11Overview22The Mozi Arena is a martial contest venue within Jixia Academy in Honor of Kings: World, confirmed by current community data. The arena is named after the Jixia Sage Mozi and is described as a structure Mozi built during his years at the academy. It functions as a proving ground for martial contests, entrance trials, and formal duels between students or visitors.44Role at Jixia Academy66The Mozi Arena is tied directly to the academy's Martial Way (武道) branch. Mozi as the youth who spent 30 years exploring the Jixia region and studying forgotten machinery, and one of his contributions to the academy was building this arena as a venue for physical contests. The arena's design may incorporate Mohist Machinery elements consistent with Mozi's engineering tradition, though specific mechanical features have not been publicly documented.88Entrance Trials1010The entrance test framework at Jixia Academy includes a Martial Arts Test where candidates must knock a bell off the waist of a stationary martial arts instructor. It is plausible, though not explicitly confirmed, that this test takes place in the Mozi Arena since the arena is Jixia's dedicated martial venue. Players pursuing the Martial Way (武道) specialization encounter this test during character creation and the early main story.1212Related Structures1414The Tower of Enlightenment (通天塔) - central tower where the 云蚕 creature residesThe Stargazing Platform (观星台) - observation platform with sub-sections including Ziwei Hall and Tianshi TerraceThe Mozi Arena - this structure1616Corrected Framing (April 2026): Mechanism School Grounds1818Mozi Arena is more accurately framed as the physical seat of Jixia Academy's Mechanism school (机关学院), often called the 墨家机关道 (Mojia Jiguan Dao, 'Mozi Family Mechanism Way'). It is one of the three schools ringing Tongtian Towerheaded by Mozithe engineer-sage who spent thirty years walking every corner of Jixia to design and install mechanisms used by the region. Many of Jixia's defensive structures and exploration contraptions, including the MOBA-era 墨家机关道 1v1 arena, are attributed to Mozi's work.2020School Activities2222The Mechanism school's grounds combine a lecture compound with workshops and a mechanism-training arena. Curriculum centers on mechanical principles, device construction, engineering mathematics, and hands-on mechanism building. Students are expected to complete functional constructs as part of their coursework, reflecting the school's practice-first philosophy. The arena portion hosts timed puzzle and combat challenges built on Mozi's own designs.23+The Mechanism school's grounds combine a lecture compound with workshops and a mechanism-training arena.

The Chapter 4 'Jixia Secrets' arc also pulls students from all three schools into the investigation, so Mechanism-college NPCs appear as background and quest-givers in later content.2828MOBA Heritage3030Honor of Kings: World extends the legacy of the MOBA's 墨家机关道 1v1 map. Some players will recognize mechanism motifs (pressure-plate bridges, counterweight pulleys, glyph-gated doors) from that MOBA mode adapted into open-world environmental puzzles. The open-world design leans on those motifs for traversal puzzles both on campus and in ruins across the launch map, reinforcing Mozi's presence as the 'builder' of Jixia's physical world.3232Earlier Article Framing3434Earlier drafts framed Mozi Arena as a standalone dungeon or named 殿 (hall) building. Per verified Chinese primary sources, no such standalone 'Mozi Arena hall' is confirmed at S0 launch; the term now covers the school grounds and the associated 墨家机关道 tradition rather than a specific single-room combat arena.
