Appearance
Huo Yuhao is a young male student whose appearance is primarily defined by his association with Shrek Academy. As a student of the academy, he is typically seen wearing the standard-issue Shrek Academy uniform, reflecting the institution's prestige and discipline. No further details regarding his physical features, such as height, are specified in the available records.
Following his fusion with the Ice God Bloodline, his hair changed from azure to shimmering silver-white, while his eyes gained an intense, chilling quality when his ice power is active 169. His Spirit Eyes are frequently described as azure or glowing gold when he channels spiritual power in combat 228 336.

- Notable Features: Silver-white hair following the Ice God Bloodline fusion 169.
- Combat Manifestation: His Spirit Eyes emit golden light when he activates spiritual abilities such as Mental Shock 336 383.
Personality
Honest and principled: Huo Yuhao demonstrates a strong moral compass, refusing to accept a position he feels unqualified for, stating, “One Must Have a Bottom Line!” 35. This integrity is further confirmed during Shrek Academy’s enrollment tests, where he resists temptations and threats, displaying exceptional moral fiber 7.
Determined and hardworking: He consistently pushes himself to improve, whether by studying over a hundred Soul Tool blueprints in two and a half hours 255 or vowing to work harder after passing out before the finals of the Freshman Grand Competition 155. His resolve is evident when he kneels to accept Mu Ye’s trial to become his disciple, showing his commitment to growing stronger 60. Within five months, he advanced to Level 4 Soul Tool Master while also qualifying as a Level 1 Mecha Designer, Level 2 Mecha Manufacturer, and Level 2 Mecha Repairman 192.
Grateful and appreciative: Upon receiving Shrek Academy’s generous enrollment package, including valuable pills and resources, he expresses deep gratitude and resolves to work hard in return for the academy’s nurturing 29. He later refuses the Sun Moon Emperor’s offer of a hereditary dukedom, court position, and unrestricted resources because he considers himself a member of Shrek Academy and believes that without the academy, he would not be who he is today 295.
Curious and willing to learn: Huo Yuhao shows a strong desire to understand new fields, initially refusing a Soul Tool Committee position due to his lack of knowledge but accepting after encouragement, demonstrating his willingness to learn 35. He also seeks guidance from Mu Ye when faced with the complexity of integrated development, showing intellectual curiosity 185. He travels to the Sun Moon Empire specifically to study its Soul Tool technology and learn from its strengths 228 231.
Confident and courageous: He confidently challenges opponents stronger than himself, such as Dai Yueheng, a level 64 Soul Emperor, despite his own lower soul power 211. Similarly, he challenges the “Sword Fanatic” Ji Juechen, revealing his four ten-thousand-year soul rings to prove his worth 258. He later confronts Tang Wulin in the Five Great Competition despite recognizing the overwhelming advantage of Tang Wulin’s Dragon God bloodline 385 386.
Calm and composed under pressure: When facing Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao remains remarkably calm and confident, not intimidated by the power imbalance 211. During the tower trial, he works effectively with his team, showcasing his mental fortitude 85. He also remains composed when confronting Holy Spirit Cult members and discerning the scar-faced leader’s lies 289.
Cautious and self-reflective: After a reckless fusion with Life Gold, Han Tianyi scolds him for his lack of caution. Huo Yuhao immediately acknowledges his mistake, apologizes, and vows to improve his foresight and safety awareness 263. Han Tianyi’s later training further teaches him to adapt strategically rather than fixating on an enemy’s manifested construct 191 348.
Adaptable and tactical: Huo Yuhao does not rely solely on raw strength. Against Tang Wulin, he uses Mental Detection and agile movement to avoid direct exchanges while charging the Soul-Splitting Spirit-Piercing Cone 386. In their comprehensive battle, he shifts to attrition tactics, deploying bombs, Soul Tools, a Blood Curse, and skeletal undead to wear down Tang Wulin’s stamina and defenses 388 389.
Resilient and persevering: He endures significant pain while purifying the Life Gold and does not give up, eventually succeeding with Electrolux’s help 262. His physical constitution recovers and improves through arduous training, such as in the Thunder Pool 155. He also withstands the agonizing Ice God Bloodline fusion, emerging with a second martial soul 169 170.
Compassionate despite his ruthlessness toward evil: After eliminating Evil Soul Masters, Huo Yuhao waits to ensure no threats remain and respectfully buries the victims’ remains 230. He later uses the Eye of Life to purify twisted souls rather than merely destroy them 292. His decision to exchange the reward for his second-place finish in the Five Great Competition for a revival also demonstrates the depth of his filial devotion and care for loved ones 395 397.
Restrained in his pursuit of revenge: Although he bears immense hatred for the White Tiger Duke Mansion and Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao suppresses his desire for immediate vengeance, recognizing that he must first become strong enough to settle the matter himself without endangering Shrek Academy 228. Even after Huo Yun’er’s revival and Dai Hao’s public apology, he continues to radiate intense killing intent toward Dai Hao, showing that his resentment remains unresolved 431.
Background
Huo Yuhao's origins are marked by a lack of privilege and a desperate desire for advancement, which ultimately leads him to Shrek Academy. Initially, he is presented as a character with low innate soul power, a factor that often leads to feelings of inferiority in his world 3. This perceived weakness makes him particularly susceptible to the allure of Shrek Academy, an institution renowned for its ability to cultivate even ordinary individuals into powerful Soul Tool Masters 3. His journey to the academy is not straightforward; he is initially caught between two groups, one claiming to be from the authentic Shrek Academy and another, represented by Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, who eventually introduce him to the true institution 1 3.
Upon his arrival at the real Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao, along with his companions Bei Bei and Tang Ya, is awestruck by its massive, technologically advanced structure, which exists as a city in the sky 4 14. This experience challenges his prior assumptions and reinforces the academy's reputation as a "Monster Academy" capable of transforming individuals 4. Despite the rigorous entrance examinations, which test willpower and other comprehensive skills, Huo Yuhao decides to commit to the academy, driven by a newfound determination and confidence 4 5. His decision to stay triggers a system reward, leading to the appearance of Special Teacher Shen Yi, who becomes a significant figure in his early development 6.
Once enrolled, Huo Yuhao is astonished by the academy's generosity, receiving a luxurious dormitory and an extravagant welcome package that includes valuable resources like Mystic Water Pills, Soul Ascension Pills, and a substantial amount of Gold Soul Coins 29. This generosity fosters a deep sense of gratitude and determination within him, motivating him to work diligently in his cultivation 29 57. The academy's resources prove instrumental in his rapid progress, as his Soul Power increases significantly in a short period 65 79. He also benefits from the academy's unique methods for obtaining soul rings, such as the Soul Spirit Tower, which further solidifies his appreciation for the institution 79.
A significant aspect of Huo Yuhao's background is the existence of his unique martial souls and spiritual partners. He possesses a second, blank martial soul, and his Sea of Consciousness houses the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Little Gray Ball 165. While these are initially his closely guarded secrets, he later discovers that the academy, particularly Dean Lin Feng and other teachers, are fully aware of his unique situation 165. This revelation initially causes him shock and curiosity but eventually leads to acceptance, highlighting the academy's profound knowledge and oversight of its students 165.
After completing the Body Sect’s trials, Huo Yuhao formally joins the Body Sect alongside Tang Wulin. The faction is one of Shrek Academy’s five major factions, though it has only five members including Mu Ye, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, and two senior disciples 110 159. His Spirit Eye completes its Silver Grade awakening during Thunder Pool training, substantially improving his combat strength and helping his spiritual power rise at an extraordinary rate 108 188.
Huo Yuhao also carries a hidden past marked by a deep grudge against Dai Yueheng and the White Tiger Duke Mansion, which manifests as intense killing intent when the name is mentioned 209. He is the mansion’s illegitimate son and recalls the mistreatment that he and his mother suffered there 228. Following his confrontation with Dai Yueheng, he visits his mother’s grave in the Star Luo Empire, replaces her weathered grave marker with one carved “Tomb of a Loving Mother,” and vows to return with good news once he is capable of taking revenge himself 228. During the Five Great Competition, he uses his second-place reward to request a revival, resulting in Huo Yun’er’s return and Electrolux’s restoration as well 395 397. Dai Hao subsequently apologizes publicly to Huo Yun’er for his failures as a husband and father, but Huo Yuhao’s hostility toward his father remains intense 431.
After leaving the Star Luo Empire, Huo Yuhao enters the Sun Moon Empire to broaden his understanding of Soul Tools 228 231. There, he develops ties with Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ji Juechen, and Xuan Ziwen, gains access to Mingde Hall’s Soul Tool blueprints after declining the Sun Moon Emperor’s recruitment, and becomes involved in combating the Holy Spirit Cult alongside Shrek Academy’s Holy Spirit Execution Department 255 286 295. He later travels with Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ji Juechen to the ruined Shrek City in response to the Abyss Creature crisis, where he reunites with his classmates 318.
Abilities & Skills
Martial Souls
Spirit Eye
Huo Yuhao’s first martial soul is the Spirit Eye, a spiritual-attribute Body Martial Soul that gives him a natural advantage in soul-tool crafting and mental-power-based combat 35 60 255. As a spiritual-attribute martial soul, it forms the foundation for his most iconic abilities, including long-range detection, mental attacks, and compatibility with fusion skills 66 112 114. By the time he visits his mother’s grave, the Spirit Eye has completed its Silver Grade awakening; Mu Ye states that it can potentially undergo a Gold Grade awakening in the future 228.
Second Martial Soul (Ice God Bloodline)
After fusing with the Ice God Bloodline, Huo Yuhao acquired a second martial soul that dramatically enhances his physical strength and grants him deep mastery over ice attributes 170. This second martial soul expands his combat options beyond spiritual attacks, allowing him to wield powerful ice-based skills and reinforce his body with cold energy. He can manipulate ice created by other ice-attribute soul masters if his strength is sufficient and has an initial ten-percent immunity to ice-attribute damage even before attaching soul rings to the martial soul 170.
By the Five Great Competition, his second martial soul possesses the Ice Dragon King and Snow Nether Heart Lotus Beast as Soul Spirits. The Ice Dragon King is his principal ice-attribute combat Soul Spirit, though it is decisively inferior to Gu Yue’s Silver Dragon King in a direct Soul Spirit confrontation 383.
Electrolux / Third Martial Soul
Following his fusion with Life Gold, Electrolux became Huo Yuhao’s third martial soul 263. Although Electrolux initially could neither provide spirit rings nor directly wield his powers, he later guides Huo Yuhao in using the Eye of Life and teaches him a purification method suitable for twisted and vengeful souls 292.
Electrolux’s abilities also grant Huo Yuhao access to necromantic techniques, including the creation of skeletal undead and the use of curses. Huo Yuhao describes Electrolux’s undead demiplane as possessing an energy cycle resembling that of regenerating Abyss Creatures 338 388. Electrolux is later restored through the revival reward Huo Yuhao requests after placing second in the Five Great Competition 395 397.
Soul Skills
Spirit Detection / Spirit Detection Sharing
A soul skill derived from his first Soul Spirit, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Spirit Detection allows Huo Yuhao to perceive the surroundings of allies over a wide area. In combat, Spirit Detection Sharing can disorient opponents by transmitting sensory information to teammates, effectively stunning the opposing team 70. It is a versatile reconnaissance and coordination tool. Early in his academy career, he could detect the environment within a thirty-meter radius and share the resulting three-dimensional information with up to three teammates at once 53.
Soul Shock / Mental Shock
A mental-attack soul skill that projects the user’s spiritual power as a debilitating shock to the enemy’s mind. Huo Yuhao used Soul Shock to defeat the five-ring Soul King Ji Juechen in a single, intense exchange 259. However, the skill is risky: if the target’s spiritual power exceeds the user’s, Soul Shock can backfire and cause harm to the caster, as happened when Huo Yuhao attempted it on Tang Wulin 70. Wu Zhangkong later demonstrated a similar mental attack, confirming the versatility of such skills when applied with deep understanding 66.
By the Five Great Competition, Huo Yuhao can release Mental Shock over an area, instantly eliminating multiple mental-resistance-type monsters in Battle Armor combat 383.
Mental Weakness
A soul skill obtained from his second Soul Spirit, the Spirit-Eyed Giant Ape. Mental Weakness is a group-control skill that can weaken designated targets’ attack power and attack speed according to the gap between their mental power and Huo Yuhao’s. It also grants Huo Yuhao a ten-percent increase in strength 85. It complements Huo Yuhao’s spiritual-attribute arsenal by providing crowd control and setup for allies.
Mental Needle
A highly compressed attack formed by condensing spiritual power into a fine needle. Huo Yuhao uses a Mental Needle to kill the Death Messenger after incapacitating a group of Evil Soul Masters 230. During Han Tianyi’s later trial, he refines his use of concentrated mental energy to destroy a giant eye construct within a sealed small world 348.
Soul-Splitting Spirit-Piercing Cone
A powerful spiritual attack developed through Huo Yuhao’s improved command of the Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art. He compresses his mental power into an extremely sharp cone-shaped blade and launches it directly at the opponent’s soul. He uses the technique against Tang Wulin after evading repeated close-range elemental attacks, though it exhausts nearly all of his spiritual power 386.
Eye of Life / Purification
Through Electrolux’s guidance, Huo Yuhao can activate the Eye of Life as a golden vertical eye on his forehead and release holy light capable of purifying twisted souls 292. He uses this power to defeat a six-ring Evil Soul Master and cleanse the souls bound by the Holy Spirit Cult’s evil techniques 292.
Necromancy
Through Electrolux’s power, Huo Yuhao can employ necromantic abilities, including a Blood Curse that intensifies the backlash of an opponent’s wound and the summoning of skeletal undead soldiers 388 389. He can also access an undead demiplane whose undead can restore their bodies so long as their soul fire remains intact 338.
Ice Attribute Skills (Second Martial Soul)
With the Ice God Bloodline martial soul, Huo Yuhao gains an array of ice-attribute offensive and defensive skills. While specific skill names are not fully detailed in the available context, the fusion notably increased his physical strength and ice mastery, enabling him to fight effectively at close range 170. He can also use his ice power to subdue opponents, including Holy Spirit Cult thugs 289. His Ice Dragon King Soul Spirit serves as a principal offensive option in Soul Spirit combat 383.
Soul Bones
Eye-Type External Soul Bone
During his cultivation at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao successfully fused an eye-type external soul bone. This soul bone significantly increased his spiritual power and raised his overall Soul Power level 164. The exact soul skill granted by this bone is not specified, but it reinforces his already formidable spiritual perception and mental strength.
Fusion Skills
Dragon Eye Prison-Suppressing Kill (with Tang Wulin)
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill that combines Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eye with Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline. When activated, it creates a devastating field of pressure and light, suppressing all enemies within range. The skill lasts approximately thirty seconds and is powerful enough to rival a Titled Douluo’s strength, though it leaves both users severely drained afterward 115. The fusion was made possible by their high compatibility, first detected when they drank Lingxi Resonance Water 112.
Blood Soul Fusion (Experiment with Tang Wulin)
Under Wu Zhangkong’s guidance, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin attempted a Blood Soul Fusion, using Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eye and Tang Wulin’s Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. The result was a phantom projection of a youth covered in white-gold dragon scales, with a golden dragon image floating behind him. This fusion generated an overwhelming pressure that restricted the movement and senses of everyone nearby 114. The experiment demonstrated the potential of combining their bloodline powers, though it remains a non-standard technique.
Golden Road (with Wang Dong’er)
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er possess one-hundred-percent martial soul fusion compatibility. Their Spirit Eye and Radiant Goddess Butterfly manifestations combine into a massive pale-gold Spirit Eye that fires an overwhelming beam of light 128. The attack is comparable to a full-force blow from an eight-ring Soul Douluo and can seal a target’s martial soul and soul skills 128.
Frost Dragon God Break (with Tang Wulin)
Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin test a further Martial Soul Fusion Skill after arriving at the Abyss Creature battlefield. The technique incorporates Huo Yuhao’s Ice God martial soul and Tang Wulin’s dragon bloodline, providing them with a powerful option against Abyss Creatures 338.
Mental Power
Huo Yuhao’s mental power is exceptionally high. By the time he reached approximately 16,797 points, he already met the threshold to learn the advanced mental-power technique Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art 187. This enormous spiritual reserve allows him to use Soul Shock effectively, sustain Spirit Detection over long periods, and gives him a critical edge in soul-tool design, where mental-type martial souls are prized for their ability to process complex blueprints and spiritual energy control 35 255 259. His mental power also proved higher than many of his peers, enabling him to dominate in direct spiritual contests.
Through the Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art, Huo Yuhao can divide his attention across multiple tasks and fields of study. The technique is crucial to his rapid advancement across Soul Tool and mecha professions 192. Han Tianyi’s training further improves his ability to compress, purify, and manipulate mental power under adverse conditions 347 348. His refined control subsequently enables the Soul-Splitting Spirit-Piercing Cone, an attack that concentrates his mental power to an extreme degree 386.
Soul Tools
Huo Yuhao demonstrated remarkable talent in soul-tool engineering. He was able to memorize and process over a hundred Level-4 to Level-5 soul-tool blueprints in just two and a half hours while simultaneously conversing with Xiao Hongchen — a feat that astonished the established soul-tool genius 255. His Spirit Eye martial soul grants him a natural affinity for the spiritual-energy manipulation required in soul-tool crafting, and he was appointed as the class’s Soul Tool Committee Member at Shrek Academy despite his initial reluctance 35. Xiao Hongchen, impressed by Huo Yuhao’s speed and precision, offered to introduce him to the Dean of Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy to gain access to even greater resources 255.
Within five months of specialized study, Huo Yuhao became a Level 4 Soul Tool Master, Level 1 Mecha Designer, Level 2 Mecha Manufacturer, and Level 2 Mecha Repairman 192. He designed and operates a silver-white single-person Soul Vehicle, which later becomes a valuable subject of exchange with Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy researchers 229 286. After studying Xuan Ziwen’s Level 8, near-Level 9 Remote Monitoring Soul Tool for two days, Huo Yuhao reconstructed it and corrected flaws in the original design, displaying practical competence far beyond his formal Level 4 certification 286 287.
Huo Yuhao later demonstrates advanced practical mecha control by defeating Gu Yue in the mecha portion of the Five Great Competition. His superior operational control compensates for Gu Yue’s greater advantage in direct Soul Spirit combat 383. In unrestricted combat, he can also deploy Soul Guidance Guns, Soul Guidance Cannons, explosive Soul Tool projectiles, and other portable offensive Soul Tools in coordinated barrages 388.

Relationships
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm resides within Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness as a spiritual partner, sharing a deep, symbiotic bond that transcends a typical master-soul beast relationship. From the earliest days at Shrek Academy, the ice silkworm acts as a constant internal commentator and advisor, encouraging Huo Yuhao during his enrollment tests and celebrating his successes 7 29 35. Despite its own fears—such as when it becomes anxious upon learning that Dean Lin Feng and the academy know of its existence, worrying about potential experimentation—it continues to support Huo Yuhao’s growth 165. The silkworm experiences the consequences of Huo Yuhao’s trials firsthand: during the fusion with the Ice God Bloodline, it suffers from the extreme cold alongside him, yet it remains willing to help him even in the face of great danger 169. After Huo Yuhao successfully awakens his second martial soul, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm expresses excitement and pride, emphasizing their shared goals and the importance of their bond 170. The silkworm also serves as a practical guide, helping Huo Yuhao weigh decisions such as focusing on separate versus integrated development, and suggesting that he seek Mu Ye’s advice when overwhelmed 185. Their relationship is marked by mutual reliance, with Huo Yuhao often comforting the silkworm when it feels dejected—for instance, after realizing that the skill "Mental Shock" is more common than it believed 67. The silkworm’s excitement is also evident when Huo Yuhao considers fusing with an Ultimate Ice-attribute martial soul, highlighting its investment in his power 166.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is also deeply aware of Huo Yuhao’s painful history because it saw his memories after becoming his Wisdom Soul Ring 209. It recognizes Huo Yuhao’s emotional growth when he suppresses his killing intent toward Dai Yueheng rather than acting impulsively 209. Though originally proud of the Soul Shock skill it granted, it later laments its lack of sophisticated mental combat techniques compared with Shrek Academy’s methods, while continuing to take pride in Huo Yuhao’s exceptional accomplishments 187 287.
During Huo Yuhao’s match against Tang Wulin, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remains a candid source of encouragement and concern. It acknowledges Tang Wulin’s overwhelming physical and bloodline advantages while encouraging Huo Yuhao to continue developing the Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art and eventually surpass him 385 386.
Mu Ye
Mu Ye becomes Huo Yuhao’s teacher after a trial involving grilled fish, during which Mu Ye reveals himself as a rank 94 Titled Douluo, Four-Word Battle Armor Master, and Red-Rank Mecha Master 60. Their relationship is built on genuine care and dedication: Mu Ye reassures Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that Shrek Academy will not harm them, offers to help awaken Huo Yuhao’s blank second martial soul, and provides a guide for choosing a suitable ice-attribute soul beast 166. He demonstrates his support throughout the fusion process, assisting Huo Yuhao and overseeing the trial alongside Dean Lin Feng 169. After the fusion, Mu Ye continues to be present, showing concern for Huo Yuhao’s well-being 170. Mu Ye also acts as a source of wisdom when Huo Yuhao is uncertain about his future path, such as deciding between separate and integrated development—Huo Yuhao seeks his guidance, and Mu Ye’s advice helps shape Huo Yuhao’s direction 185. The teacher-disciple bond is characterized by Mu Ye’s initiative in revealing the academy’s knowledge of Huo Yuhao’s secrets, thereby deepening trust and allowing Huo Yuhao to accept his situation with gratitude 165.
Mu Ye also introduces Huo Yuhao to the Heavenly Derivation Soul-Splitting Art and verifies that his 16,797 mental-power points satisfy the technique’s demanding 15,000-point requirement 187. The technique enables Huo Yuhao to simultaneously pursue Soul Tool and mecha-related professions at an extraordinary rate 192.
As the leader of the Body Sect, Mu Ye formally accepts Huo Yuhao into the faction. His high expectations and physical-tempering methods, especially the Thunder Pool, form a major part of Huo Yuhao’s development 108 110 159.
Lin Feng
Dean Lin Feng holds an omniscient presence over Huo Yuhao’s life at Shrek Academy. From the very beginning, Lin Feng personally administers Huo Yuhao’s entrance tests, including the spiritual power test and willpower test, showing patience and guiding him through the process with fair grading 7. He later demonstrates his awareness of all of Huo Yuhao’s secrets, including the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Little Gray Ball, a revelation that shocks Huo Yuhao but also leads to acceptance 165. During the dangerous fusion with the Ice God Bloodline, Lin Feng oversees the trial and uses his powerful healing abilities to save Huo Yuhao’s life and mend his severe injuries, exemplifying his role as a protector despite his interest in research 169 170. Lin Feng’s god-like capabilities and investigative curiosity underscore his care for the student’s well-being, even as he pushes Huo Yuhao to grow stronger.
Lin Feng later grants Huo Yuhao’s request to use his Five Great Competition reward for revival. This results in Huo Yun’er’s return and Electrolux’s restoration, profoundly changing Huo Yuhao’s family circumstances 395 397.
Wu Zhangkong
Wu Zhangkong first surprises the class by stepping into a teaching role after half a semester, having previously been perceived as a mere mascot or disciplinary monitor 65. His relationship with Huo Yuhao deepens through direct instruction: he demonstrates the skill "Mental Shock," incapacitating Huo Yuhao with a single glance, and explains the importance of mental power in battle 67. Wu Zhangkong then applies the technique to the entire class, ensuring all students experience its effect first-hand. This training method proves effective, and Huo Yuhao later comforts the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm regarding the commonality of the skill, showing that Wu Zhangkong’s lesson had a lasting impact 67. Though strict, Wu Zhangkong’s teaching style is practical and rooted in real combat experience.
Shen Yi
Shen Yi, Huo Yuhao’s primary homeroom teacher, demonstrates early trust in his potential by appointing him as the Soul Tool Committee Member despite Huo Yuhao’s initial refusal due to his lack of knowledge in soul tools 35. She reassures him that the position is not permanent and encourages him to accept the challenge, highlighting his mental-type martial soul as an advantage. Shen Yi also announces a free-for-all competition for class monitor, fostering competition and determination among students 35. Later, she assigns Huo Yuhao to manufacture components of a One-Word Battle Armor within six months, a task that pushes him to consider his future development path 185. Her mentorship is characterized by responsibility, encouragement, and a belief in Huo Yuhao’s ability to grow.
Wang Dong’er
Wang Dong’er is one of Huo Yuhao’s classmates who shows ambition by aiming to become class monitor 35. Their connection intensifies when Huo Yuhao uses the Lingxi Resonance Water and discovers that he can resonate with Wang Dong’er’s martial soul—her Radiant Goddess Butterfly—also revealing her second martial soul, a hammer 113. This rare innate resonance surprises both and adds a layer of potential for martial soul fusion. Wang Dong’er’s role in the story is further highlighted by her competitiveness and contrasting reactions with Huo Yuhao’s other classmates.
Their compatibility develops into a one-hundred-percent Martial Soul Fusion Skill known as Golden Road. Together, they produce a pale-gold Spirit Eye beam capable of sealing an opponent’s soul skills and martial soul, with power comparable to an eight-ring Soul Douluo’s full-force attack 128.
Tang Wulin
Tang Wulin impresses Huo Yuhao with his extraordinary appetite and ability to instantly refine food energy, a quality that Huo Yuhao envies as a means to accelerate his own cultivation 58. During a meal, Tang Wulin invites Huo Yuhao to try grilled fish, leading to a friendly interaction. More significantly, Huo Yuhao discovers that he can resonate with Tang Wulin using the Lingxi Resonance Water—Tang Wulin’s bloodline power manifests as a golden dragon phantom that resonates with Huo Yuhao’s own abilities 113. This resonance hints at a deep, possibly bloodline-connected bond between them, though its full implications are not yet explored.
Tang Wulin and the others support Huo Yuhao when he chooses to train separately and visit his mother’s grave following the conflict with Dai Yueheng 228. The pair later reunite at ruined Shrek City amid the emerging Abyss Creature crisis 318. They test their Ice God- and dragon-bloodline-based Martial Soul Fusion Skill against the Abyss Creatures 338.
As fellow Body Sect disciples, they also become major rivals in the Five Great Competition. Huo Yuhao recognizes that Tang Wulin’s Dragon God bloodline gives him an immense physical advantage, but chooses to challenge him with strategic spiritual attacks, Soul Tools, and necromancy rather than direct confrontation 385 386 388. Despite their rivalry, Tang Wulin remains attentive to Huo Yuhao’s feelings and tries to calm him when Dai Hao’s appearance provokes renewed killing intent 431.
Xie Xie
Xie Xie is a classmate and friend who often teases Huo Yuhao, such as when comparing Huo Yuhao’s appetite to Tang Wulin’s 58. When Huo Yuhao discovers he can resonate with Wang Dong’er and Tang Wulin, Xie Xie expresses disappointment and jealousy at being unable to resonate with anyone, highlighting his sense of exclusion 113. Despite this, Xie Xie remains part of Huo Yuhao’s inner circle, and their interactions reflect a typical rivalry mixed with camaraderie.
Xie Xie also helps relieve Huo Yuhao’s worries about the demands of studying multiple professions by suggesting that their team can support one another in the Battle Armor project 184 185. He later reunites with Huo Yuhao at Shrek City during the Abyss Creature crisis 318.
Xiao Hongchen
Xiao Hongchen initially approaches Huo Yuhao with a competitive attitude, but Huo Yuhao’s extraordinary talent in studying over a hundred Level 4 to 5 Soul Tool blueprints in just two and a half hours impresses and frustrates him 255. Xiao Hongchen’s admiration leads him to offer help and guidance, including an introduction to his grandfather, the Dean of Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy. Their relationship evolves from rivalry to a mentor-peer dynamic, with Xiao Hongchen questioning his own talent in the process.
Xiao Hongchen later lends Huo Yuhao social and institutional support within the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, accompanies him to Shrek City alongside Meng Hongchen and Ji Juechen, and respects Huo Yuhao’s refusal to abandon Shrek Academy despite the Emperor’s generous recruitment offer 294 295 318. After learning of the Sun Moon Empire’s collusion with Evil Soul Masters, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ji Juechen seek to enroll at Shrek Academy, partly motivated by their experience of Huo Yuhao’s and the academy’s overwhelming standards 331.
Meng Hongchen
Meng Hongchen appears briefly when she enters the room while Huo Yuhao is studying soul tool blueprints, showing concern for his well-being 255. Her interaction is limited to a momentary interruption, but it underscores the network of peers who care about Huo Yuhao’s health.
She later becomes curious about Huo Yuhao’s Soul Vehicle, and Huo Yuhao generously allows her to operate it after explaining its controls 256. Along with Xiao Hongchen, she accompanies him to Shrek City when the Abyss Creature crisis draws them there 318. She subsequently supports her brother’s decision to seek admission to Shrek Academy with Ji Juechen 331.
Ji Juechen
Ji Juechen, the five-ring Soul King known as the “Sword Fanatic,” initially dismisses Huo Yuhao as too weak to challenge him. After Huo Yuhao reveals four ten-thousand-year soul rings, Ji Juechen accepts the spar and is defeated by Soul Shock 258 259. Rather than becoming discouraged, he requests future matches and challenges Huo Yuhao nearly every day, continuing to train after each defeat 285.
Huo Yuhao respects Ji Juechen’s dedication to swordsmanship and sincerely encourages him, believing that such perseverance will make him a future powerhouse 285. Their relationship develops into one of mutual respect between determined combatants. Ji Juechen later travels with Huo Yuhao to Shrek City and joins Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen in seeking entry to Shrek Academy 318 331.
Xuan Ziwen
Xuan Ziwen is an eighth-level Soul Master and teacher at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy who becomes interested in Huo Yuhao’s Soul Tool knowledge after hearing of his accomplishments 285. He invites Huo Yuhao to his laboratory and trades his Level 8, near-Level 9 Remote Monitoring Soul Tool research for the opportunity to study Huo Yuhao’s Soul Vehicle 286.
Xuan Ziwen is shocked when Huo Yuhao fully reconstructs and improves the high-level Soul Tool in two days, an achievement he considers comparable to at least a seventh-level Soul Tool Master’s practical skill 287. Their connection is founded on an exchange of knowledge and shared devotion to Soul Tool research.
Ghost
Ghost is a mysterious member of Shrek Academy’s Holy Spirit Execution Department, an organization unknown to Huo Yuhao until they meet while confronting Holy Spirit Cult thugs 289. Ghost explains the cult’s nature as an Evil Soul Master organization and later works alongside Huo Yuhao to raid one of its branches 289 292.
During the operation, Ghost shows concern for Huo Yuhao’s safety while allowing him the opportunity to act first. Together, they prevent the branch’s seven-ring elder from committing suicide and expose the cult’s operations in the Sun Moon Empire 292. After observing Huo Yuhao’s necromantic combat abilities during the Five Great Competition, Ghost again considers him highly suited to the Holy Spirit Execution Department 388.
Han Tianyi
Han Tianyi reveals himself in Huo Yuhao’s room after Huo Yuhao recklessly fuses with the Life Gold, scolding him for his lack of caution and deducting his trial points 263. He teaches Huo Yuhao a valuable lesson about foresight and the importance of communicating with the academy about his actions. Han Tianyi then leaves using an unknown Soul Tool that evades Spiritual Detection, demonstrating his own power and mysterious nature. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is shocked by his appearance and disappearance, emphasizing the awe Han Tianyi commands.
Han Tianyi later becomes a demanding mental-combat instructor. He teaches Huo Yuhao that mental constructs can be defeated either by overwhelming spiritual power or by attacking their vulnerable caster, and he challenges Huo Yuhao to rely solely on his own Spirit Eye and mental power in a sealed trial space 191 347. His training forces Huo Yuhao to develop more refined strategic and mental-power control 348.
Electrolux
Electrolux becomes Huo Yuhao’s third martial soul after fusing with the Life Gold, but in his current state, he cannot provide spirit rings or use his powers 263. Their interaction is limited due to this restriction, yet Electrolux’s presence adds another dimension to Huo Yuhao’s already complex spiritual ensemble. The fusion itself is reckless, prompting Han Tianyi’s intervention, but Electrolux’s long-term potential remains untapped.
Electrolux later communicates with Huo Yuhao and teaches him how to purify vengeful and twisted souls. This guidance enables Huo Yuhao to activate the Eye of Life and employ holy light against the Holy Spirit Cult’s evil techniques 292. Huo Yuhao later draws upon Electrolux’s necromantic power to use a Blood Curse and summon skeletal undead in the Five Great Competition 388 389. Electrolux is restored when Huo Yuhao uses his second-place reward to request a revival 395 397.
Huo Yun’er
Huo Yun’er is Huo Yuhao’s mother and the central figure behind his desire for revenge against the White Tiger Duke Mansion. Before entering Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao lived as her mistreated illegitimate son within the White Tiger Duke Mansion; after her death, he personally buried her and swore to avenge her suffering 228. His visit to her grave, where he carves the marker “Tomb of a Loving Mother,” reveals the tenderness and filial devotion underlying his pursuit of strength 228.
After winning second place in the Five Great Competition, Huo Yuhao requests that his reward be used to bring someone back to life. Huo Yun’er is subsequently revived, allowing mother and son to reunite 395 397. She remains unresponsive when Dai Hao publicly apologizes for his failures as a husband and father 431.
Dai Hao
Dai Hao is the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, Huo Yuhao’s biological father, and a major source of Huo Yuhao’s unresolved resentment. Huo Yuhao’s hatred toward the White Tiger Duke Mansion stems from the suffering endured by himself and Huo Yun’er there 228. His hostility is initially directed at Dai Yueheng, Dai Hao’s eldest son, before the depth of his hatred toward Dai Hao becomes unmistakable after Huo Yun’er’s revival 209 431.
Dai Hao publicly apologizes to Huo Yun’er for his past failures as a husband and father and appears to seek reconciliation with Huo Yuhao. However, Huo Yuhao responds with fierce killing intent, making clear that the conflict between father and son is not resolved 431.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya
Bei Bei and Tang Ya are among the first people Huo Yuhao encounters outside the White Tiger Duke Mansion. Tang Ya initially offers him a Tang Sect quota for admission to Shrek Academy, but Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi’s intervention ultimately leads Huo Yuhao to the floating Shrek Academy instead 1 3. Although Huo Yuhao does not join their Tang Sect, he retains a generally favorable impression of the pair.
Huo Yuhao later reunites with Bei Bei during the Abyss Creature conflict. Bei Bei is struck by how far Huo Yuhao has progressed from the frail rank-ten youth he first met, ultimately observing that Huo Yuhao was fortunate not to have joined the terrestrial Shrek Academy 336.
Gu Yue
Gu Yue becomes one of Huo Yuhao’s major opponents during the Five Great Competition. Their Soul Spirit battle reveals the gulf between Huo Yuhao’s Ice Dragon King and her Silver Dragon King, as Gu Yue’s complete dragon bloodline easily suppresses his Soul Spirit 383. Huo Yuhao compensates in the mecha competition through better control, defeating her in that category, and clears his Battle Armor trial more efficiently with Mental Shock 383.
