Spirit Hall
Douluo: Yuhao's Counterattack on Tang San
Biodata
| Feature | Information |
|---|---|
| Name | Spirit Hall |
| Occupation/Role | Continent-wide Soul Master institution; administers Martial Soul awakenings, maintains Soul Master records, and operates Spirit Halls across Douluo Continent |
| Status | Later merged into the Douluo Federation 499 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 10 |
Background
Spirit Hall's founding date is unknown, but it had existed for at least ten thousand years and accumulated the continent's most comprehensive Martial Soul records. 44
During the era of the Angel Clan, it provided free Martial Soul awakenings and monthly stipends to talented Soul Masters regardless of whether they joined the organization. Its Angel Martial Soul inheritance also heavily suppressed Evil Spirit Masters, driving many into hiding or toward the City of Slaughter. 15 19 122
Spirit Hall's influence extended into remote villages through local branches and stewards. These personnel conducted annual awakenings, collected intelligence on commoners' Martial Souls, and identified potential Soul Masters outside noble and sect bloodlines. 20
