Chapter 435: Would Rather Kill John Than Let Him Go
The spiritual fire in the Cinnabar Tower could stir the violent tendencies of a sorcerer. If John truly was one, then he would avoid reaching the seventh floor—lest he lose control.
Mark had considered this possibility. He glanced at Nancy and asked, "What did you say about John's personality?"
"Overbearing and aggressive," she replied without hesitation. The image of John slaughtering the three masters that night was etched into her memory—it had been brutal and overwhelming.
She had never met anyone so relentlessly fierce.
Mark nodded. "A person like that is competitive to the bone. He'll push to reach the seventh floor or higher. If he doesn't, he's hiding something."
Although Mark had told John to casually pick a tripod, he knew someone like John wouldn't do anything halfheartedly. He'd fight his way up, even if it wasn't necessary.
After all, he had already proven his strength—defeating cultivators in the golden crystal period. Reaching the eighth or ninth floor of the tower should be no challenge for him.
So, if John had the power but chose to stop below the seventh floor, that could only mean one thing:
He was suppressing something. Hiding something.
"You're saying," Nancy said with a frown, "that if he doesn't reach the seventh floor, then he must be a sorcerer?"
She found the logic... uncomfortable. The entire test was based on Mark's psychological analysis of John's personality. What if Mark was wrong?
