Overview

Shrek Academy is regarded as the undisputed number one Soul Master academy on the Douluo Continent and has maintained that reputation for ten thousand years. It began as a small, failing school before rising to continental prominence. 34 206

The academy is based in Shrek City and includes an Outer Court, Inner Court, Sea God Island, the Sea God Pavilion, a Beast Fighting Zone, and training facilities tied to the Golden Tree. 80 184 304 305

Governance

Sea God Pavilion

The Sea God Pavilion is Shrek Academy's highest decision-making body and the core of the academy. Its Elders are compared to the Guardian Douluo of major empires, while its Pavilion Master is compared to an emperor. 184

The pavilion is a three-story wooden structure near the top of Sea God Island's hill. It bears a black plaque inscribed with gilded characters reading “Sea God Pavilion.” 184

• Mu En — Academy Dean, Sea God Pavilion Master, and commander of the Shrek Inspection Team; known as the Dragon God Douluo. 90
• Yan Shaozhe — Spirit Department Dean and the academy's 261st headmaster; a Level 95 Super Douluo. 15
• Cai Mei'er — Vice Dean of the Spirit Department. 90
• Xian Lin'er — Dean of the Soul Guidance Department. 90
• Qian Duoduo — Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department. 90
• Gong Changlong — Senior figure who presented Qin Yue's cultivation agreement on the pavilion's behalf. 90
• Xuan Zi — Deputy Commander of the Shrek Inspection Team. 90

At one Sea God Pavilion meeting, twelve Title Douluo were openly present, including Gong Changlong; the lowest-ranked Elders were stated to be at least Level 94. 90

The Golden Tree

The Golden Tree stands on Sea God Island and emits a rich life aura. Following Mu En's death, Xuan Zi restored the Sea God Pavilion to its true appearance, revealing the tree's full form. 305

Mu En planned to assimilate with the Golden Tree and seal his soul imprint within it as Shrek Academy's final trump card. 258

Departments and Student Structure

Shrek Academy is divided into an Outer Court and an Inner Court. Inner Court students receive superior training but are expected to face greater dangers through mandatory service in the Shrek Inspection Team. 105

Division	Function
Spirit Department	The academy's primary Soul Master education branch, led by Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er. 90 303
Soul Guidance Department	Teaches Soul Tool and Soul Engineering disciplines; led by Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo. 90
Healing System	Headed by Life Douluo Zhuang Yusen. 90
Shrek Inspection Team	Inner Court organization responsible for tracking and killing Evil Soul Masters. 90 105

The academy's Soul Guidance Department is comparatively weak beside the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, prompting Shrek to support exchange programs and invest in Soul Engineering talent such as Huo Yuhao. 264 302 303

Facilities

Beast Fighting Zone

The Beast Fighting Zone lies south of the Soul Fighting Zone, behind a gray, castle-like wall. It contains Soul Beasts captured by the academy for students to practice Soul Skills and undertake assessments. 80

It is the academy's largest area, covering as much space as the teaching buildings, dormitories, and Shrek Square combined. 82

• Grade Advancement Assessments require students to fight Soul Beasts directly.
• A Soul Beast's age determines the assessment's base score.
• Choosing an overly weak target may result in failure despite victory, while overestimating one's ability can lead to injuries or deaths before teachers can intervene. 80
• The Beast Pen held seven Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts at one point, including a seventy-thousand-year Mystic Armor Shield Dragon. 83

Sea God Pavilion Training Resources

The Sea God Pavilion provides high-level cultivation resources, including:

• Access to the underground world beneath the pavilion. 90
• One Deep Meditation opportunity per school year. 90
• Use of the Sea God Island Spirit Gathering Platform. 90
• Year-round bathing in the Sea God's Light. 90
• High-grade medicinal pills for cultivation and bottleneck breakthroughs. 90
• Specialized training rooms, including the lightning-aspected Lightning Chamber. 186

Shrek Inspection Team

All Inner Court students must join the Shrek Inspection Team and accept missions against Evil Soul Masters. The academy considers Evil Soul Masters a continental threat and pursues them regardless of whether they are heirs of major factions or members of royal families. 90 105

Reserve Shrek Seven Devils are asked to commit to the Inspection Team before beginning their first mission. The team issues silver-white rings inset with emerald gems and bearing a Shrek-head design. 105

The Inspection Team has suffered serious losses in past operations. An elite squad led by Xuan Zi lost eight future talents during one mission, while surviving members later left Shrek due to the trauma. 23

During a later crackdown on Evil Soul Master strongholds, Shrek promised lifelong support to the families of fallen personnel and direct academy admission for qualifying descendants. 281

Recruitment and Special Treatment

Shrek Academy aggressively recruits exceptional talent. Yan Shaozhe took interest in Qin Yue shortly after his enrollment, though the Qin Clan's resources complicated attempts to bind him to the academy. 15

The Sea God Pavilion ultimately granted Qin Yue an unprecedented arrangement:

• Dual-system Core Disciple status in both the Spirit and Soul Guidance Departments.
• Exceptional Inner Court Core Disciple privileges, including unrestricted Inner Court access and permission to audit its courses.
• The right to choose Inner Court students or teachers for sparring and receive monthly guidance from a Title Douluo.
• Special admission to the Inner Court after the school year without examinations.
• Direct placement in the Shrek Seven Devils Reserve Team and the lifelong Shrek Seven Devils title upon graduation.
• High-level clearance for Sea God Island and the lower and middle levels of the Sea God Pavilion.
• Permission to attend public Sea God Pavilion meetings and propose motions.
• Permission to bring two or three peers into Inner Court foundation courses.
• Extensive cultivation resources from the Sea God Pavilion. 90

The academy also invested heavily in Huo Yuhao's Soul Engineering potential, arranging an exchange with Ming Virtue Hall so he could develop beyond Shrek's technical limits. 302

Shrek Seven Devils

The Shrek Seven Devils are the academy's most prestigious student representatives, with the first generation's legend remaining a continental symbol for ten thousand years. 100

Reserve members are selected to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament and are expected to become the main team five years later. 100

During the tournament covered in the novel, the reserve team included Qin Yue, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, He Caitou, and Xiao Xiao. Yan Shaozhe exempted Qin Yue from regular team training because of his overwhelming strength. 101

Major Events

All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament

Shrek Academy entered the tournament as its most prominent team, with crowds at Star Luo Plaza loudly chanting the academy's name. Its popularity eclipsed every other participating academy, including the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. 116

• Qin Yue defeated Yunluo Academy's Ma Yingjun within seconds, causing Yunluo to concede the match. 117
• The main team defeated Beast Academy in the Round of 16, though Guan Shao's poison eliminated Gongyang Mo and exposed flaws in Shrek's scouting. 146 149
• Star Luo National Academy handed Shrek its first defeat of the tournament in a semifinal team battle, eliminating the entire main team. 162 163
• Shrek later secured the championship after the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy conceded due to heavy casualties. 173

Evil Soul Master Raid

The Holy Spirit Cult launched a night raid on Shrek City to test Mu En's condition, abduct Ma Xiaotao, and investigate Qin Yue's connection to the Angel Family. 244

Zhongli Wu led the assault, deploying a Beast Soul and the Bone Dragon King while transforming into his Death Demon Puppet martial soul avatar. Mu En intervened with golden holy light, forcing Zhongli Wu and the Evil Soul Masters to retreat, but the attack further worsened Mu En's health. 245

Afterward, Mu En ordered the academy to publicize the raid and emphasize that the attackers likely originated from the Sun Moon Empire, seeking broader assistance against the Evil Soul Masters. 247

Exchange with Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy

Shrek Academy began a student exchange with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. Yan Shaozhe welcomed the visiting students on behalf of Shrek's Spirit Department, while acknowledging the implicit disparity between the two academies' Soul Guidance programs. 303

The Sun Moon students were housed in the Inner Court and required to pass an assessment before experiencing Inner Court teaching. Shrek promised individualized cultivation plans based on each student's abilities and goals. 304

Qin Yue was named one of the exchange program's instructors. 303

Reputation and Rivalries

• Shrek's ten-thousand-year status as the continent's premier academy draws talented students from across the Douluo Three Kingdoms. 206 249
• The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy seeks to surpass Shrek and become the continent's number one academy. 116
• Shrek's weakness in Soul Tool development threatens its position as the Sun Moon academy advances rapidly. 264
• The academy maintains a long-running competitive relationship with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, particularly over Qin Yue's allegiance and resources. 182
