Facilities and Resources

• Golden Ancient Tree and Sea God Island — The academy's greatest heritage; the Tree maintains an exceptionally concentrated Origin Energy environment comparable to a mimic cultivation environment 200 393.
• Runic main building — The granite building is engraved with Soul Guiding Runes that synchronously regulate its Soul Power field; Shrek's cultivation environment is therefore not sustained by the Golden Ancient Tree alone 196.
• Assessment Hall — Uses dragon-might murals, simulated environments, specialty evaluations, and practical combat trials to assess applicants 196 201.
• Cultivation amenities — Official students receive access to free food, training grounds, and mimicry cultivation areas 204.
• Devil Island — A dangerous traditional trial ground formed from residual divine life and destruction energies; the consciousnesses of a former generation of Shrek Seven Monsters became the Seven Old Demons there 386.
• Soul tool development — Though Shrek once treated soul tools as secondary to personal cultivation, it later actively equipped tournament teams with advanced defensive, flight, recovery, and offensive soul tools 359 411 419.

Admissions and Training

Shrek's entrance examination emphasizes both individual potential and cooperation. Candidates first endure the pressure of a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King mural, then face a simulated thousand-year Ice Wolf pack under a ten-minute time limit 196.

The academy explicitly recognizes assistance between examinees as teamwork rather than cheating. Tang Wulin's support allowed Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan to remain standing during the dragon-might test 196.

Later assessment stages include specialty displays, professional evaluations such as forging and soul tool design, virtual-illusion trials, and comprehensive combat against current Shrek students 198 201 204.

History

Reputation and Early Depiction

Shrek is described as an advanced academy even during a period when it is considered down-and-out, retaining two Soul Saints as its defenders 83. Its later reputation rests on its status as the continent's premier soul master institution, its long-standing tournament record, and the Golden Ancient Tree's accumulated foundation 273 393.

Its prestige also creates pressure within the academy. Mu En later questions whether Shrek has become too bound by its “ten-thousand-year glory,” particularly when tournaments risk the lives of young students for the academy's public standing 370.

Gula's Enrollment and the Golden Tree

Gula enters Shrek primarily to access the Golden Ancient Tree rather than from allegiance to the academy, stating that his own style does not match Shrek's 193. During the entrance examination, he perfectly adapts to the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's pressure and receives full marks 196.

After Gula earns the Golden Tree soul spirit's recognition, Yun Ming grants him early Inner Court access and permission to cultivate at the Tree 200. Gula later refuses Yun Ming's offer to formally join Shrek, while allowing his clone Bai Yuan to enter the Inner Court as a Core Disciple instead 238 240.

Defeat and the Sun Moon Rematch

Shrek's First Year team loses to Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy, publicly breaking its long-standing undefeated image and triggering continent-wide backlash. Protesters gather outside the academy, burn its flag, and call for Tang Wulin and Wu Zhangkong to be expelled 273.

Sea God Pavilion responds by organizing a public rematch. Gula accepts the mission to defend Shrek's glory, while Bai Yuan and Mu Yi overwhelmingly defeat Sun Moon Academy's teams in one-against-six matches 274 276 278.

Sun Moon Academy ultimately forfeits rather than risk further humiliation and casualties. The victory restores Shrek's public standing and reinforces the perception that its earlier defeat was an exception rather than a loss of institutional strength 280 281.

Star Luo Exchange

Shrek sends a delegation led by Zhuo Shi and Cai Yue'er to the Star Luo Empire for exchange activities. The academy formally states that it is participating only to exchange knowledge and promote friendship, not to involve itself in other political affairs 303.

Its students dominate the Entire Continent Youth High-level Soul Master Elite Competition: five of the eight quarter-finalists are Shrek students, including Gula, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Bai Yuan, and Wu Siduo 327. Bai Yuan later defeats Long Yue in the final and evolves his Martial Soul into Abyssal Gluttony with Gula's assistance 334.

Earlier *Peerless Tang Sect* Era

After traveling ten thousand years into the past, Gula enrolls in an earlier incarnation of Shrek Academy 353 354. In this era, Shrek initially lags behind the Sun Moon Empire in soul tool infrastructure and relies heavily on the Golden Ancient Tree for its high-concentration energy environment 353.

The academy later establishes Gula, Wang Dong, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Xiao Xiao as the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, with Huo Yuhao included despite his absence 381. Gula is subsequently appointed captain of Shrek's main school tournament team and equips its members with his own soul tool research products 411.

Final Tournament Victory

Under Gula's leadership, Shrek's team demonstrates that the academy has embraced soul tools as part of elite combat rather than merely supplementary equipment 419. It defeats Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy with overwhelming force, then advances through the tournament to claim the championship 422 432.

Relationships

• Spirit Pagoda — A rival major organization. Yun Ming attempts to use Gula's recruitment to ease conflict between Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda, but Leng Yaozhu rejects the proposal 239.
• Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy — Shrek's foremost academic rival; their public victories and defeats become battles over continental prestige 273 280 422.
• Star Luo Empire — Hosts Shrek's exchange delegation and youth competition; Star Luo officials regard Shrek's students with both respect and caution 303 327.
• Monster Academy — The Star Luo Empire's elite institution, built to challenge Shrek directly in the youth competition 313.
• Tang Sect — Closely connected to Shrek despite nominal independence; both sides acknowledge their shared roots during tournament encounters 417 423.
• Body Sect — Receives Shrek's proposal for joint cultivation of Huo Yuhao and possible research sharing against the Sun Moon Empire 382.
• Federation — Maintains a tense relationship with Shrek, whose influence and independent strength limit federal authority 176 394.

Destruction

Shrek City is attacked by two God-Slaying Soul Guided Cannon Shells, followed by a coordinated barrage aimed at the academy's teaching buildings, training grounds, Soul Tool Research Center, and Inner Court residences 440.

Long Yueyue sacrifices herself to intercept one shell. Yun Ming shatters his godhood to save Ya Li, merges with the Heavenly Azure Spear, and destroys the second shell at the cost of his life 440.

The assault devastates Shrek City and engulfs the academy's core in destruction. The Golden Ancient Tree's light shakes under the bombardment, while Ghost Emperor attempts to harvest the dead before Gula intervenes with the Sun Pyramid 440.
