At midnight, the moonlight was hazy, and the streets were empty.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xia Zuo and Vivien walked side by side, Vivien looked unhappy and hung her head, her small mouth pouting and sometimes showing a gritted teeth.

"Nothing...... That black bear is really stupid like a bear!" Vivien grumbled, she didn't want to say it, but she couldn't help it, the two had just finished watching the midnight fight, and the 'Black Bear' Keith, which she had bet on for a silver coin, lost, and she had already complained about it.

"There are definitely winners and losers when gambling money, and if you don't want to lose, it's good not to gamble next time. Xia Zuo's face showed a faint smile, his hands were held behind his head, and he turned his head to look at Vivian and smiled.

At this time, Xia Zuo's height has reached one meter six, and he has developed rapidly in the past two years, but he has not expected much from himself, because the height of Sersa people at his age is about one meter eight, Xia Zuo obviously inherited the "excellent" gene of his father Charlie, and it is estimated that he is not too tall.

Because Vivian is a girl, and she is naturally petite, although she is two years older than Xia Zuo, the height of the two is almost the same.

"People want to win, who knows what kind of black bear is so stupid!" Vivian pouted and looked at Xia Zuo unhappily.

Xia Zuo shook his head helplessly with a smile, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "Isn't Teacher Fanny a great wizard?

"No! only legendary wizards can, the teacher can only divinate the past and the present, and there are restrictions, not what hasn't happened yet!" Vivien shook her head.

"What about you? can you do divination now?" asked Natsuzo again.

"No, divination is the most important ability of a wizard, you can only learn it if you become a full-fledged wizard, and I will only be able to use some low-level potions and simple spells now!" Vivien said in frustration.

"Wow, that's good, it's much better than me, it's going to be more than a year before I can get tested, and I don't know if I can become a martial arts professional!" Xia Zuo said with some concern.

"Xie Lu Xie!" Vivian knew that Xia Zuo was comforting herself, lowered her head and took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up courage, suddenly turned her head and kissed Xia Zuo's face, and then lowered her head again as if nothing had happened.

Vivien's face was a little red, and in the hazy moonlight, she looked different.

Xia Zuo raised his hand and touched his face, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, hehe smiled and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a green light suddenly crossed the night sky under the moonlight, fell down, and landed in front of Xia Zuo and the two, turning into a slender figure.

"Teacher!"

"Fanny-sensei!"

Fannie's sudden appearance seemed to resolve the embarrassment between the two at once, Xia Zuo and Vivian stopped and called out respectfully, Fanny glanced at Xia Zuo, and then looked at Vivian and said coldly, "Do you want me to take you back?"

"No need, Teacher Xie Lu, I'll just walk back with Xia Zuo!" Vivian said respectfully, because Fanny was usually very strict with her, so she was a little afraid of Fanny.

"Alright!" Fanny raised her eyebrows and glanced at Natsuzo again.

She knew who Xia Zuo was, she was so famous, she couldn't think about it, she also knew that her beloved apprentice was friends with Xia Zuo, so she had always felt very surprised, the two should not have intersected at all, but she didn't want to interfere in Vivian's private life, so after she finished speaking, she turned around and turned into a green light, rose into the air, and quickly disappeared into the night.

For the scene of Fanny turning into green light and flying away, Xia Zuo saw it for the first time today, but he was not too surprised, he had been at the Royal College of England for a full semester, had watched many battles, and had also seen those teachers who could fly away, so he was already surprised.

"Are you going home for the holidays, or are you going to stay in England?" the two of them began to walk towards the academy again, and Xia Zuo asked casually.

"No, I'll stay, go to the wizard's shop to work, are you leaving?" asked Vivien, she knew that Xia Zuo had no money, and a hundred gold coins could be said to be an astronomical amount, and if Xia Zuo couldn't save up enough gold coins before the start of school, he couldn't continue to study at the Royal Academy.

In fact, Vivien really wanted to help Xia Zuo, but she didn't have a few gold coins in her small coffers, which was just a drop in the bucket.

"I don't know, it depends, but I'll stay in England City and find a way to save enough money!" Xia Zuo said.

"Oh......" Vivien replied with a bowed head.

There was no word for a while, and the atmosphere between the two became awkward again.

"Just ......" Vivien mustered up her courage and looked up at Xia Zuo, but she stopped talking.

"Look, the moon is so round tonight!" Xia Zuo immediately raised his hand to the sky and said, diverting what Vivien wanted to say.

"Yes, it's so round, how can it be so round?" Vivien immediately pointed to the sky as well, following Xia Zuo's words full of questions

"Do you think werewolves will come out?"

"Werewolf?

"The book says that there are really werewolves in this world......"

"Really......"

In the night, the boy and the girl found a new topic and talked about it as they went farther and farther.

......

Early the next morning, Xia Zuo rolled over from the bed, put on a fat black robe, completely hidden his body in the robe, and hurriedly left the Royal Academy.

On this day, the college has officially closed, more than 10,000 students, most of them have left the school, or leave permanently, or return to school at the beginning of the next semester, only a small number of people choose to stay in school, most of them come from all over the world, because they are too far away from home to return home in a short time, so they stay.

Of course, Xia Zuo chose to stay at the academy, so he did not need to go through the formalities of leaving the school.

In the morning, England City was bustling and lively, Xia Zuo shuttled through the flow of people, walked through half of the city, and came to the third district in the north of England City, the most chaotic north. Every city has a dark side, even the capital of the British Empire.

Natsuzo came to a tavern called "Dark Blood", because it was daytime, there were no customers in the tavern, and the tavern guy leaned on the counter in boredom, yawning.

After entering the tavern, Natsuzo walked straight to the back door of the deepest part of the tavern.

"Hey, this gentleman, you can't go in there, sir...... wait" The tavern guy noticed Xia Zuo, shouted and ran to Xia Zuo's side, and stopped in front of Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo frowned slightly, he remembered very well that Vivien had brought him here last night, behind that door was a passage, and after passing through the passage and descending the steps, there was another passage, and at the end of the second passage was the entrance to the underground fighting arena.

"Sir, please, what do you order? We've got the best rum in England City here!" the tavern guy was very polite, waving his hand at Xia Zuo and motioning for Xia Zuo to sit aside.

"I want to sign up!" Xia Zuo said in a hoarse voice.

"Sign up? What sign up? We don't recruit people here, sir, you're drunk...... Please here, please here, it's okay if you're drunk, we have the best pastries in England City here!" The guy didn't seem to understand Xia Zuo's words, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite Xia Zuo aside.

The glimmer of light that flashed in the tavern guy's eyes didn't escape Xia Zuo's eyes, this was the entrance to the underground fighting arena, and it was impossible for him not to know the situation behind the Dao Gate.

"I watched the game yesterday, Black Mountain defeated the White Wolf, the meat grinder defeated the Black Bear, I'm going to sign up for the game, flesh and blood!" Xia Zuo said in a disguised hoarse voice, and deliberately kept his voice down to avoid being heard by the other sporadic guests in the tavern.

The Flesh and Blood Fighting Tournament is illegal in England City, it is too bloody and violent, and the "cage battle" in the way of the game is that only one party is beaten to death to end the game, but the momentum behind the fighting match is very strong, so the official is only turning a blind eye, and the ordinary people in England City do not know the existence of the 'Flesh and Blood', and the organizer is also trying to hide the existence of the 'Flesh and Blood' Fighting Tournament.

It can be said that ordinary people have no way of knowing the existence of the 'flesh and blood', nor can they enter the underground fighting arena, and the reason why Vivien was able to take Xia Zuo in was because the great wizard Fanny gave her an admission certificate.

"Oh...... It turns out that you are looking for Mr. House, please ...... inside" The tavern guy listened to Xia Zuo's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately said loudly, turning around and pushing open the back door of the tavern for Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo glanced at the tavern guy and stepped inside.

The guy didn't walk in with Xia Zuo, but closed the door with his backhand after Xia Zuo entered, and then walked to the counter on the side, leaned on it, raised his hand and yawned.

............

Behind the door, it was dark, and the candles on the walls sizzled, illuminating the way in front of the corridor.

"Sir, what kind of service do you need?" walked out of the dark corner next to the door a sweet-looking maid, put her hands on her abdomen, and bowed to Xia Zuo, who was still looking.

"Sign up!" Natsuzo said hoarsely.

"Please come with me!" the maid waved her hand at Xia Zuo and walked forward first.

The underground arena was much larger than Xia Zuo thought, and the maid led Xia Zuo through a corridor, walked down the stairs to the bottom to the underground, and took Xia Zuo for a long time, and finally came to the middle of a lonely corridor and knocked on a door.

"Come in!" a deep male voice came from the room.

"Please!" said the maid, opening the door.

Xia Zuo walked in, his eyes suddenly brightened, this is a small office, the light is very abundant, there is a middle-aged man with shiny hair combed behind the desk in the office, Xia Zuo entered the door and no one asked him to raise his head, he was holding a pen with his head down and writing something on the paper, and there was a name tag in the corner of the desk, with only one person's name "House" on it.

The maid closed the door outside, and Xia Zuo slowly walked to the desk.

"You want to participate...... How old are you!" House looked up at Xia Zuo, and wanted to ask Xia Zuo if he was competing, but he noticed Xia Zuo's tall and not strong body, and asked instead.

"Does it matter?" said Shazo, hoarse.

"It's very important, I don't know which son's son you are, but it's not a game, the game will be more brutal than you think, and I can't give other people too weak opponents, and the audience won't buy it, so ...... Please come back!" House said, then lowered his head and began to write.

He seemed to believe that Xia Zuo, who hid his body in his robe, was a young child, and Xia Zuo didn't know how he could see it, maybe it was a noble child or a rich son who had done this.

"I can fight, how do you want me to prove it?" Xia Zuo asked in a hoarse voice that refused to leave.

"Take off your hat and let me see you!" House said, putting down his pen and looking up.

"I don't want anyone to know who I am, and what else?" Xia Zuo refused, asking again.

"There's a dynamometer there, go and get a beat, pass the 300 kilograms, and you can participate in the tryouts!" House said with a smile, pointing to the dynamometer standing by the wall not far away.

Xia Zuo immediately turned and walked towards the dynamometer, and House looked at him, shook his head, and lowered his head again to begin writing.

Xia Zuo walked to the dynamometer, raised his left hand and slowly stretched it, turned his wrist and made a clicking sound, one leg retreated slightly and made a move to prepare for a punch, his body stagnated for a moment, and suddenly moved!

The room is completely enclosed, and it seems to set off a breeze......

There was a loud "boom", and hidden smoke and dust rose up.
