Chapter 97: Volume 3 - 7 New Round of Self-Torture
The gravity device in the laboratory was originally designed to test the performance of Mecha under changing gravity conditions. Fatty used it to train control and hand speed; probably, he was the only one in the Federation who did this. Some people might have thought of it, but they didn’t have the conditions to train anytime and anywhere.
During the battle with [Vajra] while rescuing Russell, Fatty had understood the true meaning of Mechanical Combat. So, after his hand speed hit a bottleneck, apart from using various sneaky moves, his real training focused heavily on combining basic commands with fighting skills.
In Fatty’s view, being sneaky is in his nature, it doesn’t need training at all. He just didn’t know how Milan would react upon seeing [Logic] with that thing installed — whether she’d be so shocked she’d pass out, or she’d simply blow him away with random gunfire.
Since he needed to combine physical fighting skills with training, Fatty started browsing through data on various martial arts schools from Ancient Earth.
The combat data that had been passed down was really scarce. Milan helped search for quite a while and finally found a set of physical training data from an Ancient Earth military laboratory on an old computer in Professor Boswell’s lab.
Fatty was overjoyed with the discovery, hugging and kissing Milan passionately, his lips moving incredibly agile, like an elephant’s trunk. It was hard to tell if he was kissing or smelling Milan’s pink cheeks. Milan almost had to kick and push to escape his demon kiss, fleeing with a red face.
No wonder Fatty was so excited. This almost ancient Earth pre-Human Alliance human potential research data included grappling, combat, Hard Qi Gong and Martial Arts from various schools on Earth. Fatty had never seen or even heard of some of the research materials.
After humanity entered the space age, those materials were gradually abandoned because, for over a thousand years, the infantry as a military unit virtually disappeared. Close combat might have been a joke back then. The resource-rich humans invested heavily in war, with most attacks being long-range and most battles fought in the air.
