Chapter 519 Glory of the Third Generation

The Supreme Grade Sword - Leon's Glory.

"Uncle, is it enough to condense a sword spirit or a blade soul with just sword intent?"

Golden Lion has held the title of the world's greatest swordsman for decades. In the realm of swordsmanship, no one living on this sea is more authoritative than the Flying Admiral.

"In fact, it is not impossible to use the power of dominance to help condense the sword soul of this sword. However, I believe that Oren will do all of this himself in the future."

Golden Lion's meaning was clear: although he and Rex, the two Supreme Swordsmen, could use the Haki of the Divine Domain to consecrate this newly born Supreme Grade Sword and condense its Supreme Sword Soul, they would not do so.

The three generations of the Leon family's glory were not puppets of others; on the contrary, he was a person with strong opinions even at a young age.

Oren remained calm, his gaze fixed on the Supreme Grade Blade that was destined to be his. At this moment, he wasn't thinking about how to condense a sword spirit into the sword before him, but rather about his other sword.

That's right, Oren has always practiced dual-wielding.

The Leon family's dual-wielding style is definitely something to be proud of on this sea. The Golden Lion and Lex have single-handedly made dual-wielding the world's number one sword style.

Of course, as the founder, the Golden Lion's achievements are naturally greater than Lex's, but in terms of the level, it is obviously the second generation of Glory who brought Leon's dual-wielding style to its peak.

He directly wielded two swords, stormed the holy land, and slashed Im.

Oren uses the Golden Lion's two-handed sword, not Lex's two-handed blade.

For this reason, the Leon Glory sword forged by Kousaburo is a true double-edged sword.

Therefore, Oleni needs to figure out where to find his other longsword.

However, he had already made up his mind that once the trip to the East Sea was over, he could take the opportunity to retrieve his second sword.

Why take?

For Oleni, obtaining anything from Qinghai is as easy as taking candy from a baby.

“Grandfather, Father, this sword does not need to be nurtured with domineering energy. I will forge it into a black blade. As for the sword spirit, this sword also belongs to Leon Glory, not to me alone. So let everyone decide.”

The Golden Lion did not answer, but instead looked at Lex—the current head of the Leon family in every sense of the word.

With the perfect conclusion of the first decade-long plan, the era of great rise was created by Leon Lex. Not only the vast majority of people in Qinghai, but even the Flying Admiral, the glory of Leon's generation, truly recognized everything about Leon Lex.

Always believe, always be right, always follow.

Lex smiled gently and stroked Oren's soft, golden hair: "You don't need me to urge you on. As the third generation of glory, everything about you is excellent. I'm not afraid that excessive praise will cloud your judgment. So, since your birth, I have no intention of blocking the love and praise that everyone has for you. I know that all of this is as unpredictable to you as the waves on the sea, sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm."

After a pause, Lex sighed softly. He had to admit that years of open and covert battles, and years of maritime conflicts, had subtly changed him. His once pure pursuit of freedom had now inevitably been burdened with more responsibility and constraints.

The golden lion beside him understood best; he had been with Lex for over thirty years and knew all too well the changes that had taken place.

As Lex infused the Supreme Grade Sword with the sword intent of a Grandmaster, he spoke:

“Personally, I would never raise you like this. When I was twenty, I thought that if I had a child, I would give him fertile soil and let him grow freely. But now I am thirty-two, Oleni. Forgive me for not being able to give you too much freedom in life, but I am doing my best to not interfere with anything you do, and not let anyone else interfere with anything you do.”

"The meeting with the ancestor was a last resort. With the ancestor's approval, many people could be spared. Leon is not bloodthirsty; killing is merely a means to an end. The goal is to create an era of freedom. Apart from that incident, I have never interfered with anything you have done. Even your actions in the Holy Land, your actions in the Western Sea, the girls you met, the people you saved, and the people you killed—I instructed my subordinates to turn a blind eye to all of them."

After all that, not only O'Leary, but even Kozaburo and the others standing nearby knew that Lex was about to bring up the key point.

As expected, Lex put away the Leon's Glory, which had already condensed into a supreme sword spirit, and handed it to Oren, his expression unusually solemn:

“I love you, but I can’t give you a completely free life. In this respect, I’m not as good as your uncle. He gave me a very free childhood, and that time still sustains me through many difficulties. Oleni, your father also believes in you. To become the glory of three generations, to quell the historical cholera, and to usher in an era of freedom—these are not incredibly difficult for you. To accomplish these things, you will lose a lot, such as freedom, but you will also gain a lot, things beyond freedom.”

The climate in the East China Sea is always mild. Clouds drift across the sky, the ancient trees in Shuangyue Village sway gently, the boundless green sea ripples, and the wind ripples the clouds, but also soothes people's troubled hearts.

“Oleni, as the second-generation glory of the Leon family, I ask you, are you willing to take this sword and all of this?”

The golden lion remained silent, quietly witnessing all of this.

Barrett, Kousaburo, and the others standing to the side felt a turbulent storm raging within them, a stark contrast to the mild weather. If they weren't dreaming, then they were witnessing the most sacred moment of this sea, a great transition that would determine the course of several future eras.

"Just as my father said, none of this was difficult for me. What lies beyond freedom is what I pursue. Everything is just right. It was destiny, and it was destiny that I chose."

Oren accepted the supreme greatsword—Leon's Glory.

He wants to use the glory of Leon in his hands to create a higher, greater, and more enduring glory of Leon.

The Golden Lion said at the opportune moment:

"I wholeheartedly agree with the great era of rise that Lex pioneered. What rise? Rise means fighting your way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"However, does the so-called free era mean there is no need for killing? No, quite the opposite, everything in this ocean is inseparable from killing. Only by killing to stop killing can we create a free era where everyone has hope and everyone has a future. This is the most fundamental point of agreement between your father and me."

"The sword in your hand is no ordinary sword; it has the power to command half of Qinghai. But I hope that you can make its power greater than half of Qinghai, or even greater than this ocean. You should make this sword command Qinghai because it is in your hands, rather than because it is the sword itself."

Oreni brandished the longsword in his hand—a simple and unassuming longsword, neither ornate nor adorned with any superfluous decorations.

"Because it's me, because I'm Leon O'Lane, it's all perfectly reasonable."

The golden lion smiled with satisfaction.
