Chapter 50: Real Lesson

Shi Tian was on the verge of erupting in anger, but his passive ability was preventing him from reacting in such a way.

'Curse this calmness passive ability! How am I still able to stay calm when I'm being toyed with?' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly. Though it was only momentarily because he knew this passive ability was a blessing at the end of the day.

Without calmness, one would easily make mistakes in tense or crucial situations.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Tian regained his composure and asked in a calm tone. "Why did you arrange such combat training, Master Isaac?"

"Oh, you're not mad that I'm toying with you?" Isaac Aaronax acted surprised and pressed on the matter purposely, especially when he mentioned the word toying.

Luckily, Shi Tian wasn't provoked by it and the more Isaac Aaronax attempted to provoke him, the more confident he became.

Sure enough, there must have been a reason behind this, including how he revealed that he was, in fact, toying with him.

That was the conclusion that Shi Tian had deduced after assembling all the clues together.

"If you really planned on toying with me, then you wouldn't have gone out of your way to bring me here. Hence, I believe you must have done everything according to your plan." Shi Tian answered calmly.

"Heh, you're right." Isaac Aaronax clapped his hands and smiled genuinely. "How could there ever be a fight in the first lesson? Of course, unless one is a crook and has no idea of what they're doing."

What Isaac Aaronax meant was no different than saying that only an inferior teacher would assign their disciple to fight in the first lesson. After all, a teacher must first be able to decipher and analyze how capable their disciple was before being able to plan anything else.

As for how they decipher their disciples, each teacher had their own unique method to do, and for one, Isaac Aaronax's method was truly uncommon.

"It seems like I have to be more cautious of your actions in the future, Master Isaac." Shi Tian smiled bitterly.

"Hahaha, you don't need to be that cautious against me, Nathan. At the very least, I have no intention of harming you," Isaac Aaronax laughed heartily, placing his hands on his hip, acting like a complete hooligan.

And it was only now that Shi Tian realized, one should never judge a person too fast until you know them for a while.

From their first interaction, Isaac Aaronax seemed to be a serious and dedicated person, always focusing on the business. Yet now that he got to know him further, the first impression was a complete lie.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Isaac Aaronax was no different than those old fogeys that enjoyed teasing or tormenting the younglings for some fun.

But then again, Shi Tian felt more comfortable than ever, knowing that Isaac Aaronax was willing to expose his true color like this meant that he had gained sufficient trust.

A few minutes later, Shi Tian finally asked, "So what are you teaching me exactly?"

Since it was clear that Isaac Aaronax wasn't trying to teach him fighting moves, then there really isn't a point in coming to this training facility in the first place.

Meanwhile, Isaac Aaronax turned silent for a few moments before disabling the formation within the room.

"The real lesson of today is to teach you to never believe what you see on the surface. Even if you think a situation is dreadful on the surface, there is always a path of survival, just like how you believed that you are incapable of fighting against the robot." He then said calmly.

And before Shi Tian was able to respond, he witnessed a robot appearing behind Isaac Aaronax. The robot was suspended in mid-air and seemed to be ready to strike at Isaac Aaronax.

"Master Isaac-"

Shi Tian wanted to call out the robot to warn him, but it was unnecessary because Isaac Aaronax suddenly smirked coldly and put on a weird glove.

The weird glove then made a churning sound, and under the eyes of Shi Tian, Isaac Aaronax had turned around and a light beam was shot forward.

The robot that was attempting to attack Isaac Aaronax from behind had its chest area blasted, and a large hole could be seen.

At the same time, a powerful shockwave occurred due to the light beam and a gust of wind despite them being in an enclosed area, a clear definitive of just how strong the light beam was.

Shi Tian was forcefully pushed back due to the blasting power whereas the robot that was struck, crashed into the wall, unable to move further. historical

As for Isaac Aaronax, he shook his hand a few times while some air was seeping out of the weird glove, making him look extremely cool and stylish.

"Phew, I haven't moved my body in ages, but it seemed like I still got it in me." Isaac Aaronax said.

Meanwhile, a hint of astonishment could be seen through Shi Tian's eyes as he never expected Isaac Aaronax to be hiding such a move in his seemingly fragile body. No wonder why he was told the first lesson was to not be deceived as to what was shown on the surface.

Truly, one should never underestimate someone or judge them too early.

Brushing through some of the dust in his clothes, Shi Tian made sure to keep his posture in check before cupping his fist.

"Master Isaac is indeed unordinary." He praised sincerely.

Although the robot was blasted to smithereens and didn't have the chance to showcase its prowess, Shi Tian was able to discern that it was a robot stronger than the one he had faced off with. After all, the aura he felt from the robot was far superior and powerful.

However, he was still confused as to how the robot appeared in the first place.

Didn't Isaac Aaronax disable the formation?

"Nathan, don't be deceived by what you see on the surface," Isaac Aaronax merely flashed a meaningful smile.

"Wait a minute.."

Suddenly, a bad premonition appeared on Shi Tian's face as he stared at Isaac Aaronax, but most importantly, he felt a chill in his back for some reason.
