Background / History

Shrek Academy was insignificant ten thousand years earlier but became the greatest academy under heaven in the later era. Alongside Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, it stands at the summit of the Soul Master system: Sun Moon specializes in Soul Tool dismantling and manufacture, while Shrek is unmatched in researching and analyzing Martial Souls 73.

Its earlier admissions philosophy was comparatively open. Commoner Soul Masters such as Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Qin Ming could attend, and the academy was regarded as maintaining at least basic fairness under Flender's leadership 73.

By the present era, its culture has shifted from “talent above all” to “background above all.” Applicants need a city lord's recommendation letter before they can even take the entrance examination, a requirement that favors nobles, officials, and wealthy merchants while excluding most commoner Soul Masters 73 271.

The academy's prestige rests heavily on the first-generation Shrek Seven Devils' ascension as gods and on its record of cultivating God Trial Takers 86 390. Mu En's status as a Rank 99 God Trial Taker further elevated Shrek's political influence, allowing it to avoid contributing resources during negotiations for the Two Worlds Soul Master Exchange Competition 291 316.

Academics and Admissions

Martial Soul Research

Shrek's principal academic strength is Martial Soul research and analysis, a field in which no other academy is presented as its equal 73.

• The academy maintains both Martial Soul and Soul Tool Departments 81 293.
• It cultivates core students and Inner Court students, with the latter forming the backbone of the Shrek Supervision Group 277 291.
• Its students and teachers include specialists in combat, support, control, healing, and Soul Tool use 293 404.

Admission Policy

Applicants require a city lord-issued recommendation letter before being allowed to take Shrek's entrance examination 73.

• The policy gives students from noble, official, and wealthy merchant families a significant advantage before enrollment 271.
• The academy's admissions practices are criticized as contributing to the broader exclusion of commoner Soul Masters from advanced education 73.
• Shrek's leadership later considers relaxing admissions standards, expanding competition, and restricting knowledge dissemination through an Information Cocoon System 394.

Campus and Uniforms

Shrek Academy occupies the center of Shrek City, at the end of four major roads extending from the city's east, west, south, and north gates 291.

• The academy has two gates: a main gate and a rear gate 291.
• The rear gate is rarely opened; across more than seven thousand years of the current campus's history, it has opened only thirty-seven times, each for a major Shrek Supervision Group campaign against Evil Soul Masters 291.
• The main gate is positioned beyond a circular road surrounding the academy and is visibly distant from the city approach 291.
• A tram route later connects Shrek City to the Soul Arena outside the city in approximately forty minutes 351.

Uniform System

Reputation and Influence

Shrek Academy is regarded as the strongest academy in its world and attracts imperial families, sects, academies, nobles, and powerful Soul Masters to Shrek City 271.

• Its influence is reinforced by its association with the Seven Gods and generations of Shrek Seven Devils 86 390.
• Mu En's God Trial Taker status made other factions reluctant to oppose Shrek or demand that it contribute resources to continental negotiations 316.
• Shrek shifted its own resource burden for the Two Worlds Soul Master Exchange Competition onto the three great empires, with the Dou Ling Empire ultimately bearing the greatest cost 332.
• The academy benefits from events hosted near Shrek City, including the newly built Soul Arena and taxes levied on merchants during the competition period 332 446.
• After Mu En's ascension, Shrek's position declines as other nations gain Ultimate Douluo-level figures and begin taking benefits previously controlled by the academy 708.

Major Arcs

Ye Qingcang's Challenge

Ye Qingcang of Blue Tyrant Academy challenged all Shrek students after clashing with Xu Sanshi. He planted Blue Tyrant Academy's banner for three days and offered to accept one-on-one fights, consecutive battles, and group attacks; if Shrek could not defeat him, he would take its plaque 77.

Shrek formally accepted the terms through Du Weilun, with Mu En personally backing the decision 78. Ye Qingcang defeated students from the first through fifth years in rapid succession without using his Martial Soul or soul skills, reducing his opponents with a single slap 81.

After Inner Court students also failed, Shrek surrendered its plaque. Ye Qingcang stated that it would remain absent until a Shrek student could clear Blue Tyrant Academy alone and reclaim it 85 86.

Conflict with the Dou Ling Delegation

Xu Sanshi's parents, Xue Lingxun and Xuanming Douluo, entered Shrek Academy while searching for their son and clashed with Xiao Xiao and surrounding students 276 277.

Xuanming Douluo's released Soul Power shattered Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron and injured multiple students. Du Weilun and Yan Shaozhe intervened, with Shrek's staff openly defending the academy's students and authority 277.

Spirit Hall's Arrival

Spirit Hall's delegation later arrived in Shrek City while numerous powers gathered around Shrek Academy and Mu En 291. Guang Ling Douluo launched an arrow combining Ultimate Light and Ultimate Ice toward Sea God Pavilion, causing panic and injuries across Shrek Academy and Shrek City 294.

Two Worlds Soul Master Exchange Competition

Shrek Academy used its standing to host the first tournament in a newly constructed Soul Arena outside Shrek City while avoiding direct resource contributions 332 345.

Its teams advanced prominently through the competition:

• Shrek fielded three teams in the Individual Competition's Top 128, led respectively by Ma Xiaotao, An Yuerou, and Wan Hao 406.
• Shrek and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy won the Fifth Decision; Yan Shaozhe won the individual title 578.
• Shrek and Spirit Hall won the Sixth Decision, with Xuan Zi taking the individual victory 578.
• Shrek Academy reached the Top Four of the Seventh Decision and defeated Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in the semifinals, extending its undefeated record against that rival 584 593.
• Its later battle against Blue Tyrant Academy saw its team employ God Descent states, Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and support measures against Ye Qingcang's side 597.
