Because this was the first teaching between Dadatis and Zhang Heng, it lasted for a long time, until the sky was about to turn white, and some diligent slaves had already got up from the ground and began to prepare breakfast, and then it had to come to an end.

But both on the training ground had a feeling of unfinishedness.

The old trainer not only taught Zhang Heng stealth skills as agreed, but also gave an overview of the assassin's other combat skills by the way, and the Balance Blade still did a good job in this regard, because the people who will join the Balance Blade are basically top assassins, and everyone has a unique skill, even if they are not willing to teach their skills when they are young, they will want to leave something behind when they are old.

The Assassins themselves are people hidden in the shadows of history, and the more successful the Assassins, the less their names will be handed down, but it is precisely because of this that everyone wants to prove that they have been there, and although the Blade of Balance may not have had similar ideas when it was first established, its existence has indeed played a great role in the preservation and development of the traditional craft of assassination.

Dadatis knew what Zhang Heng cared about, and took the initiative to tell the latter that there was a library in the secret residence of the Balance Blade, which only core members could enter, which stored many ancient assassin skills and related deeds, most of which he had not even seen, because everyone's energy was limited, but to say that there was a person who could learn all the skills in it, the old man felt that it was probably Zhang Heng.

Because the latter was the most learning and understanding person he had ever met.

has lv4's sword skills and many dungeons' combat experience, especially Zhang Heng once picked all over Kyoto's large and small dojos in the dungeon of Kyoto at the end of the Bakudo and learned the strengths of various schools, which made him indeed more handy when contacting and learning new combat methods, which others can't compare.

For Zhang Heng, the old trainer opened a new door for him, allowing him to further enrich his arsenal, and at the same time get a first glimpse of another fighting style, from which he has indeed benefited a lot.

Of course, understanding is one thing, training is another, and in the case of the stealth skills that Dadatis is now giving him, there is still a long way to go from understanding to mastering to being able to use it proficiently.

Fortunately, the most important thing Zhang Heng lacks is time.

When the technical lesson was over, the old trainer did not leave in a hurry, and said, "With your skills and brains, I don't know how you ended up in the gladiator school, but judging from your previous performance, I can probably guess what you are thinking, you want to rely on the gladiator performance to quietly obtain the status of a free man, and then leave here, you know that it is not easy to get out of the hands of Makrus if you perform too poorly and perform too well, very smart, but what if I ask you to show your strength?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Don't worry about getting out, we can help you and your friends get out of here as soon as it's over."

"You want me to be more famous?"

"Yes, because I'm going to send you to that gladiatorial show at the Flavi Amphitheater in two months' time."

"There will be a show at the Flavi Amphitheater in two months? How do you know. ”

"As I said before, the Blade of Balance has its own intelligence network, not to mention that this matter is not a secret now, the Senate has been discussing this matter some time ago, and they have already received definite news, the war between the empire and those Germans is over, His Majesty the new emperor is returning to Rome with his army, and in a month and a half at the earliest, the vanguard should arrive, and the enthronement ceremony should be after this, when the Flavi amphitheater will hold a grand gladiator show, Not only the royal gladiators, but also other gladiator schools will choose people to participate. ”

The old trainer paused, and then continued, "Although the subsidy is likely not so satisfactory, it is a matter of honor for each school, and in order to save face for the Senate and the newcomer, His Majesty the Emperor, everyone must send their own best lineup, and the best gladiators in the whole of Rome will come together to compete in front of 90,000 spectators, and the winner will not only bring reputation to himself and his gladiator school, but also be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"I'm just a newcomer, why won't the Victor Arena choose me, even if Gabi doesn't want Bach to appear so early, isn't there still Habitus and other gladiators who have already become famous?"

Zhang Heng had just consulted other gladiators in the afternoon, and he knew a lot more about this line of work than before, and he knew that rookie gladiators might usually have to wait for several months before they had the opportunity to perform on stage for the first time, of course, a potential new star like Bach was a different matter.

In order to quickly get a profit from them, the gladiator school would push them out early, treating them as cash cows, and they would have to participate in performances much more often than ordinary gladiators.

"Don't worry about this, if you don't have any opinions, we'll arrange the rest for you." The old trainer said.

"I have no opinion, you teach me combat skills, and I will do things for you, which is fair." Zhang Hengdao.

Dadatis sighed secretly when he heard this, of course he hoped that Zhang Heng would have a sense of belonging to the Blade of Balance, rather than just looking at things from the perspective of a transaction, but he knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, and in the end he just said, "Get ready, your first battle will come soon." ”

…………

Zhang Heng slipped back to his lodgings before Varro and the other two gladiators woke up, and no one other than the old Persian trainer and himself knew what had happened last night, and after that he had devoted himself to his daily training like the other newcomers.

In addition to the basic training that every gladiator needs to complete, Zhang Heng mainly practiced the things given to him by the old trainer in the targeted training link.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Heng has basically started to get started in terms of stealth footsteps, and now he can reduce the footsteps when walking by half if he wants, he tried to sneak into the kitchen with his newly learned things, and stole some bread out, and was not discovered by the chef who was cooking with him on his back.

On the other hand, the first batch of battle arrangements finally came down, and Gabby finally failed to convince Makruz, who was eager to make money, and could only rush out Bach, who had not yet been fully cultivated, but he still won some initiative in the selection of personnel, and persuaded Makruz not to arrange a quasi-ace-level player to play against Bach as soon as he came up, which would certainly sacrifice some of the audience's attention to Bach, but in exchange for a greater chance of winning. In addition, as is customary, Gabi also needs to select some cannon fodder from the newcomers.
