Background / History

White Tiger Household

Dai Huabin is a legitimate son of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao and the White Tiger Duchess. His mother repeatedly covers up his misconduct and favors him over his older brother, Dai Yueheng, as the future duke. She arranges his engagement to Zhu Lu of the Hell Spirit Cat Estate to strengthen his succession prospects 51 128.

Within the mansion, Dai Huabin bullies Huo Yuhao and orders subordinates to abuse Huo Yun’er. The mistreatment leaves her gravely ill and physically depleted, contributing to her death. These acts make him one of the principal targets of Huo Yuhao’s revenge 51 52 208.

Shrek Enrollment

Dai Huabin arrives at Shrek Academy with Zhu Lu in a carriage drawn by three white tigers. They bypass the admissions queue without opposition from the applicants or teachers. When Huo Yuhao’s Six-Winged Angel Phantom Body refuses to move, Dai Huabin insults him, releases his White Tiger Martial Soul, and attacks with lethal intent 51 52.

Huo Yuhao takes control of the phantom body and overwhelms him. He crushes Dai Huabin’s manifested claws and punches apart his White Tiger Fierce Light Wave at close range. The resulting explosion badly injures Dai Huabin’s face; a final kick leaves him unconscious and near death 52 53.

Dai Huabin’s servants carry him to the infirmary. Despite his family’s influence, Du Weilun protects Huo Yuhao, arguing that Dai Huabin started the confrontation and valuing the attacker’s god-level martial soul 54.

Freshman Assessment

After the gate incident, Dai Huabin develops an intense hatred of the Six-Winged Angel clone. He spends three months cultivating obsessively and consuming pills, then faces the clone’s team in the Freshman Assessment final 109.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu deploy their Hell White Tiger fusion, but Molo holds it back. Enraged, Dai Huabin drains his own soul power, blood energy, and life force to increase its strength. He also tries to draw on Zhu Lu’s life force, but she refuses 110.

The angel clone wears down the fusion with aerial sword attacks before shattering it with Angel Seal. Zhu Lu faints from the backlash, while Dai Huabin is left exhausted, with depleted life force and much of his hair turned white. The clone again pins his head beneath a foot; Dai Huabin loses consciousness in rage 110 111.

Injury and Succession Crisis

Dai Huabin later travels with Shrek’s tournament delegation to the Western Group Army. He publicly addresses Dai Hao as “Father,” prompting a rebuke: in the military camp, he must acknowledge his father’s official position instead 115 116.

By the time Dai Hao summons Shrek’s survivors, Dai Huabin has suffered injuries that leave him permanently unable to father children. Dai Hao considers him no longer worth nurturing as a successor and pays ten witnesses 100,000 Gold Soul Coins each to sign nondisclosure agreements 125.

Huo Yuhao learns the secret through his clone and has the Rain Alliance spread it throughout Star Luo Imperial City and surrounding regions. The scandal damages the duke’s reputation and sends the Duchess into denial and rage 125 127 128.

Still recovering, Dai Huabin cannot compete with Shrek’s remaining tournament team. Zhu Lu’s family begins reconsidering the marriage arrangement, while she seeks Dai Yueheng’s attention. Dai Hao subsequently excludes both legitimate sons from succession after learning that they concealed the truth about Huo Yun’er and her son, choosing Dai Luoli as his intended heir instead 145 146.

Palace Confrontation and Death

Dai Huabin receives treatment from Medicine Immortal Douluo Wang Xian’er in the Star Luo imperial palace. Huo Yuhao infiltrates the palace with the Blade of Life and Dark Demon Evil God Tiger robots, suppresses its defenders, and conceals the operation before waking him 153 155.

Believing the palace and his family connections guarantee his safety, Dai Huabin insults Huo Yuhao and threatens to have his clan exterminated. Huo Yuhao stabs his lower leg and forces him to hear a story recounting the abuse of Huo Yun’er and her son. Recognizing the accusation, Dai Huabin becomes terrified and begs for mercy 156 157.

The Blade of Life heals his wounds, briefly restoring his hope. Dai Huabin immediately considers having his mother mobilize the Dai and Zhu families against Huo Yuhao. Instead, Huo Yuhao continues torturing him, ultimately inflicting death by three thousand cuts. Dai Hao finds the White Tiger Dagger embedded in his chest 157 158 159.

Appearance

Dai Huabin is initially described as a handsome boy with short black hair and a somewhat sinister gaze 51.

• White Tiger possession: His hair becomes black and white and stands on end; a “king” character appears on his forehead, his muscles swell, and he grows a full head taller 51.
• Facial injuries: His own shattered light-wave attack badly damages his face during the enrollment confrontation 52 53.
• Premature whitening: Much of his hair turns white after he sacrifices life force during the Freshman Assessment final 110.

Personality

Dai Huabin is arrogant, class-conscious, and accustomed to impunity. He regards applicants waiting in line as beneath him and assumes nobody he encounters can possess a background stronger than his own. His mother’s willingness to cover up his misconduct reinforces his readiness to attack anyone who displeases him 51.

His ambition centers on surpassing Dai Yueheng and inheriting the dukedom. Defeat makes him obsessive rather than cautious: after his first humiliation, he abandons classroom attendance for frantic cultivation, then sacrifices his vitality when his fusion skill fails to dominate the assessment final 51 109 110.

His ruthlessness extends to Zhu Lu, whose life force he attempts to use for victory. Yet his confidence collapses when neither rank nor family can protect him. During the palace confrontation, he shifts from threats to pleading, only to resume planning retaliation when healing gives him hope of escape 110 156 157.
