane, so he doesn't need to build much lifesteal. Unlike the original Cao Cao, whose ultimate's lifesteal wasn't a fixed value but increased a percentage of physical health, and couldn't heal under towers, the reworked version allows him to heal under towers.

"Even power will submit to me!" Xing Lei challenged him immediately upon meeting him, but Han Cheng used his first skill to dodge Xing Lei's first attack while simultaneously hitting a minion, since leveling up was the key.

"Hmm?" Xing Lei was somewhat surprised by Han Cheng's actions, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Ha!" Xing Lei dashed again. This time, Han Cheng didn't dodge. He casually attacked a low-health minion and then retaliated with a dash.

In the third segment, both of them were knocked away by the opponent. Han Cheng then killed a low-health minion the moment he landed, leveling up to level two, while Xing Lei was just a little short of leveling up.

"Whoosh!" Han Cheng threw out his second skill, but missed Xing Lei. Xing Lei also leveled up to level two and immediately used his second skill again, which Han Cheng couldn't dodge. But it didn't matter; Cao Cao's second skill didn't do much damage, and its control wasn't strong enough, only slowing down the enemy.

"Whoosh!" Golden special effects lit up on both of them, and they both leveled up to level four.

Upon seeing Han Cheng, Xing Lei unleashed his ultimate skill, then spammed all his abilities. Although it was mindless, the damage was still considerable.

But Han Cheng's approach is not so mindless.

Initiate with the second skill, then use the first skill, followed by a basic attack, another first skill, another basic attack, and finally the first skill to knock up the enemy. Xing Lei couldn't dodge it, and Han Cheng was also knocked up earlier, his health reduced to half. Cao Cao's combo can also be QA, starting with the second skill. Relying on the second skill's passive and its effects, he can quickly use the second skill again (the passive increases attack speed, allowing for faster refresh of the second skill; previous skill uses also reduce the second skill's cooldown, making this combo faster). This combo also deals sufficient damage. Cao Cao's damage isn't as bursty as Hua Mulan's, and his first skill isn't instant and can't pass through buildings or terrain, so a lightning-fast QA isn't necessary, as it doesn't increase damage. This combo is only for refreshing the second skill.

After activating his ultimate skill, Han Cheng's health gradually increased. Xing Lei had equipped a Bloodthirster, while Han Cheng had a Crimson Cloak. The Crimson Cloak is a very powerful item, providing health, armor, and a passive burn effect; it's perfectly acceptable for a tank to build it as their first item. There's a fundamental truth here: those who build attack damage will never beat those who build tankiness. Xing Lei retreated, and before Han Cheng could finish him off, he had already escaped.

Xing Lei's expression was somewhat complicated at this moment. He had never played Cao Cao, or at least not much, while Han Cheng in front of him had obviously played Cao Cao and was quite strong.

In a 1v1 situation, Han Cheng's special ability is not very useful, and it's not much of a help in ordinary matches either, since his current strength is already sufficient.

As the equipment was completed piece by piece, Xing Lei started building tank items. Han Cheng's planned build was Ninja Tabi, Blade of Despair, Thornmail, Frostbite, and Trinity Force. What's the point of the last item, Trinity Force? I've never seen Cao Cao build it before. This is a new item build idea for Han Cheng. Cao Cao has many skills and needs a certain amount of attack speed, so Trinity Force is very useful. This semi-tank build has decent survivability, especially considering Cao Cao's powerful lifesteal from his ultimate. As for Ninja Tabi, Han Cheng plans to sell it once he has enough gold, since it becomes less useful in the late game.

However, this is just Han Cheng's plan, and he has only made less than two of them so far.

However, the occurrence of first blood was so unexpected.

Since Han Cheng didn't build lifesteal items, his ability to sustain in lane without his ultimate was naturally inferior to Xing Lei's. At this moment, both of them had just used their ultimates and were low on health. Perhaps Xing Lei was tired of running around and wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, because neither of them showed any intention of leaving.

Don't be timid, just do it!

Both of them were low on health, but Xing Lei had a slight health advantage. Han Cheng hadn't fully recovered his health, and even though he built tank items, he was still at a health disadvantage.

Just when Xing Lei thought he was sure to win, a symbol for purchasing equipment suddenly appeared above Han Cheng's Cao Cao's head.

Is this a provocation? Xing Lei was getting annoyed.

However, Han Cheng's Crimson Lotus Cloak also played a role at this time, and the difference in their health points was not much.

At the last moment, "whoosh!" "whoosh!" the two were killed simultaneously.
