Chapter 805 Conspiracy
Commodus felt much better physically and mentally after the battle. After that, he changed into Zhang Heng's clothes and left the gladiator school at night.
Zhang Heng watched his figure disappear, then turned around and walked back into the house, only to find the little slave girl lying on the crack of the door peeking over.
Probably because they are familiar with each other, the little slave girl is now more relaxed. She is not as restrained as when they first met. She did not blush when caught, but instead looked curious.
"Wow, is the person who came just now really His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Don't you have the copper coins he gave you?" Zhang Heng said.
"Well, well, I looked at it again. The picture above looks very similar to him." The little slave girl nodded, "I just can't believe it. Even His Majesty the Emperor came to see you. How famous are you now?" Ah, have you caught up with Sisnatus?"
"Not yet," Zhang Heng said, "Sisnates has accumulated a reputation over the years."
The little slave girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She knew that Marcus attaches great importance to valuable ace gladiators. If Zhang Heng becomes famous again, maybe Marcus will send more slave girls to him. Then maybe she will He will be sent to serve other gladiators.
However, she was not happy for a long time when she heard Zhang Heng add, "If I win this gladiatorial performance, my popularity should surpass Sisnates."
"Ah?" The little slave girl almost jumped up in fright, "So fast?!"
"Well, after all, it's in the Flavi Amphitheater. With a large enough audience, it will spread faster." Zhang Heng said, "What's wrong? What can I do for you?"
"No, no..." The little slave girl quickly shook her head in denial. Of course, she did not dare to tell her little thoughts.
Zhang Heng did not ask any more questions, but just warned, "We can just be casual together. In the future, when other people come to visit, you better not peek in or take it seriously. Some people's identities are You are very sensitive, especially those big shots, and even a few words may lead to your death."
"Is it so scary?" The little slave girl didn't know why, and felt a little sour in her heart. She obviously didn't want Zhang Heng to know her true thoughts, but seeing that the other party really didn't care about her, she felt very disappointed.
Maybe in the eyes of the other party, there is no difference between her and other female slaves. Even if she is replaced one day, someone probably won't notice.
The little slave girl thought this, while Zhang Heng on the other side had already gone to fetch water. He simply took a cold shower to wash off the sweat on his body, and then went to bed early because there was a gladiatorial performance the next day.
…………
Compared with the first day, the atmosphere of the arena on the second day was obviously different.
Even Sartonilus, the giant Telephilos, and the Thracian Danaos, who were in the limelight on the first day, could feel that the audience's enthusiasm for them had decreased a lot. After last night, they all knew about Zhang Heng. What happened to those two earth-shattering battles?
Asking themselves, they all knew that they couldn't do what Zhang Heng did, so forget about the quick victory in the first battle. Especially in the second battle, Zhang Heng surrendered a bison with his bare hands. In their opinion, this was simply unbelievable. Even the proudest Sartonilos can feel a strong sense of crisis.
Zhang Heng has obviously become the biggest obstacle on their way to winning the championship, which can also be seen from the former's odds that are already at the top of the list.
This oriental man single-handedly turned what was supposed to be a star-studded gladiatorial show into a one-man show, so it was naturally difficult for other gladiators to have a good impression of Zhang Heng.
The only exception among them is probably Bach, who has already deeply experienced Zhang Heng's prowess.
Perhaps because he had accepted the fact that he was no match for Zhang Heng, the German was not far behind. He came out of the training room and shouted at Zhang Heng, "I heard that some guys want to join forces to deal with you. You'd better be careful." point."
"Really?" Zhang Heng raised his eyelids and glanced at Habitus and others on the other side.
It stands to reason that they are all people from Victor Arena. If something happens, at least they should be on the same front. However, it seems that is not the case now. Zhang Heng saw Habitus being killed by a The gladiator called out and came back later. He obviously knew that a conspiracy against Zhang Heng was taking shape, but he did not remind Zhang Heng like Bach did. It was even very likely that he himself was involved.
However, Zhang Heng didn't pay much attention to this.
Many things are difficult to have both ways. Since he wants to show his strength to arouse Commodus' interest, he will naturally think of the threat to other gladiators. Fortunately, Zhang Heng is also confident enough in his own strength. Now he has and just When they entered the dungeon, they were two completely different people.
At that time, he might have considered what methods he should take to reduce the hostility of other gladiators towards him, but now even if Zhang Heng knew that Sartonilos and others wanted to join forces to deal with him, there was no need to take any action.
The reason is simple, because he is already strong enough now.
Because of the extra 24 hours on his body and the amplification of the time flow, Zhang Heng's growth rate has already exceeded the difficulty of the increasing copy. In fact, the ordinary copy after the leaker's copy is no longer dangerous to Zhang Heng. He is also more comfortable in dungeons and can focus on learning new skills, like when he chose to join the Blade of Balance.
Of course Zhang Heng knew the risks of walking as an assassin, but after weighing the risks, he decided to take the risks. This was due to his confidence in his own strength.
The same is true now. Due to the rules, the final melee can only be one-on-one. No small moves can change this. But with the lv4 sword skills and the newly learned assassin's steps, Zhang Heng can't I wonder who else will be his opponent.
This was also evident in the gladiatorial performance on the second day.
Zhang Heng's two battles were equally clean and tidy. No matter what strategy his opponent adopted, he felt the same despair and helplessness under his two Persian swords. Especially as soon as he appeared on the stage, the entire audience was The rhythmic shouting of his name brought an unparalleled sense of oppression to his opponents.
Those who can stand in the Flavi Arena are also stars in their respective gladiator schools. Only the audience has always cheered for them. They have rarely seen themselves become villains. What is even more difficult is that they have completely earned their reputation. not coming back.
I recommend the new book "Escape for Your Life, Author" by Master Xia Hua. It is now 170,000 words long and is ready to be read. This is a great devil from another world who escaped from the novel and asked the protagonist to modify his attributes. In the end, he was tamed by love and justice. Story~
