Chapter 222: Captured (1/2)

'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?”
