Satonillos slowed down his attacking rhythm slightly, put more energy into defense, and finally stabilized his position, but soon he discovered another bad news, the opponent's stamina seemed to be stronger than his Excellent, the two have fought hand to hand for so long, but Zhang Heng's breathing rate has basically not changed much, which means that if it really drags on, the situation will become even more unfavorable for him.
Satonillos frowned. He didn't expect that not long after Cisnatus retired, the Victor Arena would produce such a difficult rookie, but since the opponent made the first move, Satonillos If he chooses again, he will still make a shot. After all, there are so many big names present tonight, and he can't back down.
Just as male lions react to other males trespassing on their territory, so do gladiators.
In this world where the weak prey on the strong, no matter how strong you are before, once you show your weak side, you will be torn apart by the swarming hyenas.
And the current situation is only slightly unfavorable to Satonillos. He has fought too many headwinds in his long gladiator career. He has the most scars on his body among all the gladiators present, but since he is still standing Here, those scars have become his glory, telling about those wonderful battles.
So, tonight will be no exception.
Satonillos just got another punch in the mouth, but he also kicked back, and then spat out a bloody tooth and sneered, "Why, is this all you can do?"
Zhang Heng also got up from the ground. He could have dodged this kick, but after calculating the exchange of damage, he was better off. Therefore, Zhang Heng finally chose to fight head-on. Of course, the bigger reason was that He knows what the audience likes. Although blindly dodging can better reflect his strength, it is not as eye-catching as this punch-to-fist, blood-for-blood style of play.
On this point, the audience's aesthetics have been similar for thousands of years. No matter what kind of competitive competition, everyone is always more inclined to appreciate "tough guys".
Winning Satonillos is not the goal. Attracting Commodus' attention is Zhang Heng's real goal. The young emperor is watching it with great interest, and all the guests spontaneously formed a circle, surrounding Zhang Heng and Satonillos. In the middle, Commodus seemed a little reserved at first, but soon took the lead in shouting.
However, he supported Satonillos. After all, he knew the latter before leaving Rome, and Zhang Heng was the first to provoke this time. From the perspective of justice, Zhang Heng naturally has no advantage.
However, with the sound of fists and muscles colliding, Kang Maode's perception of Zhang Heng also improved to a certain extent. He felt that although this oriental man was a bit reckless, he was still a real man, so when Zhang Heng had a wonderful performance Sometimes he will applaud equally.
And this applause fell in the ears of Satornilos is undoubtedly a kind of stimulation, Satornilos knew that he had to make a decision.
As early as a month ago, he and the gladiator school behind him began to prepare for the gladiator performance in the Flavi Amphitheater. For this reason, the gladiator school did not hesitate to let him truce for a month, and lost a lot of money to create his already A debauched image for other gladiator school spies to see.
And Satonillos used this month to heal the hidden wounds accumulated on his body, and adjusted his spirit and body to the best state. Only a few people know that he is better than ever before. Satonillos originally He wants to hide his strength until he meets a strong enemy before he fully reveals it.
But what he didn't expect was that before the wrestling performance started, he was already forced into such a state of embarrassment by an oriental man who came out of nowhere.
So a multiple-choice question was placed in front of Satonillos, whether to use his cards now.
After all, it is not a formal gladiatorial performance now, and if he loses, it will not affect his winning the championship later, but at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor and other heavyweights are here, Satonillos can't imagine that losing this game will give him and What impact does the prestige of the gladiator school have.
Therefore, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to tear off the disguise. Anyway, even if he showed his true strength, he might not be able to win the championship of gladiatorial performances later.
The next moment, he wiped away the blood from his mouth.
The audience next to him might just have a vague feeling that the aura of Satonillos seemed to have changed, and Zhang Heng, the opponent, felt it most intuitively. His expression changed, and he knew that Satonillos was finally cornered, but Zhang Heng Heng, as one of the few people who saw that Satornilos had a disguise, naturally had long been on guard against the opponent's violent attack.
However, Zhang Heng found that he still underestimated the opponent a little bit. Seeing that there was another flaw in Satonillos' chest, Zhang Heng subconsciously punched him, but then Satonillos blocked his fist with one hand.
There was a small exclamation from the crowd.
Zhang Heng tried to shake his hand, but he couldn't retract his fist.
"You seemed to be very happy running up and down like a monkey before, and now it's time for you to taste my fist." Satonillos said while waving his other fist to hit Zhang Heng's head. But the latter dodged it by squatting down, and then Zhang Heng caught Satonillos' arm with his legs before Satonillos swung his second punch.
The two fell to the ground together, accompanied by dust. It is a pity that Zhang Heng has not learned the lock technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, otherwise it would be possible to lock Satonillos in the chaos, but now the two Only to be separated again.
But what Satonilos didn't expect was that Zhang Heng, who was almost controlled just now, would attack again not long after they separated this time. Satonilos wanted to repeat the old trick, but Zhang Heng didn't confront him this time. Fighting against each other, he walked around behind him ghostly with the newly learned assassin's steps.
This change in the rhythm of the battle obviously made Satonillos a little uncomfortable. Afterwards, he felt a cold on his left neck, but fortunately he did not suffer any serious injuries, but a blood mark was scratched by his nails. Satonillos Turning around and preparing to fight again, Zhang Heng took two steps back and said, "Let's stop here today."
Satonillos was startled when he heard the words, what is this, is this oriental man giving up? But the battle is not over yet, he has just started to exert his strength, and the two sides are now at best a tie.
So Satonillos refused without hesitation, "It's still early, you will definitely not have such good luck to escape next time."
But then he heard another voice, "I think what he said makes sense, the two gave us a wonderful performance tonight, but the outcome will be decided in the arena after the gladiator performance." Come out."
