After the battle, Kang Maode felt much better physically and mentally. After that, he changed into Zhang Heng's quick clothes and left the gladiator school in the dark.
But Zhang Heng watched his back disappear, then turned around and walked back into the house, only to find the little slave girl lying on the crack of the door and peeking this way.
Probably because of getting acquainted, the little slave girl has relaxed a lot now, not as stiff as when they first met, she didn't blush when she was caught, but asked curiously.
"Wow, is the person who came just now really His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Don't you have the copper coin he gave you?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Hmm, I looked again, and the profile picture on it looks quite similar to him." The little slave girl nodded and said, "I just can't believe it, even His Majesty the Emperor has come to see you, how famous are you now? Ah, caught up with Cithnatus?"
"Not yet," Zhang Heng said, "Cisnatus has accumulated a reputation for several years."
The little female slave was relieved when she heard the words. She knew that Marcruz attached great importance to valuable ace gladiators. If Zhang Heng became famous again, maybe Marcruz would send him more female slaves. To be sent to serve other gladiators.
However, before she was happy for a long time, she heard Zhang Heng then add, "Those champions of this gladiatorial performance, my popularity should surpass that of Cisnatus."
"Ah?" The little slave girl almost jumped up in fright, "So fast?!"
"Well, after all, it's in the Flavi Amphitheater. If there are enough audiences, it will spread faster." Zhang Heng said, "What's wrong? Do you have anything to do?"
"No, no..." The little female slave quickly shook her head and denied, of course she didn't dare to express her petty thoughts.
And Zhang Heng didn't ask any more questions, just reminded, "It's okay for us to be casual when we are together. In the future, when you meet other people visiting, you should stop peeking, and don't take it seriously. Some people's identities Very sensitive, especially those big people, maybe just hearing a few words may bring you death."
"Is it so scary?" The little female slave didn't know why, and felt a little sore 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.
Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, she is no different from other female slaves. Even if she is replaced one day, someone will probably not notice it.
The little female slave thought so, while Zhang Heng on the other side had already gone to fetch water by himself. He simply took a cold shower to wash off the sweat on his body, and then went to bed early, because there would be a wrestling performance the next day.
...
Compared with the first day, the atmosphere in the arena was obviously different on the second day.
Even Satonilos, the giant Theryphilos, and the Thracian Danaus, who made a big splash on the first day, could feel that the audience's enthusiasm for them had decreased a lot, and after last night they all knew that Zhang Heng What happened to the two earth-shattering battles
Ask themselves, they all know that they can't do what Zhang Heng did, and the quick victory in the first battle is fine, especially in the second battle when Zhang Heng subdued a bison with his bare hands. Things, even the proudest Satonillos 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 odds that the former is already at the top of the list.
This orientalist turned what was supposed to be a star-studded gladiatorial performance into a one-man show by himself, so it was naturally difficult for other gladiators to have a good impression of Zhang Heng.
The only exception to this is probably Bach, who has already experienced Zhang Heng's strength before.
It may be because he has accepted the fact that he is not Zhang Heng's opponent, but the German is not far behind. He came out of the training room and yelled at Zhang Heng, "I heard that some guys want to join forces to deal with you. You better be careful!" point."
"Really?" Zhang Heng raised his eyelids and looked at Habitus and others on the other side.
It stands to reason that they are all people from the Victor Arena. If something really happened, at least they should be on the same front, but it seems that this 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 didn't remind Zhang Heng like Bach did, and it was even possible that he himself was involved in it.
But Zhang Heng didn't pay much attention to it.
Many things are difficult to have both. Since he wants to show his strength to arouse Commodus's interest, he will naturally think of the threat to other gladiators. Fortunately, Zhang Heng is also confident enough in his own strength. When entering the dungeon, they were two completely different people.
At that time, he might have to consider what measures to take to reduce the hostility of other gladiators towards him, but now even if Zhang Heng knew that Satonillos and others wanted to join forces to deal with him, he didn't need to take any action.
The reason is very simple, because he is already strong enough now.
Because of the extra 24 hours on his body, Zhang Heng's growth rate has already surpassed the difficulty of increasing the dungeon after the time flow rate is enlarged. In fact, the normal dungeon after the leaker's dungeon is no longer dangerous to Zhang Heng. He is also more comfortable in the dungeon, and can focus on learning new skills, as he chose to join the Balance Blade.
Of course Zhang Heng knew the risks of walking as an assassin, but after weighing the risks, he decided to take the risks, which was due to his confidence in his own strength.
It's the same now, limited by the rules, the final melee can only be one-on-one, this point can't be changed by any small moves, and with the lv4 knife technique, coupled with the newly learned assassin's footsteps, Zhang Heng can't help it. Think who else will be his opponent.
And this was evident in the gladiatorial performance on the second day.
Zhang Heng's two battles were also equally clean and neat. No matter what strategy his opponent adopted, he was equally hopeless and helpless under his two Persian swords. Shouting his name rhythmically, the sense of oppression brought to his opponent is also unparalleled.
People who can stand in the Flavi Arena are also stars in their respective gladiator schools. Only the audience has ever cheered for them, and they have rarely seen themselves become villains. not coming back.
