The previous battles had all been arranged by the arena long ago. To ensure that the final battle's excitement and popularity could be kept up, the most powerful gladiators would not meet during the early phase of the battle. But now, Zhang Heng had appeared in from of the audience while they were cheering for him. It also brought out a new problem. His opponent hadn't yet been decided. The organizer did not know what to do at a time like this. Zhang Heng, however, walked to the judge and talked to him, to which the latter looked very surprised. He repeatedly asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I won't play around with my life," Zhang Heng said.
The judge then hurriedly told Zhang Heng's proposal to Commodus in the front row. And the young emperor also had a strange look on his face when he heard what Zhang Heng said, "He said that?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I asked him twice." The judge affirmed.
