At this time, there is only one wrestling lever left in the center of the Hercules Arena, and the bracket in the middle of the lever is an alchemy device specially developed for the game, which can be firmly attached to the ground once it is activated, and will not uproot the entire competition props because of wrestling.

Luke and Cato the Barbarian walked into the ring together, and stood at each end of the lever.

The referee of the match was a barbarian with a red starting flag in his hand and a bone whistle in his mouth. He first checked the physical condition of the two contestants to make sure that they were not using any magic or skills, and that they were not wearing alchemy items that would affect the fairness of the competition.

After checking Cato, the referee also gave him a few words of encouragement.

The fact that humanity has entered the final arena is something that has never happened since the Hercules Arena was built. The vast majority of barbarians do not want humans to take away the honor that belongs to the barbarian, let alone to win the victory.

The referee saw from experience that Cato was a very powerful barbarian, and the task of preventing the humans from advancing up was entrusted to him.

Race preparation.

Luke and Cato each put one end of the lever on their shoulders, and due to his height, Luke's side has a low leverage and has an inherent disadvantage. But Cato sensed this unfairness and did not hesitate to lower his height and put himself on par with Luke.

"This kind of height will affect your strength." Luke reminded.

Cato said confidently: "But I'm going to win the game in the end." ”

"Hahaha...... If I win, I'll give you a drink. ”

"Good!"

At this time, the referee blew the bone whistle, waved the starting flag, and the game began, and Luke and Cato worked at the same time.

The lever did not move.

This was the first time Luke had faced an opponent who was evenly matched in terms of strength, and it was after a series of strength trainings. The downforce on his shoulders was so great that Luke was able to exert all his strength to keep the lever from tilting to his side.

Looking at Cato again, he was in the same situation as Luke. In order to win the race, he exerted all his strength as soon as he came up, and the muscles in his body swelled, making his body look a full lap larger than it had just been.

The bustling arena became quiet at this moment, and everyone held their breath and stared at the pointer erected in the middle of the lever.

Will the race of human strongmen end here?

Luke's special status made the audience feel more worried than watching any game.

The stalemate lasted about a minute, and the hands finally moved. It drifted towards Cato the Barbarian, and as Cato tried his best to regain the disadvantage, he couldn't lift the lever back on his shoulder.

Deafening cheers erupted from the stands of the arena, and the human crowd shouted Luke's name.

Not only did this human Hercules make it to the finals in the Hercules Arena in the Holy Mountain, but he also defeated a barbarian opponent in the finals.

Although the game is not over yet, the human audience is convinced that Luke has won the game.

Luke didn't disappoint his supporters either, and he maintained his advantage, steadily raising his leverage little by little. As the offset pointer crossed the red line on the Cato side, the referee waved the flag and announced the end of the match.

"Congratulations to Luke, the human Hercules, on winning this match."

The atmosphere in the arena was pushed to a climax again, although there were many fewer humans who came to watch the game than the barbarians, but this time the humans forcibly turned the arena into their home field.

The human magnates under the blue wolf statue are also extremely excited, the Duke of Celtic is gradually relying on humans, and now there is another human Hercules, does it mean the rise of humans in the Tedgar Hills?

He only needs to win one more game to win!

This is an absolute honor for the humans of the Tedgar Hills.

Instead of celebrating with the audience, Luke walked over to Cato, who was sitting on the ground, and reached out to pull him up.

Cato was in a very depressed mood.

With the hope of the tribe, he was eliminated as soon as he entered the finals.

If you don't get the winning prize, you won't have a bonus, so do you just go back to the tribe empty-handed?

Luke knew why Cato was distressed, he pulled Cato to the sidelines, and comforted: "You have a lot of strength, and you lost to me completely because of the weakness of the successor, did you not eat at noon?" ”

As if to confirm Luke's suspicions, Cato's stomach squealed cooperatively.

Cato replied embarrassedly, "Yes, but only a piece of toasted brown bread." ”

Luke walks to the sidelines and asks for food from the boulder barbarians. The boulder barbarians took out the snacks they had brought with them, wrapped them into a large bag and threw them to Luke.

Luke returned to Cato with the food, and the two sat on the floor.

"Eat something first, I'll treat you to a drink in the evening."

"Thank you, thank you, human." Cato was really hungry, whether it was pasta or meat, and he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"If you don't win, do you have any plans?" Luke asked Cato.

Speaking of sadness, Cato stopped eating and said helplessly, "I don't know. The elder said that with my strength, I would definitely be able to win the victory in the Holy Mountain Hercules Arena, and the elder had won here many times and returned to the tribe with the prize.

I have failed the hopes of the elders and the tribe for me, and I don't know how to go back without the prize. ”

"Would you like to work for me? Can I pay you a salary more than the winning bonus? "Luke is starting to kidnap people.

Hearing that there was more money than the winning prize, Cato immediately asked, "How much?" ”

Luke said: "The prize for winning the Holy Mountain Hercules Championship is 100,000 Reichsmarks, and I will give you 150,000 Reichsmarks." ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand!" Kato was shocked by this number and mentally calculated how much food he could buy for the tribe.

"It's 150,000...... And the salary is paid every month. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that Cato couldn't react, Luke explained: "There is a rule in the Holy Mountain Hercules Arena that Hercules who wins the Hercules competition is not allowed to participate in the competition for one year.

In other words, even if you win every time, you will only get 100,000 in prize money a year.

But for me, you can get a salary of 150,000 a month.

I say that, can you understand? ”

"Understood!" Cato nodded dumbly and asked again, "Do you really give me so much money every month?" I...... I don't know anything but strength, and I can't match you. ”

"You can't learn, I can teach you whatever you want. Don't worry, I won't lie to you, since I pay you so much money, it means that you are worth so much money.

Consider considering, for not working for me? ”

"I work for you, human."

"Call me Mr. Luke."

"Yes, Mr. Luke."

Luke is happy to find a treasure.

With the brute strength that can compete with himself alone, Cato the Barbarian has a four-star base.

Today's Cato is a highly gifted seedling, and as long as it is properly cultivated and watered, it will surely grow into a pillar of talent. Luke had already mentally developed a training plan for Cato, based on the player's summary of the Storm Barbarian training template.

Cato, who found a long-term meal ticket, was also very happy to eat and drink.

The Hercules race continues.

Soon Luke had a second wrestling.

As long as he wins this one, he will finish in the top 10 and win. For the human audience, Luke was happy to win. After all, at the end of the game, the rest were well-known barbarian Hercules, they all received professional training, and their strength was not comparable to that of a barbarian boy from an unknown mountain.

The human audience is hoping that Luke will be lucky enough to be assigned to a weaker opponent. But no luck was over, and Luke was about to face a well-known barbarian Hercules, whose best result in the Hercules race was second place.

It was as if the human spectators, who knew the outcome of the game, wailed that Luke had not won.

However, it is already a high honor for human Hercules to make it to the finals and win one.

The game begins.

The scenario in which Luke was expected to be quickly defeated did not materialize.

The leverage is steady, the pointer does not move!

The human audience was immediately seen and excited, and the whole audience chanted the name "Luke" in unison.

At this time, Luke was extremely puzzled in his heart...... Is that the strength of the Hercules, who was once capable of competing for the championship, is that?

Although the pressure on his shoulders was heavy, there was no feeling that Cato gave himself the feeling that he had to give it his all.

Looking at the opponent again, the unusually strong barbarian seemed to have really used all his strength.

It seems that I really picked up the treasure this time.

Luke attacked, and the pointer immediately shifted. The cries in the audience were even louder, and some people were so excited that they even fainted on the spot.

Humans could have more power than barbarians!

Luke didn't let the match go in the air and overwhelmed his opponent in one go.

The referee announced: "Luke, the human Hercules, wins." ”

Then came victory after victory.

The sound of the Hercules Arena spread the miracle that was happening in the arena to the entire sacred mountain.

A human Hercules is defeating barbarian opponents one after another, heading towards the championship.

Hearing the news, the Terrans gathered around the outside of the Hercules Arena and chanted the name "Luke" along with the inside. The results of the schedule were also passed out one by one.

10-player winning round.

Teams of five take turns wrestling, and the player with the most wins will qualify for the final tiebreaker.

This is not only a contest of absolute strength, but also a contest of physique and durability of strength.

Luke won all four of his games and stood on the decisive side.

His opponent lost one round and played a play-off against the same three-game winner before barely making the cut.

The two are ready to play it out, and the state of the two seems to have decided the title.

By this time, it was approaching evening, and the game went on non-stop for a whole afternoon.

In addition to the preliminary round, the players also had some rest time in the whole event, and after entering the finals, it was basically one game after another. If you can beat your opponent cleanly, you will not only save energy, but also have more rest time than other fighters.

Luke's games ended quickly.

And his final opponent had two long stalemates in the round match, so that he lost in the final round. The playoffs were again evenly matched, and the physical strength was seriously drained again.

Humanity is already celebrating the emergence of the first-ever human Hercules champion.

This is a day they will never forget; This night, they will stay up all night.

But...... A human Hercules champion is unacceptable to barbarians.

The final victory was called off before it even began.

The barbarian dignitaries in the main stand suspected that the human player Luke was cheating, and he used some kind of power-building technique to win the match in dishonorable means.

The rare toughness of the human magnates this time is to fight with the barbarians.

Each player is checked every game, and it is impossible to cheat using techniques.

The barbarian believes that it is absolutely impossible for a human to possess this power, and that he must have used a technique that is difficult to detect.

Humanity argues that "if you don't find it, you don't have it, it's a fair game, and you can't frame humans for cheating just because the barbarians lost!" ”

The quarrel in the main stands spread to the other stands, and the smell of gunpowder between barbarians and humans grew stronger.

When the situation gradually became out of control, the Duke of Celtic's order was sent to the Hercules Arena.

In order to prevent accidents, the final decider of this year's Hercules competition was suspended. Ten days later, the two fighters will continue the match at the Duke's Castle, where the Duke will personally wear the gold belt for the champion. ”

This is an order that is clearly biased in favor of the barbarians.

Ten days is enough time for the exhausted Barbarian Decisive Player to regain his strength, and it will definitely not be as easy as it is now to win him at that time.

However, the prestige of the Duke of Celts in the Tedgar Hills was extremely high, and when such a partiality order was announced, the originally indignant humans immediately died down.

After the arrival of the city militia, the crowd gathered outside the Hercules Arena quickly dispersed, and the spectators inside the stadium also left in an orderly manner.

At this time, night covers the holy mountain.

Without electricity, the city is only sparsely lit.

Luke returns to Fecochik's house with the people who came from time to time, along with Cato, and Coconut is both excited and angry, and says that he wants to draw up a ten-day training plan so that Luke can defeat the barbarian in front of the Duke of Celtic.

And the barbarians of the Rock Clan followed behind Luke, and they didn't dare to breathe, like the little brothers who followed the boss for a walk.

Although the final tiebreaker did not take place, it was clear to everyone who was the winner today.

Barbarians have a worship of strength that has been passed down from their ancestors, and absolute power will make barbarians feel awe.

Now, a human has defeated all the barbarians in a contest of strength, and it has had a greater impact than the barbarians have won the championship.

Cato is also in awe of Luke, who was eliminated in the first round of the finals, and Mr. Luke is the champion of the day.

The gap is not generally large.

I must learn from Mr. Luke, develop my strength, and try to win the next Hercules competition.

Along the way, everyone has a different mind.

Until a well-dressed man stopped them: "Mr. Luke, first of all, congratulations on your excellent performance in the Hercules Arena." My name is Morich, and I am a steward of Lord Sergei.

The Baron invites you to his mansion for dinner.

The carriage is ready for you. ”

The carriage stopped right on the side of the road.

Luke glanced at it and replied, "I don't know Baron Sergei." I'm going to have a drink with my savage friends tonight and don't have time to go anywhere else.

Let's make an appointment another day! ”
