Background / History

Shrek Academy's grounds were originally Blue Tyrant Academy. After the Shrek disciples joined, Liu Erlong renamed the institution Shrek Academy. 30

The academy initially sought cooperation with Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Prince Xue Xing rejected the proposal, regarding Shrek as unqualified to cooperate, and Dean Flander withdrew the group. 5 6

After relocating to the former Blue Tyrant Academy, Shrek Academy became a refuge for Tang San and Xiao Wu during their conflict with Lin Yuan and Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Xiao Wu's exposure as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast forced the academy to retreat from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while its staff considered—but rejected—the dangerous option of seeking Tang Hao's help. 7 11

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan later left Heaven Dou Royal Academy for Shrek after their former teammates chose Lin Yuan's instruction over loyalty to Yu Tianheng. 10

Campus

Shrek Academy is situated in a forest rather than on Heaven Dou Royal Academy's mountainside. A broad road leads through dense woodland to its central facilities. 30

• A ten-meter-high white-marble gate bears the nine gilded characters “Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy.” 30
• A training ground more than two hundred meters in diameter stands at the end of the main road. 30
• Three-story buildings encircle the training ground. 30
• The area beyond the teaching buildings is entirely forest. 30

Academy Culture

Shrek Academy presents itself as an institution for training exceptional, “monster” soul masters. Its stated motto is “There are no useless spirits, only useless soul masters.” 177

Lin Yuan repeatedly criticizes the academy's perceived “troublemaking” culture, warning Ning Fengzhi that it could damage students' character and bring consequences to their families and sects. Ning Fengzhi subsequently considers removing Ning Rongrong from the academy. 47 48

The academy's leadership prioritizes its students' survival when facing opponents it cannot defeat. Dean Flander and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang choose retreat and compromise rather than risk the academy's destruction by Lin Yuan. 7 113 177
