Background
Dai Mubai is already associated with Shrek Academy when Tang San and Xiao Wu encounter him in Suotuo City. He attempts to claim the Rose Hotel's Presidential Suite through force, triggering a confrontation with Tang San over the room. 31 32
During the fight, he displays the powerful vitality of his White Tiger martial soul. Ji Yuan exploits the battle to implant spores through Dai Mubai's ankle, beginning an undetected parasitic drain on his White Tiger origin, blood, and vitality. 31 32
After leaving the hotel, Dai Mubai experiences unexplained fatigue, weakness in his limbs, and difficulty circulating his strength. His pride leads him to dismiss the symptoms as ordinary exhaustion rather than seek treatment. 32 33
At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai guides Tang San and Xiao Wu through registration and later brings the newly admitted students to the dormitories after the fourth assessment. 34 36
Following the Shrek students' encounter with the Titan Giant Ape, Dai Mubai continues suffering from the beast's gravity shock as well as Ji Yuan's concealed harvesting. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass temporarily eases his injuries during the Dark Web synchronization, though Dai Mubai remains unaware that Ji Yuan is still drawing from his White Tiger node. 61 78
During a sparring exercise, Tang San's uncontrollable Eight Spider Lances pierce Dai Mubai's shoulder and violently drain a major portion of his White Tiger Royal Origin. He nearly dies from the loss of blood vitality and martial soul origin before Ji Yuan covertly returns a small amount of refined life essence through Tang San, allowing the teachers to stabilize him. 88 89 90 91
Dai Mubai survives, but the injury leaves his White Tiger martial soul weakened and his cultivation impaired. He eventually accepts regular meditation beside Tang San's Blue Silver Grass because its life aura temporarily clears his damaged meridians, despite continuing to resent and fear Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. 92 93 94
Appearance
Dai Mubai is a tall, broad-shouldered blond youth with an imposing build. When first introduced, he wears his shirt with the collar open and is accompanied by two identical-looking girls. 31
- Blond hair.
- Tall and broad physique.
- Tiger claws manifest when he releases his martial soul. 32
- A phantom White Tiger appears behind him when he uses his power. 31
- Later develops visible dark circles and an increasingly exhausted appearance due to Ji Yuan's parasitism. 33
- After the Eight Spider Lances incident, he becomes visibly pale and weak, with a badly wounded right shoulder that later requires bandaging. 89 90 99
Personality
Dai Mubai is forceful, proud, and openly competitive. He initially refuses to yield the hotel room simply because he dislikes giving way to others, and he regards Tang San as a potential rival worth testing. 31 33
Although abrasive, he is protective of Shrek's students. He follows Ma Hongjun when the latter loses control of his Evil Fire, restrains Xiao Wu from rushing into danger, and acts quickly when Ma Hongjun is injured by Bu Le. 39 41 49
He is particularly sensitive to Zhu Zhuqing's cold treatment. He repeatedly tries to caution her about danger, but she rejects his concern, leaving their interactions strained. 34 39 40
Dai Mubai possesses a strong sense of responsibility as Shrek's senior assault-type fighter. He pushes the others through Master Yu Xiaogang's endurance training, protects Oscar and Ma Hongjun when stronger opponents threaten them, and insists on facing opposing team captains himself. 59 85 94
His pride also makes the loss of his White Tiger origin particularly painful. After Tang San's Eight Spider Lances nearly drain him dry, Dai Mubai becomes guarded and hostile toward Tang San, refusing to forgive him even after accepting the practical need for Tang San's healing aura. 92 93
Abilities & Skills
Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul
Dai Mubai possesses the Evil Eye White Tiger, a top-tier beast martial soul characterized by dense, violent vitality and physical power. Its powerful blood and vitality make him a valuable long-term target for Ji Yuan's parasitic spores. 31 33
- Enhances his physical strength, speed, durability, and close-range offense.
- Forms a White Tiger phantom when activated. 31
- His martial soul possesses beastlike instincts; the phantom briefly detects the scent of Ji Yuan's approaching spore. 31
- His vitality repeatedly weakens after Ji Yuan drains it through spores rooted in his ankle and through contaminated well water. 32 33 37
- His bloodline contains a concealed White Tiger Royal Origin protected by golden blood energy, which Ji Yuan covets as a renewable source of high-grade vitality. 89 91
- After the Eight Spider Lances drain a major portion of that origin, he can only use roughly sixty percent of his former Soul Power and struggles to sustain his martial soul's full strength. 92 93 94
White Tiger Possession
Dai Mubai can enter a White Tiger possession state, manifesting white fur, tiger palms, claws, and enhanced physical combat ability. 88 93
- Allows him to use his martial soul's physical traits even when soul skills are restricted. 88
- Following the origin-drain injury, his possession state can only persist briefly before his Soul Power circulation fails. 93
White Tiger Protective Barrier
Dai Mubai's first soul skill creates a membrane-like barrier of Soul Power around his body. 32
- Deflects or resists incoming threats, including Ji Yuan's first sub-spore attempt. 32
- The barrier becomes less reliable when Dai Mubai's movements and vitality are impaired by parasitism. 50
- Allows him to meet heavy frontal attacks, including Mad Rhino's spiked club during the Crazy Team battle. 53
- Is breached by Yu Tianheng's lightning-infused Dragon Claw after the damage to Dai Mubai's White Tiger origin leaves gaps in his defenses. 95
White Tiger Vajra Transformation
Dai Mubai's third soul skill drastically enhances his body, swelling his muscles and causing his blood and vitality to surge outward. 32
- Increases his physical power enough to tear through Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. 32
- Produces violent vitality surges that create openings through which Ji Yuan's spores enter his pores. 32
- Used in the ambush against Bu Le to deliver heavy direct attacks. 50
- Can be partially imitated through his martial soul's innate bloodline circulation even without activating a soul ring. 88
- Becomes difficult to maintain after the Eight Spider Lances drain his White Tiger origin, and repeated use further strains his damaged shoulder meridians. 92 93 95
White Tiger Light Wave
Dai Mubai can unleash a ranged White Tiger Light Wave. 50
- Strikes Bu Le in the chest after Tang San's poison disrupts his movement. 50
- Functions effectively as part of coordinated team combat. 50
- Fires a point-blank White Tiger Radiant Wave that defeats Mad Rhino after the Crazy Team captain is weakened by Tang San's control network. 53
Combat Leadership
Dai Mubai is experienced in practical combat and quickly responds to battlefield openings.
- Warns Tang San's group of Zhao Wuji's Soul Sage-level strength before the fourth assessment. 34
- Helps escort the exhausted Tang San to the dormitories after the assessment. 36
- Coordinates with Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun during the ambush on Bu Le. 49 50
- Urges the group to exploit Bu Le's slowing movements once the poison begins taking effect. 50
- Takes responsibility for Shrek's front line during the Crazy Team battle, holding Mad Rhino in place while Tang San arranges the team's control tactics. 52 53
- Sets a fast pace during Master Yu Xiaogang's weighted endurance training and encourages the other students not to surrender. 85 86
- Continues leading Shrek's assault line against Emperor Team despite his injury, although Tang San must repeatedly restrain him from taking reckless direct exchanges with Yu Tianheng. 94 95
Weaknesses
- Ji Yuan's White Tiger spores secretly consume his vitality and leave him fatigued, sore, and unsteady on his feet. 32 33
- His pride prevents him from acknowledging that his condition may be abnormal. 33
- His concern for Zhu Zhuqing can distract or emotionally unsettle him when she dismisses him. 34 39 40
- His powerful vitality becomes a recurring resource for Ji Yuan, who considers him suitable for long-term harvesting. 33
- The Eight Spider Lances drain a substantial portion of his White Tiger Royal Origin, severely damaging his shoulder meridians and reducing his effective Soul Power to about sixty percent of its former level. 89 90 93
- He cannot reliably maintain White Tiger Vajra Transformation after the injury, and prolonged combat or high-output Soul Power circulation aggravates his condition. 92 93 95
- His damaged meridians temporarily depend on Tang San's nearby Blue Silver Grass life aura; when Tang San leaves the effective range, the blockage and pain return. 93
- His determination to confront powerful beast martial souls head-on leaves him vulnerable to opponents such as Yu Tianheng, whose lightning repeatedly exploits his weakened defenses. 94 95 96
Relationships
- Tang San — Began as a hotel-room rival, then became a fellow Shrek student and combat ally. Dai Mubai recognizes Tang San's strength, guides him at Shrek, and shows concern when Tang San collapses after the entrance assessment. 32 34 36 Their relationship is severely strained after Tang San's Eight Spider Lances pierce Dai Mubai and drain his White Tiger origin. Though Dai Mubai eventually permits Tang San to remain nearby and use Blue Silver Grass to stabilize his meridians, he explicitly states that he has not forgiven him. 89 92 93
- Xiao Wu — Initially clashes with her during the hotel dispute; later works alongside her to protect Ma Hongjun and fight Bu Le. 31 32 39 50 She defends Tang San when Dai Mubai angrily rejects his attempts to help after the Eight Spider Lances incident. 92 93
- Zhu Zhuqing — Has a complicated prior connection with her. He remains concerned for her safety, while she responds with cold indifference. 34 39 40 After Dai Mubai is injured by the Eight Spider Lances, Zhu Zhuqing tends to him and fiercely holds Tang San accountable, demonstrating her concern despite their strained relationship. 89 90 91
- Ma Hongjun — A senior teammate whom Ma Hongjun calls “Boss Dai.” Dai Mubai attempts to stop his Evil Fire episodes and immediately moves to rescue him after Bu Le's attack. 39 40 49 The two also motivate each other during Master Yu Xiaogang's extreme endurance training. 85 86
- Oscar — Fellow Shrek student who addresses him as “Boss Dai”; Dai Mubai orders Oscar back inside during registration and relies on his recovery sausages for the group. 34 36 Oscar's Recovery Sausages are repeatedly used in Dai Mubai's emergency treatment after the Eight Spider Lances incident. 90
- Ji Yuan — Unaware host of Ji Yuan's White Tiger spores, which drain his blood, vitality, and martial soul origin from within. 32 33 37 Ji Yuan deliberately keeps Dai Mubai alive after draining his origin, covertly returning limited refined essence so that Dai Mubai remains a viable long-term source of White Tiger vitality. 89 91 93
- Yu Tianheng — Rival captain of Emperor Team and possessor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, which Dai Mubai views as a direct challenge to the Evil Eye White Tiger's status. Yu Tianheng exploits Dai Mubai's unstable aura and injured shoulder during their Soul Battle. 94 95 96
- Yu Xiaogang — Teacher who monitors Dai Mubai's condition after the Eight Spider Lances incident. Yu Xiaogang identifies that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass life attribute can temporarily compensate for Dai Mubai's damaged meridians and instructs them to meditate together. 91 92 93
- Flender and Zhao Wuji — Shrek's senior teachers who intervene when Dai Mubai is nearly drained to death, using their Soul Power and Oscar's sausages to preserve his life. 89 90 91
Story Role / Major Arcs
Rose Hotel Conflict
Dai Mubai contests Tang San and Xiao Wu for the Presidential Suite at the Rose Hotel. He overwhelms Tang San in direct strength but ultimately yields the room and challenges Tang San to meet him at Shrek Academy. 31 32
During this clash, Ji Yuan successfully implants secondary spores into Dai Mubai's ankle while he uses White Tiger Vajra Transformation. 32
White Tiger Origin Drain
After the hotel battle, Dai Mubai develops recurring fatigue, weakness, and heavy limbs as Ji Yuan begins drawing on his White Tiger origin. He mistakes the condition for overexertion and personal indulgence rather than an external threat. 32 33
His condition worsens when he drinks from Shrek Academy's contaminated well, allowing waterborne spores to connect with the spores already inside his body. 37
Dai Mubai remains an active but increasingly compromised node in Ji Yuan's Dark Web. Ji Yuan continues taking measured amounts of his blood vitality after the Titan Giant Ape incident, carefully avoiding a drain large enough to alert Zhu Zhuqing or destroy the host. 78
Shrek Academy Admission
Dai Mubai meets Tang San and Xiao Wu again at Shrek Academy, where he escorts them past registration. He reveals Zhao Wuji's Soul Sage cultivation before Tang San's group undertakes the fourth test. 34
After the group passes, Dai Mubai leads the exhausted Tang San and the other new students to the dormitories. 36
Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Incident
Dai Mubai joins Tang San and Xiao Wu in intervening when Ma Hongjun loses control of his Evil Fire at the village entrance. He tries to restrain Xiao Wu from entering the flames and remains prepared to act despite another sudden loss of strength. 40 41
Ambush on Bu Le
When Bu Le beats Ma Hongjun in Suotuo City, Dai Mubai rushes to the alley and helps lure the Soul Ancestor into Tang San's trap. He uses White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Light Wave as part of the team's coordinated assault. 49 50
Soul Fighting Arena Battles
Dai Mubai serves as Shrek's front-line assault fighter in the Soul Fighting Arena. During the battle against the Crazy Team, he withstands Mad Rhino's direct attacks with White Tiger Protective Barrier, capitalizes on Tang San's control network, and defeats Mad Rhino with a White Tiger Radiant Wave. 52 53
Star Dou Great Forest Crisis
Dai Mubai accompanies the Shrek group into the Star Dou Great Forest to secure Oscar's third soul ring. He protects his teammates against Dragon Duke Meng Shu's Soul Power pressure and is later immobilized by the Titan Giant Ape's Gravity Domain. 59 61
After surviving the encounter, he suffers lingering gravity shock and relies on Tang San's Blue Silver Grass during the Dark Web synchronization to ease his injuries. 78
Devil Training and Sparring
During Master Yu Xiaogang's weighted endurance training, Dai Mubai sets the pace despite his heavy load and encourages the other students to continue. 85 86
In a later soul-skill-restricted spar, he forcefully drives his White Tiger bloodline power to break Tang San's Blue Silver Grass restraints. This pressure contributes to the subsequent loss of control by Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. 88
Eight Spider Lances Origin Drain
Tang San's Eight Spider Lances unexpectedly pierce Dai Mubai's right shoulder during sparring. Ji Yuan exploits the wound and Dai Mubai's concentrated White Tiger blood energy to drain a major portion of his White Tiger Royal Origin. 88 89
Dai Mubai collapses after losing blood vitality and martial soul origin. Flender, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other Shrek students work to keep him alive, while Tang San attempts to protect his heart meridians with the Mysterious Heaven Skill. 89 90 91
Ji Yuan secretly returns a minute amount of refined White Tiger essence through Tang San's circulation route, stabilizing Dai Mubai's life while preserving him as a future source of vitality. 91
Compensation and Forced Cooperation
After awakening, Dai Mubai learns that his White Tiger martial soul has been badly damaged and rejects Tang San's attempts to help, fearing another attack by the Eight Spider Lances. 92
He later discovers that Tang San's proximity and Blue Silver Grass aura temporarily restore circulation through his blocked meridians. Though he does not forgive Tang San, he agrees to meditate near him daily because the life aura is necessary for his recovery. 93
Emperor Team Battle
Dai Mubai insists on confronting Emperor Team captain Yu Tianheng, viewing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as a direct rival to the Evil Eye White Tiger. His weakened condition nevertheless leaves him unable to sustain prolonged direct clashes. 94
Yu Tianheng's Dragon Claw and lightning repeatedly breach Dai Mubai's defensive barrier, numb his injured arm, and force Tang San to restrain him from charging recklessly. Dai Mubai continues fighting alongside Zhu Zhuqing and the rest of Shrek despite the aggravated shoulder injury. 95 96 99
After the battle, he remains wary of Tang San's Eight Spider Lances and agrees to further Blue Silver Grass-assisted meditation only because his damaged meridians still require stabilization. 99 100
