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.

Perhaps it was because of this that the leaders of the large families began to hesitate over whether they should invite Ye Xiao or not.

Those who were jealous of him must be overjoyed to see such a situation unfold.

Thinking of this, Ling Yan smiled. There was still half a month until the end of this month. During this half month, he would train at Great South Mountain and then go to the Thousand Military Array to add to his fire!

Every month at Crimson Nimbus Martial School, he still had to obtain the special formation cultivation time. The Thunder Extreme Array was too helpful in raising his strength.

According to his current strength, it would be easy for him to regain the title of one hundred and eight generals of Chi Xiao. Moreover, he might even give those people who were taking pleasure in his misfortune a blind pleasant surprise.

With the current situation, the more high-profile he was, the easier it would be for him to attract attention. In that case, Ling Yan's black eyes flashed. When the time comes, a grand opening would follow!

Ling Yan took Hua Longning's 50-square-meter storage ring and placed it inside his storage ring. His equipment had also been upgraded.

Shaking the index finger of his left hand, which was still wearing his new storage ring, Ling Yan felt carefree. This was the richest time he had ever seen such a thing.

Arriving at the pond, Ling Yan put his clothes into his storage ring and jumped in.

"Splash!" A splash as high as a person's height caused the ground on the shore to be drenched bit by bit.

This time, when Ling Yan calmed down, he found that the pool contained a strange energy. This energy was very weak and gentle, and it was contained in the river.

As long as a person's spiritual sense was sharp enough, they would be wrapped by a comfortable and warm aura. In this situation, the fatigue on their entire body would gradually disperse. The speed at which they circulated their cultivation technique was also faster than usual.

What a magical place! Ling Yan's eyes were filled with surprise. Cultivating here could also achieve twice the results with half the effort.

At this time, Ling Yan was leaning against the shore, his eyes closed. With a flip of his left hand, a deep blue true essence stone appeared. As he soaked in the hot spring water, he began to absorb the pure energy within the true essence stone and revolve the 'Wild Gold Body Tactic'.
