Background / History

Huo Yuhao left the Duke's Estate as a ragged, underfed boy of eleven or twelve, possessing only Level 10 Soul Power and no soul ring. He initially approached Origin Internet Cafe merely looking for rest, but hunger led him to accept Lu Yuan's offer of work grilling fish. Years of contempt at the Duke's Estate had already made him a capable cook. 2 3

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea to evade Red King. Although the experience left him unconscious and frightened, it gave him a powerful spiritual companion; together, they enabled full-map detection during Monster Hunter training. Huo Yuhao's precise guidance was central to his party's victory over Anjanath and earned him recognition from Red King and Tang Ya. 3 5

After entering Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao began applying game-derived tactics to real combat. He avoided a needless fight with Wang Dong by proposing a match at the internet cafe, then formed a freshman-assessment team with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. The trio used Flash Pods, coordinated ambushes, and Huo Yuhao's spiritual attacks to overwhelm stronger opponents, including Dai Huabin's team. 6 17 18 20

Resident Evil training transformed Huo Yuhao's mentality. He remained analytical against the Licker, Tyrant, and G-mutants, directing his teammates through fear, injury, and exhaustion. Upon clearing Resident Evil 2, his spiritual power and resolve had developed enough for Tianmeng to deem him ready for the Far North. 35 37 40 42

Before departing north, Huo Yuhao cleared Lu Yuan's Iceborne trial by defeating Barioth through traps and items. In the Far North, he navigated the lethal cold with hunter equipment and supplies, confronted Ice Empress without kneeling, and persuaded her to seek another path at the internet cafe. Ice Empress ultimately became an attendant rather than his soul spirit; Lu Yuan instead granted Huo Yuhao Velkhana's data essence, awakening his Ultimate Ice martial soul. 43 44 45 47

Within the ten-thousand-years-earlier Douluo Continent Online scenario, Huo Yuhao was assigned the identity of Star Luo's unwanted illegitimate Fifth Prince. Despite beginning with only first-rank innate Soul Power, he escaped the palace, survived through hunting and cooking, joined Tang San's group, and used system-assisted battlefield marking to become their principal commander. 99 100 104 107

After deceiving Shrek's examiner to enter the scenario academy, Huo Yuhao led the candidates through Zhao Wuji's Fourth Trial and later formed the Haodong Team with Wang Dong at the Soto Great Soul Arena. He used tactical predictions, Spiritual Interference, and special-operations principles to defeat opponents ranging from hammer-wielding brothers to Xiao Hongchen's Golden Team. 105 107 109 110

Following the scenario's forced twenty-four-hour logout, Huo Yuhao remained an active participant in the internet cafe's competitive and cooperative games. He attempted to coordinate the Human Team in Overcooked, accidentally triggered a village raid through the [Bad Omen] effect while adventuring with Wang Dong, and continued to apply attrition tactics in Pokémon battles. 115 116 133 154

At the Heaven Dou City branch, Huo Yuhao continued playing alongside the advice of Tianmeng and Electrolux, whose spiritual senses alerted him to concealed threats and suspicious characters in the games he explored. Later, while playing Black Myth: Wukong with Wang Dong’er and other customers, he helped assess skill upgrades and equipment for the party's attempts against King Black Wind. Repeated defeats taught the group to read the boss's feints and timing; Wang Dong’er ultimately defeated him on their fourteenth attempt. 206 210 242 243

Appearance

Huo Yuhao first appeared skinny and poorly clothed, with large holes in his coarse linen garments after leaving the Duke's Estate. 2 Following his Far North journey, he returned in a white hooded overcoat with a snowy fur collar, appearing calmer and more mature than before. 48

• Initially carried luggage and wore ragged clothing. 2
• Has Spirit Eyes, which can shine with white or golden spiritual light when his abilities are active. 105
• His Velkhana possession manifests crystalline ice armor, enormous ice wings, and an Elder Dragon-like aura. 48 53
• His presence after awakening Velkhana instinctively repelled Xu Sanshi and was recognized by Bei Bei as high-ranking dragon might. 48

Personality

Huo Yuhao is resourceful, adaptable, and unusually composed under pressure. Early recognition from powerful soul beasts meant a great deal to him, but repeated game-based survival training turned his initial timidity into disciplined confidence. 5 35 42

He favors preparation, information control, and exploiting openings over straightforward confrontation. Huo Yuhao sees stealth, terrain, traps, and battlefield control as legitimate tactics rather than dishonorable tricks. 18 28 48

His experiences at the Duke's Estate left him deeply self-reliant and wary of trusting others blindly. He resonated strongly with Han Li's cautious temperament, yet he is willing to protect teammates and stand before overwhelming foes when necessary. 40 44 89

Huo Yuhao is also a pragmatic leader, though his attempts to command less disciplined allies can be frustrated by poor communication and impulsive behavior. He retains his patience in non-lethal competitive games, favoring reliable mechanical advantages over flashy displays. 116 154

Repeated failure against King Black Wind did not stop him from testing the boss's reach and examining how the party's newly acquired skills could work together. He recognized the value of Wang Dong’er’s precisely timed attacks and praised her successful fight. 242 243

Abilities & Skills

Spirit Eyes and Mental Detection

Huo Yuhao's primary martial soul grants exceptional spiritual perception and forms the foundation of his command-oriented fighting style.

• Used Tianmeng's assistance to provide full-map detection, identify monster weak points, and anticipate attacks in Monster Hunter. 5
• Can analyze openings in an opponent's stance almost instinctively. 6
• Marks enemy weak points and projects optimal attack routes for allies during combat. 107
• Used low-level Mental Detection to track fish underwater and control cooking heat precisely. 100 103
• Used the scenario's [Tactical Mark] function to identify the Datura Snake's vulnerabilities, Scarlet King's movements, and safe attack routes for Tang San and Wang Dong. 104
• Shared battlefield information with Shrek's reserve team through Spirit Detection Sharing, allowing precise targeting even after a Flash Pod blinded the opposing team. 52
• Even when the internet cafe's rules sealed his Soul Power and soul skills, his innate eyesight and dynamic vision helped him resolve blurred, pixelated route markings into a three-dimensional mental image and navigate them precisely. 173

Spiritual Interference and Soul Shock

Huo Yuhao can disrupt enemy concentration and spiritual awareness with precisely targeted mental power.

• Interrupted Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's martial soul fusion skill with Soul Shock. 20
• Used Spiritual Interference to deceive Shrek's admissions examiner into misjudging his Soul Power. 105
• His Wind Baboon-based Mental Interference briefly stunned Zhao Wuji by filling his mind with hallucinated shrieking Wind Baboons. 107
• Can assist allies by disrupting opponents while they exploit marked vulnerabilities. 109
• Disrupted Tie Long's balance during the Haodong Team's first Great Soul Arena match, creating an opening for Wang Dong's attack. 109

Simulation

Simulation is a Wind Baboon soul-ring skill that alters visual perception.

• Changes the apparent color and number of his soul rings to conceal his true cultivation. 105
• Concealed himself and Wang Dong while they observed Tang Hao confronting Zhao Wuji. 108
• Its deceptive effect requires Huo Yuhao to combine illusion with Spiritual Interference when facing powerful inspectors. 105 109
• Falsified the Soul Power fluctuations of a Level 21 Soul Grandmaster while registering at the Soto Great Soul Arena despite being only Level 17 in the historical scenario. 109

Velkhana Martial Soul / Ultimate Ice

Huo Yuhao's second martial soul is derived from Velkhana, an Elder Dragon whose power grants him dragon-type Ultimate Ice abilities. 47

• Manifested as a colossal ice-crystal dragon phantom with crown-like horns and immense dragon might. 48
• First Soul Skill: Ice Wall Formation — raises thick, angled ice walls that can block and deflect incoming attacks. 48
• Creates ice walls, ice mazes, and ice blades to divide enemies, dictate movement, and attack through blind spots. 48 53
• Can form crystalline ice armor and wings while using Velkhana's power. 53
• Used Ultimate Ice to suppress the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's thermal imaging and create cover for Shrek's counterattack. 56

Life and Light Purification

Huo Yuhao can combine the Gold of Life with Elex/Electrolux's power to oppose darkness and death energy.

• Purified the curse within Ma Rulong's eighth-grade Sword of Judgment. 57
• Broke the forbidden Soul Tool barehanded, leaving it without any remaining Soul Power. 57

Basic Divine Sense Object Manipulation

Huo Yuhao obtained this cultivation-world technique after resonating with Han Li's fighting methods. 90

• Attaches spiritual power to objects for short-range remote manipulation. 90
• Is suited to controlling hidden weapons in combination with Tang Sect techniques. 90
• Does not possess the long-range reach of advanced sword-control methods. 90

Battlefield Tactics

Huo Yuhao treats combat as a problem of positioning, resources, enemy behavior, and timing.

• Used Flashbugs to blind Rathian, creating an opening for Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong. 18
• Adapted the Flash Pod tactic into a real-world weapon, helping his team win an assessment match in under ten seconds. 18
• Defeated Barioth through traps and items rather than direct force. 43
• Used the Left 4 Dead 2 Tank's physics mechanics to launch a sedan into Di Tian and Wang Qiuer. 78
• Recognized support and control as Atreus's true role in God of War 4, improving his coordination with Wang Dong. 82
• Applied special-operations analysis to identify Xiao Hongchen's flash grenades, smoke bombs, ray guns, and poison deployment as a coordinated Soul Tool warfare system. 110
• In Pokémon, used Thunder Wave, Smokescreen, accuracy reduction, and gradual attrition to catch Pokémon and defeat Misty's Starmie. 154
• In Black Myth: Wukong, tested King Black Wind's attack range and discovered that even the boss's spear thrusts carried tracking sword qi. He identified Instant Immobilization and the Bronze Monkey Mask as a complementary way to punish the boss's attacks, though Wang Dong’er executed the winning strategy. 242 243

Cooking and Survival

Huo Yuhao developed practical skills through hardship and refined them through spiritual perception.

• Grills fish with strong heat control and seasoning technique. 3
• Caught and roasted fish using Spirit Eyes despite having only Level 1 Soul Power in the historical scenario. 100
• Travelled through the Far North by conserving Soul Power, using terrain, hot drinks, and concealment rather than brute force. 43
• Attempted to direct the Human Team through the high-pressure kitchen tasks of Overcooked, though poor coordination prevented the team from succeeding. 116

In-Game Spells and Skills

These abilities were acquired within Black Myth: Wukong and are not established as Huo Yuhao's real-world soul skills. 242 243

• Instant Immobilization — an upgrade unlocked by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er that strengthens the effect of immobilizing an enemy at the moment it attacks and increases follow-up damage. 242
