The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

Snatch the dragon! If you catch it, you've struck gold!

Miracle Team used the same tactic, pushing mid again and leaving a Han Xin outside the Baron pit to steal the dragon.

The second tower of the Honor of Kings team has been destroyed, and the high ground tower is under threat!

"Damn it!" The King of Glory team sped up their attack on the dragon, but worried that someone might steal it, since Han Xin wasn't on the map. So they became even more cautious. Li Bai kept his Smite and ultimate ready, waiting to use Smite to cripple the dragon before Han Xin entered his attack range, and then finish it off with his ultimate. Perfect!

However, Han Cheng kept a close eye on the situation inside the Baron pit. This Li Bai hadn't used Smite or his ultimate, all to prevent Han Cheng from stealing the Baron. Hmph, don't forget my Vision of Deception!

"Meng, come here, let's steal the dragon!" Han Cheng said. At this time, the dragon's health was low, making it a good time to steal it. Miracle Team had already retreated, otherwise, after the King of Glory team finished off the dragon, they would probably be surrounded and wiped out. Therefore, Xu Xiaomeng arrived very quickly.

Li Bai waited in vain for Han Xin, unaware that Han Xin had already gone to steal the tower. Instead, the mage Angela was the one lurking there. This was something they never expected. Even when they saw Angela disappear, they would never have imagined that she was right there.

"Huh? What? Han Xin is pushing the tower?" Li Bai saw that Han Xin had actually given up on the dragon, and had used his Smite and ultimate skill in advance, leaving the dragon with low health.

It's now!

"Meng, unleash your ultimate!" Almost the instant Han Cheng uttered those words, Xu Xiaomeng's finger had already pressed Angela's ultimate skill, [Blazing Holy Light]. The spellbook released lasers, and the dragon quickly fell.

The notification that Angela has killed the dragon appears on the screen. At this moment, the high ground tower of the King of Glory team is about to fall. Xiahou Dun has come to defend the tower. He releases his ultimate skill [Unruly Blade]. If he hooks the low-health Han Xin, Han Xin will definitely die!

"Ah!" Han Xin used his second skill to retreat, and in less than a second, he almost lost his life. Even Han Cheng was terrified. He had anticipated that Xiahou Dun would use his ultimate skill first, so he prepared in advance. Otherwise, he would have already become a victim of the blade (Xiahou Dun's weapon is a chain blade).

"Yay!" This time, Xu Xiaomeng and Han Cheng high-fived to celebrate. It was all thanks to Han Cheng's reminder to have Xu Xiaomeng's Angela steal the dragon. It worked so well, and they even managed to steal it by sheer luck (this was Xu Xiaomeng's idea; of course, she didn't know that Han Cheng could see the dragon's health).

This time, Team Miracle secured the Dragon and pushed down several towers. Leading the Lord's Vanguard, they forced a team fight, wiping out the enemy team in one fell swoop and winning the victory. In particular, Zhong Wuyan charged into the enemy ranks, petrifying the enemy's carry (damage dealer), rendering the already low-damage King of Glory team powerless.

"Yay!" Fatty Sun Hou and Xu Xiaomeng exclaimed excitedly, high-fiving each other before wanting to high-fiving Han Cheng and Ye Bing as well. Ye Bing reluctantly gave them a high-fiving and said, "Best of three, there are still two rounds left. Don't be too happy!" The three of them changed their expressions again: Right! There are still two rounds left!

However, after a brief moment of disappointment, the group resumed their activities, completely disregarding the disdain shown by the opposing King of Glory team.

It's just one game won, is it really that big of a deal?

Moreover, they have the advantage in terms of lineup!

—That's probably what they were thinking.

The second round begins.

In this game, it was the Honor of Kings team's turn to ban and pick heroes first.

They first banned Zhong Wuyan. Well, Zhong Wuyan was quite terrifying in the last game, and isn't she always banned in matches? Banning Zhong Wuyan isn't shameful.

Seeing this, Miracle Team banned Guan Yu—just a random ban. While the King of Glory teams aren't particularly strong overall, given that Pizza Hut probably can't afford top-tier professional players, their teamwork is undeniable; they could easily defeat any challenger in a regular tournament. Therefore, banning one powerful hero was sufficient.

"In this game, we're playing a 4-1 split push. We need to break their coordination. Their five players work together seamlessly, but a 4-1 split push can effectively limit their coordination," Han Cheng said.

"A 4-1 split push, right?" Sun Wukong said. "I know!" He then picked Diao Chan on the opposing team and then picked Han Xin and Liu Bang. He picked Liu Bang because he's the core hero for the 4-1 split push, and Han Xin because he has multiple dashes and can quickly support, allowing him to quickly go to Liu Bang's solo lane to defend the tower and break the 4-1 split push, so he had to be picked first.

Finally, Miracle Team picked up Sun Bin again. This hero is very useful; he can accelerate. Although he's not as good as Han Xin, he still poses a threat to the 4-1 split push lineup. Moreover, Night Ice's Sun Bin play is exceptionally good.

The final lineup for Miracle Team is set as follows: Sun Bin for top lane with Heal; why Sun Bin for top lane? You'll find out soon. Mid laner Mi Yue with Execute; jungler Han Xin with Smite; ADC Luban with Flash; and support Liu Bang with Interference.

The opposing team's lineup consists of top laner Tachibana Ukyo with Execute, mid laner Diao Chan with Purify, jungler Zhao Yun with Smite, and bottom laners Hou Yi and Irene, both healers. Hmm, that's terrifying.

Han Cheng chose Liu Bang as support and Sun Bin as top laner because he was worried the opposing team would pick a strong jungler like Tachibana Ukyo to jungle Liu Bang in the early game, preventing a scaling hero like Liu Bang from developing. He opted for the longer-ranged Sun Bin to at least allow Liu Bang to farm. However, this is secondary. It's well known that Liu Bang can also support, and his support abilities are quite strong. The bottom lane duo of Hou Yi and Irene are incredibly annoying in the early game, and Liu Bang's second skill, taunt, has strong crowd control, almost as powerful as Sun Bin's, providing opportunities to gank this duo (though it's unclear if they know each other, their similar skills suggest they do). But actually, this seems secondary! Ensuring Liu Bang isn't suppressed seems more important.

The game started with the same strategy, but Tachibana Ukyo discovered that he wasn't facing the Two-Faced Monarch, but rather Time Reversal? Are you kidding me? Sun Bin top lane? Fine, I'll crush you!

However, Tachibana Ukyo's second skill consistently failed to stun Sun Bin, and he couldn't even land a hit. Even when using his first skill to close the distance before unleashing the second skill unexpectedly, Sun Bin easily dodged it. Conversely, Sun Bin's first skill consistently stunned Tachibana Ukyo, and even after his skills were depleted, Sun Bin's basic attacks and constant stone-throwing were quite painful. Tachibana Ukyo eventually couldn't take it anymore and requested a lane swap, but even after the swap, he was still completely dominated.

Speaking of the bottom lane, Hou Yi and Irene were firing their first skill, "whoosh whoosh whoosh," which also slowed down the enemy. Fortunately, Lu Ban had a long range and managed to play relatively steadily. At this moment, Han Xin also arrived.

The first skill knocks up two enemies. After landing, take a step towards their retreating direction before using the ultimate skill. This is a technique. If Han Xin uses the ultimate skill immediately after landing, it might be dodged by heroes with mobility skills. Although these two don't have mobility skills, they are used to it. So after landing, judge the enemy's movement and use the ultimate skill where they are going, instead of using it in place. This will increase the hit rate.

Hou Yi and Ai Lin were both knocked away and hadn't woken up yet when Liu Bang taunted them again. Meanwhile, Lu Ban's ultimate skill kept floating on the two of them and throwing grenades (it's unclear if they were grenades). Plus, Lu Ban is a guy who deals exceptionally high damage when standing still and fighting. With Han Xin's help, even though the two of them were healing, Lu Ban still managed to get a double kill.

The opposing team was furious. Just Sun Bin alone was infuriating enough, and their bottom lane wasn't doing well either!

Everyone leveled up to level four, and the 4-1 split push began!
