Background / History

Dai Mubai first appears at Suotuo City's Rose Hotel, where he claims the last suite through intimidation and declares that strength is the city's rule. He reveals his Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul and attacks Jiang Chen, only to be defeated in a single exchange by Jiang Chen's physical strength. Despite his rage, he acknowledges the loss, pays for the room and damage, and vows to surpass Jiang Chen someday 22 23.

He is later revealed as a senior at Shrek Academy. The Rose Hotel defeat leaves his right arm fractured, and he becomes noticeably cautious around Jiang Chen and Tang San afterward 34 35. Although proud of his strength, Dai Mubai's dependence on direct, explosive attacks leaves him vulnerable to more adaptable opponents, particularly Tang San 71 83.

Dai Mubai is engaged to Zhu Zhuqing through the Star Luo royal family. Her growing strength and closeness with Jiang Chen intensify his jealousy and insecurity. After Zhu Zhuqing decisively defeats him, she breaks off their engagement, arguing that he lacks the strength and resolve to compete for the throne 68 70 171 172.

Following the breakup and his deteriorating position within the team, Dai Mubai leaves Shrek Academy with Ma Hongjun. Desperate to regain his strength and pride, he accepts a black-robed figure's offer and enters the Sacred Mark Cult, where he endures blood-pool conditioning 174 177 182.

While operating for the cult, Dai Mubai abducts Oscar and deceives him into believing that a “Heart-Eating Mark” is causing him to lose control. He gives Oscar supposed cult hideout locations and warns of an attack on Shrek Academy, then later reveals to Ma Hongjun that the Heart-Eating Mark and his loss-of-control episode were fabricated to manipulate Shrek into acting 194 195.

The Sacred Mark Cult subsequently presents itself to Yu Xiaogang as the Holy Church. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun greet their former teacher at a blood altar, openly encourage him to join the organization, and demonstrate the confidence and apparent physical improvement gained through its methods 236 237.

During Bibi Dong's assault on the cult, Dai Mubai sustains serious injuries to his arm and shoulder but survives alongside Ma Hongjun and Yu Xiaogang. After the cult loses most of its branches and core members, he supports the decision to withdraw to Slaughter City, where its members hope to stabilize their newly awakened bloodlines and suppress their evil impulses 297 298.

Appearance

Dai Mubai is a tall young man with yellow hair and heterochromatic eyes. His appearance becomes more imposing during Martial Soul Possession, while his later Sacred Mark Cult attire gives him a gaunter, more ominous appearance 23 34 194.

• Heterochromatic “evil eyes” 22 23
• Yellow hair 34
• Wears a white, form-fitting outfit while at Shrek Academy 34
• During White Tiger possession, develops sharpened muscles, clawed hands, and a faint “king” pattern on his forehead 23
• Later wears black robes and appears pale and gaunt 194
• Appears healthier and more self-assured after becoming a Holy Church member, though this is later replaced by visible wounds and bandages after Bibi Dong's assault 236 297
• Suffers a badly injured arm and a partially collapsed shoulder during the assault on the cult 297

Personality

Dai Mubai is initially arrogant, quick-tempered, and accustomed to using strength and status to get his way. His conduct at the Rose Hotel reflects both his entitlement and his belief that power determines who deserves respect 22 23.

He is not wholly incapable of accepting defeat: after Jiang Chen overwhelms him, he concedes, pays for the damages, and resolves to become stronger rather than immediately retaliating 23. However, his pride repeatedly turns into impatience and frustration when his direct combat style fails or when Zhu Zhuqing surpasses him 83 85 171.

Dai Mubai also shows a protective streak, intervening when noble students harass a commoner at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. His possessiveness toward Zhu Zhuqing, however, undermines that sense of loyalty and contributes to their eventual separation 115 172.

After joining the Sacred Mark Cult, he becomes calculating and deceptive. He deliberately exploits Oscar's concern for his former teammates in order to draw Shrek Academy into the cult's plans 194 195.

His ambition remains tied to pride and strength, making him receptive to the cult's promise of restoring his lost standing. Even after Ma Hongjun becomes strong enough to dominate him, Dai Mubai refuses to submit easily and continues to taunt him as a “wild chicken” rather than acknowledge his status as a Holy Son 177 195.

Despite his bitterness and cult allegiance, Dai Mubai still shows practical loyalty toward Ma Hongjun. While seriously wounded himself, he treats Ma's injuries after their confrontation with Bibi Dong and supports the group's strategic retreat to Slaughter City 297 298.

Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul

Dai Mubai possesses the Evil Eye White Tiger, a high-tier assault-type beast Martial Soul and a signature trait of the Star Luo royal family. Possession increases his physical size, muscle mass, and close-combat power while manifesting claws and a tiger-like aura 23 71 96.

Sacred Mark Cult Techniques
