Huo Yutong

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Huo Yutong was born to Huo Yuner, a maid of the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion, and was expelled from the estate as an illegitimate daughter. Her poverty and isolation forced her to pursue any available soul ring, even one incompatible with her Martial Soul, because survival came before long-term prospects 4.

While attempting to absorb a Wind Baboon’s ring, she was approached by a remnant soul that entered her spiritual world and later encountered Tian Meng. Jiang Yi saved her from Tian Meng, becoming the first person to ask her name of his own initiative 4 5. Tang Ya subsequently learned of Yutong’s circumstances, treated her as a younger sister, and recruited her into the Tang Sect 7.

Jiang Yi later helped her obtain her first soul ring from a White Tiger. The ring granted Eye of True Sight, an ability that became central to both her combat style and Soul Tool studies 9 10.

Her early time at Shrek was marked by a conflict with Tang Wutong, whom she defeated through precise observation of soul-power circulation and Tang Sect techniques. The two eventually became close alongside Xiao Xiao 16 19.

After beginning necromantic training under Electrolux, Yutong developed the Undead Staff Martial Soul and used it to defeat Dai Huabin, a member of the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion who had bullied her and her mother. The encounter exposed her enduring resentment toward the Duke’s household and led to accusations that she was an Evil Soul Master 79 80.

During the journey to Star Luo, she met her biological father, Dai Hao, for the first time. The encounter nearly caused her to lose control of her emotions; Jiang Yi intervened and supported her 106. Electrolux later warned her not to let revenge become the sole purpose of her life 107.

Yutong eventually found purpose in developing civilian Soul Tools. After witnessing villagers benefit from the technologies she and Jiang Yi helped create, she began to understand their practical value to ordinary people 195.

During the exchange at Sun Moon Royal Academy, Yutong grew closer to Jiang Yi. He reassured her when she felt out of place at a formal dance, and their relationship became openly romantic 203 205 239. She also helped Jiang Yi and Nana confront members of the Holy Church. The sight of its Ten-Thousand Souls Banner, filled with imprisoned souls, angered her and reinforced her opposition to its practices 212 213.

Her White Tiger bloodline underwent a second awakening during an expedition in the Jingyang Mountain Range. Guided by dreams and Electrolux, she found the remains of a fallen White Tiger, accepted its inheritance, and spent a year completing its trials. She emerged as a level 63 Soul Emperor with a divine-beast White Tiger evolution and two hundred-thousand-year soul rings 227 229 232 235.

After leaving the secluded valley with Jiang Yi and Gu Qiu’er, Yutong carried an encouraging letter from Electrolux back toward Bright City. She reunited there with Xixi and later returned with Jiang Yi to the academy, where Tang Wutong and Ning Tian discovered the couple together 236 237 238 239.

Appearance

Huo Yutong is a blue-haired girl whose appearance becomes more refined as she grows and cultivates.

• Azure-blue hair 194
• Heterochromatic eyes: one black and one gold 4 235
• A vertical azure pupil manifests on her forehead when using Eye of True Sight 10
• Wields a black, white, and gold staff after her White Tiger inheritance 79 235

Personality

Yutong is outwardly gentle, timid, and reserved, particularly around unfamiliar people. Her difficult upbringing left her wary of others, although she becomes openly warm and affectionate with the people she trusts 5 82 90.

She is pragmatic and determined. As a child, she was prepared to risk absorbing an unsuitable soul ring because she believed she had to live long enough to seek justice for her mother 4. In combat, she remains calm, observant, and highly strategic, exploiting opponents’ weaknesses rather than relying solely on force 16.

Her resentment toward Dai Hao and the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion runs deep. Though initially disturbed by cruel vengeance, she can become cold and ruthless when reminded of her mother’s suffering 106 107 212. Over time, work with civilian Soul Tools gives her a broader sense of purpose beyond revenge 195. Seeing the Holy Church’s imprisoned souls and reflecting on the cost of violence to civilians further distinguish her concern for victims from her desire for revenge 213 225.

She is studious and cautious when investigating unfamiliar phenomena, consulting the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to understand the Fountain of Youth’s effects on Xiao Xiao 181. Following her inheritance, she becomes more confident and openly expresses her wish to protect Jiang Yi rather than always depend on him 235.
