Background / History

Mu En first observes Xuan Xiao during Shrek Academy enrollment while reclining near the freshman dormitories. Xuan Xiao casually shares a banana with him before intervening in Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's fight. Impressed by the twelve-year-old's Rank 39 cultivation and exceptionally dense Soul Power, Mu En begins investigating his background and Martial Soul. 2 3

Recognizing Xuan Xiao as a potential asset Shrek could not afford to lose, Mu En resists Yan Shaozhe's attempt to immediately claim him for the Martial Soul Department. Rather than force the student to stay, Mu En advises caution and negotiates directly with him. He agrees to provide a Soul Beast exceeding 40,000 years for Xuan Xiao's fourth Soul Ring in return for one year of service as an advisor to the Shrek Inspection Corps. 3 11 12

After the evidence of Zhou Yi's abusive teaching practices is presented, Mu En holds Yan Shaozhe accountable for departmental mismanagement. He strips Zhou Yi of her cultivation, orders her permanent imprisonment in Shrek's dungeon, and mandates full compensation for the victims. 19

Mu En repeatedly attempts to assess or contain Xuan Xiao's growing threat. He orders Beibei and Xu Sanshi to fight at full strength against him, later intervenes to block Xuan Xiao's potentially fatal attack on Ma Xiaotao, and disciplines Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe after their actions in the Far North cost Shrek a 180,000-year torso bone. 14 34 35

During the crisis caused by the evil soul master's attack on Shrek, Mu En pursues the enemy despite his weakened body. Unable to remove the death energy infecting Yan Shaozhe, Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong without crippling them, he seeks Hurricane Giant Tower's help and agrees to surrender the Angel God Statue beneath Sea God's Pavilion. 79 80 81

After Electrolux saves the afflicted disciples and removes the statue, Mu En directs Shrek to train at Hurricane Giant Tower's Virtual Training Room. His experiences with the tower, Soul Spirits, and its virtual guardians convince him that Shrek must prepare for changes that could reshape the continent. 71 82

Shrek's later tournament and auction failures force Mu En into increasingly desperate decisions. He commits Shrek's resources to acquiring combat-enhancing treasures, is manipulated into inflated purchases, and eventually surrenders a hidden Dragon Pill to Xuan Xiao under pressure. 129 133 138 150

When Ma Xiaotao's mutated Ultimate Fire can no longer be contained, Mu En faces Long Xiaoyao despite his failing health. He ultimately permits Ma Xiaotao to leave with the Holy Spirit Cult, securing Long Xiaoyao's promise of a full set of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones and the remaining eight Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings for Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul. 168

Following Shrek's decline, Mu En abandons the academy's former contempt for Soul Tools. He orders Yan Shaozhe to seek an exchange-student arrangement with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy and urges Huo Yuhao to study Soul Tools as part of Shrek's only viable path forward. 178 179

Appearance

Mu En is an elderly man who initially conceals his standing behind an unremarkable appearance. He is often seen resting on an old reclining chair, but later relies on a cane and shows the physical strain of his accumulated injuries. 2 43

• Plain gray clothing during his first appearance. 2
• Elderly, weathered appearance; described as having lived for more than two centuries. 11
• Uses a cane while confronting Xuan Xiao at Shrek. 43
• His physical condition is severely weakened after injuries sustained at Hurricane Giant Tower. 79 168

Personality

Mu En is patient, observant, and politically cautious. He recognizes Xuan Xiao's value immediately, understands that coercion would be counterproductive, and instead tries to bind him to Shrek through negotiated obligations and resources. 2 3 12

He is capable of self-criticism and institutional accountability. Xuan Xiao's condemnation of Shrek's leadership causes him to reflect rather than retaliate, while Zhou Yi's case shows his willingness to impose severe punishment on those who damage the academy and its students. 11 19

Mu En is deeply protective of Shrek's future generation, particularly Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao. His choices during the Angel God Statue crisis and his later bargain with Long Xiaoyao prioritize their survival and future potential over Shrek's treasures, territory, and pride. 80 81 168

His later actions are increasingly shaped by desperation. Shrek's weakening position, financial losses, and the rise of Hurricane Giant Tower push him toward risky auctions, harsh demands, and a pragmatic acceptance that Shrek must adopt Soul Tool technology to survive. 129 133 178

Abilities & Skills

Limit Douluo Cultivation

Mu En is a Rank 99 Limit Douluo who has remained stagnant at that rank for years. The revelation that Rank 99 demigods can stand at the threshold of godhood causes him to confront the limits of his own progress. 62

• Possesses nine Soul Rings: two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red Hundred-Thousand-Year rings. 168
• Can use spatial power for short-range teleportation and rapid movement. 80
• His injuries and age significantly restrict his ability to sustain high-intensity combat. 79 168
• He cannot safely use Void Mystic Ice's amplification because his body may collapse under the resulting power surge. 168

Radiant Saint Dragon Martial Soul

Mu En's Martial Soul manifests as the Radiant Saint Dragon, producing brilliant golden light and a powerful dragon phantom. 168

• His light-attribute Soul Power can suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire temporarily. 167 168
• The suppression becomes progressively less effective as Ma Xiaotao's evil fire mutates into Ultimate Fire. 168
• The Light Dragon's Dragon Pill within him reacts to the Icefire Dragon Pill offered at auction. 141

Academy Leadership

Mu En leads Shrek Academy and Sea God's Pavilion through crises, disciplinary matters, negotiations, and strategic planning.

• Ordered Zhou Yi's cultivation crippled and her permanent imprisonment after confirming the harm caused by her teaching. 19
• Ordered Shrek to monitor Hurricane Giant Tower and purchase rare-bloodline Soul Spirits as soon as they became available. 71
• Directed Shrek's members toward Virtual Training Room training after the destruction of Sea God's Pavilion. 82

Equipment / Items

• Cane — Used for support during his physically weakened later appearances. 43
• Void Mystic Ice — Possesses at least one piece, though his body cannot safely bear its power amplification. 168
• Dragon Pill — A concealed dragon treasure he intended to leave to Huo Yuhao or Beibei to stabilize their bloodlines; later surrendered to Xuan Xiao. 150

Relationships

• Huo Yuhao — Direct disciple. Mu En accepts him after being moved by his sincere declaration that Shrek is his home, then places great expectations on his future. 71
• Yan Shaozhe — Disciple and senior Shrek administrator. Mu En frequently reprimands him for his management failures but entrusts him with major tasks, including monitoring Hurricane Giant Tower and negotiating with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy. 19 71 178 179
• Xuan Xiao — Initially a coveted Shrek prodigy whom Mu En tries to retain through negotiation; their relationship deteriorates as Xuan Xiao repeatedly exploits Shrek's weaknesses and openly humiliates him. 11 12 43 150
• Xuan Zi — Shrek elder whose impulsiveness repeatedly forces Mu En to intervene, discipline him, or prevent him from provoking stronger forces. 35 97 128
• Ma Xiaotao — Granddisciple whose evil fire Mu En attempts to suppress and treat. He ultimately allows Long Xiaoyao to take her away in exchange for resources intended to secure Huo Yuhao's future. 80 168
• Long Xiaoyao — Old acquaintance addressed as “Brother Mu.” Despite their opposing positions, they negotiate Ma Xiaotao's transfer with mutual recognition of each other's resolve. 167 168
• Electrolux — Powerful ally of Hurricane Giant Tower with whom Mu En bargains for the rescue of Shrek's infected disciples. 81 82

Trivia
