Chapter 1378 He Found It!

To make mana recover effectively and automatically, it wasn't something that could be achieved with one or two pieces of equipment. With the current attribute values of equipment levels, a complete set of many pieces was still needed. Although Lord Grim now had many Level 80 silver equipment pieces that didn't show their attributes, it was still quite straightforward to determine whether or not he had attributes that affected mana or health recovery over time.

Clearly, Lord Grim didn't have any at the moment.

And in professional matches, it was something no one had done in a long time to bring an entire set of equipment. The weight increased by a set of equipment would be a burden in such high-level professional matches, let alone the highest-level playoffs in the entire Glory competition.

However, Li Yibo didn't dare to use common sense to deduce this.

Ye Xiu leading Happy back to the professional scene this time had already brought too many surprises. It was possible that he would do anything that violated common sense. Perhaps Ye Xiu's unspecialized Lord Grim could handle the increased weight from this set of equipment?

Li Yibo didn't say anything. Everyone was waiting and watching.

Lu Hanwen went off the stage and returned to Blue Rain's player area.

Song Xiao started the match and knocked off 30% of Lord Grim's health. Lu Hanwen's performance in this round looked more aggressive and better than Song Xiao's, but in the end, he only knocked off 26% of Lord Grim's health, which was even worse than Song Xiao.

This showed that the scene and the final data were sometimes two different things. Song Xiao looked like he was passively beaten the entire time and was taken away by a burst, but even in such a process, he managed to put a considerable amount of pressure on Ye Xiu with his tenacious defense. On the other hand, Lu Hanwen seemed to have a more obvious desire to advance on the stage and even managed to counterattack and seize opportunities to attack, but in the end, the pressure he exerted was not as much as Song Xiao.

However, the players of Blue Rain didn't dwell on this issue.

"You played well," Captain Yu Wenzhou said.

Lu Hanwen nodded, not taking such simple words lightly. He knew that their captain never used platitudes to casually comfort his teammates. Whether it was success or failure, right or wrong, he would always say it gently and sincerely. Not excessively stimulating, nor excessively protecting.

Therefore, although he didn't win, his performance was correct and recognized. With this thought, Lu Hanwen's courage increased even more, and he wished he could rush back and fight Ye Xiu again immediately.

Of course, this was impossible. All Lu Hanwen could do was shout at Huang Shaotian, Blue Rain's third player, who was already walking onto the stage: "Huang Shao, add oil!"

Huang Shaotian heard it but didn't turn around. He just waved his right hand, raised his index and middle fingers, and made a victory "v" sign.

"Ah, Blue Rain has already sent Huang Shaotian out in the third slot!" Pan Lin said.

In the playoffs' five-player elimination match, it wasn't enough to just win the final victory. The key was to get more kill points. So, the mainstream view had always been that ace players should be in the third or fourth slot, striving to win in those two positions to get at least 2 to 3 kill points. If they were placed in the fifth slot, even if they won the entire game at the end, it would only be 1 kill point. 1 kill point would have a much smaller impact on the team competition. Team competitions rarely ended so tragically with only one person alive.

"But the current situation should be very unfavorable for Blue Rain," Li Yibo said. Leading by one-on-two, Li Yibo was being very cautious in his statement about such a record, which showed how careful he was now.

Ye Xiu's Lord Grim still had 44% health, but more importantly, only 11% mana. This amount of mana was definitely not enough to kill an opponent like Huang Shaotian. What would Ye Xiu do? Did he bring equipment, or did he use a skill like Hope's Hymn again?

But even with Hope's Hymn, with Lord Grim's low-level skills and intelligence, mana recovery would probably only be around 10%. 21%, I'm afraid that's still not enough to deal with Huang Shaotian, right?

But having already defeated two opponents, everyone wouldn't expect too much from Ye Xiu at this point. In this match, everyone would see it as a victory no matter how much health he took from Huang Shaotian.

Huang Shaotian entered the stage, took his seat, loaded his character, and the third round of the elimination match quickly began.

"He actually came up so quickly. He must be feeling a lot of pressure facing us, right?" Ye Xiu started talking in the chat at the beginning of the match. The audience saw Lord Grim raise his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, with blue light surrounding his body and chanting runes flying around. It was indeed the start of Hope's Hymn. However, mana recovery equipment still hadn't appeared. It seemed that even Ye Xiu couldn't carry such a big burden in the playoffs' rhythm.

"I don't have much mana left. You sure had an easy time picking up that wallet!" Ye Xiu continued.

"Why aren't you talking? I'm talking more because it's you. What's wrong? Are you muted, or are you so afraid that you're speechless and choked with sobs?" Ye Xiu was still talking. In a short while, Ye Xiu had already sent three messages, which made everyone very curious. What was going on? Huang Shaotian didn't say a word, but Ye Xiu was chattering non-stop. Did these two switch souls or something?

"What the heck, are you annoying or what!"

Just when everyone was wondering, Huang Shaotian finally exploded.

"Who wants to talk to you? We're enemies now, enemies! Understand?"

"You were very arrogant just now when you took down two of us! Are you trying to recover mana or doing some Hope's Hymn now? Just use whatever sneaky tricks you have!"

In just a moment, Huang Shaotian had already replied three times in a row. In terms of this kind of rhythm, he really surpassed Ye Xiu.

"Well, that's more like it. If you don't yell a few times, the whole atmosphere of the match is wrong," Ye Xiu said.

"Atmosphere my head. You won't have much mana left even if you use tricks. Stop wasting time and come out to die quickly!" Huang Shaotian shouted.

"Don't worry, I'm recovering mana as you wish!" Ye Xiu said.

"Sure enough, you're sneaky and despicable," Huang Shaotian said.

"Heh, are you jealous?" Ye Xiu asked back.

Casting Hope's Hymn took a long time to chant and release the skill, so Ye Xiu had started casting the skill from the beginning. Huang Shaotian probably guessed that Ye Xiu would do this, so Night Rain harbored no reservations and charged straight over at the beginning.

The two of them were doing their jobs while chatting in the chat, which made everyone stunned. This was the playoffs! It was so tense. Who was chatting like this in the previous two rounds? Speaking of which, Ye Xiu really deserved to be a super god. His mentality was so good that he could even chat with Huang Shaotian...

Everyone thought silently, but these two were chatting without any bounds. Although Hope's Hymn was slow, it was still a bit faster than Night Rain charging in front of him. Happy's arena map wasn't the smallest type, perhaps for this moment.

Finally, Hope's Hymn was cast, and Lord Grim's mana recovered 11%, currently at 22%. With this fifth of mana, Ye Xiu could easily beat two or three ordinary players, but fighting a professional player depended on the situation. Basically, no one had any expectations of Ye Xiu against a strong player like Huang Shaotian. Those who supported Happy only hoped that he would deplete Night Rain's health as much as possible. When Ye Xiu defeated Song Xiao, Blue Rain's first player, some people even shouted "One vs. Five," but now, no one was shouting "One vs. Three."

Shouting "One vs. Five" sounded like fantasy, so shouting it made people know it was a joke and didn't take it seriously. But now shouting "One vs. Three"? Theoretically, 22% mana was enough to take down one character. But the opponent was Huang Shaotian, and shouting it like that made him look very ignorant. The fanatical fans were suddenly very rational at this time and didn't come up with inappropriate slogans.

Ending Hope's Hymn, Ye Xiu didn't let Lord Grim go straight, but cut to the right wing like the previous round. This wasn't surprising. Being at a disadvantage at the beginning, and the opponent being such a strong player, of course he needed some tactics.

Night Rain continued to charge, and Lord Grim circled to the right wing and quickly went straight to the middle. Everyone saw that this was simply a replica of the previous match! Was Ye Xiu trying to directly insert himself behind the opponent again for a sneak attack advantage?

Sure enough, as expected.

Ye Xiu had also calculated Night Rain's movement speed this time. Lord Grim circled to the right wing, then went straight in, synchronizing the rhythm with Night Rain's arrival. Of course, it wasn't so coincidental that it was the same shrub as last time, but there were also enough ambush points for Lord Grim to hide.

Rolling, sliding, and these low-level movement skills again. Before long, Lord Grim had rushed to the side of the road.

However, at this time, the audience at the scene saw from the electronic screen's Huang Shaotian's first-person perspective that his perspective was locked on the location where Lord Grim was ambushing.

The TV broadcast was a bit slow, but it quickly gave a small picture of Huang Shaotian's first-person perspective.

"Ah, it seems that Ye Xiu's ambush location has been discovered!" Pan Lin shouted.

"Blue Rain already has enough understanding of the map, and Ye Xiu is repeating the methods of the previous round," Li Yibo said.

"Will he attack directly?" Pan Lin shouted. Just as he finished speaking, Night Rain stopped.

Quiet.

Sudden silence.

Originally, Night Rain's footsteps kept hitting the ground, and Ye Xiu was relying on the sound to judge his moving position. At this time, if he showed his head, Lord Grim would be directly seen by Huang Shaotian.

But Huang Shaotian suddenly stopped Night Rain...

This guy discovered it!

Ye Xiu immediately thought. Now, he could roughly judge the position where Night Rain would land, but it was possible that Huang Shaotian had taken the opportunity to make Night Rain do small jumps, rolls, slow movements, and other silent movements.

If his position was judged inaccurately, attacking at this time would be passive. This was definitely not what Ye Xiu wanted.

Ye Xiu, who had instantly cleared his mind, acted extremely decisively.

Slide!

Lord Grim moved in a low position, then did two consecutive rolls to the right. Ye Xiu had actually made Lord Grim transfer away in an instant.
