Chapter 12 ‘Sparring’ and ‘Grizzly Bear’ (please follow up)
Earl Arthur finally agreed.
With William following Chen Mu, he felt that there would not be much danger.
After all, improving his actual combat ability would be of great help to Chen Mu.
Regardless of whether he inherits the position of earl or becomes a lord in one of the territories in the Far East, practical combat ability is indispensable.
It was already a few days later when Chen Mu and William arrived at the Golden Lion Arena.
Because the Golden Lion Arena is located in the Far East Territory, it is not too far from the manor where Chen Mu lives.
The Golden Lion Arena is a large and spectacular building built from expensive materials such as marble, brass and metal.
From the outside, the tall walls are decorated with exquisitely carved patterns and reliefs, and each wall exudes an aura of splendor.
There is a huge arched door at the entrance, with the emblem of the Golden Lion family carved on it.
There are two crossed knight swords on top, giving people a chilling feeling.
Entering inside, the first thing you see is a vast field.
There are countless gorgeous seats, which are a viewing platform for noble spectators to watch the gladiatorial battles.
Some of the seats in the viewing platform are very luxurious, with cushions made of precious materials such as silk and leather, surrounded by tapestries and ornaments.
Although he has the memory of the gladiatorial arena, this is the first time that Chen Mu has actually come here.
His first impression was that this place did not look like a gladiatorial arena, but like a magnificent and luxurious palace.
There are also some facilities on site, such as a bar serving food and drinks, an open-air garden for nobles to rest and socialize, and sanitary facilities such as toilets and bathrooms.
It is extremely luxurious and can meet most of the needs of the nobles.
The interior of the arena is divided into three equal parts, with countless marble stages standing inside.
When Chen Mu came in, there were already many people in the ring.
There are gladiatorial fights that look like performances while wearing luxurious armor, and there are also gladiatorial fights where the upper body is bare and the fists are punched to the flesh.
In just a few minutes, Chen Mu saw an extremely strong man having his neck broken and then being carried off the ring.
The next moment, someone came on stage to clean up the blood stains on the stage. In less than a minute, the marble stage was as clean as ever.
It seems that the person who just died above is an illusion.
Screams, shouts, and extremely noisy sounds filled the entire Golden Lion Arena.
The nobles who usually pay great attention to etiquette were screaming loudly at this moment.
He was sweating profusely and shaking his head, as if he wanted to roar his throat to pieces.
There was a sharp contrast between luxury and elegance and bloody violence. This scene deeply touched Chen Mudu.
"It has been more than a hundred years since the Golden Lion Arena was built. The construction of this arena alone took fifteen years."
William felt that Chen Mu was shocked by the splendor of the arena, so he softly explained to Chen Mu.
"Master, do you want to go to the viewing platform to watch first or directly participate in the competition? If you want to participate, you need to register first."
"Let's get started!"
Chen Mu spoke and moved his body slightly while speaking.
After registering for the sparring match at the registration office, Chen Mu was assigned to the twelve arenas.
Naturally, the name he registered with was not his real name, but a nickname he made up at random.
Most of the people who participate in gladiators here use nicknames instead of their real names.
This was actually Chen Mu's own intention, which William did not refuse.
Naturally, Chen Mu could not directly participate in a life-and-death battle from the beginning. William would not allow it, and even Chen Mu himself had no experience in life-and-death battles.
Before participating in the sparring match, Chen Mu needed to go to the locker room to change equipment.
The locker room of the Golden Lion Arena has numerous individual locker rooms, each of which has a locker.
Compared to the grandeur outside, the dressing room looked extremely rough.
Not only was the ventilation poor, it was also very dark, and the lack of lighting made the locker room even darker and more humid.
The sparring competition is also divided into weapon fighting and unarmed fighting. Chen Mu participated in the weapon fighting this time.
This kind of gladiator requires full armor. Chen Mu quickly put on the knight's armor including the knight's helmet.
Chen Mu adjusted his breathing easily, and his body instinctively operated the breathing method.
At this time, Chen Mu found that he didn't feel nervous at all, but just inexplicably excited.
"No. 16, it's your turn. Arena No. 12, your opponent is the Grizzly Bear."
A man dressed as an attendant knocked on the door of Chen Mu's dressing room, his tone without any emotion.
After signing up to participate in the gladiatorial battle, no matter who it is, there will be a number, and Chen Mu is exactly the number 16 mentioned by the attendant.
Chen Mu opened his closed eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his green eyes.
Seeing Chen Mu come out, the attendant looked at Chen Mu casually.
After seeing Chen Mu's thin appearance, there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
"I'll take you to the ring. A sparring match is no better than a life-and-death fight, but occasionally you may be seriously injured. If you lose, it's best to admit defeat as soon as possible."
The attendant leading Chen Mu spoke in a low voice from the front.
He seemed to think that Chen Mu was that kind of down-and-out nobleman, so he said a few more words.
Chen Mu also glanced at the attendant walking in front with some surprise and said: "Thank you."
The attendant did not reply and silently led Chen Mu to Arena No. 12.
When Chen Mu arrived at the ring, a big man wearing heavy armor was already standing on the marble ring.
The big man was very tall, standing upright on the ring like a giant, a full head taller than Chen Mu.
Chen Mu frowned slightly under his helmet. He was naturally not afraid of this man.
But he registered his weight when registering, and his opponent was obviously not in the same weight class as him.
He felt that the arena should not make such a simple mistake.
If it was not because of the arena, then it was probably that the strong man in front of him was tall, but his knight level was not as high as his.
He registered as a peak quasi-knight at the time, so the strong man in front of him was definitely not a peak quasi-knight.
After all, in addition to evaluating weight, opponents will also be arranged based on comprehensive strength in a sparring match.
When he stepped onto the ring, Chen Mu found that many people on the viewing platform had already turned their eyes to the ring.
This naturally included William, who was sitting in the front.
Noticing that the audience on this ring burst into a burst of sighs, it was really that Chen Mu and Grizzly looked too different.
"'Lionheart' vs. 'Grizzly', sparring is prohibited from hurting lives. If one party surrenders, the other party will stop. The fight begins!"
With the referee's order,
The seemingly clumsy Grizz was the first to attack.
He did not choose to go around in circles with Chen Mu, but approached Chen Mu at an extremely fast speed, and slashed with the heavy sword in his hand, aiming at Chen Mu's head.
The metal armor made a sound, and the two knight swords made a loud noise of metal collision.
This sound could be heard clearly even by the audience on the viewing platform.
There was a trace of solemnity in the eyes of the Grizz.
He knew the power of this sword, but he did not expect that it was blocked by the thin boy in front of him with an easy attitude.
"Sure enough, the power of this Grizz is far less than that of me when I was at the peak of the quasi-knight."
Chen Mu thought in his heart, and Chen Mu judged the power of the Grizz at a collision.
Chen Mu's physical attribute was 2.2 when he was at the peak of the quasi-knight, so the Grizz was only 1.8 at best.
The next moment, Chen Mu suppressed his strength to a level similar to that of the Grizz, and slashed the Grizz's chest with the long sword in his hand.
Although they were wearing knight armor, the sparring was also scored, otherwise one side would not admit defeat until when.
But Grizz was also very experienced, and he twisted the long sword in his hand to block Chen Mu's attack.
After the test, the two began to circle quickly on the field, and the frequency of attack became very high. Both tried to attack each other's whole body.
The sound of metal collisions rang out on the field and turned to the ears of the audience on the viewing platform.
"Sure enough, I came to the right place. I guess everyone's fighting skills here are not weak, which is very helpful for me to improve my actual combat ability."
The situation on the ring changed rapidly, and even Grizz did not expect that the first one to run out of energy was not his opponent but himself.
"I admit defeat!"
A heavy voice sounded, and at this time Chen Mu's knight sword was only half a centimeter away from Grizz's knight helmet.
The next moment, bursts of screams and shouts broke out on the viewing platform, and Chen Mu heard his nickname among them.
"It feels good."
Amid the screams, Chen Mu slowly put away the long sword.
A faint glow sprinkled on his silver-white knight armor, dazzling and eye-catching.
William, who was sitting in the front row of the viewing platform, also had a hint of smile in his eyes at this time.
