48 Hours a Day

Chapter 802: Bullfighting

Until many years later, the inhabitants of Rome will remember the day.

Not only because of the grand martial arts show held today to celebrate the empire's new emperor, but also because for the first time they saw an authentic western cowboy fight in the Flavi Circular Theatre.

This may not be a rare entertainment project in future generations. After all, the 21st century was long past the golden age of Western culture, yet in the 2nd century AD, you even had the same sense of shock as witnessing Quidditch or seeing wild Picachus in the park.

Especially after seeing Zhang Heng avoid the buffalo attack again and again, and perform the fantastic code of the flying god riding the bull, this exciting bullfighting show has completely captured the hearts of the people in the place. In the underwater, it is as if there is an invisible hand manipulating the audience's emotions on the observation stage, making them marvel with that figure in the arena, sometimes heartbreaking, and yet frowning dance...

His Majesty the Emperor himself was one of them, but Marcus was the one most concerned with hanging guts.

As the owner of Zhang Heng, the owner of the gladiator school, he has been running this business for quite some time. Thousands of gladiators he has met, but these people together do not bring much excitement to Zhang Heng. The latter's ability to find things is completely beyond his imagination.

In less than a day, he first, for no reason, provoked Satonylos as a powerful enemy, causing Macros a headache, and it was only after half a day that Zhang Heng left a good gladiator not to do it, and chose a buffalo as his opponent. When Macros saw this scene, it was like a collapse.

He almost shouted at Zhang Heng, can't you honestly take the damn champion, have to play so many moths, what good would it do you?!

Zhang Heng, as his most valuable asset now, asked himself how much more he cared for Zhang Heng than for his wife and children, but the latter seemed to be ungrateful. After repeatedly challenging his bottom line, Marcus had long since been full of confidence in previous and Gabriel conversations, and he began to realize that people like Zhang Heng would probably never be controlled by anyone, not just him, but even Conmoor would have difficulty domesticating the beast.

So his face also became gloomy, but Marcus now had to rely on Zhang Heng. However, once Zhang Heng won the championship, he would surely be more out of his control, which also complicated Marcus' mood.

After several rounds of fighting with the buffalo, Zhang Heng gradually grasped out the latter's mode of action, while also fulfilling his expectations in terms of viewing, and decided to prepare for the end of the battle.

Zhang Heng's hand today doesn't actually make the process so alarming, or it should be said that it is precisely because of his hand now that it can make the whole process appear neither dangerous nor poses any substantial threat to him. This is as if it was a game made intentionally in the movie. The aim is to stimulate the audience's nerves and satisfy the audience.

Zhang Heng's means of closing also continued this drama. When the buffalo rushed at him again, he jumped on the back of the bull, so the buffalo also jumped up and down again. He tried to throw Zhang Heng off his back by all means, and after the conventional means failed, it rushed to the edge of the arena again.

But this time it didn't get what it wanted, because Zhang Heng on its back had moved to his side while holding onto its bristles and not falling from it.

When the gazebo suddenly burst into glory, when the buffalo ran back to the center of the arena, Zhang Heng also released his hand to successfully put the rope on the buffalo's head. The more the buffalo struggled, the tighter the rope was, the closer it was to strangling its flesh, and the buffalo's wheeze became louder and louder. Even though his eyes were full of discomfort, he eventually had to succumb to the cruel reality and stop.

So Zhang Heng also slightly loosened some rope, but immediately after the buffalo erupted again, struggled to shake with more intense footsteps, wanted to throw the hateful human on his back away, unfortunately Zhang Heng had dealt with more of his kind than he had seen before, and was already prepared for this hand, the buffalo once again knelt after a not intense fight, and this time he really knelt down, because Zhang Heng also tied his leg with rope.

Ultimately, the buffalo has no second choice but to submit.

And when Zhang Heng got off the cow's back, he also got the biggest cheer since the Flavi Circular Theatre was built. All the audiences, including Conmood, stood up, and the sound waves drowned the entire arena, so that no one could even hear what His Majesty the Emperor was saying except Queen Crispina.

Flowers and copper coins fall like rain, and this novel and exciting bullfighting show is bound to be the most popular conversation capital in Rome for some time to come, and anyone who has the privilege of witnessing it will have a strong sense of satisfaction in traveling with honor.

Even as a result of this performance, a new entertainment event was added to Rome in the future, namely, hand-to-hand bullfighting, but because of the lack of professional training, many heroic slave bullfighters died under the horns, once the highest mortality performance, of course, these are the latter words.

And the fighter who started all this, like the previous show, didn't stay there much, and after a short bow in the direction of Khanmoud, he turned to the lounge.

As of now, Zhang Heng's goal has been exceedingly accomplished, and I believe that after these battles, Conmood's interest in him has climbed to the top, and when the show is over, the young emperor will certainly come to contact him on his own initiative, and then the question of how to find Otrus will be found.

…………

Unlike the heat outside, the lounge is a dead silence at this moment.

The gladiators looked at each other differently. Habitus and Satonylos were not fools. Although they could not see the bullfighting process, they knew from the outward shouts that Zhang Heng had completely conquered the Flavi Circular Theatre, and now the gladiator show was not even over. They had no idea how Zhang Heng actually did it.

Of course, the worst is the people who will appear later. Their wind has been completely snatched away by Zhang Heng, and they don't know what they should do to capture the audience's heart. It seems a little helpless.
