Chapter 795 Forbidden Item: Shadow Sword
Prison directly under the Taiko.

It was established over a century ago.

The main building is based on the old campus left over from before the relocation of the Doomsday Academy, which now houses 3000 of the most vicious criminals.

Jiang He walked out of the dormitory building. The campus playground had already been covered with extraordinary metal. The prisoners gathered in groups of three or five, forming several gangs. Source users could be seen everywhere here. After all, strength would amplify the dark side of one's heart to a certain extent. Most of the gang leaders were C-level or even B-level source users.

Of course, even when the leader himself comes, there's still a queue to get food in the cafeteria.

When Jiang He walked to the canteen window, dozens of prisoners around him were fleeing in terror.

"Big brother, aren't we being a bit too cowardly?"

"Stop pretending! If he said one word to you, you might be in bed with him. This is a Tarot-level forbidden item: Lovers!"

"Wow! He's practically the king of butter! Who can resist his charm?! A D-rank can kill five A-ranks, his charisma is absolutely off the charts! I don't want to be a slave!"

"What Tongchuan Sword? He himself is a giant impart!"

Jiang He's face darkened slightly as she scanned the surroundings.

Chaos reigned everywhere he looked, and all the prisoners were avoiding his gaze.

This has led to numerous conflicts. Two Source Power users exchanged a few insults and then walked together to the life-or-death arena in the center of the playground, the only place in the prison where fighting and the use of Source Power were permitted.

But the duel that would normally attract a crowd was ignored at this moment. The name of Dijiang was now widely known. He was the greatest contributor to the Battle of Tongchuan. He could kill Red Jazz and Child of Nature without using his charm, and was even hailed as the "Sword of Tongchuan".

A forbidden artifact in human form, tarot-level, capable of cultivation, with an incredibly legendary history.

Jiang He walked to the cafeteria window.

The logistics soldiers responsible for serving meals disappeared, and they all huddled in a corner to draw lots. The unlucky ones who drew lots slowly crawled toward the window with expressions of resignation.

"Hello, big star."

Behind Jiang He, a petite girl with half black and half white hair spoke up: "My name is Jinxiu, and the Tongchuan military commander you killed was my father."

Jinxiu's eyes were calm.

Although new markers are announced daily in the joint alert system, in reality, no second marker will appear until the player who became the marker dies. Furthermore, the player whose location and other information are revealed the next day will still be the original, surviving marker.
Previously, Jinxiu was able to deal with various enemies thanks to the protection of the military and the Origin players. However, with the fall of Commander Tongchuan, the relationship cooled down, and with the two major factions clashing, several high-ranking military figures were unwilling to get involved in trouble again.

Therefore, she had no choice but to enter the prison on her own initiative and report Tongchuan Junzuo's secret conspiracy with the vampires in various media outlets. In the end, she was brought here on charges of slandering war heroes.

"so what."

Jiang He, carrying a plate laden with dishes, turned and stepped forward.

Jinxiu calmly said, "I have a forbidden item called Shadow, which is a short sword without a guard. The number of Shadow Swords that can be divided into Shadow Swords varies depending on the level of mastery, but there are at least dozens."

“I’ve seen your combat records from the military. You can only throw eight quenched throwing knives at a time, which is too inefficient. If you could obtain the Shadow Sword, the situation would be completely different.”

Jinxiu ordered a meal, but the dishes were rather meager.

Taiyu's meals require contribution points, and all of her assets have been used to trade with Origin players to buy the forbidden item, Shadow Sword, which is very likely to tempt Dijiang.

"What kind of reward do you want?" Jiang He asked casually.

The two sat down in a corner of the cafeteria and lined up again in front of the window.

Jinxiu said earnestly, "I want to live. There are many people chasing me, like a pack of mad hyenas."

Jinxiu took Jiang He's plate and pushed her own over, saying, "As for the reward, this is fine. I'll give you the Shadow Sword directly. After all, for lovers, there's no real difference between a throwing knife and a Shadow Sword."

The only difference between the two lies in whether it's convenient or not. A lover's greatest weapon is charm. In an absolutely unequal situation, the girl seems to have simply and completely relinquished the initiative, using retreat as a strategic advance. Jiang He nodded without saying a word.

Jinxiu took a black short sword off her wrist.

Jiang He took it. Under the suppression of the "lover", the forbidden item Shadow Sword was very obedient. One hundred short swords surrounded it, and the ouroboros mark was engraved on each one, officially replacing the throwing knives.

Having gained control of the Shadow Sword, some basic information naturally came into being: after the Shadow Sword's clone swords were damaged, they could be repaired and replenished by consuming energy, and the sturdiness and sharpness of the material depended on the energy level.

The two sides surprisingly reached a preliminary agreement.

In the queue at the window, a pair of brothers who looked alike walked over. After exchanging a glance, the older brother, Yan Yang, spoke up: "Commander Di Jiang, my brother Yan Yin and I are both C-level Source Power users. Someone hired us to target this Miss Jinxiu. I wonder if the Commander could make an exception? We will be very grateful afterward."

Jinxiu coldly replied, "Private fights are forbidden within the Imperial Prison."

The younger brother, Yan Yin, sneered, "When dealing with someone, it's not just about throwing punches. Don't expect to be innocent. Do you really think that Zhun Dijiang will take action for you?"

Jinxiu's face paled slightly, and her expression showed some apprehension.

Jiang He finished the steamed buns and hot dishes on his plate. He could see through the three men's little schemes. The two brothers weren't after Jinxiu; their real target was him.

"A life-or-death duel," Jiang He said.

The elder brother, Yan Yang, lowered his head and said, "Unless it's two against one, we dare not fight against His Excellency the Brigadier General. Of course, we will go into battle one after the other."

"Okay."

A hint of surprise flashed deep in Yan Yin's eyes.

"If you're so capable, then become an A-level player right now." Jiang He stood up and walked towards the life-or-death arena in the center of the playground.

As soon as he finished speaking, his younger brother Yan Yin was filled with doubt and surprise.

"Don't hesitate, I'll go first," said the older brother, Yan Yang, calmly.

As the group approached the deathmatch arena, all eyes in the prison seemed to turn to them. The colonel, the judge, appeared and registered the duel application forms for both sides.

"The two of you will step onto the stage. Regardless of the outcome, the arena walls will only open if one of you survives. This duel will consist of two rounds. C-level Source Power users Yan Yang and Yan Yin will challenge Brigadier General Di Jiang in turn. Those who wish to place a bet, please go to the referee's seat now."

The arena, a life-or-death struggle, occupied half of the playground. A transparent wall, like glass, rose up, and two duelists entered through a private passage.

Thousands of people gathered on the playground to watch, creating a lively atmosphere.

A middle-aged prisoner approached Jinxiu and said, "Things went very smoothly. Young Master Luo Zhengzong and our Endless Thoughts Adventure Team will not forget your contributions."

Jinxiu tiptoed nervously and said, "I have a feeling that Dijiang is cooperating with us. Is the strange poison that Young Master Luo gave us reliable?"

The middle-aged prisoner smiled faintly: "Dijiang killed Luo Zhengzong's father, Luo Youdao, which directly dealt a heavy blow to the power of the Luo family's main branch. They can't wait to kill him. The strange poison mixed in your food is colorless and tasteless. It can even kill an A-level poison. There won't be any problems."

Jinxiu looked up and said, "I betrayed the Origin players, and they will definitely hunt me down. The Myriad Thoughts Adventurer Group needs to be responsible for my safety."

The Origin faction, with fewer than a hundred members, was no match for the more than two thousand players on the other battlefields. Her decisive betrayal and the sale of some intelligence were merely a desperate attempt to survive.

The middle-aged prisoner cut off a section of the girl's sleeve, held it to his nose and sniffed it greedily, chuckling, "Of course, those gang leaders will definitely give me face."

Jinxiu ignored the other party's offense.

Chunming, a B-level gene warrior and the leader of the Wan Nian Adventure Team, is currently among the strongest players. He is a high-level combat force created by pooling resources from several large adventure teams of hundreds of members.

"I hope you will keep your word."
