Power Progression

Background / History

Imperial upbringing and flight

Dai Mubai grew up under Star Luo’s succession system, which forced outstanding imperial children to compete against their siblings. Betrothed from childhood to Zhu Zhuqing of the Hell Spirit Cat clan, he faced his elder brother Dai Weisi, while Zhu Zhuqing faced her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun. He cultivated desperately but eventually fled, believing his brother’s age advantage made victory impossible 94 99 272.

His Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul marked him as a member of Star Luo’s imperial family, making admission to academies in the rival Heaven Dou Empire difficult. Shrek Academy nevertheless accepted him as an applicant 94 95.

Admission to Shrek Academy

Dai Mubai’s first day exposed both his talent and his arrogance. He scattered Gold Soul Coins to disrupt the admission queue, then demanded a match after overhearing Leng Xiyue suggest she might accidentally cripple him. Although both were rank 31, she defeated him without activating her martial soul, using a branch before kicking him out of the ring. He acknowledged his loss and prepared to leave, but she declared that he had passed 94 95.

At the welcoming banquet, he questioned Qin Menglan’s qualifications and accused the academy of favoritism. She answered by firing her self-made Soul Tool past his cheek, demonstrating that she could have killed him. He stormed away but remained at the academy, returning to lessons and joining Oscar under Zhao Wuji’s tenfold-gravity training 95 96.

Renewed purpose and Northern Land training

Leng Xiyue confronted Dai Mubai about abandoning his fiancée and warned him about the fate Zhu Zhuqing could suffer without his support. She argued that a genuine bond could strengthen their Martial Soul Fusion Skill enough to overcome their older siblings. He resolved to cultivate seriously and contact his fiancée if his family reached him 99.

Dai Mubai subsequently participated in the Jiuzhou Empire’s war of independence and spent several months surviving in the Far North with Oscar and Ma Hongjun. These experiences hardened the three into unusually capable young fighters. He also developed his self-created sword technique in the Northern Land 156.

Arena battles and conflict with Yu Xiaogang

By the time the newer students joined Shrek, Dai Mubai had become an established Great Soul Arena competitor, with a record of 105 wins and twelve losses. His rivalry with Oscar drew a packed audience. Despite wounding Oscar and attempting a decisive mutual-injury exchange, Dai Mubai lost their featured duel and conceded 161.

When Yu Xiaogang began teaching at Shrek, Dai Mubai challenged his uninformed assessment of the students. He quickly defeated Tang San, then sparred against several classmates. Afterward, he rejected Yu Xiaogang’s demand that he treat his friends like enemies, arguing that suitable stronger opponents—not ruthless attacks on his own companions—would provide meaningful training 176 177 178 179.

As Shrek’s captain, he helped lead the team to victory over the Imperial Fighting Team in less than a minute. Oscar’s Mirror Sausages allowed the others to reproduce his combat form and sword technique, multiplying the team’s offensive power 183 185 186.

Continental tournament

Oscar later surpassed Dai Mubai in Soul Power and became captain, leaving Dai Mubai as vice-captain of Jiuzhou Heaven Dou Imperial Academy’s second team. The two remained central to the team’s prospects against stronger tournament opponents 238 239.

Against Victoria Academy, Dai Mubai defeated Tie Yu, Ling Feng, and Hong Yu using his custom armor and enhanced attacks. Li Yixue then exhausted him with regenerating Snow Condensation Grass whose freezing and slowing properties prevented him from closing the distance 260 261.

The finals brought him face-to-face with Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. Dai Mubai declared that he no longer wanted Star Luo’s throne: his goal was to fight alongside Zhu Zhuqing and overcome their childhood fears. Supported by stacked team enhancements, the pair formed the Hell White Tiger against their siblings’ drug-enhanced Hell Black Demon Tiger 272 273.

Dai Mubai ultimately dissolved the fusion and attacked the enemy tiger directly with his armor and conjured weapons. He endured its crushing grip until it collapsed, then knocked both opponents out of the arena before collapsing himself. Although his wounds were subsequently healed, he reported that circulating his Soul Power caused lingering evil energy inside him to expand 273 274.

Uprising in Star Luo

After the tournament, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing returned to Star Luo under Leng Xiyue’s instructions. His first attack on armed guards demonstrated the danger of modern firearms: bullets penetrated his defenses, and a Soul King captain badly wounded him 287 288.

Dai Mubai then planned to infiltrate an Earl’s fortress disguised as the guard captain. With Li Mengdie and the other girls supporting him, he killed the Earl using a captured Dragon Flame Cannon and destroyed the bridge to the Inner City. Once the fortress was secured, Li Mengdie rallied more than 120 enslaved people while Dai Mubai organized weapons, defenses, food supplies, and radar surveillance 289 290 291.

Territorial rule and war

Dai Mubai converted the fortress into a settlement, assigned housing and work, and established a fifty-person personal guard. Officers trained his growing army using Miho Nishizumi’s Military Training Guide. He then marched with two thousand soldiers to seize the remaining earldom 295.

By abolishing taxes and forced labor while purchasing surplus grain, he won support from farmers and townspeople. His forces occupied the earldom’s five towns, and its remaining army fled. The Jiuzhou Empire effectively guaranteed his territory’s independence by warning that attacks on its valuable equipment would be treated as a declaration of war 296.

His territory later exported energy bottles and industrial components compatible with Jiuzhou products, exchanging manufactured goods for grain and immigrants. Over the following years, his army became mechanized, fielding tanks and self-propelled artillery. With one hundred thousand elite troops and at least three hundred thousand additional potential fighters at home, he launched a rapid offensive that seized two provinces in a single day 297 328.

When Star Luo forces poisoned Gengxin City, survivors led by Lou Gao fled toward Dai Mubai’s territory. Dai Mubai lamented his inability to rescue its people in time and witnessed Leng Xiyue’s announcement that the Jiuzhou Empire would wage war against Star Luo 329.

Appearance

Dai Mubai initially appears presentable and aristocratic; later training gives him a tall, powerfully built physique 94 176.

• Eyes: Shares the distinctive “evil eyes” associated with his elder brother Dai Weisi 272.
• Family resemblance: Dai Weisi bears a seventy-to-eighty-percent resemblance to him 272.
• Transformed appearance: White Tiger Vajra Transformation enlarges his muscles and covers his body in golden markings 161.

Personality

Dai Mubai initially combines aristocratic entitlement with a fierce sensitivity to humiliation. He dismisses the admission crowd, lashes out after losing to Leng Xiyue, and challenges Qin Menglan’s place at Shrek. Nevertheless, he accepts his defeat in the admission match and proves willing to endure demanding physical training 94 95 96.

His early political views reflect Star Luo’s slaveholding royal culture. He initially condemns famine refugees as traitors and regards enslaved people as imperial property. Hearing a young woman’s account of life in Star Luo begins to unsettle that outlook, giving Leng Xiyue reason to believe he can develop compassion 96 97 99.

His temper remains strong, but he learns to distinguish enemies from companions. He treats fellow students as brothers and sisters, refuses to injure them merely to satisfy a teacher, and prioritizes the survival of the girls assisting his uprising 176 179 290.

His Northern Land experiences also change his ambitions. Rather than inherit Star Luo’s existing order, he comes to prefer building a new nation for its people. By the tournament finals, he rejects identification with a state that continues to defend slavery 272.

Hell White Tiger

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing combine their martial souls into the Hell White Tiger. Leng Xiyue identifies their emotional bond as a key factor in the fusion’s strength 99 273.

• Under stacked team enhancements, Dai Mubai temporarily reaches high Soul King-level Soul Power, while their fused form reaches Soul Emperor strength 273.
• These are externally supported combat increases, not permanent cultivation breakthroughs 273.
• Their fusion can be dismissed tactically, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to evade while Dai Mubai attacks independently 273.
• Against the Hell Black Demon Tiger, they require further strength and speed enhancements to compensate for the enemy’s drug-induced advantages 273.

• Survival experience: Has fought dangerous opponents in the Northern Land and killed numerous fierce tigers in the Far North 177 273.
• Swordsmanship: Admits that his hand-to-hand proficiency falls short of Liu Qinghan’s swordsmanship; her close pressure can prevent him from safely activating enhancement skills 178 179.
• Endurance limits: Repeated major attacks drain his Soul Power, leaving him vulnerable to sustained control tactics 260 261.
• Defensive limits: Concentrated gunfire can penetrate his protective aura and inflict serious injuries despite his cultivation 288.
