Under the rules of the Preliminary Tournament for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the top five teams received prize money. Regardless of their ranking, each team received ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Qian Chongling held this in utter contempt.
This was stinginess's mother opening the door for stinginess-stinginess had truly come home.
Why did he say that?
After all, when Prince Xue Xing had bought a cat at the auction, he had spent ten times that prize money. Had someone bid against him, it probably would have been twenty times.

Once they graduated, the imperial royal family's doors would always be open to them, and their fiefs would be allocated together after graduation.
In other words, if these students wanted the titles, they would have to join the Heaven Dou Empire after graduation and serve it.
In both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, noble ranks descended in this order: Grand Duke, Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, Baron, and Knight.
