Chapter 802 Bullfighting Performance

Many years later residents of Rome will still remember this day.

Not only because today a grand gladiatorial performance was held to celebrate the accession of the new emperor of the empire, but also because they saw an authentic western cowboy bullfighting performance in the Flavi Amphitheater for the first time.

This may not be a strange entertainment item in later generations. After all, the 21st century has long passed the golden age of Western cultural popularity. However, in the second century AD, people even had the feeling of witnessing Quidditch games or seeing them in the park. Feeling as shocked as wild Pikachu.

Especially after seeing Zhang Heng narrowly evading the bison's attacks time and time again, and performing the wonderful act of flying and riding a bull, this exciting bullfighting performance has completely captured the hearts of everyone present. It was as if there was an invisible hand controlling the emotions of the audience in the stands, making them sometimes marvel, sometimes feel heartbroken, and sometimes be delighted with the figure in the arena...

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

As the owner of Zhang Heng and the master of the Gladiator School, he has been in this business for quite some time. He has seen thousands of gladiators, but none of these people together can bring him more than Zhang Heng alone. There was so much excitement, and the latter's ability to find trouble was completely beyond his imagination.

In less than a day, he first provoked Sartonilos, a powerful enemy, for no reason, which gave Marcus a big headache. As a result, after half a day, Zhang Heng stopped being a good gladiator again. , chose a bison as his opponent, and Marcus almost collapsed when he saw this scene.

He almost shouted at Zhang Heng, "Can't you win the damn championship honestly? What good will it do to you if you have to play so many tricks?" !

Zhang Heng is now his most valuable asset. Marcus asked himself that he loves Zhang Heng more than his wife and daughter, but the latter does not seem to appreciate it at all. Repeatedly challenging his bottom line, Marcus no longer had the confidence he had when talking to Gabi before. He began to realize that people like Zhang Heng would never be controlled by anyone, not just him, even Kang Maode also had trouble taming the beast.

As a result, his expression darkened, but now Markrus had to rely on Zhang Heng. However, once Zhang Heng won the championship, he would inevitably be further out of his control, which also made Markrus feel complicated.

After several rounds of confrontations with the bison, Zhang Heng gradually figured out the latter's action mode. At the same time, the viewing quality had reached his expectations, so he decided to prepare to end the battle.

With Zhang Heng's current skills, the process would not actually be so thrilling, or it should be said that it is precisely because of his current skills that the whole process can be both thrilling and not pose any substantial threat to him. This is like a deliberate fight scene in a movie. The purpose is to stimulate the audience's nerves and give the audience a sense of satisfaction.

And Zhang Heng's finishing method also continued this drama. When the bison rushed towards him again, he jumped on the back of the bull again, so the bison also jumped up and down again, trying every means to pull Zhang Heng from it. It was thrown off its back, and after conventional methods failed, it rushed towards the edge of the arena again.

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

A burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the stands, and when the bison ran back to the center of the arena, Zhang Heng freed up his hands to successfully put the rope around the bison's head. The more the bison struggled, the tighter the rope became, almost The bison's breathing became louder and louder. Although its eyes were full of unwillingness, it finally had to give in to the cruel reality and stop.

So Zhang Heng also loosened some of the ropes a little, but then the bison erupted again, struggling and shaking with more intense steps, trying to throw away the annoying human on his back. Unfortunately, Zhang Heng had dealt with more of its kind than it. Having seen it many times, I had long been on guard against its attack. After a not too fierce fight, the bison knelt down again, and this time it really knelt down, because Zhang Heng tied its legs with a rope. It was also tied up.

In the end, the bison had no choice but to surrender.

And when Zhang Heng got off the back of the bull, he received the biggest cheers since the completion of the Flavi Amphitheater. All the audience, including Commodus, stood up, and the sound wave drowned the entire arena, so that No one except Queen Crispina could even hear clearly what His Majesty the Emperor was saying.

Flowers and copper coins fell like raindrops. This novel and exciting bullfighting performance will surely become the most popular topic of conversation in Rome for a while, and those who were lucky enough to witness this scene felt a sense of honor. The intense satisfaction of this trip.

Even because of this performance, a new entertainment activity was added in Rome in the future, which was bare-handed bullfighting. However, due to lack of professional training, many heroic slave matadors died under the horns, which once became a mortality rate. The highest performance activities, of course, these are all things for later.

The instigator of all this, just like the previous performance, did not stay much in the venue. After bowing slightly in the direction of Commodus, he turned and walked towards the lounge.

As of now, Zhang Heng's goal has been exceeded. I believe that after these battles, Commodus's interest in him has reached its peak. When the performance is over, the young emperor will definitely come to contact him. What will happen next? The question of the whereabouts of Ortrus has been found.

…………

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

The gladiators inside had different expressions. Habitus and Sartonilos were not fools. Although they did not see the bullfighting process, they knew from the outrageous cheers outside that Zhang Heng had completely conquered the Flavio Circle. In the theater, and now the gladiatorial performance is not even over yet, they have no idea 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. They don't know what they should do to win the hearts of the audience, and they seem a little at a loss.
