Chapter Summaries

Su Hang, a transmigrated former professional Honor of Kings player, reached 999 stars before the King's Rise System appeared and rated his skills as zero despite his elite record.

• The trio began their Bronze ranked match and spotted Yuan Ge on the opposing team; Gu Shi told Sang Jie and Ting An not to gank so he could take on Exalted Emperor himself.

Su Hang used Yuan Ge to outplay and solo-kill Gu Shi’s Lady Sun in the early game, then got Dian Wei to call him Boss Exalted Emperor and hand over the red buff. Watching the match, Gu Shi realized Su Hang had planned the kill through precise movement and minion management, and recognized him as a player who had dominated him three years earlier.
