Chapter 63 - 60: Powerful Combat Skills
Lu Yuan also sincerely cultivated the "Extraordinary Spark" left from the Meida Civilization.
One of the benefits of possessing a civilization’s heritage was that he didn’t need to painstakingly conduct his research; it could be used readily—even though the Meida people and humans have very different body structures, many principles were actually the same.
The Meida Civilization had evolved for over three hundred years and possessed a well-established system for talent education and scientific research.
This information was enough for Lu Yuan to study for a very long time.
The Level 2 Extraordinary Spark was even more powerful, being able to partially release Ideal Energy externally and thus evolving many more application techniques.
Lu Yuan discovered that his cultivation talent was ordinary, but in learning and applying techniques, he was truly a prodigy!
Most simple techniques he could learn in just a few hours!
Even the more complex ones took just three to five days to master.
This was likely influenced by the "Eternal Body,"—the "non-degrading" ability offered huge latent benefits, significantly improving his memory and, in tandem, his muscle memory.
"Light Screen!" A slight flicker of flames crossed Lu Yuan’s mind.
A thin layer of light rose from the surface of his skin, a combat technique called "Light Screen."
The basic principle was, with the power of the Extraordinary Spark, to temporarily enhance the muscles and bone strength in the illuminated area, increasing both power and anti-hit capabilities.
"Thud!" He punched a big tree heavily, and a shower of snowflakes fell.
"Arroo?" Old Wolf was dumbfounded watching this.
Doesn’t that hurt your fist?
It bit on the tree trunk and almost shattered its teeth.
Lu Yuan laughed heartily; he felt only a tingling in his fist but no real pain, a benefit of the temporary enhancement in anti-hit capabilities.
"Sky Soaring Kick!"
In an instant, Lu Yuan sprang ten meters high from the snowy ground. His body was incredibly agile, like a large bird sweeping across the sky.
Even Old Wolf was stunned by this scene, and saliva dripped onto the snowy ground.
Normally, with his Attribute of "Shape" at Level 12, he could not have jumped ten meters, but with the temporary boost from the "Extraordinary Spark," he was able to erupt with strength that exceeded his natural attributes.
"Mountain Shifting!" Lu Yuan, feeling exhilarated, shouted again and moved a massive stone weighed several tons.
The big stone flipped over, revealing a small snake hibernating underneath. In the cold winter, the little snake could hardly open its eyes, so Lu Yuan decided to have some extra food for today.
"Jack!"
Lu Yuan extended his hand to try lifting this stone again, but this attempt failed; he hadn’t cultivated to that level yet. The stone almost crushed him.
Overall, these temporary enhancement techniques were not superpowers, yet they were better than superpowers!
This made him secretly marvel at the power of a civilization. They had advanced the usage of the Extraordinary Spark to the next level—both offensive and defensive, truly an all-powerful ability.
Only by popularizing the Extraordinary Spark and everyone learning these techniques would one be qualified to explore the Pangu Continent... If Earth People and the Meida people met face to face, Earth People would definitely be ruthlessly slaughtered.
Especially in close-quarters combat, even if the Meida people used melee weapons and Earth People used firearms, Earth People would still be disastrously defeated—the difference in combat levels was too great.
As he thought about this, Lu Yuan suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance.
He quickly stopped cultivating and ran to the kitchen, opening the lid of the steamer: a thin sea of fog wafted out.
A pot of corn honey steamed buns was ready!
Especially in this cold winter, the piping hot buns were extremely appealing.
Gently biting into one, the bun was soft, and the honey mixed within brought a cloud-like lightness.
"Next year’s reward for the wolf pack has been secured."
For this steamed bun, he had gone to great lengths.
Corn and honey were easy enough; they were pillaged from other animals. He would just raid again when he’d used them up.
But the real hassle was extracting the yeast. Without yeast fermentation, the buns would turn into lumps of dense dough, hard to swallow.
As for the yeast extraction... it was simple. He mixed flour with water and left the dough in a place with the right temperature.
After a while, some of the dough masses would show colorful mold on their surfaces.
These were failures and had to be discarded.
Others, however, would develop a white or gray filmy substance on the surface—this was the famed yeast.
If broken open and an alcohol smell was detectable, one could be even more certain it was yeast.
After all, only the anaerobic respiration of yeast could metabolize alcohol; other microbes couldn’t produce alcohol.
(Lu Yuan would never admit that his Pioneer’s Eye could directly identify if yeast was present.)
This flour could then be used as yeast powder for steaming buns.
Or perhaps... for brewing?
Lu Yuan felt tempted, "Yes, brewing! The wine made from Rare Level natural fruits, I wonder what it tastes like."
Such luxury!
But the current weather was too cold; he’d wait until next spring.
After all this hustle, Lu Yuan packed up the steamed buns, grabbed his Fire Lizard Shield, and set off with a swagger.
Old Wolf quickly followed, darting in front and then wagging his tail, Are you going to steal corn again? Isn’t there still some corn left?
Lu Yuan squeezed two words through his teeth in a frenzy, "Fight bear!"

"I’ve wanted to hit that she-bear for a long time."
The Extraordinary Spark in his mind blazed fiercely, demonstrating his own momentum and dignity.
A Level 2 Extraordinary Creature, indeed quite different from before.
He was set to have a sparring session with that bear, aiming to gain some real combat experience!
Soon, he arrived at his destination.
Winter had not yet passed, and the maternal bear and her cubs were still asleep near the giant corn tree, with thunderous snoring resonating through the air.
Because Lu Yuan recklessly radiated the power of his Spark, he woke the bear from a distance.
It emerged from its den, stood up on its hind legs facing Lu Yuan, and roared, "Roar!"
[Pangu Grizzly Bear]
[Shape: 14.8-19.2]
[Qi: 6.9-8.2]
[Spirit: 1.1-1.4]
[Ability: Strange Power Technique, significantly boosts strength for a short period.]
"Roar!!" The bear was furious, bristling every strand of its fur.
It’s you again, annoying, isn’t it? Coming here every now and then?!
"Spar with me and I’ll reward you with food," Lu Yuan said cockily, unafraid as he held the shield in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right, approaching slowly.
He didn’t need the Superior Level dagger for this; using that would be too unfair to the bear.
He did not intend to kill the bear.
