Background / History

Shrek is recognized as the continent’s number one academy, with a legacy spanning ten thousand years and alumni throughout the world. Its prestige extends beyond education: the academy controls Shrek City’s administration, taxation, and laws independently of the Federation 43 108.

The Body Sect’s hostility toward Shrek dates to a battle ten thousand years earlier. Mu Ye attributes the sect’s subsequent difficulties partly to Shrek’s suppression of its growth, and agrees to cooperate with Leng Yaozhu against Shrek at the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition 99.

By the time Bai Yuan challenges the academy, its enrollment has been slipping. Leng Yaozhu interprets the proposed exhibition match against the Spirit Pagoda as an attempt to restore Shrek’s standing through a public victory 94. Later, Shrek faces pressure from the Federation, the Spirit Pagoda, and factions it previously suppressed; Yun Ming and Ya Li acknowledge its need for successors and allies 153 158.

Appearance and Grounds

Shrek City is depicted as a massive, ancient settlement, compared to a beast crouching upon the earth. Its orderly buildings and illuminated skyline contrast with the shantytown and exploited merchants outside its walls 42 53.

• City walls: Tall, ancient, and bluish-gray beneath moonlight 42 53.
• Academy emblem: A huge green school emblem hangs from the tallest tower 42.
• Student uniforms: Green or dark green, bearing Shrek’s insignia 42 103 104.
• Teaching buildings: Bright corridors, floor-to-ceiling windows, alumni portraits, and displays of institutional honors 133.
• Golden Ancient Tree: Casts golden light across the academy and supplies life energy that Bai Yuan’s internal sapling absorbs 124 140.
• Spirit Ice Plaza: Hosts major Youth Genius Ranking battles 154.

Education and Institutional Culture

Teaching and Resources

• Open education model: Classes take place in the morning; afternoons and evenings are free time 133.
• Contribution points: Academy service is tied to access to benefits. Bai Yuan regards this system as a way of binding students’ interests to Shrek 133.
• Cultivation resources: Shrek possesses accumulated legacies and resources from generations of powerhouses. Bai Yuan seeks opportunities associated with the Golden Tree and Sea God Pavilion trials 129.
• Youth Genius Ranking: Establishes the standing of prominent students and provides a public stage for challenges. Bai Yuan eventually takes first place 104 135 154 158.
• Work-study program: Long Yeyue uses it as punishment for the seven students who lose the exhibition match, arguing that privileged resources have left them without sufficient drive 124.

Honor and Loyalty

Shrek’s history lessons emphasize the original Seven Devils, Sea God Tang San, and successive Sea God Pavilion masters. Bai Yuan considers these lessons indoctrination, while Shen Yi treats their legacy as a source of student motivation 133 134.

Students repeatedly invoke Shrek’s honor when confronting outsiders. Yu Yuanheng demands an apology from Bai Yuan’s group even though other Shrek students initiated the provocation. After Cai Yue’er returns injured, she reshapes the incident into a call for revenge against the Spirit Pagoda 104 122.

The academy also displays a strong hierarchy of strength. Students who initially resent Bai Yuan begin flattering him after he tops the Youth Genius Ranking; he interprets their change as respect for his position rather than genuine affection 158.

Shrek Seven Devils

• Purpose: An prestigious title intended for a new generation of seven outstanding students 214.
• Selection: The Sea God Pavilion considers ability and willingness to remain at the academy 214.
• Candidates on the Star Luo exchange: Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi 188 214.
• Varied appeal: Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi eagerly pursue the honor; Yue Zhengyu weighs his family obligations, while Ye Xinglan increasingly prioritizes strength over titles. Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena show no interest 214.

Combat Capabilities

Team Coordination

• The Heavenly Sea exhibition team combines control, frontal assault, and support buffs in a rehearsed opening attack aimed at Gu Yuena 112.
• Against Monster Academy, Xu Lizhi supplies buns that enhance vitality and Soul Power while reducing body weight 279.
• Shrek’s later exhibition lineup deploys One-Word and Two-Word Battle Armor 279.

Crisis Response

• During the Star Luo train ambush, teachers and students counterattack while evacuating the wounded 211.
• Wu Changkong activates his Martial Soul Avatar and Two-Word Battle Armor to confront enemy mechas 211.
• Tang Wulin and Xie Xie coordinate restraint and finishing attacks; Yuanen Yehui switches between Titan Giant Ape and Fallen Angel forms, while Ye Xinglan contains an opponent with her Stargod Sword 211.
• The students’ performance astonishes members of the Star Luo Royal Academy, demonstrating that Shrek’s military strength remains substantial despite its earlier public defeat 211.

Relationships

• Spirit Pagoda — Principal institutional rival. Their exhibition match damages Shrek’s reputation, but they subsequently arrange a one-year exchange involving Bai Yuan 94 117 130.
• Bai Yuan — Opponent, exchange student, and recruitment target. He benefits from Shrek’s resources and later fights in its delegation, but explicitly maintains that he belongs to the Spirit Pagoda 129 158 239 279.
• Gu Yuena / Gu Yue — Spirit Pagoda exchange student who helps defeat Shrek’s exhibition team and later participates alongside its delegation. She remains uninterested in Shrek’s history and Seven Devils title 111 133 214 279.
• Leng Yaozhu and the Leng Family — Rivals whom Cai Yue’er tries to court by offering Shrek’s backing in exchange for access to Bai Yuan. Leng Yaozhu rejects the initial proposal 120.
• Body Sect — Historical adversary. Mu Ye allies with the Spirit Pagoda against Shrek, and A Ruheng participates in the three-person team that defeats its seven contestants 99 111 115.
• Federation — Shrek exercises authority independently of Federation law within its city. The Federation later appears among the forces pressuring the academy 43 153.
• Qiangu Family — Uses the Shrek exchange to undermine the Leng Family. Qiangu Dongfeng also supports preparations for a separate operation against Shrek involving powerful soul-guidance technology 130 147.
• Yuanen Family — Powerful hidden family being courted by Shrek. Yuanen Yehui studies there, while Yuanen Tianshang seeks a teaching position 172 173.
• Monster Academy — Star Luo rival founded to challenge Shrek. Their exchanges culminate in individual tournament clashes and a heavily promoted team exhibition 213 239 277 279.
• Holy Spirit Cult / Evil Soul Masters — Enemies behind the attack on the delegation’s train, intended to massacre the mission and potentially provoke international conflict 211 212.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Extortion in Shrek City

Bai Yuan first reaches Shrek while testing the Black Calamity Set. Outside the city wall, he witnesses Outer Disciples demanding additional taxes from an elderly merchant who has already paid the Federation. He heals the merchant and eliminates the perpetrators 42 43.

Returning four years later, Bai Yuan learns that his intervention deterred further extortion. He nevertheless concludes that killing individual offenders cannot remove the institution’s underlying corruption and resolves to address its roots 53.

Heavenly Sea Grand Competition

Cai Yue’er arranges a publicly broadcast exhibition intended to strengthen Shrek’s prestige. The academy fields seven students led by Yu Yuanheng against Bai Yuan, Gu Yuena, and A Ruheng 94 108 111.

Gu Yuena stops the coordinated opening attack, A Ruheng overwhelms Chen Feng, and Bai Yuan defeats the remaining opposition. Yu Yuanheng’s uncontrolled Dragon Transformation ends with his severe injury from the Spear of Divine Retribution 112 115 116.

The seven-against-three defeat becomes continent-wide news. Media and spectators question Shrek’s supremacy, while Cai Yue’er’s attempt to recruit Bai Yuan leads to another humiliating defeat. The leadership responds by suppressing public criticism and punishing the losing students 117 120 122 124 125.

Bai Yuan’s Exchange Year

Qiangu Dongfeng secures a one-year exchange designed to remove Bai Yuan from the Leng Family’s immediate support network. Bai Yuan instead treats Shrek as an opportunity to gain cultivation resources and demonstrate his strength 129 130.

After disputes over admission and classroom conduct, Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena challenge the class. Bai Yuan defeats more than thirty students and counters Mo Jue’s curse with the Spear of Divine Retribution 132 134 135. His subsequent rise to first place on the Youth Genius Ranking prompts Yun Ming to plan his recruitment as a successor and ally 158.

Star Luo Exchange and Tournament

Shrek sends its student delegation to Star Luo, where it survives an Evil Soul Master train ambush and enters competition against Monster Academy 188 211 212 213.

Bai Yuan defeats Long Yue and wins the individual championship while wearing Shrek’s badge, but points to his Phoenix Family badge during the celebration. Shrek’s publicity department nevertheless publishes accounts crediting his success to its cultivation, omitting the Spirit Pagoda 248 250.

The delegation later faces Monster Academy in a closing exhibition. Bai Yuan leads Shrek’s formation and reveals his hundred-thousand-year sixth Soul Ring before using Calamity: Soul-Slaying Burning Edict; his teammates withdraw to give him room to unleash the skill 277 279 281.
