Listening to what Miyamoto Kuro said, this guy directly made off with the secret manuals of the entire Dongying martial arts schools.

Moreover, he absorbed and comprehended all their essence in the shortest time possible.

Such talent, the word 'genius' is absolutely well-deserved.

Just think, how could a martial arts fanatic like him come to Jinling and not be interested in the martial arts of various families here?

One must know that Huaxia martial arts, whether in quality or quantity, far surpass Dongying martial arts.

This guy couldn't possibly not be interested.

Now that there hasn't been news of any Jinling martial arts family in trouble, Xu Fan dares to conclude that he has not left Jinling yet.

As for the military's wanted notice, with his cultivation level, how could he even care?

Thinking about this, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

This guy should be interested in martial arts secret manuals, so why would he suddenly go to the military district to cause trouble?

What is the purpose?

"Uncle Guan, I want to ask, what did this guy steal from the military district?"

One must know that the military district doesn't use any profound martial arts secret manuals to train soldiers.

Could it be that this guy even plans to seize the military boxing secret manual?

"Well..."

When Xu Fan asked about this, Guan Shanhai couldn't help but have a headache.

Logically speaking, this is confidential and shouldn't be disclosed to Xu Fan, but now, the hope of capturing that guy lies with Xu Fan.

No longer hiding it, Guan Shanhai straightforwardly explained.

"The longsword in his hand is what he stole from the military district."

It was initially thought that this guy was a spy sent by another country with the intention of stealing important weapon blueprints, but that wasn't the case.

This guy had not the slightest interest in those highly confidential hot weapon blueprints in the military district, merely stealing a sword from the district's secret Treasure Vault.

"This..."

Hearing Guan Shanhai's explanation, that guy's purpose in infiltrating the military district was for a sword.

Being a martial arts fanatic, it's understandable to risk it all to infiltrate the military district for a handy weapon.

However...

Xu Fan recalled the content in the previous video, thinking about the sword in that guy's hand, something felt off.

The sword in that guy's hand was a genuine Japanese katana.

Judging from the video, the katana seemed to have a good quality, possibly a Demon Blade level, why was it in the Jinling military district?

"Xu Fan, do not underestimate our Jinling military district's Treasure Vault."

Clearly seeing Xu Fan's confusion, Guan Shanhai explained: "I dare not say the Treasure Vault has gathered all the divine weapons in the world, but it's certainly more than enough for you to pick a handy weapon."

This Treasure Vault is a warehouse specifically designated by the military district for storing cold weapons. It contains not only present-day high-tech cold weapons, but also some historically famous swords and blades.

These weapons aren't something any ordinary special forces soldier can access, only those with a certain cultivation level and military rank have the privilege to use them.

"As for the katana in his hand, it is a war trophy left behind after World War II."

"I see."

With Guan Shanhai explaining to this extent, Xu Fan naturally understood.

The guy previously stole secret manuals from various martial arts families in Dongying, probably because he heard rumors, which prompted him to come to Jinling for the sword.

If viewed this way, this sword likely has some significant origins, or else it wouldn't pique such great interest from his opponent.

"What is the origin of this sword?"

Curious, Xu Fan asked Guan Shanhai.

Since they have the sword in their collection, they should know its history.

Guan Shanhai smiled and said, "It's a Demon Blade, its name is quite famous, you should have heard of it."

"Ten-Handed Sword."

"Ten-Handed Sword?"

Hearing Guan Shanhai's explanation, a trace of surprise flashed across Xu Fan's face.

He now understood why the guy dared to risk going to the military district to steal the sword.

This Treasured Sword, no wonder...

The Ten-Handed Sword is also known as the Heavenly Tail Feather Katana, the divine sword that defeated Yamata no Orochi, frequently active in Dongying mythology!

It's said that this sword is the ancestor of Dongying swords, its whereabouts unknown till now, and now it's told to be stored in Jinling, Xu Fan found it hard to believe.

"Xu Fan, whether you believe it or not, what I'm telling you is the truth."

"..."

Seemingly worried that he wouldn't believe it, Guan Shanhai emphasized.

Xu Fan couldn't help but shake his head as he listened.

Whether true or false, he didn't dare speculate, just that the guy managed to escape the Jinling military district unscathed with this sword, indicates it's no ordinary item.

"Then now, what do you plan to do?"

Though a cold weapon may not have too much impact on the military district, watching the thief escape after injuring Old Master Guan's people, surely Guan Shanhai and the others wouldn't let it rest at that.

As expected, as Xu Fan asked, Guan Shanhai promptly responded.

"Xu Fan, I'm giving you an honorable task now."

"Catch that guy for us!"

"Pfft..."

Looking at Guan Shanhai's serious demeanor, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He shook his head and said, "Uncle Guan, I'm really sorry, but I'm truly busy lately with no time to handle this matter."

With so many troubles looming over him, coming over to treat Old Master Guan is the only thing Xu Fan could do.

One must know, the Huang Family is still watching like a tiger, where would he find the time to catch people for them?

"Kid, rest assured, as long as you handle this matter well for me, you'll be generously rewarded. By then, the Ten-Handed Sword will be yours!"

Not taking Xu Fan's refusal seriously, Guan Shanhai only thought Xu Fan was trying to negotiate terms.

He straightforwardly offered benefits to Xu Fan.

To the military district, face is more important than the Ten-Handed Sword.

Now being robbed as if it were a backyard, they must reclaim some face even if it costs them the Demon Blade.

"Uncle Guan, it's really not about the reward..."

Seeing Guan Shanhai's insistent expression, Xu Fan smiled wryly.

Now, he had no time at all to worry about any reward.

"I'm currently facing some troublesome matters, really can't free myself. Perhaps, you should consider asking someone else."

"Hmm?"

Xu Fan's demeanor made it obvious he wasn't bluffing, and Guan Shanhai frowned.

He thought, what trouble could be stumping this kid?

"Kid, won't you tell me, exactly what trouble have you encountered this time?"

Clearly, Guan Shanhai wasn't giving up yet.

The reason he was asking these was simple.

If their side could cover Xu Fan's problems, they'd help him out, and then have him assist them with their matter.

This way, it's mutually beneficial.

Without hiding it, Xu Fan directly said, "Well, there's a Hidden World Family, the Huang Family, that wants me dead now, you see..."

Xu Fan hadn't even finished speaking when Guan Shanhai interrupted him...
