Knight of Marshall was a royal, and the owner of a fiefdom. Therefore, if anyone found out that he was madly running around like this, it wouldn't do any good to his dignity. However, because of Abel, the Knight of Marshall was willing to take this risk.

"Why does this child have to be a Novice Knight?" Master Bentham would often ask himself. Someone as talented as Abel should've never been learning how to fight on a battle's frontline. With Abel's ability to learn and the level he was currently, he would be a master blacksmith if he was to spent a few more years in the workshop. It was sad, yes, but that was just how things were.

What Abel learned on Earth was about relaxation—conserving one's life forces. It was about surviving and living as long and healthy as possible. Since guns weren't invented yet in this world, nobody was looking to live as long as possible. The only thing they were thinking about was to outlive their enemies, which meant being better at killing than anyone else.

"Ha, haha!" the Knight of Marshall laughed frantically as he started slapping the table with his hand, "Seth is going to be so pissed about this! If only he knew that his son was a genius! Oh, but he doesn't know, does he? Why else would he give Abel to me?"

Whoever this fool was, he didn't make Abel flinch. If anything, after running into him, he was bounced back three-meter from where he came from. His body flew in the air for a while, and his body started sliding for an extra two meters before he finally stopped.

"Seth!" The Knight of Marshall responded with a roar that was just as loud and angry. With his golden hair flying in the air, he approached the Knight of Bennett with the menace of a fully-maned lion.

How nice would it be if there were concrete roads in this world? While Abel was about to extend on his imagination, he also remembered his oath to not make any more inventions. Take the irrigation system, for example. Without the power to protect his and his family's property, anything creative that he does was going to bring more harm than the good that it brings.

Take Norman, for example. He had been a brother of the Knight of Bennett ever since they joined the war. He was granted the status of a knight only after he proved his loyalty, and was taught the Bennett family's secret techniques at a much later time. It was a rewarding journey for him, to say the least. For the many years of his dedications to serving the Bennett family, he was promoted from a regular guard to being the honored underling of a noble knight.

As it turned out, tai chi doesn't make you have a weaker punch. What it does is that it will make you appear weaker than you actually are. Whilst performing his moves, Abel noticed how much weaker his qi appeared in the mirror. If he was to tone down his tai chi, he was a rank four Novice Knight. But if he was to activate it, he could appear in whatever rank which he so desired. He could not pretend to be at a level that was higher than what he was actually at.

What about against other humans, then? Well, royals solved their disagreements with sword duels. Fighting with no weapon was considered foul and in some way, very disrespectful to one's opponent.

As buff as he was, Abel was still very humble. He had great respect for the fighters in this world. Whether it was a mercenary or a knight, anyone with a weapon could pull off a very impressive fight. That being said, though, most of them wouldn't know how to fight properly with their own bodies. If two men were to fight against each other with nothing but their bare fists, they would simply throw straight punches at each other and watch who went down first.

Abel saw what was coming for him, and he was ready to take it. He took out his Horadric Cube, revealed a bottle of the golden qi condensing pill, and opened its cap. He wanted to save it for later, but the challenge ahead wouldn't allow it. Not long ago, the Bennett Castle was a place that protected Abel's safety. Without it, he had to protect himself with whatever he could lay his hands on.

Hence, the blueprint of the wooden irrigation system was locked inside the Bennet family vault. As a nobleman who grew up knowing a fair share of things, the Knight of Bennett knew how life-threatening this device could be. If some high lord happened to know about it, he would most likely keep it all in his own family collection, meanwhile killing anyone who happened to know something about it. The Knight of Bennett was all too familiar with this sort of thing.

After the pipes were ready, Abel had the carpenter make him a full-size wooden bathtub, a wooden washing basin, and even a flush toilet with seat. For once, things were starting to look a bit modern.

After a long, hard thought to himself, Abel came to the conclusion that bamboo was the best option available. Once heated up with fire, it could be bent, hardened and used for a variety of construction work. Most importantly, it was extremely cheap.

To build his own irrigation system, Abel decided to find the carpenter of the Bennet Castle. He ordered the carpenter to build a water wheel. It was meant to be powered by the underground stream, and there would be some pipes connected to it to let the water flow inside a big wooden box, which would be stored on the top floor of the castle. Then, using some bamboo hardened with fire, pipes were built to let the water into the bathroom. Abel had bronze in mind at the start, but metal was far too expensive. There was no mine inside the castle. No blacksmith for hire, either. The Bennett family couldn't even use iron to make the pipes.

Norman picked up the shadow panther's corpse on the ground. Then, with a smile on his face, he removed the dagger from its backside and returned it back to Abel.
