...Outside Spirit City, Gouyun Mountain Range, Martial Soul Academy.
Martial Soul Academy was located in the Gouyun Mountain Range, several kilometers outside Spirit City. Its uniquely advantageous location made it the most prestigious Soul Master training ground on the continent.
The academy was backed by the Gouyun Mountain Range, a massive range thousands of meters high. It was not only a natural barrier but also rich in the energy of heaven and earth.
The clouds and mist that lingered over the mountains year-round were condensed from highly concentrated energy of heaven and earth. The academy cleverly harnessed them to create a unique natural defense. Every morning, students meditated there, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and cultivating far more efficiently than they could elsewhere.
The section of Martial Soul Academy built above the mountainside covered an area equivalent to a quarter of Spirit City and could accommodate over ten thousand people.

Numerous hidden fortifications had been built around the mountains, all constructed by the Ministry of Works with top-quality materials. Hundreds of mid-level Soul Masters guarded them, and a Titled Douluo also protected Martial Soul Academy from within. Its security was no less than that of Pope Palace.
