Background / History

Shrek Academy emerged above the Star Dou Forest as a colossal floating island, thousands of meters in the sky. Its futuristic architecture, flying Soul Tool vehicles, and advanced facilities immediately distinguished it from the terrestrial academy sharing its name. Lin Feng serves as its principal, and a statue resembling him stands in the academy plaza 4 8.

Its defining philosophy is to turn ordinary people into monsters rather than recruit only those who are already exceptional. The academy accepts applicants regardless of commoner or noble background, sect affiliation, or original martial soul quality, provided they sincerely seek strength 3 207.

The academy’s appearance created an immediate identity conflict with the older Shrek Academy. Its students and staff rejected claims that the terrestrial institution alone owned the name, while the latter repeatedly denounced the floating school as an impostor or “pirated” academy 1 6 24.

The academy’s growing reputation has attracted the attention of major sects, empires, Soul Tool organizations, and even divine figures. Recognition of the academy as a genuine “Monster Academy” continually grants Lin Feng system rewards, including personnel, students, resources, technology, and special locations 4 20 369 393.

Educational Philosophy

Shrek Academy defines a “monster academy” as an institution capable of cultivating ordinary people into individuals admired by the world. This stands in direct contrast to the terrestrial academy’s policy of recruiting only pre-existing prodigies 3.

Lin Feng guarantees that students who enter will not be expelled; the academy instead accepts responsibility for their development through graduation and beyond 5.

• Admission is open to commoners, nobles, major sect members, and small-family descendants alike 207.
• Applicants must pass the academy’s assessment; the ninth trial is particularly important because it screens out potential ingrates 91.
• The second entrance-examination stage tests willpower through a painting of a majestic golden dragon 4.
• Students may undertake secondary professions and academy tasks as part of their education 93 134.
• First-year students may apprentice under Titled Douluo masters; the academy reportedly has more Titled Douluo than students 62.
• After intensive training, students are sent to the Douluo Continent for practical trials and real combat experience 192.
• Students from the Sun Moon Empire, including Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ji Juechen, were permitted to undertake the academy’s assessment after seeking admission 331.

Major Arcs

Arrival and Admissions

Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi expose the conflict between two institutions using the Shrek name. They bring Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya to the floating academy, where Lin Feng permits them to observe its entrance examinations 1 4.

Huo Yuhao chooses to remain and participate in the assessment, triggering Shen Yi’s arrival as a special teacher. Bei Bei and Tang Ya decline enrollment and return to the terrestrial academy 6.

Conflict with the Terrestrial Shrek Academy

Elder Xuan Zi attempts to seize the floating academy, its technology, and its students for the terrestrial Shrek Academy. Lin Feng refuses, defeats him, and has him captured 8 9.

Yan Shaozhe later confronts Zhuo Shi during academy recruitment and is defeated, then captured. The visible defeat damages the terrestrial academy’s reputation and draws prospective students toward the floating academy 11 14.

Mu En eventually approaches diplomatically to seek the return of detained people, recognizing the academy’s overwhelming depth after meeting Bei Xin 42 43.

The conflict escalates after the terrestrial academy attempts to acquire Sky Shrek’s soul-ring-upgrading technology through Ling Luochen and Zhang Lexuan. Both infiltrators instead accept service within the floating academy, and Ling Luochen later refuses to return to her former institution 134 193 209.

Zang Xin subsequently overwhelms fifteen terrestrial Shrek Titled Douluo in two moves and confiscates the terrestrial academy’s reserves. The resulting defeat devastates its reputation and combat strength 220 224 246.

Expansion and Student Development

The academy expands its student body through broad admissions, advanced resources, Soul Spirit technology, secondary-profession training, and mecha instruction. Its students receive individualized Titled Douluo-level guidance and access to high-value rewards through Contribution Points and competitions 62 91 136 183.

Its first-year students also receive immersive Spirit Ascension Platform training, where teams battle simulated Soul Beasts to increase Soul Ring ages and potentially obtain Spirit Bones 50 54.

Following their faction assignments, students participate in the Five Great Competition for access to powerful techniques and unique skills from other cultivation systems 183 364.

External Exchanges

Students conduct friendly sparring exchanges with institutions such as Star Luo Royal Academy. The Star Luo Empire seeks closer ties after learning of Sky Shrek Academy’s power and the terrestrial academy’s decline 277 278.

Wang Dong’er and Xiao Xiao displayed the academy’s overwhelming student strength during the Star Luo exchange by defeating two five-ring Soul Kings within seconds. The outcome strengthened the Star Luo royal family’s interest in friendly relations with the academy 280.

Huo Yuhao also visits the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy to study Soul Tool technology, identifying himself as a Shrek Academy student despite the political hostility between Shrek and the Sun Moon Empire 231 232.

Abyss Crisis

When Abyss Creatures assault Shrek City and the terrestrial Shrek Academy, Ya Li and powerful Sky Shrek Academy figures arrive to heal the wounded and reinforce the defense 312 315.

The academy later assigns Tang Wulin’s group combat missions against Abyss Creatures, allowing students to gain practical experience and Contribution Points while responding to the crisis 314.

The terrestrial academy’s survivors later acknowledge their weakness relative to Sky Shrek Academy, though Bei Bei and several elders still choose to assist against the Abyss threat 334. With the Abyss Passage having opened at its original site, the terrestrial academy begins considering reconstruction elsewhere after the crisis 335.

Relationships

• Lin Feng — principal and central authority; oversees admissions, infrastructure, and academy policy 4 5.
• Terrestrial Shrek Academy — rival institution sharing the same name; relations are marked by disputes over legitimacy, repeated clashes, detentions, and limited cooperation during the Abyss crisis. The terrestrial academy’s survivors later plan to rebuild away from the Abyss Passage beneath its former campus 6 224 312 335.
• Tang Sect — linked through Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya; initially associated with the terrestrial academy’s enrollment quota 1 6.
• Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect — connected through Ning Tian; her enrollment represents a major loss to the terrestrial academy and opens possible sect-wide ties with Sky Shrek 116 206.
• Star Luo Empire — seeks friendship and potential alliance through the academy’s students 278.
• Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy — an institution Huo Yuhao visits to learn Soul Tool technology despite the broader hostility between Shrek and the Sun Moon Empire 231 232.
• Mingde Hall — monitors the academy after receiving reports of Yun Ming and the floating academy’s strength 90 97.
• God Realm — divine figures, including the God King of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, recognize the academy’s potential and trigger further system rewards 369 393.
• Tang San — regards Tang Wulin’s academy membership as a possible means for the Tang family to gain control of Shrek Academy in the future; this remains Tang San’s personal intention rather than an academy policy 380.

Trivia

• The academy does not maintain a “Shrek Seven Devils” title or program; Wu Siduo states she has never heard of one at the academy 276.
• Its uniforms are distinct from the terrestrial academy’s green uniforms, preventing one Shrek’s students from recognizing the other’s at a glance 199.
• Its technological facilities include self-cleaning grounds, floating streetlights, flight-capable public transport, and virtual combat simulations 4 14 37.
• The academy’s recognition as a “Monster Academy” repeatedly strengthens Lin Feng’s system and unlocks teachers, students, facilities, and resources 4 9 42 160 369 393.
