Time Travel: Age of Discovery

However, what was astonishing was that Teya did not dodge, but instead turned his hand and grabbed the bear's attack accurately. This scene shocked everyone present.

In the turbulent times of the Solbe Kingdom, Bartholomew Kuma, the king at the top of the kingdom, seemed to be able to easily stir up the mood of the vice admiral of the navy as soon as his name was mentioned.

However, Teya opened his thin lips with a cold look mixed with admiration: "You want to use force just based on your name, Xiong? Your ability to act is unique. Far from disliking you, I even admire you a little bit." After that, a deep and unfathomable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he could see through everything in the world.

Chapter 276, "A Fateful Reunion," quietly began. At that moment, Teya's hand gently gripped Xiong's wrist, like an iron clamp and chain, forcing even Xiong, a formidable warrior, to break free. His strength was beyond Xiong's expectations. After a struggle, Xiong finally gained his freedom. With his right palm, wrapped in the force of wind and thunder, he struck Teya, but Teya, a ghostly figure, effortlessly dodged the attack.

Teya thought to himself that while Xiong's speed was not ordinary, it was difficult to challenge him. Even the space-warping technique was like a toy in his hand. Thus, an extraordinary contest quietly unfolded between the two. The surrounding pirates and warships, tacitly agreed upon, remained motionless, awaiting the outcome of this powerful confrontation.

Although the battle was fierce, it was not a real fight, especially for Xiong, who had a thousand thoughts in his mind - he was actually stalling for time, because this was the intersection he had agreed with Long. He was about to embark on the journey of the revolutionary army, or rather, he had already been a member of it, and had endured until now only to protect the special person on the ship.

However, things are unpredictable. Teya proves to be far stronger than expected, forcing Xiong to place his hopes on his yet-to-be-arrived ally—the Dragon. Xiong is filled with mixed emotions, astonished by Teya's strength but also eager for the Dragon's arrival to resolve the situation.

Teya, standing by, keenly noticed the bear's unusual anxiety and wondered in his heart: How could this bear, which is as silent as a mountain, lose its composure like this?

Could there be something else going on? Teya's doubts, like a light in the fog, attempt to illuminate the truth. Meanwhile, Kuma, with a meticulously orchestrated "performance," silently weaves the future of the Revolutionary Army and the fate of those aboard.

In this battle between sea and air, Xiong had imagined countless extraordinary strategies, such as using his space-shaking might to gently lift the entire warship and sail it across the sky. But fate always seemed to play tricks on him. His nautical chart was not yet filled with stars, and the constraints of his mysterious companion on the ship forced him to restrain his edge and sail in a low profile.

The bounty followed him like a shadow, and every move required careful planning. Thus, Xiong transformed himself into a ghost on the battlefield, using his unique ability to travel through space to weave an invisible net around Teya, attempting to capture that fleeting opportunity.

However, Teya's speed was like a gust of wind, and each attack was like caressing the water surface, leaving only ripples. The bear himself seemed a little embarrassed in this chase.

Finally, after a clever tug-of-war, Xiong's eyes flashed with determination. He gathered the essence of the air, nurturing a fleshy "pressure storm" in his palm, and blasted it towards Teya with thunderous force. Although Teya nimbly dodged it, the moment the pressure storm hit the ground, it erupted with a deafening roar, and dust covered the sky.

In this chaos, Xiong vanished once more, using the secret of spatial teleportation to penetrate the heart of the warship. He knew that the fight with Teya was not a long-term solution and that he had to break the deadlock. A hidden worry lingered in his heart—would the legendary dragon quietly descend upon him?

Hovering beside the warship, the bear slowly opened its right hand, as if to embrace the entire battlefield. Aboard the warship, Tina and Smoker launched a simultaneous attack, their "Iron Cage Spear" and "White Fist" clashing with each other, only to discover to their surprise that their target wasn't each other, but the steel behemoth carrying countless naval forces.

"If you long to travel, why not..." The bear's words echoed in the air, but before he could finish, he vanished into thin air again. And Teja, like a provoked lion, suddenly appeared in mid-air, a kick poised for a strike, his gaze fixed on the bear's shadow as it sprinted toward the shore. "Your battlefield is only here!" Teja growled, then transformed into a flash of lightning, chasing the bear.

On the shore, Xiong stood firm, hands poised, eyes blazing, ready to meet Teya's unstoppable charge. Thus began a decisive battle of honor and conviction. The pirate ship's deck erupted in a frenzy, with cries of alarm echoing from the crowd. Like frightened birds, they scattered, leaving a trail of chaotic activity in their wake.

Teya narrowed his eyes in a leisurely manner, as if everything was under control. At this moment, a light bubble of air miraculously appeared between the bear's huge palms. It rose slowly, like the most gentle dewdrop in the morning light, and slowly floated towards Teya.

"Bear Paw - Phantom Blast!" Bear's deep voice rumbled like thunder. As soon as the words left his mouth, the seemingly harmless bubble instantly expanded, becoming a hundred times larger, like the roar of a deep-sea monster, triggering a world-shaking explosion. The sea surface boiled, and huge waves rolled. Even the two ships in the distance felt the tremors of this force, as if the end of the world had arrived prematurely.

The people on the boat huddled together, their arms folded like shields, trying to block the raging wind, but even so, the strong wind still made it impossible for them to open their eyes. They secretly marveled in their hearts that this blow was beyond human power.

The aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided. Beneath the sea, a gaping hole had been torn open in the previously silent sand. Seawater surged in, filling the sudden void. For a moment, tranquility returned, as if nothing had happened. Only Teya had vanished without a trace.

Xiong slowly lowered his arm and pulled out the mysterious book from his clothes. His eyes revealed an inexplicable certainty, as if he had already declared the end of the battle.

“Teacher Teya——!” Tina’s cry pierced the sky, her voice filled with disbelief and sorrow, as if the whole world had lost its color.

Deep within the cabin, a man, lost in thought, was awakened by the sudden explosion. Then, a familiar name pierced through the din and struck his heart. He snapped his eyes open, a complex emotion flickering in his pupils. "Te... Teya?" The name struck his heart like a hammer.
