Vacation Time, Meng Hongchen's Gift

"Vacation was finally coming, but vacations on the Douluo Continent were rather different."

Xiao Changge recalled the vacations in his previous world. Students there could rest during vacation, but they still had to finish their homework on time. Their teachers would check it when they returned, and anyone who failed to complete it would be punished.

The academies of the four great empires of Douluo also had vacations, but their vacations seemed different from those in Xiao Changge's previous world.

The book clearly stated that Shrek Academy had roughly a month-long rest period after each academic year ended, but it was not purely for leisure.

Vacation was usually a time for students to consolidate their progress, train bitterly, and hunt Soul Rings. When they returned, there would also be advancement exams and elimination mechanisms.

For example, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong went home for vacation after their first year ended. The original Shrek text had emphasized this point as well.

That month was "not for students to relax and sightsee." Anyone who failed the return-to-school assessment would be eliminated.

When considering the academies of the four great empires during the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan—Heavenly Soul, Star Luo Empire, Dou Ling, and Sun Moon Empire—it could be understood like this:

Shrek Academy had an academic-year vacation of roughly one month, with Outer Court students advancing by grade. Inner Court disciples operated more under a mission system and might not have fixed winter and summer breaks, though they would have time away from the academy to carry out missions and train.

The national, sect, and noble academies of the three empires—Heavenly Soul, Star Luo Empire, and Dou Ling—were not described in detail in the novel. However, based on the Douluo system, Soul Master Academies generally had periodic vacations or graduation
