Dai Mubai

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Imperial Family. Its succession system pits gifted descendants against one another: the winner takes the throne, while the losers die or have their cultivation crippled and are confined. Each heir is paired with a woman from the Zhu family because of their families’ inherited Martial Soul Fusion Skill; the partner shares the heir’s fate 14.

His only rival in their generation is his elder brother, Dai Weisi, who is six years older. Dai Mubai had no desire for the throne, but his innate level-nine Soul Power made him a candidate. He joined Shrek Academy hoping its training would make him strong enough to return 10 14.

Appearance

Dai Mubai is blond, with prominent brows and heterochromatic tiger eyes 10 35 73.

• Golden wings: Golden Wing Soaring Transformation produces gilded feathered wings three to four meters long 35.
• Tiger claws: His Golden Light Claw technique forms almost solid golden claws around his hands 72.

Personality

Dai Mubai is determined to grow stronger despite the disadvantage imposed by his brother’s head start. When uncertain whether to alter his family’s Soul Ring path, he intensified his physical training while considering the consequences for Zhu Zhuqing and their fusion skill 14.

His princely education has also made him politically cautious. He concealed Xiang Yang’s contribution to Martial Soul Evolution from Ning Rongrong, crediting Yu Xiaogang instead because Xiang Yang was too weak to protect himself if his knowledge became known 15. Although he often teases Ma Hongjun, he encourages his friend to pursue the path with the greatest potential and offers to challenge him in training 35 74.

Abilities and Skills

White Tiger Martial Soul

Dai Mubai specializes in power attacks and close combat, supported by light and metal attributes 50 72.

• Physical strength: He trains with at least four thousand jin of weight; lighter loads have little effect on him 32.
• Metal-attribute Soul Power: More than doubled the sharpness of the Dark Gold Dagger during a test 32.
• Golden Light Claw: Forms golden tiger claws that cut through Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor during sparring 72.

Soul Skills

Shaking Heaven and Earth places a King’s Mark on affected enemies, increasing Dai Mubai’s subsequent damage against them. Marks stack with successive waves: two marks raise his attack to 121% of its original strength. In his later spar with Tang San, he used twelve sonic waves and landed seven marks 50 73.

Modified and Combined Attacks

• Golden Radiance Fierce Light Slash — A modification of White Tiger Fierce Light Wave that adds metal attribute and condenses the attack into a straight-cutting blade with burning and armor-piercing effects 21.
• White Tiger Impact — Combines his protective barrier, modified light attack and flight into a high-speed charge. He used it to knock multiple opponents out of the arena 35.

Hell White Tiger

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing combine their Martial Souls to form the Hell White Tiger, a powerful energy beast containing their Soul Power and Martial Soul skills 15 19.

• Against Zhao Wuji, their modified fusion took the form of a solid white tiger with dark markings and golden wings 19.
• The fusion consumes substantial stamina and Soul Power; both partners were exhausted when it ended during the fight 20.
• Zhu Zhuqing later chose a Shadow-Devouring Spirit Cat Soul Ring partly to compensate for that consumption 50.

Items

• Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum — An Immortal Herb received from Xiang Yang. It strengthened Dai Mubai’s body and gave him exceptional recovery and endurance 47 73.

Relationships

• Zhu Zhuqing — His fiancée and Martial Soul Fusion partner. She initially believed he had abandoned her, but reconsidered after arriving at Shrek. She later caught him when he collapsed after an arena victory 15 35.
• Dai Weisi — His elder brother and rival for the Star Luo throne, with a six-year head start in cultivation 14.
• Xiang Yang — A Shrek companion whose Soul Ring advice Dai Mubai trusts. Xiang Yang later advised him to study light, metal or a combination of the two if he wanted to pursue an Ultimate Martial Soul 70 71.
• Tang San — A fellow student and training partner. Their spar pitted Dai Mubai’s close combat and aerial attacks against Tang San’s resilient Blue Silver Emperor 72 73.
• Ma Hongjun — A close friend and frequent target of his teasing; the two also regard each other as rivals in training 35 73 74.

Story Role

• Joining Shrek: Dai Mubai meets Xiang Yang’s group at the academy and loses an early Great Soul Arena bout to Xiao Wu. He subsequently seeks Xiang Yang’s help with his succession problem 10 11 13.
• Zhu Zhuqing’s arrival: He tells his fiancée that better Soul Ring combinations and Martial Soul Evolution may offer them a way to break free of their fate 15.
• Training and arena battles: He and Zhu Zhuqing use Hell White Tiger against Zhao Wuji. Later, he leads the Monster Team against Mad Battle and wins with White Tiger Impact 19 20 34 35.
• Soul Ring hunt: He uses Shaking Heaven and Earth to drive away Soul Beasts, then guards Zhu Zhuqing as she refines her Soul Ring 49 50.
• Tournament preparation: He spars with Soul King Tang San, then trains on Tang San’s team against Xiang Yang’s. His eventual Soul King breakthrough draws the attention of the Star Luo Emperor 72 73 75 76.
