Many years later, the inhabitants of Rome will still remember this day.

Not only because today there was a grand gladiatorial show to celebrate the enthronement of the new emperor of the empire, but also because for the first time they saw an authentic western cowboy bullfight in the Flavi Amphitheater.

This may not have been an unusual pastime in later generations, as the 21st century had long since passed the golden age of Western culture, but in the second century A.D., there was even the same thrill as witnessing a game of Quidditch or seeing a wild Pikachu in a park.

Especially when I saw Zhang Heng narrowly dodging the attacks of the bison again and again, and also performed the wonderful scene of the flying god riding the bull, this exciting bullfighting performance has completely captured the hearts of everyone present, as if there is an invisible hand manipulating the emotions of the audience in the stands, making them sometimes amazed, sometimes worried, and sometimes dancing with the figure in the arena......

His Majesty the Emperor himself is one of them, but it is Makruz who is most worried.

As the owner of Zhang Heng and the owner of the gladiator school, he has been running this business for quite some time, and he has seen thousands of gladiators, but these people together are not as exciting as Zhang Heng alone, and the latter's ability to find trouble has completely exceeded his imagination.

In less than a day, he first provoked the rival of Satonilos for no reason, which gave Makrus a big headache, but it was only half a day later, Zhang Heng put a good gladiator and chose a bison as his opponent, and Makruz was about to collapse when he saw this scene.

He was almost about to shout at Zhang Hengda, can't you honestly take that damn championship, you have to play so many moths, what's the benefit of doing this?!

Zhang Heng is his most valuable asset now, Makrus asked himself, he cherishes Zhang Heng more than his wife and daughter, but the latter doesn't seem to appreciate it at all. Repeatedly challenging his bottom line, Makruz has long been less confident than when he talked to Gabby before, and he began to realize that people like Zhang Heng may never be controlled by anyone, not only him, even Commodus is difficult to domesticate this beast.

So his face was also gloomy, but Makruz now has to rely on Zhang Heng, but once Zhang Heng wins the championship, he will inevitably be more out of his control, which also makes Makruz feel complicated.

After several rounds of confrontation with the bison, Zhang Heng gradually figured out the latter's mode of action, and at the same time had met his expectations in terms of ornamentation, so he decided to prepare to end this battle.

With Zhang Heng's current skills, he actually won't make the process so thrilling, or it should be said that it is precisely because of his current skills that he can make the whole process seem thrilling and not pose any substantial threat to him, just like a deliberately made fight scene in the movie, the purpose is to stimulate the audience's nerves and make the audience feel satisfied.

And the means used by Zhang Heng to finish up also continued this drama, when the bison rushed at him again, he jumped on the back of the ox again, so the bison also jumped up and down again, trying by all means to throw Zhang Heng off the back, and after the conventional means failed, it rushed towards the edge of the arena again.

But this time it didn't get what it wanted, because just when it rubbed against the big net on the side of its body, Zhang Heng on its back had already moved his body to his side, and at the same time firmly grasped its mane and didn't fall off it.

There was a burst of cheers in the stands, and when the bison ran back to the center of the arena, Zhang Heng also freed his hand to successfully put the rope on the bison's head, the more the bison struggled, the tighter the rope became, almost tightening its flesh, so the bison's wheezing sound became louder and louder, although its eyes were full of unwillingness, but in the end it had to give in to the cruel reality and stop.

So Zhang Heng also loosened some rope a little, but then the bison broke out again, struggling and shaking with more intense footsteps, wanting to throw the nasty human on his back away, but unfortunately Zhang Heng had dealt with more of its kind than it had ever seen, and he had long been on guard against it, and after a not so fierce fight, the bison knelt down again, and this time it really knelt down, because Zhang Heng knotted its legs with a rope.

Eventually, the buffalo had no other way to go but to surrender.

And when Zhang Heng got off the back of the ox and received the biggest cheer since the construction of the Flavi Amphitheater, all the audience, including Commodus, stood up, and the sound wave drowned out the entire arena, so that no one except Empress Christina could not even hear what His Majesty the Emperor was saying.

Flowers and copper coins rained down, and this novel and exciting bullfighting was sure to be the most popular talk of the town for some time to come, and those who were lucky enough to witness it had a strong sense of satisfaction that the trip was worth it.

Even because of this performance, Rome in the future had a new entertainment, that is, hand-to-hand bullfighting, but because of the lack of professional training, many heroic slave bullfighters died under the horns, once became the most fatal performance activities, of course, these are later stories.

And the initiator of all this, as in the previous performance, did not stay in the arena for much, and after bowing slightly in the direction of Commodus, he had already turned and walked towards the lounge.

Up to now, Zhang Heng's goal has been overachieved, and I believe that after these battles, Commodus's interest in him has also climbed to the peak, and when the performance is over, the young emperor will definitely come to contact him, and then it will be a matter of how to find the whereabouts of Ottrus.

…………

Unlike the heat outside, there was a deathly silence in the lounge.

The gladiators inside had different expressions, Habitus and Satonilos were not fools, although they couldn't see the process of the bullfight, but from the outrageous cheers outside, they knew that Zhang Heng had completely conquered the Flavi Amphitheater, and now the gladiatorial performance was not even over, they didn't know how Zhang Heng did it.

Of course, the worst thing is the people who will appear later, their limelight has been completely stolen by Zhang Heng, and they don't know what they should do to capture the hearts of the audience, so they seem a little helpless.
