Standards & Educational System

Shrek’s current Inner Court/Outer Academy structure began six thousand years earlier. While outsiders may view the split as based solely on ability, Inner Court disciples are expected to undertake lethal inspection missions and may fail to graduate alive. 121 122

The academy expels students it deems dishonorable. Zhou Yi removes nine students for cheating during a physical exercise, arguing that strength without an upright heart would only bring disaster to the continent. 17

“Strength and responsibility stand equal; heart and kindness walk together!”
— Inner Court rule, as stated by Ma Xiaotao 122

History

Shrek Academy has stood for ten thousand years and is regarded as the continent’s foremost academy. Its earlier generation is described as having been far harsher and less structured; the modern academy developed a more formal Inner Court system and active role in safeguarding continental stability. 122 193

When Huo Yuhao enrolled, his Self-Created Soul Skill immediately drew the attention of Shrek’s titled powerhouses. Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo subsequently competed to recruit him into their respective departments. 12

Sea God’s Pavilion resolved the dispute by allowing Huo Yuhao to study both disciplines simultaneously. He became Shrek’s first documented dual-core disciple, cultivating in both the Martial Soul and Soul Guidance Departments. 103

Following an attack involving Dai Huabin’s death, Shrek publicly attributed the incident to an infiltrator who was killed by responding teachers. Political pressure from the Star Luo Empire was later settled through secret negotiations and compensation. 113

The academy’s Inner Court and reserve teams represented Shrek in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Arena Tournament. Despite entering with an inexperienced reserve lineup, the team advanced through the tournament and won the championship against the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. 128 174

On their return, the champions were honored at Sea God’s Pavilion—a privilege normally reserved for elders—and received three Soul Bones each. The academy also granted the team the lifelong title of Shrek Seven Monsters, though Huo Yuhao rejected the title. 188 189

Major Events

Shrek Inspection Corps

The academy dispatches Inner Court disciples as Shrek Inspectors to address vicious Soul Master crimes and tragedies that individual nations cannot resolve. These missions are explicitly dangerous, with the academy memorializing students who die in service. 121 122

Continental Tournament Championship

Shrek entered the tournament as the widely expected favorite and “number one academy on the continent.” Its reserve team initially overwhelmed Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy without a conventional fight, and the representative team ultimately defeated Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy in the final. 128 174

Body Sect Assault

Du Busi led the Body Sect in an attack on Shrek Academy to demand Huo Yuhao. Xuan Zi confronted him, while academy experts erected protective barriers against the clash between the two powerhouses. Mu En’s eventual intervention forced the Body Sect to withdraw. 193 194 195

Exchange Program with Mingde Hall

Mu En negotiated a three-year exchange program with Jing Hongchen and Mingde Hall, demanding a Ninth-Level Soul Tool as the price of admission to Sea God’s Pavilion. 197

The program concluded with Shrek and Sun Moon representatives exchanging students at Maple Leaf City. Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin’er personally attended the handover, reflecting Shrek’s investment in the arrangement. 315

Soul Tool Development

Huo Yuhao’s exchange-study work substantially accelerated Shrek’s Soul Guidance Department. He supplied 1,376 Soul Tool blueprints, which supported the department’s development, reduced research time, and saved resources. 317

• The academy’s contributions record was kept secret to protect Huo Yuhao. 317
• Sea God’s Pavilion approved Huo Yuhao’s membership based on his blueprints; he held standing comparable to, or above, Fan Yu despite not yet returning to the academy. 262
• Xian Lin’er assessed his work as advancing Shrek’s Soul Guidance Department by a thousand years. 315
• Shrek’s financial resources, control of Shrek City, merchant associations, and access to rare metals further support its Soul Tool research. 317

Relationships

• Star Luo Empire — Maintains a strategically important relationship with Shrek; the empire avoided open conflict after Dai Huabin’s death and later gave Shrek’s tournament team a formal send-off. 113 185
• Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy / Mingde Hall — Tournament rival and exchange-program partner; the institutions exchange students and Soul Tool knowledge despite continued distrust. 174 197 315
• Body Sect — Hostile faction that attempted to force Huo Yuhao’s transfer from Shrek. 193 194
• Holy Spirit Cult — Enemy faction that regards Shrek’s protection of Huo Yuhao, particularly Mu En’s presence, as a major obstacle. 145 195

Trivia

• Huo Yuhao received an Honorary Student statue in Shrek Square at age ten for resisting Evil Soul Masters and protecting others. 85
• The academy’s students are notably confident in its security; some openly claim that even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would have to “lie down” within Shrek. 86
• Shrek’s lifelong Shrek Seven Monsters title cannot be awarded to another group while even one of its current holders remains alive. 189
