History and Location

Shrek Academy was formerly located in Heaven Dou City, but relocated roughly seven thousand years later to a site near the Star Dou Great Forest and the junction of the original three empires. Its position gives it major strategic and commercial influence. 44

The academy is based in Shrek City, a continental hub with a permanent population exceeding two million. The city's security and reputation for fair trade are directly attributed to the academy's presence, making it a favored location for cross-border commerce. 44

By the time of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, Shrek had accumulated championships across nearly a thousand years and entered as defending champion. 181 Even with only three main-team members available, its delegation ultimately won that competition. 249

Campus

Major Sites

• Sea God Lake — A large artificial lake within the academy grounds; boats carry visitors and students to Sea God Island. 47
• Sea God Island — A restricted destination associated with Shrek's foremost powerhouses and a place Outer Court students aspire to visit. 47
• Sea God Pavilion — The academy's senior leadership venue, built and furnished in an ancient style and saturated with unusually potent life energy. 113
• Shrek Square — A broad central square bordered by extensive teaching buildings of white, yellow, purple, and black. 66
• Soul Tool Department — Located among gray buildings north of Shrek Square. 66
• Assessment Area — A 20,000-square-meter facility in the north-central Martial Soul Department, adjacent to the Douluo Arena. 79
• Beast Fighting Area — The academy's largest building and exclusive zone, used for real combat training against captive Soul Beasts. It occupies an area comparable to the Martial Soul Department's teaching buildings, dormitories, and Shrek Square combined; its annual costs consume one-third of Shrek City's tax revenue. 139

Landmarks

• Granite statues of the Shrek Seven Devils and the Golden Iron Triangle stand in a campus plaza. 47
• The First-Generation Shrek Seven Devils are also commemorated near Sea God Lake. 557
• The academy's badge bears a distinctive Shrek Monster emblem. 472

Shrek's senior elders include combatants above level 95, while its four great deans are all Titled Douluo. The academy also recognizes theory-focused senior elders alongside peak combatants. 113 248 249

Admissions and Education

Shrek previously required prospective students to hold a recommendation from a city lord's mansion or a top sect, though every applicant still had to pass the entrance examination. 134 624

Beginning the following spring, the academy plans to remove the recommendation requirement. Applicants who reach Rank 15 before age twelve may take the entrance examination directly, and enrolled students will receive an annual grant of 2,000 Gold Soul Coins. 624

Training emphasizes practical combat as well as cultivation:

• Freshman assessments are held in a dedicated area too large for the Douluo Arena to accommodate. 79
• Fourth-year promotion assessments can take place in the Beast Fighting Area. 139
• Practical combat training is scheduled three times weekly for later competition preparations. 463
• The academy values theoretical research and combat strength as equally valid paths for senior elders. 249

Student Body and Uniforms

Shrek operates both an Outer Court and an Inner Court. Outer Court students prepare for assessments to enter the Inner Court, while Inner Court students undertake more advanced training and missions. 340 579

• Outer Court uniforms include white, yellow, and purple variations. 557
• Inner Court uniforms are crimson/red and visibly identify their wearers. 557 579
• Shrek teams wore dark-green uniforms during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. 180
• The academy later fielded a seven-member all-female “Maiden Army” in the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition. 481

Shrek Supervisory Group

The Shrek Supervisory Group recruits students to pursue Evil Soul Masters and other wicked Soul Masters, protect civilians from bandits, rescue enslaved people, and act against corrupt imperial officials. 168

Its operations against imperial officials bypassed normal imperial jurisdiction, creating resentment among the original Three Great Empires despite the acknowledged sacrifices of Inner Court students who died protecting civilians. 168

Following later reforms, Shrek's Inspection Team was instructed to prioritize protecting suffering commoners while remaining conscious of its responsibilities as an academy institution. 591 The academy subsequently ceased intervening in the internal affairs of the original three continental nations except when threats such as Evil Soul Masters emerged. 666

Major Arcs

• Sea God Pavilion and Qin Ze — Qin Ze's Azure Dragon aura merges with the Golden Ancient Tree's energy, producing life energy that heals Mu En's old injuries and extends his lifespan by more than a decade. 113
• Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition — Shrek competes with a heavily youth-based team, shocks opponents with extraordinary soul rings, and wins the championship under Wang Yan's leadership. 181 182 249
• Soul Tool Department exchange — Sea God Pavilion approves an exchange with Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, sending Shrek students there to study advanced Soul Tool knowledge. 178 299 304
• Self-Condensing Soul Ring event — Shrek sends invitations to major sects and powers, gathering delegations from across the original three empires for a self-condensing soul ring event. 411 418
• Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition — Shrek's Maiden Army leads its early campaign; the academy finishes first in its group with a 6–0 record. 481 529
• Conflict with the Holy Spirit Sect — Shrek faces the Evil Soul Master organization in the competition before its senior elders later join Sun Moon Empire Rank 9 Soul Masters in operations against Evil Soul Masters. 542 610

External Relations

• Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy / Sun Moon Empire — A longstanding competitive rival, particularly in Soul Master competitions; Shrek nevertheless begins student exchanges and later dispatches a delegation for cooperation with the Sun Moon Empire. 180 178 599
• Original Three Great Empires — Shrek's overwhelming high-level strength causes political wariness, particularly over its former practice of intervening in imperial affairs. 168 248
• Major sects and royal delegations — Shrek invites powers including Heavenly Dragon Gate, Snow Demon Sect, Profound Nether Sect, Holy Dragon Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Earth Dragon Gate to its major event. 418
• Holy Spirit Cult / Holy Spirit Sect — An adversarial Evil Soul Master organization targeted by Shrek's Supervisory and combat forces. 168 610
• Sea God Family — Its members seek cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult against Shrek Academy due to a target within the academy. 599

Reform

Shrek increasingly moves away from its earlier reputation for overreach. Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei characterizes the academy's direction as becoming neutral and notes that the reformed Shrek is preferable to its formerly arrogant, Spirit Hall-like posture. 620

The academy also expands its social role by distributing Acupoint Breaking Soul Tools across major cities and sects, using Inner Court students and academy resources for the deliveries. 579
