The Douluo Arena was an extremely important area within Shrek Academy. It was located at the northwest corner of the Martial Soul Department, near Shrek City.
It was also a place frequently visited by many upper-year students. Various competitions could be held here, with dedicated teachers acting as referees to determine victory and defeat, protect the students, provide aid, treatment, and so on.
Naturally, all of this required payment.
For a Soul Fighting match, both sides had to pay at least ten Gold Soul Coins as a venue fee. Even so, many students never tired of it. Fighting here came without any restrictions, and they did not need to worry about going too far and causing danger. The teachers serving as referees would keep things well under control. At the same time, winning matches in the Douluo Arena earned a certain amount of credits, which could add points during yearly examinations.
After Fourth Year, Douluo Arena credits became mandatory for advancing further. For example, advancing from Fourth Year to Fifth Year required at least ten victories over opponents of the same year in the Douluo Arena. Advancing from Fifth Year to sixth year required even more. After sixth year, Douluo Arena credits became especially important for entering the Inner Court.
Matches in the Douluo Arena were open to all students as well, provided they paid the fee. Admission cost one Silver Soul Coin.
However, if it was being used for teaching, both competing and watching were free of charge.
The Douluo Arena was hexagonal and roughly the same size as Shrek Plaza. The center was a vast open space where students competed. Rows of seats rose gradually around it, capable of holding around three thousand people at once.
