Background / History

Shrek Academy began as an obscure academy ten thousand years earlier, reportedly having more teachers than students. It grew into one of the continent’s foremost powers through its resources, alumni network, and association with the Sea God Pavilion. 1083

Its influence extends beyond education. Joining Shrek means joining the academy as a faction: graduates are expected to remain affiliated and contribute to it afterward. 51 The academy’s historical authority is exemplified by the Shrek Summoning Order, which once rallied more than sixty Titled Douluo from the former Douluo Three Kingdoms against the Sun Moon Empire. 244

Campus & Facilities

Sea God Island and Sea God Pavilion

Sea God Island houses Shrek Academy’s Inner Court and the Golden Ancient Tree. Sea God Pavilion stands at the island’s center against the tree and is regarded as the academy’s most important building. 48

• Sea God Pavilion has six above-ground floors, each over ten meters tall. 48
• The island’s year-round mist prevents the pavilion from being clearly seen from the Outer Academy. 48
• The pavilion contains specialized martial-soul mimicry rooms, including an Ice and Snow Mimicry Room used to accelerate Huo Yuhao’s cultivation. 97
• The Golden Ancient Tree’s power was once usable through Mu En; after his death, no one in the academy could wield it in the same way. 439

Beast Fighting Zone

The Beast Fighting Zone lies south of the Battle Soul Area and is Shrek Academy’s largest building and exclusive territorial facility. It houses soul beasts captured over many years for student training and practical combat. 55

• Its area is comparable to the Martial Soul Department’s teaching buildings, dormitories, and Shrek Plaza combined. 55
• The outer Beast Fighting Arena is accessible to students, while the inner Beast Circle is used to raise soul beasts. 55
• Its upkeep consumes one-third of Shrek City’s annual tax revenue. 55
• Titled Douluo-level experts guard the facility due to the danger and value of its captive soul beasts. 55

Rebuilt Academy

The reconstructed academy is markedly smaller and cruder than its former incarnation. It initially lacks even a mimicry training ground, but retains Shrek’s emblem, its Soul Tool Department, and its alumni connections. 1185 1188

• The new academy no longer separates students into Inner and Outer Courts. 1187
• The Martial Soul Department remains under Yan Shaozhe, with Cai Meier as vice dean. 1187
• The Soul Tool Department is retained under Xian Lin’er, with Meng Hongchen as a teacher. 1187
• At one point, fewer than forty pre-existing members remain, excluding newly admitted students. 1187

Education & Student Life

Shrek’s primary training system focuses on traditional Soul Masters, although Inner Court disciples may study combat techniques and Self-Created Soul Skills alongside their soul skills. 598

• The academy’s former Inner Court students and unaffiliated graduates can join Shrek’s army; this force has a particularly high proportion of Soul Masters and previously held off a Sun Moon Empire army with three thousand troops for fifteen days. 401
• Its Supervision Group handles continent-wide missions involving threats such as Evil Soul Masters. 149 1049
• Shrek rewards meritorious members with resources, soul bones, pensions for fallen members’ families, and enrollment privileges for their descendants. 439
• Huo Yuhao’s Fan Club became a significant internal force, with many outstanding Outer and Inner Court students counted among its members. 690
• The academy built the Huo Alliance a headquarters in the Outer Academy as a reward for improving student cultivation competition. 782

• Sea God Pavilion — Shrek’s most powerful associated institution and the seat of its elder leadership, though intelligence records note that the pavilion and academy are technically distinct entities. 48 690

• Shrek alumni — Former students occupy high positions across the continent and provide the academy with supplies, assistance, and political connections during crises. 440 1188

Reputation & Political Influence

Shrek Academy is widely treated as a premier continental power and a symbol of Soul Master prestige. Its competition teams receive preferential accommodations and public attention, while other academies often regard a match against Shrek as a major test of status. 221 230 807

• Its Reserve Team’s strength is considered far beyond that of ordinary factions, with multiple young Soul Emperor-level prospects anticipated. 822
• Its long-held status as a ten-thousand-year champion becomes increasingly vulnerable as powerful sects, clans, and rival academies emerge. 822 845
• The Three Great Empires’ imperial factions view Shrek-aligned nobles as a potential threat to centralized authority. 835
• Shrek’s reputation suffers after the Beast Tide, the zombie invasion, and repeated external attacks, leading even some of its members to question whether its methods can rival ancient clans and sects. 439 830 845
• Even after its destruction, Shrek’s name continues to attract applicants, alumni assistance, and respect from the Four Great Empires. 1185 1188
