Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Anti-tank gun!

As Lord Grim turned to dodge the attack, he also pulled out an anti-tank gun from behind and fired three rounds at He An. The three shells were fired from three points in a near-triangular shape, which was the anti-tank gun's triangular attack maneuver.

This is not a very advanced maneuver in professional matches, but it is completely different when performed at this distance. The advantage of this tactic is that it directly blocks the opponent's movement space. It can be said that no matter which direction the opponent moves, they will run into an anti-tank gun.

He An didn't even have time to dodge; he could only manage a weak dodge, but he was still hit.

boom!
The massive explosion sent He An flying. He tried to use the attack to create distance, but Lord Grim followed up with a thrust, impaling him on the tip of his sword and interrupting He An's retreat. Then, with an upward slash, he launched He An into the air. Lord Grim then leaped up and unleashed a low-level swordsman's skill, the Aerial Combo Slash, delivering two strikes. Just as the two were about to land, Lord Grim pointed his sword.

A flash of silver light!

Faced with Lord Grim's relentless barrage of attacks, He An remained unmoved. He even wondered what kind of attacks Lord Grim could unleash, and even attempted to dodge and struggle in mid-air, only to be interrupted by Lord Grim's aerial combo. Then, Lord Grim slammed him down again with a Silver Light Slash, his back hitting the ground directly, the powerful impact slightly bouncing his character back into the air. Lord Grim gave his opponent no chance to recover, his katana transforming into a sword beam as he swung out.

It was a sword-drawing slash!
But Lord Grim's attack didn't end there; he followed up with a sliding tackle and then a knee strike.

Another aerial attack was unleashed, and the continuous barrage of aerial attacks prevented He An from even landing. This time, He An attempted to dodge with Silver Light Slash, but Lord Grim launched him away again with an aerial bomb. The Demon Swordsman, after all, wasn't a swordsman; they didn't possess as many exquisite and ornate sword techniques. Their various wave attacks and wave array skills were all wide and powerful, undeniably imposing, but lacking in finesse control. As a result, when the Demon Swordsman was suppressed by such meticulous attacks, it was difficult for him to escape.

Not to mention that the person who created this situation was Ye Xiu, and he was using a non-special character. He An's thinking and operation were completely unable to keep up with Lord Grim's attacks, let alone interrupt the opponent's attack rhythm.

For a moment, He An's character was being tossed around by Lord Grim, the scene was truly horrific. But He An remained remarkably calm amidst this spectacle. He had noticed that with each attack from Lord Grim, their mana was rapidly depleting. He believed that with his character's defense and the remaining mana of his opponent, there was absolutely no way he could kill him. And once Lord Grim's mana was exhausted, that would be his time to counterattack.

Of course, although he kept telling himself to just keep going like this, he still felt a little embarrassed watching his character get completely overwhelmed by the opponent. He had tried, but to no avail. Finally, to cover up his embarrassment, He An simply started typing messages while his character was being relentlessly attacked.

"Is there any point in continuing like this? With your meager mana, you think you can kill me?" He An said in the channel.

"hehe."

Ye Xiu simply responded with two words. And he did so during a combo, as if attacking his opponent required almost no effort from him.

"You're still in the mood to laugh? Haven't you even looked at your mana bar? Look, it's about to turn red," He An said. The mana bar, unlike the health bar, doesn't turn red when it reaches 10%. He An knew the other wouldn't fall for it; he was just feigning humor to show he wasn't under pressure, while simultaneously implying the other's mana was nearly depleted, perhaps even influencing their mind.

He An seemed to see that his words had an effect. He noticed that Lord Grim's next attack would pause. After all, there is no perfect combo in Glory, not even for the great Ye Qiu.

And that was the flaw he was waiting for!

As expected, I did influence them.

The thought flashed through He An's mind in an instant, but his hands didn't slacken in the slightest. After this period of continuous attacks, his Silver Light Slash was finally ready, and he executed it directly. Upon landing successfully, he immediately rolled and jumped back. When the view lifted again and he looked at Lord Grim, he was completely stunned.

Because Jun Moxiao's entire character has changed.

It can be said that apart from the character's face being the same, all the other equipment on the character has been completely replaced.

"My mana bar is almost empty, so it's normal for me to switch to a set of equipment that restores mana faster, right?"

Change your gear!
At this moment, He An felt as if his two heads were fighting each other. So this is how it was solved?
He has no solution to this yet, because legally it's not a problem. After all, Glory allows characters to bring additional equipment into battle, and in the early days of Glory, a swordsman playstyle that involved switching between different types of swords was popular. However, this playstyle results in a heavier backpack, and the weight of the backpack can affect the character. Therefore, professional players nowadays generally only carry one potion and nothing else, worried that these things might negatively impact the character.

After all, the weight of the backpack directly affects a character's movement speed, jump height, and even a certain attack speed. Although carrying some items won't have a significant impact, and might not even reach the threshold affecting attack speed, it's still a zero-sum game. In professional matches, even a slight difference can influence the outcome. Therefore, even when carrying equipment, the limit now is to carry only the lightest accessories possible, depending on tactics or the opponent's situation.

But what about Ye Xiu now? He brought a whole set of equipment with him, to the point that He An almost thought he had traveled through time.

Keep in mind that this was a tactic that only emerged in the very early days of the Glory Alliance, when everyone was still figuring things out. What era are we living in? How can such a tactic still exist?
This guy must be Ye Qiu!
Besides Ye Qiu, He An really couldn't think of anyone else who would play like this. He estimated that many professional players today might not even know about this style of play.

But what terrified him even more was that despite the heavy load, his opponent showed no signs of discomfort and even killed two of them in succession. He himself was constantly being beaten down by his opponent.

Is this guy a monster? (End of Chapter)
