Reboot: Mechanic-Chapter 47: Combat Training

The formation room was like a wrecking ball, shocking the very cores of Shi Tian. He didn't expect that such fantastical action would actually be true and that he had witnessed it himself.

The supposedly spacious room seemed to have changed completely despite the interior staying the same.

Clenching his fist repeatedly, Shi Tian felt as if his strength had increased tremendously. Yet at the same time, he felt there was a heavyweight imposed on his body.

"What is this strange feeling?" Shi Tian muttered softly, turning his head slightly to the right, and looking at Isaac Aaronax for some clarification.

A formation room was a term unfamiliar to Shi Tian, so he didn't know what exactly had occurred or changed to be precise.

"Heh, a formation room is a rarity even in Gearits City. And one must have some knowledge to operate a formation, which was the main reason why I'm highly sought after." Isaac Aaronax boasted pridefully, almost as if he wanted Shi Tian to understand just how amazingly awesome he was.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian rolled his eyes, clearly unfazed by his boasting. He was more interested in the function of this supposed formation room than to hear that Isaac Aaronax was a capable person to operate it.

He might be cripple previously, but he was never blind. Isaac Aaronax had already demonstrated his capability to operate the formation room, so what was the point of hearing him boasting again?

"Can we get to the point already, Master Isaac?" Shi Tian asked politely.

Isaac Aaronax twitched his brows slightly, clearly not expecting such a reaction. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

'Did he really lack common sense or does he know I'm that amazing already?' Isaac Aaronax exclaimed inwardly.

Sometime later, Isaac Aaronax decided to explain the function of the formation room rather quickly and began to instruct Shi Tian to get into a battle stance.

Since it was crystal clear Shi Tian wasn't interested in learning his impressive sea of knowledge, it was best to just get the show on the road.

"Nathan, there is going to be a robot being formed soon that matches your strength, so try your best to defeat it." Isaac Aaronax informed.

Shi Tian nodded his head in response.

The formation room had already scanned his body according to Isaac Aaronax to determine the user's capability and prowess which it will then create a robot that duplicates them. Essentially, it can be considered that Shi Tian was tasked to fight himself.

'Fighting a clone of myself… I suppose this is to ensure that we can figure out our strengths and weaknesses in one fight.' Shi Tian thought to himself, readying himself for a battle.

Just when Shi Tian thought a robot would be spawning right in front of his eyes, he felt a cold chill in his back.

And almost as if it was a natural instinct, Shi Tian's body seemed to have a mind of its own as he dashed forward.

The moment Shi Tian dashed forward, a powerful punch was struck just a few meters behind him in his previous position, and to his shock, he realized the robot had already begun its attack.

Unable to waste a single second pondering, Shi Tian kicked the floor swiftly using his right leg, propelling himself forward to avoid another strike from the robot.

Once he was able to extend the distance between himself and the robot, Shi Tian could now turn around and get a clearer look at the robot.

The robot was covered in some form of metallic material, with its body proportional figure to be quite similar to his, making it seem like it was an actual human being.

"If there was actually a facial feature on this robot's face, then it could really pose as me…" Shi Tian muttered, feeling somewhat aghast. It was only now that he realized just how dreadful this formation room was capable of being released to the public or used against its enemy.

He didn't even realize when the robot spawned when it had already begun to launch its attack toward him.

Meanwhile, Isaac Aaronax had elevated himself on a platform and was overseeing the fight from above.

At the same time, he was gloating a little bit since he purposely didn't mention one of the key features of the formation room which was the ability of the robot to commit sneak attacks.

Most of the time in terms of combat training, the user should be able to know when the enemy spawns and when or where they will launch an attack.

However, what was the point of that kind of training when compared to real-life combat?

No enemies would be foolish enough to announce their arrival or when they would launch a sneak attack to gain a massive advantage.

Hence, Isaac Aaronax refrained from warning Shi Tian that the combat training had begun the moment he had activated the formation room and even attempted to distract him by explaining some random information.

"Good luck, Nathan. I wonder how many minutes you could actually last." Isaac Aaronax murmured, seemingly looking forward to the result.

CLANK!

While Isaac Aaronax was enjoying the show from above, Shi Tian started clashing with the robot directly, using his mechanical right arm to deflect the strong jab from the robot.

Due to both being metallic, a sharp and loud clanking sound was created, with even some sparks flying around.

Seeing the sparks flying around, Shi Tian knew that colliding head-on wasn't the ideal choice and decided to raise his right leg to kick the chest of the robot.

Alas, the robot seemed to have detected his action and was able to defend itself by retreating backward.

Although a bit disappointed in being out macro like so, Shi Tian quickly regained his composure and used this as an opportunity to ponder over his previous mistake.

'The material of the robot seemed to be the same type as my right arm, so confronting head-on would be a backlash for the two of us.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, his eyes remained locked on the robot, clearly extremely cautious of its next action.
