Background / History

Dai Huabin had already established a reputation at Shrek before the freshman assessment. After mocking Zhou Yi's class for its daily running regimen, he fought the class privately and defeated every male student alone. Zhou Yi subsequently intervened and disciplined him with her teacher's pressure. 16

During the freshman assessment, Dai Huabin led a Class Five team with Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie. The team won all ten of its preliminary matches, reflecting its overwhelming combat strength among the freshmen. 19 26

He encountered Huo Yuhao's team in the academy cafeteria before the tournament's final stages. Provoked by Huo Yuhao's remarks about his recently deceased mother, Dai Huabin argued that Shrek Academy measured strength rather than words; their escalating soul-power clash was halted by a cafeteria chef. 25

• Zhu Lu — Teammate and Martial Soul Fusion partner. Together they form the Hell White Tiger; she transferred classes alongside him after his challenge to Huo Yuhao's class-monitor candidacy failed. 27 35
• Cui Yajie — Freshman-assessment teammate. Her relationship with Dai Huabin's team deteriorated after their defeat in the final. 27 30

Story Role / Major Arcs

Freshman Assessment

Dai Huabin's team entered the freshman tournament as one of its strongest groups. He faced Huo Yuhao's team in the final, where Zhu Lu's Hell Hundred Claws, Cui Yajie's support, and the Hell White Tiger fusion all failed to overcome Huo Yuhao. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were rendered unconscious, while Cui Yajie surrendered; Huo Yuhao's team became champions. 27 28

Class-Monitor Dispute and Transfer

After Huo Yuhao was reprimanded by the academy, Dai Huabin attempted to use the punishment as grounds to oppose Huo Yuhao's candidacy for Control-type class monitor. Mu Jin rejected the objection, and Huo Yuhao was elected without opposition. Dai Huabin then transferred to another class, with Zhu Lu following him. 34 35

Advancement-Assessment Bet

Still unwilling to accept his loss, Dai Huabin proposed a wager: his and Zhu Lu's combined scores against the total score of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao. 40

The bet collapsed when Huo Yuhao earned 140 points, while Dai Huabin was injured by a Wind Tiger and lost 50 points. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong later put him in the hospital, settling the score from the freshman assessment. 41 42

Death

While humiliating Dai Huabin after the advancement assessment, Huo Yuhao secretly implanted ice-crystal particles into his brain through physical contact with his cheek. 42

After Huo Yuhao later found information in an assassin's storage soul tool that he believed implicated Dai Huabin, he activated the implanted seed remotely. Dai Huabin's blood flowed in reverse; he vomited black blood and died in his dormitory. 46
