Zhong Kui does not come pre-built. Unlike a lot of mages, he needs to adapt to the circumstances to a very large degree. This is an example that's been requested, and I am by no means the foremost Zhong player. Most of the time, you'll want to pick up Sands of Time, but on occasion, Vampiric Shroud will serve you better.

The levelling order is a rough approximation at best. Max your 1, but give your 2 an extra point early on. Always put points in your ult when you can.
