Power Progression

Background / History

Huo Yuxi was raised as a boy under the name Huo Yuhao for protection. Her mother was a servant in the White Tiger Duke’s household; after her mother’s death, Yuxi became determined to grow strong enough to avenge her. She keeps her identity hidden even after entering Shrek Academy, fearing expulsion if it is discovered 3 32 33.

In Star Dou Forest, Xiang Jun saves her from a Wind Baboon. Tang Ya and Bei Bei subsequently help her reach Shrek, where Tang Ya uses the Tang Sect’s admission privilege to secure her place. She becomes Xiang Jun’s roommate in Dormitory 108 and joins Freshman Class One 3 7 8 18.

Xiang Jun’s food, Mysterious Water Pills, and meridian treatments improve her health and cultivation. Shortly before the freshman assessment, he discovers her disguise, and she tells him her real name 9 15 16 20 30 32.

After learning her reasons for concealing her gender, Xiang Jun accepts her explanation. Yuxi continues living in Room 108, which Tang Wutong also temporarily occupies after refusing to share a room with Gu Yuena. Xiang Jun later gives Yuxi thousand-year whale rubber to consume and refine through meditation 33 37 42.

Tang Wutong invites Yuxi to join her Freshman Assessment team alongside Xiao Xiao, thanking her for bringing breakfast each day. During their preparations, Yuxi explains her first soul skill, Visual Perception Enhancement, and receives reassurance from all three companions that its effects are valuable. The team trains against Xiang Jun for half a month before entering the assessment 44 46 47.

During the assessment period, Xian Lin’er recognizes the value of Yuxi’s mental-attribute Body Martial Soul and offers her a Soul Guidance Department Core Disciple position. Yuxi initially hesitates because she wants Xiang Jun’s opinion, but he encourages her to accept. Tang Wutong carries their team through the round-robin matches; the team later loses, although Yuxi passes the Freshman Assessment. She subsequently becomes a Core Disciple of the Soul Guidance Department 50 51 52 59 82.

After Tang Wutong leaves the academy, Yuxi is pleased to have the dormitory to herself and Xiang Jun again. She takes a Soul Ascension Pill at his urging and reaches rank eighteen. Eight months later, as the academy vacation begins, she plans to remain at Shrek and expects to reach the Soul Grandmaster threshold within another week 54 59 64.

By Tang Wutong’s return, Yuxi has resumed dressing as a girl. Tang Wutong discovers her identity and tries to persuade her to move into the girls’ dormitory, but Yuxi points out that Wutong herself previously stayed with Xiang Jun. Their confrontation is defused after Xiang Jun explains Yuxi’s childhood, prompting Wutong to apologize and condemn her father’s neglect 74 75.

Electrolux later expresses an interest in taking Yuxi as his disciple, with Xiang Jun insisting that the decision depend on her own wishes. She subsequently begins studying Necromancy under Electrolux while continuing to work with Soul Tools 81 89.

Appearance

Initially small and visibly malnourished, Yuxi looks healthier after several months of Xiang Jun’s care 3 32.

• Build: Barely five feet tall when she meets Xiang Jun; her height remains much the same after she gains weight 3 32.
• Hair and eyes: Long, dark-blue hair and bright eyes that sometimes show a faint golden light 3 32.
• Disguise: Initially wears boys’ clothing and binds her chest to conceal her gender. By Tang Wutong’s return, she has resumed dressing as a girl 16 32 74.
• Changed appearance: Her formerly sallow skin becomes fair and rosy 32.
• Later development: After roughly a year of improved nutrition, her formerly frail physique has developed considerably, while her face remains youthful 65.

Personality

Yuxi is polite but shy, particularly around Xiang Jun. She rarely answers ridicule directly, although her clenched fists betray how much it hurts. Her low cultivation leaves her prone to comparing herself with more gifted classmates 2 7 8 15 18.

She responds strongly to kindness and tries to repay it through small acts, including cleaning the dormitory, bringing breakfast, and saving grilled fish for Xiang Jun. Her determination can become excessive: while studying, cultivating, and working, she neglects sleep and meals 9 16 28 30.

Her insecurity extends to her own abilities. She initially considers Visual Perception Enhancement almost useless, overlooking its combat applications until Xiang Jun, Tang Wutong, and Xiao Xiao explain its value. She is relieved when her teammates do not mock her low cultivation 46.

Yuxi is deeply attached to Xiang Jun and often prioritizes his feelings. She delays answering Xian Lin’er’s offer because she worries that he might dislike Soul Tools, and she is delighted by opportunities to spend time alone with him. Her jealousy of Tang Wutong persists even when the two cooperate as teammates 38 44 50 54.

Over time, she becomes less easily misled. When Tang Wutong again tries to send her away on an errand, Yuxi refuses, remembering that a previous errand allowed Wutong and Xiang Jun to leave together for the night. She also resists Wutong’s attempt to make her leave Room 108 74 77.

Her childhood experiences contribute to an intense desire for sufficient firepower. After beginning Necromancy, she proposes combining undead creatures with explosive Soul Tools and even considers using more powerful fixed-charge soul shells 89.

Visual Perception Enhancement

Cultivation

• The Mysterious Water Pill clears impurities from her body and improves the flow of energy through her meridians 15 16.

Their relationship becomes increasingly affectionate, and she openly embraces him when he returns to the dormitory 3 8 15 21 31 32 33 50 81 89.

Their rivalry continues, and Yuxi becomes wary of Wutong’s attempts to send her away on errands 17 24 31 44 46 74 75 77.
