Background / History

Shrek Academy first appears in Suotuo City when it opens directly across the street from Flender's older, shabby academy of the same name. Its sign is markedly better made, and its arrival immediately triggers a rivalry over the name and student recruitment. 1 4

During the Suotuo enrollment day, the academy charges one Copper Soul Coin, in contrast to Flender's academy's ten Gold Soul Coin fee. Its recruiters present a different educational philosophy: rather than admitting only existing “monsters,” it claims it can turn enrolled students into monsters through training and resources. 4 5

Wu Zhangkong's demonstration as a seven-ring Soul Sage draws parents and applicants to the academy. Tang San and Xiao Wu ultimately choose Flender's academy after the confrontation, paying ten Gold Soul Coins each. 6 12

The academy later establishes a presence in Tiantou City, Star Luo City, Sea God Island, and Spirit City. Its Star Luo branch receives formal backing from the Star Luo Emperor, who orders that obstruction or sabotage of the academy be treated as hostility toward the empire. 80 91 112 147 167 193

By the time of its freshman tournament, Shrek Academy is regarded as the continent's foremost power, with its rapid rise drawing the rulers of both empires, Spirit Hall, and major factions to Suotuo City. 206

Qian Daoliu later learns from Yun Ming that Shrek Academy intends to cultivate multiple students into gods. Yun Ming further states that Lin Feng's strength exceeds that of ordinary gods and that the academy was founded by gods, revealing a foundation far beyond the continent's conventional Soul Master institutions. 238

Educational Philosophy

“Those who enter low leave high; those who enter high leave outstanding.” 5

• Shrek Academy presents itself as an institution that develops potential rather than selecting only naturally gifted students. 5 20
• Its entrance examinations are open regardless of background, talent, or Soul Power level, although applicants must still pass the assessment. 112 113 131
• In Star Luo City, nearly one thousand applicants took the assessment and ninety-one were admitted; the entrants included both highly talented applicants and people with poor innate talent. 113 114
• Registration in Star Luo City costs one Copper Soul Coin and is refunded to applicants who fail the assessment. 113
• The academy provides free room and board to its students. 54
• The Spirit City branch likewise admits applicants without outstanding innate talent if they meet its assessment standards. 204
• The Sea God Island branch enrolls many children with very low, or even zero, Innate Soul Power. Rather than indiscriminately distributing resources, Chen Xinjie requires students to meet training objectives before receiving rewards such as Mystic Water Pills. 193

Campuses

Location	Details
Suotuo City	First documented campus and later identified as a branch. Although its facilities can support far more students, it initially has only one class of twenty students and recruits for one Copper Soul Coin. 1 4 62
Tiantou City / Heaven Dou City	An imposing branch operating by Chapter 91; later visited by Qian Renxue, Prince Xue Xing, Xue Beng, Qian Daoliu, and Xue Ye. 91 116 142 189
Star Luo City	Built with support from the Star Luo Empire; its enrollment campaign attracts applicants from throughout the empire. The ninety-one admitted freshmen are divided into three classes. 112 113 200
Sea God Island	A branch planned by Lin Feng and entrusted to Chen Xinjie; it is later operating on Sea God Island. 80 193
Spirit City	A branch quietly established on the western main street through the transfer of several former shops. Its silvery-white gates and construction escaped Spirit Hall's notice until after it had opened. 167 168 204

Resources and Training

Soul Guidance Technology

Students are taught to use Level 2 Soul Guidance Cannons. A single shot can approach the power of a three-ring Soul Elder, and students who achieve at least a 70% hit rate over ten shots receive their cannon from the academy. 20

• Soul guidance devices can correspond to a Soul Master's number of rings.
• Some Soul Tools allow ordinary people to wield combat power comparable to an average Soul Master. 20
• Every student in Ning Rongrong's class possesses a Level 2 Soul Guidance Cannon. 99
• The academy also provides Soul Tools capable of functioning as vehicles and mechs. 124 125
• Its gates and barriers possess significant defensive and isolation functions; several Soul Kings cannot force open the Star Luo branch's gate, and outside observers cannot sense activity within the academy. 112
• The Spirit City branch uses silvery-white Soul Tool gates that retract beneath the ground to open. 168
• Freshman tournament placements are rewarded with Black-Grade or Red-Grade Mechs and Level 7 through Level 9 Soul Tools, demonstrating the academy's extensive reserves of advanced Soul Guidance equipment. 249

Battle Armor

Wu Zhangkong teaches students about Battle Armor and its ability to drastically amplify combat power. 29

• One-Word Battle Armor can allow a five-ring Soul King to contend with a seven-ring Soul Sage.
• Two-Word Battle Armor can allow a six-ring Soul Emperor to rival an eight-ring Soul Douluo.
• Wu Zhangkong's Two-Word Battle Armor lets him, as a seven-ring Soul Sage, match a Titled Douluo. 29

Pills and Cultivation Resources

The academy provides its students with resources including Soul Ascension Pills and Mystic Water Pills. 99

• Each student receives one thousand Gold Soul Coins upon enrollment. 99
• Shrek Academy's resources are substantial enough that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect struggles to find items suitable to exchange for its Contribution Points. 121 122
• At the freshman tournament, the academy awards competitors complete sets of Soul Bones ranging from sixty-thousand-year to three-hundred-thousand-year quality, alongside large quantities of Contribution Points and advanced Soul Tools. 249
• Lin Feng distributes Soul Ascension Pills to the tournament audience. Each pill allows a Soul Master to advance from level thirty to thirty-one without side effects, though an individual may benefit from only one such pill. 249

Virtual Training

The academy possesses Virtual Pods that allow users to enter a virtual world for training. 99 121

Secondary Professions

Shrek Academy incorporates secondary professions into its curriculum, including blacksmithing, Soul Engineering, mecha manufacturing, mecha repair, and mecha design. 123 200

• Star Luo branch students receive practical blacksmithing instruction under Yan Feng and Mu Chen, an eight-star Saint Craftsman. 200
• Mu Chen demonstrates the forging of Sinking Silver before allowing students to attempt using the academy's forging hammers. 200
• The academy employs specialized teaching teams and high-level blacksmiths to support technical education. 123

Physical Training

The academy's physical training can include gravity-chamber conditioning, alternating extreme heat and cold therapy, and deep-water endurance exercises. 204

• Mu Ye pushes freshmen through these harsh regimens to build their physical endurance and resilience alongside Soul Power. 204
• The academy has opened a reverse passage to the Demon Plane and converted the Demon Plane into a training ground. 267

Confinement Facilities

Shrek Academy maintains Confinement Rooms capable of holding dangerous individuals and soul beasts. Chen Xinjie imprisons the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming in one such facility, while reports also identify Tang Hao and Liu Erlong as having been held by the academy. 80 121 206

Story Role / Major Arcs

Suotuo City Name Dispute

The academy's opening opposite Flender's school sparks repeated clashes between their students and staff. Wu Siduo defeats Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, while Wu Zhangkong later defeats Zhao Wuji. 1 3 10 12

Ye Xinglan eventually demands an apology and insists that Flender's academy stop using the same name. Flender accepts defeat and agrees to rename his academy. 74 147

Expansion and Recognition

The academy's resources, technology, Battle Armor instruction, and strong students steadily establish its reputation as a “Monster Academy.” 20 29 66 99

Its expansion into Star Luo City gains imperial endorsement and attracts massive enrollment interest from commoners and talented applicants alike. 112 113 114

The academy continues its expansion by establishing branches on Sea God Island and within Spirit City, extending its influence into regions traditionally dominated by other major powers. 80 167 193

Attention from Major Factions

Shrek Academy's strength draws attention from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Heaven Dou imperial family, Spirit Hall, and the Star Luo Empire. 94 114 116 140 142

Yun Ming's victory over Qian Daoliu demonstrates the academy's high-level power and intensifies outside factions' efforts to establish ties with it. 145

The appearance of multiple level ninety-nine experts associated with separate branches convinces Spirit Hall that the academy possesses power exceeding even its own high-level combat forces. 151 203

Spirit City Establishment

Shrek Academy silently establishes a branch on Spirit City's western main street, prompting Bibi Dong to investigate personally with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. 167

Spirit Hall's Golden Generation challenges the branch's student Su Mu, who accepts the confrontation as a public demonstration of the academy's strength. 168

Su Mu defeats Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan. When Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo attempt to intervene, Mu Ye and Cai Hu defend the student, while Long Yeyue's subsequent appearance forces Bibi Dong to withdraw. 171 172

Conflict with Monster Academy

When Yu Xiaogang, Yu Yuanzhen, Flender, and Liu Erlong approach Shrek Academy seeking to rescue Tang San, Yu Xiaogang aggressively demands his release. Sima Jinchi immediately incapacitates Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, forcing the opposing group to confront the academy's overwhelming strength. 177 178

Freshman Tournament

Shrek Academy holds a continent-wide freshman tournament in Suotuo City. The event attracts the Heaven Dou and Star Luo emperors, Qian Daoliu and Spirit Hall's Worship Hall elders, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and representatives of major factions across the continent. 206

Fang'er serves as the tournament commentator, while the academy uses the event to display the results of its branch-based education and freshman training. 206 207

Tang Wulin's performance overwhelms the Star Luo Empire's representative and convinces Spirit Hall's Golden Generation that they cannot match Shrek Academy's students. The tournament's lavish Soul Bone, Contribution Point, Mecha, and Soul Tool rewards further demonstrate the academy's unprecedented resources. 247 249

Divine Ambitions and Soul-Beast Outreach

Yun Ming reveals to Qian Daoliu that Shrek Academy's long-term objective is to train multiple students into gods. He also identifies Lin Feng as a being whose power exceeds ordinary gods and states that the academy was founded by gods. 238

Di Tian (Dragon King Version), the head of the academy's Soul Beast Development Department, confronts the Star Dou Great Forest's Di Tian over the relationship between soul beasts and humans. The Dragon God intervenes before their conflict escalates further. 242

Demon Plane Training

Shrek Academy opens a reverse passage to the Demon Plane and repurposes the hostile plane as a training ground. This expansion reflects the academy's role in resisting threats from other planes while developing its students beyond the limits of conventional Soul Master education. 267
