Background / History

Dai Mubai is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire and Zhu Zhuqing's nominal fiancé. During Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul awakening, he reacts with visible fear, stepping back as her Hell Spirit Cat appears. 134

At an imperial banquet, Lin Xia's revealed level of 25 intensifies Dai Mubai's existing inferiority and fear toward his brother, Dai Weisi. He avoids Lin Xia's gaze, and Emperor Dai Tianxing is disappointed by his response during the gathering. 143

Appearance

Dai Mubai is a strikingly handsome, broad-built young man with a forthright yet dangerous presence. His appearance combines physical strength with a cold, predatory charm. 222 224

• Golden hair, which moves as though blown by wind when his Martial Soul is activated. 224
• Deep blue eyes with distinctive double pupils, known as his Evil Eyes Double Pupils. 222
• A muscular frame that enlarges further under White Tiger Avatar. 224
• His face is described as nearly flawless and marble-carved. 222

Personality

Dai Mubai initially treats others with cold indifference, superiority, and open provocation. At the Rose Hotel, he relies on his wealth, status, and Soul Power to force Tang San and Xiao Wu out of a suite, showing little concern for the manager's fear or the possibility of violence. 224 225

His confidence collapses when he faces opponents far beyond his control. He fears Dai Weisi, is terrified of Lin Xia after being defeated and confronted over his engagement, and ultimately yields to Lin Xia's demand rather than resist. 143 228 231

Despite his pride, Dai Mubai can be pragmatic. After losing to Tang San, he acknowledges the defeat and uses Tang San's potential as an opportunity to restore his own standing through Shrek Academy. 233 236 Later, witnessing Dean Zhang Tie Feng abandon his dignity to survive leaves him disillusioned and questioning what strength and conviction truly mean. 273

Abilities & Skills

White Tiger Martial Soul

Dai Mubai possesses the White Tiger, a top-tier Beast Martial Soul that grants formidable physical power and a dominating aura. 224

• Activates White Tiger Avatar, increasing his size, musculature, and oppressive Soul Power. 224
• Uses powerful close-quarters strikes capable of shattering stone. 226
• His martial pressure can frighten ordinary bystanders into retreat. 224

Soul Skills

• First Soul Skill: White Tiger Body Protection Barrier — Covers Dai Mubai in a solid golden protective layer that raises his defense. 226
• Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Fierce Light Wave — A powerful offensive Soul Skill used against Tang San. 226 227
• White Tiger Vajra Transformation — A White Tiger transformation technique used during the later academy conflict. 294
• White Emperor's Heaven-Splitting Halberd — Used to deflect an incoming attack by redirecting the opponent's force. 294

Combat Limitations

Dai Mubai favors direct force and becomes angered when opponents evade him. Tang San exploited this tendency with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, a Silent Sleeve Arrow, and an acupoint strike that collapsed Dai Mubai's Soul Power circulation and defeated him. 226 227

Relationships

• Zhu Zhuqing — Former fiancée. Zhu Zhuqing views him with anger and contempt; Lin Xia forces Dai Mubai to write an engagement-annulment declaration, ending their connection. 222 228 231 232
• Lin Xia — A vastly stronger figure whom Dai Mubai fears. Lin Xia intervenes to prevent Tang San from killing him, then compels him to dissolve his engagement to Zhu Zhuqing. 228 231 242
• Tang San — Initially his opponent in the Rose Hotel dispute. Tang San defeats him, but Dai Mubai later accepts the loss and invites Tang San to Shrek Academy. 224 227 233
• Xiao Wu — Opposed Dai Mubai alongside Tang San during the Rose Hotel confrontation. Her refusal to submit contributes to the fight. 224 225
• Dai Weisi — His brother, whom Dai Mubai fears and whose presence worsens Dai Mubai's inferiority. 143
• Dai Tianxing — Emperor of the Star Luo Empire and Dai Mubai's father; he is disappointed by Dai Mubai's conduct at the imperial banquet. 143
• Zhao Wuji — Shrek Academy's vice dean, who orders Dai Mubai to serve as the Fourth Trial's combat examiner. 240 241
• Zhang Tie Feng — Shrek Academy's dean and once a spiritual pillar for Dai Mubai; Dai Mubai is deeply shaken when Zhang submits out of fear. 273

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rose Hotel Conflict

Dai Mubai attempts to seize a hotel suite from Tang San and Xiao Wu, threatening them with his White Tiger Martial Soul and three Soul Rings. 224 225 Tang San withstands his second Soul Skill, wounds his temple with a Silent Sleeve Arrow, and incapacitates him with an acupoint strike. 227

Lin Xia prevents Tang San from executing Dai Mubai, as Dai Mubai must first provide Zhu Zhuqing with a Marriage Cancellation Letter. 228 Under Lin Xia's pressure and Zhu Zhuqing's contempt, Dai Mubai agrees to annul the engagement and is left humiliated. 231 232

Joining Shrek Academy

After recovering, Dai Mubai returns to Shrek Academy's registration process and attempts to regain face by warmly receiving Tang San and Xiao Wu as promising recruits. 236 When Lin Xia and Zhu Zhuqing arrive, Dai Mubai is overwhelmed by fear and shame upon recognizing them. 240

Zhao Wuji selects him to test Lin Xia in the Fourth Trial, but Dai Mubai panics because Lin Xia had previously blocked his attacks with ease and forced the engagement annulment. 241 242 Tyranitar's appearance later leaves Dai Mubai paralyzed with fear. 245

Crisis of Belief

When Zhang Tie Feng submits to Du Mi to save himself and Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai's idealized image of his dean is shattered. He begins questioning whether faith, dignity, and the path of the strong can endure in the face of overwhelming power. 273
