Switching equipment!
He An was momentarily dumbfounded. In terms of the rules, this wasn't a problem. Even in the Pro League, as long as a character had equipment in their inventory, they could switch equipment at any time. Using equipment in this way seemed to be very targeted, but the problem was that if there was too much equipment in the inventory, the character's weight would increase and the character's jumping abilities would be weakened.
In the game, this bit of weakening wouldn't be a big deal. But in a professional match, this kind of difference could very well become a fatal difference. As a result, it was fine to switch equipment, but you had to control it. You couldn't let the weight of carrying too much equipment drag you down. Usually, the first choice was to use accessories because accessories were very light. Carrying a few more wouldn't affect your character too much.
But what about Lord Grim?
He An swept his eyes over him. From head to toe, he was completely different from the Lord Grim he remembered. Hat, shoulder pads, shirt, pants, belt, shoes. Which one of them was pleasing to the eye? He had switched them all out!
This kind of completely switching equipment wasn't something that could be seen in the current Glory circle. Only in the early days, when players were still figuring out new ways to play Glory, could such bold and unrestrained tactics be used.
This had to be Ye Qiu!
He An stared dumbstruck at Lord Grim, who had completely switched equipment. He felt like only a God like Ye Qiu, who had lived since ancient times, could think of such a playstyle. It was very outdated!
But did this outdated playstyle show any unusualness?
No, not at all...
Lord Grim had already finished off two of Team Everlasting's characters and held the initiative in his fight against He An's Go Forth. And all this while, he had been under the influence of the weight he was carrying. Since the weight didn't have any fatal effect on him, there was nothing wrong with this kind of fighting style.
What was Lord Grim's current equipment?
He An's mouse was also moving at lightning speed.
Hat... there was no need to click on it. This tall, pointed sky blue design was probably a Great Wizard Hat, right?
As for the upper body … there was no need to click on it. The Cloudflow Battle Robe was usually a Qi Master's equipment.
Trousers, belts, shoulder pads, shoes, cloaks, necklaces, badges, and so on.
He An could recognize some of them at a glance, but he still needed to move the mouse over some of them to confirm and observe.
But in fact, after seeing the few pieces of equipment that he could recognize, He Anxin already had a conclusion. He didn't need to look at the rest of the equipment to know what kind of equipment they were.
Lord Grim's current equipment regenerated mana and extended his character's endurance. Especially the few pieces that He An recognized at a glance. They were all branded equipment in the online gaming circle.
After all, endurance was more important in long lasting battles like PVE. In PVP, it was very rare for players to run out of mana. No matter what class, a single tube of mana was more than enough to kill a player.
And now, these equipment that would not be used in PvP battles were all gathered in Lord Grim's hands. It was precisely because his character was currently facing the awkward situation of not having enough mana.
This guy was already prepared!
He An realized. Because the participating characters had to be prepared before they were submitted to the participant list. These equipment couldn't have been prepared at the last minute when Lord Grim realized that he needed to fight a 1v3. Since the start of the individual competition, Lord Grim had already been carrying these equipment. Moreover, these equipment would still be in his inventory until the team competition.
But now, would there still be a team competition?
Lord Grim's mana was increasing at a visible rate. At this moment, he wasn't worried at all. He An's Go Forth didn't go up to attack. He just leisurely wandered there.
I can't waste time like this!
He An came to a realization.
Even if he had a full set of mana regenerating equipment, as long as it was a normal battle, the rate of mana consumption would be faster than the regenerating equipment. Right now, he had to increase the pressure on Lord Grim so that his mana would not be replenished at all times. If he couldn't guarantee this advantage, how could he win against this opponent?
Thinking to this point, He An didn't dare to be careless. Go Forth also rushed up to attack, using Wave Sword and Wave Formation. This time, he wasn't purposely showing off how much mana he had, but he really wanted to quickly restrict Lord Grim's situation.
Right now, Lord Grim wasn't as strong as before! He An told himself this. Because right now, Lord Grim's equipment only focused on mana regeneration. There were even Purple equipment. Compared to the Silver and Orange equipment from before, the stats definitely dropped by more than a level.
But very quickly, He An sadly discovered that even so, he still couldn't do anything to Lord Grim.
Lord Grim's stats did drop by more than a level, but the skill level of Lord Grim's player was many levels higher than He An's.
He An thought that Lord Grim would use this equipment to recover some mana and then switch back to his original powerful equipment to attack. Who knew that Lord Grim would take the initiative to attack him while wearing this set of mana regeneration equipment.
However, this time, the attack was not as fierce as before. It looked like a casual parry, and He An was not beaten into a sorry state. The two of them seemed to be evenly matched in their attacks.
But during this exchange, He An watched as his opponent's mana increased instead of decreased. His heart bled. If this continued, it would be over! If he lost, the future of Team Everlasting and all of Team Everlasting's players would become hazy.
I can't lose!
He An burned his Dou An, exploding with hand speed. Looking for an opportunity, he took the damage and used Three Stacking Waves to send three Wave Slashes towards Lord Grim.
Lord Grim wasn't careless. He raised his gun and fired. Amidst the gunshots, his character quickly retreated. He was actually using Aerial Fire to escape.
He An's imposing wave of attacks had only just begun, but it ended with his opponent escaping. Lord Grim used Aerial Fire, Shadow Clone Technique, and Rotor Wing. His proficiency at escaping wasn't any lower than his combos.
He An really wanted to cry but had no tears. That burning will to fight dissipated in an instant. He didn't know what to do with his opponent anymore. Even though he clearly knew that he had to stick to Lord Grim, the fact that Lord Grim was able to escape so easily made him realize that sticking to Lord Grim was as difficult as getting stuck to Lord Grim.
How hard was it to get stuck to Lord Grim? In the last round, He An had already experienced it, and today, the Warlock and Qi Master contestants would be able to clearly explain it to everyone.
He An's head was battered and battered. The audience was in an uproar.
Lord Grim changed equipment right in front of their eyes. They watched him change equipment one by one. Just the speed at which he changed equipment was enough to show how good his mechanics were. As for the equipment, after the audience saw a few of them, they immediately understood Lord Grim's intentions.
He actually started off with equipment that recovered mana. This guy … could he be any more shameless?
As for Lord Grim's side, no one would think that Ye Xiu was being far-sighted. Shameless. This was 100% shameless.
The spectating face slappers cursed in the chat. As for Team Everlasting's fans, they were starting to panic. They were the ones who truly cared about the outcome of this match. As soon as they saw Lord Grim's actions, they immediately realized that Team Everlasting's plan had failed. Next, how would He An's Go Forth deal with Lord Grim?
The scene in the match made it impossible for them to have any confidence in He An.
They couldn't beat him. They couldn't stick to him. This match gave all of Team Everlasting's players and Team Everlasting's fans a glimmer of hope, only to be kicked into the abyss.
He An anxiously controlled Go Forth to attack. Everyone could see that he was panicking. Go Forth's attacks still had a pattern, but they were no longer methodical. He An was taking things one step at a time. As for Lord Grim? He calmly dealt with He An's attacks and occasionally counterattacked. However, he didn't have a strong desire to counterattack. Everyone knew that he was intentionally controlling himself. Lord Grim's mana bar was slowly recovering during the battle. This kind of situation was rare even for a full set of mana recovery equipment. It could be seen just how much Lord Grim had slowed down his pace. However, He An wasn't able to take advantage of this situation. Even if he raised a huge wave, Lord Grim was just a piece of wood. No matter how many waves he made, he would never sink.
Under this kind of tempo, Lord Grim's mana had recovered to 50%. Everyone knew that Lord Grim wouldn't continue to slow down like this. He was waiting for his mana to recover to a certain level before launching an attack.
Everyone knew this.
He An knew this too.
However, he couldn't do anything about it. He was wrapped up in a deep sense of helplessness. His thoughts began to recollect. He recalled how he started playing Glory, how he trained hard but didn't get the chance to use his talent, how he was discovered by Team Everlasting and wanted to take revenge. And now, had everything reached the end?
Yes, it had reached the end!
As soon as his mana reached 50%, Lord Grim suddenly changed his tempo and began to strengthen his attacks. He An, who could no longer remain calm, was quickly suppressed by the other party. Go Forth was like a small boat in the middle of a huge wave. However, this small boat didn't have any stability. It was riddled with holes by the waves, and it looked like it was about to break apart.
It's over …...
He An's face was pale white. His hands were still moving freely, but his mind was blank. Even he didn't know what he was doing.
Glory!
When the two words flashed on the screen, He An's hands left the keyboard and mouse. He lowered his head and buried it deep in his hands. His hands quickly felt wet. He cried.
It's not that I don't want to work hard, but I really can't win!
