Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Practicing dual-sword techniques requires more than just one sword.

At this thought, Subaru Natsuki inexplicably felt that the Sanctuary Sword in his hand seemed to...

The next moment, Natsuki Subaru followed his heart's guidance and placed his left hand on the hilt of the Sacred Sword.

Pull it outwards suddenly!

The Holy Sword split in the middle, turning into two identical swords!

Is this the magic of the sword of benevolence and the sword of righteousness?

That's really impressive!

Previously, he had only practiced sword moves according to Liu Bei's control of the machinery. Although he had the inspiration to integrate the sword moves into the Hentian Sword, he could not feel the true wonder of the Benevolent and Righteous Twin Swords at all.

Only now that I've actually tried it, do I realize just how profound this sword technique truly is!

Natsuki Subaru immediately stopped hesitating and gripped his sword with both hands!

He closed his eyes and recalled the sword techniques taught by Liu Bei, practicing from the first move.

The first sword is held horizontally in front of him, its tip not striving to be the first, but only responsible for bearing the momentum of the attack, leaving a way out for those behind him;

The second sword is hidden under the ribs. As the body turns, it is delivered using the force deflected by the first sword, cutting off the threat to all those being protected.

A sword points outward, receiving hostility, and also receiving the connection between oneself and others;

The other sword was drawn inward, suppressing the urge to retreat, and bearing the consequences that must be faced after drawing the sword.

The two swords sometimes came together and sometimes separated, alternating between front and back, producing a series of whooshing sounds as they cut through the air.

The surrounding green sprites were so frightened that they scattered and fled!

As the two swords continued to cross, Subaru Natsuki felt a force extending from the blades and falling towards him; the other force returned to his body along the hilt, sinking deep into his bones and flesh.

The former is like benevolence bestowed outwards, while the latter is like the morality upheld in one's heart.

This swordsmanship seems to be more than just swordsmanship...

As the final move of the twin swords came to an end, Subaru Natsuki's breath also paused for a moment.

He opened his eyes again, and the once familiar room suddenly became clear.

The patterns on the ground, the cracks in the walls, the center of gravity of Capella's body when she stood, and even the subtle rise and fall of her chest with each breath, all entered Subaru Natsuki's consciousness in a way he had never noticed before.

Actually, that's not all. If his senses are more acute, Subaru Natsuki can do the same after stacking up his troops.

What really puzzled Subaru Natsuki was another change.

The Twin Swords of Benevolence and Righteousness seemed to unlock a completely new sense in him...

He saw what originally existed between people...

connect?

link?

Benevolence and righteousness?

Subaru Natsuki couldn't accurately describe what it was.

But at this moment, he could clearly sense an invisible vessel emerging from Capela's body...

Similarly, within his own body, another similar substance was slowly settling.

They had no color or shape, yet he could clearly sense them, like two segments of ever-growing progress.

If he had to find an easy way to understand this feeling, Subaru Natsuki could only describe them as two slots.

He tentatively calls what exists in others the "Trough of Benevolence."

What exists within oneself is the groove of righteousness.

The sword of benevolence requires him to extend benevolence to others.

If a person is willing to accept this kindness, a corresponding sense of gratitude will remain in their heart.

The deeper the gratitude, the more abundant the accumulation of benevolence that Subaru Natsuki feels in the other person.

When he strikes this person again, the Sword of Benevolence will, through this act of kindness, [increase the damage dealt to that person].

The Righteousness Trough, on the other hand, directly affects Subaru Natsuki himself.

When others receive more of his benevolence, some of it will be returned to Natsuki Subaru, leaving a legacy of morality within him.

If his senses are correct, the deeper the Righteousness Gauge accumulates, the stronger the overall damage he will inflict with the Sword of Benevolence and the Sword of Righteousness.

Simply put, these two slots are like two independent multiplication areas.

One effect applied to a target determines how much damage one can inflict on that target;

One effect acts on oneself, determining how much additional power the dual swords can generate.

"I originally thought the Hatred Heaven Sword Technique was invincible, but I never expected the Benevolent and Righteous Twin Swords to be even more powerful!"

Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened, and his gaze toward the two swords in his hands gradually became incredibly intense!

"I originally thought that benevolence and righteousness were simply benevolence and righteousness, and there was nothing else to them."

"Now that I've learned this sword technique, I finally understand! Benevolence and righteousness are not only the principles of the world and people's hearts, but also sharp weapons for killing!"

Natsuki Subaru casually twirled his twin swords.

No wonder Liu Bei, while spreading benevolence, also dominated the world with this sword technique, even Cao Cao had to avoid his sharp edge!

"It seems Liu Bei was a kind and honest man after all!"

The Hate Heaven Sword concentrates all power into a single strike, while the Benevolence and Righteousness Twin Swords can change the course of battle from both the target and themselves simultaneously.

"A fine sword."

He then decisively combined the two swords into one and sheathed them.

No need to practice anymore!

It wasn't that he didn't want the Benevolent Twin Swords to become stronger, but rather that it was no longer necessary.

Subaru Natsuki can now be basically confirmed.

The true power of the Benevolent and Righteous Twin Swords does not lie in the individual moves they make.

Rather, it lies in the channels of benevolence and righteousness!

Swordsmanship instruction only produces idiots!

No matter how skilled you are at wielding a sword, it's not as beneficial as increasing your Benevolence Gauge!

He had just thought that as long as he mastered the sword techniques, he could gradually elevate the sword of benevolence and righteousness to a higher level.

But now it seems that practicing swordsmanship can only teach the body how to use them; true proficiency must be accumulated through the kindness and righteousness between people.

You can never truly master this sword technique by simply practicing repeatedly in your room.

Moreover, Natsuki Subaru vaguely felt that this sword technique was incomplete.

The existence of the Benevolence Gauge may not be just for increasing damage in various ways.

It's more like a kind of energy storage, an energy storage done in preparation for a certain move!

~【All the generals said they had been shown great favor by their lord, and now they should dedicate their lives to repay it!】~

'Could it be because my body reached its limit that my lord didn't have time to teach me that move?'

Natsuki Subaru's previously excited mood was now tinged with a touch of melancholy.

He has now exhausted his magic power during the Three Kingdoms period and is completely dead. It seems he will miss this final move...

This left Subaru Natsuki feeling quite frustrated.

He had a vague feeling that this final move might still be connected to the Heaven-Hate Sword in some way...

It seems that only this final move can allow his Heaven-Hating Sword to be pushed beyond its limits.

I hope it's just my imagination.

Natsuki Subaru shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

Thinking about these things now is too far off.

Let's be more practical and figure out a way to power up the Benevolence and Righteousness Twin Swords!

As for the method of storing energy, it is very simple: spread benevolence and virtue widely!

Natsuki Subaru's expression gradually became meek and submissive, his eyes focused on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart!

So who will be the first person to be filled with his benevolence?

Simple, just dunk it on whoever is closest!

Subaru Natsuki's gaze then fell on Capella, who was in the same room with him, or more precisely, on the virtue accumulation gauge that only he could feel.

Capella has never looked away from Natsuki Subaru since he started practicing swordsmanship.

She was torn between whether or not to test whether Natsuki Subaru had fallen for someone else.

They both want to know the truth and are afraid that the truth actually exists.

At that moment, she suddenly saw Natsuki Subaru, who was practicing his swordplay, walking towards her with a mischievous grin, and her body tensed up instinctively.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Capela tried to sound tough, but her voice still betrayed a hint of nervousness.

Natsuki Subaru stopped in front of her, his eyes half-open, looking at Capela with a calm expression.

How exactly should one instill one's own benevolence in Capela?

—Should we fill it this way or that way?

This is a question worth considering!

Subaru Natsuki pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly as if he had suddenly realized something.

He then put his hand into his pants pocket.

Capela's gaze followed the movement of his hand.

As Natsuki Subaru strained to reach deep into his pants pocket, Capella subconsciously swallowed.

"What...what are you planning to do now?"

She felt that the scene looked strangely familiar.

Then she saw Subaru Natsuki take something out of his pocket, hand it to her, and slowly open his palm.

"This is the best soybean flour, have some."

Capela's expression immediately turned as awkward as if he had just finished a thesis defense!

Subaru Natsuki, however, was so absorbed in his own sense of righteousness that he failed to notice Capela's increasingly unpleasant expression.

Natsuki Subaru remembered that when he fed Capella mung beans before, she hadn't been completely subdued.

But things are different now.

In the previous cycle, the two were already of one mind and body. Although they haven't reached that level in this cycle, the total amount of their relationship should be about the same.

Surely Capella would be willing to accept the food bestowed upon her by her master!

Having received such kindness, Capela's own accumulation of kindness should surely increase as well, right?

However, what greeted Subaru Natsuki was not Capela's gluttonous little mouth, but...

"You actually think you can fool me with something like this?" Capella roared in fury!

She raised her hand and slapped Natsuki Subaru's hand away hard.

Bean powder filled the air, leaving a layer of white-green smoke trails in the sky.

Natsuki Subaru was stunned.

How could you so blatantly disregard our family's virtuous deeds?

Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand!

That was close! I almost blurted out, "You vixen, how dare you be so insolent!"

For some reason, ever since he started practicing the Benevolent and Righteous Twin Swords, his urge to act impulsively has grown stronger day by day, year by year...
