|---|---|
| Initial Shrek period | Possesses the top-tier Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul, including White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and serves as Shrek's principal assault-type senior student. 31 32 34 |
| Soul Fighting Arena battles | Demonstrates increasing team-combat effectiveness, using White Tiger Protective Barrier to withstand Mad Rhino and finishing him with a White Tiger Radiant Wave during the battle against the Crazy Team. 53 |
| White Tiger bloodline exertion | Draws on the White Tiger martial soul's inherent bloodline power during sparring, forcibly reproducing part of the Vajra Transformation's circulation without activating a soul ring. 88 |

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
Tang San later brings him the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum from Dugu Bo's medicinal garden. Although the herb initially threatens to overload his incomplete White Tiger origin, it restores the origin and repairs the old damage when Tang San prevents him from forcing a dangerous higher-level mutation. 120 130
Following the immortal-herb absorption, Dai Mubai recovers his former cultivation and rises by four additional levels. The restored White Tiger origin allows him to fight continuously with substantially greater endurance than before. 131 161 162
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
- During the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum absorption, his White Tiger phantom turns gold and the previously incomplete patterns on his chest regrow. 130
- His restored White Tiger Soul Power later manifests as brighter golden markings across his hands and body. 131 161
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
Despite his aggression, Dai Mubai can restrain himself when strategy requires it. He follows Tang San's orders not to pursue Spirit Hall-linked attackers, accepts a tactical withdrawal after four consecutive tournament victories, and prioritizes Shrek's overall victory over his desire to defeat every opponent himself. 138 162
He is also driven by the need to grow stronger and escape the threat posed by his family. This determination makes him willing to accept Tang San's assistance and endure painful recovery, but also makes him prone to taking excessive risks in pursuit of power. 93 130 136
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
- The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum later restores his damaged White Tiger Origin, allowing him to regain his lost foundation and advance beyond his prior level. 130 131
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
- After his immortal-herb recovery, he can again maintain possession in extended individual-elimination combat. 161 162
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
- Continues protecting him against agility-type Soul Power daggers during the Advancement Tournament. 161
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
- Following the restoration of his White Tiger origin, he can again activate the skill fully during extended combat. 161
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
- Uses White Tiger Radiant Wave to break through opponents' defenses and remove them from the arena during both the preliminary and Advancement Tournaments. 140 161
White Tiger Meteor Shower
Dai Mubai's fourth soul skill creates numerous concentrated spheres of White Tiger light that bombard a target area. 161
- Uses the skill to defeat Balak Academy captain Luo Fuji after the latter's Raging Bear Earthshaker collapses. 161
- Provides sustained ranged pressure capable of driving a heavily defended opponent off the tournament platform. 161
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
- Acts as Shrek's principal front-line attacker in the Heaven Dou Tournament, breaking opponents out of Tang San's Blue Silver Prison and coordinating with the other attackers to capitalize on openings. 140 143 152
- Opens Shrek's Advancement Tournament campaign, defeats four opponents in succession, and chooses to withdraw strategically rather than overextend himself. 161 162
- Maintains Shrek's formation under Titled Douluo pressure during the Spirit Hall ambush in the gorge, even though his Protective Barrier is immediately overwhelmed. 166
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
- Although the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum restores his White Tiger Origin, attempting to force the herb to evolve his martial soul beyond what his recovered foundation can bear risks causing a clash between old and new origins. 130
- Even after recovery, direct pressure from a Titled Douluo far exceeds the capacity of his White Tiger Protective Barrier. 166
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 Tang San later brings Dai Mubai the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and prevents him from damaging his recovering origin, while Dai Mubai comes to regard Tang San's earlier injury and rescue as debts that have been temporarily balanced. 120 130 131
- 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 They later fight alongside one another as Shrek's front-line attackers and jointly support Tang San during tournament battles. 140 143 152
- 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 Their relationship becomes more cooperative after the immortal-herb transformations, and they support one another as Shrek's principal close-range fighters. 131 136 152
- 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 During the Advancement Tournament, Dai Mubai leaves Ma Hongjun the remaining three Balak Academy opponents after his own four victories. 162
- 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 Ji Yuan later siphons the majority of the new bloodline power generated by Dai Mubai's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, while returning enough energy to preserve his recovery and enhance his tournament endurance. 130 161 162
- 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 He later explains that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum primarily repaired Dai Mubai's damaged foundation rather than safely granting him a complete White Tiger mutation. 130 131
- 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 They continue to supervise his recovery and depend on him as Shrek's senior assault fighter in later competitions. 130 161
- Luo Fuji — Captain of Balak Academy who publicly insults Shrek's uniforms and challenges Dai Mubai before the Advancement Tournament. Dai Mubai defeats him with White Tiger Meteor Shower after winning three prior matches. 160 161
- Huyan Li — Captain of Elephant Armored Academy and a Diamond Mammoth Soul Master. Dai Mubai tests Huyan Li's defenses with White Tiger Radiant Wave and later helps Shrek exploit the collapse of the opposing formation after Tang San weakens Huyan Li's Soul Bone armor. 142 143
- Huo Wushuang — Blazing Fire Academy's primary assault fighter. Dai Mubai confronts him directly and exploits his distraction after Tang San emerges from Huo Wu's fire unharmed. 146
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
Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Recovery
Tang San assigns the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to Dai Mubai after returning from Dugu Bo's medicinal garden. The herb begins restoring the White Tiger Martial Soul damage inflicted by the Eight Spider Lances. 120 130
The restoration initially produces a golden White Tiger phantom and signs of a higher bloodline mutation. Dai Mubai attempts to force the process onward, but Tang San suppresses it after determining that his previously injured origin cannot safely contain the new power. 130
Dai Mubai ultimately recovers his missing White Tiger Origin and gains four Soul Power levels. Though frustrated at first that Ning Rongrong achieves a complete martial-soul evolution while he does not, he accepts that restoring his damaged foundation is itself a major gain. 130 131
Heaven Dou Preliminary Tournament
Dai Mubai travels with Shrek Academy to Heaven Dou City despite the group's shared-origin dependence and Yu Xiaogang's critical condition. He supports Tang San's decision to enter the tournament rather than abandon the academy's goals. 136 138
During the preliminary matches, he resumes his role as Shrek's front-line attacker. He helps overwhelm Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2, tests Huyan Li's Diamond Mammoth defenses, and assists in dismantling Elephant Armored Academy once Tang San disrupts their formation. 140 142 143
He also confronts Huo Wushuang during the match against Blazing Fire Academy and continues leading Shrek's frontal assault through the remaining preliminary victories. 146 152
Advancement Tournament
Dai Mubai is selected as Shrek's opening fighter for the individual-elimination Advancement Tournament because of his high Soul Power, endurance, and direct-combat ability. 158 160
Against Balak Academy, he defeats the defense-type Sun Yan, an agility-type Soul Master, a direct assault-type opponent, and captain Luo Fuji in succession. His residual Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum power awakens through combat, restoring and replenishing his meridians during battle. 161
Although he still retains roughly half his Soul Power after four wins, Dai Mubai voluntarily withdraws and leaves the remaining opponents to Ma Hongjun, demonstrating improved tactical restraint. 162
He continues serving as a core combatant as Shrek wins the Advancement Tournament and qualifies for the finals in Spirit City. 162 164
Spirit Hall Ambush and Finals Preparation
During Spirit Hall's ambush in the gorge, Dai Mubai attempts to shield Shrek's formation with White Tiger Protective Barrier, but Chrysanthemum Douluo's Titled Douluo pressure immediately crushes the defense. 166
After arriving in Spirit City, he participates in the intensified training ordered by Yu Xiaogang. His White Tiger Soul Power becomes the first stream transmitted through Shrek's seven-person Soul Power synchronization formation, which is intended to empower Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer against Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. 168 169 170
