Zhang Heng walked out of the crowd and took the wooden weapon handed by the trainer.

The eyes of everyone present were suddenly 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 battles, the newcomers are still not as good as those full-fledged gladiators.

If Griff is a loss, then Gallata is a fiasco, the current newcomer side is 0-2 down, and the atmosphere on the newcomer's side has become more tense after seeing Gerlata's downfall.

And the battle to be carried out, Zhang Heng is still not favored side, except for a fight with Bach, he has almost nothing to leave any special impression on others, his performance in training is decent, and it is only average among the newcomers, not inconspicuous, on the other hand, his opponent Galba is a veteran gladiator.

Not only is he old, but he is also very old.

He became a gladiator at the age of twenty-eight and worked for nine years, considering that the average age of a gladiator was only 25, Galba's career was definitely a miracle, and his situation was somewhat similar to that of Varro, who became a gladiator to pay off his debts.

He did this as early as his third year as a gladiator, and then retired for half a year, but returned to the arena for personal reasons after half a year, and has been doing it ever since.

In the past nine years, he has witnessed the rise and fall of countless heroes, and has also witnessed the legend of Sisnatus, as for himself, there are not many examples to praise, but with his conscientious work attitude and long standby time, he has also accumulated a fixed audience.

And he himself is known as the evergreen tree of Victor Arena, and the question of when Garba will hang up or retire has always been one of the enduring hot topics in Victor Arena, and some people have even made a bet specifically for this.

Garba and Zhang Heng came on stage together, and he smiled at Zhang Heng friendly, but Zhang Heng also returned the salute politely.

Garbario was a little surprised, he saw the performance of the two newcomers before, and he himself came from the newcomer, knowing the importance of the final assessment for the newcomer, nervousness was inevitable, but he couldn't see any emotions that a newcomer should have in Zhang Heng's eyes, in fact, he couldn't see anything in Zhang Heng's eyes.

The latter's eyes are as deep and calm as the starry sky at night.

Garba didn't have time to think too much about it, as the trainer acting as a referee had already made the gesture for the start of the fight.

Zhang Heng did not make the mistake of Galata, he took the initiative to retreat without a fight, and he did not put on a defensive posture like Griff, but took the initiative to approach Galba at the beginning of the battle, but he did not rush to attack, and stopped when he was about to approach Galba's attack range and turned into a defensive posture.

Gabi nodded secretly when he saw this.

This is the most important choice for a clear-headed rookie gladiator, although the gladiatorial performance is a fight, but its essential attribute is still entertainment performance, a good gladiator should not only pursue victory, but also take into account the preferences of the audience, and even go further, use the preferences of the audience to create conditions for their victory.

On the surface, Zhang Heng and Griff adopt the same fighting strategy, both of them defend first and play steadily, but don't underestimate the two steps he took before, which brought completely different feelings to the audience.

The former was suspected of a passive fight, but the latter kicked the 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 drag his feet, gave up the plan to wait and see Zhang Heng's strength first, and shot directly.

Compared with newcomers, this batch of formal gladiators who assess their opponents actually have a disadvantage, that is, they know far less about their opponents than their opponents know about them, which is also a normal thing, newcomers, except for tomorrow's stars like Bach, are basically not very famous, and there is no previous combat record to check.

Zhang Heng's fighting style, good combat methods, and weaknesses...... Galba didn't know anything about this until the moment before he started, so he was very cautious at the beginning of the fight, and his attacks were mainly tentative.

As an opponent, Zhang Heng also responded with the standard movements taught by the trainer, although there was nothing too eye-catching, but he did not make any mistakes, so Garba began to gradually increase his aggression after the test was ineffective, trying to force Zhang Heng to show his flaws through high-pressure attacks.

This is also the method used by veteran gladiators to deal with newcomers, many newcomers can deal with one move and one style disassembled, but once they are put together, the time to think becomes shorter, and they will start to be scrambling, at this time experienced gladiators can take over the body by their survival instincts, but newcomers cannot.

What's more, Zhang Heng's profession is a double swordsman, this is not a profession that is good at defense, of course, Garba, 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 fighter will be equipped with a half-human-high rectangular shield, which is a profession with strong defense.

And with Garba's rich combat experience, a short sword was enough for him to teach the young man in front of him a good lesson.

Sure enough, when he began to put pressure, Zhang Heng also gave up his defensive position and began to attack him.

So far, the battle between the two has not been exciting, and Makruz on the second floor has seen that he is too lazy to eat figs, but Gabi nodded secretly.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.

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, this kind of thing sounds easier said than done for newcomers.

The previous Griff and Galata are the best examples, and compared to the two, Zhang Heng's opponent is the arena living fossil Garba, who has more combat experience, but Zhang Heng did not completely fall into Garba's fighting rhythm.

Gabi began to take a little interest in this Oriental who he hadn't paid much attention to before, so he also remembered the scene when the two sides first met, and he seemed to have scared the Oriental with a whip, but the other party seemed to know how long the whip was, and he didn't even blink an eye.

A gladiator with extremely good psychological qualities? It's normal that I didn't notice it before, so it seems that maybe you can look forward to it a little? I have 48 hours a day for the latest chapters on the URL:
