Chapter 782 An Overwhelming Victory
When Zhang Heng rushed towards Nasika, Nasika's partner did not stay where he was with Nasika to deal with Zhang Heng.
He made this choice not because he was suddenly frightened, but based on his calm judgment of the situation at hand. In his opinion, even if Zhang Heng hid his strength, he should not be much stronger than Nasika, so even if Nasika fights However, it should still be able to hold up for a while.
Therefore, he chose to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Varro, the weakest player on the field, and then turned around and flanked Zhang Heng with Nasika.
There can't be anything wrong with this strategy. Varro is indeed as weak as he thought. As soon as he presses hard, the former will start to panic, and the Net Fighter itself is a profession that attacks the strong and defends the weak. Once Varro is in momentum, If you lose and turn defensive, you are giving up your strengths and taking the initiative to expose your weaknesses.
In this way, he becomes more passive and can only retreat again and again, which is surrounded by dangers.
But at this moment, a familiar voice came to Varro's ears, "Don't be afraid, he is just bluffing, just go ahead and fight him, he may not be your opponent."
Nasika's partner was shocked when he heard this, because he recognized that the voice came from Zhang Heng, and since the other party was in the mood to give advice to Varo, it meant that the battle between him and Nasika was over.
It's just that all this happened too fast. Nasika's partner did consider the possibility of Nasika losing to Zhang Heng, but they never thought that the battle would be a one-sided massacre. Nasika actually didn't even have time to fight for a while. He couldn't hold on, and now he was one against two.
He didn't agree with Zhang Heng's statement that he might not be Varro's opponent, but now that he knew Nasika had been defeated, his spirit was indeed greatly impacted, and with Zhang Heng watching covetously behind his back, he couldn't help it. Start to tie your hands and feet.
On the contrary, after discovering that Zhang Heng had killed Nasika and came back to give him guidance, Varro suddenly became energetic. He may have felt that there was someone nearby to help him conquer the formation, and there was no danger, so Varro completely let go. He used his hands and feet to perfectly demonstrate what he learned in the training camp and the training results during this period.
Under the circumstances, Nasika's partner actually began to feel a little overwhelmed.
After all, he can be regarded as a veteran gladiator. Although his talent is not too outstanding, he did not expect that one day he would be suppressed by a newcomer who had just entered the arena. Of course, the most important thing is that he still has not figured out why before. Nasika, who had always dominated the twelve-man melee, would be defeated so quickly, and how ridiculously strong should Zhang Heng, who defeated Nasika, be?
This was the main reason why he could never focus on the current battle.
However, even though he knew that there was no hope of victory even if he defeated Varro, he still did not admit defeat immediately. This was the most basic professional quality of a mature gladiator. It was not until Varro caught him with a fishing net because he was distracted that he finally threw it away. weapons and give up resistance.
On the other side, there were only two teams left in the loser group, and the fight was at a fever pitch. They tried their best to compete for the only resurrection spot, and the scene was a bit tragic for a while.
In the end, although one group barely won, the referee did not think they could continue fighting after checking their wounds, so the final winner of this twelve-person melee was born.
Listening to the roaring and tsunami-like cheers ringing in his ears, Varro had the illusion that he was in a dream, and he also contributed to this victory. For the first time, he defeated a strong opponent one-on-one. , which is also a great boost to his confidence.
Of course, he also knew that most of the screams and cheers were for Zhang Heng beside him, and they were also accompanied by the curses of love and hatred from those who had bet on Nasika.
But in the end, these voices were all suppressed by one voice, and that was Zhang Heng's name.
There is no doubt that a new star is rising in Victor Arena at this very moment.
The corner of Marcus's mouth also raised. Although he lost two stars who could sell tickets in the same gladiatorial show, Rufus and Nasika. Of course, strictly speaking, the latter's reputation was only damaged, but he was fine. , but in fact, knowledgeable people like Gabby know how ruthless Zhang Heng was, and used Nasika's most proud power to directly destroy Nasika from the spiritual level.
Because the process is too overwhelming, it is not easy for the latter to get over this frustration. If not, his strength will decline significantly afterwards, and he will live in the shadow of this battle for the rest of his life.
But even if this happens, Marcus will not feel too heartbroken. The reason is very simple. He has discovered a new gold mine, which is not only enough to make up for the loss of Nasika, but also seems to be able to make a lot of money.
"So, who do you think is better between the two?" Marcus asked Gabi beside him enthusiastically.
Of course the latter knew that what Marcus and the others were talking about was not Zhang Heng and Nasika, because the problem was obvious. Nasika could no longer be described as a tragic defeat. Zhang Heng used this battle to fully prove that the two people were not of the same level. A level gladiator, so it’s easy to guess who Marcus is asking now.
Although Gabi was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Heng's previous concealment of his strength, he thought about it and had to say, "His strength is no worse than Sisnates at his peak."
Marcus's eyes suddenly shone when he heard this, but then Gabi reminded him, "But he is more difficult to control than Sisnates. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to fully control him."
"It doesn't matter. Your job is to continuously select talents for the school, and the rest can be left to me." Marcus didn't take it seriously when he heard this. The middle-aged Roman rubbed himself with his index finger. emerald ring, and said proudly, "Human beings will have weaknesses, money, beauty, honor, freedom... The key to interacting with people is to grasp what they want, and you are not as good as me at this point."
"How can I compare with you, my master." Gabi bowed and said respectfully.
"Wait until the show, no, bring him to see me after this battle is over." After speaking, Marcus stood up directly. Obviously he didn't intend to watch any more. His mind was now full of how to package Zhang Heng and bring him to see him. The latter had ascended to the new throne, and the subsequent performances were extremely boring to him, so he simply left.
On the other side, the carnival was still going on. A slave girl was holding a plate and going around the arena. People were throwing gifts for the gladiators into the plate. Most of the gifts were coins. In addition, some were filled with coins. Loving feminine products.
Zhang Heng waved to the audience and thanked him. He didn't know if it was his misunderstanding. He always felt that there was a hostile look towards him in the crowd. However, when he looked towards that place, he only saw a strict man wrapping himself up. A solid back view.
