Background / History

Dai Huabin is the legitimate son of Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke. He initially doubts rumors of Jiang Yang's strength, assuming that Jiang Yang's clashes with older students must have been staged; after witnessing Jiang Yang evade Zhou Yi firsthand, he is forced to reconsider. 9

During Freshman Class One's combat practice, Dai Huabin takes interest in Jiang Yang's overwhelming physical ability. Huo Yuhao approaches him with Spiritual Sharing, and Dai Huabin agrees to cooperate after seeing the tactical advantage it provides. 26 27

He leads Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie in a high-stakes challenge against Jiang Yang, wagering major cultivation resources and ultimately agreeing to Jiang Yang's additional condition: the losing side must provide ten million Gold Soul Coins as scholarships for the freshman class. 27 28

Despite receiving Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing and consuming a potential-overdrawing pill to temporarily reach Level 37, Dai Huabin is knocked unconscious by Jiang Yang. Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie subsequently surrender. 29 30 32

Personality

Dai Huabin is proud, status-conscious, and highly competitive. He mocks Huo Yuhao's weak first soul ring before accepting his cooperation only after witnessing the value of Spiritual Sharing. 26 27

He relies on wealth, resources, and provocation to pressure opponents. His attempt to expand the practice-match wager is treated by other students as a malicious gamble, while his immediate acceptance of Jiang Yang's ten-million-Gold-Soul-Coin condition shows his confidence in the scheme he had prepared. 27 28 29

When defeat appears imminent, Dai Huabin is willing to risk the backlash of forcibly overdrawing his potential rather than surrender. 30

Abilities & Skills

Evil White Tiger Martial Soul

Dai Huabin is an assault-type Soul Elder with formidable physical strength. Even while restricted from using martial souls and soul skills, Jiang Yang regards blocking Dai Huabin's enhanced strike with his body alone as a significant feat. 29

• Possesses three soul rings. 28
• Uses a combination of defense, enhancement, and ranged offense. 28
• Temporarily raised his soul power to Level 37 through a pill, though the medicine forcibly overdrew his potential. 30

White Tiger Vajra Transformation

His third soul skill, used before his defensive skill to maximize survivability at the opening of the match. 28

• Was used in conjunction with White Tiger Protection Barrier and White Tiger Intense Light Wave. 28

Equipment / Items

Relationships

• Dai Hao — Father; the White Tiger Duke. Dai Hao later places a separate wager with Shrek Academy involving Jiang Yang's freshman-assessment performance. 27 34
• Jiang Yang — Rival and opponent. Dai Huabin challenges him with Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie, then loses despite extensive preparation and temporary enhancement. 28 30 32
• Huo Yuhao — Temporary collaborator. Dai initially dismisses him, but accepts his help after experiencing Spiritual Sharing; Huo later urges Dai to continue fighting rather than surrender. 26 27 30
• Zhu Lu — Teammate in the challenge against Jiang Yang; consumes a boosting pill alongside Dai Huabin before later surrendering. 28 30 32
• Cui Yajie — Teammate in the challenge against Jiang Yang; consumes a boosting pill alongside Dai Huabin before later surrendering. 28 30 32
• Mu Jin — Teacher who attempts to prevent him from escalating the original practice-match stakes. 27

Story Role / Major Arcs

Freshman Class One Challenge

Dai Huabin turns the class combat exercise into a confrontation with Jiang Yang. He organizes a three-person team with Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie, accepts a massive scholarship wager, and reveals his three-ring cultivation in the opening exchange. 27 28

Defeat by Jiang Yang

Using Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sharing, Dai Huabin initially predicts Jiang Yang's movements, but Jiang Yang adapts and overwhelms him without using his Martial Soul or soul skills. 29

Refusing to concede, Dai Huabin takes a pill to raise himself to Level 37 and launches a final offensive alongside his teammates. Jiang Yang evades his White Tiger Intense Light Wave and knocks him unconscious with a punch, breaking three of his teeth. 30 32

Notable Quotes

“I am currently a level thirty-seven Soul Elder, and both Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie have reached level thirty soul power. You? You are nothing more than a three-ring Soul Elder who cannot even use his martial soul or soul skills!” 30
