Power Progression

Background / History

Forest Rescue and Tang Sect Membership

Huo Yutong previously lived at the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion. She later considers even Shrek Academy’s crowded facilities an improvement over her life there 35.

She enters the Star Dou Great Forest alone to obtain a Soul Ring, but collapses before leaving the area inhabited by Ten-Year Soul Beasts. Jiang Wu and Jiang Nannan find and help her. Upon waking, she mistakes Jiang Wu for her mother and apologizes for calling him “Mom” 19.

Tang Ya warns her against entering the forest alone, while Jiang Wu defends her reluctance to explain her circumstances. His reassurance and head pats remind her of her mother. When Tang Ya subsequently invites the group into the Tang Sect, Huo Yutong is surprised that she is welcome and firmly accepts 20 21.

Enrollment and Grilled-Fish Stall

Tang Ya gives Huo Yutong the Tang Sect’s examination-exempt admission slot to Shrek Academy. After enrolling, she is assigned to share a dormitory with Wang Dong’er 22 24.

With very little money, Huo Yutong operates a grilled-fish stall outside Shrek City’s east gate. She refuses Wang Dong’er’s offer of financial help, prompting her friends to support the stall as customers instead 25 29.

A dispute breaks out when Xu Sanshi reaches for a fish that another customer has already bought, and Huo Yutong strikes his hand with her tongs. Jiang Wu challenges him to settle the matter, wins, and gives Huo Yutong the Mystic Water Pill obtained as the wager. She stores it rather than immediately deciding whether to use or sell it 29 30.

Early Academy Life

Huo Yutong initially struggles with Shrek’s physical demands, completing Zhou Yi’s hundred-lap assignment with Wang Dong’er’s help at Jiang Wu’s prompting 33.

She is present when the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao approaches the group at Sea God Lake. Frightened by the heat and worried for Jiang Wu, she watches him subdue the attacker. Afterward, his encouragement about her spiritual talent renews her determination to study Soul Tools 35 36.

Freshman Assessment

Huo Yutong teams up with Wang Dong’er and Xiao Xiao for the freshman assessment. They win all ten round-robin matches, including encounters with opponents at levels twenty-nine, thirty, and thirty-one. Wang Dong’er takes the front, Huo Yutong supplies control from the side, and Xiao Xiao follows up 44.

The team reaches the final against Jiang Wu, Gu Yue, and He Song. Huo Yutong and Wang Dong’er attempt to open with their newly discovered fusion skill, but Jiang Wu separates them before they can embrace. Gu Yue then isolates Huo Yutong with ice walls and interrupts her attempt to assist Wang Dong’er. Wang Dong’er is knocked out of the arena; the match’s final result is not shown in the provided passage 47.

Appearance

• Hair: Long and black, usually worn loose 24 43.
• Initial build: Frail, delicate, and scrawny when she first enrolls 22 44.
• Later development: By the freshman assessment, she has grown somewhat and looks noticeably healthier, with less childishness in her face 44.

Personality

Huo Yutong is soft-spoken and easily embarrassed by kindness. Tang Ya’s concern leaves her unsure how to respond, while Jiang Wu’s affection makes her visibly content. Even after befriending the group, she struggles to join their playful exchanges and wishes she could speak to Jiang Wu more naturally 20 33.

She is reluctant to depend financially on others. Despite her poverty, she initially protests when Jiang Wu offers to pay for dinner and refuses Wang Dong’er’s direct monetary help. At her stall, she stands up to Xu Sanshi over his handling of a customer’s fish, although she later offers to apologize to prevent Jiang Wu from having to fight 25 29.

Her growing attraction to Jiang Wu makes her self-conscious: she dreams about him, becomes flustered by his attention, and feels envious after seeing him kiss Wang Dong’er. She also develops a teasing side, joining Jiang Wu’s harmless prank on the sleeping Wang Dong’er and later exposing Wang Dong’er’s near-stumble during an assessment match 28 29 34 44.
