Background / History

Star Luo childhood

Dai Mubai was born the reigning Star Luo king’s third daughter. While princes competed to the death for succession, princesses could neither inherit the throne nor determine their own futures. Dai rejected the political marriage or submission expected of her and resented being denied autonomy because she was a woman 38.

She became the protector of a shy, black-haired girl sent to the imperial household by a noble family to become a prince’s concubine. Recognizing their shared lack of freedom, Dai defended the girl against abuse, sometimes scratching and biting her attackers. After an incident involving fire and chaos, Dai awoke outside the city and was told the girl had died 38.

Rose Hotel confrontation

At the Rose Hotel, Dai attempted to claim the remaining rooms ahead of Tang San and Xiao Wu. The hotel’s suggestive setting and Xiao Wu’s remark about Li Hanqiu buying whale rubber convinced her that their teacher was exploiting them. Her accusations provoked Tang San into attacking 22.

Although stronger in direct combat, Dai was outmaneuvered by Tang San’s Blue Silver Spider Silk and parasitic seeds. His bindings drained her soul power and nearly strangled her. Li Hanqiu and Holy Light Ao destroyed the bindings, saving her life; afterward, she used White Tiger Vajra Transformation to retreat rather than continue fighting 22 24.

Reunion with Zhu Zhuqing

Dai wanted to face Tang San again during Shrek’s admission assessment, but Flender replaced her with Zhao Wuji. Hearing Zhu Zhuqing name her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul stirred recognition, which Dai suppressed because she believed “Little Qing” was dead 27 28.

Li Hanqiu’s account of Zhu Zhuqing’s childhood memories unsettled Dai. She secretly followed his group to the Great Soul Arena and nearly intervened when Zhu was endangered. Watching Li protect Zhu made her reconsider her hostility toward him 38 39.

Dai then volunteered as Zhu’s doubles partner. Their instinctive coordination defeated an experienced pair of twins, prompting Li to arrange a conversation in the Wisteria Grove. Zhu recognized Dai as “Sister Mu,” and the two embraced in tears. Dai revealed that she had searched for Zhu for years 40 41.

Acknowledging that she had misjudged Li, Dai asked to become his disciple so she could study alongside Zhu and continue protecting her. Li accepted, and Dai publicly defended her new teacher against Yu Xiaogang’s slander the next morning 41 42.

All Living Beings Secret Realm

Early friction with Ning Rongrong culminated in a failed training match: Rongrong withheld support, leaving Dai overwhelmed by Tang San and Xiao Wu. Their relationship changed inside the secret realm when Dai rescued Rongrong from attackers. Rongrong apologized, and the pair subsequently fought together effectively, with her strength and speed boosts supporting Dai’s frontline attacks 44 45 63 65.

After reuniting with Zhu, Dai encountered her older brother Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. The older pair underestimated them, but Dai and Zhu defeated them through coordinated attacks. When another Soul Ancestor threatened the exhausted duo, Dai restored her reserves through her Soul Mark and killed him with her golden greatsword technique 70 71.

Under interrogation, Dai Weisi admitted that he and Zhu Zhuyun had arranged Dai’s removal, sold Zhu Zhuqing to the border, and falsely reported Zhu’s death. Dai rejected him as her brother, renounced the Star Luo Empire, and instructed Zhu to finish him. Following Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun’s deaths, she recognized that she could finally live on her own terms 71 72.

Appearance

• Build and features: Tall, with an exquisitely sculpted face and long blond hair, often worn in a high ponytail 28 38 40 42.
• Eyes: Mismatched red and blue eyes; her White Tiger Soul Mark manifests within her eyes 39 41 71.
• Martial Soul Possession: Pale golden light surrounds her, her nails lengthen by half an inch, and her pupils become vertical slits 22.
• Vajra Transformation: Her hair, nails, and pupils gain a brighter golden sheen beneath a pale-gold white tiger phantom 24.

Personality

Dai Mubai is proud, confrontational, and exceptionally stubborn. She objects forcefully to losing her examiner role and initially interprets Li Hanqiu’s offer of training as an improper advance. Her suspicion of men is rooted in the coercion she experienced within the Star Luo imperial household 28 37 38 41.

Her protectiveness is more enduring than her hostility. She defended Zhu Zhuqing as a child, secretly followed her to ensure her safety, and later rescued Ning Rongrong despite their previous arguments. She often disguises concern with brusque words or claims that she is acting only for her teacher’s sake 38 39 63.

Dai can admit fault once convinced of someone’s sincerity. Her reunion with Zhu exposes a deeply emotional side beneath her pride, while her acceptance of Li’s mentorship marks a willingness to replace inherited expectations with choices of her own 41 71 72.

Abilities & Skills

Evil-Eyed White Tiger

A pure-blooded, metal-natured martial soul whose strengths lie in assault, domination, and breaking enemy formations 71.

• White Tiger Possession: Enhances Dai’s physical combat and produces claws, slit pupils, and golden soul light 22 40.
• Frontline fighting: Uses powerful punches and direct charges to occupy opponents while allies attack exposed positions 40 70.
• Training direction: Li Hanqiu criticizes her inherited emphasis on defense and teaches her to exploit the White Tiger’s offensive potential 71.

White Tiger Protection Barrier

Dai’s first soul skill, which she regards as the foundation of her defense 71.

• Li argues that relying on such protection wastes the martial soul’s natural aptitude for attack 71.

White Tiger Vajra Transformation

Dai’s third soul skill manifests a white tiger phantom and intensifies her golden transformation 24.

• Dai considers it a major advantage against opponents of comparable strength 28.
• Tang San’s soul-power draining prevents her from sustaining it for long after the hotel fight 24.
• A later training flashback calls her third skill White Tiger Demon God Transformation 71.

White Tiger Soul Mark

A technique taught within Li Hanqiu’s school, initially introduced to Dai and Zhu by Tang San and Xiao Wu 43.

• First used in a training match after Dai masters the cultivation method 45.
• Restores her exhausted soul power to its peak during the confrontation with Dai Weisi’s ally 71.
• Does not eliminate the cost of powerful attacks: her subsequent greatsword strike nearly drains her again 71.

Formless Heavenly Astral Force

Li Hanqiu teaches Dai to compress and reshape her soul power into a golden, milky-white force founded on the White Tiger’s Gengjin power 71.

• Condenses into a huge golden greatsword for a decisive offensive strike 71.
• Kills an attacker estimated at level 48 or 49 with one blow 71.

Team Combat

Martial Soul Avatar Armor Training

• Studies the armor technique alongside Li’s other disciples, but the group has made little progress with it by the secret realm’s unveiling 53.

Relationships

• Zhu Zhuqing — Childhood ward, younger-sister figure, and trusted combat partner. Their reunion restores the bond Dai believed lost; their connection is described as sisterly, while Zhu’s childhood origin is given as a noble family rather than the imperial family 38 40 41.
• Li Hanqiu — Teacher. Dai initially brands him a predator, then accepts his sincerity after witnessing his protection of Zhu. He teaches her Soul Mark cultivation and her strongest documented offensive technique 22 39 41 71.
• Tang San — Initial opponent and later senior fellow disciple. Their hotel fight nearly kills Dai; after joining Li’s school, she pointedly greets Tang as her senior, unsettling him 22 24 42.
• Xiao Wu — Senior fellow disciple and sparring opponent. Xiao Wu tries to stop Tang San from killing Dai and later apologizes for kicking her too hard during training 24 42 45.
• Ning Rongrong — Initially an antagonistic teammate. Dai’s rescue prompts Rongrong’s apology, leading to effective cooperation in the secret realm 44 45 63 65.
• Dai Weisi — Older brother and betrayer. His confession reveals his role in separating Dai from Zhu; Dai disowns him before ordering his execution 70 71.
• Zhu Zhuyun — Participant in the childhood betrayal. Dai Weisi attributes the scheme to her; she and Dai Weisi are killed after their defeat 71 72.
• Yu Xiaogang — Attempts to exploit Dai’s prejudice against Li through rumors. Dai instead rejects his teaching and publicly exposes her allegiance to Li 37 42.
