Background / History

Shrek Academy played a decisive role during the war against the invading Sun Moon Continent. When the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons failed to withstand the Sun Moon Continent’s Soul Tools, Shrek Academy mobilized all of its Titled Douluo, barely turned the tide, and lost one Titled Douluo on the battlefield 3.

After the war, the Sun Moon Continent became the Sun Moon Empire, while Shrek Academy became an independent entity no longer belonging to any empire 3. Its structure split clearly into the Outer Court and Inner Court, with each side taking on different missions 3.

By the current era, Shrek Academy carries a reputation heavy enough to pressure its own students. During the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, spectators loudly chant its name, while its reserve team repeatedly frames victory as a duty to defend the academy’s honor 46 53.
