When an object's speed approached the speed of sound, the air resistance around it surged in a short time, creating tremendous drag that hindered its movement and prevented it from going any faster. This phenomenon was known as the sound barrier.
The phenomenon Dilos was encountering now was the sound barrier. He felt as if he'd returned to his past life, when he practiced Guoshu underwater with weights strapped to his body, trapped and barely able to move.
"Damn it! Is this really my limit?" Dilos cursed inwardly. "No, if my speed is capped here, I'm in trouble. Don't fail me at such a critical moment!"
Dilos roared inwardly as he twisted his body furiously and tensed his muscles even harder. Ignoring the damage to his meridians, he circulated the vital energy and blood within him at an even greater speed, forcing his body to violently shove aside the obstacles. He pushed his power higher and higher, and then...
He surpassed his limit, brutally forcing the obstacles aside!
Boom!!
With a thunderous crash like an explosion, a web of cracks ten meters across appeared in the concrete road beneath Dilos's feet. At the same instant, Dilos himself shot into the sky, reaching a point four hundred meters away.
Dilos had now broken the sound barrier. His speed generated powerful pressure waves wherever he went. The force also compressed the air behind him until it became almost solid, condensing the moisture in it and making it seem as if a cloud were following him.
At that moment, Dilos felt as though all the sounds around him had receded into the distance. The oppressive air that had weighed on him before suddenly felt much lighter. For a moment, he sensed more than ever: he could easily feel the air compressed almost to
