Soverick took the remaining liquid life force and said to Hadrick. "You can go now. I can feel that you're still afraid."
"Freedom," Hadrick screamed.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ Soverick chuckled before reminding him. "This should be enough for now but I'll call you if I need more."
Then he began to wholly concentrate on building his vitality core, the high influx of life force demanded it. It would take a day before he uses up the vitality in his body, then there is still the extra he has. He might falter in his concentration and cause the tribulation to descend. So he could let Hadrick go, for now, there was no use bearing unnecessary risk. It will be better for him to focus on his breakthrough instead.
The rate at which soverick and his siblings are growing is not normal. In the ancient days before the advent of bloodlines, the time it took to reach the vitality core stage could be up to 10 years. Even the fastest method which entails the use of life energy will still take 2 years at the minimum. The stage before the vitality core is called body forging and the normal training method is to perform exerting physical activity that will push the cells to the limit. There is mana in almost everything around us but the cells of the battle sage monkeys don't have the innate ability to process mana, they are more inclined to use spiritual energy. This spiritual energy isn't referring to the modern-day energy of the soul but the by-product released by plants from the processing of mana. In most planes, animal life isn't equipped to process mana, plants are the first to utilize mana for their growth. The plants will then release certain energy that animals can utilize. Animals can then break their limits by imbibing this energy either indirectly, such as staying around places with it, or directly by eating the plants. But this is a temporary solution, this energy can only take them so far. So they pushed their cells to the limit to enhance their metabolic capacity in the hopes that the cell will try to rely on other sources of energy. In the best scenario, the cells will be pushed to adapt to mana directly because mana is a very abundant source of energy. In this case, the body will become a mana body, this is the first major step on the path of refinement.
In most cases, such a leap in life order is much too difficult for the cells to take. Instead, the cells will opt for the much easier vitality core stage. The cells will fail to adapt to mana but the exertion they have gone through will increase their cell activity and potential until they come to possess excess vitality. This process will continue until the body has accumulated enough vitality, and it is the first stage in breaking through to the vitality stage, the passive stage. Taking this route will enable the organism to create an organ specifically for the metabolism of mana. It will elevate the capacity of the organism but it still cannot compare to the acquisition of a mana body.
In the case of those with awakened bloodline, the entire process of making cells adapt to mana is skipped. Soverick and his siblings were born capable of it, that's why they didn't need to eat at all. Their body is an incomplete mana body, or to be precise an incomplete origin body. Their incomplete mana body allows them to speed up their growth process and refinement. The advantage will not end until they become titans. Titans of law also possess an incomplete origin, it is a by-product of their breakthrough. The fact that kids with royal bloodlines have this type of body means that the chances of them succeeding in becoming titans is at least 50%. The reason why they don't just skip over the vitality core stage is that their ancestors didn't skip it, so they can't. The bloodline cannot help them do what their ancestor cannot do at all, it will only help them do what their ancestors did easier and better.
Soverick can skip the vitality core stage but he doesn't want to because there is an important ability that he wants to gain from it. He hopes to lay the foundation for an exceptional transcendent existence.
The ability of his cells to convert mana to vitality is why he can acquire enough energy for his big vitality core. Unlike other children the process of mana conversion is passive, they can't control the output so they can't have a big core like his. It is why the officers at the department of family affairs were startled at the sight of the energy reaction going on in his cells. He has full control of the conversion because he is the source of the bloodline and can thus provide as much energy as needed for his breakthrough.
The addition of pure life force only expedites the process and makes faster progress in his breakthrough until he had to stop a few minutes later. Someone rang the alarm for his door.
He opened his eyes in irritation. He could use his divine sense to communicate with whoever is at door but he had been hiding the fact that his soul was awakened. No one knew he had a divine sense. So he would have to stand up and open the door which irked him.
"What is it?" He asked impatiently as soon as he opened the door. Kayla was on the other side of it.
"King Ghoto is back. He brought the items with life energy." She replied.
"Right," Soverick remembered that they promised to provide him with life energy to speed up his breakthrough. He smirked inwardly. He had a better option now but there was no need to turn them down. It will also mask how huge his vitality core is if he pretends to rely only on the small amount they will give him.
"Let's go then." Soverick Said.
They soon reached the living room. Ghoto and Mihila were there, no sound was coming from them but one could tell that they were communicating through their body language.
"It's nice of you to grace us with your presence," Ghoto spoke sarcastically.
Soverick decided to play along. Two can play the game. "You're welcome. It's good that you know how honored you are."
Ghoto's face fell. "I was joking."
"I wasn't," Soverick said as he found a seat to sit on. He was finding being on his feet more difficult to withstand. It was like he was straining himself with heavy exercise.
"Enough joking around." Mihila cut in quickly. She indicated to a container. "This contains your portion of life energy."
"Couldn't you have given it to Kayla to bring to me? Walking around is too stressful." Soverick complained.
"I made an announcement earlier. We wouldn't have called you over if you had listened to what I had to say before you went to your room."
Soverick rolled his eyes. "Fine. What did you say?"
"Your brother and sister have both formed their vitality core. We will wait until you have all awakened your soul, it is the requirement for entry into the second stage of the training academy. The three of you are too ahead for the first stage. You are currently behind on your refinement, you have to work harder so that you won't hold your siblings back. We will enroll you when you are all ready."
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
"I didn't have to come here for that. You could have made Kayla tell me that."
"I could have, but I wanted to. If you get to do whatever you want, why can't I?"
"Fair enough."
Soverick decided to end their exchange there. It seems that three can play the game. He understood that she was being petty so he got up and picked up the container by its handle. The container was cuboid in shape and made from a heat insulating material.
"The amount of life energy contained within should be enough for you. You must use it well, it is very expensive." Ghoto called out to him.
"I know how to use them, old man."
He returned to his room and opened the container. A cold fog escaped from the box as soon as he opened the lid. The fog cleared away to reveal plant body parts in small transparent sealed sachets. The inside of the container is cold and serves to preserve its contents. Items that contain life energy are very fragile and difficult to store. The challenge comes from the difficulty of keeping away all forms of life from the items, even the items that are holding the life energy are also enemies to overcome. Life energy is impossible to exist in nature without life. So they will need to achieve the impossible, separate Life from life energy to create pure life force.
