Background / History
Shrek began as a Soul Master academy in a small village under Dean Flender. According to Dai Tianling, Flender nurtured Tang San, who later founded the Tang Sect and established the foundation of Shrek’s enduring legacy. Dai Mubai, an ancestor of Star Luo’s imperial family, belonged to the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils and ultimately attained godhood 522.
Dai Tianling describes Shrek as a twenty-thousand-year-old institution whose successive generations of graduates repeatedly changed the continent’s balance of power. Elsewhere, its authority and traditions are frequently described as a ten-thousand-year legacy. Its reputation as a sacred land for Soul Masters attracts exceptional students and sustains loyalties extending into government, military leadership, and other major organizations 232 337 522.
During the war against the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years earlier, Shrek prevailed at a devastating cost. Its elders acknowledge that figures such as Spirit Ice Douluo and Dragon Butterfly Douluo were essential to that victory 370.

Campus and Education
Facilities and Resources
- Sea God Island — Houses the Inner Court and Sea God Pavilion 372.
- Golden Ancient Tree — A planar supreme treasure rooted on Sea God Island and regarded as Shrek’s greatest foundation. After Shrek’s defeat, it follows Situ Xuan and expresses hatred toward the academy 815 827.
- Simulated cultivation areas — Include a primitive forest, an artificial lake, and stone mountains. Situ Xuan considers them crude compared with Sun Moon Academy’s specialized environmental simulations 231.
- No. 7 Training Hall — A somewhat dilapidated hall in the campus’s southwest corner, used for Sun Moon Academy’s three-tier challenge arenas 235.
- Work-study dormitories — Small, aging houses with mottled walls, creaking doors, and a smell of mold; markedly poorer than the luxurious student dormitories 233.
- Uniform — White with green patterns symbolizing life and growth 235.
Teaching and Student Life
- Contribution points: Students must earn points to support their cultivation and basic living needs. Situ Xuan argues that this burden would divert Tang Wulin from forging and Soul Master development 203.
- Resource competition: Situ Xuan recognizes Shrek’s abundant resources but believes access to its core resources demands substantial effort, cost, and compliance with restrictive rules 78.
- Instruction: In Situ Xuan’s assessment, teaching relies heavily on master–apprentice instruction, theoretical explanation, and limited guidance, with insufficient systematic sparring and tactical drills 231.
- Team formation: Students readily organize around Power Attack, Control, and Agility Attack roles during practical combat exercises 217.
- Institutional loyalty: Students strongly identify with Shrek’s collective honor. This loyalty brings freshmen together to defend Tang Wulin during a confrontation with the Crows 268.
Abilities & Skills
Elite Soul Master Training
- Shrek’s juvenile team defeats the Tianhai Alliance’s previous youth-group champions in one minute through rapid attacks and fluid coordination 77.
- Its Outer Court mobilization includes thirty-seven Soul Kings and more than four hundred Soul Ancestors 370.
- In Star Luo’s tournament, a four-person Shrek team overwhelms a seven-member academy team in less than five minutes 561.
- Reputation does not guarantee victory: Lin Yifeng, Yu Zhijie, and Li Qingfeng all suffer decisive defeats against Situ Xuan 83 187 238.
Large-Scale Coordination
- Shrek deploys twelve student teams to dismantle Sun Moon Academy’s ambush network, destroying twenty-one of thirty-seven ambush points and putting more than two hundred Crow students out of action 370.
- Rock’s 237-person force combines an outer defensive line, central Control and Support personnel, and commanders at its core 380.
- That force changes from a marching column into a defensive counterattack formation within a dozen seconds 382.
- Dispersed teams remain vulnerable to repeated attacks, especially while protecting first-years and advancing rapidly 371 372.
Senior Combat Power
- Shrek’s defenders include Yun Ming, Long Yeyue, Ya Li, Cai Yue’er, and numerous Super Douluo and Sea God Pavilion elders 366.
- During the siege, elders intercept massed artillery with barriers, martial soul attacks, and high-speed blade techniques 792 793.
- Its experts cannot prevent the combined Federation artillery, War God, and mecha assault from breaking the inner city’s defenses 793.
- Yun Ming sacrifices blood essence, lifespan, and cultivation foundation to strengthen his Qingtian Domain, but is ultimately defeated by Situ Xuan 797 798.
Relationships
- Situ Xuan — Rejects recruitment, challenges Shrek as a Sun Moon exchange student, and later directs the Federation campaign that destroys its headquarters 78 235 792 806.
- Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy — Long-standing educational rival, reportedly suppressed by Shrek through nearly a thousand years of competition. The exchange program develops into increasingly severe student and teacher confrontations 232 367 370.
- Sun Moon Federation — Shrek’s legal sovereign, but increasingly opposed to its autonomous influence. Many officials and military leaders are Shrek graduates, initially complicating action against it 337 338 406.
- Tang Sect — Linked to Shrek through Tang San and later political and military cooperation. After the siege, Shrek survivors shelter in its underground headquarters 522 792 837.
- Spirit Pagoda — Shares historical ties through founder Huo Yuhao, a Shrek alumnus, but competes with the academy. Leng Yaozhu defends that connection, while Qiangu Dongfeng rejects Shrek’s perceived treatment of the Pagoda as a subordinate 240 344.
- War God Temple — Established to check Shrek’s Sea God Pavilion, yet constrained by members’ loyalties to Shrek. Its War Gods eventually fight the academy during the Federation assault 737 793.
- Star Luo Empire — Seeks closer ties with Shrek as Federation pressure increases, emphasizing the imperial Dai family’s ancestral connection to the academy 522 523.
- Holy Spirit Cult — Ancient enemy that first plots Shrek’s destruction, then helps evacuate its survivors and becomes a reluctant survival ally 791 806 836 838.
- Tang Wulin — Remains committed to studying at Shrek and entering its Inner Court despite Situ Xuan’s offer of better material support elsewhere 203 204.
- Yuanen Yehui — Leaves with Situ Xuan’s followers after the failed exchange, reflecting critically on Shrek’s higher-ups and their treatment of outsiders 342.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Tianhai Alliance Tournament
Shrek initially serves as the benchmark for elite student strength. Its exhibition victory shocks Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, while Wu Zhangkong stresses that the participating juveniles are only outstanding Outer Court students, not confirmed Inner Court entrants. Situ Xuan refuses the implied promise of a brighter future at Shrek and defeats its representative Lin Yifeng in less than a minute 77 78 83.
Failed Exchange Program
Official discrimination against Sun Moon Academy angers Peng Yunze and unsettles students who admire Shrek. Wu Zhangkong acknowledges the academy’s errors and offers to raise the matter through his Inner Court teachers. The subsequent live-combat assessment exposes a sharp contrast between Shrek’s conventional dueling and the Crows’ injury-trading tactics 178 179 182 183.
| Event | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Yu Zhijie’s assessment match | Situ Xuan destroys his One-Word Battle Armor and publicly asks whether anyone else from Shrek can fight 186 187. |
| No. 7 Training Hall challenge | Sun Moon students erect a plaque declaring Shrek’s Outer Court students unimpressive. They promise to destroy it if more than half their students are defeated 235. |
| Li Qingfeng’s defeat | The level fifty-six Soul King loses to Situ Xuan in three minutes and fifteen seconds 238. |
| Faculty response | Teachers report students questioning Shrek’s superiority. Closing the arenas is rejected as a public admission of defeat 240. |
| Federal-law controversy | Cai Yue’er declares that Shrek does not need federal law. Yue Feng condemns the statement as secession and treason under the constitution 337 338. |
| Departure | Situ Xuan and his followers leave Shrek City with Mu Ye’s protection, ending the failed exchange 342. |
Final-Exam Conflict
Shrek’s decision to hold its final exam in Mingdu prompts Situ Xuan to make intercepting its delegation Sun Moon Academy’s own examination. Shrek initially supplies fifty-three Soul King- and Soul Emperor-level guards. Cai Yue’er authorizes escorts to intervene against Crow attacks, escalating the conflict beyond student combat 362 366 367.
Long Yeyue withdraws the escorts rather than introduce still stronger teachers and mobilizes all six Outer Court years. Shrek initially overruns the ambush network, but Sun Moon’s repeated attacks and supportive municipal authorities inflict heavy losses and imprison captured students 370 372.
The confrontation culminates on Sunset Plain, where Situ Xuan blocks 237 Shrek students approaching Mingdu. He breaks their defensive formation and wins the ensuing battle; the reported losses include four Inner Court Soul Emperors killed. Shrek mobilizes in response, while formerly sympathetic political and military factions begin shifting toward federal authority 380 382 393 395.
Star Luo Mission
Shrek’s contact with Star Luo raises Federation concerns about student transfers, faculty exchanges, and possible relocation of core personnel. Situ Xuan is tasked with investigating and disrupting any deeper agreement 406 407 408.
During the journey to the tournament, a mecha brigade attacks the delegation’s train. Wu Zhangkong and Shrek students defend the carriages, while Situ Xuan intervenes with a Darkness Domain that disrupts the attackers. In Star Luo, Yue Zhengyu accepts an imperial challenge on Shrek’s behalf, and Ye Xinglan later leads a decisive team-match victory 487 546 547 561.
Siege and Destruction
After Situ Xuan seizes the federal government, Yun Ming instructs Lan Muzi to preserve Shrek’s neutrality. The Federation subsequently encircles Shrek City, cuts its rail connections, and launches a combined artillery and mecha offensive 754 790 792 793.
Yun Ming’s defeat and Long Yeyue’s severe injuries end the academy’s resistance. Shrek’s buildings and protective formation are destroyed, but Leng Yulai’s spatial portal allows many core students, elders, and senior fighters to escape under Holy Spirit Cult protection 798 806.
Remnants and Survival Alliance
Long Yeyue reluctantly accepts cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult despite their longstanding blood feud. Shrek’s survivors reach the Tang Sect’s headquarters five hundred meters beneath Tiantou City, where the factions discuss a temporary alliance and Eternal Heaven as a possible means of reversing their defeat 836 837 838.
Later attempts to exploit Federation campaigns and attack its rear fail with further casualties. Federation reports exposing Shrek’s crimes also challenge the remnants’ belief in the academy’s righteousness, although the supplied passages do not specify those crimes 845 881.
