Background / History

Shrek was regarded as the continent's foremost academy for roughly twenty thousand years. Its Inner Court was presented as the continent's number one, while its exceptional status let it remain outside the normal All-Federation Grand Competition for much of its history 26 28 38.

The academy and Tang Sect helped transform the Sun Moon Empire into the Federation, supported allied councilors, and secured Shrek City's independent autonomy. Although publicly neutral, both were described as part of the Dove Faction 28. Shrek maintained its own systems in taxation, administration, military affairs, diplomacy, and major sub-professional associations 108.

The Primal Body Sect later publicized accusations that Shrek had retained the sect's Primal Body Secret for ten thousand years, despite the sect's historic sacrifices and assistance to Shrek. The disclosure severely damaged Shrek's public standing and prompted an offer of compensation 66 71.

Organization

Sea God Pavilion

Sea God Pavilion governs Shrek's major decisions. During the Ming Capital crisis, its members debated whether to retaliate against the Federation, recruit Feng Zaixing and Yu Xin, and alter the Outer Court examination system 63 64.

• Yun Ming — Sea God Pavilion Master; Shrek's principal leader during its conflicts with Ming Capital and the Federation 64 154.
• Long Yeyue — senior Shrek powerhouse and staunch defender of the academy's honor 64 143.
• Ya Li — Sea God Pavilion member who handled public negotiations and argued for recruiting exceptional talent 64 71.
• Cai Yue'er — Outer Academy Dean; advocated harsh training, all-out retaliation, and a rebuilt Inspection Group 63 145 146.
• Zhuo Shi — elder involved in academy affairs and later in transferring the Seven Monsters' positions 64 192.
• Feng Wuyu — president of Shrek City's Forgemaster Association and a Sea God Pavilion elder 108.

Inner and Outer Courts

Shrek separates its students between an Outer Court and an Inner Court. Shen Yi offered Feng Zaixing direct access to the Inner Court assessment rather than ordinary Outer Court enrollment, emphasizing the Inner Court's prestige 25 26.

The Inner Court traditionally concentrated the academy's strongest young talents, but its under-twenty generation suffered catastrophic losses in its conflict with the Nine Stars Association 114 115. The academy later expanded Inner Court enrollment and accepted exchange students from the other continents 137.

Shrek Inspection Group

Shrek reestablished its Inspection Group following its reputational collapse. Membership was extended to both Inner and Outer Court students, who were tasked with searching the continent for Evil Soul Masters 143 146.

Cai Yue'er framed the group as a means to harden students through danger and restore Shrek's glory, while Wu Changkong objected to placing such pressure on new Outer Court entrants 145 146.

Reputation and Practices

Shrek's school motto is:

“Those Who Dare Not Cause Trouble Are Mediocrities.” 22

Its students and faculty repeatedly invoked the academy's honor, glory, and historic supremacy. During the Skysea exhibition, Inner Court students proclaimed, “Shrek, number one for twenty thousand years!” after severely injuring the local team 86.

Shrek's admission and training practices drew criticism from several sides:

• Xu Miao claimed that prominent-family heirs entering Shrek primarily sought credentials and connections, while resources required service in return 9.
• Feng Zaixing cited reports of Shrek students attacking military camps and civilians as part of examinations, citing this as his reason for rejecting the academy 9.
• Shrek's students were said to have their belongings confiscated and be forced to travel from Shrek City to Ming Capital for final examinations, sometimes attacking passersby for money 47.
• Cai Yue'er replaced the customary freshman process with a melee against second-year students and later simulated projections of the Nine Stars Association 145 146.

Appearance

Shrek students wear a distinctive academy uniform described as a green color scheme dating back to the academy's first headmaster twenty thousand years earlier 83.

• The uniform is an old academy tradition attributed to Shrek's first headmaster 83.
• Shrek's iconic uniform remained in use by students years after the Inner Court's defeat 192.

Major Conflicts

Ming Capital Incident

Feng Zaixing rejected Shen Yi's offer to enter Shrek's Inner Court, choosing Ming Capital and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy instead 25 26. Yu Minglong and four other Third Grade Shrek students later entered Ming Capital to complete their final examination, confronting Wang Wen and Long Chen while declaring that Shrek needed answer to no one 54.

The confrontation escalated into a public scandal after Shrek's group was defeated and detained. Videos and articles portraying the incident as “Shrek terrorism” spread across the Soul Net, prompting condemnations from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Spirit Pagoda, War God Hall, military, and major families 56 57.

Public Pressure and Compensation Dispute

The Primal Body Sect's release of historical information about the Primal Body Secret intensified Shrek's reputation crisis shortly before its recruitment period. Shrek offered compensation, but the sect rejected a simple settlement and demanded substantial restitution 66 71.

Economic sanctions later affected Shrek City, forcing Sea God Pavilion to acknowledge its dependence on Federation resources and seek outside support through an expanded Grand Competition 108.

Skysea and Tianhai Challenges

Shrek's Inner Court expedition swept through first-tier cities to reassert its dominance. At Skysea, its team defeated the local Youth Division champions in seconds, leaving all seven opponents seriously injured 81 86.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy challenged Shrek immediately afterward. Feng Zaixing's team defeated Shrek's team within ten seconds 87. In the subsequent confrontation, Feng Zaixing defeated Shrek Inner Court Big Senior Brother Lan Muzi and allowed Wu Changkong to take him for treatment 92.

All-Federation Grand Competition

Feng Zaixing used the All-Federation Grand Competition in Shrek Inner City to target Shrek's Inner Court elites under twenty 107. He planted the King's Way Sacred Sword at Shrek's gates and declared that Shrek would lose its claim to be the Number One Academy Under Heaven if no prodigy under twenty could retrieve it 110 111.

Shrek's Inner Court mobilized to defend its honor. The resulting unrestricted battle was broadcast live; Feng Zaixing and the Nine Stars Association overwhelmed the Inner Court, killing or crippling many of its strongest students, including Ma Tianzhao 112 114 115.

After the battle, Feng Zaixing publicly declared:

“From this day forward, Shrek is no longer the Continent's Number One!” 115

Apology to Ming Capital and Relocation

When Shrek surrounded the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy while seeking answers over Cai Yue'er's condition, Feng Zaixing and the Federal Military turned the confrontation against it. Yun Ming ultimately acknowledged Shrek's wrongdoing, and Shrek's elders bowed to Ming Capital 153 154.

Shrek later launched an overseas expedition against the Holy Spirit Cult, which helped restore some public support among its graduates and followers 167. Nevertheless, its relocation to the Star Luo Empire was finalized, with Monster Academy designated as a branch campus 182 205.

Relationships

• Tang Sect — Shrek's closest historical ally; Tang Sect mobilized to support Shrek during the sword challenge 28 111.
• Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy — historic rival that had sought to surpass Shrek for ten thousand years; the rivalry became open conflict under Feng Zaixing 28 57 115.
• Primal Body Sect — former historical ally turned claimant against Shrek over the Primal Body Secret 66 71.
• Spirit Pagoda — former political ally that later joined pressure campaigns against Shrek and disputed control of Cai Yue'er 28 57 143 144.
• Federation Government and Military — Shrek faced sanctions, political opposition, and eventual removal of its institutional influence from the Federation 108 154 311.
• Monster Academy — became Shrek's branch academy in the Star Luo Empire and supplied candidates for the next Shrek Seven Monsters 182 205.

Trivia

• Shrek's historic refusal to enter the All-Federation Grand Competition denied the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy an official venue to challenge it for many years 28.
• Shrek's Inner Court team possessed the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Combination Skill, a technique associated with the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters 90.
• After its Inner Court generation was devastated, Shrek lacked enough suitable students to preserve the traditional title of the Shrek Seven Monsters, leading it to seek candidates from Monster Academy 182.
