Volume III Spartacus Chapter 31 The Crisis Again

Then the iron gate of the venue opened again, and a strong, well-dressed gladiator walked into the arena with a strong stride and a steady head held high.

After entering the field, he bowed to the grandstand around the circle and made a noble salute, while holding out his finger to Jin Zhan and issuing his formal challenge with the characteristic gesture of a gladiator.

Because of the martial arts in Capua, people have a special respect for the profession of gladiator, even worship.

Therefore, as a prisoner of war or a death row prisoner, Jin Zhan was invited to challenge by a gladiator, which can be said to have won a great honor and gave him enough respect.

In this way, the audience's mood reversed again, and they generally felt that even if they were favored by the gods, they were only a death row prisoner before. To be able to enjoy this glorious battle, I am sure that the gods will never have any objections.

Therefore, the crowd regained their strong interest in watching the show, and the cheers began to resound like a tsunami.

Where can Jin Zhan understand their language, he has encountered so many changes when he just entered this world today, but he is used to it.

What to do? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. He was able to confront and subdue the king of beasts, let alone a relatively strong gladiator.

But it didn't take long for Jin Zhan to feel ridiculous about his idea. Due to the strength he showed when he chased the giant tiger before, many guards actually set up a small ring in the center of the field.

After the fence around him was erected, Jin Zhan lost his greatest advantage. In a small space, no matter how flexible he is, how can he completely dodge for a long time without confronting the other side head-on?

Jin Zhan has repeatedly scolded and slandered the managers of this arena in his heart. But there was no choice but to accept this kind of head-to-head battle that he had never felt before.

At this time, he was extremely nostalgic for the many clones in the previous world, and at this time, even if one person was present, he was several times more sure that he would be able to defeat the enemy in front of him. Now it is really difficult for a strong man to let him fight with his main body and face the blade in his hand.

However, Jin Zhan has enjoyed the most important courtesy since coming to this world. A group of guards with a variety of weapons and armor left him to choose.

Compared to the rusty weapons that were given to them at the beginning, this batch of weapons is not unsophisticated, not sharp, and the armor is not unthick.

But the bitterness in his heart became more and more intense, how could his weak body wear such heavy armor and hold such a strong weapon. This generous courtesy only hastened the pace of his death.

What to do? I can't escape this test now. And the sharp gaze of the confident and high-spirited gladiator on the other side swept towards him from time to time, which made him feel that he had no fighting spirit at all.

For a while, Jin Zhan couldn't think of any effective countermeasures at all. This is not so passive in the face of the giant tiger, at least he still has a special body to rely on, and there is still a wide space for him to dodge.

The other party very generously proposed to let Jin Zhan rest for half an hour. This also won the applause of the audience, although Jin Zhan could not understand their language, but after a while he knew that he had been given another break, and some food and water.

This is a crucial time for him, as he can get enough rest to regain some stamina, and at the same time he can carefully study his opponent's flaws to find some life.

Jin Zhan struggled to recall all the fight-related memories that Natasha had given him before she left. But no matter how many skills you have, you can't get around a sentence of one force to ten benefits.

This sentence highly sums up that after having a crushing advantage in strength, no matter how many skills you have, it is a floating cloud. The opponent's strength obviously has a complete crushing advantage over himself, so if he wants to defeat the strong with the weak, he must be taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, and at the same time, the enemy needs to show obvious flaws to have the possibility of a battle.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhan searched his memories again. According to Natasha, the most vulnerable parts of the human body are the temples, the back of the head, the major arteries in the body, and the five senses.

Once an effective blow is inflicted on these places, it can more or less quickly and exponentially inflict damage on the enemy, and even make him lose his combat effectiveness instantly.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhan's eyes began to focus on his opponent, full of expectations that the opponent would behave more disappreckly and underestimate the enemy. After all, the other party's muscular body is so strong that there should always be some carelessness to deal with such a thin person as himself.

However, to the astonishing disappointment, the gladiators on the opposite side seemed to be seriously armed as if they were facing a great enemy.

While Jin Zhan was still studying the back of its head and temples, the other party was already wearing a heavy metal helmet.

When Jin Zhan focused his eyes on the arteries of his limbs, the other party methodically put on wrist guards on his gloves, put on leather armor on his body, and protected his thighs by the way.

As Jin Zhan's gaze moved downward, he found that the other party was wearing heavy combat boots, and even his calves and ankles were all tightly protected.

This series of performances made Jin Zhan hold back his bitterness, and the other party's lion and rabbit had to do his best. How maddening is that? How much hatred do you have with yourself? Don't want to give yourself a chance to turn around?

However, in despair, Jin Zhan finally saw a trace of satisfaction for him, that is, when the cautious and prepared gladiator showed a trace of disdain for himself when he was inadvertently in the depths of his eyes.

This emotion made Jin Zhan feel a little comforted, after all, as long as there was such an arrogant and contemptuous emotion, it would more or less reveal some flaws and become Jin Zhan's lifesaver.

For the rest of the break, Jin Zhan once again completely enveloped the gladiators who challenged him.

The opponent's calm, even, and long breathing, coupled with the unchaotic rhythm of the flat veins, all show that the opponent can be said to have no fluctuations in his heart for this fight. There is even a kind of casual chic that wants to hurry up and go home for dinner.

Half an hour was long enough for Jin Zhan, and countless battle plans had been repeatedly deduced and calculated in his brain.

However, to his disappointment, based on the approximate battle statistics on both sides and the small field, even if he took into account all the strengths he could play, there was no way to defeat the enemy.

As the time approached, the audience in the venue gradually began to become restless.

Finally, when the bell on the edge of the ring rang, the gladiator also opened his eyes instantly, and two brilliant lights shot out of his eyes, looking at Jin Zhan with a smile, and his right hand stretched out in front of him or made a gesture of please.

Jin Zhan straightened out the equipment in his hands without hesitation, and the gladiator was obviously a little angry and embarrassed by Jin Zhan's rude behavior. However, he remained surprisingly calm and polite until the two sides officially took the stage.

The moment the arena organizers announced the start of the match, the gladiator threw all the previous etiquette, respect, and peace out of the clouds.

Jin Zhan read indifference, anger and disdain in his eyes, and sure enough, his previous performances were all acting. In his heart, Jin Zhan, a death row prisoner who relied on luck to survive, actually asked him, a noble gladiator of Capua, to deign to challenge him, which was undoubtedly a great shame in vain.

That is, it was because the Archon Lord had told him to be cautious and to take down this strange young man as soon as possible, that he had the previous move.

Now that he had fully carried out his previous performance task according to the orders of the Archon, he was now on the arena to quickly kill his opponent and relieve the hatred in his heart.

With a roar, the gladiator quickly stepped forward, catapulting his heavy body towards Jin Zhan at an alarming speed. The quaint gladiator sword in his hand pointed directly at Jin Zhan, invincible.

This blow contained his anger, and it struck in an instant with the power of thunder, and it was bound to complete the blow with one blow, wash away his humiliation as quickly as possible, and then walk away.

But his courageous attack style of moving forward and leaving no way back obviously exposed many flaws in his body's defense.

Jin Zhan also began to make his body move slowly the moment he activated, and at the same time, he also began to build and analyze the movement model of the gladiator in his brain.

Jin Zhan naturally wanted to see the opponent's indomitable attack posture, because if the opponent was steadily and steadily approaching him step by step, he would have no chance at all.

The gladiator thought that under his attack at this rate, Jin Zhan must have been unavoidable and had to confront him head-on, but who expected that Jin Zhan had gradually entered the Ling Bo microstep at this time.

It's a pity that this gladiator didn't see Jin Zhan's performance when he faced the giant tiger, otherwise he wouldn't be so big now.

Obviously, when the sword that was determined to win slashed at Jin Zhan's body, he found that what he slashed was nothing more than the afterimage of Jin Zhan's body.

Jin Zhan's body actually dodged his attack with a sideways drifting style. At the same time, without any delay, he turned around and struck his short knife on his steel helmet.

At the same time that Fang Cai swept the afterimage of Jin Zhan with a sword, because he was too desperate to throw himself into the attack of that sword, he ignored the follow-up defense methods, and when this sword was cut into the air, the whole person lost the effective control of the center of gravity of the body, leaving Jin Zhan with a big window of flaws.

Just when he was extremely sorry and worried in his heart, he found that his opponent was like a fighting idiot, not attacking his bare upper arms, calves, waist and abdomen, but hitting his own head protected under thick armor.

What's the difference between this and scratching your boots?
