Appearance

Mu En is an elderly man with a withered appearance and an otherwise ordinary-looking face. His unassuming appearance sharply contrasts with the overwhelming pressure of his soul power. 39

• Elderly, with a withered look. 39
• Usually presents himself with a gentle smile and mild tone. 39 42
• Can project palpable killing intent and overwhelming pressure when angered or challenged. 40

Personality

Mu En is composed, politically aware, and willing to negotiate when direct confrontation could endanger Shrek Academy. After the Sun Moon Empire mobilizes against him, he abandons his attempt to take Xu Tianming by force and offers increasingly substantial concessions to secure the youth's enrollment. 41 42 46

He values exceptional talent highly and considers Xu Tianming's growth in the Sun Moon Empire a potential threat to continental peace. This conviction leads him to pressure Xu Tianming into coming to Shrek before eventually adopting a more conciliatory approach. 40 42

Despite his generally gentle manner, Mu En can be domineering. He restrains Xu Tianming with soul power, considers forcibly taking him away, and initially justifies the act as an invitation. 40 42 He is also harsh toward disciples whose actions jeopardize Shrek Academy's reputation, physically reprimanding Yan Shaozhe and stripping him of his position as dean of the Martial Soul Academy. 52 53

Story Role / Major Arcs
