The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"I also want to fight again, to fight again..." Han Cheng said with a determined look. This summer tournament was his first match after regaining his superpowers, and also Gu Haifeng's first match after gaining superpowers.

"So, teamwork is important, but Xiao Chengzi, don't you often act like a lone hero?" Xu Xiaomeng muttered with dissatisfaction.

"Playing the hero? What a joke..." Han Cheng chuckled. It seemed that in everyone's memory, Han Cheng had gone out alone to carry out missions quite a few times.

"The Summer Tournament starts in a few days, with the qualifiers first," Han Cheng muttered solemnly. "Fortunately, we're about to have summer vacation. Basically, we go to school this time, then have our final exams, and then it's summer vacation. The Summer Tournament starts right around the same time, so we don't have to worry about it affecting our studies."

"Hmph, that sounds nice, but it's supposed to affect studies. I bet Xiao Chengzi would be happier if she didn't have to study," Xu Xiaomeng muttered.

"I've been found out..." Han Cheng deliberately smiled awkwardly. Actually, now that he had his superpowers, what was there to be afraid of? He was the top student in the grade. After all, who could compare to someone with superhuman abilities like himself?

Although the midterm exams have just ended, the fact remains that final exams are just around the corner.

"Meng, still studying?" Early in the morning, Han Cheng leisurely walked into the classroom and saw Xu Xiaomeng studying diligently. As for himself, he wasn't too worried about studying. He could memorize the important knowledge points with just a glance, and as for the rest, he could do more practice and memorize more without any problems.

"Of course, I'm telling you, don't bother me, otherwise..." Xu Xiaomeng muttered.

"Haha, Fatty, let me tell you, last night..." Sun Hou started bragging to Fatty, who was not far away, as soon as he came in, which made Xu Xiaomeng furious.

"What's wrong, you monkey? Making such a racket so early in the morning?" Han Cheng raised his voice considerably, then suddenly lowered it again. "Keep it down. Can't you see he's studying? He just told me not to disturb him, and you've just walked right into his trap..."

Upon hearing Han Cheng's words, Sun Wukong quickly covered his mouth, ran back to his seat, and whispered to the fat man. Only then did Xu Xiaomeng continue reading her book with satisfaction.

"Hey, you two, chatting here so early in the morning, and all you talk about is games. Look at other people, why don't you learn from them..." Han Cheng said, shifting his gaze to Xu Xiaomeng.

"That's true. It seems we need to work harder, since we think we did quite well on the last test," Sun Wukong muttered.

"Yeah," the fat guy muttered, and the two of them tacitly took out their books to read. Han Cheng nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't that he wanted them to study hard; rather, their chatting was making him very uncomfortable and preventing him from sleeping properly…

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xu Xiaomeng asked in a low voice, while continuing to study diligently.

"Ah, even though you weren't here last night, I still didn't sleep well. After sleeping on the sofa for so long, sleeping on this bed again just doesn't feel right..." Han Cheng muttered.

"Don't you usually sleep in bed at noon?"

"That was at noon, I'm not used to it at night at all..." Han Cheng was also extremely helpless, as insomnia had been a persistent problem for him.

Xu Xiaomeng smiled helplessly and continued studying.

Xu Xiaomeng was still a little worried about the final exam, but since she did well on the last exam, as long as she listened attentively in class, reviewed diligently after class, and did more practice tests and exercises, she should have no problem getting a good score this time.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomeng felt a surge of confidence. But then she turned to look at the sleeping Han Cheng. He had gotten first place last time; would he become arrogant this time? She knew that the class monitor of Class 3 had been quite upset last time. If Han Cheng, who had gotten first place, didn't do well in such an important final exam, she wondered what nasty things he might say. She also wondered how the Class 3 homeroom teacher and that bald-headed Li would take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, Xu Xiaomeng felt that Han Cheng could not be allowed to continue down this path of depravity and had to be brought back to the right track; otherwise, the honors they had worked so hard to achieve would be lost.

"Little Orange, wake up, don't sleep..." Xu Xiaomeng said, shaking Han Cheng incessantly with considerable force, making it impossible for Han Cheng to fall asleep peacefully.

"Stop..." Han Cheng said helplessly. "Sister, I'm sleepy. Can't I take a nap? This time, don't make up some excuse about the homeroom teacher suddenly showing up. I'm not afraid of her. Besides, it's break time. Is taking a nap illegal?"

"Actually, I just wanted you to stay awake and study for a while," Xu Xiaomeng said calmly.

"Study? With my IQ and memory, why would I need to study? Besides, even if I did study, I need to balance work and rest. Otherwise, if I suddenly died, my parents would be heartbroken..." Han Cheng said, while pretending to lie down again to continue sleeping.

“Even if you’re a good student, you can’t let yourself fall behind. If you don’t get first place this time, they’ll start gossiping again,” Xu Xiaomeng said.

"Why bother with those rumors? As Dante said, 'Go your own way and let others talk!'" Han Cheng said, and then tried to lie down again, but Xu Xiaomeng stopped him.

"But what if the homeroom teacher gets scolded?"

"I won't let her get scolded. At worst, she can just try to get first place again," Han Cheng said calmly.

"How can you get first place if you're always sleeping?" Xu Xiaomeng questioned.

"See, you don't believe in my abilities. Come on, let's have a vocabulary contest and see who has a bigger vocabulary!" Han Cheng said confidently.

"You scoundrel, stop comparing your advantages with my disadvantages." Xu Xiaomeng said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"But how do you compete in math? Are you suggesting we compete to see who can solve math problems the fastest?" Han Cheng asked.

"I might not be as good as you at memorizing formulas, but when it comes to solving math problems, I'm second to none," Xu Xiaomeng muttered. "But wouldn't that be too unfair of me?"

"Stop it, just tell me, where's the math problem? Take it out now, I can't wait to do it!" Han Cheng said with a determined look on his face.

"Tsk tsk, when did Xiao Chengzi become so fond of doing math problems?" Xu Xiaomeng said as she took out a math test paper she had treasured for many years, randomly flipped to a page, pointed to a few questions on it and said, "Do these questions, and when you're done, go to the homeroom teacher for evaluation. We'll compare the accuracy, problem-solving approach, and speed."

"Is it that simple? Then I must have done it quickly and well!" Han Cheng laughed, thinking that although he might not be good at logical thinking when it came to problem-solving, he had done countless math problems and wasn't afraid of not being able to do them.
