The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"How about we give it a try?" Xu Xiaomeng changed the subject. "We don't have anyone left in our class, and we certainly can't choose someone from other classes."

A few minutes later, in the homeroom teacher's office.

"What? Sun Zhu has diarrhea and can't participate in the campus competition?" The homeroom teacher feigned shock.

"Yes, teacher, what should we do?" Xu Xiaomeng feigned helplessness.

It's all a routine, a routine that you could never finish walking in your lifetime.

"Have you asked anyone to join?" the homeroom teacher continued.

"Hehe, teacher, we haven't found it yet, we're thinking..." the fat man said.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Teacher, could you join us? Just for one championship match, we really can't find a suitable candidate..." Xu Xiaomeng said.

"Me? How could I? This round is crucial for the championship! You've fought so many rounds, how can I participate in this decisive one? Besides, I'm really bad at the game..." Chen Xiaoye finally admitted that she was also terrible at the game...

"It's okay, teacher. As long as you play well, I'll guide you and we'll win!" The fat man patted his muscular chest. Some people always love to show off in front of beautiful women, even if the object of their affection is their homeroom teacher.

After much deliberation, the homeroom teacher finally decided to join. Of course, she was motivated by a desire to show off in front of the students, and also by a willingness to accept any setbacks. Most importantly, it was about honor, as it represented the honor of the class.

Game start.

"Please welcome the winning teams from Groups A and B of the King of Glory Campus Championship to the stage!" the female commentator announced. The other male commentator also smiled, but still looked rather lewd.

Han Cheng and the others then walked to their positions for the competition, led by Xu Xiaomeng. Although the homeroom teacher was a teacher, she still huddled at the back, looking somewhat shy.

Meanwhile, Xing Feng's team also entered the arena. Xing Feng arrogantly walked in front, followed closely by Xing Qing and Li Bin, with two other guys behind them.

Han Cheng and his classmates sat down and set up their equipment, which was really just a phone and a headset. Despite her usual "arrogant" demeanor, the homeroom teacher now acted like a shy, reserved young woman (or perhaps she truly was?), her face full of bashfulness and demureness.

"Teacher, don't worry, trust us. Those guys in Class 10 are easy prey for us!" the fat boy said confidently.

"Hmm," the homeroom teacher simply hummed in response.

The fat man wanted to say something more, but then he thought that since she was a teacher, he should just let it go if he got humiliated by teasing her again. He was afraid of getting beaten up, since his usual homeroom teacher wasn't this gentle.

Without further ado, let the competition begin.

Enter the Ban selection screen.

This time, Ye Bing will play the top lane, while Chen Xiaoye will play the support role, which doesn't require much skill. Of course, it still requires skill, but it would be more stable if Chen Xiaoye played a tank support.

Ye Bing banned Luna outright. Xing Qing from Class 10 seems to only know how to play Luna, and not very well at that, but Luna still needs to be banned. Class 10 banned Guan Yu instead. Yeah, no problem.

However, it's a pity that Guan Yu and Luna have been banned for many years and have been relegated to the sidelines.

In the final game, Han Cheng originally wanted to be more formal and serious, but then he thought, "Does showing off our love really need to be taken seriously?"

Hmph, watch your words.

The final lineup for Miracle Team was: top laner Hua Mulan with Execute, mid laner Lanling King with Execute, jungler Zhao Yun with Execute, ADC Liu Bei with Execute, and support Zhuang Zhou with Execute—all with Execute, even the jungler. The Zhuang Zhou support role compensates for Miracle Team's weakness in being both brutal and fragile, vulnerable to crowd control. Furthermore, Zhuang Zhou is not only tanky and difficult to kill, but his passive also periodically removes crowd control effects, making him even harder to kill, making him a perfect fit for Chen Xiaoye.

The lineup of Class 10 was more conventional: top lane Sun Wukong, mid lane Diao Chan, jungle Han Xin, ADC Sun Shangxiang, and support Sun Bin, all of whom were popular heroes in the current version. Their summoner spells were also quite standard: top lane Execute, mid lane Purify, jungle Smite, ADC Sprint, and support Heal.

Hmph, just wait and get tortured!

—That's what Han Cheng thought.

At the start, Miracle Team grouped up and cleared the jungle with all five members, then stole the enemy's buff. The opposing team continued laning normally, completely unaware that their jungle had been completely ransacked. The jungler, Han Xin, initially wanted to counter-jungle, but finding the jungle empty, he couldn't and had to return to base, only to find it also in ruins. Xing Feng, playing Sun Wukong, saw that the enemy lanes were empty and dared not push the tower, fearing five enemies might suddenly appear. The same happened on other lanes.

After clearing the jungle monsters, they started laning normally. At this point, Miracle Team's economy was not stronger than the opponent's. After all, the five players were grouped together, and the experience was split evenly, so there was naturally not much difference.

"Where do you think you're going, you monster!" Xing Feng saw that the opposing team had finally all come online, and seeing that there was only one Hua Mulan in lane, he went up and hit her with his stick.

"Hmph!" Ye Bing glanced indifferently at the monkey opposite her. Hua Mulan activated her first skill [Azure Slash] and used a dash to dodge the blow. The monkey was slammed into the ground.

Xing Feng was startled at first, and hurriedly activated his second skill to create distance. If the monkey didn't deal any damage in the early game, would he be a match for Hua Mulan?

But how could he possibly escape?

"Whoosh!" "Swift as the wind!" Mulan activated her second skill and dashed forward, simultaneously stunning the monkey with her movement. Xing Feng was even more surprised; how could this operation be so sharp? The students watching the scene were also astonished.

"Whoosh!" Hua Mulan followed up with a basic attack, then a dash, another basic attack, and the third hit of her first skill knocked back the monkey. The lightning-fast QA combo dealt explosive damage, and the monkey lost more than half of his health. This was only in the early game. Once she reached level four, Hua Mulan was fully capable of instantly killing the monkey, and the monkey wouldn't be able to fight back at all.

"Wow!" Many people below secretly applauded Mulan's sharp moves; her hand speed and execution were impressive.

Both Hua Mulan and Sun Wukong are heroes who enhance their basic attacks with skills, but Sun Wukong's passive is obviously much more overpowered. However, it's all functional, relying too heavily on the enhanced basic attacks and critical hit probability. Even with a full build, a Sun Wukong with the ability to instantly kill is still quite mindless; he can easily one-shot squishy targets with a few mindless hits. Hua Mulan, on the other hand, doesn't have particularly strong passive-enhanced basic attacks, but she can eliminate the basic attack animation, allowing her to unleash continuous basic attacks without relying on attack speed, triggering her passive faster. However, this also means a higher skill ceiling. A skilled Hua Mulan is all about flashy plays, unlike the mindless playability of Sun Wukong.

Ultimately, it's because the Monkey King is our mythology. One Monkey King is worth more than countless foreign superheroes. Foreign countries have many heroes, but we Chinese only have one Sun Wukong. This year, Liu Xiao Ling Tong didn't appear on the Spring Festival Gala, and how many people protested? This is tradition. There are countless film and television adaptations of Journey to the West—the exact number is unknown—yet whenever Sun Wukong is mentioned, people often think of Liu Xiao Ling Tong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and that myth.

It's not a big deal that the Monkey King is so powerful; at most, everyone loves playing him. Many people's top pick is the Monkey King, the legendary Sword Saint. Like Sun Wukong, they just love playing the Monkey King, after all, he's incredibly strong. However, the Monkey King is also a highly contested hero; countless people instantly pick him the moment they log in.

Even if another person goes to the top lane, Ye Bing can still handle it with ease. As for the mid lane, Xu Xiaomeng's Lanling King and Cao Cao are not good. With her second skill and first skill, the enemy Diao Chan loses half of her health directly, and she can't even hit the Lanling King who moves slickly after accelerating. Unless she can get close with her second skill and hit him a couple of times, she can't hit Lanling King at all.

As for the jungle, Han Cheng didn't care about his own jungle at all. He directly fed the enemy jungle, giving the red buff to Liu Bei and the blue buff to Lanling King, so as to prevent him from becoming the "Blue Zero King".

As for the bottom lane, Sun Shangxiang and Sun Bin, two ranged damage dealers, dared not confront Liu Bei's aggressive approach and the short-haired boy riding a Kun (a mythical fish) with their strong attacks. They could only farm minions and develop their strength from a distance.
