Background

Huo Yuhao first learns that Shrek Academy is located in Shrek City when Bei Bei offers to take him there. Although Yuhao doubts that his talent meets its admission standard, Bei Bei uses a special admission slot to secure his enrollment in exchange for Yuhao's strange fruit 1 2.

The academy is presented as a long-standing institution with statues of its founders and the original Shrek Seven Monsters. Tang San's statue contains a strange power that Xia Liang identifies as likely faith power 2. Shrek's accumulated faith is later connected to the Sea God, though the Golden Tree begins absorbing that faith and converting it into its own strength 42.

Shrek enrolls students in separate Martial Soul and Soul Guidance Departments. The Martial Soul Department traditionally dominates internal resources and restricts its core disciples from dividing their attention with soul-tool studies, while the Soul Guidance Department seeks more recruitment access and funding 8 15. Huo Yuhao ultimately receives dual-department core-disciple status, splitting his time between the two departments 20.

Campus

• Shrek Academy is located in Shrek City, a major central-continent city with a population of nearly five million 1 22.
• Teaching buildings are color-coded white, yellow, purple, and black, mirroring soul-ring colors; the Soul Guidance Department's buildings are set apart in the distance 2.
• The campus contains statues of three legendary figures and seven additional statues representing the original Shrek Seven Monsters 2.
• The Golden Tree stands on campus and is linked to the Douluo Continent plane's consciousness. It can empower Mu En with Shrek's accumulated foundation 2 42.
• The Sea God Pavilion serves as the academy's senior authority and contains its accumulated foundations 40 42.
• Male and female student dormitories are separated; the girls' dormitories begin on the fourth floor, and male students caught there face expulsion 2.

Administration and Departments

Martial Soul Department

The Martial Soul Department is Shrek's traditionally dominant division and specializes in martial-soul instruction. Wang Yan considers its martial-soul guidance unmatched by any organization across the Douluo and Sun Moon Continents 20.

• Overseen by figures including Yan Shaozhe and Wang Yan 8 20.
• Invests heavily in Martial Soul Department core disciples and normally prevents them from studying in the Soul Guidance Department 15.
• Its freshmen undergo strict assessment, including combat against selected soul beasts 21.

Soul Guidance Department

The Soul Guidance Department studies soul tools and competes with the Martial Soul Department for resources and talented students.

• Led by Dean Xian Lin'er, who personally recruits Huo Yuhao for his spiritual-type martial soul and interest in soul engineering 9.
• Secures independent student-recruitment slots and recovered resources through Yan Shaozhe's agreement with Xia Liang 8.
• Possesses few ranked carving knives: one belongs to Xian Lin'er and one to Vice-Dean Fan Yu 65.

Sea God Pavilion

The Sea God Pavilion is Shrek's highest-level governing body and the center of its accumulated foundations.

• Mu En convenes its elders to address major threats, including the manifestation of Sea God's Light 35.
• The Golden Tree's power can elevate Mu En beyond the Limit Douluo threshold while he defends Shrek 42.
• Xuan Zi considers withdrawing from the Pavilion after failing to protect the tournament team from Wu Yun's ambush 56.

Training and Assessments

• Freshman education — Zhou Yi subjects Freshman Class One to harsh discipline, expelling nine students after their initial running exercise. Huo Yuhao questions whether immediate expulsion is appropriate for a teacher 5.
• Freshman Assessment — Teams compete in elimination matches; the top performers may receive core-disciple rewards 10 15.
• Advancement Assessment — Students select soul beasts to face in the beast arena, with scoring tailored to their combat roles 21.
• Tournament reserve selection — Shrek selects a seven-person reserve team for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. Huo Yuhao leads the trials with two displayed ten-thousand-year soul rings 31 32.
• Twilight Forest training — Shrek conducts a three-day team exercise in a dedicated Twilight Forest instance. The team must hunt a twenty-thousand-year Naga, Nine-Headed Serpent, and Lich while protecting Wang Yan 41.

Twilight Forest Arrangement

Shrek receives access to a dedicated Twilight Forest portal after discussions with Xia Liang and the Spirit Pagoda. The academy may use Spirit Pagoda soul-spirit services, but Xia Liang refuses to permit Shrek access to a standard Twilight Forest instance or establish closer cooperation too quickly 32 40.

The academy's temporary training instance contains a purple portal and provides students with a Magic Map, monster guide, food, and mission supplies. Xuan Zi supervises from within but will intervene only in life-threatening situations 41.

Shrek Supervisory Group

The Shrek Supervisory Group is one of the academy's major responsibilities. It targets evil soul masters and is presented to the tournament team as a common cause regardless of their individual backgrounds 53.

• Xuan Zi explains its history, duties, and purpose before the team encounters the Death's Envoys mission 53.
• Membership does not provide a salary, discouraging some students such as Jiang Nannan from pursuing the inner court path 53.
• The group’s mission against evil soul masters leads to Wu Yun's ambush, which severely injures Shrek's main tournament team 55.

Tournament Role

After the main team is incapacitated by Wu Yun, Shrek sends its reserve team to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament under Wang Yan's leadership 55.

• The reserve team opens the tournament against Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy 60.
• Huo Yuhao uses his Simulation soul skill to make the team appear to possess ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year soul rings, leading outside factions to believe Shrek has formed a major alliance with the Spirit Pagoda 61.
• Shrek's displayed ring pressure overwhelms Thousand Spirits Academy in a team battle 65.
• The team defeats Skycrown Academy in the two-two-three format despite facing three Soul Kings, with Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian winning the decisive second match 66 67.
• As injured official members recover, Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, and Dai Yueheng return to reinforce Shrek's lineup 68.

• Mu En — Senior Shrek authority associated with the Sea God Pavilion and Golden Tree; negotiates with Xia Liang on the academy's behalf 20 40 42.

• Xian Lin'er — Dean of the Soul Guidance Department; competes for resources and recruits Huo Yuhao 8 9.
• Xuan Zi — Rank 98 Taotie Douluo who supervises the Twilight Forest exercise and escorts the tournament team 31 41 55.

Trivia

• The academy is described as the institution that produced gods 63.
• Shrek’s fearsome public image allows tournament organizers to use weaker academies in early rounds to showcase its strength 58 60.
