<strong> Chapter 1826 – Can’t Bully People</strong>


    ck Steel didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Han Sen’s hand and lowered himself down.


    Han Sen grabbed the nearest de and let ck Steel dangle slowly downwards.


    ck Steel’s fingers were so close to the prize he wanted: the horse knife. His forehead dripped with sweat, knowing that he was making a risky move. If they did something to detonate the grave, they would die right then and there.


    ck Steel’s hands weren’t shaking, though. He got close to the horse knife that was still half within the juice. And very carefully, he drew the knife out.


    He moved with precision, bringing the knife out slowly to avoid creating waves. It took him an entire minute to remove it fully.


    Suddenly, a drop of sweat dripped off of ck Steel’s face. It fell into the steel juice, and then, shaa! White smoke billowed up.


    The steel juice bubbled. The knives began to rattle and shake. They were pointing at the pair, freezing them in ce.


    After a while, the knives and the steel juice settled down again.


    ck Steel put the knife away and nodded up at Han Sen.


    Han Sen acknowledged ck Steel’s signal and then slowly pulled him up. He brought him back to the wall of knives they hade down from.


    ck Steel was now carrying his new knife, which was slung across his back. He signaled Han Sen, and then they climbed back out of the volcano. They did so in tandem, as quietly as they could.


    When they both climbed out of the Knife Grave, ck Steel looked relieved. His clothes were soaking wet. The stunt they had performed was too dangerous, and he had very nearly been killed.


    ck Steel looked at Han Sen. He noticed Han Sen standingfortably beside him, as if he was entirely unshaken. Like he wasn’t bothered by the risk they had just taken. His forehead was dry and without sweat, like nothing at all had just happened.


    “I don’t know if he is ignorant or arrogant,” ck Steel thought to himself. Regardless, his view of Han Sen was starting to change.


    “You own half of this knife, so we should talk about how best we split it.” When they were down off the mountain, ck Steel pointed at the knife and said this.


    “I don’t need it. Consider that my service fee, paid in full. When I need to identify one for myselfter, perhaps you can help me with that” Han Sen smiled.


    “Do you know what knife this is?” ck Steel asked.


    Han Sen shook his head. “What is it?”


    The weaponcked an energy signature, and with Han Sen not being an expert, he could not discern the level of the de. “This is an Earl weapon,” ck Steel said.


    “An Earl? I thought it might be higher. I need one that is at least a Duke. You can help me find one like that, okay? With a bit of luck and a sprinkle of hope, it’ll be a King. It’d be even better if it was deified.” Han Sen looked grossly dismayed, and he didn’t seem to think much of an Earl knife.


    ck Steel slung the knife back over his shoulder and just ignored Han Sen. He found a ce in the foothills to sit down, where they could wait for the next round of rain.


    It took a long time for it toe, but it looked set to begin again soon. While they were talking, a loud noise sounded. The Knife Grave erupted and a pir was fired into the sky. Then, the rain of knives began to fall.


    ck Steel took out his horse knife and chucked a Baron ss knife to Han Sen. Han Sen’s Baron weapon swiftly rose to knock away the knives that were falling from the sky.


    That round was mainly about using ordinary weapons. So ordinary, not even Baron weapons were necessary. They got through it with ease.


    “Why don’t we enter the Knife Grave again? Perhaps a high-tier weapon might now be found,” Han Sen suggested.


    ck Steel shook his head and said. “After the second wave, many of the weapons on the walls are Baron. Their power will be stronger. If you touch them, they’ll immediately start rioting. Unless you can fly in and out, you won’t be able to get back down there.”


    Han Sen looked disappointed, and he gave up on the idea of heading back.


    Together, they both endured another two washes of knife rain. After the fifth storm, ck Steel decided to head to the mountain and take a look. He looked at the knives in the mountain, and then returned.


    “Little ck, does your family have a deified knife? Does anyone have deified treasure in Narrow Moon?” Han Sen asked, curious what the young man would answer.


    ck Steel just ignored him. The best way to deal with Han Sen, he had now figured, was keeping quiet.


    After five waves of rain, it would still be difficult to find another Earl weapon. If their luck wasn’t too poor, they could at least find a Viscount weapon. ck Steel wanted to find a Viscount weapon right now.


    They walked around for a bit before stumbling across three others who were also in the pursuit of another weapon. Those three saw Han Sen and ck Steel, and decided toe over to greet them.


    “ck Steel, why are you with him?” A Rebate with gold ears looked at Han Sen and then frowned at ck Steel.


    “I stand with whoever I choose to,” ck Steel said coldly.


    The woman looked a little p*ssed after the rebuttal, and a Rebate man that was beside her said, “ck Steel, don’t be so arrogant! You are only the son of ck-Moon King. If you are as good as you pose yourself to be, howe Knife Queen did not ept you as a student, instead of this useless outsider?”


    A strange-looking outsiderughed and said, “He couldn’t be Queen’s student, but he can be friends with the student himself! Ha. Maybe when he gets close, he thinks Queen will soften, and then ept him as the next student.”


    ck Steel pulled out his knife and swung it with rage.


    The outsider raised his knife and fought back. But he only had a Baron weapon, and it was quickly shattered by the horse knife.


    To the outsider’s shock, he was then cut in half. His blood spread across the ground.


    “That... is that an Earl’s weapon?” The man and woman trembled. They looked right at ck Steel’s horse knife.


    The man yelled at ck Steel and said, “ck Steel, are you really killing people here! Do you think you can do anything you please?”


    “Whoever insults Queen will die,” ck Steel said icily, not even looking at them.


    The man and the woman were still reeling from shock. It was supposed to only have been a bit of chit-chat. If this event went public, it’d be a death wish. But if people knew it was the outsider who had insulted Queen, they would think ck Steel had performed a good kill.


    “Huh.” The man hummed and did not say anything. He looked at Han Sen and said, “The student that Queen epted must be decent. I want to learn from you.”


    The man no longer dared to provoke ck Steel, who had an Earl weapon. So, he was going to take out his angst on Han Sen.


    “You own half of this knife,” ck Steel said, before tossing the horse knife to Han Sen.


    The man was angered by this, and he said, “ck Steel! You...”


    Han Sen threw the knife back to ck Steel and smiled. “I am Knife Queen’s student. Using this would be bullying, so instead, I’ll use this.”


    After that, Han Sen picked up a random knife off the ground. It was ordinary, and didn’t even have a rank.
