Dai Mubai

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Dai Mubai is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. His childhood betrothal to Zhu Zhuqing forms part of the alliance between the White Tiger imperial family and the Zhu Family’s Hell Spirit Cat lineage. Zhu Zhuqing is taught that their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is essential to surviving the families’ succession struggle 10 19.

Under pressure from his elder brother Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai leaves the Star Luo Empire alone for the Balak Kingdom, abandoning Zhu Zhuqing to family infighting and assassination attempts. By his confrontation with Chu Yuan, he has spent two years asserting himself in Suotuo City as the “Evil-Eyed White Tiger” 11 19.

He becomes a Shrek Academy student and assists with admissions, including escorting Tang San and Xiao Wu to the fourth examination. Despite his later claims that he has been preparing diligently for the family assessment, Zhu Zhuqing finds him pursuing women at the Rose Hotel 10 25 28.

Appearance

• Blond hair and double pupils distinguish his human appearance 10 30.
• Large hands and a muscular transformation accompany his close-range fighting style 11 30.
• White Tiger Possession enlarges his muscles, produces a “king” marking on his forehead, and transforms his hands into sharp tiger claws 30.

Personality

Dai Mubai is arrogant and accustomed to intimidating others through his rank. At the Rose Hotel, he dismisses Chu Yuan as an ordinary wealthy youth, demands both his room card and Keqing, and attacks with the intention of crushing his shoulder. His womanizing continues after his defeat: Mona’s water mirror shows him drinking with courtesans while promising revenge once he reaches a higher realm 11 19.

He treats his engagement as an entitlement rather than a mutual commitment. Although he abandons Zhu Zhuqing, he considers her both his destined possession and a tool for his future struggle for the throne. Her rejection provokes jealousy, public accusations, and threats to injure and imprison her 26 28 30.

His aggression weakens when faced with overwhelming strength. Tang San stops his advance by reminding him that Keqing could cripple him, and he later flees the Rose Hotel after noticing She Long. Nevertheless, humiliation briefly drives him to train seriously before the arena match 29 30 38.

Relationships

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rose Hotel Defeat

Dai Mubai demands the hotel’s last top-floor suite while accompanied by two women. Zhu Zhuqing, newly arrived after fleeing pursuit, recognizes her fiancé and is disgusted by his behavior 10.

When Dai Mubai attacks Chu Yuan over the room, Keqing intercepts him. Her lightning penetrates both defensive Soul Skills, throws him into the hotel furnishings, and leaves him coughing blood. She spares him when Chu Yuan gives no order to kill 11.

Broken Engagement and Street Confrontation

After Mona exposes his continued drinking and womanizing, Zhu Zhuqing destroys the betrothal pendant and pledges herself to Chu Yuan. Dai Mubai subsequently joins Shrek’s group in confronting Chu Yuan’s companions and demands that she return to him 19 25 26.

Zhu Zhuqing publicly contrasts his claims of hard training with his abandonment of her. He attempts to attack, but Tang San restrains him and redirects the dispute into a wager match scheduled three nights later 28 29.

Soto Great Soul Arena Wager

Later Rose Hotel and Shrek Sequence

Chapters 38–40 revisit the Rose Hotel encounter and Shrek admissions with Lin Feng at the center. Dai Mubai clashes with Tang San over the reserved Red Ocean suite after making advances toward Xiao Wu. Paimon uses Turn the Clock to disrupt their fight, leaving Dai Mubai with his face scraped against a rose planter; he then flees upon seeing She Long 38.

The next morning, he supports Shrek’s refusal to refund rejected applicants and insults them as unqualified. When Zhu Zhuqing arrives beside Lin Feng, his jealous demand for an explanation receives only “Scram.” He is originally assigned to administer the fourth trial, but Flender replaces him with Zhao Wuji to impress the visiting imperial inspector 40.
