Background / History

Grandmaster recommends Shrek Academy to Lin Chuan and Tang San rather than the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He considers its less comfortable, less aristocratic environment better suited to producing soul masters capable of enduring real hardship. He explains that a “Shrek” is an extremely bizarre yet powerful spirit beast—a fitting name for the academy’s monster-like students 17.

The group later departs for Heaven Dou City under Flender’s leadership, intending to challenge the “hothouse flowers” of the imperial capital 40. After leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Shrek receives Blue Tyrant Academy as a new base from Liu Erlong, who renames and grants it to Shrek Academy 50.

Under Lin Chuan’s guidance, Shrek develops an unconventional combat philosophy centered on practical combat, flexible tactics, and exploiting each martial soul’s potential. Its rise draws attention from rival academies, noble factions, Spirit Hall, and the Heaven Dou royal family 123 137 146.

Academy Philosophy

• Rejects overly protected “greenhouse” training environments in favor of hardship and real combat 17.
• Emphasizes practical experience, team coordination, unconventional tactics, and adapting support abilities for offense 26 38 123.
• Lin Chuan uses incentives—including powerful pills—to motivate the team, while also directly addressing individual weaknesses 143.
• Yu Xiaogang ultimately acknowledges that Lin Chuan’s methods surpassed his own rigid theories and limits on the students’ imagination 137.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Soto Grand Arena

Shrek’s team undergoes real-combat testing at the Soto Grand Arena, including battles against the Berserk Team and Ferocious God Team. After the Ferocious God Team attempts to intercept and kill them, Lin Chuan subdues the attackers; Shrek’s students kill them in their first experience of lethal combat 26 37.

Lin Chuan then purifies Thousand-Year Whale Glue for the team, allowing them to improve their physical bodies and raise their spirit-ring absorption limits 37 38.

Heaven Dou City and Academy Relocation

Shrek arrives in Heaven Dou City and establishes a winning streak at the Great Soul Fighting Arena, attracting the attention of the Heaven Dou Imperial Fighting Team 42. Following conflict at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Shrek leaves with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling as new recruits and gains Blue Tyrant Academy as its new home 49 50.

Exchange Tournament

Shrek defeats Elephant Armored Academy through a formation led by Tang San, with Dugu Yan, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing filling specialized roles 108 110.

Against Blazing Fire Academy, Shrek uses pre-match buff stacking and coordinated counters to overwhelm its opponents. Blazing Fire ultimately surrenders after being completely outclassed 121 123.

In the tournament final, Tang San’s Heart Separation Control enables Shrek to coordinate multiple simultaneous attacks and defeat the Heaven Dou Imperial Fighting Team 144 145. The victory leads Qian Renxue to appoint Lin Chuan as the Heaven Dou Empire’s first Advanced Soul Master Academy Special Advisor 146.

Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament

Shrek opens the Heaven Dou Qualifiers by defeating Elephant Armored Sect Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Thunder Academy in under ten seconds each. These victories render the anti-Shrek alliance ineffective and secure Shrek’s qualification early 172.

In the finals, Blazing Fire Academy forfeits rather than face Shrek in the first round 188. Shrek advances through the top-six stage with a 10–0 victory over a weaker opponent 194.

During the elimination rounds, Lin Chuan identifies and counters a scheme involving Martial Soul Hall and Thunder Academy to exhaust Shrek before later matches 196. He subsequently defeats twelve opponents from Spirit Hall and Star Luo Empire academies alone, including Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation 200.

Shrek defeats Spirit Hall’s team in the tournament final, but Spirit Hall attempts to arrest the team immediately afterward. Tang Hao intervenes, allowing Shrek to leave Spirit City 205 206 207.
