Background

Huo Yuhao entered Shrek Academy through the Tang Sect’s exemption quota while possessing only level-eleven soul power. He initially wore plain grey clothing, carried a small bundle, and viewed Shrek as his first place free from the cold treatment and servant bullying he had experienced at the Duke’s Mansion. 1 2 5

At the academy gates, Lin Ye secretly bound him to the Jiahao System. Huo Yuhao alone could see its interface and initially suspected that it might be related to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within his spiritual sea. 1

The system’s first tasks were humiliating but highly rewarding. After publicly shouting three escalating “Ah”s, he accepted the embarrassment in exchange for increased soul power. This experience convinced him that completing the system’s strange missions was worth any loss of face. 2 5

After Ren Zhu’s sacrifice, Huo Yuhao initially believed that unidentified enemies alone had forced her death. When evil soul masters later abducted him from Shrek, he recognized Shrek teacher Sophie as one of the Soul Douluo involved in the earlier confrontation. He concluded that Shrek Academy had forced Ren Zhu into sacrificing herself, shattering his faith in the institution. 107 108 176

Following his abduction, Huo Yuhao became involved with the Holy Spirit Cult. He competed under the name “Tang Wu” in Mingdu’s Underground Soul Engineer Arena and sought the cult’s Holy Son title. He later returned to Shrek Academy alongside cult elders to abduct former teammates. 189 204

Appearance

Huo Yuhao initially appears as an unremarkable but well-proportioned youth, distinguished more by his modest clothing and circumstances than by outward glamour. 1

• Short black hair. 1
• Grey cloth clothes and a small travel bundle upon arriving at Shrek Academy. 1
• Initially described as ordinary enough to disappear in a crowd. 1
• His Ice Baboon Martial Soul Possession gives him icy-blue light, more muscular arms, and a single white soul ring. 107
• When activating the Eight Spider Lances, eight pitch-black, blade-tipped spider limbs extend from his back. 134
• He wears a concealing black robe while competing as “Tang Wu” in the Underground Soul Engineer Arena. 189

Personality

Huo Yuhao is intensely ambitious and readily frames himself as the “Child of Destiny.” He wants to surpass Tang San, become a god, and be worshipped by the world. Despite his early weakness, he believes steady cultivation and the Jiahao System can make that future possible. 5

He is exceptionally willing to endure humiliation for strength. Public shouting, confrontations with teachers, bizarre performances, and dangerous missions embarrass him, but he consistently decides that the rewards make them worthwhile. 2 11 13 26 27

His confidence often becomes reckless. He speaks back to Zhou Yi, slaps Ren Zhu during a system task, and performs attention-grabbing acts to accumulate Heroic Value. Yet he is also persistent: he completes exhausting punishments, keeps running in heavy rain, and continues fighting despite severe pain. 11 13 16 26 55

Huo Yuhao is deeply affected by perceived kindness. Ren Zhu’s decision to run alongside him after he had humiliated her moves him profoundly, and their bond develops into devotion strong enough for him to protect her against Soul Douluo opponents. 27 107

His craving for Jiahao Value increasingly overrides caution and teamwork. During the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, he deliberately adopted an ostentatious formation and taunted an entire stadium for points, only to be isolated and beaten by Heavenly Spirit Academy’s team. 133 134

Although he has repeatedly accepted lesser humiliations for the system’s rewards, being publicly stripped by Meng Hongchen before the tournament audience overwhelms him. He panics, flees the arena, and refuses to continue fighting. 169 170

Ren Zhu’s death remains the center of his anger. His recognition of Sophie as one of the people who cornered Ren Zhu turns his grief into hatred of Shrek Academy and makes him willing to assist evil soul masters in escaping the academy’s rescue force. 176

Within the Holy Spirit Cult, his ambition extends to obtaining the Holy Son title and eventually leading the organization. He embraces his evil soul-master powers, but remains unable to accept a humiliating defeat: losing to Ju Zi drives him to attack the underground arena’s spectators indiscriminately. When Lin Ye demonstrates overwhelming power, Huo Yuhao instead submits and begs for his life. 189 191 194

Abilities & Skills

Jiahao System

The Jiahao System assigns ranked missions with rewards and penalties. Lin Ye secretly distributed it to Huo Yuhao, while Huo Yuhao believes it is one of his personal destined opportunities. 1 6

• C-rank and A-rank tasks can reward soul-power increases, cultivation progress, soul bones, and Heroic Value. 2 5 11 26
• Failure may inflict penalties, including reduced soul power or loss of Heroic Value. 1 26
• Its main quest rewards Heroic Value when Huo Yuhao performs conspicuous “Jiahao Behavior” that elicits strong reactions from others. 13 14
• Heroic Value can be exchanged for rewards including level increases, older soul rings, and soul bones. 13
• In tournament settings, the system refers to the resource as Jiahao Value; Huo Yuhao gained 100 points by declaring that people his own age were his “cup.” 133
• He later exchanges accumulated Jiahao points for Soul Engineer experience. 189

Mysterious Heaven Technique

Huo Yuhao cultivates the Tang Sect’s Mysterious Heaven Technique, which converts and refines his soul power. 5

• Nourishes his meridians as it circulates. 5
• Its advancement noticeably increases his soul-power circulation speed. 6
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm considers it well suited to Huo Yuhao’s current condition. 6

Spirit Eyes and Spiritual Detection Sharing

Huo Yuhao can provide Spiritual Detection Sharing to his allies during combat. 53

• Supports teammates by sharing battlefield awareness. 53
• He continues using his Spirit Eyes even while injured in battle. 55
• His heightened perception allows him to recognize Sophie’s flying-cable martial soul and identify her as a participant in Ren Zhu’s forced sacrifice. 176

Spiritual Shock

Huo Yuhao can condense his mental strength into a direct spiritual attack. 176

• The technique briefly dazed Soul Douluo Sophie despite being insufficient to seriously injure an opponent of her level. 176
• He used it while restrained by evil soul masters, deliberately creating the opening that allowed his abductors to escape Shrek Academy. 176

Chicken You Are Too Beautiful

A skill gained from his two Chicken Claw Leg Bones. 12

• Forces a large group of affected students to stop and stare while Huo Yuhao dances. 12
• Its accidental use delayed other students during Zhou Yi’s running punishment. 12 13
• Its conspicuous effects can generate Heroic Value through spectators’ reactions. 13 14

Ice Baboon Martial Soul

Huo Yuhao’s second martial soul emerged after a Ten-Year Ice Baboon Torso Bone integrated into his body. 88

• Manifestation produces icy-blue light and enhances his arms. 107
• Appears with a single white soul ring when activated. 107
• Its first known skill is Taunt. 88

Taunt

Taunt causes Huo Yuhao’s buttocks to become conspicuously red and shiny, drawing the attention of nearby ice baboons. 88

• Provoked a group of ice baboons into attacking him in the Extreme North. 89
• Can distract opponents, including Wang Dong’er. 103

Eight Spider Lances

The Eight Spider Lances are a powerful External Soul Bone associated with Ren Zhu’s hundred-thousand-year sacrifice. They manifest as eight black spider limbs extending from Huo Yuhao’s back. 134

• The lances are formed from a hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone and are far rarer and more tyrannical than ordinary soul bones. 134
• Their stabbing attacks can drain both Soul Power and life force from pierced enemies. 134
• Huo Yuhao used them to defeat Heavenly Spirit Academy after being isolated and beaten in the tournament’s elimination round. 134
• He later deployed all eight lances against Meng Hongchen, forcing her onto the defensive before she used the Purple-Gold Red Gourd against him. 169
• Their violent, life-draining appearance led spectators to denounce him as an Evil Soul Master. 134
• After joining the Holy Spirit Cult, he used their devouring power against defeated opponents. During his rampage in Mingdu, he also used the lances to drain fleeing spectators’ Soul Power; Lin Ye blocked all eight with his Fire-Tipped Spear. 189 192

Tang Sect Hidden Weapons

Huo Yuhao has access to Tang Sect hidden weapons during team battles. 53

• Used them in the confrontation with Dai Huabin’s team. 55
• His hidden weapons struck Ren Zhu while she protected him. 55

Undead Powers and Third Martial Soul

Huo Yuhao possesses an Undead Demi-Plane and regards his third Martial Soul as naturally suited to becoming an evil soul master. The third Martial Soul’s specific name is not given in the available account. 189 191

• Opens a rift to release skeletons, corpses, and Undead Knights, later summoning an elite Undead Knight Legion in dark-purple armor. 191 192
• Expanded the rift after his defeat by Ju Zi, allowing undead to attack the arena and fleeing spectators. 191 192
• His undead forces can be purified by Ye Guyi’s Sacred Angel power and countered by the coordinated Demon and Ghost Soldiers from Lin Ye’s demi-plane. 191 192

Soul Engineering and Undead War God Armor

Huo Yuhao has reached Rank Eight Soul Engineer standards through system-exchanged experience, Holy Spirit Cult technology, and resources gained through devouring opponents. In the Underground Soul Engineer Arena, he constructed and wore the Rank Nine humanoid Soul Tool Undead War God Armor. 189

• Secretly fitted a completed core formation into the armor during a timed construction contest that prohibited pre-existing Soul Tools. 189
• The armor automatically attaches to his body and produces black smoke and an evil, corrosive aura. Its defenses blocked Ju Zi’s close-range strike before her Demon-Sealing Slash shattered its shield and knocked him out of the arena. 189 190
• He also summoned a Necromantic Staff, using black chains and corrosive energy blasts against Ju Zi. 190
• He later mass-produced Recording Soul Tools containing information recorded by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for distribution across the continent. 208

Huo Yuhao still hopes to find Tang San in the God Realm. 27 53 107 108 189
• Dai Huabin — Rival and later roommate who bullies Huo Yuhao; both hold intense resentment toward the other. During the tournament, Dai Huabin deliberately declines to help when Huo Yuhao is trapped and beaten behind an earthen wall. 55 97 113 133 134

• Holy Spirit Cult — Its evil soul masters initially abduct Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy. After witnessing his fury toward Sophie and Shrek, they regard his rage as potential valued by their Cult Leader. Huo Yuhao subsequently pursues the position of Holy Son and works with cult elders. 176 189 204

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Enrollment

Huo Yuhao arrives at Shrek through the Tang Sect’s exemption quota and becomes the Jiahao System’s host. His first public task raises his soul power to level 12 but earns him an embarrassing reputation among the new students. 1 2

Freshman Class One

Zhou Yi praises Huo Yuhao for daring to challenge authority, then punishes him with 200 laps. He acquires two leg bones, accidentally disrupts other students with Chicken You Are Too Beautiful, perseveres through heavy rain, unlocks Heroic Value, and is made Class One’s monitor after completing the punishment. 11 12 13 14 16

Ren Zhu’s Arrival and Freshman Assessment

When Soul Venerable transfer student Ren Zhu joins Class One, Huo Yuhao receives an A-rank mission to slap her and kiss Zhou Yi. Despite the humiliation he causes, Ren Zhu later runs alongside him during his punishment, beginning their unusual friendship. 25 26 27

During the Freshman Assessment, Ren Zhu fights beside Huo Yuhao, relying on his Spiritual Detection Sharing. He helps defeat Dai Huabin’s team but suffers a brutal counterattack before Ren Zhu protects him. Their team is later defeated by Lin Ye. 53 55 58

Extreme North Expedition

Guided by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao travels to the Extreme North. A failed attempt to gain the Ice Empress instead gives him an Ice Baboon martial soul and a torso bone; testing its Taunt skill provokes a group of ice baboons, who beat him badly. 84 88 89

Tang San’s Revelation and Sacrifice

After returning to Shrek, Huo Yuhao becomes Dai Huabin’s roommate and endures his bullying while harboring resentment. 97

When three disguised Soul Douluo target Ren Zhu, Huo Yuhao steps forward to protect her with his Ice Baboon Martial Soul. Ren Zhu reveals that Tang San’s divine consciousness controls her body, then sacrifices herself to transfer her hundred-thousand-year cultivation and soul ring to Huo Yuhao, leaving him with the responsibility of protecting the Tang Sect. 107 108

Shrek Reserve Team

Huo Yuhao joins Shrek’s reserve team for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. Tensions with Dai Huabin continue during team training and introductions. 112 113 114

During a training confrontation, he continues seeking Jiahao Value by warning Dai Yueheng to keep his distance from his indiscriminate soul skills. Dai Yueheng remains wary of Huo Yuhao’s abilities despite his hostility toward him. 115

Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament

Wang Yan assigns battlefield command to Huo Yuhao during Shrek’s elimination team battle against Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy. Huo Yuhao arranges his teammates in a fan-shaped display behind him, loudly insults the arena’s young competitors, and gains 100 Jiahao Value. Heavenly Spirit’s control-type Soul Master immediately isolates him behind an earthen wall, where five opponents beat him while Dai Huabin refuses to intervene. 133 134

Huo Yuhao retaliates by releasing the Eight Spider Lances. He defeats Heavenly Spirit Academy, but the lances’ life-draining effects make the crowd brand him an Evil Soul Master and turn public opinion against Shrek Academy. 134

In a later match against the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Meng Hongchen uses the Purple-Gold Red Gourd after calling Huo Yuhao’s name. Because he answers, the defective Soul Tool removes his clothing rather than absorbing him. Publicly humiliated before the arena audience, Huo Yuhao breaks down and flees the stage without retracting his Eight Spider Lances. Dai Huabin and Beibei later surrender rather than risk similar humiliation. 169 170 171

Soul Tool Auction

Huo Yuhao becomes determined to obtain an emerald-green ice-attribute Soul Bone after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm confirms that it would strengthen his Ice Baboon martial soul’s ice element. He attempts to study the auction interface theatrically and prepares to bid with his accumulated fortune. 161

The Soul Bone’s twelve-million-Gold-Soul-Coin starting bid exceeds Huo Yuhao’s savings. Wang Yan attempts to support him with his own wealth, but rival bids rise beyond their means, forcing Huo Yuhao to abandon the purchase. 164

Break with Shrek Academy

Following Shrek’s disastrous tournament defeat, evil soul masters infiltrate the academy and abduct Huo Yuhao. Sophie leads a rescue force, but Huo Yuhao recognizes her flying cables and identifies her as one of the people who forced Ren Zhu’s sacrifice. 176

Convinced that Shrek Academy was responsible for Ren Zhu’s death, Huo Yuhao attacks Sophie with Spiritual Shock and allows the evil soul masters to escape with him. He loses consciousness while being carried away, becoming openly hostile toward the academy he had once trusted. 176

Underground Soul Engineer Arena

In Mingdu, Huo Yuhao competes under the name “Tang Wu.” Hoping a hundredth victory will secure the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Son title, he faces Ju Zi in a contest requiring each fighter to construct a Soul Tool before combat. He presents the Rank Nine Undead War God Armor, having secretly inserted a completed core formation during construction. 189

Huo Yuhao mocks Ju Zi and offers to spare her if she becomes his concubine. She refuses and counters his armor and Necromantic Staff with a newly built Rank Eight Flame Dragon Armor. Her Demon-Sealing Slash breaks his defensive shield and sends him out of the arena. 190

Unable to accept the loss, Huo Yuhao opens his Undead Demi-Plane and unleashes undead upon the venue and its spectators. Ye Guyi tries to purify the horde; Lin Ye intervenes to protect her, blocks Huo Yuhao’s Eight Spider Lances, and deploys Demon and Ghost Soldiers against the undead. After Lin Ye destroys Holy Spirit Cult elder Nangong Wan, Huo Yuhao kneels and repeatedly kowtows for mercy. Lin Ye spares him, telling him to behave and that he can still help him become a god. 191 192 194

Holy Spirit Cult Operations Against Shrek

Huo Yuhao later accompanies Nether Thunder Douluo and Netherworld Douluo to Shrek’s Sea God Island to abduct Beibei and Xu Sanshi. When Xuan Zi intercepts them, Huo Yuhao declares himself the cult’s prospective Holy Son and identifies the two elders, alarming them because Xuan Zi greatly surpasses them in strength. Xuan Zi unexpectedly lets the group leave for reasons of his own. 204

Huo Yuhao subsequently mass-produces Recording Soul Tools containing material recorded by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. He orders their distribution to Shrek Academy, royal families, and cities across the continent, expecting the recordings to ruin Xuan Zi. 208

• Huo Yuhao gained 100 Jiahao Value in a single action by provoking hundreds of thousands of tournament spectators. 133
