The gray-haired man in this projection is naturally the Lord of Saka, Gao Tianzun.
After he appeared on the stage, the arena erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and at the same time bursts of electronic music sounded, creating a strong atmosphere.
Gao Tianzun continued: "This is definitely a wonderful competition. Our champion Ares will have another challenger, and there will also be an outstanding newcomer making his debut."
"I believe everyone has already placed bets on their favorite gladiators, so now, let's warm up first."
Every grand fighting competition, before the official start, there are always several warm-up matches, where a few second- and third-rate gladiators fight each other.
Generally speaking, in warm-up matches, many of these second- and third-rate gladiators will end up dying in battle, because the audience likes such scenes very much.
"The first game, Wiggin versus Cruze!" Gao Tianzun announced the two sides of the game.
Immediately, the doors on both sides of the competition venue slowly opened, and a gladiator walked out from each side, all of them tall.
"The game begins!" Gao Tianzun shouted.
One of the gladiators immediately roared, holding a broadsword, and ran towards his opponent. His huge size was quite visually impactful, causing the audience to scream.
The two gladiators were of equal strength. They fought back and forth for hundreds of rounds in the arena, and both of them fought until they were bruised and covered in blood.
In the end, one of the gladiators was beheaded, and his opponent, carrying the head that was still spurting blood, stepped on the corpse and declared his victory.
Next came two more warm-up matches. The three warm-up matches were all brutal, with one victory and one death, leaving a large bloodstain in the middle of the field.
However, the atmosphere among the audience became more and more enthusiastic, with screams and fireworks going off one after another, and some people were even as excited as if they had taken drugs.
"I believe everyone has the same feeling as me. It was another wonderful night." Gao Tianzun's projection appeared again with a smile on his face, "Thank you to the gladiators who died in the warm-up match. Next, let us invite this month's
Best Newcomer, Bill the Horse-Faced!"
"The opponent he is about to face is "two-faced"!"
Luo Wei sat forward.
After a while, the door opened, and a sturdy horse-faced man walked out, holding a war hammer. It was Bill, the horse-faced thunder god.
There is a small disc vaguely visible on the horse-faced thunder god's neck, which is undoubtedly the submission magnetic disc used by Gao Tianzun to control him. This always makes his expression have a trace of anger.
Luo Wei was sitting in the third row, very close to the competition venue. He was tall. The horse-faced thunder god's eyes swept over here, and he quickly noticed him. He was suddenly startled, with some surprise in his eyes.
Luo Wei smiled at him and then removed his expression.
Although the person was finally found, we still have to find a way to rescue the Horse-faced Thunder God from Gao Tianzun.
The horse-faced thunder god felt better. He took a deep breath for a moment, clenched the war hammer in his hand, and looked at his opponent.
His opponent, Two-Faced, was a giant man with two heads and two faces, so he was called "Double-Faced."
Of the two faces of this man, one was full of ferocity, glaring angrily, and the other was crying, which looked quite strange.
"The Horse-Faced Man vs. the Two-Faced Man, the game begins!"
Dual-faced was the first to take action. His angry side roared, and he rushed forward with two swords in his hands. Both swords struck at the horse-faced thunder god with great force.
Just hearing a roar, the horse-faced thunder god swung his thunder hammer, and a bright bolt of lightning shot out from the hammer.
"boom!"
The two-faced man was immediately struck away by lightning.
"Horse-faced man! Horse-faced man!" This thunder instantly set off the atmosphere. The audience cheered and fireworks went off.
On the high platform, Gao Tianzun, who was watching the battle, also smiled: "Haha, Ma Mian is really good. I think he has the potential to be the next champion, although compared to Ares, the brutal axe, he is still a little behind."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked to the side, where sat a thin, bald man with pale skin.
"Carlo, you have found a good fighter. You are worthy of being my good brother."
In the arena, Two-Faced got up from the ground after being knocked away by a thunderbolt from the Horse-Faced God of Thunder.
The expressions on his two faces were distorted for a while, and then the crying side turned into an angry one, with both faces glaring and roaring.
"I'm going to kill you!" the two faces said in unison, and then launched another attack.
After the two faces fell into anger at the same time, the strength of the two-faced man suddenly increased a lot. After charging forward again, he was not defeated quickly, but fought with the horse-faced thunder god several times, back and forth.
However, as the guardian of the Corbin people, the horse-faced thunder god is a man deeply admired by Odin. He also has an artifact given by Odin, and is much stronger than the opponent.
Not to mention such a gladiator, even in Asgard, there are few who can defeat the horse-faced thunder god.
After the horse-faced thunder god became more serious, the two-faced faction quickly fell into a disadvantage, and was beaten back by the arc-wrapped thunder hammer.
Soon, the expression of the two-faced man changed again, and both faces turned into a crying look: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
After all, the horse-faced thunder god was a person recognized by Mjolnir. He had a kind and upright character, so he stopped immediately and stopped attacking.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Dual-faced's expression returned to a scowl, and he attacked with two swords, heading straight for the horse-faced thunder god's vitals.
The horse-faced thunder god was caught off guard and dodged hastily, but he was still struck by the sword and let out a groan.
"boom"
Immediately, blazing thunder swept out from the war hammer, and with a loud bang, Two-faced was killed on the spot.
"Thor! Thor!" The audience was even more excited and called Bill directly.
The horse-faced thunder god looked gloomy, looked at the corpse on the ground, turned around and left silently.
Luo Wei looked around, then left the auditorium, found an entrance very close to where the gladiators played, walked in, and when he turned the corner, he saw the horse-faced thunder god who had just walked out of the venue not far away.
"Bill."
Just as Luo Wei was about to step forward, several laser guardrails suddenly appeared and blocked him. Two drones flew out from nowhere nearby and aimed at him.
A group of guards wearing heavy armor rushed over: "Who are you!"
"Well, I am a supporter of Horse Faced Thunder God, and I want to get his autograph."
"Go aside, no one is allowed to enter here unless they have business dealings with the owner." The guard expelled.
Luo Wei was thinking about whether to take action directly, but the horse-faced thunder god shook his head at him, indicating not to take action.
Luo Wei had no choice but to leave, frowning and thinking about countermeasures, then returned to the auditorium and continued to watch the game absentmindedly.
"Thunder God's performance is wonderful, but next is our highlight." Gao Tianzun's projection appeared in the middle of the field and said with a smile.
"Let us give the warmest applause to welcome today's protagonist, Ares, the brutal axe!"
