Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

"Of course," Ding Xiaoyu said, changing the subject, "Few people choose a life-and-death arena, and you have the right to refuse."

"Yeah," Zhang Jingtian nodded. "I'm not stupid; I definitely won't agree."

That evening, Zhang Jingtian officially joined the Duel Card Society.

However, the president wasn't there; instead, the senior sister from that day greeted them.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the senior sister guessed their doubts:

"The president has gone to handle a commission and won't be back for a while. If you have any questions, just ask me."

"I wonder if you've heard of the High School League?"

The senior sister's words immediately caught everyone's attention.

Clearly, everyone present knew about the High School League, and many had even watched it.

Ding Xiaoyu leaned in close to Zhang Jingtian's ear and said:

"Dude, have you watched the High School League? I used to love watching it; it's incredibly entertaining. Plus, it's not like those duels between powerful figures; we can't understand the subtleties involved; the level is too high.

If only I had the chance to go to the High School League one day, who knows, I might become an overnight sensation!"

At this moment, the senior sister's words interrupted Ding Xiaoyu's fantasy:

"Every year, the High School League is managed by our Duel Card Society. There are still two months until the league starts. If anyone is interested, you can sign up with me."

At this point, Zhang Jingtian asked, "Can freshmen sign up?"

As soon as he said this, many people in the Duel Card Society laughed.

Because every year in the High School League, freshmen are almost always cheerleaders; it's not easy to even become a substitute.

And judging from Zhang Jingtian's expression, he clearly wanted to be a starter.

After hearing this, the senior sister calmly nodded:

"Of course, as long as you can compete against the others, you can represent our school in the competition."

"Dismissed!"

Ding Xiaoyu walked to Zhang Jingtian's side and said softly:

"Seriously, do you really want to sign up?"

"Of course, it's such a good opportunity," Zhang Jingtian said calmly. "Even if I'm not selected, I won't lose anything, right?"

"Okay, you're really confident." Ding Xiaoyu's words were obviously complimentary. Sometimes he also wanted to be like Zhang Jingtian, but he knew his own limitations.

However, at this moment, a senior student, with his hands in his pockets, walked towards Zhang Jingtian.

"You've been in the limelight recently. Many people know you now. I heard you want to participate in the High School League?"

Zhang Jingtian raised his head, glanced at the senior who was being sarcastic, and immediately thought the guy had a standard cannon fodder face.

"Yes," Zhang Jingtian nodded. "I don't need your permission to sign up, right?"

His words clearly stung the man in front of him.

The other party had originally planned to mock this freshman, but he was so arrogant, which immediately enraged him.

Shouldn't freshmen respect him?

"You seem to think you're very powerful, invincible?"

Zhang Jingtian sized up the senior. Like himself, he was also a Gold Five-Star.

Then he had nothing to worry about. He believed that among people of the same level, he wasn't afraid of losing.

"I don't think I said that," Zhang Jingtian smiled. "But I think you seem a little sensitive."

But Zhang Jingtian's eyes suddenly darted around, and he suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to complete a task.

So he said to the angry senior:

"If you think I'm wrong, and that freshmen should be servile to seniors, then defeat me.

As long as you win against me, I will abide by your rules; otherwise, I will only follow my own ideas."

The senior in front of him took a deep breath, looking as if he was about to faint at any moment.

After a moment, a mocking smile appeared on the senior's face.

Clearly, he had never expected that Zhang Jingtian would dare to challenge him.

This was really too bold. He had just been thinking about how to lure the other party into a duel with him!

After all, as a senior student, it would seem too petty of him to challenge Zhang Jingtian to a duel right from the start.

But now that Zhang Jingtian had offered himself up, everything was much simpler.

"Hmm? You really think so? Since you really plan to challenge me, how could I refuse?"

Ding Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, not expecting that things would eventually come to this.

But even if he lost, it would only mean resting in bed for a day at most, right?

But the senior's next words made everyone watching change their expressions.

"Dare you do a life-and-death arena? Of course, I don't want you to die, I just think that ordinary sparring has too many restrictions, it's boring."

"Of course, if you don't dare, then forget it. This duel isn't necessary at all, and I can't be bothered to argue with you. After all, you're just a coward."

Zhang Jingtian curled his lips: "First, I must tell you that my acceptance of the life-and-death arena has nothing to do with your provocation."

"I just think, I won't lose."

After saying that, Zhang Jingtian left gracefully.

And the news that he was going to have a life-and-death arena with a senior student immediately spread like wildfire throughout the school.

Even his teacher found Zhang Jingtian: "I initially thought I had misheard."

Zhang Jingtian smiled faintly: "No, you didn't mishear. Teacher, didn't you ask me to challenge them? I'm just completing the task."

Teacher Li sighed: "I didn't expect you to directly accept the life-and-death arena. This is not a joke.

You're still a freshman. I'll say something later and say that you don't understand the school's rules, and this matter will be over."

However, Zhang Jingtian shook his head at this time: "Teacher, there's really no need."

"And I think that life-and-death arenas are quite suitable to experience once. And I believe I won't lose."

To be honest, his three heroic spirits were not kind people.

They had always been restrained by him. If he let them go completely this time, they would probably unleash their full potential.

Seeing that Zhang Jingtian's thoughts were firm, Teacher Li didn't try to persuade him any further.

Everyone should be responsible for their own words, and Zhang Jingtian was also an adult.

At this moment, Qi Weilong, who was still outside doing a commission, also heard the news. Unlike others who were shocked or worried, he laughed heartily.

"As expected of the freshman I have high hopes for! It's a pity I can't personally see you in the life-and-death arena!"
