The train gradually moved inland from the shoreline. Green mountains rose on both sides of the railway. The mountains in Japan were quite clean, and the air quality was better than expected. Mo Fan had gotten used to breathing the haze in Shanghai and had a hard time adapting to the fresh air.


Mo Fan preferred big cities, with modern buildings and magnificent skyscrapers. Mountains like these usually had lots of demon creatures, despite their elegant appearance. If anyone in the team suggested staying at a Japanese temple again, he would simply beat the crap out of the person. It was not like they were too poor to afford the luxurious hotels. Didn’t they know how scary Japanese temples were?!
Taking a train was a lot better than traveling on a ship; at least he could fall asleep easily when he was tired.
Mo Fan was tired, and he decided to take a nap. When he woke up, he heard Jiang Yu chuckling.

I think he imagined it, we already confirmed it, there’s no island there,
said Mu Tingying.
Mo Fan woke up reluctantly. He was not in the mood to argue with them. If he really wanted to find out if the island really existed, he could easily hop off the train and go look for it. He did not care if the island was real or not.

We are going to Osaka,
said Ai Jiangtu.

Aren’t we going straight to Tokyo?
asked Zhao Manyan.

The advisors specifically told us to have some friendly duels with the famous institutes here in Japan. There’s a national embassy in Osaka. We have to overcome the challenge before making our way to Tokyo,
said Ai Jiangtu.

We’re going to challenge them? That sounds fun!
Mo Fan was excited.

Humph, you’re only a substitute. I don’t think you have a spot in the duels,
rebuked Zu Jiming.



How far are we from Osaka?


We’re almost there.


Japan has lots of sea monsters. I heard the shoreline at Osaka is an infamous maritime battlefield. We should go take a look if we have the time. I heard the battles are quite spectacular,
said Jiang Yu.
Osaka was not peaceful; its situation was similar to China’s Ancient Capital. Large-scale battles were quite common here.
The sea monsters were one of the greatest races among the demon creatures. Japan was even more disaster-prone than China. Every structure was built with great strength. Even if some sea monsters invaded the city, they could not necessarily destroy the buildings.
Osaka was relatively fine. The battles in Tokyo were the most intense.
Although Tokyo was a modern city and Japan’s capital, it was also the biggest maritime battlefield. Different tribes of sea monsters would try to invade the city during the day and night, yet they never made it past Tokyo or Osaka’s defensive perimeter. As a result, the huge number of corpses of the demon creatures had given Tokyo and Osaka lots of resources.
It was safe to say that these sea monsters had handily increased the GDP of the two cities!
{TL Note: GDP = Gross domestic product.}


We’ll definitely visit the maritime battlefield in Tokyo. We won’t be going to the one in Osaka. We’re only there to challenge the institute,
stated Ai Jiangtu firmly.



Yeah, the battlefield in Tokyo is known as one of the Four Great Maritime Battlefields of the world. The one in Osaka isn’t as fascinating. Let’s hurry up and challenge the national embassy, so that we can go and witness some spectacular battles!
said Jiang Yu.

Are they really that spectacular?
asked Mo Fan.

Not only are they spectacular, do you have any idea how long the shoreline at Tokyo is? You can pretty much see sea monsters along the entire shoreline. Servant-class, Warrior-level, even Commander-level creatures. The number of demon creatures in the sea is overwhelming, especially the Pacific Ocean, which has countless packs of sea monsters. It’s quite common to find tribes of them, but the sea monster kingdoms are the real scary deal.

Listen to me; they don’t send the sea monsters ashore to invade human territories or anything like that. They have no interest in occupying lands at all. It’s because their population…oh, their numbers are just too many. The sea monsters are sent here to die. If they managed to steal some resources, it would allow the tribes to live luxuriously for a few days, but it doesn’t matter even if the sea monsters have failed to secure anything. Sea monsters from the over-populated tribes fight until their death. It’s a twisted way to control their population, like birth control!
Jiang Yu was excited when the topic was about demon creatures.

That doesn’t sound right, the news and media always say we have won battles under someone’s lead, eliminating the threats posed by the sea monsters and maintaining the peace of the ocean…
said Mu Tingying.

Bullshit, do you really believe anything the media is saying? Trust me, the number of sea creatures is ten times, or a hundred times the human population. If they really liked our lands, they would have colonized us ages ago. The kingdoms of demon creatures on land is nothing compared to the kingdoms of demon creatures in the sea!
said Jiang Yu.

You’re saying it like us humans are weak and petty; we would have gone extinct if what you said is true.


I don’t know why, but I’m getting excited all of a sudden,
said Mo Fan.

There’s definitely something wrong with you.


Do you think I learned magic so I can sit down and have a peaceful talk with the demon creatures while enjoying some tea? All I want to do is to beat the crap out of them!



Gong Yu immediately poured a cold bucket of water on Mo Fan.
Aren’t you the boastful one? Just don’t wet your pants when you see it when the time comes. Pretty sure you’re willing to be their slave or call them Papa, worse than having a peaceful talk with them.

Mo Fan chuckled when he heard Gong Yu’s remark.
Did Gong Yu just say that Mo Fan had never seen a spectacular battle before? Mo Fan was afraid that he would scare the shit out of Gong Yu if he told him the truth. The calamity of the Ancient Capital, which had yet to fully calm down, was no doubt scarier than the battlefield in Tokyo. The swarming zombies, the phantoms flying in the sky, and skeletons stacking up like mountains… If Mo Fan was not scared of them, why would he be scared of the monsters in the ocean?
He was looking forward to setting up a huge teppanyaki once he arrived at the battlefield, to cook the sea monsters on the spot. Weren’t the sea monsters just a slightly stronger bunch of seafood?

We have almost reached Osaka!
Jiang Shaoxu was not too interested in fighting the sea monsters. The only thing she looked forward to was the food and shops.
She was a frequent visitor to Japan. Otherwise, why would she be so fluent in Japanese? Her seductive look when she was speaking Japanese always gave Mo Fan the urge to ask for seeds.

Come, I’ll bring you all to enjoy some delicacies!
Jiang Shaoxu was restless. She dragged the girls along with her and proceeded to her food paradise.
Osaka was indeed a food paradise; it would take more than a few days to try every dessert, quick bite, and snack here.
The girls in the team were all foodies. They completely forgot they had come to Osaka solely to challenge the institute, and quickly disappeared into the train station. They did not want any of the boys following them, saying that it would disrupt the romantic atmosphere…

Are they serious? Are we going to challenge the national embassy with just the few of us?
Mo Fan lacked the motivation when he saw the girls leave like birds flying away.



The national team mostly consists of university students. Are you seriously worrying that there are no girls there?
said Zhao Manyan.

You’re right, I almost forgot our mission is to spread our seeds across the world!
