Background

Shrek is presented as a prestigious soul master institution whose actual facilities are markedly dilapidated. Visitors compare the academy’s conditions unfavorably to the slums of Heaven Dou City, while Xuan Qing describes it as an academy built by ruffians. Its faculty and students include Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and the Shrek Seven Devils. 26

Despite its reputation, Shrek’s training methods are questioned by Zhu Zhuqing after the Shrek Seven Devils’ defeats, and Xuan Qing openly criticizes Yu Xiaogang’s teaching. 23 26 Zhu Zhuqing ultimately leaves the academy to pursue strength independently, while Ning Rongrong later acknowledges that remaining at Shrek had been a mistake. 36 41

During a later Federation and Holy Spirit Cult purge, Shrek is subjected to a major assault. Although it retains its public name as the continent’s foremost academy afterward, its core is stated to have been seized and reshaped into an instrument of the Golden Tree and the plane’s consciousness. 100 102 103

Reputation and Public Record

• Shrek possessed a ten-thousand-year championship streak in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament before its semifinal defeat by Sun Moon Academy. 151
• Tournament records presented by Xiao Hongchen state that, across twenty tournaments in the preceding century, Shrek matches accounted for over 80% of accidental deaths—327 recorded deaths in total. 151
• The academy’s leaders are accused of applying a double standard: accepting casualties caused by Shrek as unavoidable while condemning opponents for injuring Shrek students. 151
• Shrek’s authority and public image deteriorate after its tournament conduct and defeat; Star Luo City residents openly ridicule its leadership, while Emperor Xu Jiawei considers ending the Star Luo Empire’s ties with the academy. 146 151
• In a subsequent tournament five years later, Shrek again loses to the Sun Moon Empire, this time finishing second rather than reclaiming its former championship status. 153 154
• Chen Xin publicly accuses Shrek of deliberately allowing Evil Soul Masters to persist in order to preserve its institutional importance and sustain faith in the Sea God. Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Gong Changlong are unable to effectively refute the accusation, causing further damage to Shrek’s credibility. 248 249
• Dai Yaoheng’s public defeat and humiliating conduct lead Xuan Yao to suggest that Shrek’s students require psychological examination, further embarrassing the academy before its teachers, students, and spectators. 256

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early defeats and internal discord

The Shrek Seven Devils are decisively defeated by Xuan Qing in two minutes despite their combined efforts. Tang San’s hidden weapons and poison fail to affect him, leaving the team humiliated before a large audience. 20

Shrek’s internal tensions worsen after another one-against-seven loss costs Dai Mubai’s group a 100,000 Gold Soul Coin prize. Zhu Zhuqing privately questions the value of the academy’s training, while Zhao Wuji rebukes Yu Xiaogang for provoking a mob that later assaults Tang San’s group. 23

Zhu Zhuqing’s doubts eventually drive her to leave Shrek and seek Xuan Qing so that she can become strong enough to control her own fate. 36

Bloodline conflict

Yu Xiaogang’s malicious interest in Xuan Qing’s bloodline triggers the manifestation of Xuan Qing’s Spirit-Warding Azure Dragon phantom. Xuan Qing then attacks Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Liu Erlong, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Yu Tianheng, ties them together, and sends them flying away. 63

Shrek Inspector Group disaster

During a training mission in the Mingdou Mountain Range, the Shrek Inspector Group suffers massive casualties when the Death God Envoy detonates corpses within a cave. Xuan Zi arrives too late, fails to stop the attacker, and Huo Yuhao is kidnapped. Xuan Qing secretly records the incident with Image Recording Soul Tools. 90

A later soul-hunting expedition under Zhang Lexuan also ends in catastrophe, with only half of the participating inner-court students returning. Xuan Qing saves the survivors in exchange for a 50,000-year torso bone, while Mu En strips Xuan Zi of his Sea God Pavilion authority and confines him for one year over his negligence. 137 138 139

Purge of Shrek City

Six years after an earlier period of conflict, the Federation and Holy Spirit Cult launch a purge against Shrek City. Xuan Qing observes the assault from the Spirit Pact Pagoda before intervening; his Dragon-Man Clone brutally defeats the Limit Douluo Long Yeyue. 100

The battle culminates in a catastrophic explosion, with a fragment of Tang San’s divine consciousness barely shielding Shrek’s core members. In the aftermath, the Federation and Holy Spirit Cult choose to seize and reshape Shrek rather than simply destroy it. 102 103

Tournament collapse

Shrek enters the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament under severe pressure. Xuan Qing refuses to heal its injured students after being offended, while Huo Yuhao’s display of six ten-thousand-year soul rings draws Xuan Qing’s anger. 144

In the semifinal against Sun Moon Academy, Shui Bing’er defeats Shrek’s entire seven-person lineup alone. She freezes the team with Ice Seal, drains their Soul Power with Ice Phoenix’s Cry, and ultimately incapacitates them with Ice Phoenix: Burial Abyss of Gods and Ice Explosion Technique. 149 150

After Xuan Zi condemns Sun Moon’s methods, Xuan Qing and Xiao Hongchen expose Shrek’s casualty record. Shrek’s tournament streak ends in the final four, prompting widespread mockery and public outrage. 151

Five years later, Shrek reaches the tournament final but is defeated by the Sun Moon Empire once again, confirming the continued collapse of its former competitive dominance. 153 154

Assault on Shrek City

Xuan Qing later targets Shrek City directly. After disrupting Huo Yuhao and Di Tian’s Soul Spirit Pact with a stink bomb, he appears above the city in Azure Dragon form and orders non-Shrek residents to leave within three breaths. 205 206

He declares that Shrek created its own disaster by refusing to hand over Huo Yuhao and rejects Mu En’s appeal to protect the city’s civilians. 206

Xuan Qing exposes Tang San’s alleged manipulation of Shrek and its disciples for faith, uproots the Golden Tree, destroys Tang San’s arriving divine sense, and begins destroying Shrek City’s defenses. 208

Re-entry and compensation crisis

Xuan Qing later registers at Shrek alongside Dong Qianqiu and Ning Rongrong, who enrolls under the alias Ning Qingling. Their reported ranks—59, 54, and 51 respectively at twelve years old—shock academy staff and prompt an investigation. 221

Shrek’s elders decide to retain the trio because of their exceptional potential. Xuan Qing anticipates interference and prepares Video Soul Tools to document it. 228

When Xuan Zi is caught secretly entering the students’ room, Chen Xin uses recorded footage to expose him. The resulting confrontation further damages Shrek’s standing. 232

Following the incident, Sea God Pavilion accepts a compensation burden described as six hundred-thousand-year soul bones and one eighty-thousand-year torso bone. Mu En concludes that Shrek cannot safely retaliate against the opposing side. 236

Shrek later delivers six soul bones as payment for Ma Xiaotao’s treatment and accepts an additional standing price of either a soul bone above 30,000 years or 20,000,000 Gold Soul Coins whenever her Evil Fire requires suppression. 271

Evil Soul Master allegations and renewed demands

Chen Xin challenges Shrek’s leadership over its long-term handling of Evil Soul Masters, alleging that the academy preserves the threat to maintain its authority and the Sea God’s faith. The resulting confrontation intensifies public suspicion that Shrek has deliberately sacrificed or concealed the fates of its own younger disciples. 248 249

As Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire worsens, Xuan Yao arranges for Shui Yue’er to treat her through an evolved water-element martial soul while using the situation to pressure Shrek for further compensation. 249 265

When Ma Xiaotao loses control and battles Shui Yue’er, Xuan Yao orders Shui Yue’er to strike without restraint. Xuan Zi’s intervention is stopped when the Golden Tree lashes him with its branches; Xuan Yao then demands a savage-beast-level water-attributed soul bone and a dark-attributed soul bone from Shrek. 301
