Chapter 538 Faith’s Vanity
“You idiot! Do you think you can challenge me once more?”
John suddenly strode forward and gave Keith a loud slap. Keith didn’t expect John would slap him. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
“You…”
Keith was furious. After he found his footing, he was about to fight back. However, when he saw John’s playful eyes, he was stunned again.
Damn it! It was this look again!
There was a hint of coldness in John’s playful eyes as if everything was under his control.
In the previous competition, Keith was frightened by John’s look like this.
At this moment, this look appeared on John’s face. Keith was a little afraid again.
John said with a half-smile, “I said that my Gold Core is broken. You don’t actually believe it, do you? Just admit that you are an idiot!”
These words made Keith feel nervous instantly.
That was right. John said it himself. As for whether his Gold Core was broken or not, no one could confirm it..
John had been a cultivator at Gold Core Stage. Even if his Gold Core was broken, and his strength descended to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the vital breath of a Gold Core Stage cultivator would remain on him.
John was in this situation.
When John slapped him, Keith sensed from his body that John’s vital breath was indeed at the Gold Core Stage. As for whether his strength had descended, no one knew.
Keith didn’t dare to take this risk.
In case what John said was a joke, and his Gold Core was not broken at all, Keith would be screwed!

After being slapped, Keith didn’t dare to fight back. He just stood aside silently and covered his face.
John sneered and ignored Keith. He held Kate’s hand and said, “Honey, let’s go.”
“Okay!”
Kate nodded obediently.
On the way back, Violet couldn’t help asking, “John, is your Gold Core broken?”
Obviously, Violet was also confused by the words John had used to scare Keith just now. She couldn’t tell which of John’s words was true and which was false for a while.
John looked at Violet thoughtfully and said with a smile, “Miss Moore, it seems you are very concerned about this.”
It had nothing to do with Violet whether his Gold Core was broken or not. But Violet was very concerned about this. It was nothing more than a bit of jealousy.
She would prefer to believe that John’s Gold Core was broken.
There were only two kinds of relationships between geniuses. One was appreciation. They could be good friends or rivals. It had nothing to do with the position.
Another was jealousy. It was the most common one.
Mutual jealousy and comparison among geniuses
Before John went to the Alps Mountain, Violet was one of the outstanding young people in the Alps Mountain. It was no exaggeration to praise her as a genius. Her strength caused her to have high sights. She didn’t pay attention to the ordinary men.
Until John came to the Alps Mountain, Violet’s perception of genius was overturned.
A person like John could be called a genius. The young generations in the Alps Mountain who were proud of their strength would never match John, who had striking cultivation talent.
What made Violet angry was that even if she had taken the initiative to express her feelings to John, John looked down upon her.
Violet had always been an outstanding genius since childhood. All these years, she had never been stricken. It was normal for her to have some resentment and jealousy toward John.
If John’s Gold Core was broken, Violet would feel psychologically balanced.
These were some little tricks without too much malice.
John saw through violet’s thoughts. He stared at Violet with meaningful eyes. It made Violet panic. She looked away and said, “L… Nothing, I’m just asking casually.”
“Well, since you asked casually, I won’t bother to answer it.”
Violet was speechless.
Her knuckles were white as she clenched her fists. Violet felt panicked as if countless ants were creeping into her heart. She couldn’t refute anything, so she could only glance at John in displeasure.
John’s answers were out of her expectations!
However, this trick was useful to deal with Violet.
Two people remained silent for a while.
Faith coquettishly walked toward this side quickly and met a few people. She asked in surprise, “Were you in the Thunder Marsh just now? What happened there? Why was there such a loud bang?”
The Moore’s house was the closest to the Thunder Marsh. When Faith was discussing the wedding banquet in three days, she suddenly heard thunder crackling from the direction of the Thunder Marsh.
The sound was much louder than usual.
Faith felt something was wrong, so she wanted to go there to have a look. She happened to meet John and other people who came back from there.
Violet replied, “John and Keith had competed to enter the Thunder Marsh. These sounds were made by John.”
“Oh?”
Faith’s expression froze immediately. She looked at John and said, “You made these loud sounds. John, did you enter the fifth floor of the Thunder Marsh?”
Faith was a teacher at Cloud School. She knew the situation in the Thunder Marsh.
Normally, in the Thunder Marsh, thunder and lightning were falling, but it would never make such a big sound. When people entered the fourth floor, the thunder would become louder.
Judging from these sounds just now, Faith concluded that John had at least entered the fifth floor.
Violet glanced at John with a complicated expression, thinking that this lunatic had not only entered the fifth floor, but had even bumped into the forbidden gray mist!
But John didn’t say much about it. He scratched his head with a smile and said, “Yes!”
“How about it? Didn’t a lightning strike you?”
Faith immediately became interested in it.
Of course, Faith knew the answer. If John had been stricken by lightning, he would not be able to stand here and chat with her calmly like now.
But she still asked him.
Just like the parents, to show off their children’s good grades, they pretended to be unaware and asked their children from time to time, “How did you do in the exam this time?”
It was all for the vanity.
