Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Looking at the place where Sodes was, Taiya took a deep breath, adjusted his mind, and felt the surge of powerful force.

Taiya wasn't using the Potential Mark to harness the mighty power at this moment, but his purpose wasn't to do so. He was looking for a way to attack with Ryu-sakura. He longed to know what method would allow him to unleash the unique skill he had envisioned.

Taiya had long used Ryuo as a weapon for close combat. After mastering the Ryuo form, his attack range expanded slightly, but remained the same as close combat.

This idea had long been on Taiya's mind, but he had never put it into practice, or perhaps, he hadn't reached the right level before. That idea was to concentrate the mighty force into a near-tangible form, launching a long-range attack like a cannonball. While it might sound exaggerated, Taiya firmly believed it was possible. After all, he possessed the Mark of Potential, which would allow him to better control the mighty force.

Taiya excelled in physical combat, but his ranged attack was limited to his Storm Kick. He knew that the swordsman's strikes, like Roger's, carried a powerful force, and were incredibly powerful. However, he lacked a natural talent for swordsmanship, and for some reason, he hadn't inherited his father's skill.

Therefore, Taiya's Ryu-Okura remained a close-quarters attack. Refinements in the Ryu-Okura Spear and Ryu-Okura Body helped alleviate this dilemma, but it still wasn't comprehensive. He once attempted to combine his powerful force with his Storm Kicks, but found no success. He then experimented with his hands, but the results were disappointing, and the project was abandoned.

Trying to control the mighty force without the Mark, Taiya felt a great deal of effort, like trying to knead a lump of iron into a ball. Ultimately, he still needed to rely on the Mark of Potential. Come on.

Sure enough, it became much easier in an instant. Taiya could clearly feel the powerful force in his right arm flowing faster, and he could easily control its direction and speed.

"What means does Er Shang have?"

Seeing that Taiya was slow to act, Sodes took the initiative to launch an attack. His sword flashed, and he swung left and right. Two cold green sword auras rushed straight towards Taiya.

Taiya dodged with a leap, not a head-on strike. The two blades collided with the fence, leaving deep cuts. At this moment, when Fei Taiya attacked, he was still gathering the mighty power of his right hand. For him, this was the time to prepare.

With the power of the mark, the mighty force was condensed and organized, and everything was under Taiya's control, but the speed was slightly slow. The key was how Taiya launched it.

Taiya's first attempt at a one-handed Six Kings Spear failed because the force was too great, his arm unable to bear the weight. The excruciating pain, like an electric shock, forced him to stop. This time, Taiya wasn't entirely sure, but he could still try. If he failed, he could unleash his Ryuying Tai, defeating his opponent instantly and with that, the job would be done.

Soders was back in the same predicament as before, and Taia, with his agility, distanced himself from him. Soders's attack was unsuccessful, and he was frustrated that his speed was not enough to catch up with the opponent.

At this time, in the palace on the top of the mountain.

The man sat before the screen, cigar in hand, his eyes fixed on the scene. The scene before him puzzled him, but he remained silent. If Taia hadn't conceded, there were two possibilities: one was that he had no other options left, and could only use speed to wear down his opponent and wait for an opportunity to win; the other was that he still had a trump card, but it would take time.

However, he was not as calm as the man and gradually became anxious. He was puzzled by Taiya's actions and thought he had been defeated.

"Continue to watch the battle."

The man extinguished his cigar and shouted, and everyone fell silent.

After saying that, the man stared at Taiya on the screen and frowned slightly.

If you have any other means, please show them.

boom--

There was a loud explosion in the venue, and the air wave made the fence creak.

Taia held the fence with one hand, looked at Sodes on the ground, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"What a madman..."

Soders had just charged forward with a powerful strike, unleashing a massive slash, his fury palpable. The fence, already damaged by the prolonged battle, now cracked, revealing unsightly gaps. Taiya noticed Soders's attack pattern: his slashes were a combination of overlapping blows.

In other words, that strike was the result of multiple simultaneous swings, resulting in such power. Taiya wasn't concerned with the opponent's power, but rather the revelation this move offered him.

Taiya seemed to have found a way to release powerful force with one hand. The powerful force in his right fist was already concentrated enough, and he just needed to give it a try.

Leaping down, Thea rushed towards Soders. Thea's clenched right fist seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but the mighty force was so concentrated that it had reached the level of a drop of water forming a pearl.

Less than ten meters from Soders, Taiya struck out, punching with maximum force and speed. To withstand the force, Taiya quietly activated his Iron Crusher weapon.

A tremendous force erupted from Taiya's fist, and Taiya himself felt the force, and was pushed back several steps before he could steady himself. Sodes, on the opposite side, had already unleashed a series of slashing blows, but he was unaware of the powerful force Taiya had just unleashed.

It was not until the slashing blow was blocked and shattered by an unknown force that Sodes realized something was wrong and subconsciously used the broken blade to resist.

puff--

Soders spat out a mouthful of blood, flew towards the fence like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground like mud.

The broken blade made a series of knife sounds, splitting in the middle, and finally shattered completely with a snap.

Taiya also felt his blood boiling, and took a few deep breaths to regain his composure. At this point, Soders was unconscious and unable to fight, and Taiya won the battle.

The man clenched his right hand, crushed the cigar, fixed his deep eyes on Taiya, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You are an interesting person. I also want to fight with you."
