Zhang Heng walked out from the crowd and took the wooden weapon from the trainer.
All eyes on the scene immediately focused on him.
Although after forty-nine days of terrifying and high-intensity training, everyone has improved a lot compared to when they first came to the gladiator school, but judging from the results of the first two rounds of battle, the rookies are still not as good as those official fighters. fighter.
If Griff was narrowly defeated, then Gellata suffered a disastrous defeat. Currently, the rookies are 0-2 behind. In addition, the atmosphere on the rookie side became even more tense after seeing Gellata's end.
As for the upcoming match, Zhang Heng is still not favored. Apart from his fight with Bach, he hardly left any special impression on others. His performance in training was quite satisfactory. Among the newcomers, they were just average and unremarkable. On the other hand, his opponent Galba was a veteran gladiator.
Not only is he old, but his qualifications are also very old.
He only became a gladiator when he was 28 years old, and then he worked for nine years. Considering that the average age of a gladiator is only 25 years old, Galba's career can definitely be called a miracle. His situation is a bit like that of Varo. Similarly, becoming a gladiator in the first place was to pay off the debts owed.
He did this as early as the third year of becoming a gladiator, and then retired for half a year, but returned to the arena due to personal reasons half a year later, and he has been doing it until now.
In the past nine years, he has witnessed the rise and fall of countless heroes, and he has also witnessed the legend of Cisnatus. As for himself, he does not have many battles to praise. The standby time has actually accumulated a regular audience of votes.
And he himself is known as the evergreen tree of the Victor Arena. In addition, when Garba will die or retire has always been one of the enduring hot topics in the Victor Arena. This opened the game.
Galba and Zhang Heng went on stage together, and he gave Zhang Heng a friendly smile, only to see that Zhang Heng also politely returned the salute to him.
Galballo was a little surprised. He had seen the performance of the two newcomers before, and he himself came from a newcomer. He knew the importance of the final assessment for newcomers, and nervousness was inevitable. But from Zhang Heng's eyes, he He couldn't see any emotions that a newcomer should have. In fact, he couldn't see anything from Zhang Heng's eyes.
The eyes of the latter are as deep and calm as the starry sky at night.
Galba didn't have time to think too much, because the trainer who acted as the referee had already made the gesture to start the battle.
Zhang Heng didn't commit Gelata's fault. He took the initiative to retreat before the battle, and he didn't put up a defensive position like Griff. Instead, he actively approached Galba at the beginning of the battle, but he didn't rush to attack. When he was about to approach Galba's attack range, he stopped and turned into a defensive stance.
Seeing this, Gabby nodded secretly.
This is the best choice for a novice gladiator with a clear mind. Although a gladiator performance is a fight, its essence is entertainment performance. An excellent gladiator should not only pursue victory, but also consider the audience's Likes, go even further, use the likes of the audience to create the conditions for your own victory.
On the surface, Zhang Heng and Griff adopted the same fighting strategy, defending first and fighting steadily, but don't underestimate the two steps he took before, which brought completely different feelings to the audience.
The former is suspected of fighting passively, but the latter kicked this tricky ball to the opponent.
Galba, as the oldest gladiator in the Victor Arena, of course realized that he had to attack first at this time, so he didn't hesitate, and gave up his plan to wait and see Zhang Heng's strength first, and shot directly.
Compared with the rookies, this group of official gladiators who are used to assess their opponents actually have a disadvantage, that is, their understanding of their opponents is far less than that of their opponents. Stars are basically not very famous, and there is no record of previous battles to check.
Zhang Heng's fighting style, his proficiency in fighting methods, his weaknesses...Galba didn't know anything about these until the moment before the fight, so he was very cautious at the beginning of the fight, and his attacks were mainly probing.
As the opponent, Zhang Heng also responded with the standard moves taught by the trainer. Although there was nothing too eye-catching, he didn't make any mistakes. Therefore, after the trial failed, Galba also began to gradually increase his aggressiveness, trying to pass the high-pressure method. The attack forced Zhang Heng to show his weakness.
This is also the method used by veteran gladiators to deal with newcomers. Many newcomers can deal with it very well by dismantling each move. The old gladiators can let their survival instincts take over the body, but the rookies can't.
What's more, Zhang Heng's profession is a dual swordsman, which is not a profession that is good at defense. Of course, Galba, as a fish helmet fighter, is not a profession that is good at attacking. Their weapon is only a short sword, but the fish helmet Fighters will be equipped with a half-person-high rectangular shield, which is a profession with strong defensive power.
And with Garba's rich combat experience, a short sword is enough for him to teach the young man in front of him a good lesson.
Sure enough, when he started to apply pressure, Zhang Heng also gave up his defense and started to attack him.
So far, the battle between the two of them is not exciting. Marcruz on the second floor watched so much that he didn't even bother to eat figs, but Gabi nodded secretly.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the way.
In Gabi's eyes, Zhang Heng has not made any mistakes so far, and he has always maintained a calm and clear mind in the face of various situations, which is an extremely rare advantage.
Don't underestimate this, for newcomers this kind of thing sounds easier than it is.
Griff and Galata before are the best examples. Zhang Heng's opponent is Garba, a living fossil in the arena with more combat experience, but Zhang Heng has not completely fallen into Garba's fighting rhythm. go.
Gabi began to have a little interest in this Oriental who he hadn't paid much attention to before, so he also recalled the scene when the two sides met for the first time. He seemed to have frightened this Oriental with a whip, but the other seemed to be Knowing how long the whip is, I didn't even blink an eye.
A gladiator with excellent mental quality? It's normal if I didn't find it before, it seems that maybe I can look forward to it a little bit? My day is 4 o'clock and the latest chapters come to the URL:
