"An artifact...and a spatial artifact at that?!"

The old man Miyamoto's vision went black, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded, almost fainting.

His hand holding the Kusanagi sword was trembling.

"And you say I'm making a fuss over nothing?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? A spatial artifact could probably take away all the artifacts in the Xia Kingdom."

Ironically, the old man Miyamoto was unaware that the relic that had been taken away as a national treasure came from Japan and was called the Yatsuhashi Maki-e Mother-of-Pearl Inkstone Box. If he had known, he would probably have vomited blood.

"I must say, you've done a good job keeping them safe for Xia Guo. Did you guess they would eventually come home?" Xia Xinghan asked without turning his head.

"..."

The old man Miyamoto was so angry that his face turned red, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat but he swallowed it back down.

The elderly man, well past seventy, was filled with anger and resentment. He was so angry that he almost rubbed his dentures together until sparks flew, and he wished he could stab him in the back.

"I'm not angry, I'm not angry. If I really stab him, I'm probably the one who'll die."

Old man Miyamoto took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mindset.

Following that, Xia Xinghan "visited" several famous private museums and the secret collections of major financial tycoons.

Some tycoons tried to block or move his collection, but they couldn't hide from his super hearing, super vision, and X-ray vision.

Even worse, some financial tycoons attempted to mobilize their private armed forces to stop them, but before Xia Xinghan could even make a move, the old man Miyamoto was the first to shout them back.

He didn't want Xia Xinghan to use this as an excuse to cause any more trouble.

The entire process was reported by several major Japanese television stations.

However, this damaged the country's image, so the authorities issued a ban. Several TV stations were forced to stop broadcasting due to the pressure. Only Toei TV was audacious enough to ignore the ban and continue to film and broadcast the entire process live!

Moreover, Toei Television even opened up live broadcasting rights to the world!

In an instant, countries and organizations around the world rushed to buy broadcasting rights and broadcast the show, viewership soared, and television stations made a fortune. The spectacle was comparable to the World Cup and the Olympics.

In the live stream:

Xia Xinghan, a small figure, moved freely through various treasure troves, accompanied by a group of top experts from Ying Kingdom.

He openly and legitimately reclaimed the lost treasures that he had only ever seen in books and picture albums.

Japanese officials and zaibatsu members dared not speak out, their faces contorted with resentment, their skin turning as red as a pig's liver.

The guardian of the Kusanagi sword followed behind like a bodyguard, his aged face so gloomy it seemed to drip water, yet he could only watch helplessly as the relic was "taken away."

Within the Xia Kingdom, countless netizens were in an uproar!

"Good heavens, that's... the Yohen Tenmoku tea bowl! We really got it back?!"

"It is hailed as the number one bowl in the world, a unique piece passed down through generations, a black-glazed porcelain from the Jian kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"Look at Xiao Rizi's expression, hahaha, he's so frustrated!"

"Look! Another one! Is that the 'Xiao Xiang River Reclining Tour' painting?!"

"And there's Wang Xizhi's 'Letter of Mourning and Chaos,' a masterpiece of calligraphy, its value is immeasurable."

"I heard that the original has long since disappeared, and this is the closest copy to the original from the Tang Dynasty."

On social media, hashtags such as #Kid'sTripToYingguo, #NationalTreasureReturnsHome, and #SinceWe'reHereAlready have already exploded, and national pride has soared to unprecedented heights!

Soon, netizens began to speculate about who this mysterious, strong yet adorable kid was.

They were able to retrieve the treasures that had been lost for many years without any hindrance in Japan, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Who is this kid? Is he Tōtendai? That's awesome!"

"I know, his name is Jiahao."

"Don't wander over, Jiahao's next door. I suspect that Kid Bro might have been bound to a super-rich system, spending hundreds of millions to buy all the treasures back to the country."

The hype has skyrocketed, and the entire internet is buzzing.

"The all-knowing netizens have found a clue! This kid's identity is terrifyingly powerful; he's suspected to be the Martial Ancestor!"

"What? Really? He's the mysterious Martial Ancestor!"

"That's right. According to information provided by a netizen from Wudang Mountain, he was once seen climbing the mountain with Gu Zhi Qiu, the legendary master."

"The timing matches the time when the Dao Ancestor and the Martial Ancestor discussed and created the Dao in the Golden Hall!"

"More news: Two mushroom clouds rose in Japan in one day, and a toilet was also bombed."

"This is awesome! Who made this? We should drink a big toast tonight!"

"Kid Brother is invincible, he should be honored in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

Another new trending topic has topped the list: the mystery surrounding the identity of the "Little Kid Brother," the toilet explosion, and the day of Japan's nuclear peace, among others.

"Master...Master..."

Gu Zhi Qiu stared at her phone, somewhat dumbfounded.

She thought Xia Xinghan had gone to Japan for some reason, but in just a few hours, he had done so many earth-shattering things.

In the end, they were surrounded by four powerful national-level experts.

Gu Zhi Qiu weighed the options and realized it was a good thing she didn't go. Going there would have been more of a burden than a disaster, as it would have blown up the fishpond.

Currently, all of the top ten trending topics on major social media platforms are related to Xia Xinghan.

For a long time to come, topics related to him will remain popular.

Master Zhang stroked his beard and laughed, "Hahaha, I thought you were just going to seek revenge, but I didn't expect you to do something so gratifying!"

"No, to be precise, there are two items."

"That felt great, truly great!"

Other countries and regions around the world reacted differently.

High-ranking officials in some Western countries watched the live broadcast with grave expressions, urgently reassessing Xia Xinghan's threat level and the potential strength of the Xia Kingdom.

Some museums and private collectors who had previously looted treasures from the Xia Kingdom began to feel terrified, tightening security overnight and considering whether to voluntarily "return" some of their collections for peace of mind.

Ordinary foreign netizens were filled with astonishment and curiosity:

"Is that child a god?"

"My God, what relics does he possess, and why are they so powerful?"

"A historic moment!"

"Now that the Xia Kingdom has recovered so many relics, its strength will probably increase significantly again."

Discussions on external websites are also extremely heated.

"Of the four ancient civilizations, only the Xia Dynasty has maintained its traditions unbroken, possessing a terrifyingly profound cultural heritage."

"I don't think so. Just a few days ago, there was a pharaoh's resurrection in ancient Egypt, and a solar boat sailed out of the pyramids."

"Tutankhamun's golden mask is hailed as the world's most important historical artifact!"

"Only ancient Babylon has been lost in the long river of history, and its spiritual revival has never been seen to this day."

"Ignorant! I've heard that the Code of Hammurabi has also been revived, and it originated in ancient Babylon! Its rank is no lower than that of Tutankhamun's golden mask!!"

Japan's mainland.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, angry, and stifling.

As people watched live as their "treasures" were blatantly taken away, while the guardian deities of the nation could only follow behind to "escort" them, a profound sense of humiliation and powerlessness permeated the entire country.

The internet is filled with lamentations and outrage.

Accusations of official incompetence and the weakness of the powerful are incessant.

Some even went so far as to curse Miyamoto, telling him to go to Akaishi.

But some people were secretly relieved that at least the terrifying child didn't throw another nuclear fireball.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy; their fear of nuclear weapons is deeply ingrained in their bones.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Xinghan lived a very fulfilling life.

He searched through all the lost treasures of the Xia Kingdom that he knew of and recovered them all; the space inside the Yahashi Maki-e Mother-of-Pearl Inkstone Box was almost full.

Finally, Xia Xinghan stopped and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, that's about right."

The old man Miyamoto almost vomited blood.

What does "almost the same" mean?

You've practically emptied out all the museums in Japan!
