Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 222: Captured

Chapter 222: Captured

'This should do.'

Lin Xiao memorized the three of them before he glanced at his incense stick. Upon seeing that he still had some time, he searched for the skill book that was related to the skills he already had.

However, the first floor only contained the information to the extent of what he had already knew before. There was not much use to stay there anymore. However, Lin Xiao still walked around and came across an engraving at the wall.

'Power.'

There was only word, yet that one word was infused with some kind of will that attracted Lin Xiao's attention. For some reason, he couldn't pull himself away and felt as if he was seeing a powerful battle.

With power, one could break everything.

In front of absolute power, all tricks and everything else was useless!

Without him realizing it, the dragon power within Lin Xiao's body was agitated as it started to circulate within his body. The state didn't last long and by the time Lin Xiao snapped back to reality, he realized that his time was almost up.

'You're awake?'

'Yeah, what's that?'

'It's the wording left behind by a powerful Emperor in this place. Those who see and read it will be able to experience the battle and will that the Emperor left behind in the past.'

Lin Xiao nodded and looked at the word for a while longer. He felt a bit unwilling to leave the place because the word seemed to resonate within him. It was so powerful and left a deep impression within his mind.

'Time to go out.'

Since his time was almost up, Lin Xiao walked out of the Book Pavilion first floor to the front. Looking at the row of teachers there, his lips pursed. He knew that they were already waiting for him.

"Lin Xiao, do you know your mistake?"

"What mistake?" Lin Xiao asked back. His eyes were placid as he looked at the teacher in front of him.

"Harming an Imperial Family member."

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "In this academy, everyone is nothing more than students, isn't it?"

"You dare to cripple a prince, do you think we would not take any action to you?" a teacher asked back coldly.

Beside him, Teacher Su Luo, who already had bad impression of Lin Xiao, was in an even sourer mood. She favored those with background and had good talent so what Lin Xiao did was absolutely unforgivable in her eyes. "You're nothing more than a trash. Someone like you should just stay silent when you're faced with the prince."

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. He sneered. "Prince Lin Kai attempted to cripple my younger brother but I'm not allowed to fight back just because I'm weak and don't have any background. Teacher, are you dumb? You're saying as if those without any background couldn't have power no matter what.

Do you forget that we're all cultivators? We're all fighting to become stronger so that we could go against anyone under the Heaven? Isn't that why there are a lot of people who are cultivating and tried to change their fate? Isn't it funny that there's a law that said we're not allowed to fight back unless we have good background?"

"You, shut up!"

A teacher raised his hand to stop Teacher Su Luo from continuing with her words. "Student Lin Xiao, please follow us. While you didn't break the school rules, but you have destroyed the future of a student. Because of that, you'll be locked for three months in the prison."

Lin Xiao nodded. He knew that Elder w.a.n.g must have already persuaded them one way or another so that his punishment wouldn't be that much. Three months was nothing much for him. He could use the time to train and get stronger. Eventually, it would be proven beneficial for him because he did need the power.

Walking out of the building, Lin Xiao realized that there were already several students who were waiting there. Many wanted to know what would happen to Lin Xiao and they had already heard what he was saying.

"Brother…" Lin Yun looked at his brother with worried expression.

Lin Xiao smiled rea.s.suringly. "I'll be fine. Focus on getting stronger. When I come out, we'll take some missions."

Lin Yun furrowed his eyebrows but he nodded. "Please take care."

"I know."

The students were all discussing by themselves when they were waiting outside. Hearing what Lin Xiao said in his defense resonate within them. Just how many of them actually have powerful background? There were only a few of them who did while most of them only have low background.

The low might not be as low as Lin Xiao, who had no one. However, those with only small power would know that they were also afraid of offending those with power. What Lin Xiao said struck them to their heart the most.

Just because they didn't have anyone to back them up, would they be deprived of their right to fight back?

That was unacceptable.

Unknowingly, that day, there were a lot of students who looked at Teacher Su Luo with unkind expression. They had decided to no longer follow this teacher. At first, they did accept that Teacher Su Luo was quite biased towards those with background and good talent.

But now…

If she was like that, the students knew that they had no reason to follow her. She might even put them down if they dared to go against the student with power just because of her bias.

Since then, only a handful of student would attend Teacher Su Luo's cla.s.s much to her rage.

In the mean time, Lin Xiao was brought to the prison and then put there. The prison was mostly empty with only a bed and a window that showed the sun.

"You'll be staying here for a month."

Lin Xiao looked around then looked at the teacher in confusion. "There's no bathroom?"

"There."

Looking at the item that the teacher pointed at, Lin Xiao was speechless.
