Within Mingde Hall, ranks were strictly divided according to authorization privileges.
Soul Engineers were also distinguished as researchers, research assistants, and ordinary Soul Engineers.
Researchers usually had their own research projects. They answered directly to Mingde Hall itself, could apply for research funding, and led assistants and ordinary Soul Engineers in developing projects to overcome corresponding Soul Tool technologies.

"Besides, Mingde Hall has recently intensified its research into the Aperture Path. The support is unprecedented. If I can produce some major results, perhaps opening an independent research project won't be impossible."
Excitement flashed through Su Yue's eyes.
Su Qian frowned slightly.
