Eastsea Academy

Biodata

Background / History

Eastsea Academy is Donghai City’s only intermediate Soul Master academy. Despite Donghai City being the Sun Moon Federation’s second-largest coastal city, the academy had repeatedly performed poorly in the Tianhai Alliance Tournament, embarrassing city officials and exposing a weakness in the city’s soul master education. 74

To address this, Dean Long Hengxu quickly approved the creation of Zero Class, concentrating emerging talents into a specialized class. Its members included Situ Xuan, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan under Wu Zhangkong. 32 74

Situ Xuan enrolled at age ten using a recommendation letter from Hongshan Academy in Aolai City. He entered the academy seeking stronger opponents than those available in his hometown. 4 5 After being recruited by Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Body Sect, he chose to complete his current semester at Eastsea Academy before transferring. 102

Campus and Student Support

• Dormitories — New students receive school uniforms and dormitory assignments; Situ Xuan was assigned to Dormitory 208. 5
• B3 Training Area — A semi-open circular sparring ground surfaced with treated black volcanic rock and lined with equipment racks. 6
• C7 Training Room — A specialized training room containing equipment for physical conditioning, including iron chains, blunt blades, and custom wooden dummies. 8
• Scholarship support — Outstanding students can receive academy scholarships to subsidize cultivation expenses, including medicinal ingredients. 59
• Spirit Ascension Platform access — The academy arranged Zero Class’s entry into the Donghai Spirit Transmission Tower. 32

Educational Approach

Eastsea Academy’s early training under Long Xiuyuan emphasized practical combat and physical development. In B3 Training Area, students could spar in pairs using Martial Soul assistance but without Soul Skills, stopping at the first point of contact. 6

Long Xiuyuan applied training methods used by the East Sea Legion: weight training, reaction training, and impact-resistance training. He regarded Situ Xuan’s Body Martial Soul as requiring all-round physical development rather than reliance on conventional soul skills. 8

Wu Zhangkong later led Zero Class through practical combat, Spirit Ascension Platform experiences, and external final examinations, including an examination site at the East Sea Soul Guidance Technology Park. 32 60 106
