Shrek

Biodata

Background / History

Yun Ming, Shrek Academy's principal and the Sea God Pavilion Master, personally offered to accept Qiangu Wuji as a disciple. He stated that Wuji could enter Shrek's Inner Court directly and promised guidance toward the Title Douluo threshold within thirty years. Wuji declined, choosing instead to experience the path of an ordinary soul master. 5

Despite the refusal, Yun Ming respected Wuji's decision and later told him that his talent would inevitably bring him to Shrek within three years. 40

Shrek sent a representative team to Eastsea Academy's Class Promotion Tournament. Although the visiting group was described as an ordinary Outer Court squad, it included third-year Outer Court students Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, while its captain Zhang Batian had already been selected for future Inner Court admission. 94 96 97

Organization

Inner Court

Shrek's Inner Court is treated as an exceptionally prestigious destination among soul masters. Entry is associated with demanding standards; Qiangu Wuji notes that a complete set of battle armor before age twenty is Shrek's requirement for entering it. 97

Outer Court Team at Eastsea Academy

The delegation wore Shrek's plain dark-green uniforms and was led by the red-haired Teacher Ye. 94 96

• Teacher Ye — Team leader and a Soul Saint with Two-Word Battle Armor; she later risks herself to protect her students. 109 121
• Zhang Batian — Team captain; a six-ring Battle Armor Master selected for Shrek's Inner Court, wielding the Dark Demon Dragon Martial Soul. 97 113
• Ye Xinglan — Third-year Outer Court student; cold and aloof, later apologizes for the cafeteria dispute. 96 104
• Xu Lizhi — Third-year Outer Court student; his hunger-driven line-cutting incident sparks the confrontation with Qiangu Wuji's group. 96 102
• Na'er — A young Inner Court girl who accompanies the delegation to Eastsea City to find her brother, Qiangu Wuji. 95

Story Role / Major Arcs

Eastsea Academy exhibition match

Shrek's delegation opens the tournament by having Zhang Batian face Eastsea Academy's senior Class One alone. Wearing battle armor and displaying six soul rings, he defeats the seven-member team in less than a minute and openly provokes the audience, establishing Shrek's overwhelming reputation and arrogance. 97 98

Cafeteria conflict

Xu Lizhi cuts in line at Eastsea Academy's cafeteria due to hunger. Qiangu Wuji permits it, but Ye Xinglan suspects ulterior motives and clashes with Gu Yue. The dispute escalates until Eastsea students surround the Shrek group and demand an apology. 102 103

Xu Lizhi apologizes first and persuades Ye Xinglan to acknowledge that Shrek's side initiated the conflict. Zhang Batian's treatment of Na'er then drives Qiangu Wuji to challenge Shrek's entire team in the tournament final. 104

Tournament final

Shrek faces Qiangu Wuji and Gu Yue after Eastsea Primary Department Class One wins the tournament. Qiangu Wuji rapidly eliminates Xu Lizhi with Spatial Teleportation, then confronts Zhang Batian's Dark Demon Dragon. 112 113

Zhang Batian's Black Dragon Domain drains Qiangu Wuji's attributes and strengthens himself, but Qiangu Wuji counters Atomic Breath by activating the Emperor Armor's crystal and unleashing the Flame Dragon Finishing Move: Demon Sealing Slash. 113 115

Qiangu Wuji defeats Zhang Batian despite the latter's six-ring cultivation, giving Eastsea Academy victory. He later attributes the decisive gap in part to Zhang Batian fighting without his battle armor. 116

Holy Spirit Cult crisis

When Tang Wulin and a Title Douluo ally threaten the Shrek group, Teacher Ye initially attempts to buy time for the students to escape. Zhang Batian and the other students refuse to abandon her, choosing to fight alongside her instead. 121

The group cannot withstand the enemy's next assault, but Qiangu Wuji arrives in armor and uses Spatial Teleportation to save them. 122
