After that, Chen Shouyi continued experimenting with his Control Atmosphere ability for a while before finally giving up on the idea of developing it.
Its pitiful attack power couldn't even knock over the tiny Shell Girl. It was only good for dealing with ants.
He'd thought this ability was nothing but a useless gimmick, good only for showing off.
But it wasn't long before Chen Shouyi realized it wasn't entirely useless.
He discovered this while practicing his swordsmanship.
His sword strikes were incredibly fast now. After his Agility had increased by another 0.1 points, a simple Sting Sword could reliably break the sound barrier on Earth. Even here, in this other world with three times Earth's gravity, it could still reach around three hundred meters per second.
At such speeds, the air was practically like liquid.
When he thrust his sword, he could clearly feel the powerful air resistance, which seriously hindered him from increasing his speed any further.
But today, he'd noticed that several times, the resistance had been considerably weaker when he thrust.
As his sword shot forward, it seemed that a little air had already parted to either side on its own, as if some invisible force were separating everything in its path.
