Background / History

Shrek Academy has stood for ten thousand years and is regarded as the continent's foremost Soul Master academy. Its prestige rests on its deep heritage, powerful Sea God's Pavilion, systematic talent cultivation, and the protection of the Golden Ancient Tree. 15 32 74

The academy becomes a central target of continental attention after the Golden Ranking repeatedly reveals its elders, students, Martial Souls, fusion skills, and other assets. These disclosures expose both its strength and vulnerabilities, particularly Mu En's injuries before his eventual recovery. 2 15 48

• Mu En and the tree combined Bright Soul Power and life energy to try to purge the Death Force threatening Xuan Zi's life. 98

Story Role / Major Arcs

Response to the Holy Spirit Cult

Shrek treats the Holy Spirit Cult as a primary hostile force. After Zhang Peng's ranking disclosure, the Sea God's Pavilion designated him a highest-priority target and ordered his execution upon discovery. 6

Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix and its sacred domain reward provide Shrek with a major countermeasure against evil and dark powers. 7

Exposure of Shrek's Strength and Weakness

The academy is repeatedly unsettled by the Golden Ranking's demonstration that powerful figures beyond its known hierarchy exist. Xian Lin'er's sixteenth-place ranking and Elder Song's eleventh-place ranking force its leadership to reassess the continent's hidden strength. 6 11

Mu En's severe injuries are publicly exposed as a critical vulnerability, placing Shrek under greater pressure from factions such as the Sun Moon Empire and Holy Spirit Cult. 15 The Light of the Golden Ranking later fully heals him and restores his Bright Holy Dragon Martial Soul, greatly improving academy morale and deterrence. 48

Protection of Exposed Students

When Huo Yuhao's extraordinary Spirit Soul and Soul Ring become public, the Sea God's Pavilion chooses to protect him rather than investigate or reject him. Mu En places him under the highest level of Pavilion protection and declares that no one may approach him or inquire into his secrets without permission. 50

The academy later extends the same trust after Huo Yuhao's Divine Soul Imprint and Power of Undead Creation are revealed, provided that he does not follow the evil path. 89 90

Shrek also commits to protecting Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er after their Heavenly Emperor's Hammer fusion skill is exposed and the Holy Spirit Cult resolves to eliminate them. 64

Shrek City Abduction

An Evil Soul Master abducts Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er at the entrance to Shrek City, along with Lu Youyou and Lu Lingtian. The incident prompts a city-wide lockdown and search, while the Sea God's Pavilion vows to rescue the captured students. 78

Recruitment of Ye Guyi

After Ye Guyi's Angel Domain appears on the Domain Ranking, Yan Shaozhe orders Shrek's intelligence network to find her, offer the academy's goodwill, and provide protection before Evil Soul Masters can target her. 126

Immortal Herb Recipients

• Ma Xiaotao — The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower descends upon Shrek Academy for her. The elders decide to provide the best resources for its absorption, which may further evolve her fire-based Martial Soul. 148
• Tang Ya — The Aromatic Silk Beauty descends in Shrek City for the Shrek disciple and Tang Sect Master, offering her a path to evolve her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. 149

Relationships

• Golden Ancient Tree — Guardian of Shrek and the foundation of its ten-thousand-year inheritance; its Guardian Domain protects the academy. 32
• Mu En — Sea God's Pavilion Dean and Shrek's central protector; his recovery restores a major pillar of the academy's strength. 15 48
• Huo Yuhao — Student placed under the academy's highest protection after his abilities and secrets are exposed. 50 89
• Wang Dong'er — Student and Huo Yuhao's fusion-skill partner; Shrek commits to defending her after the exposure of Heavenly Emperor's Hammer. 64
• Holy Spirit Cult — Hostile organization whose members and plans are treated as major threats; it targets Shrek's rising geniuses for elimination. 6 74
• Sun Moon Empire — Rival power concerned by Shrek's influence and talent cultivation; its leadership increases resources for Mingde Hall in response. 74
• Body Sect — Competing faction that recognizes Shrek's cultivation system as part of its enduring foundation. 74
• Star Luo Empire — Allied power that seeks closer cooperation with Shrek as a counterweight to the Sun Moon Empire. 74

Trivia
