Spirit Hall Academy

Biodata

Campus & Facilities

• Location: The main campus occupies an entire mountain range beyond the border where the Two Great Empires meet. Spirit City lies within reach of it 36 501.
• Mimic Training Grounds: Cultivation environments include artificial lakes, underground lava, forests, and a Sea of Thunder made with Thunder Attribute plant-type spirit beasts 36.
• Spirit beast forest: An enclosed forest contains Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts and is used for assessments, experience, and spirit ring hunts 36.
• Gifted-student facilities: Villa-like residences stand at the foot of the mountain, while an exclusive teaching building admits a small number of gifted students 36.
• Gravity Chamber: A training device built around a Heavy Tortoise Spine Bone uses a repurposed Spirit Guiding Array; students can cultivate under differing levels of gravity 59 60.

Faculty & Student System

• Staff: Two Titled Douluo are stationed at the academy year-round for student protection. Several Spirit Douluo, more than a dozen Soul Saints, and numerous Soul Emperors teach there; many of these instructors teach while resting between missions 36.
• Student ranks: New students receive medals following aptitude evaluations. Cultivation breakthroughs, mission merits, and strong academic-year results can qualify them for promotion, additional resources, and better teaching guidance 36.
• Gifted-student training: Xia Tianling and two companions initially studied in Spirit City because they were considered too important to expose before they could protect themselves. They moved on to academy combat training after gaining strength 36.

Admissions & Education

Su Yuntao first offers Xia Tianling free, exam-free admission after his Innately Level 19 Soul Power is discovered. Xia later recruits Oscar and Ma Hongjun, offering Ma Hongjun tuition, living expenses, cultivation resources, and help obtaining spirit rings at no cost—support his family could not otherwise afford 3 17.

The academy exchanges students and knowledge with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Spirit Hall contributes its extensive soul beast research, while the sect shares its martial soul research; visiting sect disciples use the academy’s Gravity Chamber and Weighted Soft Armor 115.

Education reforms

• Branch network: More than fifty advanced academies and over a hundred primary and intermediate academies announce restructuring under Spirit Hall Academy. Former intermediate academies are merged into primary or advanced schools 359.
• Advancement: A primary student who obtains one spirit ring can receive a diploma and take a standardized examination for advanced admission. The written examination covers moral character, martial souls, and soul beasts; cultivation is assessed over time 359.
• Access and costs: Spirit Hall academies abolish distinctions between commoners and nobles. Work-study enrollment has no quota or tuition charge; students can work to cover basic living and textbook costs. A Spirit Hall sponsorship agreement also covers those costs and future breakthrough rings in exchange for employment after graduation 359.
• Curriculum: Moral Character classes, foundational Soul Master knowledge, and examinations become part of the restructured system 361.

Tournament History

• Elite team: Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong compete among the academy’s prominent young Soul Masters. Xia Tianling is listed as the academy team’s captain, though he competes separately during the tournament 36 291 295.
• Internal match: The Spirit Hall Academy Team faces Xia Tianling in the fourth round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. It loses, but its combined attacks impress the audience 295 296 299.
• Later record: Ten years after Spirit Hall’s founding, two students from the academy’s Inner Court enter the tournament as Soul Saints with entirely Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, surpassing Xia Tianling’s former tournament Soul Power record 536.
