Blazing's entire head was wrapped in the fire dragon. He stumbled and tried to put out the fire, but he could not.
How could a flame given by a god be extinguished so easily like an ordinary flame?
As a result, everyone on the scene watched Blazing rolling back and forth on the ground. As the flames had entered his throat, he could not even make a sound.
Gradually, even the speed at which he rolled back and forth slowed down, and in the end, he stopped moving entirely.
His entire head had turned into ashes and was blown away by a gust of wind.
"Gods above, as you can see, Bull Butcher used Blazing's technique to defeat him," the host mumbled.
"Gods above! Bull Butcher, the gladiator born out of miracles, has won miraculously again!"
Following the host's excited shout, everyone started to cheer as well.
"Miracle Gladiator, Bull Butcher!"
"Miracle Gladiator, Bull Butcher!"
...
The audience members called out Lin Lei's name time and time again. Many of them even had their hands clasped together and their eyes closed as they wept, thanking the Ancestral God for his blessings.
"It seems like I was too confident in Blazing this time, to the point that I've neglected such an excellent gladiator. Your Majesty Titus, Princess Lana, please allow me to apologize for my arrogance."
Suleiman stood up with a smile and bowed to Titus and Lana.
"Oh, please don't say that. You heard it just now. To the Miracle Gladiator, this is just another miracle."
Titus stood up and gave Suleiman a hand.
"Father is right. Prince Suleiman, you don't have to be like this."
Lana nodded and smiled. Anyway, the winner was Bull Butcher. Who cared if he won through a miracle or his strength?
"No, no, no. Your Majesty Titus and Princess Lana, you're far too humble. Such an outstanding gladiator is extremely rare in our Halhaza. I've always respected such an outstanding gladiator, so I would like to request your Majesty Titus to allow me to meet this outstanding gladiator."
Lana did not say anything, but all her attention was focused on Titus and Suleiman.
"Prince Suleiman, your status is too noble. I'm afraid that letting this sinful slave see you will offend you," Titus said after a moment of silence.
"Halhaza has always respected warriors, so there's no such thing."
Suleiman shook his head and smiled.
Titus tapped his leg with his index finger.
"Since you really want to meet this gladiator, how about I send someone to bring him to your tent?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty Titus, for your help."
Suleiman bowed again.
"This tent is Prince Suleiman's tent. Go in."
The guard pointed at the tent in front of them as he spoke to Lin Lei.
Lin Lei nodded in thanks, then walked toward the tent.
To tell the truth, even now, Lin Lei still could not quite figure it out.
It was all because everything had happened too suddenly.
He had just returned backstage when a guard walked up to him. "Bull Butcher, Prince Suleiman wants to see you. Come with me."
Then, Lin Lei followed him to the station outside the city.
Suleiman?
The prince of Halhaza?
Lin Lei observed the white tent in front of him.
The white tent was extremely large, covering an area of about 50 square meters.
The embroidery outside the tent was extremely exquisite and luxurious, and there were even golden beads hanging from the tent's curtain.
It looked extremely gorgeous.
Lin Lei walked into the tent and immediately saw two naked female gladiators fighting in front of a luxuriously dressed, handsome young man.
The young man sat cross-legged on a soft cushion. There was a small table on his left, filled with all kinds of fruits and desserts. It seemed that this was the Prince of Halhaza, Suleiman.
"Please take a seat."
Suleiman raised his head, saw that it was Lin Lei, and smiled as he rose to his feet, indicating for Lin Lei to sit on the soft cushion on the other side of the table.
Lin Lei walked around the wrestling female gladiators and sat down on the soft cushion.
"I'm so happy to see you."
Suleiman laughed as he handed over a peeled orange to Lin Lei.
"Thank you, Prince."
Lin Lei accepted the orange, rather surprised.
Was the royal family of Halhaza all so easy to approach?
"You're a true warrior, worthy of my respect."
Suleiman casually waved his hand, and the two female gladiators stopped fighting. They saluted and walked out of the tent.
"I'm sure you know that we're meeting this time because I want to see you."
Suleiman went straight to the point.
"Yes, I was brought here as soon as I got out of the arena."
Lin Lei nodded.
"Please forgive me for being so presumptuous this time. It's just that I'm worried that if I don't see you soon, I'll regret it in the future,"
"I wonder why Your Highness wishes to see me?"
"I watched your match this time, and I have to say that you're really an excellent gladiator."
Suleiman shook his head and chuckled. "But those people actually said that you're the Miracle Gladiator. In my opinion, the word 'miracle' is an insult to a legendary gladiator like you. Others may not know, but I do. You were able to win because of your excellent martial arts and combat skills.
"It's a pity that the others don't understand."
Suleiman sighed.
He spoke with such sincerity, but Lin Lei's mind was wandering.
Meeting the Ancestral God and getting the Ancestral God to bestow him with all sorts of skills should be considered a miracle. In that case, those people who called him the Miracle Gladiator were not wrong.
In terms of combat skills, it was all thanks to Daisy's intensive training. Otherwise, how could he have come up with so many moves? It was not wrong to say that he had trained in these combat skills.
In the end, Lin Lei came to the conclusion that 70% of it was attributed to miracles and 30% was acquired skill.
"As a matter of fact, instead of being called the Miracle Gladiator in such an arena, why don't I redeem you? You'll no longer be a slave but my subordinate. I truly appreciate you and will certainly treat you well. What do you think?"
Suleiman's words caused Lin Lei to come back to his senses.
"I wonder if I'll have to change my faith to believe in Ahura if I work for you?"
Lin Lei thought back to the time in the arena when Blazing was loudly shouting for Ahura's blessings.
"Of course. Ahura is the Lord of Truth, and all the people of Halhaza believe in him. I am no exception, and those loyal to me will naturally believe in him."
Suleiman nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"Then please forgive me. If you require me to change my faith, I'd rather give up this opportunity to regain my freedom."
Lin Lei's words caused Suleiman to be rather surprised.
"As far as I know, many orcs no longer believe in the Ancestral God. Why would you rather believe in the Ancestral God who has lost the people's support than obtain this opportunity to be free?"
