Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

After checking into the hotel, Zhang Jingtian and Ding Xiaoyu shared a room.

Uncharacteristically, Ding Xiaoyu wasn't his usual chatty self; instead, he quietly closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

"It's rare to see you so quiet, but it makes me feel like it's a bit too quiet here."

Ding Xiaoyu coughed and said seriously, "It's different. I can joke around usually, but the competition is about to start, so I have to be serious. Let me tell you, my family, and all my relatives, know that I'm participating in this year's University League.

They're definitely going to watch the live broadcast, and if I don't perform well, I'll be so embarrassed!"

He looked up at the calm and collected Zhang Jingtian, and said with envy:

Zhang Jingtian walked to the balcony alone and summoned Loulan.

Loulan immediately absorbed the moonlight, her complexion becoming even more rosy.

At first glance, you could hardly tell she was a zombie.

Loulan turned her head, quietly looked at Zhang Jingtian, and smiled, "Master, you're staring at me so intently; I'm getting a little embarrassed."

"Really? I was looking at your level. You're already level 40. You guys cultivate so fast! Are you confident about this competition?"

"Of course." Loulan smiled. "As long as Master is here, I have nothing to worry about."

"That's true. My usage of spell cards is much better than before, so I'll definitely amaze them when the time comes! As long as the first draw isn't too outrageous."

"But Master, didn't they say we're in the seeded zone?"

This year's University League divided the participating schools into two major zones: the seeded zone and the knockout zone.

The seeded zone had four teams: Imperial Capital Card Academy, Magic Capital Card Academy, First Military Academy, and the host, Yanjing Card Academy.

They would draw lots in the first round to conduct a rating match.

The two winning teams would lock in a spot in the top eight in advance. The losing teams would have to wait for the schools in the ordinary zone to finish their round-robin battles, and then face the two teams ranked fifth and sixth in points, with the winners taking the final spots in the top eight.

It could be said that these four teams only needed a maximum of two matches to advance to the top eight, which was already a great advantage over other schools.

This year's schedule was very tight, and accidents happened every year in the University League.

Injuries were even more numerous.

Therefore, the fewer matches, the better to preserve complete combat power.

It was generally believed that these four teams had already secured their spots in the top eight.

However, in the first round, every school would want to pick on the weak.

And the universally recognized weakling was, without a doubt, the host, Yanjing Card Academy.

Although it was also one of the eight famous schools, the difference was still very obvious.

This year's University Heaven Rankings even only had 2 students from them on the list.

Early the next morning, Bai Xiaoyue, carrying everyone's expectations, prepared to draw lots.

As her figure passed in front of the Imperial Capital Card Academy, she heard many people calling her name.

Those were all Bai Xiaoyue's classmates, most of whom had stayed in the Imperial Capital.

The short girl in front of Bai Xiaoyue had a murderous aura about her:

"You traitor, you actually went to the Magic Capital! I really hope I can meet you in the first round and teach you a lesson!"

Bai Xiaoyue rolled her eyes. She didn't understand why the animosity between regions was so strong, especially since everyone was a Dragon Country citizen.

Seeing that Bai Xiaoyue ignored her, the girl said angrily, "Looking at you, I can tell you've been raised in a greenhouse. Do you know that I've already been to a secret realm once, and it was a near-death experience! I've transformed now, and defeating you will be a piece of cake!"

Zhang Jingtian frowned and walked in front of Bai Xiaoyue: "Where did this fly come from, buzzing on and on."

The short girl's face changed. She didn't expect Zhang Jingtian to mock her!

She stamped her foot angrily and said in a low voice, "What do you mean! Do you think you're a big deal!"

"I'm saying, you think going to a secret realm once is a big deal? Don't get slapped in the face later."

"Who are you!"

Zhang Jingtian shrugged: "A concerned citizen."

Then he took Bai Xiaoyue's hand and walked forward.

Bai Xiaoyue's ears turned red. She didn't expect Zhang Jingtian to stand up for her: "Thank you."

"Thank me for what! Your mouth is too clumsy, you don't have any aggressiveness at all. Usually, browse the forums and Weibo more and learn a thing or two!"

Bai Xiaoyue's face changed. She thought to herself that she had been careless; how could she be grateful to this person!

And she quickly composed herself and began the draw.

Four balls, and the representatives of the four schools randomly took one.

If the colors inside were the same when opened, they would be the opposing sides.

Bai Xiaoyue picked a ball, and after unscrewing it, there was a red streamer inside.

The representative of the First Military Academy opened the ball, and it was blue.

The students who came to the Magic Capital Card Academy at their own expense breathed a sigh of relief.

They all believed that the First Military Academy was the most difficult to deal with.

The moment these five people appeared, they were completely different from the other students.

They all had a murderous aura, and there were even bloodstains on their clothes.

It made people feel like they were the kind of Shura who came to collect debts.

At this time, the host also opened the ball, and the moment they saw blue, the most supporters on the scene wailed.

And this match was also the opening ceremony of this year's University League.

Zhang Jingtian clicked his tongue and comforted Bai Xiaoyue: "It's okay, at least it's not the worst result. And I think we have a chance of winning against our opponent, Imperial Capital Card Academy."

At this time, Bai Xiaoyue said in a low voice: "I know them very well. Among the students of the Imperial Capital Card Academy, the strongest person is already Gold Four-Star, and the remaining four official team members are all Gold Two-Star, and the substitute is also Gold One-Star.

Their overall strength is definitely the strongest!"

At this time, Wei Yingyue said: "I, give me another day, I should be able to break through to Gold."

Zhang Jingtian was very surprised: "Really?"

Wei Yingyue nodded: "Yes, I've gained a lot of insights recently."

"Okay, if you break through, then you'll be an official team member. Go back and rest first, and study the opponent. Tomorrow, watch the match of the First Military Academy first, and then we will defeat the Imperial Capital Card Academy!"
