Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 135: Spell Card Guidance

The time for the life and death competition was set for the next night.

And this incident spread throughout the school in just one night.

"You know what, brother, you're famous!"

Early in the morning, Ding Xiaoyu saw Zhang Jingtian and started chattering.

"Isn't that normal?" Zhang Jingtian said calmly, "I heard the last time someone held a life-or-death competition in school was five years ago. This is a major event that concerns all the teachers and students in the school!"

"So you know about this!" Ding Xiaoyu sighed. "Why do you think no one has done this before? Is it because they don't like it? It's because they all know it's too dangerous.

But in this situation, you've been trapped there, and escaping is impossible."

Ding Xiaoyu estimated that all the teachers and students in the school would come to watch the game.

"I didn't even think about running away," Zhang Jingtian said calmly, "and I don't think I can lose."

"Sometimes I really admire your confidence." Ding Xiaoyu shrugged. "Anyway, I'll be watching from the side. If he really wants to kill me, I'll stop him even if it's against the rules!"

Zhang Jingtian was a little moved when he heard Ding Xiaoyu's words.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu. You are my first friend since I started school. Don't worry, I will never forget you no matter how good things go."

When it was time for class, Wei Yingyue looked at Zhang Jingtian, her face full of worry.

To be honest, when she heard that Zhang Jingtian was going to enter the life and death arena, she almost fainted from fright.

"Are you crazy?" Wei Yingyue looked at Zhang Jingtian, "You agreed to something like this without even thinking about it? You worked so hard to get into the Magic City, are you going to waste all your efforts just by thinking about it?

If something really happens to you, what will happen to your parents? Have you ever thought about this? "

To be honest, Zhang Jingtian subconsciously felt a little guilty after being asked this question by Wei Yingyue.

After a moment, he spoke, "My parents passed away a long time ago. And I did consider these things. Of course, I know you care about me, so I'm still very happy."

As he said this, Zhang Jingtian started laughing.

When Wei Yingyue saw Zhang Jingtian's heartless look, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You...that's all. Just know what's going on in your mind."

Wei Yingyue knew that she should respect the fate of others.

But after all, she was admitted to the school by Zhang Jingtian, so she still has some good feelings towards Zhang Jingtian.

Even ordinary classmates don’t want to see students of their own age get into an accident.

Teacher Li came over and let Zhang Jingtian go alone.

The others also knew that Teacher Li was probably going to talk about the life and death competition in the evening, so they all tactfully avoided the topic.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular. Everyone cares about you." Teacher Li's voice was a little weak and sounded a little cold.

"Really?" Zhang Jingtian laughed: "Maybe it's because I'm more handsome!"

Teacher Li shook his head and did not respond to Zhang Jingtian's joke. Instead, he said seriously:

"But as your mentor in this life-and-death arena, I definitely can't just sit back and watch."

"In fact, the ghost tribe is the most suitable for making various spell cards. Because ghosts are inherently bizarre and unpredictable, their spells often have unexpected effects.

I saw the will-o'-the-wisp you used the other day. It's pretty good, but I didn't really notice the difference between it and other fire spells. It didn't embody the characteristics of the ghost clan at all."

Zhang Jingtian listened attentively this time, because what Teacher Li told him was not just about making spell cards, but also a card-making method. In fact, most people are reluctant to teach these things.

"If it were me, I would think, 'Willow', that is the fire of the underworld, and my first reaction would be chilling and biting cold.

You might think, this is fire, shouldn't it be the opposite of cold? Your opponent might think the same, so it will catch them off guard."

Zhang Jingtian opened his eyes wide: "But aren't spell cards all extracted from the skills of heroic spirits?"

Teacher Li laughed again. "This is the same as the material card. You created a Heroic Spirit using the material of a female ghost. Do you know the original skills of this female ghost? Is it related to the Heroic Spirit you will create later?"
The same goes for extracted skills; they just provide a framework from which you can modify them. Of course, whether you can successfully create them depends on your ability."

Zhang Jingtian benefited a lot and he was sure that he had chosen the right mentor.

"Thank you, Teacher Li. What you said is very useful to me."

"We still have a few hours left, maybe you can make a few more spell cards. Because in the life and death arena, everyone will attack the card maker."

Zhang Jingtian nodded and immediately understood the importance of spell cards.

It is actually more flexible and can help card makers turn the tables instantly.

After all, even Loulan, which is famous for its defense, cannot block all attacks.

Unless Loulan evolves a skill that taunts the entire audience in the future.

Returning to the card-making space again, Zhang Jingtian walked to the tool bench.

He hadn't told Teacher Li just now that his skill was actually Fox Fire, not Will-O-Will Fire, but it was similar, and he could indeed learn from the teacher's ideas.

So he chose Yingning again, extracted her skills, and then started making spell cards.

However, this time, Zhang Jingtian made a new adaptation. He began to try to convince the Heavenly Dao that the characteristics of fire are changeable and that fire with ice properties can exist in this world.

For this reason, he also emphasized the half-human, half-ghost identity of the heroic spirit.

After a while, his spell card was successfully made. This time it was still fox fire, but it turned into [Netherworld Fox Fire].

Purple five-star spell.

When he saw this star rating, Zhang Jingtian himself was shocked.

Only then did he realize that if he wanted to make a high-star spell card, he had to adapt it instead of just copying and pasting it.

Afterwards, Zhang Jingtian did not exit the card-making space, but inserted Zakiram's card into the tool table.

He wanted to extract one of Zakiram's skills.

It's not about entering the painting. This skill is too strong and difficult to extract.

Zhang Jingtian found both the Vajra Mantra and the White Tiger Seal to be very practical.

But unfortunately, Zhang Jingtian’s current mental strength is unable to extract the White Tiger Seal.

When he tried to do so, he was instantly counterattacked and his head was dizzy for several minutes.

He had no choice but to take out the Vajra Mantra obediently.

As for the Vajra Mantra as a defensive skill, the first variation that Zhang Jingtian thought of was the Golden Bell Cover.

Even these two spells have the same origin.

Compared to strengthening oneself, for a card maker whose body is not that powerful, it is obviously more practical to give oneself an extra layer of golden bell protection.
