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
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

- Caught and roasted fish using Spirit Eyes despite having only Level 1 Soul Power in the historical scenario. 100
