5: Chapter 5 Testing Ceremony 5: Chapter 5 Testing Ceremony Editor: Atlas Studios Erica carefully picked up the newborn and placed it into the array.
The mage in charge of the ceremony waved his magic wand, and an invisible detection wave instantly emanated from the array, slowly sweeping over the newborn’s body.
But when it entered the newborn’s spirit space, it encountered a special obstruction—the strange energy that had accompanied Xia Yuan’s transmigration.
The detection wave slid right off the surface of the energy layer, as if it existed in two different dinsions.
Consequently, the consciousness of Xia Yuan within it also went unnoticed.
On the other side, two rune rings within the array underwent instantaneous changes, with the ten special runes in the rings slowly turning blood red from the top one by one.
The Duke couldn’t help but slightly hold his breath, his eyes following the runes as they moved, his azure eyes unblinking.
As ti passed, the change gradually ceased.
The number of blood red runes in the two small rings finally fixed at nine each, with the last rune still shimring with a ghostly blue light.
“Both bloodline concentrations have reached Level Nine, Your Grace!”
The ritual mage gazed at the array’s changes and remarked in amazent.
“Hmm—”
The Duke simply acknowledged with a sound, his voice betraying no emotion, but a barely perceptible smile spread across his lips.
At this mont, he was watching intently at the other side of the array, where a rune presented a peculiar three-dinsional quality.
The bloodline detection results had appeared, yet this particular rune remained unchanged.
Gazing at the unresponsive rune, the Duke couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
This made the mage, who was observing the Duke’s reactions, break into a nervous sweat, secretly worrying whether he had made an error in so line.
In Xia Yuan’s mind, the strange energy seed to sense sothing, its surface rippling like waves.
A slightly ethereal spirit fragnt gradually pushed aside the surrounding energy, ’erging’ from the energy layer.
When the detection wave touched the spirit fragnt, the rune suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
Seeing this, the Duke let out a long breath, the once-hidden smile finally overtaking his face.
“Soul synchronization rate one hundred percent, Honorable Duke.”
The casting practitioner conducting the ceremony also finally relaxed, hastily reporting.
“Hahahaha—Good!
Very good!”
The Duke laughed out loud, the jubilant emotion raising his tone by half a note.
“Leonard!
Notify the Chief of the Mage Corps, prepare to hold the naming ceremony.
Send invitations to the royal family and all major families, inviting them to attend on the next full moon’s night!
Additionally, send my orders to prepare for a festive celebration!
Starting from the day of the naming ceremony, all mines, farms, and estates will be on holiday, and taxes for all citizens of Karlars for this year will be halved!
I want the entire Karlars Province to celebrate for three days!”
“As you command, Your Grace!”
Butler Leonard bowed in acknowledgnt, then faced the Duke, retreating from the room.
……
Unlike ordinary people, the higher the level of professionals, the lower the likelihood of producing offspring.
If the difficulty for an ordinary couple to have offspring is set at one, then for a pair of First Rank professionals, it’s two, for Second Rank it’s four, Third Rank it’s eight, Fourth Rank it’s sixteen…
and so on.
Moreover, if there’s a significant rank disparity between the couple, the difficulty of producing offspring doubles again.
As a rare Ninth Rank bloodline magician on the continent, the Duke’s difficulty in having offspring is imaginable.
Under such circumstances, if high-ranking professionals want to have offspring, they must either use certain rare items that can increase the probability or…
increase the number of attempts.
The energetic and wealthy Duke of Karlars opted for both approaches.
Therefore, whenever a new offspring was obtained, the Duke would host a grand celebration for the occasion.
During the celebrations, all slave classes would receive a three-day break.
During these three days, the City Lord Mansion and the various Chambers of Comrce would provide an unlimited supply of free bread and ale.
Most importantly, that year’s taxes would be halved.
For the common people, a tax reduction ant new clothes for their children and a smile on their weary wife’s face.
For the less fortunate, cutting taxes ant they could safely endure the harsh winter together as a family.
Thus, when the news of the lord’s new offspring spread, a festive atmosphere imdiately enveloped Karlars City.
With the help of magic, this atmosphere quickly spread throughout the entire Karlars Province.
“Praise the Duke!”
The people extolled.
“The generous and kind Duke and his benevolent wife have once more received the blessings of heaven!
May the gods bless them.”

A year in Unival is similarly divided into twelve months, with its length determined by the lunar phases of Silver Moon Sevin,
Radiant History, year 2442, May, fifteenth.
Breathing the faint fragrance of Calming Flowers in the air, Xia Yuan was held in the arms of a pink-haired young girl, quietly gazing at the ornate platinum carriage’s ceiling, half-blocked by so object, questioning his life.
About a month had passed since he transmigrated, and during this ti, he had acquired more fragnts of mory.
He was born on Yar Continent of this world, a land divided by three major superpowers.
From largest to smallest, they are:
[Saint ssia Empire], [Gloria Empire], and [Yiter Kingdom Federation].
As described in the ga information, the world’s backdrop is of a dieval setting of Sword and Magic.
Those powerful professionals could form an army on their own, effortlessly flatten towering mountains, overturn unfathomable oceans, and even make the stars in the sky fall.
The owner of these mory fragnts was a noble boy nad Anvis—to differentiate, Xia Yuan referred to him as Little Anvis.
The mory scenes varied in ti from young to adolescent years; simply put, he was a direct descendant of the Olivendi Family, one of the four grand duke families of Gloria.
A noble scion who inherited a legendary bloodline and had exceptional talent.
Unfortunately, he was an unlucky child born at the wrong ti.
At the cusp of this change between the old and new era, such a noble and illustrious background wasn’t a shield but rather a death warrant.
For decades after Little Anvis was born, the old nobility gradually declined, and the new nobility rose to power.
As a representative of the old nobility, the Olivendi Family was thoroughly labeled a villain, suffering near-annihilation.
During the second expansion pack of the previous life’s ga ‘Era’s Transition’, it was already nominally extinct, barely surviving by forming an alliance with the other three families.
As a player at that ti, he had even undertaken the task of clearing the alliance’s forces…
……
But where did these mory fragnts actually co from?
Gently closing his eyes, Xia Yuan fell into contemplation.
He wasn’t unfamiliar with novels and knew about the concept of reincarnation where one gains the mories of the original host, but his reincarnated identity was that of a newborn.
Where would any original host mories co from?
After a while, Xia Yuan gave up thinking.
If even transmigration could happen, then gaining an additional inexplicable mory didn’t seem like such a big deal.
Viewing it as a story would suffice—
More importantly, he was intrigued by a new discovery:
In one scene of the mories, there even seed to appear the silhouette of a player!
Indeed, except for resurrection, players were practically indistinguishable from NPCs.
But two people bouncing as they walked were hard not to catch Xia Yuan’s attention.
