Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

However, while Zhang Jingtian and the Magic City Card Academy were celebrating enthusiastically, You Sheng and the others from the Imperial Capital Card Academy in the distance all wore expressions of despair.

They lost, they broke the Imperial Capital Card Academy's winning streak, and it was at a time when the attention was so high.

Moreover, they lost to the Magic City Card Academy twice in a row, meaning they couldn't even find an excuse for underestimating the enemy or being countered.

At this moment, their faces were all quite unsightly.

You Sheng felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and found it was his teacher.

"I'm sorry," You Sheng shook his head. He knew that his teacher had always had great expectations of him: "I... I let you down."

The teacher smiled:

He looked at Zhang Jingtian, who was standing on the stage full of vigor, and his heart was filled with envy.

How much he wished that he could be like Zhang Jingtian, admired and worshiped by so many people.

He felt that the treatment Zhang Jingtian was receiving now should have belonged to him.

The teacher on the side sighed: "A little bit away is still away. Sometimes, the victory or defeat of us card creators is just this little bit!

You are still young, and you still have hope to catch up with your opponent. Didn't you always say before that you were very powerful and the people around you were too weak, so it was boring?

Now, don't you have something to look forward to? At least you can treat Zhang Jingtian as your goal and then chase after him."

At this moment, a trace of confusion flashed in You Sheng's eyes. He used to be such a confident person.

But now, after being played by Zhang Jingtian like this, he finally began to worry if he was too weak.

"That..." You Sheng sighed and said in a low voice:

"Do I really still have a chance? Sometimes when I meet him, I really feel desperate, as if no matter what I do, I can't catch up with him."

The teacher on the side patted him on the shoulder: "You are too extreme. One moment you are particularly confident, and you are not afraid of anyone. The next moment you are particularly inferior, feeling that you can't catch up with your opponent no matter how hard you try.

Perhaps what you should temper most is your mentality."

You Sheng nodded thoughtfully, and then asked the teacher a question he was very curious about:

"What was the reason for the First Military Academy's withdrawal from the competition?"

...

This time, the Magic City Card Academy's victory was quite popular, because they were a dark horse, something that many people had not expected before the competition.

What the public likes to see most is the dark horse's counterattack.

However, now that the Magic City Card Academy has won the championship, there will definitely be controversy.

This should be something that everyone experiences after winning the championship, after all, it is difficult for a champion to satisfy everyone.

At this moment, the Magic City Card Academy's championship has a voice of doubt.

Some people believe that their ability to win the championship is inseparable from the withdrawal of the First Military Academy.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the First Military Academy is the strongest existence in this competition.

Their advancement was a crushing force, and many people felt that no matter whether it was the Imperial Capital Card Academy or the Magic City Card Academy, if they met them, there would only be one result, and that was defeat.

And the withdrawal of the First Military Academy was too sudden, and there was not even a convincing explanation afterwards, so this allowed many conspiracy theorists to have their own guesses.

For a time, many people on the Internet were saying that the Magic City Card Academy's championship was completely a lucky pick, and the First Military Academy was the real uncrowned king.

Zhang Jingtian naturally saw such remarks, but he did not take them to heart at all.

However, curiosity still drove Zhang Jingtian to walk to his teacher, Teacher Li, and asked again:

"Teacher, I know that you were unwilling to tell me the truth before, because we still had competitions, and you didn't want me to be distracted.

But now that the competition is over, can you tell me the real reason for the First Military Academy's withdrawal?"

Teacher Li glanced at Zhang Jingtian and did not directly answer his question, but asked in return:

"Shouldn't you be celebrating your championship at this time?"

"Of course I'm happy to win the championship, but that's all in the past. And I'm very clear that competitions are just a diversion. Our real opponents are always the Scourge Legion and the anti-human cultists.

The withdrawal of the First Military Academy should be related to them, right?"

At this time, Teacher Li was silent for a while. He didn't expect Zhang Jingtian to guess so accurately.

Now he sighed and said:

The latest novels are at 69shu.com!

"I really don't know where you guessed it from, but it is indeed as you said, the Fifth District..."

Teacher Li was very clear that this matter might be hidden from ordinary people for a long time, but it was absolutely impossible to hide it from them, the card creators.

So sooner or later, Zhang Jingtian would know the answer.

Since this was the case, Teacher Li felt that it would be better to just tell Zhang Jingtian now.

After Zhang Jingtian listened to Teacher Li's popular science, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

This was very dangerous. The strength of the Scourge Legion was getting stronger and stronger, and they would one day make a comeback and awaken people's fear.

"So they went to clean up the aftermath?" Zhang Jingtian asked in a low voice.

Teacher Li shook his head: "They are not qualified to handle this kind of thing yet. It's just that now the whole country is worried that their secret realms and sealing gates are also loosening.

At that time, if the Ministry of War does not have enough manpower, then the first to fill the gap will be the First Military Academy.

So those students have already gone to train, in case of emergency."

After hearing this, Zhang Jingtian immediately said: "Then do we need to go to special training? As students of the Card Academy, we can't just sit and wait for death, right?"

Listening to Zhang Jingtian's words, Teacher Li patted the other party's shoulder with relief:

"I knew you wouldn't be the kind of person who is afraid. After you go back, the school will arrange for you.

What you have to do next is to first enjoy this championship.

By the way, after today, you will probably become a star, and many endorsements will come to you. The school will not interfere or share with you. You can make your own decisions."

"You are already a Gold Four-Star, save some money and work hard to break through to Platinum!"
