Background / History

Dai Mubai is an imperial prince of the Star Luo Empire and Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé. Before Zhu Zhuqing reaches Soto City, he leaves their shared circumstances behind; she considers their relationship ended from the moment he ran away. 30 31

At the Rose Hotel, Dai Mubai arrives accompanied by two girls and tries to claim the last suite by offering double the room rate. He is visibly shocked when he sees Zhu Zhuqing, while her reaction to his behavior is open disgust. 30

When Zhu Zhuqing claims Yun Tian as her man to provoke him, Dai Mubai challenges Yun Tian in the name of a Soul Master. Despite deploying all three of his soul skills, he is decisively defeated by Yun Tian's Earth Tiger Armor and concedes. 31 32 33

He returns to Shrek Academy injured and humiliated, where he reveals that his opponent was a four-ring Soul Ancestor with four purple soul rings. Dai Mubai later encounters Yun Tian again as a Shrek student; although initially resentful, he recognizes the overwhelming difference in their strength and ceases treating him with hostility. 34 42

Appearance

Dai Mubai is a blond youth with mismatched eyes and a wild, unrestrained bearing. He is initially seen in an ostentatious white suit and carrying a folding fan. 30

• Golden-blond hair. 30
• Heterochromatic eyes. 30 31
• Transforms into a larger, fur-covered tiger-like form when using his martial soul. 32
• Develops white fur, tiger stripes, fangs, and a faint “King” marking on his forehead during possession. 32

Personality

Dai Mubai initially presents himself as carefree, frivolous, and accustomed to relying on wealth and status. His conduct at the Rose Hotel exposes his avoidance of the responsibilities tied to Zhu Zhuqing and their engagement. 30 31

He is intensely proud and refuses to back down even when he understands that Yun Tian vastly outclasses him. During their duel, he continues fighting after his first two soul skills fail, using White Tiger Vajra Transformation in an attempt to preserve his dignity. 32

Despite this pride, Dai Mubai can acknowledge defeat. He accepts his loss to Yun Tian, later plainly states that the gap between them is immense, and begins cooperating with Yun Tian in Shrek's team battles. 33 39 53 54
