History

Shrek Academy accepted Qian Chaoyun after Ma Xiaotao brought him from the Star Dou Great Forest. Elder Xuan initially made him his disciple under pressure, but Mu En took over his practical guidance after determining that Elder Xuan's recruitment had been coercive. The academy identified Qian's Sacred Angel Spirit as a potential decisive weapon against Evil Spirit Masters. 6 7 8

Qian trained extensively in the City of Slaughter, where his Angel Martial Soul's Holy attribute gave him a major advantage against Evil Spirit Masters and Fallen Ones. His repeated victories made him one of the academy's most exceptional students, rising from Level 44 to Level 57 in one and a half years. 11 12 15

For the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Competition, Shrek entered two teams: its official first team and a second team registered under Blue Tyrant Academy's qualification. Qian Chaoyun captained the second team, while Ma Xiaotao led the first. Both teams progressed through the tournament, eventually drawing each other in the semifinals. 90 100 134 135

After the tournament, Mu En offered Qian Chaoyun the position of Sea God Pavilion Master. Qian refused, choosing instead to rebuild the Martial Soul Hall and restore Angelic glory. Mu En ultimately supported the reconstruction effort after Qian proposed free Martial Soul awakenings, Soul Master subsidies, and Soul Spirit research; in return, Qian agreed to protect Shrek three times after Mu En's death if the academy faced a great disaster. 150 151

Mu En later defended the Martial Soul Hall construction site from Evil Spirit Master attacks. Before his death, he instructed Shrek's Resident Elders to regard Qian as crucial to the academy's future and to make concessions when necessary. 152 183

Following the Martial Soul Hall's restoration, Shrek became a major financial supporter of its Soul Spirit program. Qian repeatedly returned to request funds, leveraging Shrek's need for early Soul Spirit access and its continued reliance on his protection. 209 210 211 243

Policies and Training

• Inner Court disciples undergo practical combat training in the City of Slaughter against captured criminals and Fallen Ones. 11
• The academy treats Evil Spirit Master suppression as a major priority and views Light-attribute combat Soul Masters as especially valuable. 8 15
• Following an Evil Spirit Master incident, Shrek required every Martial Soul Department student to possess a Soul Tool for safety. 100
• Shrek's competition teams carry the burden of the academy's ten-thousand-year reputation; students describe its expected victories as leaving little room for failure. 100 101
• Shrek and Mingde Hall established a student-exchange arrangement: Shrek sends Spirit Engineering students to Mingde Hall, while Mingde Hall sends students and high-level Soul Masters to Shrek. 152

Major Conflicts and Operations

Evil Spirit Master Suppression

Shrek's Inspection Group captures criminals and conducts missions against Evil Spirit Masters across the continent. Its operations include the City of Slaughter's prisoner program, missions in the Heaven Dou Empire, and actions against bandits in the Ming Dou Mountain Range. 11 38 82 95

The academy suffered repeated security failures during Elder Xuan's expeditions, including the death of a student in the Star Dou Great Forest and Cheng Gang's attempted abduction of Qian Chaoyun during the Continental Competition. 5 7 122 124

Continental Soul Master Competition

• Shrek fielded a first team led by Ma Xiaotao and a second team led by Qian Chaoyun. 90
• The second team competed under the name Blue Tyrant Academy, though it was widely recognized as Shrek's second team. 90 100
• Both Shrek teams completed the round-robin stage undefeated and advanced with the highest points in their respective groups. 125
• The two teams became semifinal opponents after the final-four draw. 134
• Qian's reputation as a seven-ring Soul Sage caused other academies, particularly the Sun Moon Empire Spirit Engineer Academy, to consider Shrek overwhelmingly favored. 101 105

Holy Spirit Cult Attack

The Holy Spirit Cult intercepted Shrek's returning tournament team in an attempt to abduct Qian Chaoyun. Long Xiaoyao confronted the group, while Shrek's teachers and students attempted to protect Qian. 144 145

The crisis ended without Qian's capture. The team returned to Shrek, where the academy prepared rewards for the participating students. 147

Relationship with Martial Soul Hall

• Qian Chaoyun — Former student and Elder Xuan's disciple. Shrek cultivated him as an anti–Evil Spirit Master trump card, but he ultimately chose to rebuild the Martial Soul Hall rather than become Sea God Pavilion Master. 8 150
• Martial Soul Hall reconstruction — Mu En accepted Qian's proposal after learning that it would provide free awakenings and Soul Spirits; Shrek also helped defend the rebuilding effort. 151 152
• Soul Spirit funding — Elder Xuan approved a loan of 400 million Gold Soul Coins for Soul Spirit production in exchange for Shrek receiving Soul Spirits first. 211
• Further financing — Shrek later agreed to provide 10 billion Gold Soul Coins for Soul Spirit development after Qian warned that free Soul Spirits might otherwise be suspended. 243
• Di Qiuer — Elder Xuan permitted Di Qiuer to leave with Qian if she chose to do so, despite her role as Shrek's team captain. 242 243
