Background

Sun Moon Royal Academy is regarded as the sacred land sought by Soul Engineers, comparable to Shrek Academy's status among Soul Masters. Nearly every ninth-rank Soul Engineer is said to have graduated from the academy, while the Douluo Continent itself had never produced a ninth-rank Soul Engineer at that point. 68

Unlike other imperial royal academies, it does not prioritize a prospective student's Innate Soul Power. Students with Soul Tool talent can enroll regardless of Soul Master aptitude, allowing many commoners without powerful backgrounds to attend. Its policies are also described as more favorable to commoner students than those of Bright Capital Royal Academy. 74 225

The academy represents the prestige of the Sun Moon royal family and is protected by personnel from Mingde Hall. Its ninth-rank Soul Engineers are retainers of the Sun Moon Imperial Family and possess Title Douluo-level combat strength through their Soul Tools. 165 376

Campus and Education

Soul Tool Research

The academy possesses the Sun Moon Empire's most advanced Soul Tool technology. Important laboratories and Mingde Hall require appropriate access cards, and the core technology of ninth-rank Soul Tools cannot be shared because its disclosure is treated as treason under imperial policy. 194 370 373

Mingde Hall is described as the academy's equivalent of Shrek Academy's inner court. Some academy participants may have assisted in developing its eighth-rank Soul Tools. 273

Traditional Soul Master Training

Although centered on Soul Engineering, the academy also trains exceptional traditional Soul Masters. Its tournament success demonstrates that it can cultivate such students into high-level combatants, though Jing Hongchen acknowledges that elite Soul Engineers still have shortcomings against elite traditional Soul Masters. 355 367

Following negotiations with the Body Sect, the academy establishes a new course taught by Body Sect elders. The arrangement supplements its traditional Soul Master instruction: a resident elder remains at the academy, other elders rotate weekly, and Du Busi personally instructs Rui Xue'er during the first seven days of each month. 384

Student Amenities

• Luckin Coffee Shop — Operates on campus and is considered a hidden gem due to its remote location and overlap with class hours; it can sell more than a thousand cups per day. 373 394
• Mixue Ice Cream & Tea — A major student attraction. Its 4 Copper Soul Coin lemonade and 2 Copper Soul Coin ice cream cones sell rapidly during lunch breaks. 127
• Cafeteria — Its business improved markedly after Ye Tian arrived; it later hosts Shrek Academy's visiting delegation. 370

All-Continent Tournament Championship

Sun Moon Royal Academy entered the tournament with a main roster whose members all possessed Soul King-level strength or above. Its captain, Ma Rulong, was a Soul Emperor and a sixth-rank Soul Engineer. 188

The team faced hostility in Star Luo City, where the defending runner-up was placed on the sixth floor of the Star Emperor Hotel while weaker academies received superior rooms. The team treated the slight as motivation to win the championship. 172

In the final against Shrek Academy, the academy fielded Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Rui Xue'er, Little Ice, Mika, and Chen Fei. 332 After victory, it received one million Gold Soul Coins and three soul bones: a fifty-thousand-year Thunderous Frenzied Ape right arm bone, a fifty-thousand-year Void Beast King right leg bone, and a thirty-thousand-year Nightmare Netherflower skull bone. 355

The championship significantly elevated the academy's standing. It demonstrated both advanced Soul Tool technology and the ability to foster extraordinary traditional Soul Master talent, leading other powers to view the academy and Sun Moon Empire as a growing threat. 355 370

Exchange Student Program

Sun Moon Royal Academy and Shrek Academy establish an exchange student program after Shrek seeks access to the academy's advanced Soul Tool education. Shrek agrees to provide rare metals from the three great empires in exchange for cooperation. 373

The academy refuses to share ninth-rank Soul Tool core technology, but agrees to receive exchange students after preparing dormitories and completing procedures. 370 373

Huo Yuhao becomes one of Shrek Academy's exchange students. During his nearly year-long stay, he reaches Soul Power Level 34 and approaches fourth-rank Soul Engineer status, impressing Jing Hongchen. 403 415
