Background / History

Mu En is the Sea God Pavilion's master and is regarded as Shrek Academy's strongest figure of the past thousand years. Though outwardly an aged, approachable elder, he commands Shrek's highest authority and carries the legacy of the Radiant Holy Dragon martial soul. 3 84

He accepted Long Jinyu as a personal disciple after sensing a bloodline that surpassed Di Tian's and possibly even the Dragon Kings'. Mu En later admitted that his initial actions were calculated: he forced the apprenticeship, arranged Long Jinyu near Ma Xiaotao to exploit his ability to suppress her Evil Fire, and had even considered compelling his disciple's cooperation if necessary. 40

After Long Jinyu disclosed his identity as the young master of Nine-Colored Dragon Valley, Mu En pledged Shrek's protection and promised to help locate the scattered Nine Dragon God Guards and the Spirit of Dragon Valley. He placed Long Jinyu in the outer courtyard's seven-day theory course while arranging his residence at Phoenix Perch Pavilion on Sea God Island. 4 5

During the Holy Spirit Cult's bombing attack on Shrek City, Mu En coordinated the dismantling effort and personally treated Long Jinyu after the latter exhausted himself eliminating the final hidden threat. He subsequently ordered the academy to conceal Long Jinyu's involvement, expand the search for his lost “family,” and open the Sea God Pavilion Library to him without restriction. 40 43

Mu En later backed Long Jinyu and Xian Lin'er's proposal to reform Shrek's Soul Guidance Department, convening a Sea God Pavilion meeting and allocating support for the department after witnessing Cinderflame Dragon Might. 83 85

His failure to protect Long Jinyu during the Mingdou Mountain Range incident left him deeply remorseful. Even so, he defended his disciple against Di Tian's demand for custody and later accepted that Long Jinyu's family possessed power beyond Shrek's understanding. 104 129 155

Appearance

Mu En is an elderly man whose frail, unassuming appearance contrasts sharply with his standing and power.

• White hair and aged, withered hands. 3
• Often reclines in a rattan or wicker chair within Sea God Pavilion. 3 154
• Possesses clouded yet penetrating eyes that frequently betray his insight and resolve. 43 83
• His aura can remain entirely restrained even while the Sea God Pavilion itself trembles under his anger. 129

Personality

Mu En is gentle, observant, and extraordinarily perceptive. He recognizes both Long Jinyu's strengths and the unfairness of Shrek's early treatment of him, openly rebuking Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi for judging the youth with bias. 40

He is also pragmatic to the point of manipulation. His original plan to bind Long Jinyu to Shrek through Ma Xiaotao was driven by concern for Xiaotao's condition and Shrek's need for talent, but he later acknowledged the selfishness of that decision. 40 129

As an academy leader, Mu En can be decisive when lives are at risk. During the bombing crisis, he considered a dangerous multi-pronged strike on suspected locations when his perception could not identify the final threat. 43 He values innovation over tradition when it serves Shrek's future, supporting Soul Tool reform and encouraging Long Jinyu to cultivate both martial and Soul Tool paths. 83 85
