Spirit Hall

Biodata

Organization

Central institutions

• Spirit City — Spirit Hall's lavish central city, situated between the two great empires and near the Star Dou Great Forest. Its position helps limit imperial conflict and guard against spirit-beast incursions. 160 285
• Pope's Palace — The Pope's seat in Spirit City. Only the Pope, Titled Douluo, and Spirit Hall Elders may use its main gate. 162 169
• Elder Hall — A body containing Titled Douluo-level elders, including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo before their deaths. 207 234
• Worship Hall — Spirit Hall's deeper reserve of elite power, led by Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu. Its members generally remain in seclusion and do not act lightly. 217 235
• Spirit Sacred Hall — Spirit Hall's highest-ranking institution; direct admission provides access to its foremost authority, benefits, and cultivation resources. 130

Reach and personnel

• Spirit Hall maintains branches across the continent, including in small villages. Its local presence enables continent-wide notices, surveillance, and bounty distribution. 226
• Red-robed bishops oversee major functions in Spirit City, including receiving and directing academy delegations during the Elite Competition finals. 160
• Platinum Bishop Salas commands the Spirit Sacred Hall in Heaven Dou Imperial City and leads investigations against Shrek in Sunset Forest. 274

Services and influence

• Spirit Hall registers newly advanced Spirit Masters, issuing a Soul Master Badge and a Gold Soul Coin to Tang San after he obtains his first spirit ring. 12
• It hosts the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition finals in Spirit City, using the event to display its resources and attract young Spirit Masters. 162
• Salas openly offers exceptional competitors direct admission to the Spirit Sacred Hall during the Heaven Dou preliminary round. 130
• Spirit Hall's prestige among common Spirit Masters is immense; Xiao Xian considers that, without its public mishandling of his pursuit, a call to arms could bring sixty to seventy percent of the continent's Spirit Masters under its banner. 231
• After Xiao Xian assumes control, Spirit Hall expands Soul Master Academies from city-based stations to roughly one academy for every few villages. 294

Leadership

• Xie Yue — Hu Liena's brother, a level-fifty-two Soul King and captain-level member of Spirit Hall Academy's team. 166
• Yan — A level-fifty-two Flame Lord Soul King of Spirit Hall Academy's team. 166

Elite Competition

Spirit Hall uses the finals in Spirit City as both a contest and a demonstration of its authority. The final matches are held before Pope's Palace, under the Pope's observation, and the event receives resources neither great empire would readily spend. 162

Spirit Hall Academy Team

• Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Bewitching Charm, reduces senses, Soul Power, and movement by fifty percent within its range. 167
• Spirit Hall permits Blazing Academy members to join another finals team through a loophole in the competition rules, prompting Master's suspicion of manipulation. 163
• After Spirit Hall Academy members verbally warn Yan during his match with Xiao Xian, Master publicly protests the interference. Bibi Dong bans further verbal reminders and orders the offending student disciplined after the finals. 174
• Bibi Dong publicly acknowledges Master as “Elder Yu,” using his Elder Token to protect him from backlash for defying Spirit Hall. 175

Conflict with Shrek Academy

Targeting Xiao Xian

Spirit Hall's relationship with Shrek deteriorates after Xiao Xian becomes a major threat and refuses its recruitment.

• Shrek believes Spirit Hall arranged an assassination attempt against Xiao Xian before the finals in Spirit City. 160 161
• Hu Liena warns Xiao Xian that Bibi Dong intends to personally act against him unless he joins Spirit Hall. She offers to sponsor him as Spirit Hall's Holy Son. 200
• Xiao Xian refuses to join despite the offer, choosing to leave the City of Slaughter through Hell Road. 200
• Chrysanthemum Douluo pursues Xiao Xian through Heaven Dou City, seeking to kill him over his dragon-type Martial Soul and spirit bones. 211

• Spirit Hall's pressure forces Shrek Academy to abandon its original home, while its members become known as the “Shrek Remnants.” 218 268

Reorganization under Xiao Xian

Xiao Xian eventually takes control of Spirit Hall with Qian Daoliu's assistance, defeats Bibi Dong, and becomes its new Pope. 294

• He creates the Golden Sacred Dragon Beginner Meditation Method, allowing ordinary people to cultivate Soul Power. 294
• The method faces resistance from nobles and Spirit Masters who fear that universal Soul Power cultivation will undermine their privileged status. 294
• Xiao Xian uses the method to expand Spirit Hall's influence and gather faith for his ascension to godhood. 294
• The Heaven Dou Empire and later the Star Luo Empire merge into the Spirit Hall Empire, which is subsequently known as the Shrek Empire. 294
