|---|---|
| Peak cultivation | Reached Rank 99 as the Dragon God Douluo, becoming Shrek Academy's principal stabilizing force and one of the continent's foremost Limit Douluo. 10 272 |

Appearance
Mu En initially appeared as a frail, gray-haired old man with a hunched body, often resting on a worn recliner outside Shrek Academy's Outer Court dormitories. Despite his ordinary and decrepit appearance, he was the Dragon God Douluo and Shrek Academy's true pillar. 10
His old injuries eventually confined him to a wheelchair. Near his death, he became severely emaciated, with a pallid complexion, sunken cheeks, and clouded eyes, though he continued to maintain an upright bearing. 43 272
Following his death, Mu En's body regained a youthful appearance before transforming into a snow-white dragon and merging with the Golden Ancient Tree. 275
Personality
Mu En was composed, humble, and deeply responsible toward Shrek Academy. Although he held the highest authority in the Sea God Pavilion, he willingly lowered his stance to apologize to the airborne Shrek Academy for the reckless conduct of Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo. 42 45
He valued lives and the academy's long-term future above wealth or pride. When confronted with the exorbitant ransom demanded for the detained Shrek elders, he accepted the loss of resources because he considered living Title Douluo more valuable than stored treasures. 47
Mu En was also protective of Shrek's younger generation, particularly Bei Bei, Zhang Lexuan, and Ling Luochen. The revelation that Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen had been sent undercover to the airborne academy without his authorization enraged him so severely that his suppressed injuries erupted. 171 172
Abilities
Soul Master Abilities
- Mu En possessed the Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul and had reached Rank 99, placing him among the continent's Limit Douluo. 10 272
- Even while severely injured, he retained the perception of a peak expert and recognized Bei Xin as an existence comparable to himself. 43
- He could draw upon the Golden Ancient Tree's power, ultimately using it to evolve Bei Bei's martial soul and strengthen his successor. 274
- After his death, his transformation and fusion with the Golden Ancient Tree dramatically increased the tree's life energy. 275
Dragon Core
Mu En possessed a Dragon Core obtained from the remains of an ancient light-attribute giant dragon. The core contained immense energy; Mu En was initially harmed by its overbearing power, but he refined and nurtured it within his body for more than a century until it became gentle enough for use. 273
He entrusted the Dragon Core to Long Xiaoyao for Bei Bei. Mu En believed it could purify Bei Bei's body, elevate his bloodline, strengthen his bones, and prepare him to withstand the power required to reach the Limit Douluo realm. 273
History
Discovery of the Airborne Shrek Academy
Bei Bei and Tang Ya reported the existence of another academy named Shrek Academy, located high above the Star Dou Forest, to Mu En. Mu En was initially skeptical, but became alarmed after learning that Bei Bei—a three-ring Soul Elder and one of the Outer Court Twin Stars—had been overwhelmingly defeated by Ye Xinglan, a two-ring Soul Grand Master who had attained Unity of Man and Sword. 10
Mu En correctly judged that an academy capable of cultivating such a prodigy could not be treated as an ordinary faction. He was particularly concerned that Xuan Zi's temper and attachment to Shrek Academy's reputation would lead him to provoke the unknown force. 10
First Negotiation
After Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo were detained by the airborne Shrek Academy, Mu En personally traveled there with Bei Bei and Elder Lin. He introduced himself as the Sea God Pavilion Master, apologized for his academy's misconduct, and sought to peacefully resolve the situation. 40 42
The visit forced Mu En to recognize the immense gap between the two academies. Bei Xin, a Rank 99 Limit Douluo at the height of his vitality, was merely handling reception and negotiations, while the airborne academy's guards were themselves Title Douluo. 43
Mu En ultimately agreed to pay 100 million Gold Soul Coins, ten ten-thousand-year spirit bones, and one-quarter of Shrek Academy's medicinal inventory to redeem the detained elders. 46 47
During the visit, Mu En crossed paths with Huo Yuhao and experienced an inexplicable sense that Shrek Academy had lost something immensely precious. 54
Conflict over the Undercover Mission
While Mu En was recovering from the academy's earlier crisis, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo secretly sent Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen into the airborne Shrek Academy to obtain its technology. Their disappearance for three months was concealed from Mu En. 171
Upon learning the truth, Mu En was enraged by their recklessness and the danger imposed on the two Inner Court students. His condition deteriorated sharply, and he ordered those responsible to be confined. 172 173
Xuan Zi's proposal to falsely label the airborne academy as Evil Soul Masters and provoke a wider conflict further devastated Mu En, causing him to faint from fury. 173 174
Awakening and Final Arrangements
Mu En remained unconscious for five months while Shrek Academy suffered a devastating decline. When he awakened, his first concern was the academy's condition; Bei Bei informed him that its combat strength had been defeated, its treasury emptied, and its reputation ruined. 246 247 248
Knowing that he had only months to live, Mu En encouraged Bei Bei not to blame himself for Shrek Academy's failures and instructed him to cultivate with peace of mind. 272
Mu En then summoned his old friend Long Xiaoyao and entrusted him with the Dragon Core for Bei Bei rather than leaving it within the Sea God Pavilion. 272 273
Death and Succession
At the Golden Ancient Tree, Mu En used his remaining life force to evolve Bei Bei's martial soul into the Blue Lightning Radiant Tyrant Dragon. He transferred his knowledge and spirit bones to Bei Bei, designated him as the next Sea God Pavilion Master, and issued final instructions to the Sea God Pavilion elders. 274
Mu En subsequently died and merged with the Golden Ancient Tree in the form of a white dragon, leaving behind a dense aura of light and life that benefited Sea God Island. 275
