Background / History

Foundation and reputation

Shrek Academy was founded by its first dean, Cat Eagle Douluo Frank. Its original wooden school plaque, preserved in the Shrek Museum, is regarded as the source of all Shrek people. 163

The academy has endured for roughly twenty thousand years and is regarded by soul masters across the Federation—and even on the overseas continents—as a holy land. Its alumni network is exceptionally extensive: nearly every soul master academy on the continent is said to employ former Shrek cadets. 71 250

Its prestige also makes it politically sensitive. Federation authorities restrict most media from reporting on Shrek Academy or Shrek City, fearing its ability to rally public support. 261

Holy Spirit Cult attack and reconstruction

Shrek City and the academy were targeted in a coordinated Holy Spirit Cult attack. Yun Ming and the Sea God Pavilion Elders defended the academy while Ya Li activated its protective arrays; the Golden Ancient Tree ultimately sacrificed itself to protect Shrek. 377 378 389

The attack destroyed Sea God Pavilion and sank Sea God Island, leaving the academy devastated. 409 Graduates returned from across the continent to assist, including more than ten Titled Douluo. The Inner Courtyard was rebuilt within a day, while Shrek City recovered within a week and expanded under academy control. 388

Reforms

Following the reconstruction, Yun Ming initiated several commemorative reforms:

Former name	New name	Purpose
Sea God Island	Golden Island	Honors the sacrificed Golden Ancient Tree
Sea God Pavilion	Dou God Pavilion	Encourages cadets to strive toward godhood
Sea God Lake	Blessing Spirit Lake	Honors the academy's fallen heroes
Surrounding forest	Blessing Spirit Forest	Accompanies Blessing Spirit Lake

These reforms were enacted after the attack, alongside plans for a monument honoring fallen Shrek teachers, cadets, Tang Sect members, City Defense Army personnel, and civilians. 389

Yun Ming then retired and appointed Jing Shaoyu as Shrek Academy's president and the first Pavilion Master of the Dou God Pavilion. 389

Campus

Shrek City and the Inner City

Shrek Academy occupies Shrek City's original walled city, which now serves as the academy's inner city. The academy manages the entire city, while only recognized people and cadets may freely enter and leave the inner city. 165

The academy's independence extends to transportation: Federation-issued vehicle and mecha passes are invalid inside its grounds. Drivers must obtain a dedicated pass from the Shrek Academy Mecha Association. 153

Education and Admissions

Entrance examination

Shrek Academy's entrance examination consists of ten assessments worth a total of 100 points. Candidates require at least 60 points to pass, while only the top 150 are admitted to the Outer Courtyard. Candidates scoring above 85 may take an additional assessment for direct Inner Courtyard admission by presenting a completed One-Word Battle Armor. 166

The academy recruits only 200 new students each year, including fifty places reserved for candidates who fail to enter the Inner Courtyard. 166

Educational philosophy

Shrek Academy does not provide foundational courses to admitted cadets; its curriculum assumes students have already completed basic education before enrollment. Every course is directed toward producing Battle Armor Masters. 195

The academy operates under a strength-oriented culture. Class officer positions are determined through combat, and cadets are expected to compete actively rather than avoid challenges. 198 221

Battle armor and mecha training

• Becoming a One-Word Battle Armor Master before age thirty-five is the minimum requirement for Outer Courtyard graduation. 195
• Battle armor cultivation requires the integration of martial souls, battle armor, and supporting second professions. 195
• Shrek cadets are expected to own mechas and receive combat-mecha piloting instruction. 216
• The bottom five performers in the annual mecha-battle final examination are forcibly expelled. 216

Contribution Points

Contribution Points are the academy's internal currency and are stored on each cadet's Student Card. They can be exchanged for cultivation resources, access to facilities, and other academy services. 188 194

Student Life

• Student Cards serve as identity verification, access cards, and Contribution Point accounts; each card's number is unique and is never reclaimed, even if its holder leaves the academy. 188
• Fourth- through Sixth-Year Outer Courtyard cadets are generally required to rent residences within Shrek Inner City rather than live in the ordinary dormitory building. 188
• The academy's vacations differ from those of ordinary academies. 149
• Outer Courtyard teachers must themselves be Shrek Academy graduates. 165
• The academy's dining hall is noted for the quality of its ingredients and food. 196

Shrek Seven Monsters

The Shrek Seven Monsters are the academy's most renowned title. Every generation consists of exceptional soul masters recognized across the continent, and becoming one is a central ambition for many Shrek cadets. 249

After their victory over Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Jing Shaoyu's team was offered a place in the selection for the next generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, contingent on entering the Inner Courtyard. 258

A later generation led by Gu Yue successfully defended its title during a year-long challenge period against teams whose highest combat strength did not exceed Soul Saint. Gu Yue served as acting captain while Jing Shaoyu remained the acknowledged true captain. 343
