Background / History

In his youth, Mu En was a rival of Long Xiaoyao. The two repeatedly fought to a draw before becoming lifelong friends, and both developed unrequited feelings for Ye Xishui. Long Xiaoyao later promised to protect Shrek Academy for ten years after Mu En's death 239.

Mu En fought the former Body Sect master, Body Douluo Du Bisi, when both were Rank 98 Super Douluo. Though Du Bisi later died from his wounds, Mu En sustained a crippling waist injury that permanently left him unable to straighten his back; he nevertheless later reached Rank 99 100.

As Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En led Shrek Academy while largely remaining in the pavilion. He had not accepted a disciple for nearly a century before recognizing Zhu Ziyang's potential and taking him as his final and most valued disciple 71 73. He personally cleansed Zhu Ziyang's marrow, opened auxiliary meridians and hidden acupoints, and discovered the youth's second, Ultimate Ice Martial Soul 72.

Mu En invested heavily in Zhu Ziyang's growth. He taught him the foundation of King's Descent, provided cultivation methods and rare resources, arranged his sixth soul ring from the Illusory Sky Purple Spirit Dragon, and gave him a Light-Type White Dragon's Dragon Core that Mu En had preserved since his youth 95 96 174 175.

In his final years, Mu En pushed Shrek Academy toward institutional reform. He supported the Soul Tool Department, endorsed the Soul Spirit system, and worked with Zhu Ziyang on plans to secure the academy's future influence, including placing Zhang Lexuan on the Sun Moon Empire's throne 197 243 251.

An entity claiming to be the Sea God drew Mu En's soul into a blue space and ordered him to kill Zhu Ziyang as an alleged Evil God inheritor. Mu En refused to act without evidence, escaped the encounter injured, and declined rapidly afterward 248 250.

Before his death, Mu En named Xuan Zi acting Pavilion Master and Zhu Ziyang his eventual successor. He then transformed into a radiant white dragon and merged with the Golden Ancient Tree, releasing a golden phenomenon that benefited the cultivators on Heavenly Origin Island 256 257. Zhu Ziyang formally succeeded to the renamed Heavenly Origin Pavilion Master position at age nineteen 315.

Appearance

Mu En usually appeared as a frail, hunched elderly man reclining in a wooden chair or rocking chair. His severe waist injury prevented him from standing straight, and he was often described with aged features and clouded eyes 72 100.

Personality

Mu En is warm and grandfatherly toward students he values, particularly Zhu Ziyang. He openly praises exceptional talent, provides resources without hesitation, and treats his disciples' futures as central to Shrek Academy's survival 72 135 239.

Despite his kindness, he is demanding and politically shrewd. He reprimands recklessness, teaches Zhu Ziyang to understand power and interests, and is willing to make difficult long-term decisions for the academy's security and independence 117 148 251.

He is also notably stubborn in matters of trust. Even when confronted by a self-proclaimed god, Mu En refused to turn against Zhu Ziyang without proof 248.
