Chapter 199 Change Equipment!

He An was momentarily stunned. According to the rules, this was perfectly fine. Even in professional leagues, as long as the equipment was in the character's inventory, it could be swapped out at any time. Using equipment in such a situation-specific way seemed very targeted, but the problem was that if there was too much equipment in the inventory, the character's weight would increase, and their movement and jumping abilities would definitely be weakened.

In online games, this slight weakening wouldn't matter much. But in professional competitions, such a back-and-forth could become a fatal difference. So, bringing equipment to swap out was possible, but it had to be done in moderation, so as not to be weighed down by carrying too much equipment. Generally speaking, the first choice was to make changes to accessories, because the weight of accessories was very low, and bringing a few more wouldn't have much impact.

But what about Lord Grim now?

He An swept his gaze over him, and from head to toe, Lord Grim was completely different from what he remembered. Hat, shoulder pads, clothes, pants, belt, shoes, was there even one piece that looked familiar? They had all been changed!

This kind of thorough equipment swap was rarely seen in the Glory scene today. Only in the early days, when players were still exploring various Glory combat styles, was it possible to adopt such a unrestrained and bold tactic.

This must be Ye Qiu!

He An stared dumbfounded at Lord Grim, who had completely changed his equipment. He felt that only a god-level player like Ye Qiu, who had survived from ancient times, could think of using such a tactic. It was so outdated!

But did this outdated tactic show any signs of being unsuitable?

No, not at all…

Lord Grim had already solved two characters from Team Wuji, and was taking the initiative in the duel with He An's Rén Qù Yě. And this was all done while being affected by the weight. Since the weight didn't have any fatal impact on him, then this kind of tactic wouldn't have any unacceptable flaws.

What kind of equipment did Lord Grim have on him right now?

He An's mouse moved quickly.

Hat… no need to click to look at it, just this pointy, tall, sky-blue shape, this was the Great Wizard Hat, right?

Upper body… seems like no need to click to look either, the Cloud Flow Daoist Robe, usually the equipment chosen by Qi Masters.

Pants, belt, shoulder pads, shoes, and even cloak, necklace, badge, etc.

Some, He An recognized at a glance, and some needed to be moved over to confirm and observe.

But in fact, after seeing a few pieces of equipment that he could recognize, He An already had a conclusion in his mind. He didn't need to look at the other equipment, he knew what kind of equipment it was.

Lord Grim's current equipment was all about automatically restoring mana, extending the character's endurance. Especially those few pieces that He An recognized at a glance, those were all famous pieces of equipment in the online game circle.

After all, endurance was more important in PVE-type battles that lasted longer. In PVP, to be honest, it was rare to have a situation where you ran out of mana. No matter which class, one mana bar was more than enough to kill a player character.

But now, this equipment that was not often used in PVP was all concentrated on Lord Grim. Precisely because this character was currently facing the embarrassment of insufficient mana.

This guy was prepared!

He An realized. Because the characters participating had to have all the preparations done before being submitted to the list. This equipment couldn't have been prepared temporarily when Lord Grim realized he needed to fight a one-versus-three. This was already on Lord Grim from the beginning of the individual competition, and this 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 speed visible to the naked eye. He wasn't in a hurry at all. He An's Rén Qù Yě didn't attack, and he just strolled around there leisurely.

Can't waste time like this!

He An woke up.

Even with a set of mana recovery equipment, as long as it was in a normal-paced duel, the rate of mana consumption would definitely be faster than the automatic recovery. Now he should step up the pressure to keep Lord Grim's mana in a state of constant interruption. Without guaranteeing this advantage, what means did he have to defeat this opponent?

Thinking of this, He An didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Rén Qù Yě rushed up to attack, using Wave Sword, Wave Formation, and so on. This time, it wasn't deliberately showing off how abundant his mana was, but he really wanted to quickly limit Lord Grim's situation.

The current Lord Grim wasn't as strong as before! He An told himself this. Because Lord Grim's current equipment only pursued mana recovery, even purple equipment was used. Compared to the previous set of silver and orange equipment, the attributes must have dropped by more than one grade.

However, He An soon realized with sorrow that even so, he still couldn't do anything about Lord Grim.

Lord Grim's attributes had dropped by more than one grade, but the level of Lord Grim's operator was much higher than He An's.

He An thought that Lord Grim would use this equipment to recover some mana, and then switch back to the original powerful equipment to attack. Who knew that Lord Grim, wearing this mana recovery equipment, would take the initiative to attack him.

However, this offensive wasn't as fierce as before. It looked like he was just casually parrying and tapping. He An wasn't beaten too badly, and the two seemed to be engaged in an evenly matched confrontation.

But in this confrontation, He An watched as the other party's mana not only didn't decrease but increased, and his heart was bleeding. If this continued, it would be over! If he lost, Team Wuji, and the future of all the players on Team Wuji, would become uncertain.

Can't lose!

He An ignited his fighting spirit, erupted with his hand speed, seized the opportunity, endured the damage, and used a Triple Wave technique, successively pushing three Wave Swords towards Lord Grim.

Lord Grim didn't hesitate either, raised his gun and shot. Amidst the sound of gunfire, the character retreated quickly, using the flying gun technique to escape.

The wave of explosions that He An had launched with great momentum had just started, but it ended with the opponent escaping. Lord Grim used flying guns, shadow clones, and mechanical propellers, and the skillfulness of his escape was no less than that of his combos.

He An was really a little tearful, and the fighting spirit that had been ignited completely dissipated. He didn't know what to do with this opponent anymore. Although he clearly knew that he had to stick to Lord Grim, Lord Grim just escaped so cleanly, making him realize that wanting to stick to Lord Grim was as difficult as wanting to escape when being stuck by Lord Grim.

How difficult was it to escape when being stuck by Lord Grim? He An had learned it in the previous round, and today, the warlock player and the qigong master player could also give everyone a clear answer.

He An was in a mess, and the audience was in an uproar.

Lord Grim changed his equipment right under their noses, and they watched every piece he changed. Just the speed of the equipment change alone was enough to make people realize how strong this person's operation was. And after watching a few pieces of equipment, the audience, like He An, immediately understood Lord Grim's intentions.

He actually brought mana recovery equipment from the beginning, could this person be any more shameless?

As the side that was criticizing Lord Grim, of course, no one would think that this was Ye Xiu's foresight. Shameless, this was 100% shameless.

The onlookers who were waiting to slap their faces cursed in the channel, while the fans of Team Wuji were already a little panicked at this time. They were the ones who really cared about the outcome of this match. As soon as they saw Lord Grim making such a thing, they immediately realized that Team Wuji's calculations had completely failed. Next, how would He An's Rén Qù Yě deal with Lord Grim?

The scene that appeared in the match made them unable to have confidence in He An.

He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't stick to him. This match made all the players and fans of Wuji see hope, but then kicked them into the abyss.

He An anxiously operated Rén Qù Yě to launch a preemptive attack. Everyone could see that he was already in a mess. Rén Qù Yě's attack still had routines, but it had no rules. He An was just taking one step at a time. And what about Lord Grim? He was dealing with He An's offensive unhurriedly, with occasional counterattacks. But the desire for counterattack wasn't strong. Everyone knew that he was deliberately controlling it. Lord Grim's mana bar was slowly recovering in the battle. Such a situation could only appear with a body of mana recovery equipment. It could be seen to what extent Lord Grim had slowed down his pace. However, this level had already made it impossible for He An to gain an advantage. Even if he stirred up a monstrous wave, Lord Grim was just a piece of light wood. No matter how you waved, he would never sink.

Under such a rhythm, Lord Grim's mana was forcefully restored to 50%. Everyone knew that Lord Grim wouldn't continue at such a slow pace. He was waiting for his mana to recover to a certain stage before launching an offensive.

Everyone knew this.

He An also knew this.

But he had no way. He was deeply wrapped in a sense of powerlessness. His thoughts began to recall, recalling how he started playing Glory, how he worked hard to practice his skills but was not discovered, how he was discovered by the relegated Wuji and wanted to show his revenge. And now, had everything come to an end?

Yes, it had come to an end!

Once his mana passed 50%, Lord Grim suddenly changed his rhythm and began to intensify his offensive. He An, whose mind could no longer be calm, was quickly completely suppressed by the opponent. Rén Qù Yě became a small boat in a huge wave, but this small boat had no stability. It was hammered by the waves until it was riddled with holes and was about to fall apart.

It's over…

He An's face was already pale. His hands were still operating, but his brain was already blank. Even he himself didn't know what his operation was doing.

Glory!

When the two big words flashed on the screen, He An's hands left the keyboard and mouse, and his head was buried deeply. His hands quickly felt wet. He was crying.

It's not that I don't want to work hard, but I really can't win!
