After repeatedly simulating his spiritual space to ensure there were no issues with his magic pattern core, Zhao Guang found Coscola, along with several others who had reached the fourth level of magic patterns.

"I have now researched the fifth level of magic patterns. With its addition, you can reach the Legendary Level."

The people around immediately widened their eyes, not expecting that legends could actually be mass-produced.

Zhao Guang continued, "First, let me talk about the advantages. As long as you've reached the fourth level of magic patterns, you can directly enter the fifth level without any threshold or danger."

Zhao Guang himself was also amazed; who would have thought that the magic pattern system he researched would be so peculiar.

The most difficult stage was the fourth level. To reach it, one must forcefully adapt to everything about magic patterns using their own power, transforming oneself into a situation akin to a semi-elemental creature.

This process inflicts great damage to oneself. Failure to achieve it will significantly reduce one's lifespan.

Truth be told, many might not even have the chance to enter the fourth level.

Everyone originally believed that entering the fifth level would be even more difficult, but who would have thought it would be effortless. Even Zhao Guang himself had no such notion.

"Everyone, quiet down; let me talk about other issues," Zhao Guang waved his hand to quiet the group.

"The first issue is that accepting this means being completely under my control, comparable to a slave contract." In fact, Zhao Guang downplayed it a bit.

This control is even more domineering than a slave contract, as accepting it is akin to becoming a puppet.

Of course, if I choose not to directly control, rune professionals won't feel like they've become puppets. For them, it may even feel more relaxed than a slave contract.

"Master, I accept," Coscola said without hesitation.

Originally, there was a slave contract between Coscola and Zhao Guang, which was later dissolved.

These individuals truly did not want it lifted, having the slave contract signified a closer relationship with their master, along with greater benefits in various aspects.

It's merely a title they had long stopped caring about.

Zhao Guang was different from other slave owners, treating almost everyone equally in terms of dignity.

Outside, slaves bound by such powerful contracts often held a higher status and position than most nobles.

It's not the nobility of the title but the influence brought by such favored figures.

Although a few around hesitated for a moment, most agreed. Some were reluctant, not being slaves themselves, and thus were relatively resistant to this identity.

Zhao Guang didn't care; regardless of who accepts, the result would be the same.

Only by accepting the fifth level rune can one possess Legendary Combat Power; otherwise, they could never break through on their own.

And Legendary Combat Power represents top-tier combat strength, which can exercise greater authority within their own territory.

Zhao Guang continued, "Hold on, listen to me first. Once you choose this method, you can no longer switch to other powers." This wasn't much of an issue, as they'd reached a point where switching paths was no longer possible.

The body had already transformed into a semi-elemental state, making it inconceivable to train on other paths.

So no one cared about this point.

"Additionally, after accepting this rune, although your combat strength in the legend rank won't be the weakest, it also won't be very strong. Your rule power intensity will likely stay around level three to four."

Zhao Guang couldn't help it; this wasn't his limit, but the limit of the magic pattern itself—the limit of the rune professionals.

More intense rules will only lead to the shattering and complete collapse of one's core.

This strength level is adequate within the legend rank, neither outstanding nor mediocre.

"However, your strength will be locked after this, with no possibility of further enhancement."

Everyone exchanged glances, and no one cared about this point. Given their talents, they couldn't hope to reach even a Great Knight level in this lifetime. Those with higher aspirations wouldn't choose this path anyway.

So being unable to advance was no concern, and people expressed accordingly.

Zhao Guang smiled, pleased with their response. "Lastly, there are a few more things I should tell you."

"Choosing this path will completely transform you into a special creature. Although I don't know how much your lifespan will extend, it will certainly be much longer than an ordinary legend, possibly surpassing some special creatures."

Zhao Guang's reference to special creatures included long-lived species such as elves and giant dragons.

Though these are uncertain, Zhao Guang could only speculate.

"One more thing is that upon complete transformation, you will lose your ability to reproduce; this must be clearly understood."

"Master, rest assured, I already have offspring, so this isn't a concern."

It's only the loss of reproductive ability; it doesn't mean the 'thing' itself can't be used, so the pleasures won't be lacking.

Since they already have descendants, no other concerns need attention.

Another person quickly added, "May I first have descendants before accepting?" Young and nervous, his face turned red upon speaking, considering he was not yet married.

Zhao Guang waved casually, "It's alright, you can accept it anytime; I'm just informing you all."

"You can inform others who meet the requirements or those who might reach them. Tell them the end of this path so they can choose for themselves."

Coscola promptly stated, "Master, I am ready to accept now."

Since they were all gathered, selecting individuals for acceptance was necessary to show others. Coscola was determined not to let this first position go to anyone else.

As the Controller of the Thunderbolt Warrior Corps and the primary leader of the territory's army, some matters cannot be conceded.

Zhao Guang nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Alright, let's start with you."

Saying this, Zhao Guang raised his hand, electricity flickering around it; a magic pattern core formed by emulating thunder rules. The intensity of this core suddenly made several Thunder Warriors find it exceptionally attractive.
