Background / History

Shrek Academy is regarded as the continent's foremost soul master academy and a “sacred ground” for soul masters. Located in eastern Shrek City, it faces the Star Dou Great Forest from afar and draws applicants from across the continent. Local cities issue recommendation letters, but every applicant must still meet the academy's Soul Power, bone-age, and combat-assessment requirements. 18 26 29 190

The academy was founded upon the legacy of the Sea God Tang San and the other original Shrek Seven Devils, who ascended to godhood. Their achievements established Shrek's long-standing prestige; successive Extreme Attribute Douluo further reinforced its position. 33 45

Although institutionally neutral and populated by students from multiple nations, Shrek functions as a major continental power. Its graduates are influential enough that the Three Great Empires remain wary of their political prominence. 39 40

Under Mu En, Shrek commits to the God-Making Plan: the academy will provide resources, support, and protection to Huo Yuhao and Lin You in exchange for Huo Yuhao's future protection of Shrek after attaining godhood. 33 53 58

The academy later abandons strict neutrality in response to the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church's threat, coordinating with other powers and directly intervening in continental affairs. 151 299 474
