Background / History
The Extreme Martial Arts Hall was founded by Hong during humanity's perilous struggle against the monsters of the Wilderness Zone. Its stated purpose was not political power or profit, but producing martial artists capable of defending humanity and eventually reclaiming lost lands 105.
After roughly thirty years of growth, it became the world's most renowned and powerful martial-artist organization. Its branches operate worldwide, and its strength is surpassed or closely contested only by the Thunder Martial Arts Hall 5 10.
Its exact founding circumstances are uncertain. Rumors connect a meeting between Hong and Thor immediately before the establishment of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and Thunder Martial Arts Hall, but the available accounts are explicitly unreliable 10.
The hall developed especially strongly in Huaxia Nation's base cities. Huaxia provided land, personnel, resources, and political support, while the hall supplied martial artists and high-level combatants to defend base cities during beast tides and confront Lord-level monsters 10.
Organization
Leadership and hierarchy
- Hall Master Hong — Founder, global chief hall master, and the world's strongest warrior. His presence is the hall's greatest deterrent against powerful monsters and hostile forces 10 62 94.
- Five Great Inspectors — The hall's highest-ranking figures beneath Hong; they commonly handle decisions because Hong rarely intervenes in routine affairs 10 93.
- Inspectors — Powerful senior personnel responsible for major operations, recruitment, investigations, and base-city security. An Inspector is a position second only to Hong in the hall's hierarchy 78 93.
- Base-city leadership — Major local headquarters are led by presidents and department heads, such as Jiangnan Base City's president Zhou Zhengyong and its three department heads 62.
- Local halls and Limit Dojos — Branches provide student instruction, testing, training facilities, and martial-artist assessments 5 17.
Facilities and security
The Jiangnan City headquarters, known as the Extreme General Hall, is a heavily guarded complex with armed personnel and a one-hundred-meter-wide main gate 9. Its upper-floor training hall contains equipment capable of enduring the force of an advanced War God 66.
The global headquarters in Hongning Base City is an enormous spaceship-like structure more than ten thousand meters long. It employs strict security, including armed guards, identity checks, blue-light access systems, and aerial defenses against unauthorized flyers 95 105.
Within Huaxia Nation, the hall's base-city headquarters are permitted to maintain private armed security forces because of their special role in protecting martial artists and supporting humanity's defense 10.
Training System
Limit Dojos
Limit Dojos serve as local training centers and examination sites. The Jiangdu District dojo includes separate primary, intermediate, and advanced student teaching buildings 5.
The Advanced Student Teaching Building contains:
- First and second floors for instructor lectures.
- A third-floor practice hall for advanced students.
- A fourth-floor warm-up and training area for instructors, teachers, and qualified prospective martial artists 5.
The hall's prospective martial-artist assessment results are recognized internationally, making its examinations attractive even to military personnel and members of other factions 17.
Basic Training Camp
The Basic Training Camp is located at the global headquarters in Hongning Base City. A Special Training Contract can grant admission, providing selected talents with advanced training and access to higher-level internal resources 7 63.
Elite Training Camp
The Elite Training Camp is the hall's highest-profile training institution and is located at the global headquarters in Hongning Base City 52.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Reputation | Widely regarded as the world's number-one training camp and nicknamed the “War God Preparatory Camp.” 52 66 |
| Admission | Extremely competitive; even major conglomerates may be unable to buy a single placement. 66 |
| Instructors | At minimum War God-level martial artists; high-level War Gods, inspectors, and occasionally Hong provide instruction. 52 |
| Facilities | Includes the Ninefold Tower, virtual-space testing, advanced equipment, gravity chambers, and treasures recovered from ancient civilization ruins. 67 74 |
| Ranking system | Students are ranked, with resources, rewards, and consequences tied to placement. 74 |
| Trial Tower rewards | Reaching level 5 can earn exceptional rewards, including an Inspector position and a Black God set. 78 |
The camp's reputation is dangerous as well as prestigious: approximately ninety percent of entrants reportedly become War Gods, while the remaining ten percent are said to be crippled, die, or suffer worse outcomes during training 52.
Membership and Recruitment
Ordinary martial artists generally choose among the military, the HR Underground Alliance, and martial-artist organizations only after passing the Martial Artist Combat Assessment. This is an unwritten agreement intended to prevent factions from fighting over unproven recruits 7.
Exceptional geniuses are treated differently. The Extreme Martial Arts Hall competes directly with other major powers by offering substantial resources, contracts, training opportunities, and access to Hongning Base City 6 7.
Standard and genius benefits
| Recruit type | Documented benefits |
|---|---|
| Ordinary martial artist | A villa and 1 million Huaxia Currency in startup capital 7 |
| Genius martial artist | A villa, 20 million Huaxia Currency in startup capital, and a Guidance Technique, Blade Technique Manual, and Movement Technique Manual worth up to 50 million in total 7 |
| Special Training Contract holder | Access to advanced headquarters training, expanded Home of Extremes permissions, and possible progression toward the Elite Training Camp 7 63 |
| Special recruitment contract holder | May receive operating funds, equipment, manuals, Dragon Blood, and ancient-civilization relic rewards tied to combat-power-amplification goals 93 94 |
Membership offers fighters broad freedom compared with more restrictive affiliations, while also giving them access to assistance from fellow hall members across different regions 5 7.
Home of Extremes
Home of Extremes is the exclusive internal network for Extreme Martial Arts Hall fighters. Each fighter receives a unique ID and account linked directly to their personal identity and internal funds 32.
Functions
- Purchase weapons, combat uniforms, protective gear, communication systems, vehicles, medicines, genetic agents, explosives, special materials, treasures, and secret manuals 32.
- Access martial-artist forums, including higher-level forums when granted sufficient permissions 63.
- Accept or post missions.
- Use private chat and video-call functions.
- Study cultivation material and purchase insights from other martial artists.
- Donate and earn contribution points 32 63.
Contribution points are primarily earned by hunting monsters. They are required for access to some internal manuals and can provide significant purchase discounts 7 32 34.
Secret manuals cannot be purchased by proxy; purchases are entered into a shared database involving the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Thunder Martial Arts Hall, and HR Alliance to protect intellectual-property rights and verify authorized use 34.
Relationships
- Hong — Founder and Hall Master; his individual strength underpins the hall's global authority and monster-deterrence role 10 62.
- Thunder Martial Arts Hall — The hall's principal rival. Despite fierce institutional competition, Hong and Thunder Hall founder Thor remain close allies who founded their organizations to strengthen humanity 5 94 105.
- Huaxia Nation — Longstanding partner. Huaxia provides support and resources, while the hall supplies high-level martial artists for base-city defense and beast-tide crises 10.
- HR Underground Alliance — Competes for talented martial artists and shares a joint authorization database for secret-manual purchases 7 34.
- Five Great Nations — The hall is politically independent and possesses greater top-tier combat strength than any single nation, though it does not seek to replace governments 10.
Notable Policies and Principles
- The hall trains martial artists to fight monsters, not to provoke conflict between human factions 7.
- Its leadership prohibits internal strife and regards the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Thunder Martial Arts Hall, governments, and military as parts of a larger human cause 105.
- Local inspectors are expected to defend base cities during crises, confront Lord-level monsters, and repel beast tides 10.
- Hong's stated view is that a powerful martial artist remains valuable to humanity regardless of whether they belong to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Thunder Martial Arts Hall, military, or another faction 105.
