When Zhang Heng rushed to Nasika, Nasika's partner did not stay to fight Zhang Heng with Nasika.
He made this decision not because he was scared out of his wits, but based on his calm judgment of the current situation. In his opinion, even if Zhang Heng hid his strength, he should not be much stronger than Nasika. Even if Nasika could not defeat Zhang Heng, he should be able to hold on for a while.
Therefore, he chose to take this opportunity to kill Varo, the weakest on the field. After that, he would turn around and attack Zhang Heng with Nasika.
There was nothing wrong with this strategy. Varo was indeed as weak as he remembered. As long as he pressed on, Varo would start to panic. And the Reaper was a class that was strong in offense but weak in defense. Once Varo lost his momentum and turned to defense, it was tantamount to giving up his strengths and actively exposing his weaknesses.
In this way, he would become even more passive. He could only retreat again and again.
But at this time, a familiar voice came into Varo's ear, "Don't be afraid. He is just bluffing. Just fight with him. He may not be your opponent."
Nasika's partner was shocked when he heard this. He could tell that the voice came from Zhang Heng. Since Zhang Heng was in the mood to teach Varo, it meant that the battle between him and Nasika was over.
However, all of this happened too fast. Nasika's partner did consider the possibility that Nasika could not defeat Zhang Heng. However, he did not expect the battle to be a one-sided massacre. Nasika could not even hold on for a while. Now, he had to fight against two enemies at the same time.
He did not agree with Zhang Heng's statement that he might not be Varo's opponent. However, now that he knew that Nasika had been defeated, his spirit was indeed greatly impacted. And with Zhang Heng eyeing him from behind, he could not help but feel restrained.
On the contrary, after Varo found out that Zhang Heng had killed Nasika and came back to guide him, he suddenly felt energized. Maybe he felt that someone was there to help him, and he was not in any danger. So, Varo completely let loose, displaying everything he had learned in the training camp and the results of his training during this period to Zhang Heng.
Under such circumstances, Nasika's partner began to feel a little overwhelmed.
After all, he was a veteran gladiator. Although his talent was not that outstanding, he did not expect that one day he would be suppressed by a newcomer who had just stepped into the arena. Of course, the most important thing was that he still could not figure out why Nasika, who had dominated the twelve-gladiator mixed battle, was defeated so quickly. And how strong was Zhang Heng who defeated Nasika?
This was the main reason why he couldn't focus on the battle at hand.
Although he knew that there was no hope of winning even if he defeated Varo, he did not immediately admit defeat. This was the most basic professionalism of a mature gladiator. It was not until Varo caught him with a fishing net that he finally threw away the weapon in his hand and gave up resisting.
On the other side, the battle between the two remaining teams in the Losers Bracket had also reached a white-hot stage. In order to fight for the only resurrection spot, they were giving it their all. The scene was somewhat tragic.
In the end, although one of the teams barely won, the referee did not think that they could continue to fight after checking their wounds. Hence, the final winner of the twelve-gladiator mixed battle was born.
Listening to the tsunami-like cheers ringing in his ears, Varo felt as if he was in a dream. Moreover, it was not that he did not contribute to this victory. For the first time, he defeated a strong opponent one-on-one. This was a great boost to his confidence.
Of course, he also knew that most of the screams and cheers were for Zhang Heng, who was next to him. During this period, the people who bet on Nasika cursed him out of love.
But in the end, these voices were overwhelmed by one voice, and that was Zhang Heng's name.
There was no doubt that at this moment, a new star was rising in the Victor Arena.
The corner of Mark Reuss's mouth also raised. Although he had lost two famous gladiators, Rufus and Nasika, in the same gladiatorial show, strictly speaking, Rufus's reputation was damaged. He would be fine. However, people like Gaby knew how ruthless Zhang Heng was. He used the power that Nasika was most proud of to destroy Nasika's spirit.
Because the process was too overwhelming, it was not easy for Nasika to get out of this frustration. If he did not do it right, his strength would decline significantly, and he would have to live in the shadow of this battle for the rest of his life.
However, even if this happened, Mark Reuss would not feel too much heartache. The reason was simple. He had found a new gold mine. Not only was it enough to make up for the loss of Nasika, but it also seemed that he could make a lot of money from it.
"What do you think? Who do you think is stronger?" Mark Reuss asked Gaby excitedly.
Of course, the latter knew that Mark Reuss was not talking about Zhang Heng and Nasika because the question was obvious. Nasika's defeat could no longer be described as a fiasco. Zhang Heng used this battle to prove that the two gladiators were not on the same level. Hence, it was easy to guess who Mark Reuss was talking about.
Although Gaby was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Heng's concealment of his strength, he had to say after thinking about it, "His strength is no worse than Sethnets at his peak."
Mark Reuss's eyes lit up when he heard Gaby's words. But then, Gaby reminded him, "But he is more difficult to control than Sethnets. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to control him completely."
"It doesn't matter. Your job is to continuously select talents for the school. Leave the rest to me." Mark Reuss did not care when he heard what Gaby said. The middle-aged Roman rubbed his emerald ring with his index finger and said proudly, "Everyone has weaknesses. Money, beauty, honor, freedom … The key to dealing with people is to know what they want. You are not as good as me at this point."
"How can I be compared to you, my master?" Gaby bowed respectfully.
"After the performance, no, after this duel is over, bring him to see me." Mark Reuss stood up directly after he finished speaking. Apparently, he did not intend to watch the performance anymore. Right now, all he could think of was how to package Zhang Heng and push him to the new throne. The rest of the performance was extremely boring to him, and he simply left.
On the other side, the party was still going on. Female slaves walked around the arena with plates in their hands, and people threw the gifts they gave to the gladiators onto the plates. Most of the gifts were coins, and other than that, there were also some female products that were filled with love.
Zhang Heng waved to the audience and thanked them. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that someone in the crowd was looking at him with hostility. However, when he looked in that direction, he only saw the back of a person wrapped up in a thick layer of clothing.
