Biodata
| Feature | Information |
|---|---|
| Name | Shrek Academy (Shrek; 史莱克) |
| Alias(es) | Shrek; Shrek Team |
| Occupation/Role | High-level Soul Master Academy; organizer and defending champion faction in the Soul Master Tournament |
| Status | Active |
| First Appearance | 4 |
Organization
| Division / Position | Known Details |
|---|---|
| Martial Soul Department | Led by Dean Yan Shaozhe, who evaluates prospective students’ martial souls. 5 |
| Soul Guidance Department | Shrek’s technical standards are stated to be broadly comparable to those of the Douluo Three Empires; its advantage comes from gathering talented Soul Masters whose cultivation improves their Soul Tool crafting. 5 |
| Qian Duoduo | A Title Douluo capable of forcibly stacking core arrays to manufacture Level 8 Soul Tools. 5 |
| Pavilion Elders | Senior figures connected to the academy, including Xuan Zi. 132 |
Background
Shrek Academy is a prestigious destination for aspiring Soul Masters, with admission influential enough that families and merchant firms seek connections to obtain places. Yan Shaozhe receives and dismisses such requests frequently, and he rejected Su Fan after judging his Aperture martial soul not to be a genuine Body Martial Soul. 4 5
The academy’s reputation in Soul Guidance is tied less to an overwhelming technological lead than to its concentration of exceptional Soul Master talent. Its powerful cultivators can refine and improve Soul Tools beyond what ordinary technical capability would suggest. 5

Story Role / Major Arcs
Su Fan’s Admission Attempt
Su Tian sought to secure Su Fan a place at Shrek, but Yan Shaozhe rejected him after inspecting his martial soul. This rejection directly contributed to Su Fan pursuing a different path through Dou Ling Royal Academy and the Body Sect. 4 5 6
Tournament Rival
Shrek served as the principal standard Su Fan sought to overcome in the Soul Master Tournament. Its two Soul Emperors, established roster system, and status as defending champion made it the most prominent obstacle to Dou Ling’s title bid. 21 22 31
In the final, Shrek initially underestimated Su Fan and was unable to contain his combined soul-skill techniques, spatial tactics, and Aperture Method. Its Golden Road countermeasure was reflected, its formation was divided, and its strongest combatants were defeated. 32 33 34 35 36
Conflict with the Body Sect
Shrek’s conflict with the Body Sect intensified after Ma Xiaotao’s defeat. Xuan Zi blamed Su Fan for her condition, while Du Busi intervened to protect him; the confrontation ended without open conflict. 39
Later, Su Fan, Du Busi, and Electrolux secretly observed Shrek Academy for three days while investigating the Auspicious Beast’s possible connection to the academy. Their pursuit of Wang Qiu’er in Shrek City drew Xuan Zi and other academy elders into a confrontation with the Body Sect. 130 131 132
Beast Tide at Shrek City
During the Beast Tide triggered by the Auspicious Beast’s death, Shrek City became a principal defensive front. Its disciples left the city to intercept the incoming soul beasts, while the academy’s wider conflict with the Body Sect and major soul-beast forces continued around the city. 138 141 144
Relationships
- Dou Ling Royal Academy / Dou Ling Team — Tournament rival that defeated Shrek in the final and claimed the championship. 31 39
- Su Fan — Rejected applicant who later became Shrek’s decisive opponent in the tournament final and a central adversary during the Auspicious Beast incident. 5 32 39 130 132
- Body Sect — Hostile faction led by Du Busi; tensions escalated following Ma Xiaotao’s defeat and the hunt for Wang Qiu’er in Shrek City. 39 131 132
- Shrek Seven Devils — Traditional title granted to Shrek’s official tournament contestants upon winning the championship. 22
- Golden Ancient Tree — Intervened to block Du Busi’s attack and protect Shrek Academy during Xuan Zi’s confrontation with him. 132
