Now, Varo felt that he was a spectator, and he was one of the best spectators in the infield.
Both battles were won by Zhang Heng alone, and the process was quick. Compared to the first battle, which ended in an instant, Zhang Heng's opponent in the second battle was much more vigilant when he found out that Zhang Heng had already won.
However, it was useless for him to be cautious. In the case that the strength gap between the two sides was too big, being cautious would not change anything. Zhang Heng had to go easy on Varo, allowing him to move around a little. Otherwise, Varo would be a true spectator.
Even so, Varo's opponent did not last long. After that, Varo found out that he had won two consecutive victories. On the other side, Nasika's team, the most popular gladiator in this twelve-gladiator mix-up, was still fighting with their opponent.
After the unexpected victory in the first round, more and more spectators began to pay attention to the two gladiators in this group. Of course, strictly speaking, most people were still paying attention to Zhang Heng.
After finding out that they won the second round easily, the audience finally burst into exclamations, and they began to whisper to each other about Zhang Heng's origin.
This also made Mark Reuss very sad. The gladiator school was not prepared for this. In the end, the curious spectators found the answer from the battle schedule that was distributed to them earlier.
After that, the battle on Nasika's side finally came to an end. His opponent was directly judged to be unable to fight anymore. And this time, the audience showed understanding to the loser for the first time. They did not request for the two seriously injured gladiators to be killed. Instead, they were dragged away for treatment.
The main reason was that everyone was eager to see what would happen between Nasika's team and Zhang Heng's team.
The former was the star of the Victor Arena, and he had a large number of supporters. The latter was a newcomer who stood in the arena for the first time. No one had seen his gladiatorial performance before, and he was full of mystery.
But that was only five minutes ago. After winning two games in a row, Zhang Heng finally gained his first batch of fans, and many of them were women, especially some of the noblewomen. They seemed to be quite interested in this dark-haired, dark-eyed, exotic oriental man.
And now, Zhang Heng's new "fans" had begun to cheer for their favorite gladiators. Among them, there were some virtuous and gentle ladies who were usually on the street and at home. Now, they seemed to have changed into different people. They rolled up their sleeves and constantly cursed at Zhang Heng's opponent, Nasika.
Zhang Heng finally felt how important a gladiatorial performance was to the Roman people. It was said that when Sethnets was at his peak, he was a hundred times more popular than now. It was no wonder that Mark Reuss placed so much importance on finding the next Sethnets.
And now, the owner of the gladiator school was looking at Zhang Heng with great interest. He was different from Gaby. Many people said that he was a ruthless and ruthless person. However, that was not true. Mark Reuss was ruthless to those who had no value to him. Mark Reuss was always very kind to those who could bring him. He was very of of of his was that he could could brought. He was that Who who was, of those who was. was. that he who who who. who who who Zhang of Zhang and of of of of of of Zhang was.
Gaby might be unhappy that Zhang Heng had concealed his strength, but Mark Reuss would not. When he found out that his daughter had an affair with Sethnets, not only did he not reprimand Sethnets, but he also pretended that he did not know about it.
Those who did not know him well would think that Mark Reuss was a man of great tolerance. However, Gaby, who had been with Mark Reuss for decades, knew a lot of things that others did not. When Sethnets announced that he was going to retire, and the gladiator school arranged his final battle for him, Mark Reuss had asked Gaby in private whether he should let Sethnets leave the arena safely with his legendary story intact or let him die on the battlefield, which would bring him more fame and benefits.
At that time, Gaby only felt a cold sweat on his back. Sethnets had made a lot of contributions to the Victor Arena over the years, and he had also made a lot of money for Mark Reuss. However, Mark Reuss had no feelings for Sethnets at all. As always, he only cared about profit and value.
This was Mark Reuss, an absolute believer in profit.
Because of this, he found Zhang Heng very pleasing to the eye. He could also write a lot about Zhang Heng's origin and mystery.
Why did Mark Reuss not notice this before? The reason was simple. That was because the gladiatorial performance's packaging was just a means. Strength was the foundation of everything. Without strength, there would be no packaging. And with packaging and strength, a gladiatorial star was born.
While Mark Reuss was still thinking about how to package Zhang Heng, the battle on the other side had already begun.
When Nasika first saw Varo and Zhang Heng, he was surprised and delighted. When the first round of battle was confirmed, he thought he would never have the chance to teach these two arrogant newcomers a lesson. However, when he heard the referee say that they were the only two winning teams left, he realized that something was wrong.
Nasika was not stupid. He quickly realized that the two rookies in front of him might have hidden their true strength. The fact that they could win two battles in such a short period of time proved a lot. Even he could not do it. However, Nasika was not afraid. He was still quite confident in his strength.
The combat experience he had accumulated over the years in the Victor Arena was not something the two opponents could compare with.
Just when he was thinking about how to attack, he did not expect Zhang Heng to speak first. The latter asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Nasika asked subconsciously.
However, Zhang Heng did not answer him again. He just said, "Don't worry, it will be over soon."
After that, he moved first. Nasika did not mind testing Zhang Heng's strength first. So he also raised the big shield in his left hand and put on a defensive posture.
And this was also the decision he regretted the most in this battle.
Of course, what surprised him even more was that this was also the only decision he could make in this battle.
The next moment, Zhang Heng's figure had already appeared in front of Nasika. This time, Zhang Heng used the sword-drawing technique that he learned in the Bakumatsu quest. He integrated all his strength and spirit into the sword-drawing technique. There was nothing fancy about it. However, when he slashed the shield with his sword, Nasika, who was behind the shield, felt that he could not resist it at all.
Nasika was inexplicably horrified. One had to know that his strength was already very outstanding. Even Sethnets was no match for him in this regard. The newcomer, Bach, might be able to wrestle with him. Zhang Heng should not be as strong as him in terms of strength. However, he did not know why he could not make full use of his advantage even though he had the upper hand in terms of strength.
And all this was just the beginning. Soon, Zhang Heng's second slash came, followed by the third, the fourth … From the beginning to the end, Zhang Heng only did one thing.
And that was to keep slashing at the shield in Nasika's hand.
Other than barely managing to block the first slash, Nasika could not help but retreat after that. He had made a lot of efforts and attempts. He even threw away the short sword in his hand and used his other hand to help. However, no matter what he did, he felt like a small boat in a storm. He could not withstand this terrifying pressure at all. All his struggles were in vain.
Nasika even began to doubt the strength that he was most proud of.
It was not until his hands were numb, and his legs were weak that he could no longer hold on. He let go of the shield in his hand, and then he saw a white light flashing in front of him. Nasika had decided to close his eyes and wait for death. However, in the end, the seemingly unstoppable slash suddenly stopped less than a centimeter in front of his nose.
