History

Choosing the Sole Heir

Dai Xiu was overseeing family affairs at the White Tiger Lineage’s ancestral grounds outside Star Luo City when Dai Tianxiong brought news of Dai Tianfeng’s awakening. After witnessing the boy’s White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat Martial Souls, he ordered everyone present to keep the discovery secret, fearing the family’s enemies—particularly Spirit Hall 2.

He immediately declared Tianfeng the sole heir to both the White Tiger Lineage and the Star Luo throne. Although he had known something of Tianfeng’s neglect in the palace, he had previously dismissed it as Dai Mian’s family business. Regretting that indifference, he summoned the emperor, slapped him for failing to recognize his own son, and reaffirmed that no other prince could inherit the throne 2 3.

Guiding Tianfeng’s Cultivation

Dai Xiu recommended cultivating the White Tiger first because Star Luo’s heir traditionally possessed that Martial Soul; publicly using the Hell Spirit Cat would invite suspicion. He initially urged Tianfeng to follow the clan’s established Soul Ring sequence, but accepted the boy’s determination to develop a new path 5.

When Tianfeng claimed that Whale Rubber could strengthen the body, Dai Xiu refused to let him experiment on himself. He tested Thousand-Year Whale Rubber on three loyal Soul Masters of different ages and cultivation levels, confirmed its benefits, and sought imperial assistance to purchase supplies before the secret spread 5 6.

He then supplied Tianfeng with Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, but underestimated its much stronger side effects. When the boy developed dangerous heat, Dai Xiu directed Dai Mian to obtain ice- and water-type Soul Masters, who cooled him for a day and night. After Tianfeng recovered, he arranged for a thousand-year Holy Light Tiger to become the boy’s first Soul Ring 6 7.

Dai Xiu was initially disappointed by Light Element Control’s apparent lack of killing power and warned Tianfeng about the difficulty of creating original Soul Skills. His concern turned to elation when Tianfeng revealed that he could perform Hell White Tiger alone with a 100 percent fusion rate 8.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Alliance

Dai Xiu proposed Ning Rongrong as Tianfeng’s prospective wife, aiming to win the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect away from its close association with the Heaven Dou Empire. He judged that securing the wealthy sect’s support justified revealing Tianfeng’s abilities to its leadership 9.

Accompanied by Tianfeng and Zhu Na, he visited Ning Fengzhi and requested the marriage. Ning Fengzhi initially resisted, but accepted after learning that Tianfeng possessed Twin Martial Souls, innate full soul power, and a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill 10 11.

Dai Xiu also urged the sect to relocate to Star Luo, arguing that Heaven Dou was fragmented and heavily infiltrated by Spirit Hall. Ning Fengzhi rejected an immediate move because of the sect’s established roots and the losses relocation would cause. After Dai Xiu explained Whale Rubber’s cultivation benefits, Ning Fengzhi proposed cooperating with the White Tiger Lineage to purchase it 11 12.

When conflict between Tianfeng and Rongrong drew the adults’ attention, Dai Xiu blocked Gu Rong from approaching Tianfeng, and their Super Douluo auras clashed. After Ning Fengzhi established that Rongrong had instigated the trouble, Dai Xiu helped smooth over the confrontation and resumed their discussions 15 16.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Dai Xiu agreed to investigate the Sunset Forest after Tianfeng claimed to feel something drawing him there. He shielded himself and Tianfeng with Soul Power while crossing Dugu Bo’s poisonous barrier, reaching the valley containing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 18.

After Tianfeng consumed two Immortal Herbs and entered the spring, Dai Xiu nearly followed him. His instincts warned that entering would kill him, so he remained outside and monitored the boy’s life force with spiritual power 19 20.

Dugu Bo’s arrival led to a confrontation over the stripped herb garden and the visitors’ refusal to leave immediately. Dai Xiu overwhelmed him without activating his Martial Soul Avatar, shattering Dugu Bo’s avatar with White Tiger Annihilation Kill. Tianfeng emerged before Dugu Bo could unleash his eighth and ninth Soul Skills, and Dai Xiu stopped fighting 20 21.

Although initially skeptical that Heaven Dou’s guest elder could be recruited willingly, Dai Xiu assisted Tianfeng’s proposed treatment for Dugu Bo’s self-poisoning. He spent six hours guiding the toxins into Dugu Bo’s Medusa Head Soul Bone. Following his recovery, Dugu Bo pledged loyalty to the Star Luo Imperial Family 21 22.

Dai Xiu subsequently considered the possible recruitment of the Nine Heart Begonia lineage worth the expense of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, recognizing the battlefield value of its healing abilities 23.

Personality

Dai Xiu places the White Tiger Lineage’s future above established rules. He bypasses the imperial succession contest for Tianfeng, mobilizes imperial resources to secure Whale Rubber, and pursues a marriage alliance with a sect aligned with a rival empire. His willingness to innovate has limits: he initially favors the ancestral Soul Ring path and doubts the practicality of Tianfeng’s plans for self-created skills 2 5 6 8 9.

His affection for Tianfeng is both protective and openly partial. He prevents untested experimentation, prepares to interrupt a dangerous Soul Ring absorption, and immediately assumes Tianfeng is not at fault during the dispute with Rongrong. Against opponents, he is overbearing and enjoys combat, laughing during his fight with Dugu Bo 6 7 16 21.
