History
Shrek rose to prominence after the fall of Martial Soul Hall ten thousand years earlier. Its historical prestige rests in part on its role during the war following the collision of the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, when it rallied continental soul masters against the Sun Moon Empire. 9 16
By the current era, Shrek is regarded as the continent’s foremost academy and possesses enough influence that commoners and ordinary soul masters fear provoking its students. Its status is described as that of a “secret uncrowned king,” with even the Heavenly Soul Royal Family expected to give it considerable face. 16
The academy’s relationship with the surviving Angel Clan and Martial Soul Hall descendants is deeply hostile. Shrek personnel identify powerful Angel martial souls as threats to Shrek’s position, while the Angel Clan regards Shrek as an institution that has sought to eradicate them rather than eliminate Evil Soul Masters. 9 10 17
Organization and Influence
- Sea God Pavilion — Shrek’s senior leadership includes Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, and Mu En. 10 37
- Shrek Supervisory Team — A body whose members include Dai Yueheng; its stated purpose is dealing with threats such as Evil Soul Masters. 17
- Inner Court — Shrek deploys inner-court students on soul-ring hunting expeditions under Elder Xuan’s leadership. 37 39
- Military strength — The academy fields elders, teachers, Super Douluos, and Title Douluos, and operates soul-guidance defenses during the beast tide at Shrek City. 9 42
- Political standing — Dai Yueheng invokes Shrek’s name alongside the Star Luo Empire and White Tiger Duke in an attempt to pressure Heavenly Soul authorities. 18
Reputation and Controversies
Shrek’s public image is contested. It retains immense historical prestige, but the misconduct of its students Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin—who refused to pay a restaurant owner and threatened commoners—sparks open denunciation in the Heaven Dou Empire. 15 16
Ye Que uses the incident to accuse Shrek of exploiting its status and failing the common people it claims to protect. The crowd’s support shows existing resentment toward Shrek’s perceived privilege, though the academy’s past role in defending the continent makes such criticism politically dangerous. 16 17
The Heavenly Soul Royal Family investigates the incident and determines that the Shrek students were responsible for bullying local commoners. Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin are detained, while Zhengtian Academy is rewarded for intervening. 18 19
Relations with the Angel Clan
Shrek initially treats the emergence of a high-bloodline Angel martial soul as a major threat. Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe investigate the holy aura left by Ye Que’s soul-ring hunt and conclude that Martial Soul Hall descendants may be active again. 10
Yan Shaozhe shows hostility toward Ye Que during the beast tide, suspecting the Body Sect and Martial Soul Hall descendants of causing the crisis. 43
Mu En takes a more conciliatory position. He argues that Angel soul masters naturally track and suppress Evil Soul Masters, considers them potential allies, and orders that Shrek should avoid turning Ye Que into an enemy. 37 38
Story Role / Major Arcs
Investigation of Ye Que's Emergence
Shrek detects the extreme holy aura created during Ye Que’s acquisition of his fourth soul ring and sends Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe to investigate the Star Dou Forest. The two identify possible Martial Soul Hall activity and report the matter to Mu En. 10
Heaven Dou Restaurant Incident
Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin provoke a confrontation by bullying a restaurant owner and refusing to pay their bill. Ye Que publicly challenges their conduct, rallies local support, defeats them, and forces them to compensate and apologize. 15 16 17 18
The subsequent Heavenly Soul investigation rejects the Dai brothers’ attempt to portray Ye Que as a Martial Soul Hall criminal. Princess Vina states that the Angel Clan is not to be treated as “remnants,” and assigns responsibility for the disturbance to the Shrek students. 18 19
Response to the Angel Clan
Mu En later restrains the academy’s hostility toward the Angel Clan. He recognizes that their ability to locate Evil Soul Masters complements Shrek’s own limitations and argues that cooperation is preferable to conflict. 37 38
Beast Tide at Shrek City
After Ye Que’s faction hunts powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest’s core region, Di Tian launches a beast tide against Shrek City, believing Shrek to be responsible. 41 43
Shrek’s soul-hunting squad is caught in the initial assault and suffers severe injuries before Elder Xuan returns. Shrek’s teachers and elders then defend the city alongside Mu En, but Di Tian overwhelms both Mu En and Xuan Zi in direct combat. 41 42
The Body Sect and Ye Que’s group ultimately reinforce Shrek with more than a dozen Title Douluos, helping halt the soul beast army’s advance after the city’s eastern gate is breached. 43
