Background

Douluo Hall was conceived by Gu Yuan as a replacement for Martial Soul Hall, whose name had been associated with cruelty and evil for ten thousand years. Rather than openly restoring the former institution and provoking Shrek Academy, Gu Yuan chose a neutral name that could inherit Martial Soul Hall's methods without its historical burden. Its intended purpose was to shelter soul masters—particularly civilian soul masters—while undermining Tang San's influence over the continent. 14

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were appointed as the Hall's supreme rulers. Gu Yuan placed the old Martial Soul Hall's hidden networks, combatants, Angel Legion, resources, and external contacts under their command, while providing immortal herbs, treasures, and support from the Dragon Graveyard and Star Dou Forest. 15

The Hall began from a single northern border branch and expanded by offering free martial soul awakenings regardless of wealth, status, or family background. Talented civilians received cultivation methods, soul ring resources, and protection, allowing many commoner soul masters to rise despite the resource monopolies of nobles and sects. 18

Mission and Principles

• Provide free martial soul awakenings to commoners across the continent. 15 18
• Fund talented civilian soul masters with cultivation techniques and resources. 15 18
• Build support among commoners rather than force soul masters into service. 34
• Integrate sects, hidden Martial Soul Hall remnants, military contacts, and other allied forces. 15 18
• Oppose Tang San's continental influence and eventually challenge the God Realm's existing order. 14 16
• Protect high-level soul beasts through binding restrictions on soul-ring acquisition. 16

Organization

Leadership

• Gu Yuan — Founder and hidden architect. He created the Hall's strategy, supplied its initial resources and blueprints, and is recognized internally through the unique black Douluo Token. 14 15 41
• Bibi Dong — Supreme ruler and co-founder with Qian Renxue; later withdraws from daily administration to cultivate and safeguard the Hall's inheritance. 16 18 41
• Qian Renxue — Supreme ruler and co-founder; oversees the Hall alongside Bibi Dong and trains Ye Guyi as a future Angel God successor. 16 18 41
• Ye Lan — Current Hall Master, a level 98 Super Douluo known as the Holy Judgment Douluo. He manages the Hall's daily operations and reports directly to Gu Yuan. 41
• Canglong Douluo — Great Elder of the Worship Hall and the strongest public combatant of Douluo Hall; a level 99 Limit Douluo. 50
• Dragon Crocodile Douluo — Third Elder of the Worship Hall; a level 98 Super Douluo. 50
• Sky Fox Douluo — Fourth Elder of the Worship Hall; a level 97 Super Douluo. 50

Worship Hall

The Worship Hall is a restricted inner sanctuary within the headquarters. Even Titled Douluo elders require the Hall Master's seal to enter; its guards are Soul Douluo-level powerhouses, and its defenses combine sacred and dark power. 41

It houses the Hall's highest-ranking enshrined elders, including sixteen Super Douluo of level 95 or above. 41

Du'e Pavilion

Du'e Pavilion accepts soul masters with dark- or evil-aligned martial souls who are shunned by society. Rather than persecuting them, it teaches them to control their abilities and use them for protection. 41

• Contains twelve Titled Douluo, including three Super Douluo. 41
• Handles intelligence gathering and covert operations. 41
• Serves as one of Douluo Hall's most loyal specialized forces. 41

Soul Guidance Department

Douluo Hall operates the continent's largest Soul Guidance Research Institute outside the Sun Moon Empire. Its technology is used by the militaries of the three great empires. 41

• Level-8 soul tool masters: 8. 41
• Level-9 soul tool masters: 3. 41
• Key fields: Fixed Soul Guidance Shells, individual Soul Guidance Mecha, and large-scale military soul tools. 41
• Economic role: Soul tool revenue funds the branch network, civilian support, and further research. 41

Soul Beast Protection Rules

All Douluo Hall soul masters must swear by their martial souls that they will not hunt soul beasts of ten-thousand-year cultivation or higher for soul rings. Such rings may only be obtained through a soul beast's voluntary sacrifice. 16

• The sacrificing soul beast's complete soul and origin must be preserved. 16
• Damage to the soul beast's divine soul foundation is forbidden. 16
• Violators suffer the backlash of a divine soul contract: destruction of their origin, annihilation of their divine soul, and eternal damnation. 16
• Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue personally oversee enforcement; violators are to be executed without exception. 16

Headquarters

Douluo Hall's headquarters stands in the center of Douluo City, located at the intersection of the three great empires. The city is protected by hundred-meter walls of extreme northern cold iron inscribed with Soul Guidance Array patterns. 41

The headquarters is built around a dark-cyan-rock main hall and contains:

• Branch halls. 41
• Research institutes. 41
• Cultivation towers. 41
• Soul tool workshops. 41
• An Awakening Hall dedicated to free commoner martial soul awakenings. 41
• The restricted Worship Hall. 41

Eight black-armored Soul King guards protect the main gate. They treat commoners seeking awakening services courteously while remaining alert toward suspicious visitors. 41

Douluo Token

The black Douluo Token is made of Dragon God Crystal Jade and bears a coiled dragon surrounding the characters for “Douluo.” It was personally crafted by Bibi Dong and is the only token of its kind. 41

• Represents the founders' authority. 41
• Grants its bearer authority equivalent to meeting the Hall Master in person. 41
• Its appearance causes headquarters personnel to render the highest respect. 41

Story Role / Major Arcs

Establishment

Gu Yuan rejects the immediate revival of Martial Soul Hall, instead ordering Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue to create Douluo Hall as a politically neutral successor that could win public support without exposing their larger plans. 14

Continental Expansion

The Hall spreads across the three empires through its free-awakening policy and cultivation funding. Its rapid growth transforms it from a minor border organization into a force comparable to Shrek Academy. 18 34

Shrek Academy Enrollment

Gu Yuan uses a personal recommendation letter from the Hall Master to admit Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, Jin Ruiqiu, and Wang Qiu'er through Shrek Academy's green channel without undergoing the standard assessment. The letter's authority immediately earns the group's deference from academy staff. 24

Shrek's Apprehension

Shrek's Sea God Pavilion investigates the Douluo Hall students after witnessing their exceptional abilities. The elders become wary upon learning their origins, citing the Hall's scale, public support, and similarities to Martial Soul Hall. 33 34

Gu Yuan's Inspection

After two centuries of development, Gu Yuan visits Douluo Hall's headquarters for the first time. Ye Lan reports on its branch network, combat strength, sect alliances, special institutions, and soul guidance industry, earning Gu Yuan's approval. 40 41

Huo Yuhao's Departure from Shrek

When Shrek Academy attempts to prevent Huo Yuhao from leaving with Gu Yuan, Douluo Hall elders arrive to support him. Canglong Douluo, Dragon Crocodile Douluo, and Sky Fox Douluo demonstrate the organization's high-level strength during the confrontation. 49 50
