Background / History

Shrek Academy endured for ten thousand years and became the most prestigious Soul Master academy on the continent. Its teaching, powerful faculty, cultivated talents, rare treasures, Golden Tree, and extensive network of graduates established it as a sacred destination for Soul Masters. 8 52

Its influence extended beyond education. Four thousand years earlier, a call from the Sea God Pavilion Master reportedly gathered nearly one hundred Titled Douluo during the war against the Sun Moon Empire. This transnational mobilizing power became a lasting source of concern for the three great empires. 52 350

Shrek Academy operated from Shrek City, a prosperous autonomous city-state near the borders of the Heavenly Soul, Star Luo, and Heaven Spirit Empires. The city guarded the entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest and had a permanent population of roughly five million. 105 350

During the beast tide led by the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, Shrek Academy defended Shrek City at immense cost. Its surviving powerhouses ultimately failed to prevent the Star of Destruction from striking the city, annihilating the academy, its defenses, the Golden Ancient Tree, and much of the surrounding area. 332 339 348 350

Shrek survivors were later offered refuge in Haiyuan City. Zhang Lexuan proposed rebuilding the academy there, and Haiyuan City committed land and technical support toward a new Shrek Academy. 383 384 423

Admissions and Student Body

Shrek's admissions standards are exceptionally restrictive:

• Applicants require extraordinary talent and recommendation letters from city lords of major imperial capitals merely to register. 8
• Commoners rarely gain entry, since Martial Soul awakening itself can be financially prohibitive and obtaining influential recommendations is difficult. 8
• City lords may instead recruit talented commoners for themselves rather than recommend them to Shrek. 8
• Outer Court students are generally elites from wealthy or powerful backgrounds, making the academy a major upper-class social network. 8
• Noble families often value Shrek primarily for connections, influence, and possible Inner Court access rather than basic instruction. 8
• The three great empires generally forbid core royal-family members from enrolling, fearing Shrek's influence over future imperial leadership. 52 350

Influence and Reputation

• Shrek held the championship throne in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition for over two thousand editions across ten thousand years. 50
• Its long championship dominance gave it an intensely devoted public following; competition crowds greeted the academy with overwhelming chants of “Shrek.” 50
• Saint Freya Academy ended Shrek's championship streak by defeating its team and winning the tournament. 54
• Shrek later forfeited remaining matches in another competition after suffering major losses, allowing Saint Freya Academy to win again. 154
• Despite these defeats, its Inner Court, Sea God Pavilion, Titled Douluo, and historic prestige remained formidable enough that most factions avoided openly opposing it. 29 128 159

Facilities and Resources

Golden Tree

The Golden Tree was Shrek Academy's most important resource and a planar treasure with immense life energy. Sea God Pavilion Masters historically integrated their cultivation and souls into it at the ends of their lives. 29

• The tree provided cultivation opportunities and life essence capable of supporting healing and physical restoration. 29 154
• Shrek granted Haiyuan City two Golden Tree cultivation slots in exchange for assistance with Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire and cooperation over the Simulated Universe. 29
• The academy later declined to use its life essence to regenerate the lost limbs of Gongyang Mo and Chen Zifeng. 158
• Mu En drew upon the tree's life energy to restore himself temporarily to peak condition against the Snow Empress. 162
• The Golden Ancient Tree was destroyed when the Star of Destruction annihilated Shrek City. 348 350

Sea God Pavilion

The Sea God Pavilion served as Shrek Academy's highest authority and housed its leading powerhouses. Its Masters historically included individuals with ultimate attributes, whose strength helped build Shrek's prosperity. 29

• Mu En was the academy's senior authority and Yan Shaozhe's teacher. 52 158
• Xuanzi was the Sea God Pavilion's second-in-command and later its Pavilion Master. 76 353
• The Pavilion's elders debated whether to surrender Huo Yuhao to the Snow Empress after Mu En's fall, ultimately placing the academy and city’s survival above one student. 165
• Xuanzi's death left Shrek Academy without its last surviving Level 98 Super Douluo. 422

Treasure Gathering Pavilion

Shrek Academy operated the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Shrek City, a coveted treasure exchange venue containing rare Soul Treasures. 105

• Outer Court core disciples could use their status to exchange for valuable items, including Wang Dong's Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone. 105
