After learning that the team would receive resources to help them break through to the Advanced Level, nobody stopped in the city after arriving in Tokyo. They immediately departed the town for the maritime battlefield.

The fortresses at maritime battlefields were a special kind of wartime culture. The East Maritime Fortress in Tokyo had been popular for a long time. The battle between humans and sea monsters on the Pacific Ocean drawn with fresh blood and limbs had been going on for hundreds of years!

Between the ocean and Tokyo, a huge fortress was constructed by the shore. This was the East Maritime Fortress!

Looking down from the sky, the East Maritime Fortress was built in the shape of a crescent. The steel walls were no longer considered walls, but a magnificent dam protecting the modern city of Tokyo. Not only was it protecting Tokyo from the rolling waves, it was also stopping the armies of sea monsters from invading. It was called the Shield of Tokyo by the locals.

The Shield of Tokyo had two different layers. The height of the dam in the first layer was slightly lower, thus its defense was not as efficient.

The dam behind was extremely high. Even a sea creature over a hundred meters tall would have trouble crossing that line of defense.

The two dams were shaped like inward-curving arcs. The ends gradually combined, giving the fortress its crescent shape.

"This East Maritime Fortress looks rather new," said Jiang Yu.

"Mmm, apart from the materials used for construction, it doesn't look very different from the other cities. The streets were like squares, too," said Jiang Shaoxu.

"This is one of the four biggest maritime fortresses in the world, but it doesn't look like there's anything special about it. It's just very close to the ocean," observed Mu Tingying.

"Let's report in first." Nanyu walked ahead of them. She seemed to be familiar with the place.

The East Maritime Fortress was basically gray-white. There were streets, marketplaces, residential structures, tall buildings, and shops. The place did not have corpses of sea monsters scattered everywhere, as they had imagined. Instead, most of the buildings and streets looked relatively new. It was more or less a town built as a part of sea reclamation, with exactly the same style for most of the buildings. They almost thought they had come to the wrong place when they saw the huge crowds on the streets.

However, they discovered most of the people on the streets were Magicians. It was rare to see an ordinary person, as even the vendors of the stalls along the streets were Magicians. They were selling materials like the skins, claws, and organs of sea monsters, suitable for being forged into defensive equipment.

Mo Fan did not stay with the team. He already left with Mochizuki Chihaya as soon as they arrived in Tokyo. After all, he still had a terrifying orb in his hands. It was necessary to get rid of it as soon as possible.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Zhao Manyan and Mu Ningxue were only substitutes for the team. They would not receive any resources regardless of their performance, but they still chose to follow the team to get the training. After all, they could still improve that way. Training was even more important when Magicians felt like their cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Different experiences, continuous battles, the desire to grow stronger, and the determination to surpass their own limits were all provided through training!

"Nanyu, have you been here before?" asked Ai Jiangtu when he discovered that Nanyu was familiar with the area.

"Mm, I came here with a general a few years ago. It was my first time seeing such a huge-scale battle between humans and demon creatures. We're in luck, the tide hasn't risen," said Nanyu.

The others were gathering their focus to listen to Nanyu about her past experience here when a loud noise suddenly came from ahead.

The ground began to shake vigorously at to the voice. Even their heads felt dizzy all of a sudden.

Everyone subconsciously covered their ears. Ai Jiangtu and Nanyu were the closest to the front. They both glanced ahead and saw a pillar torn from one of the buildings flying at them!

"Holy shit!" Zhao Manyan was taken by surprise. He almost forgot to cast his spell.

The others did not expect the sudden accident either. The pillar was at least a meter wide and over ten meters long. It knocked all the lamp poles on both sides of the road down as it flew at the team.

"Dodge it!" a man with orange hair at the side of the road screamed at them.

The man was quite the hero. He realized Mu Ningxue was standing the closest to him, so he quickly cast Wind Track and pounced at her, trying to push her away.

The pillar was flying at the team at a remarkable speed. It was already in front of them. If they were only a bunch of Basic Magicians, the force of the pillar could easily smash them into minced meat!

"Telekinesis!" Ai Jiangtu glowed silver. His gaze sharpened as he faced the pillar. His aura underwent a remarkable change, as if there was nothing he could not control!

The wind produced by the pillar swept at the others, yet the enormous pillar shuddered when it was less than two meters away from the team and came to a sudden stop in the air, not able to move forward any further!

Ai Jiangtu's eyes were emitting a silver glow as he fixed his gaze on the pillar. As he slowly shifted his gaze down, the pillar was slowly placed on the ground in a strange manner.

"That's… Space… the Space Element!" The man with orange hair was stunned. His eyes were filled with excitement.

"Let go!" Mu Ningxue's icy voice snapped.

The man immediately collected his thoughts and apologized to her.

He was in a panic to save Mu Ningxue, thus he had one hand on her shoulder and the other on her back. He was going to drag Mu Ningxue to the side of the road.

Mu Ningxue was not fussed about it, knowing that the man was only trying to save her.

"That scared the shit out of me, I thought the pillar was going to smash you all to death," said the man with orange hair.

"You do know who to save though," mocked Jiang Shaoxu.

Mu Ningxue definitely had the highest rate of second glances when she was on the street. Her silver hair dangled behind her like a waterfall. It was particularly attractive to a two-dimensional kingdom like Japan. It was likely that the man had been stalking her, and immediately came to the rescue when the accident happened.

The man did take hold of the opportunity when happiness came all of a sudden. To his surprise, Ai Jiangtu had managed to stop the flying object with a single gaze. Most importantly, Mu Ningxue was also casting a spell, but she was suddenly shoved aside by a stranger.

"She was the closest to me, just that," the man tried to explain awkwardly. He quickly changed the topic and said, "I'm Hirose, nice to meet you..."

"No one wants to be your friend," said Zhao Manyan unpleasantly. Where the heck did this guy come from? He was almost scared to death by the man's scream even though it was only a pillar flying at them; speaking of making a big fuss over a small matter!

"Why would a pillar fly toward us… holy crap, guys, look!" Jiang Yu was in the middle of asking the question when an astonishing scene took place on the street ahead!
