Background / History

Childhood at the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion

Huo Yutong grew up with her mother, Huo Yun’er, at the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion. Her father, Dai Hao, remained absent, while servants bullied the mother and daughter and left them without adequate food or clothing. This deprivation reduced her Innate Soul Power to level one despite the underlying quality of her Spirit Eyes Martial Soul 4 6 25.

Their circumstances improved after Lin Bai arrived. With support from the mansion’s old steward—a sworn brother of Dai Hao’s father—he prevented the servants from continuing their abuse. The duchess eventually stopped targeting them; Yutong’s being a girl also meant she posed no succession threat to the duchess’s sons. Better nutrition allowed her cultivation to progress, although she remained somewhat thin and frail 4.

Lin Bai and Qian Renxue became her childhood companions over the following five years. In Lin Bai’s understanding of the world, Yutong is the female counterpart of the original story’s Huo Yuhao and retains the position of “child of the plane” 1 2 8.

Choosing a Different Academy

When Yutong reached level twenty, she wanted to attend Shrek Academy to defeat Dai Yueheng and redress her mother’s grievances. She also believed Shrek’s reputation guaranteed the best teaching conditions 3.

Lin Bai instead proposed the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, arguing that her Spirit Eyes were especially suited to Soul Tool production. She accepted his reasoning. His private intention was also to keep her away from the route through the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy that he believed would draw her into Tang San’s scheme 8.

Before leaving, Yutong tearfully said goodbye to her mother. Lin Bai arranged for Huo Yun’er to return to her old home rather than remain vulnerable at the duke’s mansion. He also told Yutong that village matchmakers would help her mother move on from Dai Hao, making her laugh through her tears 9.

Fusion with Sky Dream

Yutong traveled with Lin Bai and Qian Renxue to the Star Dou Great Forest. After Lin Bai drove off a Wind Baboon, he sent her ahead to scout. In a clearing, she encountered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which recognized her Mental Attribute and initiated a fusion 9 10.

Qian Renxue guarded her during the process. Yutong emerged with a white Million-Year Second Soul Ring above her existing yellow Hundred-Year ring. Her prior use of Whale Rubber and medicinal meals had strengthened her body enough to bear a thousand-year-level ring, allowing more of Sky Dream’s Soul Power and spiritual origin to merge with her 11 12.

Journey to Mingdu

At the Ming Dou Mountain Range, Yutong encountered Dai Hao and became visibly distressed. Lin Bai described her father’s abandonment while pretending to refer to an unnamed soldier under Dai Hao’s command. Dai Hao failed to recognize himself as the father and promised to investigate before allowing the travelers through the pass 14 15.

After crossing into the Sun Moon Empire, the group met Jing Hongchen. He recognized the value of Yutong’s spiritual Martial Soul for Soul Engineering and promised Illustrious Virtue Hall’s protection. Meng Hongchen gave her Xiao Hongchen’s class notes before Jing brought them to Mingdu 15 17.

By the time Lin Bai defeated Ji Juechen, Yutong and her companions had received a furnished house at the academy. Though they had not yet formally acknowledged a master, all three were already regarded as Kong Deming’s disciples 23 24.

Appearance

• Hair: Long, silky black hair reaching her waist 1 9.
• Eyes: Clear, deep-blue eyes; golden light flickers within them when her strengthened spiritual power is active 1 12 13.
• Build: Slender and still somewhat frail despite improved nutrition 1 4.
• Clothing and accessories: Introduced wearing a small cook’s outfit; later wears the ice-blue, snowflake-shaped Ice God’s Heart necklace 1 6.

Personality

Yutong is affectionate toward Lin Bai and readily competes with Qian Renxue for his attention. Their rivalry is playful rather than genuinely hostile: although they argue over whose food he should eat first, Yutong also regards Qian Renxue as a source of warmth and belonging 1 2 6.

Her childhood deprivation makes her sensitive to kindness and reluctant to waste money. She initially rejects the expensive Ice God’s Heart necklace, then cries with happiness when Lin Bai buys it for her. She remembers once wishing for nothing more than a hot baked flatbread 6.

She is deeply protective of her mother and resents Dai Hao’s abandonment. Her wish to defeat Dai Yueheng grows from that grievance, while meeting Dai Hao in person leaves her shaking and tearful 3 14 15.

Abilities & Skills

Million-Year Soul Ring

• Huo Yun’er — Mother, with whom she endured deprivation and abuse. Huo Yun’er encourages her to pursue Lin Bai boldly rather than repeat her own regrets 6 9.
• Dai Hao — Absent biological father. Yutong resents his abandonment; he does not recognize her as his daughter during their border encounter 6 15.
• Dai Yueheng — The duke’s eldest son and Yutong’s intended opponent at Shrek Academy; defeating him is her original means of avenging her mother’s mistreatment 3.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Soul Beast that voluntarily fuses with her and becomes her Million-Year Second Soul Ring 10 11 12.

Story Role
