After everything was settled, Ling Yan temporarily put down some of his worries.

The most important thing right now was to quickly increase his own strength. As long as he was strong enough to protect himself from harm or attract the attention of the leaders of the large families, joining an organization would greatly reduce his own danger.

Ouyang Chao was probably the one who wanted him dead the most, moreover, Ouyang Chao was from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, one of the eight great clans of the Southern Tong Kingdom.

Thus, if Ling Yan wanted to protect himself, he must obtain the favor of the imperial family!

With the royal family supporting him, no matter how brazen Ouyang Chao was, he wouldn't dare to do whatever he wanted.

However, all of this still required him to have sufficient capital.

Ling Yan slightly narrowed his black eyes. He believed that the title of Crimson Nimbus Guild's Number One Freshman might not be taken seriously by the Royal Family.

However, for a freshman to obtain the title of one hundred and eight generals of Chi Xiao and defeat the eighty-eighth genius of the Thousand Military Array, this amount of capital should be enough to attract the attention of the royal family.

I heard that the students of the Crimson Nimbus Martial School who performed outstandingly will be invited by the leaders of the influential families to sign an agreement to serve them after graduation. Moreover, they will also be provided with cultivation resources.

But at the moment, Ling Yan hadn't been invited by anyone. It was likely that the leaders of those large families had hesitated.

After all, it had only been less than half a year since he had entered the academy. Although the early stages looked like they had amazing potential, some geniuses would gradually lose their potential and slowly lose it.

This was because the level of talent that the leaders of the large families saw in a single student was most likely based on the ranking of the Thousand Military Array. The rank of the Array basically showed the level of a person's strength, and the number of people that went up and down didn't exceed a few.

The younger one was, the higher their ranking would be, and the greater their talent would be!

Therefore, when Ling Yan thought back to how he had not participated in the Thousand Military Array last month, he estimated that his rank had already dropped.
