Chapter 18 - 16 Special Ability: Extraordinary Spark
Chapter 18: Chapter 16 Special Ability: Extraordinary Spark
He had never been so serious even for the college entrance exam!
Unlike the studious Lu Yuan, Old Wolf, the academic slacker, was changing girlfriends every day.
After all, as a former Wolf King, his flirting skills had not diminished over the years.
That pink tongue was extremely agile, skilled in the art of licking, and with a little showing off of his considerable wealth, there were always gold-digging wolves that took the bait.
From this perspective, could the happiness of a slacker really be much higher than that of a study machine?
The pretty she-wolves, after eating a free lunch, started to stick around and refused to leave.
Occasionally, a few smart she-wolves seemed to know that Lu Yuan was the real boss and would deliberately lie at his feet, gently biting at his shoes, as if begging for his affection.
The studious, extremely annoyed Lu Yuan naturally did not hesitate to stroke their bodies!
"The belly soft and spongy, the back sleek and clean. The knee-wrist half curling like a ball, golden lotus three inches narrow. In the middle runs a river of passion, revealing what's that again... I forgot the front part, and the back part as well."
Wolves that had never had pups indeed had beautiful figures, gentle temperaments, soft fur, and upon counting, there were 7-11 offspring—truly gifted!
Sometimes, the wolf pack would also bring wild game, like wild rabbits, weasels, skunks, and the like, to help improve his diet.
Today, Old Wolf even dragged over a mountain chicken.
"Cluck cluck da!"
The mountain chicken stared at Lu Yuan with its eyes, showing an expression of unwillingness to die.
"What a pity it's a rooster; if it were a hen, I would have kept it for laying eggs."
Lu Yuan skillfully bled the mountain chicken, plucked its feathers, wrapped it in leaves, buried it in the ground, and made a dish called Beggar's Chicken.
While waiting, the scent of the meat was so tantalizing that it was hard to resist.
Damn it, how long has it been since I had KFC!
After half an hour, Lu Yuan dug the Beggar's Chicken out from the ground; the crisp skin and tender meat blended perfectly, and one bite filled the mouth with deliciousness, bringing out tears of bittersweet emotion.
Delicious!
"Awoo!"
The wolves couldn't wait any longer, wagging their tails, drooling non-stop.
Lu Yuan, wanting to enjoy the mountain chicken by himself, tossed them some "egg yolk pies"—okay, this was a new food he developed using bird eggs, starch, and minced meat.
He initially wanted to make bread.
But unfortunately, without yeast, it turned into a tough disaster, only fit to feed the wolves.
However, these creatures actually loved the egg yolk pies?
They even started fighting over them!
Lu Yuan watched them fight over food with relish and began to suspect in his heart that these wolves—were actually dogs.
Their ancestors might indeed have been left behind by the "Meida Civilization"...
After the extinction of the Meida Civilization, their ancestors roamed the Pangu Continent and over time, turned into wolves.
Now that they've encountered humans, the wolves have turned back into dogs.
"When I die, the dogs will once again transform into wolves."
"The so-called reincarnation is probably like this..."
After enjoying the mountain chicken, Lu Yuan tossed the chicken bones away, and at once, there was a "whoosh" sound—all the bones were snatched up.
Then they lay scattered across the ground, basking lazily in the sun.
"Simple happiness ah..."
Lu Yuan, who grew up in the city and never raised a dog, only felt hatred for the ubiquitous dog poop.
But now that I think about it, pets really can warm a person's heart; they easily feel happiness.
No wonder so many old men and women treat their dogs as their children, dressing them up in clothes and pants, and talking to them endlessly.
Because it's truly not easy for humans to feel happiness.
...
It was also on this day, in a nondescript archive room, that Lu Yuan finally found what he was looking for.
A paper entitled "Extraordinary Origin"!
[Author: Sein Hook.]
[...]
[We want to know, what is the origin of Extraordinary Ability? And what exactly is its principle?]
[Currently, the number of superpower users in our city who have awakened naturally is about 1.05 million, most of whom cannot cultivate.]
[Only a small number of abilities are cultivatable, that is, those that can enhance attributes.]
[Then there is a type of ability that not only can be cultivated but can also be taught to others. We call these rare abilities— 'Extraordinary Spark'.]
[When 'God' created the Pangu Continent, there were prompts of 'spreading the Extraordinary Spark'. Therefore, we have reason to believe that each branch of civilization will have at least one Extraordinary Spark.]
[How to spread the Extraordinary Spark to more tribespeople, enabling everyone to learn the methods of cultivation, is of utmost importance in the early development of each civilization!]
[Only by raising the strength of everyone can we cultivate enough talent to cancel the Safe Zone and truly step onto the Pangu Continent.]
[Unfortunately, we realized this far too late... It took us a whole hundred years to complete this step, while the Pangu Continent had already moved on by ten thousand years.]
[How many years did other civilizations take?]
"Extraordinary Spark!"
God really did say "spread the Extraordinary Spark" at one point.
Lu Yuan felt a chill in his heart. Each civilization has at least one 'Extraordinary Spark' ability user, but what about me? What should I do?
Even though I have four abilities, I lack the 'Extraordinary Spark'!
"God, I am also a civilization. Why doesn't the 18th human civilization have an Extraordinary Spark?"
He felt incredibly troubled. Being all alone, with his mood suppressed, he endured and patiently read here, simply wishing to embark on the Extraordinary path.
Yet he discovered that what his peers could easily achieve seemed like a vast chasm to him!
This result was like a cold bucket of water poured on himself.
...
Following that, the report introduced the general principle of the "Extraordinary Spark" ability.
The scientists of Meida Civilization divided the world's energy into two parts.
The first is the energy of the physical world, things like kinetic energy, potential energy, internal energy, and so on, which all belong to Physical Energy.
The second is the energy of the Spiritual World, which is also the source of various superpowers.
In the physical world, the aggregation of mass can form stars that continually radiate light.
In the Spiritual World, the convergence of thoughts can create an Extraordinary Spark.
[As long as a person is alive, they will continuously generate Spiritual Energy, which in turn nourishes their Spark.]
[The stronger the Spark, the better an individual's physical constitution.]
This is the origin of cultivation.
Of course, the Spiritual Energy a person generates on their own is limited; often, external resources are needed to supplement and accelerate the speed of cultivation.
A civilization that has not left the Safe Zone has very meager resources and struggles to cultivate very strong experts.
Also, there are differences in the Cultivation Talent of each individual. Some with poor talent can only absorb a tiny bit even with a lot of External Energy supplements, while those with Superior Talent can have Sparks that grow rapidly even without the addition of External Energy.
The "Extraordinary Spark" ability occasionally appears on wild monsters as well, and these creatures often stand out, evolving to extremely formidable levels.
