Background / History

Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire and was engaged to Zhu Zhuqing in childhood. His older brother, Dai Weisi, held an advantage in age despite Mubai’s considerable talent. Qin Muchu attributes Mubai’s tendency to yield to stronger people to years of being dominated by his brother 19 21 46.

Mubai left home when Zhu Zhuqing was eight. He later explains that overwhelming pressure drove him away, and that he believed leaving would spare her difficulties within her family. After reaching Shrek Academy, he largely gave up on himself and engaged in behavior he later regretted 64.

By Qin Muchu and Xiao Wu’s entrance examination, Mubai has attended Shrek for three years. His family also provides funding that helps keep the financially struggling academy open for that enrollment season 23 24.

Appearance

Mubai first appears as a blond young man with conspicuously mismatched eyes, accompanied by two women at the Rose Hotel 20.

• Mismatched eyes: His most immediately recognizable facial feature 20.
• White Tiger transformation: Martial Soul Possession enlarges his muscles and hands, produces white fur and tiger stripes, and turns his nails into sharp claws 20 59.
• Clawed close-combat form: His transformed hands are used to intercept Zhu Zhuqing’s rapid claw attacks 60.

Personality

Mubai initially behaves arrogantly toward Qin Muchu and Xiao Wu, demanding their hotel room and dismissing Xiao Wu’s ability. After she defeats him, he suppresses his hostility, bows politely, and acknowledges her strength. Qin Muchu interprets this reversal as an ingrained habit of bullying the weak while fearing the strong 20 21.

Within Shrek, he is a helpful senior who explains admissions, introduces classmates, and takes pride in the academy’s refusal to lower its standards. He also intervenes when Ma Hongjun antagonizes Qin Muchu, urging an apology and preventing the dispute from escalating further 22 24 27.

His temper becomes dangerous when Ning Rongrong mocks his failed reconciliation with Zhu Zhuqing. He makes sexually violent threats and knocks Rongrong away with Soul Power, then apologizes only after Qin Muchu and Xiao Wu insist. Once calm, he recognizes that he went too far 57 58.

Mubai later admits his mistakes to Qin Muchu and seeks advice rather than relying on his reputation as a successful womanizer. During special training, he begins demonstrating dependability by helping Zhu Zhuqing regain her footing and warning the others about hazardous terrain 64 66.

Abilities & Skills

White Tiger Martial Soul

• Martial Soul Possession: Increases his physical size and equips him with tiger claws for close combat 20 59.
• Physical strength: Mubai considers his White Tiger Martial Soul among the strongest at his level in raw strength 20.
• Limit: Xiao Wu’s opening punch drives him backward even before she reveals her four-ring Soul Ancestor cultivation 20.

White Tiger Protection Barrier

• Creates a white shield of light that completely surrounds his body 59.
• Withstands Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix Fire Line during the internal team battle, though the impact forces Mubai backward and visibly weakens the barrier 60.

White Tiger Fierce Light Wave

• His second Soul Skill releases a beam or wave of light from his mouth 20 60.
• Used in his successful one-on-one arena match 31.
• Can miss mobile opponents: Xiao Wu evades it with Instant Teleportation, while an agility-boosted Ma Hongjun dodges it during team practice 20 60.

Combat Experience and Team Defense

• Arena experience: Explains badge ranks, point requirements, and the difficulty of maintaining winning streaks. His reported record is ten wins and fifteen losses, leaving him at −5 points 28 29.
• Support protection: Repeatedly returns to defend Oscar when Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun threaten him 59 60 61.
• Tactical limitation: Protecting Oscar prevents him from pursuing openings against either attacker. Losing a Recovery Sausage to Ma Hongjun further undermines his endurance 61.
• Lesson learned: Flender rejects his complaint about unequal odds, emphasizing that real opponents will exploit every available advantage 62.

Equipment / Items

• Shared House-Type Soul Tool accommodation — Qin Muchu provides a portable house for Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun to share, replacing their dilapidated dormitory lodging 49 50.
• Flying Sausage — Receives Oscar’s flight-granting food during the internal team battle 61.
• Named iron weight pack — Wears an individually assigned load during the Furnace’s body-tempering exercises, with Soul Power sealed and tenfold gravity applied 64 65.

Relationships

• Zhu Zhuqing — Childhood fiancée. His departure and subsequent womanizing leave her deeply disappointed; she initially refuses his attempts to reconnect. After seeking advice, he helps her during a dangerous river crossing, earning a quiet thanks but not a confirmed reconciliation 46 51 64 66.
• Dai Weisi — Older brother whose age advantage and domination contribute to Mubai’s fear and decision to leave home 21 46.
• Qin Muchu — Initially an opponent in the Rose Hotel dispute, later a classmate and trusted adviser. Mubai admires his strength and wealth, accepts his demand to apologize to Rongrong, and privately asks him how to rebuild trust with Zhu Zhuqing 20 26 57 64.
• Xiao Wu — Defeats him at their first meeting. He subsequently treats her respectfully, while she remains critical of his abandonment of Zhu Zhuqing and supports holding him accountable for attacking Rongrong 20 21 50 57.
• Oscar — Familiar classmate whom he teases about sausage-making. During the internal battle, Mubai protects him as the team’s vulnerable Food-System Soul Master 24 59 61.
• Ma Hongjun — Classmate whose early misconduct Mubai helps resolve. Later fights against him in team practice, where Ma enjoys challenging his usual authority 27 60 62.
• Ning Rongrong — Their argument escalates into threats and a Soul Power attack. Qin Muchu secures apologies from both; after the team battle, they resume exchanging a few words 57 62.
• Flender — Dean whose demanding standards Mubai openly admires. Flender challenges his excuses after team practice and places him in the Furnace training program 24 62 64.
• Zhao Wuji — Teacher whose strength and reputation Mubai explains to new applicants. Mubai witnesses Qin Muchu and Xiao Wu force Zhao to use his Martial Soul Avatar 23.
