Chapter 30: Family Changes, Time Flies
Early the next morning, Li Siwu dragged his tattered body to the training ground again with a hideous scar that ran through his entire face, and was not appreciated and recognized by anyone.
There is nothing surprising about his behavior of being seriously injured and not leaving the line of fire, which can be seen everywhere in this world.
Like him, Sun Hongtu and Lu Zhi, who performed well in yesterday's battle, were also not recognized by anyone, and in the case of the Battitas family, they were slaves of casual bullying until they completed the final trial to become a gladiator and become their brother.
With Li Siwu's current physical condition, not to mention continuing to fight against Onomamus, even Fang Mu can no longer bear it, so the only thing he can do now is to face the wooden stake alone to verify all the things he has learned and comprehended before the drill memory.
Swing each sword as hard as you can within the limits of your body's tolerance, repeat every movement again and again, and keep it imprinted in your body as much as possible, and finally become an instinct.
The days passed quietly, and every morning was a huge test of willpower for Li Siwu, his body frantically warned him that he must be kind to himself, but every time he would fail miserably, under the unyielding and infinite desire to become stronger in his mind.
Another reason is that Li Siwu really doesn't know if he can get back up after resting once he compromises his body and chooses to rest temporarily.
So he has to stick with it no matter what, and he believes that if he can successfully complete the first main quest, then everything will be different!
Day after day, the seemingly never-ending rigor of training for newcomers is so tedious and painful, and for gladiators there is one arena after another on top of this pain.
The status of the Batitas family in Capua is indeed not high, but it is not as low as imagined, but whenever the arena starts, almost all the gladiators of the Batitas family will be invited to perform, and what makes Quintus always sullen is that the gladiators can participate in the competition is really just a performance, and can only be used as a foil for Vitius to earn a little money that no one looks at!
Regardless of whether Quintus is satisfied or not, there will be an arena gladiatorial match at the end of the three days, and the gladiators of the Batitas family will easily go out and come back, so it depends on the will of God.
There are those who die, there are those who survive, and leaving here and going to the arena to participate in the life-and-death competition is a good thing that every gladiator dreams of.
To them, it seems that their life and death are not even worth a dinar, and all they care about is whether they can set foot in that sacred killing land, and whether they can use their strength to win the cheers and screams of the audience.
This kind of distorted outlook on life that modern people can't understand and can't adapt to in their whole lives is also not important to Li Siwu and them, they are just a passerby in this world, they are just slaves who are not even as good as ordinary people here, so even if they are dissatisfied, they have no ability to change anything.
All they have to do is to become stronger, stronger, and stronger, and then complete a series of main quests to get rewards, so that their strength can grow by leaps and bounds, and return to the real world to complete the dreams and wishes that they could not complete in their previous lives.
Three days after the last rookie contest, another newcomer suddenly appeared in the arena of Batitas, a slave that Quintus was said to have bought back for a very high price for a full fifty dinars in order to curry favor with Tullius, the richest and most powerful merchant in Capua.
Needless to say, the treatment of newcomers here, this Gallic hunk who was completely brainwashed by servility, the moment he arrived here, showed the resignation and perverted sense of honor of most slaves, and completely linked himself to the Battitas family.
It is commendable that this man named Kress is really strong, he is as cruel to himself as he is to an enemy, he is simply terrible to train, and his character of never bowing his head and admitting defeat is also very similar to Li Siwu.
In addition to the appearance of Kress, there were a series of other things that happened during this time, the most terrible thing was that Quintus's mood was becoming less and less beautiful, which caused the gladiators' life to be relatively sad, especially Li Siwu and their newcomers.
One of the most unfortunate is the weakest of all the newcomers, the Syrian Nda, who was in an unhappy mood for throwing a double finger at his opponent and conceding defeat, an act that he could see on the training ground a day for not knowing how many times a day, and he will soon be sent to the mine to spend the rest of his life in that dark hole.
However, just when everyone thought that the unfortunate boy was dead, it suddenly took a very dramatic turn, and when he and two other Syrians were called away by the scarred and miserable-looking Quintus, Enda never returned.
Most people may think that Enda has been sent to a certain mining area by his master, but Li Siwu saw some obvious signs from it, in his opinion, the unlucky child may have died in a corner, and the culprit should be the increasingly irritable Quintus!
He wanted to use the current opportunity to give advice to Quintus in order to get the other party's attention, but after seeing the treatment that Ashur was treated after completing the mission, he had to give up this idea that seemed very tempting on the surface, but it was actually useless at all.
The biggest event that took place during this period was not the above, but the change of dynasty of the gladiator instructors of the Battitas family.
As a confidant of the old patriarch, Docot forgot his identity and status because he was too self-controlled, and repeatedly argued with Quintus, and finally tasted the consequences, and was ousted by Quintus in a fit of rage, and Onomamus took over as his coach.
Li Siwu still clearly remembers the situation that night, when Docott angrily pressed two pieces of burning red iron on the right arm of Ashur and Digan, who had been branded by their brothers in advance before the final trial, because of Honoramos's words, the two of them fought actively and passively.
One is the strongest and most heartfelt gladiator of the previous generation of the family coach Batitas family, and the other is the legend of the contemporary gladiator, which can be called the first person, the scene of these two people standing together is inevitable, but it is also a real eye-opening for Li Siwu, who has no ability to stop him.
Now he finally used his own eyes to witness what is called a duel between the strong, and the picture of life or death has been staged countless times in just a few minutes.
It doesn't matter how long he can hold out if he plays against either of them, because no matter what, he's going to end up with one - death!
