Background / History

Mu En discovered the corpse of a Light White Dragon in an ancient ruin and acquired its Dragon Pill. Unable to absorb its violent energy directly, he carried and refined it with the power of his Radiant Holy Dragon for a century. At Level 98, he used the pill and Isotopic Resonance to form a second Soul Core, reaching Level 99. 57

After defeating Body Sect Master Du Busi, Mu En attempted to absorb the Dragon Pill while badly injured. Its hidden malevolence damaged his source, left him unable to stand upright, and caused the frail, aged condition he maintained thereafter. Despite this, he remained one of the continent's strongest combatants. 57

He found the destitute Su Qingfeng and accepted him as his sole disciple. Seeing Qingfeng's potential, Mu En created the Sea God Pavilion Saint Son position and installed him as its first holder. 1 2 4

As Qingfeng acquired extraordinary soul rings, Mu En convened Sea God Pavilion meetings to seek institutional support for his disciple's cultivation. He proposed securing soul rings of at least Hundred-Thousand-Year quality, ideally from the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, through persuasion and willing sacrifice rather than ordinary hunting. 57 58

Mu En repeatedly endangered himself to protect Qingfeng. He confronted the Snow Empress in the Far North, fought Long Xiaoyao when the latter attempted to claim Qingfeng as a disciple, and prepared to burn his source and sacrifice himself rather than surrender Qingfeng to Ye Xishui. 11 129 153

The source-burning battle worsened his condition drastically; after returning to Sea God Pavilion, he fell unconscious and required constant life-force treatment from Zhuang Lao and the other elders. 172 During Shrek Academy's later siege, he again prepared to die for the academy, but Qingfeng's intervention ended the crisis and enabled Mu En's recovery with the Reverse Dragon Pill. 225 230

Appearance

Mu En is usually depicted as a stooped, frail-looking old man who supports his waist and often rests in a chair. His apparent weakness contrasts sharply with his combat presence.

• Cannot normally stand fully upright because of the Dragon Pill's backlash. 57
• Carries the bearing of an aged, reclusive elder in ordinary circumstances. 7 39
• Becomes imposing in battle, manifesting the radiant form of the Radiant Holy Dragon. 11

Personality

Mu En is protective, affectionate, and openly indulgent toward Su Qingfeng, treating him more like a beloved grandson than a conventional disciple. He eagerly seeks Qingfeng's acknowledgment, personally accompanies him on soul-ring hunts, and prioritizes his safety even when facing powerful soul beasts. 5 9 40

He is also bold and pragmatic as a leader. Recognizing the limits of his own declining condition, he humbly asked the Sea God Pavilion elders to help cultivate Qingfeng and championed the unprecedented plan to build an all-Hundred-Thousand-Year soul-ring configuration. 57 58

Despite his gentler behavior around Qingfeng, Mu En is decisive and ruthless toward threats. He killed Soul Emperors and Soul Saints who tried to seize Qingfeng, confronted the Snow Empress without retreat, and was willing to sacrifice his life rather than hand his disciple over to the Holy Spirit Church. 5 11 153

Abilities & Skills

Radiant Holy Dragon Martial Soul

Mu En's martial soul is the Radiant Holy Dragon, a sacred white-and-gold dragon associated with powerful light-elemental abilities. 10 11

• Condenses ambient light into usable energy, including enough heat to cook food in the Far North. 10
• Provides immense offensive and defensive power; magma residue could not meaningfully damage its scales. 45
• Its manifestation accompanies Mu En's highest-level combat techniques. 11 44

Limit Douluo Strength

Mu En is a Level 99 Limit Douluo with nine soul rings: two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red. 11 57

• Defeated or captured the three-hundred-thousand-year Scarlet King. 44
• Was confident he could confront Hundred-Thousand-Year and Three-Hundred-Thousand-Year soul beasts to protect Qingfeng. 9
• His presence alone frightened the Evil Eye Tyrant Chief Sovereign into withdrawing rather than confronting three Limit Douluo. 153
• Fought Long Xiaoyao, another Level 99 Limit Douluo, in a battle that displayed both their power to the continent. 129 147

Rule the World

A technique that Mu En describes as exceeding an ordinary Soul Skill. It combines spiritual force with physical attacks. 44

• Can be applied to other Soul Skills. 44
• Breaks an opponent's confidence after penetrating their defenses, making future resistance psychologically difficult. 44
• Mu En considered passing it to Qingfeng, believing it could combine powerfully with the Immortal Realm, but ultimately chose not to teach it because he felt its kingly aura did not suit Qingfeng's temperament. 44 300

Golden Tree Communion

Mu En can communicate with the Golden Tree and mobilize part of its power, though he never truly tamed it. 57 275

• Relied on the Golden Tree's blessing as a refuge for Shrek Academy. 156
• Recognized that the Golden Tree's later acceptance of Su Qingfeng surpassed his own relationship with it. 275

Equipment / Items

• Dragon Pill — Light White Dragon essence refined within Mu En's body; helped him reach Level 99 but also caused his lasting injuries. 57
• Staff — Used while on Sea God Island; tapping it caused the island to tremble. 14
• Life Pill — A silver-white pill refined by Zhuang Lao, which Mu En gave Su Qingfeng after the Ice Empress's integration. 51

Relationships

• Su Qingfeng — Sole disciple and first Sea God Pavilion Saint Son. Mu En supports Qingfeng's cultivation without reservation and repeatedly risks his life for him; Qingfeng remains loyal to Mu En even when offered discipleship by Long Xiaoyao. 2 4 128 153
• Yan Shaozhe — Disciple and dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department. Yan Shaozhe addresses Mu En as teacher and assists with Qingfeng's training. 2 5
• Xian Lin'er — Former disciple and dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department. 9
• Zhang Lexuan — Previous disciple, whom Mu En compares unfavorably to Qingfeng because of his exceptional connection with the latter. 5
• Ma Xiaotao — Yan Shaozhe's disciple and Qingfeng's admirer. Mu En tolerates her involvement in Qingfeng's journeys while often teasing or scolding her. 7 40 51
• Huo Yuhao — Shrek student and Qingfeng's friend. Mu En aids his growth, offers him access to Far North soul beasts, and sees him as a potential pillar supporting Qingfeng and Shrek. 54 99
• Song Lao — Fellow Shrek powerhouse who accompanies Mu En and Qingfeng to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and assists in observing Qingfeng's growth. 66 71
• Xuan Zi / Xuan Lao — Old friend and Sea God Pavilion elder. Xuan Lao wanted Qingfeng as a disciple, but later supports Mu En and helps protect Qingfeng. 57 97
• Long Xiaoyao — Old friend and rival, the Dragon Emperor Douluo. They once fought over Ye Xishui and later clashed again over Qingfeng's discipleship. 129 225
• Ye Xishui — A figure from Mu En's past who uses that history to morally blackmail him into surrendering Qingfeng. 153
• Du Busi — Body Sect Master whom Mu En defeated, though the battle left Mu En badly injured and contributed to the Dragon Pill disaster. 57
