Chapter 12 - The Brood

The process by which Adam decided to teach Lucius wasn't the standard one, children of the King family would be given some basic knowledge of the cultivation system and be taught, the process of becoming a tester was an arduous process for anyone, Vergers after millions of years of evolution and hard work eventually created the most optimal process for someone to become a tester, while not sacrificing any of the potential strength while shorten the length of time it takes for someone to advance within the realm of a tester. To become a tester one first needs to be able to sense the brood, a place within the mind of every verger, this in itself was the hardest step to accomplish.

Lucius himself took 2 years before he was able to accomplish this, from this alone he can be considered a genius among geniuses, one must remember that he began learning from Adam at age one, so he became a pseudo beginner tester at age 3. Yes even after unlocking the brood Lucius wasn't able to be called a tester at that point. Being a tester meant the creation of one's own telekinetic force, this was a special energy unique to every veger and wasn't something that could be copied. This power was gained through the exploration of the brood, "This seems somewhat similar to what people of my previous world calls the mind's eye" Lucius thought. Feeling around his brood within his mind, he felt nothing and all he saw was darkness at this point Lucius had to slowly search through his brood to look for the right telekinetic powers to suit him. As telekinetic powers varies from individuals as it carries a trace of elemental property for example, some telekinetic powers had freezing properties, and some had burning capabilities, etc.

"I wonder which elemental property suits my future battle style" Lucius once again thought. Looking on from the sideline Adam had an amazed look on his face, this grandson of his really was more exceptional than he thought, at only 6 months old he began to talk, therefore Adam decided to begin teaching at only a year old and within this time he has already gained access to his brood. "Only two years" Adam sighed in an amazement, "If only he came in a more peaceful time" Adam continued. Within these past 2 and a half years the situation within the civilization has only made him more worried, all three of the organizations were scrambling for various resources and manpower. Even school recruitment within this time for prestigious academy's such as the one on Mustique would be taking individuals as long as they showed enough talent. This is in fact a big deal, Mustique Academy was a school worth its prestige due to the amount of resources and the teaching aids they presented to its students, with a huge influx of new students due to this recruit drive it was obvious that the resources and time spent on each student wouldn't be the same as before. Even though he knew this, he wasn't too worried as Lucius was super prodigy no matter where he went or who he was compared to, even the core members of the various organizations, Adam believed that Lucius had talent superior to them if not the same. Lucius was still focused on the task before him, moving around in that dark empty space, suddenly a feeling occurred before Lucius he felt his consciousness leaving him, showing scenes of some moments he couldn't fully understand.

Adam from outside just saw blood coming out Lucius nose at this point he was worried wondering if he had a backlash due the fact he unlocked his brood so young, after a minute Lucius fainted. Adam worries at this point only grew, he quickly called for Lilith and let her carry Lucius to his bed. Even though he was considered powerful and knowledgeable on the planet of hairouna he was only a stage 3 breaker, he wasn't so sure what to do so he could only let Lucius rest and hopefully recover. If anything happened to Lucius because of him he couldn't forgive himself.
