"How about it? Are you going to do it or not?" Omar crouched in the corner and whispered to the lizard man and the other gladiators. As he spoke, his gaze shifted involuntarily towards Zhan Ye Hong who was training in the middle of the arena. He was afraid that he might overhear something.
The lizard man and the other gladiators also seemed extremely nervous upon hearing this. This wasn't something that could be decided so easily, especially after seeing Zhan Ye Hong's current strength. "Omar, are you sure this will work? He... He fought tea yesterday... "
"The boss was attacked by him! Do you understand?!" ?" Omar spat angrily and then said with a sneer on his lips, "How did you guys bully this guy before? You must know it yourself. He said he wouldn't retaliate, do you believe him?"
Sure enough, the lizard people and the others who heard this all turned pale. Judging others by oneself, Zhan Ye Hong, who had regained his strength, would definitely double his retaliation. There was no way to downplay the matter! Finally, after much consideration, the lizard person flicked out the tip of his tongue and said harshly, "Alright, I'll do it! But before we strike, the boss of the Tea Fight must strike first. Otherwise, we don't have the courage for this!"
The other few people nodded and said in unison, "As long as the boss of the Tea Fight has this confidence, it won't be difficult for us to strike together."
Omar nodded, "Don't worry. The boss of the Tea Fight is not someone who can be talked out of anything. Remember, as long as the boss of the Tea Fight strikes first, you all must attack fiercely. We'll strike at the same time and destroy this guy in one go! Never give him a chance to retaliate!"
"When to strike?"
"At mealtime, his guard should be at its lowest..."
Thinking of the upcoming scene, the lizard person let out a long tongue and spat out its strands. The others' lips also showed a sinister smile.
In the center of the distant arena, Zhan Ye Hong was standing on one leg on the ground, kicking a beautiful loop in the air. His long hair swayed extremely gracefully with his handsome movements, catching everyone's attention.
Standing still, Zhan Ye Hong couldn't help but shake his head at his own legs. "Still not possible. It seems that only wild anger can release my fighting spirit. However, changing one's personality is not an easy thing either."
Zhan Ye Hong tried again to stir up the fighting spirit within him. The usual milky white color still suddenly vanished under his left rib, without any surprise.
He wasn't a domineering person anyway. Although he was somewhat competitive, it was difficult for him to become easily angry because of this. After all, the noble education he received earlier had honed his self-control. And after a long period of prisoner life, his naturally noble temperament as a noble had been somewhat dulled. Without any special stimulus, it was really not easy for Zhan Ye Hong to become easily angry.
"This won't do." He ignored the gladiator who wanted to challenge him and walked directly to the corner, silently thinking. There was less than a month until the competition mentioned by Bar. Zhan Ye Hong must master this energy proficiently before then and use it properly. This confrontation, he must win for Bar.
Not only for better survival, but more importantly, he needed to rebuild his confidence. He needed to prove to himself that he, Zhan Ye Hong, was still an invincible strong man.
"Zhan Ye Hong!" Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out on the training ground perimeter. It immediately attracted everyone's attention. There were rarely women in the gladiator training ground. Rare, but not meaning none. When the gladiator performed well in major competitions, the slave owner would usually offer some female slaves to them for venting, but it was an extremely generous gift, so there weren't many opportunities.
More often, the entire gladiator training ground rarely heard such a clear sound like that of a nightingale.
Zhan Ye Hong was no exception. Hearing the voice, he immediately turned his head and looked at the entrance of the training ground. There, Jinna was holding a medicine box and standing gracefully by the door. The morning sun was very bright, and the sunlight shone through the gaps of the iron fence gate, clear and sparkling, hitting her delicate face, making Jinna's already holy face even more charming. Jinna waved at Zhan Ye Hong, but her face remained expressionless, as if she was merely completing some task. Seeing this, Zhan Ye Hong walked over, but did not see the malicious glares behind her.
"Boss, this guy actually has such good popularity? That's Dr. Jinna from the master's side. Hey, when did she ever speak to us these gladiators?" Omar looked at Jinna's slender figure and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Doudi looked at him and then smiled softly: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, he'll be arrogant for today's noon. Remember, be quick when you start fighting!"
"Relax, he gave me a punch the other day. I'll double it back!" Omar touched the still sunken bridge of his nose and stared at Zhan Ye Hong's tall back in a way that seemed like he was about to burst into flames.
"You call me?" Zhan Ye Hong stood in front of Jinna, looking down at her pair of deep blue eyes.
Jinna nodded and then said: "The master asked me to bring you some medicine and also check your injuries." Saying this, she took out a delicate little medicine bottle from the medicine box. Zhan Ye Hong glanced at the ancient Chinese script on the medicine bottle and was somewhat surprised: "The Qi Training Pill?"
The Qi Training Pill is a second-level medicinal item.
However, it is a work with an extremely low success rate for third-level alchemists. This medicinal item is extremely expensive and several precious materials can even be used to create two or three third-level medicinal items. Therefore, very few people are willing to spend such a huge amount to create just one second-level medicinal item. However, this Qi Training Pill is an excellent choice for lower-level swordsmen, especially third-level swordsmen, to strengthen their foundation and nourish their bodies. With this, at least it can reduce the two-year hard training for a third-level swordsmen.
Zhan Ye Hong took the delicate medicine bottle from Jinna's hand. The entire medicine bottle was made of high-quality chaotic glass, smooth and round, with a transparent color. If two drops of blood dye were to drip onto it, it might even be comparable to a ruby.
"Mr. Bal's lord really is generous enough to spend money on me!" Zhan Ye Hong smelled the rich and pure medicinal aroma of the Qi Training Pill in the bottle and softly murmured.
Jinna didn't respond. Instead, she spoke in a cold voice, "That match was extremely important for the entire family. The master told you to prepare well and not to make the slightest mistake. Xu Sheng must not lose!"
"Ha ha ha ha" Zhan Yehong suddenly burst into laughter. "I haven't even met the opponent yet. How can I guarantee that Xu Sheng won't lose? Just do your best." After saying that, he didn't waste any time and immediately poured the round-shaped elixir pill from the medicine bottle into his own mouth. He didn't even take the time to look at it.
"You!" Seeing this, Jinna hurriedly said, "Why are you so eager? I haven't prepared yet. How can I neutralize the medicinal power if I don't take the ingredients?"
"Still need to take the ingredients?" When Zhan Yehong heard this, he suddenly looked a little confused. He had also taken elixir pills before, but the highest grade ones were no more than a few first-class elixir pills. Just swallow it and use the ki energy to wrap it and slowly dissolve it. But he had never heard of the concept of auxiliary ingredients.
Jinna gave Zhan Yehong a look that was so appreciative that it was endless. Then, she quickly opened her medicine box. The medicine box looked no larger than a pillow, but inside it were neatly arranged hundreds of small medicine compartments, each containing pre-ground fine medicinal powder.
Jinna quickly took out several medicinal herbs and said to Zhan Yehong, "Sit in a lotus position and don't use ki energy. Slow down your breathing rhythm!"
Zhan Yehong didn't hesitate and did exactly as she said. In just a moment, he felt that his throat and esophagus began to become extremely hot, and a pure warm current was constantly swirling from his stomach and flowing towards his.
Jinna's jade fingers moved like flying, and immediately after that, she mixed the three auxiliary ingredients and handed them to Zhan Yehong.
"Take the first medicine pill and immediately activate your ki energy. Take the second medicine pill and start to dissolve it. Take the third medicine pill and stop all actions and wait! Do you understand?" Jinna spoke to Zhan Yehong at a faster speed than before, but her words were very clear, fearing that Zhan Yehong might swallow all three medicine pills at once in a hurry.
Zhan Yehong suffered a small setback, so he wouldn't make the same mistake again. According to Jinna's instructions, he quickly swallowed the first medicine pill. Immediately, there was a cool sensation in his throat and esophagus.
"Damn Omar! You bastard! Idiot!" Suddenly, Zhan Yehong shouted loudly. For no reason, not only did it scare Jinna right in front of him, but also Omar, who was discussing details with the tea fight, was startled. He and the tea fight looked at Zhan Yehong, but only saw Zhan Yehong sitting cross-legged facing them, with no idea what he was planning.
"What's going on? Did he discover something?" Omar looked at the tea fight with terror, and the hairs on his hands became straightened due to fear. The tea fight was also startled, completely unable to understand how Zhan Yehong had figured out their conspiracy. The confidentiality work of the several people was very good. Could it be that someone had informed Zhan Yehong? At that moment, a hundred questions flooded into his mind.
In fact, Zhan Yehong just wanted to make himself angry. After saying that one sentence, his mind immediately began to recall the scene where Omar humiliated and abused him. The daily beating, the thick phlegm in the food, and the repeated mental torture. This memory in his mind spun faster and faster, finally triggering the anger deep in his heart.
At the center of his chest, the black five-clawed giant beast appeared again. But because of the clothing covering it, no abnormality could be seen. The silver-white ki energy strangely leaked out from the hundred body cavities and gradually began to wrap around the medicinal power of the elixir pills in his abdomen, gradually enveloping them completely.
"Second medicine pill! Hurry!" Although Jinna didn't understand what Zhan Yehong's sudden scolding was about, when she saw the ki energy in his body had already been activated, she immediately reminded him. Zhan Yehong suddenly opened his eyes, making Jinna suddenly startled. Those originally clear black eyes had now turned into two intense red lines!
The bright red eyes of Zhan Ye swept over Jin Na in front of him, then lowered their heads and looked at the potion in their hands. They opened their mouths and raised their heads, swallowing the second dose of medicine. At the same time, the internal chakra immediately began to spin wildly, along with the second ingredient that had dissolved, to dissolve the internal cultivation pills that were wrapped up.
The pure medicinal power gradually broke down into a fine powder, accompanied by the consumption of the third potion, slowly floating towards the body's hundred parts. Little by little, it permeated into the blood vessels, cells, bones, muscles... and finally merged completely with them. A feeling of energetic vitality gradually rose in Zhan Ye's heart, making his spirit gradually become more excited.
Zhan Ye's lips curled slightly. This feeling was good.
