Background / History

Shrek Academy is regarded as the Douluo Continent's number-one academy and a holy land for Soul Masters. Its enrollment season draws geniuses from across the Sun Moon Federation, while its alumni and influence reach throughout the continent. The Sea God Pavilion serves as its senior leadership and functions as a political force beyond the academy itself. 47 55 232

The academy's reputation grants its graduation certificate exceptional value, with Zhuo Shi describing it as a credential that can provide practical support to graduates facing future difficulties. 47

By the period covered in the novel, Shrek is portrayed as relying on its long-established prestige to act arrogantly, interfere in other forces' affairs, and influence Federation decisions through the Sea God Pavilion. This conduct creates widespread hostility toward the academy. 67

Campus and Enrollment

• Enrollment normally occurs once every three years and requires a recommendation from a Sun Moon Federation academy. 112 113
• A special enrollment is held only a year later after declining student numbers, regional instability, and a shortage in Shrek's talent pipeline. 112 113
• The academy recruits 100 students during this intake; all are designated Work-Study Students because Shrek faces a temporary financial deficit. 117
• Entrance examinations include a hundred-person free-for-all, with the top five advancing. 115
• New students compete in the Great Martial Arts Arena and Virtual Space for class committee positions. 117 118
• The Sea God Pavilion, Inner Courtyard, Outer Courtyard, Great Martial Arts Arena, Sea God Lake, and the Golden Ancient Tree are associated with the academy. 52 58 117 153 213

Sea God Pavilion

The Sea God Pavilion comprises Shrek's highest-ranking figures. Though publicly the academy's leadership, it is viewed as an independent power: joining it precludes simultaneous membership in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. 55

• Yun Ming — Sea God Pavilion Master and the continent's strongest figure; his support is instrumental in bringing Herta into Shrek's camp. 39 50 55
• Long Yeyue — senior elder and Light and Darkness Douluo; later secretly possessed by the Abyss Sage King. 52 61
• Cai Yue'er — elder who helps recruit Herta and later serves as homeroom teacher for the new intake; she is subsequently revealed to have been replaced by an Abyss Creature. 47 117 143
• Ya Li — elder who questions the rush to crusade against the Holy Spirit Cult and argues for investigation. 84
• Zhuo Shi — elder who first approaches Herta during enrollment. 47

Herta's Enrollment

Herta initially comes to Shrek to make connections, meet Yun Ming, and study his godhood rather than to receive ordinary instruction. She is unwilling to endure the normal enrollment process and intends to obtain a graduation certificate before leaving. 39 47

Long Yeyue later declares Herta a Shrek student and Sea God Pavilion member, severing her connection with the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. Yun Ming, Herta's parents, and the Forging Association support the arrangement. 55

The Herta within Shrek is actually a puppet resembling Yao Lan's clone. Its purpose is to observe Yun Ming's quasi-god status and search Shrek's library; it can self-destruct if its nature risks exposure. 54

Abyss Infiltration

The Abyss Sage King secretly possesses Long Yeyue, using her authority and pre-existing extremism to manipulate Shrek's actions under the justification of acting “for Shrek Academy.” 61

Under this influence, the academy moves toward conflict with the Holy Spirit Cult. The Sage King seeks to dispatch Shrek's elders away from campus so he can further implement his plans within the academy. 84

Shrek is ultimately revealed to have become an Abyss base camp, with most people inside transformed into members of the Abyss. 151 198

Shrek Seven Monsters

During the Star Luo Empire exchange selection, seven Outer Courtyard students receive the temporary title Shrek Seven Monsters. 136

• Tang Wulin
• Liu Ying
• Xie Xie
• Xu Xiaoyan
• Le Zhengyu
• Yuan En
• Ye Xinglan

Gu Yue is not included because she transfers directly into the Inner Courtyard after becoming a Sea God Pavilion elder's direct disciple. 136

Decline and Destruction

Hanabi targets Shrek's public image rather than simply attacking it physically. Her plan is to associate the academy with filth, arrogance, and corruption so that its reputation cannot sustain another revival. 67

A crisis involving a bomb deepens Tang Wulin's disillusionment: teachers and students encourage Liu Ying to carry the bomb away, effectively accepting her sacrifice to save the academy. 142

Chen Xinjie discovers the Abyss Sage King's takeover and uses Grade 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells against Shrek. Qian Gu Dongfeng separately launches a second wave of weapons in revenge for Shrek's past treatment of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. 151 152 153

The Abyss Sage King intercepts a cannonball, but the resulting destruction devastates the campus and kills numerous teachers, students, and Abyss forces. 153

A subsequent falling Herta Space Station leads to the final loss of the academy. The Blue Silver Emperor absorbs A Yin and Shrek Academy, while Yun Ming accepts that Shrek should not be revived. 155

Legacy and Reappearance

After Shrek's destruction, its name becomes taboo on Azure Blue Star due to its association with the Abyss. Former students are reluctant to identify themselves as Shrek graduates. 318

The academy's former students later learn that “Shrek” is described by the Xianzhou Alliance as a cosmic disaster: green monsters that consume civilizations and assimilate living beings into their own kind. 318 319

A green meteor from the Shrek God Realm later lands on Shrek's ruins near Herta City. Green buildings rise from the ground and proclaim the return of Shrek Academy. 325

The reappeared academy emits green light that turns more than 100,000 Herta City residents into puppet-like “students” marked with Shrek's symbol and stripped of their individuality. Asta resists due to her connection to Yao Lan. 325 326

The Interstellar Peace Corporation destroys this reconstructed academy with a Space-Based Kinetic Energy Weapon enhanced by Path energy. 327

Relationships

• Sea God Pavilion — Shrek's senior leadership body and de facto political arm. 55
• Spirit Transfer Pagoda — rival organization; tensions escalate after Shrek claims Herta from Leng Yaozhu's tutelage. 55 56
• Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy / Douluo Peace Academy — longstanding rival institution that later gains the resources and influence to challenge Shrek's former position. 62 122
• Douluo Peace Company — competitor and later major beneficiary of the post-Shrek order; its weapons are used in the academy's destruction. 152 225
• Abyss Plane — secretly infiltrates and converts Shrek into a base of operations through the Abyss Sage King's control. 151 198
• Shrek Seven Monsters — selected Outer Courtyard students who represent the academy during the Star Luo exchange. 136
• Herta — recruited as a student and Sea God Pavilion member, though the campus Herta is a puppet used to study Yun Ming. 54 55

Trivia

• Shrek's emblem resembles a green round face with two tentacles; Yao Lan later recognizes the same image in a cosmic Shrek formation. 263
• The academy's Golden Ancient Tree competes with Construction Wood for the Douluo Plane's life energy. 122
• The Abyss Sage King comes to value Shrek so deeply that, before dying with the Abyss Plane, he wishes to be reborn as an ordinary Shrek student. 207
