Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 298 Back to school
Zhang Jingtian finally killed the man in front of him.

Although he knew that there was no point in doing this, because it had already happened.

However, he also knew that when he faced such a culprit, he would find it difficult to vent his anger if he did not kill him.

"So people shouldn't pursue eternity or power; those things are almost like curses."

After Zhang Jingtian finished speaking, he left the portrait.

It was finally over, and the monster, having witnessed the entire story, laughed:

"So it's all because of your human greed, and now, the Scourge has also come to your world because of greed..."

After it finished speaking, it finally chose to fall asleep.

And so, Zhang Jingtian looked at the monster and committed suicide.

This must be the most unique monster Zhang Jingtian has ever seen.

Now, he only has one target left to hunt down.

However, Zhang Jingtian learned too much on this trip, so he felt he needed to rest and sort out his emotions.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jingtian decided to go back.

When he returned to the Shanghai Academy of Card Games, he found that almost all the students had disappeared.

Finally, he found one of the staff members and asked them, only to find out that the Shanghai Card Room was now closed for the holidays.

Because the school is indeed facing enormous pressure.

Even with their principal and deans in charge, the Scourge continued to attack relentlessly.

Some students, however, simply couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to leave the college.

As a result, they were killed directly by the Scourge forces waiting at the school gate.

Zhang Jingtian sighed, knowing that the world could never return to its normal state.

Their school has been pretty good so far.

On the streets, he even saw many corpses; the entire city looked like a mass grave.

Even Shanghai is like this, and Zhang Jingtian can hardly imagine what the other cities will be like next.

When Zhang Jingtian went to look for their principal, he learned that the principal had gone out.

Because a very powerful natural disaster army suddenly arrived in Shanghai, the principal has already gone there to help.

The person who received Zhang Jingtian was their vice principal.

This vice principal could be said to have watched Zhang Jingtian enroll.

However, Zhang Jingtian is now stronger than him.

However, the vice principal had a good attitude. He knew that there was still a big gap between geniuses and ordinary people like him.

Moreover, Zhang Jingtian is so powerful that I actually feel safer with him.

After all, the principal has temporarily left. If the Scourge army really attacks later, he will probably need to rely on Zhang Jingtian to deal with those monsters.

"Does the principal need my help?"

Zhang Jingtian sat down opposite the other person and asked softly.

"Not for now. Although the opponent is very strong, the strength we sent is not bad either. So they should be fine."

Hearing the other person's words, Zhang Jingtian finally nodded and said, "I see, then I'm relieved. But during the time I was gone, could you tell me what the current situation is?"

The person opposite sighed, his face dark, and said with distress, "This is bad, the Ugly Country is about to collapse."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingtian's expression also turned serious. The current situation seemed to be even worse than he had anticipated.

"How could this happen..." Zhang Jingtian bit his lip and whispered.

"Yes," the man sighed, "that's how it is for now, but it's not as hopeless as it seems."

Because we still have the strength to fight. And while the Scourge initially came on strong, their staying power isn't that great. Recently, it's been clear that their combat strength has weakened considerably.

And most importantly, they are now frequently fighting amongst themselves, so this presents an opportunity for us.

Then the man looked at Zhang Jingtian and said, "Moreover, the monsters you dealt with using those divine cards have also relieved a lot of pressure."

Therefore, we all believe that as long as we persevere and get through this most difficult time, we still have hope.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingtian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was indeed worried that the human side would collapse before he even became a god-level card maker and could dominate the world.

"By the way," the vice principal glanced at Zhang Jingtian, then began to sense Zhang Jingtian's spiritual power.

A moment later, the vice principal looked at Zhang Jingtian with an envious gaze:
"Your mental strength seems to be about to break through again."

When the vice principal said these words, his tone was full of envy.

After all, he himself doesn't know how long he'll have to wait to break through!

As a result, Zhang Jingtian broke through in the blink of an eye, which brought him a huge sense of disappointment.

It's hard not to envy them.

“Right?” Zhang Jingtian smiled, then said something that would make the vice principal envious to tears: “I never thought that one day I could actually become a top card maker.”

In fact, everyone knows that in the world of card making, the limit you can reach through hard work is probably becoming a diamond card maker.

Every step after that requires exceptional talent.

Those who can become top-tier card makers like Zhang Jingtian are one in ten thousand, and it might not happen even once every few decades.

If this were peacetime, the Shanghai Card Academy would definitely seize the opportunity to buy dozens of trending topics and boast about it every day.

However, for now, the Shanghai Card Room can only remain a mystery.

After all, being too high-profile would definitely attract the attention of the fanatical Scourge.

"Once I finish processing the last colored card, I should be able to reach the level of a top-tier card maker."

Zhang Jingtian then stood up. He had basically achieved his goal, so he was now considering leaving.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

However, the vice principal stopped Zhang Jingtian at this moment and then said in an embarrassed tone:

"Um, why don't you stay here tonight?"

Zhang Jingtian looked at the vice principal with a puzzled expression and whispered, "What happened?"

Only then did the vice principal slowly speak:

"That's right. Now that the principal is gone, I'm worried that the Scourge might also know about this. Given their sensitivity, they're very likely to take advantage of this time difference to attack us."

So I hope you can stay at school; that way, we'll be safer.
