I Have 48 Hours a Day

Chapter 761 The Evergreen Tree in Victor Arena

Zhang Heng walked out of the crowd and took the wooden weapon handed by the trainer.

The eyes of everyone present immediately focused on him.

Although everyone has experienced forty-nine days of terrifying and high-intensity training, everyone has improved a lot compared to when they first came to the gladiator school. However, judging from the results of the first two rounds of battles, the newcomers are still not as good as those formal gladiators. Fighter.

If Grif suffered a narrow defeat, then Galata suffered a disastrous defeat. The newcomers were currently trailing 2-0, and the atmosphere on the newcomers' side became even more tense after seeing Galata's fate.

In the upcoming battle, Zhang Heng was still the underdog. Apart from his fight with Bach, he hardly left any special impression on others. His performance in training was quite satisfactory. Among the newcomers, he was only average and unremarkable. On the other hand, his opponent Garba was an experienced gladiator.

Not only is he old, he is also very senior.

He didn't become a gladiator until he was twenty-eight, and he worked for nine years. Considering that the average age of a gladiator is only 25, Galba's career can definitely be called a miracle. His situation is a bit like Varro's. Similarly, becoming a gladiator was to pay off debts.

He did this as early as his third year as a gladiator, and then retired for half a year. However, he returned to the arena due to personal reasons half a year later, and has been working ever since.

In the past nine years, he has witnessed the rise and fall of countless heroes, and has also witnessed the legend of Sisnatus. As for himself, he does not have many battles to extol, but with his conscientious work attitude and long-term During the waiting time, he actually accumulated a regular audience.

And he himself is also known as the evergreen tree of Victor Arena. In addition, when Garba will die or retire has always been one of the enduring hot topics in Victor Arena. There are even people who are dedicated to him. This opened the gambling game.

Garba and Zhang Heng came on stage together. He smiled friendly at Zhang Heng, but Zhang Heng returned the favor politely.

Galball was a little surprised. He had seen the performance of the two newcomers before, and he himself was a newcomer. He knew the importance of the final assessment for the newcomers. Nervousness was inevitable, but he saw from Zhang Heng’s eyes He couldn't see any emotions that a newcomer should have. In fact, he could see nothing in Zhang Heng's eyes.

The latter's eyes are as deep and calm as the stars in the night sky.

Garba didn't have time to think too much, because the trainer acting as the referee had already made a signal to start the fight.

Zhang Heng did not commit Galata's fault. He retreated timidly before fighting. He did not put on the defensive like Griff. Instead, he took the initiative to approach Galba at the beginning of the battle. However, he did not rush to attack. When he was about to approach Garba's attack range, he stopped and turned into a defensive posture.

Gabby nodded secretly when he saw this.

This is the best choice for a clear-minded new gladiator. Although a gladiatorial performance is a fight, its essential attribute is an entertainment performance. An excellent gladiator must not only pursue victory, but also consider the audience's needs. Preferences, and even go a step further, use the audience's preferences to create conditions for your own victory.

On the surface, Zhang Heng and Grieve adopt the same combat strategy, which is to defend first and fight steadily, but don't underestimate the two steps he took before, which brought completely different feelings to the audience.

The former was suspected of fighting passively, but the latter kicked the tricky ball to his opponent.

As the oldest gladiator in the Victor Arena, Galba certainly realized that he had to attack first at this time, so he did not hesitate and gave up his plan to wait and see Zhang Heng's strength first and took action directly.

Compared with newcomers, these formal gladiators who are used as opponents for assessment actually have disadvantages, that is, their understanding of their opponents is far less than their opponents' understanding of them. This is also normal. For newcomers, except for tomorrow's like Bach, Stars are basically not very famous, and there are no previous battle records to check.

Zhang Heng's fighting style, special combat methods, weaknesses... Garba didn't know any of this until the moment before taking action, so he was very cautious at the beginning of the fight, and his attacks were mainly based on probing.

As the opponent, Zhang Heng also responded with the standard moves taught by the trainer. Although there was nothing too eye-catching, he did not make any mistakes. So after the test failed, Galba gradually increased his aggressiveness, trying to use high-pressure techniques. The attack forced Zhang Heng to reveal his flaws.

This is also a method commonly used by veteran gladiators to deal with newcomers. Many newcomers can deal with it very well if they take it apart one by one. But once they are put together, the time to think becomes shorter and they start to rush. At this time, experienced Old gladiators can let their survival instincts take over their bodies, but newcomers cannot.

What's more, Zhang Heng's profession is a double swordsman, which is not a profession good at defense. Of course, Galba, as a fish helmet fighter, is not a profession good at offense. Their weapon only has a short sword, but the fish helmet A fighter will be equipped with a rectangular shield half a person's height, which is a profession with strong defensive power.

And with Galba's rich combat experience, a short sword was enough for him to teach the young man in front of him a good lesson.

Sure enough, when he started to put pressure, Zhang Heng also gave up his defense and started to attack him.

The battle between the two so far is not exciting. Marcus on the second floor was so angry that he didn't even bother to eat figs, but Gabi nodded secretly.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

In Gaby's eyes, Zhang Heng has not made any mistakes so far, and has always remained calm and clear-headed in the face of various situations. This is an extremely rare advantage.

Don’t underestimate this, it sounds easier than it is for a newbie.

The previous Griff and Galata are the best examples. Compared to the two of them, Zhang Heng’s opponent was the arena living fossil Galba who had more combat experience. However, Zhang Heng did not completely fall into Galba’s fighting rhythm. go.

Gabby began to have a slight interest in this Oriental man whom he had not paid much attention to before, so he also recalled the scene when the two parties first met. He seemed to have used a whip to scare the Oriental man, but the other person seemed to Knowing how long the whip was, he didn't even blink.

A gladiator with extremely good mental qualities? It's normal that I didn't notice it before. It seems like maybe we can look forward to it a little bit?
