Background and History
Dai Huabin is a legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. He entered Shrek's freshman tournament intent on winning the championship and restoring the White Tiger Clan's glory. In the final, Huo Yuhao broke through his defenses and challenged him to use Hell White Tiger, his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Lu. Huo's Imperial Arrows dispersed the fusion, leaving Dai's team as runner-up 18 19 20 21.
His defeat hardened his hatred of Huo. Dai hired assassins to kill him; when confronted with their statements, he denied responsibility and falsely accused his older brother Dai Yueheng of ordering the attack. Huo demanded compensation and a public confession, refusing the family's offers to settle the matter privately 33 37 38 42.
After Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance, empowered him, Dai attacked Lionheart Club members in the Soul Fighting Arena. Huo defeated him there but found that a chest wound closed rapidly. Dai later became Yan Shaozhe's disciple and led the White Tiger Alliance 42 43 44 55.
During the Death God Destruction Explosion, Phantylia seized Dai's Abundance-blessed body and crushed his consciousness. She continued to appear as Dai Huabin, including during Shrek's tournament matches. After the body disappeared at the Sea God Pavilion, the White Tiger Alliance collapsed 68 94 109 142.
Appearance
Dai's Abundance-transformed Martial Soul Possession gives him a gilded, predatory appearance 43.
- Eyes: Eerie green-gold slit pupils 43.
- Markings: A dark-gold tiger stripe on his brow and gilded patterns across his body 43.
- Claws and Martial Soul: Pale-gold claws and an enlarged White Tiger phantom with dark-gold markings 43.
Personality
Dai places enormous importance on his status, White Tiger bloodline, and Martial Soul. He reacts furiously when Huo Yuhao mocks them and refuses to accept defeat in the freshman final. Under pressure in the assassination investigation, he tries to shift blame to his brother 19 21 37.
The Power of Abundance magnifies his arrogance and ferocity. By contrast, the later figure wearing Dai's face speaks with detached amusement—a change Huo recognizes as evidence of Phantylia's possession 56 94.
