Overview

The academy is located within Shrek City and includes the Outer Court, Inner Court, Sea God Island, Sea God Pavilion, Soul Fighting Arena, Shrek Plaza, dormitories, and a cafeteria. 8 12 26 40

Administration

Sea God Pavilion

The Sea God Pavilion is Shrek Academy’s highest-level assembly and is located in the tallest building on Sea God Island. Its elders convene there whenever the academy faces a major matter. 12

• Mu En — Sea God Pavilion Master; oversees major academy decisions and ordered Lin Shuo’s records sealed. 12 13
• Yan Shaozhe — convened the Sea God Pavilion to address Lin Shuo’s unprecedented martial soul and potential. 12
• Xuan Zi — Inner Court elder and Super Douluo; supervises the tournament team and leads field training. 40 46
• Qian Duoduo — associated with the Soul Guidance Department’s leadership. 14
• Fan Yu — an eighth-rank soul engineer and a leading figure in the Soul Guidance Department. 14

Sealed Student Records

After Lin Shuo’s Seven-Colored Dragon King martial soul shattered Zhou Yi’s Red Dragon martial soul through suppression, Yan Shaozhe ordered his file sealed and restricted access without direct authorization. 12

Mu En supported the restriction, considering Lin Shuo’s presence an opportunity for the academy while warning against excessive attempts to control or recruit him. 13

Departments and Courts

Outer Court

The Outer Court houses Shrek’s regular students and freshman classes. Lin Shuo and Huo Yu'er entered Freshman Class One under homeroom teacher Zhou Yi. 8

The Outer Court’s strongest students are selected for the Shrek Seven Devils reserve team. By the time of the selection tournament, Lin Shuo was considered the highest-cultivation student in the Outer Court. 37 38

Inner Court

The Inner Court trains advanced disciples for more dangerous responsibilities. Inner Court students participate in practical combat exercises and are expected to be prepared for life-or-death situations rather than treating the academy as a completely safe environment. 40

Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Gongyang Mo, Xi Xi, Zhang Lexuan, and other senior tournament members are Inner Court disciples. 40 44 51

Soul Guidance Department

The Soul Guidance Department trains soul engineers and promotes the use of soul tools. Huo Yu'er became Fan Yu’s apprentice after demonstrating her Spiritual Detection Sharing. 14

Following casualties during the inspection mission, the Sea God Pavilion ruled that every Inner Court disciple must have soul guidance devices made, prioritizing student safety over departmental rivalry between the Martial Soul and Soul Guidance Departments. 48

Shrek Inspection Group

The Shrek Inspection Group is an Inner Court organization responsible for supervising Soul Masters, particularly Evil Soul Masters. All Inner Court disciples and teachers are members. 44

• Inner Court disciples must complete thirty inspection missions before graduation. 44
• The group regards Evil Soul Masters as a primary target because of their wicked cultivation methods and dangerous martial souls. 44
• Preliminary team members are asked whether they will accept this future responsibility or withdraw. 44

Student Life

Students receive dormitory keys, uniforms, and badges upon enrollment. 8

Freshman instruction can be severe. Zhou Yi forced students who had not fought during enrollment to run one hundred laps around Shrek Plaza, threatening expulsion for those who failed. 11

The academy conducts freshman assessments and rewards exceptional students. Yan Shaozhe described the 60,000-year Ice Dragon torso bone awarded to Huo Yu'er as an unprecedentedly valuable freshman-assessment reward. 20

Shrek Seven Devils

The Shrek Seven Devils are the academy’s representatives in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. The academy has never suffered defeat in the tournament since the first generation of Seven Devils. 38

Reserve Team Selection

The reserve team was selected through a free-for-all competition in which the last seven students remaining would qualify. 39

Reserve Team Member	Notes
Lin Shuo	Selected member; later appointed captain of the preliminary team. 40 44

Tournament Leadership

After Lin Shuo defeated Ma Xiaotao, Xuan Zi appointed him captain of all thirteen available tournament participants. The captaincy would transfer only if another member defeated him. 44

Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan later served as team leaders during the tournament in Star Luo City. 51

All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament

Shrek Academy entered the tournament as defending champions but registered only eleven contestants after several main-team members were injured during the Death Messenger mission. 46 48 49

The team’s reduced roster consisted of four main-team members and seven reserve members under fifteen years old. Rival academies initially interpreted this as arrogance, though some recognized that Shrek would not risk its record without cause. 49
