Chen Xiaojun asked softly, "Then how does your academy view the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament? From what I've seen, you don't seem to concentrate your resources on the competitors."
Mu Zilian smiled and nodded. "Of course we take it seriously. How could we not? Every time, we select our finest Soul Masters to compete in this grand Soul Master Tournament, and we allocate a portion of our resources to them."
She then added calmly, "But the two don't conflict. After all, only a dozen or so elite Soul Masters participate in the tournament, while our academy's Upper Division has hundreds of students. We have a responsibility to them."
"Besides, we don't just participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. The Intermediate Soul Master Tournament and every other prestigious Soul Master Tournament are also on our radar."
"That way, good results improve our reputation and help us attract more outstanding students, while also earning us more resources and funding from the authorities."
Chen Xiaojun was visibly taken aback. "So there's an Intermediate Soul Master Tournament too?"
Mu Zilian gave him a slightly puzzled look. "Of course. Since it's called the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, it's a competition between advanced academies. Naturally, intermediate academies have their own Intermediate Soul Master Tournament. Both are competitions held under the Academy Alliance."
"Of course, the Advanced Soul Master Tournament receives more attention from the Two Great Empires, Spirit Hall, and the public."
"Besides, Soul Master organizations across the Whole Continent are as numerous as hairs on an ox, so naturally, there are countless kinds of competitions. The Advanced Soul Master Tournament is simply the largest and most famous."
Chen Xiaojun marveled inwardly, *Now this is the breadth of vision an advanced academy should have. What kind of bullshit were those academies in Douluo
