Structure & Operations

Branch Network

Spirit Hall maintains branch halls throughout the continent. Even Holy Soul Village has a branch, though it is only a larger wooden house rather than a grand temple. Direct personnel wear white brocade uniforms with a black cloak and a Soul-character emblem on the chest 4.

• Branch Soul Masters conduct six-year-olds' Martial Soul Awakening ceremonies and measure their innate Soul Power. 4 5
• Successful Soul Masters may undergo advancement appraisals at a branch, receive a badge, and obtain a monthly subsidy. 37
• Spirit Hall processes warrants permitting Soul Masters to enter state-guarded Soul Beast forests. 26
• It attempts to recruit exceptional talents; teams reaching the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament finals are offered direct admission to the Spirit Sacred Hall. 141

Spirit City

Spirit City is an independent, hexagonal city on the border between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires. Its granite walls are eighty meters high and thirty meters thick, with six sculptures representing powerful Martial Souls placed atop them. The city is built around a central mountain, whose summit holds the Pope's Palace and Spirit Hall. 188

The Douluo Palace stands at the mountain's peak and enshrines more than one hundred deceased Titled Douluo through golden plaques. It also contains a towering statue of the Six-winged Angel. 472

History

Conflict with Ye Yu

Spirit Hall becomes one of Ye Yu's primary enemies after his connection to the Twilight Black Dragon and his mother is revealed. When Ye Yu threatens the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong and seven Titled Douluo are unable to stop the Source of Evil's overwhelming pressure. 202

Ye Yu subsequently destroys both the Pope's Palace and Spirit Hall in Spirit City. Spirit Hall's leadership does not retaliate because the manifested Twilight Black Dragon terrifies them. 204 Bibi Dong orders the city and its central buildings restored within a month. 206

Spirit Hall later issues a continent-wide bounty for Ye Yu, offering the rank of Elder and a Spirit Bone to anyone who captures him. The notice identifies him as a wielder of four External Soul Bones and a fighter capable of challenging stronger opponents. 227

Soul Hunting Operation

Spirit Hall prepares the Soul Hunting Operation to eliminate or subdue major sects, initially targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Bibi Dong changes the order of attack out of caution over Ye Yu's presence and the Twilight Black Dragon. 258

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect evacuates in advance after acting on Ye Yu's warning, leaving only a small rear guard to deceive the attackers. Spirit Hall razes the abandoned city and sect compound, killing the remaining defenders. 292

During the assault on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Ye Yu's arrival reverses the battle. His Twilight Domain incapacitates or kills thousands of Spirit Hall Soul Masters, while dragon-type Martial Souls are particularly suppressed by his power. 294 295 296

Recruitment and Retaliation

To replenish its losses, Spirit Hall forcibly absorbs the Lower Four Sects and three first-rate sects, promising that they will become the future Seven Great Sects while remaining subject to Spirit Hall's summons. 301

The plan collapses when Ye Yu intercepts six of the recruited sects and annihilates their thirty thousand Soul Masters, including fifteen Soul Douluo. 313 315 He then uses the Twilight Domain to destroy Spirit City and Spirit Hall for a second time. 316

The destruction of the affiliated sects damages Spirit Hall's reputation: first-rate sects later refuse recruitment, fearing Ye Yu and doubting Spirit Hall's ability to protect them. 328

Spirit Hall Empire

During Ye Yu's absence at Sea God Island, Spirit Hall reorganizes into the Spirit Hall Empire. It closes branches and main temples within the Heaven Dou and Star Luo territories, withdraws its Soul Masters, absorbs vassal states, and establishes a central territory separating the two empires. 493

After three years of development, the empire fields twenty thousand Spirit Masters under elder command and continues expanding against its rivals. 359

The empire is eventually defeated after Bibi Dong retreats to pursue godhood. Its army surrenders, Spirit City falls, and the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires divide its territory; the Spirit Hall Empire is stated to have ceased to exist. 381 407
