Background

Born into the Dai imperial family as the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai faces a brutal succession struggle. He leaves his homeland at eleven and chooses Shrek Academy as an alternative route to distinguish himself in the imperial conflict. The imperial rules described to him require him to compete with his elder brother, Dai Weisi; the loser faces death or confinement to prevent internal strife. 57 74

Soon after arriving in Suotuo City, Dai Mubai seeks a fight and clashes with Lin An at the Spirit Hotel. His pride as an eleven-year-old two-ring Great Soul Master is shattered when the six-year-old easily slaps and defeats him despite his use of Soul Ring Skills. 57 58

After losing their agreed fight, Dai Mubai is compelled to follow Lin An's rules. Little White restrains and walks him through the city, and his failed escape attempt makes him realize that even the dog is far beyond his ability to resist. 60 61

Flender allows Dai Mubai to remain with Bibi Dong, Lin Ning, and Lin An rather than immediately redeem him, believing their company will help him grow. Dai Mubai becomes the group’s lowest-ranking member, handling chores, cooking, carrying supplies, and setting camp. 69 70

Personality

Dai Mubai initially possesses considerable pride in his royal status and talent. He is quick to anger when humiliated, particularly after Lin An dismisses his status as a two-ring Great Soul Master and defeats him in public. 57 59

Despite this arrogance, he is not reckless enough to antagonize powers he recognizes as dangerous. He restrains himself before the Spirit Hotel’s Spirit Hall-backed manager and later chooses not to report Lin Ning and Lin An after learning that they are wanted for abducting Bibi Dong. 57 72

His time with the Lin family steadily makes him more pragmatic and adaptable. He accepts his position as the group’s weakest member, learns to perform domestic work, recognizes when to retreat from a hopeless fight, and comes to trust the twins despite their harsh methods. 70 95 107

Dai Mubai also has a strong desire for battle. In his first life-and-death duel against another Soul Master, he feels excitement rather than fear and adapts quickly to Lei Xue’s speed-based tactics. 135 136

Appearance

Dai Mubai is a fair-faced, handsome young man with a physically capable build befitting a Beast Martial Soul master. His most distinctive feature is his “evil eyes,” which visibly change when he activates his White Tiger abilities. 57 61

• Fair complexion. 57
• Handsome appearance and relatively tall stature for his age. 61
• Fierce, “evil” eyes that turn white during Soul Ring activation. 57
• Manifests tiger-claw shells and a White Tiger projection in combat. 104

Abilities & Skills

• Can manifest a tiger head to reinforce his attacks. 104

• Does not prevent all damage; Dai Mubai still receives claw wounds during his first Soul Duel. 135

White Tiger Blazing Light Wave

Dai Mubai’s second Soul Ring Skill originally manifests as a milky-white energy orb. Under Lin Ning and Lin An’s training, he learns to alter the skill rather than use it as a simple projectile. 104 108

• Compresses the attack into three white needles for more focused destructive power. 108
• Splits the orb into two energy spheres around his hands, improving his close-combat striking power. 136

• Also loses one tail every ten minutes. 136

Story Role / Major Arcs

Defeat and Forced Service

Dai Mubai’s first encounter with Lin An turns his status upside down: the Star Luo prince loses a fight to a six-year-old, is held to their wager, and is restrained by Little White. His humiliation becomes widely known in Suotuo City and draws Zhao Wuji’s intervention. 57 60 61

Bibi Dong’s Bargain

After Bibi Dong saves him from the consequences of eating Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast meat, she offers to help him gain the Star Luo throne. In return, Dai Mubai agrees to become a reliable partner and protector for Lin Ning and Lin An. 74

Disciple of the Lin Siblings

Dai Mubai reluctantly accepts Lin Ning and Lin An as his teachers. Their training repeatedly defeats him but dramatically improves his combat instincts, self-control, understanding of his martial soul, and ability to retreat instead of risking his life pointlessly. 102 104 107

His training culminates in meeting Lin Ning’s two-minute test and earning the opportunity to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year third Soul Ring. The siblings deliberately seek a defensive, survival-oriented ring suitable for his White Tiger Martial Soul. 108 109

Return to Shrek Academy

Dai Mubai returns to Shrek Academy as a level-33 Soul Elder, publicly acknowledging Lin Ning and Lin An as his teachers. His rapid advancement, strengthened foundation, and Black third Soul Ring astonish Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the other academy members. 113 116 137

Great Soul Arena Deathmatch

At level 36, Dai Mubai faces Lei Xue in his first true life-or-death battle against another Soul Master. He uses his modified second-ring technique and Tai Chi Tiger — Earth Transformation to counter Lei Xue’s speed, forcing his opponent to surrender. Dai Mubai holds back rather than killing Lei Xue after the surrender. 135 136 138
