Background

Shrek Academy is regarded as the continent's number one academy, with a reputation built on claiming nearly every Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy tournament championship over the past ten thousand years. Its prestige grants it the foremost position among competing academies and routinely intimidates lesser opponents into surrendering before battle 33 35.

The academy is governed through the Sea God Pavilion, whose elders are Titled Douluo-level pillars of Shrek. Mu En serves as the pavilion's master, while Elder Xuan is its vice pavilion master 8 87.

Education Reform

Yan Jingzhe proposed abolishing the separation between the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department. Mu En approved the plan, formally merging the two into a unified Outer Court 87.

• Years one to three — Students enter unified classes and must study both Martial Soul cultivation and foundational Soul Guidance knowledge daily. 87
• Fourth year onward — Students may select a primary specialization, but must still complete introductory coursework from the other discipline to graduate. 87
• Teaching model — Each first-year class receives two jointly responsible instructors: one from the former Martial Soul Department and one from the former Soul Guidance Department. 87
• Facilities — Formerly abandoned classrooms were converted into integrated spaces containing cultivation facilities, Soul Guidance workstations, and removable partitions for joint instruction. 87
• Faculty pairing — Yan Jingzhe personally paired instructors to balance theory with practical teaching, veteran experience with newer perspectives, and contrasting temperaments. 87

Soul Spirits and the Spirit Pagoda

Yan Jingzhe developed and promoted the Soul Spirit Method through the Spirit Pagoda, an organization independent from Shrek Academy but initially supported by Shrek's resources and reputation 55.

• The Spirit Pagoda supervises Soul Spirit Contracts and manages their formation, auditing, registration, and maintenance. 55 112
• It is intended to serve as a bridge between humans and Soul Beasts, while cultivating and managing Soul Spirits. 55
• Yan Jingzhe stated that the Soul Spirit Method belongs to him personally, rather than exclusively to Shrek Academy. 112
• Shrek publicly warned major powers against interfering with the Spirit Pagoda, identifying its master as a Shrek elder. 76
• Soul Spirits can grow alongside their Soul Masters, fight beside them, and increase their hosts' combat potential beyond the limits of fixed Soul Rings. 117

Yan Jingzhe's defeat of Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, one of the continent's long-established Limit Douluo, significantly strengthened Shrek's deterrent power 76.

Major Arcs

Continental Tournament at Star Luo City

Shrek entered the tournament as the overwhelming favorite and dominated the early rounds, with several opposing academies surrendering upon seeing its dark-green uniforms 34 35.

Border War and Retreat

Shrek joined the three great empires and the Body Sect in an offensive and defensive alliance against the Sun Moon Empire. Yan Jingzhe accepted the agreement on the condition that Shrek receive unified wartime command 113.
