Background

Shrek Academy is the institution around which Shrek City was built. It is publicly regarded as the strongest academy on the continent and carries a ten-thousand-year legacy of prestige, competitive honors, and public support 2 250 272.

Its reputation gives it major influence beyond its campus. Tournament officials treat its representatives with particular deference, while its name alone is considered a deterrent to hostile forces 237 595. Shrek's long-standing credibility is also central to its dealings with outside powers; keeping promises is described as one of the foundations of its continued standing 737 738.

Campus

Sea God Lake and Sea God Pavilion

At the academy's center is Sea God Lake, which contains Sea God Island. The island's Sea God Pavilion is carved from the Golden Sacred Tree and serves as the residence and meeting place of Shrek's elder masters 2.

The pavilion is led by Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo and a Level 99 Limit Douluo, who is identified as Shrek Academy's true pillar and the Master of the Sea God Pavilion 2.

Beast Taming Area

The Beast Taming Area is Shrek Academy's largest structure, larger than the combined area of its teaching buildings and dormitories. It contains soul beasts captured and maintained for research and student combat training, ranging from ten-year to ten-thousand-year cultivation 156.

• It is described as likely the only known place on the continent where human Soul Masters raise soul beasts in captivity. 156
• Its central Beast Fighting Arena is oval-shaped, measuring 187 meters along its long axis and 155 meters along its short axis. 156
• Reserve Team Members later receive access to the area for weekly exclusive training sessions. 893

Academy Property

Sea God's Pavilion operates affiliated businesses outside the campus. A hotel in Maple Leaf City is identified as a Sea God's Pavilion business and is used by Shrek-affiliated travelers 1063 1064.

Admissions and Discipline

Shrek maintains dedicated admissions access through its eastern gate, where prospective students and their guardians gather for enrollment 33 34.

Admission decisions may prioritize character as well as immediate strength. When Mu Yiyi applied with a letter of introduction, Ye Chen tested her resolve under restricted conditions; her refusal to give up despite failing the challenge led to her enrollment 573 576.

The academy's disciplinary rules are strict.

• Hiring outside assassins to murder fellow students is treated as an especially vile offense. 193 194
• If such an act is confirmed, even a powerful family background cannot shield the offender from punishment. 193 194
• If students are killed or injured, execution is presented as a possible consequence. 193 194

Training and Selection

Shrek trains students through rigorous teaching, practical combat, cultivation, and soul-beast exercises 156 823.

Its Reserve Team selection system is designed to identify talent rather than rely solely on status.

• First-year students of exceptional strength and talent may be selected for the Reserve Team regardless of whether they are core disciples. 800
• Selected representatives may be challenged during the two years before the tournament; students who surpass them can claim the corresponding place. 823 824
• Ye Chen becomes the practical-combat instructor for the Reserve Team Members and organizes sparring against the Shrek Seven Monsters Preparatory Team. 885 890
• He secures weekly Beast Taming Area access for his trainees, emphasizing that the academy should provide resources whenever possible. 893

The tournament victory greatly increases the academy's public standing. During the competition, Shrek receives overwhelming support in Star Luo Plaza, with crowds repeatedly chanting its name and treating its appearance as a major event 249 257 348.

Soul Tool Development

Shrek recognizes that it lags behind the Sun Moon Empire in Soul Tool foundations and high-level Soul Tool development. Yin Fan specifically tells Ye Chen that the gap is substantial, while Shrek still lacks an established Level 9 Soul Master in the field 617 800.

After receiving Soul Tool materials and blueprints from the Sun Moon Empire, the leading figures of Shrek's Soul Tool Department oversee their transfer and copying. Xian Lin'er personally assists with the blueprints, with the effort expected to significantly strengthen the department's teaching and foundational knowledge 800.

Exchange Program with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy

Shrek Academy enters an exchange arrangement with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Ye Chen is appointed captain of the Shrek group traveling to the Sun Moon Empire, accompanied by Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, Fan Yu, and other selected students 594.

• The Shrek students receive private dormitories, student handbooks, campus maps, and dedicated instructors at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. 597 599
• They are not formally enrolled as ordinary Sun Moon students and do not advance through its yearly curriculum. 599
• The exchange terms provide scheduled access to Ming De Hall, allowing Shrek students to study high-end Soul Tools. 599 683
• Following Huo Yuhao's capture, Ye Chen invokes Shrek's power to compel Jing Hongchen to guarantee the safety of the eleven Shrek members during their stay. 671 672
