Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Limit Douluo — Rank 99	4 149	In his youth, the Radiant Dragon Core helped Mu En break through and rapidly reach the continent’s peak. Its residual baleful energy later caused the bodily decay that left him near death.

Background / History

In his youth, Mu En discovered the Radiant Dragon Core in a hidden ancient ruin. Absorbing its immense power allowed him to break through to the rank of Limit Douluo, but the artifact’s accumulated baleful energy damaged his foundation and gradually decayed his body. Over time, the Golden Tree purified the core’s harmful energy, though Mu En’s condition could not be reversed. 149

As Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En became Shrek Academy’s central stabilizing figure. He viewed the academy’s future pragmatically, recognizing both the looming superiority of Sun Moon Empire soul-guidance technology and Shrek’s internal stagnation. 16 152

When Xiao Yan arrived at Shrek, Mu En sensed an unusual harmony between the eleven-year-old and the world around him. Rather than judging Xiao Yan solely by his rank, he recognized the youth’s “Dao” and potential, then personally gave him a Sea God Pavilion token. 4

Appearance

Mu En was an extremely aged, frail man whose body had been eroded by the backlash of the Radiant Dragon Core. He commonly rested in a wooden or wicker recliner within Sea God Pavilion. 63 149

• Hunched posture and shriveled skin marked by age spots. 63 152
• Cloudy, dim eyes that could become piercingly sharp when exerting authority. 4 152
• Often suffered ragged breathing and violent coughing fits due to his deteriorating body. 147 149
• Retained overwhelming pressure and majesty despite his outwardly near-death appearance. 4 152

Personality

Mu En was perceptive and measured. He assessed people by their temperament, presence, and long-term potential rather than superficial cultivation levels; this was why he immediately treated Xiao Yan with respect despite his age. 4

He upheld Shrek Academy’s honor but was not blindly loyal to its traditions. He condemned Xuan Zi’s attempt to suppress and assassinate Xiao Yan, considering such conduct no different from the disgraced Spirit Hall’s treatment of dissidents. 63

In his final days, Mu En showed clear-eyed pragmatism. He accepted that Shrek could not survive by clinging to old glory, protected his great-grandson from burdens he could not bear, and restructured the academy for a changing continent. 149 152

Abilities & Skills

Radiant Sacred Dragon Soul Power

Mu En possessed the Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul and stood as a Rank 99 Limit Douluo. His light-aligned Soul Power could be released with overwhelming force despite his weakened body. 4 28

• Manifested light power as tangible golden chains to strip, compress, and seal Ma Xiaotao’s berserk Evil Fire. 28
• Produced solid golden barriers capable of isolating the Sea God Pavilion from outside interference. 29 30
• Could exert enough pressure through a mere gesture to stop Du Weilun from bowing. 4
• Used the Golden Tree’s roots to send a highest-level summons to every Sea God Pavilion Elder. 152

Leadership and Strategic Judgment

Mu En held decisive authority over Sea God Pavilion and retained the ability to command its Elders even while dying. 63 152

• Identified Xiao Yan as a potential god-level existence and understood the danger of turning him into Shrek’s enemy. 63
• Reprimanded Yan Shaozhe for allowing personal feelings to compromise his judgment as an academy leader. 30
• Ordered Xuan Zi to apologize to Xiao Yan and provide the Time Sundial Needle as compensation. 63
• Appointed Zhang Lexuan as his successor, with Elder Lin as deputy Pavilion Master. 152
• Reallocated academy resources: 60% to the Spirit Guidance Department and 40% to the Spirit Soul Department. 152
• Ordered Shrek to remain neutral in the coming continental war and recall its outside forces. 152

Items Bestowed

• Sea God Pavilion token — Given to Xiao Yan, allowing him to seek Mu En’s aid or counsel in the future. 4
• Taixu Sound-Suppressing Hou right arm bone — A 300,000-year fierce-beast soul bone offered as additional compensation for treating Ma Xiaotao; Mu En later guarded Xiao Yan during its absorption. 28 30
• Time Sundial Needle — A time-attribute External Eye Bone entrusted to Xuan Zi as an apology gift for Xiao Yan. 63
• Radiant Dragon Core — Mu En’s former breakthrough treasure, cleansed of its baleful energy and gifted to Xiao Yan rather than his great-grandson Bei Bei. 149

Relationships

• Xiao Yan — Initially recognized Xiao Yan’s exceptional potential and gave him access to Sea God Pavilion. Their relationship grew into mutual respect; Mu En protected him, offered him the Pavilion Master position, and ultimately accepted his help in preserving his soul. 4 30 148 151
• Electrolux — Mu En became Electrolux’s apprentice through a soul contract, gaining a path to preserve his soul and potentially ascend with him to the God Realm. 151
• Yan Shaozhe — Teacher and disciple. Mu En repeatedly criticized Yan Shaozhe’s emotional bias and lack of composure in crises. 30
• Xuan Zi — His junior brother and a Sea God Pavilion Elder. Mu En condemned Xuan Zi’s hostility toward Xiao Yan and later accepted that Xuan Zi’s death resulted from his own actions. 63 68 148
• Zhang Lexuan — Chosen successor as Sea God Pavilion Master. Mu En entrusted her with leading Shrek after his apparent death. 150 152
• Bei Bei — Mu En’s great-grandson. Mu En refused to give him the Radiant Dragon Core, believing it would burden him with an impossible expectation to rival Xiao Yan and revive Shrek. 149
• Ma Xiaotao — Mu En temporarily sealed her berserk Evil Fire and arranged Xiao Yan’s reward for purifying it. 28 30

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recognition of Xiao Yan

Mu En met Xiao Yan shortly after his arrival at Shrek Academy. He recognized the youth’s extraordinary harmony with nature and gave him a Sea God Pavilion token, offering future guidance despite admitting that Xiao Yan’s zither path was beyond his ability to teach. 4

Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire Crisis

When Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire threatened to corrupt her into an Evil Soul Master, Mu En suppressed it with Radiant Sacred Dragon power and negotiated with Xiao Yan for treatment. He offered the Taixu Sound-Suppressing Hou soul bone and personally guarded Xiao Yan’s absorption of it after Ma Xiaotao was healed. 28 30

Conflict Over Xuan Zi

After Xuan Zi orchestrated an unfair assessment against Xiao Yan, Mu En furiously reprimanded him. He ordered Xuan Zi to deliver the Time Sundial Needle as an apology and rejected the suggestion that Shrek assassinate Xiao Yan to remove a future threat. 63

When Xiao Yan later confirmed that Xuan Zi had died after attempting to kill him, Mu En regarded the death as Xuan Zi’s own fate. He acknowledged that even a Rank 98 Super Douluo could not survive after provoking the Snow Empress. 148

Final Reforms of Shrek Academy

As his body neared its end, Mu En offered Xiao Yan control of Shrek through the Sea God Pavilion Master position. Xiao Yan declined, declaring Shrek too small for his ambition to unify the continent and establish his own divine throne. Mu En accepted this reality and gave Xiao Yan the Radiant Dragon Core. 148 149

Mu En then convened Sea God Pavilion’s Elders, named Zhang Lexuan as successor, redirected resources toward soul-guidance development, and ordered Shrek’s neutrality in the coming war. 152

Apprenticeship and Departure

Xiao Yan revealed that Mu En’s body could not be repaired but that his soul could survive through a contract. Mu En eagerly became Electrolux’s apprentice, binding his soul to the future Mage God. 151

After completing his final arrangements, Mu En allowed his physical body to crumble into light. Xiao Yan secretly transferred his soul to Electrolux’s Undead Demiplane, where Mu En intended to assist with research into the Laws of Light. 152 153
