Admissions and Assessments

• Initial screening — Candidates undergo bone-age, Soul Power, and spiritual-power tests. 124 125
• Preliminary survival assessment — Examinees are normally organized in teams of three and placed in dangerous environments containing Soul Beasts; survival time and hunts affect scoring. 126
• Large-scale selection — Shrek's preliminary selection draws candidates from multiple planets, including Tianluo and Tiandou. 126
• Second examination — Candidates arriving at Shrek proceed to physical testing, including blood collection. 144 146
• Final assessment — The Aerospace Center hosts a final stage for successful candidates. 169 172
• Exceptional candidates — Shrek may make special arrangements for unusually capable applicants; Lin Yuan's Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power secured his admission. 125

Culture and Resource System

Shrek's stated philosophy emphasizes cultivating “monsters,” with students expected to fight for resources rather than receive them freely. The academy's council hall displays the motto: 158

“Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities.” 158

Students use badge-based resources and rewards. Shrek badges can be earned through interconnected missions, while White-Grade Badges can purchase Sea God Lake water. 158 170

Controversies

Treatment of ordinary students

A Shrek staff member described past experiences of suppression, isolation, and inadequate teacher intervention, while Hua Linhan's homeroom teacher was accused of organizing rumors and pressure against Zoffy under the justification of “tempering” his character. 56 57

Zoffy publicly condemned what he called the academy's injustice toward ordinary students and teachers' abuse of authority. His speech drew support from students who said they were treated as tools for geniuses rather than people with dignity. 58 60

Ying Luohong stated that the academy had not supported Hua Linhan's teacher's methods and threatened disciplinary action after the incident escalated. 60

Internal unrest

Zoffy's speeches intensified conflict between gifted and less-talented students. Shrek administrators acknowledged that less-talented students had begun organizing against stronger students, with disputes spreading into missions and daily academy life. 85

After Ling Yiyi's group borrowed money from Zoffy to settle debts owed to Shrek, public criticism accused the academy of exploiting ordinary students. 96

Delayed intervention during the pirate attack

During the space-pirate crisis involving Zoffy, Shrek delayed its support despite the Federation's Level One war response. Shrek later maintained that its reinforcements had been delayed by an ambush from Sin Planet. 101 107

The academy subsequently announced a posthumous special Sea God Pavilion seat and Red Badge for Zoffy, presenting the award as its highest respect for a Federation hero. 107

Lin Yuan and the Reform Crisis

Lin Yuan initially planned to attend Shrek, but later stated that he intended to “thoroughly revolutionize” the academy rather than simply join it. 13 92

During the Tryouts, Lin Yuan's performance drew the attention of the Sea God Pavilion. Yi Zichen sought to recruit him as a student and use his influence to stabilize the Outer Court, a plan Wang Tianyu opposed. 133

After Lin Yuan's identity as Zoffy became public, Yi Zichen's attempt to use him for experiments was exposed. Yi Zichen later died by self-destruction after failing to capture him. 152 157

Shrek granted Lin Yuan a Red Badge but publicly tried him on charges of attempting to subvert the academy. Lin Yuan admitted his opposition to Shrek's practices and argued that its system unfairly favored the strong at the expense of weaker students. 157 158
