Chapter 48: Full Throttle



Chapter 48: Full Throttle

A few minutes had already gone by since the robot spawned due to the formation room feature.

And during these few minutes, Shi Tian was completely on the defensive side, unable to gain any clear advantage against his supposedly cloned robot.

The robot was mimicking every one of his actions, but at a superior level, causing the battle to be more difficult for him.

'At this rate, I'm going to be exhausted and defeated without a chance of a comeback.' Shi Tian thought to himself, feeling a bit weary from deflecting most of the blows.

Each blow from the robot was powerful but consistent, meaning it was the same strength usage. Therefore, it soon became a constraint for Shi Tian, who had no choice but to block the strike whenever their distance was closed by the swift movement of the robot.

Nevertheless, a robot was still a robot at the end of the day. Its attack pattern and movement were programmed to be the same, meaning Shi Tian could take advantage of this fact and attempt to memorize and counterattack.

However, doing so would completely nullify the whole point of this combat training.

Robots could be programmed to do the same action repeatedly and consecutively, but humans are different. They wouldn't do the same action repeatedly.

"Ah, just go full throttle mode," Shi Tian gritted his teeth and decided to access the power of the mechanical right arm. Soon, a blue glowing light began to emit from the center of the palm, and with a thought, Shi Tian was propelled forward.

Shi Tian seemed to have turned into a bullet train, going directly to the robot as he raised his right arm and made a punching action.

The air was leaking out from the mechanical parts of the right arm, a clear definitive that Shi Tian was going all in with this singular punch.

Meanwhile, the robot's movement similarly seemed to have altered, shocking Shi Tian.

"It can't be…" Shi Tian was in disbelief to witness that the robot was long prepared for him to make such an action. Alas, even if Shi Tian realized it now, it was already too late for him.

BOOOM!

The punch connected, but not an ounce of happiness could be seen on Shi Tian's face. The force of the punch might look deadly at first glance, but only the person punching knew that it was an ineffective punch.

After the dust scattered away, the robot was still standing menacingly.

And as for Shi Tian, the status of his stamina had officially dropped to zero.

He then proceeded to plop to the ground, clearly exhausted from overusing his stamina. The activation of his mechanical right arm was quite taxing to his body, especially when he was still unused to its capability.

With Shi Tian laying on the ground, unable to fight further, the robot seemingly stopped its movement as well and a few seconds later, magically vanished from the scene. It was as if the robot was never in existence, to begin with.

Meanwhile, Isaac Aaronax came down from the platform and clapped his hands.

"Not bad, you've lasted a bit longer than I expected. Though the result was still a disappointment in my opinion." Isaac Aaronax said, giving his input on the fight process.

Shi Tian merely tilted his head slightly to glance at Isaac Aaronax while remaining completely silent.

What a joke!

It was way worse than disappointment, to say the least.

He was utterly overwhelmed by the robot from start to finish, and even when he decided to resort to using the hidden function of his mechanical right arm, it was still unable to turn the tide. contemporary romance

When Isaac Aaronax noticed the clear disappointed look on his eyes even though his facial expression didn't change at all, he was smiling widely.

'Heh, at least he isn't conceited to believe that it was a good result to last so long.' Isaac Aaronax thought to himself.

Overall, the time that Shi Tian managed to achieve was around 13 minutes, a decent result for a first-timer. That was if you count the time that he was repeatedly dodging or getting thrashed by the robot.

If one had to count the time that Shi Tian was taking the initiative in attacking, then it barely scratched the 2 minutes mark.

That was how pathetic Shi Tian was at utilizing his body's movement and action to fight against someone of equal, or possibly even better than him.

After all, the robot might have mimicked his physique, but its experience in fighting was far superior to the ignorant Shi Tian.

Sometime later, Isaac Aaronax brought a water bottle for Shi Tian to drink.

"Hydrate yourself first," He instructed.

Shi Tian didn't bother with the formalities and chugged the water down immediately. He was truly thirsty and hadn't had any liquid in his mouth for a long time.

The water was surprisingly pure, almost as if it was at the Potential Hydrogen (pH) level of 7, the perfect middle for water to be drunk.

"How is this possible?" Shi Tian asked in disbelief, clutching tightly at the empty water bottle.

Considering the pollution outside of Gearits City and how almost the entire environment was ruined, something like purified water had never crossed his mind to still exist.

"It seems like you are truly a foreigner without any knowledge of Gearits City." Isaac Aaronax laughed, almost as if he was teasing him for his lack of knowledge.

"..."

"I know you are doubtful of me, but shouldn't it be obvious by now that I'm not familiar with the structure of Gearits City?" Shi Tian said.

"Just that?" Isaac Aaronax raised an eyebrow before bursting into laughter again.

"If that's the only case, then I wouldn't be surprised, but man oh man. Just how did you manage to survive in the wilderness when your combat experience is practically worse than a newbie?"

After saying that, Isaac Aaronax continued to laugh heartily, prompting Shi Tian to twitch his brows.

"As expected… this was the real evaluation of my pathetic performance." Shi Tian mumbled softly.
