Power Progression

Background / History

Dai Yun'er joins the four-person squad assembled by Ning Rongrong with Wu Sidu and Zhu Zhuqing for Shrek Academy's practical-combat assessment. Her arrival leaves Ning Rongrong as the only member without a Hell Spirit Cat martial soul. 30

Dai Yun'er initially participates in Shrek Academy's virtual practical-combat assessment alongside Wu Sidu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. Her team faces Tang Wulin's group; she disables Xie Xie with a soul impact and repeatedly contests Luo Guixing before Tang Wulin and Luo Guixing eliminate her through coordinated attacks. 31 32 33 34

Before the class's Spirit Ascension Platform training, Wu Zhangkong assigns Dai and the other four-ring students to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform rather than the Primary platform. She also receives a Golden Pearl containing a Sea Princess's spiritual origin, which Wu Zhangkong explains can nourish spiritual power and extend a mortal's lifespan. 43

She later joins Wu Sidu and Zhu Zhuqing in regular Virtual Pod training, citing their shared Hell Spirit Cat martial soul. After Zhu Zhuqing is eliminated in an early practice match, Dai Yun'er comforts her and explains the virtual arena's recovery system. In their rematch, she holds back both Yang Nianxia and Zheng Yiran so Zhu Zhuqing can eliminate Xu Xiaoyan. 61 63 64

During the first match, Yang Nianxia's Dark Gold Body Protection prevents her claws from injuring him. Zheng Yiran's poisonous mist restricts her movement, and Xu Xiaoyan's Starlight Feedback disrupts her senses and bodily control, allowing Zheng Yiran to eliminate her. In the rematch, Dai counters Xu Xiaoyan's opening control skill with Spirit Shock and uses Soul Shock to create an opening against Zheng Yiran. 63 64

Dai accompanies the group through the Soul Beast Tower, where she and Xie Xie explain its artificial soul beasts and soul rings. The group clears stages featuring Iron-Armored Dragon Lizards, Silver Moon Wolves, and Shadow Cats, after which Zhu Zhuqing obtains her third soul skill and a Shadow Cat Soul Spirit. 82

Dai, Wu Sidu, and Zhu Zhuqing discover that their martial souls resonate strongly enough to form a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Wu Zhangkong provides them with Soul-Bonding Spirit Liquid to improve their compatibility, after which they train the fusion in virtual combat. 84 85 86

Their initial compatibility test uses Spirit Resonance Water. In the subsequent virtual trial, their Three-Eyed Underworld Tiger confronts a golden dragon formed by three combat puppets with ninety-nine percent compatibility. Although their fusion injures the dragon, its superior Soul Power ultimately defeats them, leaving all three exhausted. 84 85

When Ning Rongrong asks about her family, Dai says that it is only somewhat better off than an ordinary household. 89

During the group's later cross-temporal journey, Dai offers Huo Yuhao help in reaching a destination of his choice and is regarded by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as non-hostile. She later assesses that royal academies are likely to impose status-based admission requirements. 162 163

During the Shrek Academy Freshman Competition, Dai faces Zhu Zhuqing in the arena. Possessing a ten-level cultivation advantage, she defeats Zhuqing through a sequence of Nether Hundred Claws, Spirit Shock, Nether Slash, and Body Flicker. 214

Her surname and Hell Spirit Cat martial soul attract the attention of the contemporary Star Luo Emperor, who suspects a connection to Dai Tianling and Dai Yueyan but does not understand why she studies in Suotuo City rather than Star Luo City. 214

In a later battle against Tang Wulin, Dai fights alongside Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan. While helping Xu Xiaoyan evade Tang Wulin's heavy hammer attack, her ankle is grazed and badly injured; Tang Wulin subsequently eliminates her when she can no longer evade. 246

Dai ultimately places third in the Shrek Academy Freshman Competition. Her rewards include a full set of one-hundred-fifty-thousand-year Soul Bones, one hundred fifty thousand contribution points, a Red-Grade Mecha, and a Level-Nine Soul Tool. 249

Following the conclusion of the students' training with their future selves, Dai travels with Zhu Zhuqing to Shrek Academy's Star Luo City Branch for specialized instruction. There, Zhuqing learns that Dai is the daughter of their new instructor, Dai Tianling. 266

Dai Tianling brings Dai and Zhu Zhuqing to the reverse passage into the Demon Plane, an invading mid-level plane that Shrek Academy has subdued and converted into a training ground. He leaves the pair to confront an army of tens of thousands of demons while he fights a Greater Demon. 267 268

During the battle, Dai coordinates their roles by taking on the stronger Demonkin and flying demons while Zhu Zhuqing handles the Hellhounds. When their Soul Power is nearly exhausted, Dai suggests attempting their three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill without Wu Sidu. Although they lack the Soul Power to activate the fusion, their synchronized Soul Power circulation produces a small recovery burst that lets them escape a seemingly fatal attack until Dai Tianling returns to rescue them. 268

After confronting her father over the dangerous exercise, Dai accepts his lesson that numerical superiority cannot overcome an absolute disparity in strength. She and Zhu Zhuqing recover in Suotuo City before returning to the Star Luo City Branch to continue their training. 269

Dai subsequently begins learning the Martial Soul Resonance Art with Zhu Zhuqing under Dai Tianling and Dai Yueyan's guidance. Their existing compatibility as Martial Soul Fusion Skill partners lets them quickly reach the technique's threshold, though Wu Sidu does not join them because she has separate cultivation arrangements. 270

Appearance

Dai Yun'er is a golden-haired girl with bright, lively eyes and a frequently smiling expression. Her gentle, approachable bearing contrasts sharply with Wu Sidu's colder demeanor. 31 32

• Long golden hair. 31 32
• Bright, lively eyes. 31
• Her eyes shine gold when she activates Spirit Eye abilities. 33 214
• Gains black cat ears and sharp claws while using Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul Possession. 33 214
• Uses silver-white Battle Armor during her battle in the Demon Plane. 268

Personality

Dai is cheerful and enthusiastic, readily joining team activities and greeting allies warmly. She can also be playful in combat, particularly when teasing Xie Xie after repeatedly targeting him with mental attacks. 33 81

She is supportive toward her teammates. After Zhu Zhuqing's elimination, Dai reassures her that the defeat was not her fault and encourages her before their next match. 63

Although she is troubled when academy-wide spiritual techniques seem to diminish the uniqueness of her Spirit Eye skills, Tang Wulin's encouragement quickly restores her motivation. 137

Dai remains calm under pressure, contrasting with Zhu Zhuqing's more immediate eagerness to fight during the group's journey. Even after suffering an ankle injury in battle, she reassures Xu Xiaoyan and entrusts the continuation of the fight to her. 163 246

Despite initially boasting that she would look after Zhu Zhuqing at the Star Luo City Branch, Dai remains decisive when they are stranded amid the demon army. She assigns their combat roles, proposes their desperate resonance attempt, and continues protecting Zhuqing even after becoming exhausted herself. 266 268

Dai is willing to challenge Dai Tianling when she considers his teaching methods reckless, humorously comparing him to Xuan Zi. Nevertheless, she reflects on their near-death experience and accepts the need to become stronger rather than relying on numerical advantage. 269

Around her family, she becomes less restrained and openly affectionate. She playfully asks Dai Tianling to spend time with his “cutest daughter” after months apart and later teases Dai Yueyan for assuming that Zhu Zhuqing has been looking after her. 266 270

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Dai possesses both the Hell Spirit Cat and Spirit Eye martial souls, allowing her to alternate between rapid close-range attacks and spiritual control. 33

• Has a documented early soul-ring configuration of three thousand-year rings and one ten-thousand-year ring. 32 62
• Four purple rings are also described during her early Virtual Pod match against Yang Nianxia, creating a discrepancy with the earlier configuration. 63
• Later possesses five rings: two purple and three black. 214
• Uses the Hell Spirit Cat for agility, claws, and direct combat. 33 34
• Uses the Spirit Eye for detection, mental interference, and battlefield control. 33 34
• Can rapidly transition from Hell Spirit Cat combat to Spirit Eye spiritual attacks to exploit openings in an opponent's defense. 214

Hell Spirit Cat

Dai's Hell Spirit Cat martial soul grants her high mobility and close-combat claws.

• Hell Stab / Nether Thrust — her first soul skill; dashes at high speed to strike with her claws. She also uses its explosive movement to retreat and widen the distance from an opponent. 33 63 64 214
• Nether Hundred Claws — her second soul skill; unleashes a dense barrage of claw shadows from multiple directions. 214
• Nether Slash — her third soul skill; condenses a black Soul Power blade over her claw for a powerful slashing attack. 214
• Body Flicker — her fourth soul skill; vanishes and reappears at a chosen position, allowing her to bypass an opponent's reaction time. 214
• Can evade attacks and disrupt multiple opponents through speed and positioning. 64
• Her claws could not penetrate Yang Nianxia's Dark Gold Body Protection. 63

Spirit Eye

The Spirit Eye specializes in spiritual perception and mental attacks.

• Spirit Detection — her first soul skill; perceives enemy movement, spatial fluctuations, and soul-power circulation. 33
• Mental Interference — her second soul skill; disrupts an opponent's consciousness; it freezes Xie Xie when his spiritual power cannot resist it. 33
• Soul Shock / Soul Impact — her third soul skill; releases a stronger spiritual attack capable of knocking Xie Xie unconscious and impairing Luo Guixing. 33 34
• Group Weakness — her fourth soul skill; spreads a golden halo over multiple opponents. 33
• Spirit Shock — uses spiritual power to disrupt opponents; even when Zhu Zhuqing uses Spirit Defense, Dai's superior spiritual power can still briefly affect her. 214
• Can interrupt Xu Xiaoyan's Starlight Feedback with Spirit Shock and delay Zheng Yiran's interception with Soul Shock. 64
• Uses Group Weakness to slow flying demons during the Demon Plane battle, allowing her to engage targets that would otherwise be too fast to hit. 268
• Her Spirit Eye gives her greater spiritual-growth potential and makes spiritual techniques easier for her to use than for most classmates. 137
• Wu Zhangkong notes that her low-age Ice Silkworm soul-ring choice was not ideal for the martial soul and reduced the skill's effectiveness. 137

Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Dai can perform a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wu Sidu and Zhu Zhuqing. Their Hell Spirit Cat, Spirit Eye, and Evil Eye White Tiger martial souls resonate with one another. 84 85

• The fusion is known as the Three-Eyed Underworld Tiger. 85
• Spirit Resonance Water initially allows the trio to detect their compatibility. 84
• In its first virtual test, the fusion injures a golden dragon formed by three highly compatible combat puppets but loses to its superior Soul Power, exhausting the three partners. 85
• Soul-Bonding Spirit Liquid raises the trio's compatibility by approximately twenty points; each person can take it only once. 86
• Virtual combat training improves the fusion skill's power and duration. 86
• Dai and Zhu Zhuqing attempt to activate the fusion without Wu Sidu during their Demon Plane battle. They have insufficient Soul Power to release it, but the attempt reveals that synchronized Soul Power circulation can restore a small amount of energy. 268

Martial Soul Resonance Art

Dai begins learning the Martial Soul Resonance Art with Zhu Zhuqing after their accidental Soul Power recovery during the Demon Plane battle. 269 270

• The technique synchronizes the Soul Power circulation frequencies of Soul Masters with the same type of martial soul. 270
• Resonance greatly accelerates Soul Power recovery, with its effectiveness depending on mutual understanding and compatibility. 270
• Dai and Zhuqing possess a natural advantage because of their established Martial Soul Fusion Skill compatibility. 270
• At advanced levels, one user's circulating Soul Power can potentially sustain or restore both users without requiring them to act simultaneously. 270
• Dai Tianling and Dai Yueyan demonstrate the technique before individually guiding Dai and Zhuqing through its initial practice. 270
• Dai Tianling personally guides Dai in stabilizing and circulating her Soul Power while Dai Yueyan helps Zhuqing adjust her rhythm to Dai's frequency. 270

Spiritual-Power Techniques

Dai demonstrates Spirit Shock against Wu Zhangkong during the class's spiritual-power lesson, though he blocks it effortlessly. 137

• Can develop Spirit Shock and Spirit Defense alongside her Spirit Eye abilities. 137
• Can train toward Spirit Detection Sharing, which creates a shared three-dimensional awareness of allies and the surrounding environment. 137
• Receives a Golden Pearl containing a Sea Princess's spiritual origin, provided by Wu Zhangkong to nourish the students' spiritual power. 43

Battle Armor

Dai deploys silver-white Battle Armor while fighting demons alongside Zhu Zhuqing. The armor significantly sharpens her aura during combat. 268

Soul Tools

• Flying Soul Tool — enables Dai to take flight during the Demon Plane battle. She combines aerial mobility with Group Weakness and Nether Hundred Claws to attack Flying Demons. 268
• Tournament Rewards — receives a Red-Grade Mecha and a Level-Nine Soul Tool for placing third in the Freshman Competition; their individual capabilities are not specified. 249

Relationships

• Dai Tianling — Dai's father and her instructor at Shrek Academy's Star Luo City Branch. Though she greets him affectionately and relies on his support, he subjects her to severe battlefield training in the Demon Plane to correct her complacency and develop her strength. 266 267 268 269 270
• Dai Yueyan — Dai's older brother. The siblings share a warm and playful relationship, and he assists Dai Tianling in teaching Dai and Zhu Zhuqing the Martial Soul Resonance Art. 270
• Wu Sidu — Teammate, training partner, and one of Dai's two Martial Soul Fusion Skill partners. Wu does not participate in Dai's Resonance Art training because the academy has arranged separate cultivation for her. 31 61 84 85 86 270
• Zhu Zhuqing — Training partner and fusion partner; Dai comforts Zhuqing after her elimination and helps create openings for her in combat. Dai later defeats Zhuqing in the Freshman Competition. The two become especially close during their Demon Plane training, where they fight as partners and begin learning the Martial Soul Resonance Art together. 61 63 64 84 85 86 214 266 268 270
• Ning Rongrong — Teammate and friend; Dai discusses her background with Ning and reassures her that the trio's fusion skill is still far from being able to challenge a Title Douluo. 31 86 89
• Tang Wulin — Teammate who encourages Dai to develop stronger Spirit Eye applications after she becomes discouraged by the spiritual-power lesson. He later eliminates her after her ankle is injured in battle, and Dai Tianling cites Tang's victory over the students as proof of their need for stricter training. 81 137 246 266
• Xie Xie — Combat opponent and later teammate; Dai repeatedly targets him with mental attacks, calling him “the easiest to bully.” 33 81
• Luo Guixing — Practical-assessment opponent who struggles against her combination of agility and spiritual control. He ultimately immobilizes her with Two Worlds Division so Tang Wulin can eliminate her. 33 34
• Xu Xiaoyan — Initially an opponent in Virtual Pod training, but later fights alongside Dai against Tang Wulin. Xu supports Dai after her ankle injury. 62 63 64 246
• Ye Xinglan — Later combat teammate against Tang Wulin. 246
• Huo Yuhao — Dai offers to help him find a destination after his encounter with Tang Ya and Beibei. 162
• Wu Zhangkong — Class teacher who oversees her combat, fusion, and spiritual-power training. He identifies the limitations of her Ice Silkworm soul-ring choice while emphasizing the greater spiritual potential of her Spirit Eye martial soul. 84 85 86 137
