Background / History
Mu En joined Shrek through his sect rather than through ordinary freshman registration. By the time Tang Wulin arrives, he has become the forty-third master of the Sea God Pavilion and the teacher of academy dean Yan Shaozhe 4 13.
An old injury makes walking difficult, while violent energy within his Dragon Core has left his body extensively damaged. He lives in the Sea God Pavilion and frequently rests in a reclining chair. Before his rejuvenation, he has only a dozen or so years of life remaining 1 2 4.
Appearance
Mu En’s appearance changes dramatically after receiving Life Divine Power 1 2.
- Before restoration: Deeply wrinkled face, clouded eyes, white hair, and a spine bent almost ninety degrees. He appears extremely frail despite his cultivation rank 1 2.
- After restoration: Black hair, restored skin color, and a straight back. Tang Wulin sees him as a middle-aged man and initially struggles to recognize him 2.
- Habitual posture: Continues reclining at leisure after recovering, including at the freshman dormitory entrance 2 15.
Personality
Mu En initially helps Tang Wulin without knowing his parentage or potential. He offers shelter, promises to search for the boy’s parents, listens without interrupting, and asks to be called “Elder Mu” rather than “Your Excellency.” His concern remains practical: he provides food, education, cultivation support, and opportunities to rest 1 7 9 11.
His compassion coexists with institutional calculation. When Tang Wulin consumes half the Golden Ancient Tree’s stored power, Mu En briefly weighs killing or sparing him in terms of preserving the remaining energy. After benefiting from the divine intervention, he considers the connection to the Divine Realm worth the loss. He also conceals private schemes concerning Shrek when Tang San appears, fearing divine scrutiny 2 4.
As a leader, Mu En is strict about impulsiveness but protective of Tang Wulin’s independence. He increases Yan Shaozhe’s disciplinary seclusion when the dean protests, stops Xuan Zi from deciding Wulin’s cultivation path prematurely, and lets Wulin judge whether to meet his uncles privately. His authority does not prevent occasional oversights: he initially misses Wulin’s hunger and forgets the recommendation letter required for enrollment 5 7 8 11 13.

Spiritual Perception and Communication
- His Limit Douluo instincts initially indicate that the green energy entering Tang Wulin will not harm the child, although he does not anticipate its enormous drain on the Golden Ancient Tree 2.
- Recognizes divine power during his healing and Tang San’s manifestation 2 4.
- Privately transmits lines to Wulin during the boy’s formal introduction to Shrek’s elders 8.

- Tang San’s blue bead — A temporary entrusted token, passed to Yan Shaozhe for delivery to the Clear Sky Sect 8.
- Reclining chair — His customary resting place in the Sea God Pavilion and later at the dormitory entrance 1 15.
Relationships
- Tang Wulin — Initially a displaced child he shelters, later his principal charge under Tang San’s instructions. Mu En feels indebted to Wulin for restoring his life; Wulin insists that they retain familiar forms of address despite his divine parentage 1 4 9.
- Tang San — Revered as Shrek’s ancestor and the Sea God. Mu En accepts his orders to protect Wulin, gather Spirit Treasures, and contact the Clear Sky Sect 4 5 8.
- Yan Shaozhe — His student and Shrek Academy’s dean. Mu En disciplines his rash attack on the island barrier and later entrusts him with the Clear Sky Sect mission 4 5 8.
- Xuan Zi — A senior Shrek figure whose impatience Mu En criticizes. Mu En restrains his eagerness to choose and hunt a Soul Beast for Wulin 5 8.
- Gong Changlong — Provides the Lightning Rabbit from the Beast Pen at Mu En’s request 9.
- Niu Tian and Tai Tan — Fellow protectors of Tang Wulin. Mu En initially hesitates to leave Wulin alone with them, then cooperates with their protection and dormitory arrangements 11 13 14 15.
- Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao — Wulin’s sworn siblings. Mu En assigns neighboring dormitory rooms to support their closeness and later attends Wulin and Yuhao’s fusion experiment 15 21 22.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Sheltering Tang Wulin
Mu En finds Tang Wulin grieving on Sea God Island and takes him to the Sea God Pavilion. He cannot identify the Federation, its police, or Aolai City despite searching his two hundred years of memories, leaving the boy’s origins unexplained 1.
Rejuvenation and the Sea God’s Instructions
Life Divine Power heals Mu En while strengthening Wulin. Tang San subsequently manifests, identifies Wulin as his son, and places responsibility for the child’s everyday protection and growth on Shrek. Mu En mobilizes the academy’s Titled Douluo; they collect the required Spirit Treasures within an hour 2 4 5.
Early Cultivation and Enrollment
Mu En guards Wulin through the release of his sealed power, introduces him to Shrek’s senior leadership, and sends Yan Shaozhe to summon the Clear Sky Sect’s representatives. He then oversees Wulin’s first Soul Ring and educational preparations 6 7 8 9.
A month later, he escorts Wulin to registration but forgets the Main City Recommendation Letter requirement. Bei Bei’s offer to vouch for Wulin resolves the obstacle. Mu En subsequently uses his pavilion-master authority to arrange neighboring dormitory rooms for Wulin and his sworn siblings 13 14 15.
Martial Soul Fusion Experiments
Mu En joins Niu Tian and Tai Tan when Wulin and Huo Yuhao undergo their first prolonged fusion, reassuring the others that the pair should be safe. He remains present when they awaken and later watches their fusion technique test against Tai Tan from the sidelines 21 22 23.
