Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 206 The Despised Substitute

Zhang Jingtian discovered that being a substitute in this competition was the most beneficial thing for him at the moment, as it allowed him to learn a lot of knowledge that he had never been exposed to before.

After Emerald, the card maker himself also became an important combat unit.

This release of mental power not only looks very cool, but its destructive power is actually much greater than he expected.

"However," Zhang Jingtian raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Will this kind of spiritual power release have any effect on the card maker?"

If there is an impact, then a high-level card maker would be able to kill people easily.

"No." Ma Xiaoyun shook his head: "It's only effective against Heroic Spirits and the Scourge. But it can only be used as a secret weapon, because if you use it too much, your mental power will be exhausted, and then you won't even be able to summon Heroic Spirits. Isn't it like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds?

After all, compared to Heroic Spirits, the damage caused by mental power is still much smaller."

Zhang Jingtian nodded: "When can I learn it? It feels very cool."

"You should be almost there," Ma Xiaoyun said seriously. "The first time I saw you, I felt that you were extremely talented. Your advancement speed will be much faster than the average person like us."

After hearing this, Zhang Jingtian felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Ma Xiaoyun to give him such a high evaluation.

"Hey, if you say that, I'll float."

Zhang Jingtian suppressed his smile, as the first game continued.

Just like the rules of their previous college league, each person has three heroic spirits.

If you summon it and then take it back, it will be considered a failure and you will not be able to summon it again.

The first contestant defeated our first Heroic Spirit by relying on the release of his mental power.

But soon, the dangers of insufficient mental strength became apparent.

His two subsequent heroic spirits were defeated before they could unleash their full combat power because his mental strength could not keep up.

Zhang Jingtian asked in confusion, "Why didn't he replenish his mental strength just now? I remember that drugs are allowed during competitions, right? And winning this match should be more precious than a bottle of medicine."

"Because..." Ma Xiaoyun explained, "Exerting mental power is equivalent to releasing a large amount of mental power in an instant, which is different from the steady loss we usually experience when summoning heroic spirits or using spell cards. Therefore, the human body will immediately reject various drugs, and even if you take drugs, it will be difficult to recover quickly.

Therefore, using mental power outward is a last resort. He was still too hasty."

They won the first singles match, and Zhang Jingtian was naturally happy, as this would reduce a lot of pressure on him.

But they didn't feel happy for long, because the opponent's second player took away the two players in front of them and completely reversed the situation.

It’s finally Zhang Jingtian’s turn to take the stage.

Ma Xiaoyun patted Zhang Jingtian on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "You don't have to be too nervous. I am already very grateful that you can come to help us as a substitute.

Your opponent this time is very powerful. He has been staying in Feicui for two years."

Although Ma Xiaoyun wanted to express that this person was experienced, Zhang Jingtian's first reaction after hearing Ma Dui's words was:

"How could he still not advance after all this time? That means his talent isn't that great!"

After hearing what Zhang Jingtian said, Ma Xiaoyun almost vomited blood.

He didn't know whether he should say that Zhang Jingtian was very confident.

After all, not everyone can upgrade as easily as drinking water like him. For normal people, thirty years old is considered very early to break through to platinum.

Unlike Zhang Jingtian, who is only 19 years old now.

Zhang Jingtian's opponent was a very tall man. In the previous match, he had already lost two heroic spirits.

But after he saw Zhang Jingtian's level, his worries disappeared instantly.

"Is there no one left in your team? Why did you let a platinum card maker come here? Are you looking down on me?"

There were quite a lot of spectators for this match, with fans on both sides being about evenly split.

However, in this singles match, the opponent is currently leading, which has made our fans noticeably quieter.

These fans are now full of energy and are waiting for the next contestant to reverse the situation and make them proud.

But no one expected that Zhang Jingtian, who came on the stage at this moment, was just a platinum card maker.

Even though they are fans, they can't laugh at this moment.

"Is our team going to disband? Finding a platinum card maker as a substitute? Is this any different from giving up the game?"

"But time is tight, so it must be difficult to find the right person. If you say that, the others who are replacing you will feel wronged!"

"I'm definitely not targeting the substitute. I'm actually very grateful for his timely help. But the gap in strength is objectively there. What can I do?"

"Hey, I also think this competition is so difficult. Are we really going to be eliminated in the quarterfinals?"

The fans on the opposing team were much happier, as they felt that victory in the singles match was already waving towards them.

They also have advantages in the team competition, so they are sure to make it to the semi-finals.

"Hey, don't be so ungrateful. Didn't you all make it to the quarterfinals by drawing lots? Now it's just a matter of returning to where you belong!"

"Go home, kid, go home, that's where you belong!"

"Thanks to the other team for the gift package, we accepted it!"

Although Zhang Jingtian couldn't hear the discussions of the audience outside, he knew with his toes that they must look down on his identity as a platinum card maker.

At this time, Zhang Jingtian put his hands in his pockets, raised his head and looked at his opponent in front of him: "Then let's start!"

The big man opposite laughed: "I know you are a temporary replacement, and I am not targeting you. You can't beat me, just admit defeat."

However, Zhang Jingtian shook his head, his eyes very firm: "No need, I'm not as weak as you think, at least let's have a competition first?"

Seeing Zhang Jingtian's confident look, the big man laughed.

Come to think of it, he still likes confident opponents like Zhang Jingtian.

"Okay, then I'll do my best."

At this time, the effect of the venue card still exists.

When Zhang Jingtian summoned Zakiram, she immediately smelled a strange scent.

"I feel like I'm getting weaker."

Zhang Jingtian hummed, "You're not wrong. The opponent has activated the Field Card, and the effect should simply be to weaken the enemy."

The effect of this type of venue card should be the most basic. But for a card maker like Zhang Jingtian who doesn't have a venue card, it is still a big trouble.

Fortunately, Zakiram remained confident: "It's okay, we can control the opponent! I think I can win."
