Background / History

Huo Xiaohei first manifests when Huo Yuhao feeds spiritual power and Soul Power into the raven-shaped mask left by Aha, the Aeon of Elation. Immediately familiar with his original, he throws an arm around Yuhao and calls him “Huo Xiaobai.” Yuhao names him Huo Xiaohei, and their introduction quickly becomes a room-wrecking fistfight 75.

Although initially presented as a newly created double, Xiaohei has a connection to a much older history. After Huo Yuhao’s rampage in the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian reveals that he met both Yuhao and Xiaohei ten thousand years earlier. The supplied account does not explain how that history connects to Xiaohei’s manifestation in Star Luo City 136.

Appearance

Xiaohei initially has Huo Yuhao’s face, distinguished by brighter coloring and a persistent mischievous smile. He later adopts different appearances, particularly his Sampo persona 75 82 87.

• Original appearance: Purple hair with subtle red streaks, ruby-red eyes, and a pale-gold flame marking at the outer corner of one eye 75.
• Tournament clothing: Black clothes; spectators describe him and Yuhao as resembling twins 76.
• Sampo disguise: Tousled blue hair, green or turquoise eyes, and Sampo’s signature outfit; he also wears black clothing during his nighttime visit to Long Aotian 82 87 93.
• Raven attire: Appears in fitted night-raven feather clothing when approaching Phantylia 125.
• Later appearance: Described with loose black hair and a defiant gaze during his intervention against Yuhao’s rampage 136.

Personality

Xiaohei treats fighting, negotiation, and political intimidation as performances. He enjoys teasing prodigies, provoking opponents, and turning solemn settings into spectacles. In the arena, his friendly manner conceals a willingness to torment opponents mentally; he loses interest in Situ Yu once the captain breaks under his attacks 76 77 83 87.

His independence regularly frustrates Huo Yuhao. He refuses to stop calling his original “Huo Xiaobai,” evades attempts to return him to the mask, and pursues schemes without explaining them. Nevertheless, his rebellion is not betrayal: he explicitly regards protecting his main body as an enduring commitment, even while considering embarrassing Yuhao the greatest possible entertainment 76 79 83.

He can abandon his joking manner when necessary. His approach to Phantylia becomes cold and solemn, and he intervenes seriously when Yuhao can no longer distinguish allies from enemies 125 136.

Abilities & Skills

Avatar Physiology and Shared Strength

• Inherits 80% of Huo Yuhao’s base strength and all of his intellect 76 87.
• Is an extension of Yuhao’s Soul Power and mental strength. For tournament purposes, he counts as one of Yuhao’s Soul Skills rather than an additional team member 76.
• Possesses a natural affinity for Elation and handles the Fool’s Mask more deftly than Yuhao himself 76.
• Returns to the Night Raven Mask, after which Yuhao receives vivid memories of his tournament battles 78.
• Retains an independent mind and personality despite the usual merging of an avatar’s memories, permissions, and understanding with its main body—an anomaly that puzzles Phantylia 125.

Raven Mist and Intangibility

• Dissolves into black mist and reappears elsewhere, evading Yuhao, Ning Tian, and tournament opponents 76.
• Produces illusory raven wings while hovering near a ceiling beam 76.
• Turns his spirit form intangible, allowing Cheng Gang’s physical attack to pass through without injury 82.
• His arena movement produces no Soul Power fluctuation detectable by Xiao Hongchen; the observer questions whether it is ordinary teleportation 76.

Mental Attacks

• Annihilation: Uses the innate Soul Skill to immobilize Ma Yingjun, then knocks him into the arena barrier 76.
• Sleep Dart: Puts Shang Yue and Situ Yu to sleep 77.
• Raven attacks: Bypass Situ Yu’s Alloy Fortress and assault his mind, causing pain and an uncontrolled frenzy 77.
• Limit against overwhelming power: His first Sleep Dart barely affects the rampaging Yuhao; repeated shots are needed to put him to sleep 136.

Disguise and Selective Perception

• Uses the Sampo persona to approach imperial figures and prospective Holy Grail War participants 82 87 93.
• Makes himself visible and audible to Xiao Hongchen while everyone nearby sees empty air 87.
• Leaves Xiao Hongchen with vivid memories of their encounter that he cannot communicate, as though an invisible rule has sealed them. Xiaohei can still address him privately afterward 87.
• Huo Yuhao considers him suitable for disguises and much of the dirty work required to pose as an Evil Soul Master within the Holy Spirit Cult; this is a contingency plan, not a documented completed infiltration 155.

Elation Authority and Games

• Conjures a colossal Monopoly board inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, then compresses it to palm-sized form 83.
• Controls the game’s rules and decides victory or defeat according to his own preferences 83.
• Uses spectacle, misleading claims, and uncertainty to unsettle Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu 82 83.
• Contacts Aha through the Night Raven Mask and secures agreement to a secret deal without revealing its details 83.

Combat Tactics

• Excels at unpredictable close combat, making him particularly suited to individual elimination matches 76.
• Disarms Ma Yingjun psychologically with a gentle introduction before appearing behind him with a revolver 76.
• Provokes Shang Yue into reckless attacks and Situ Yu into indiscriminate fire, exploiting their loss of composure 77.

Equipment / Items

• Night Raven Mask / Fool’s Mask — Aha’s gift to Huo Yuhao; manifests Xiaohei, houses him when he withdraws, and provides his connection to Aha 75 78 83.
• Raven-feather revolver — Matte-black firearm engraved with dark-purple raven feathers; used to threaten opponents and deliver Sleep Darts. Its origin is not established 76 77.
• Gold-patterned invitations — Distributed to prospective Elation Holy Grail War participants, including Xiao Hongchen 87.
• Gilded Black Dragon Card — Releases Di Tian, whom Xiaohei sends into the Star Dou Great Forest 128.

Relationships

• Huo Yuhao — Main body and frequent target of his teasing. Their arguments can become fistfights, but Xiaohei remains protective and stops Yuhao’s uncontrolled rampage 75 79 83 136.
• Aha — Aeon associated with his powers and the source of the mask. Xiaohei negotiates a secret deal that Aha accepts for its entertainment value 75 83.
• Ning Tian — Teases her by calling her “Tian’er” and leaning close; evades her startled pincer attack 76.
• Xiao Hongchen — Recruits him for the Holy Grail War by exploiting his interest in Shrek’s secrets and desire to defeat Yuhao 87.
• Long Aotian — Visits him at night as Sampo during the Holy Grail War recruitment arc; Long Aotian responds with immediate suspicion and an attack 93.
• Xu Jiawei — Intimidates the emperor through his Sampo disguise and a rigged board game, then jokes about helping him unify the continent 82 83.
• Xu Jiujiu — A wary political observer who questions him during the game and warns her brother about his unpredictability 83.
• Phantylia — Approaches the Lord Ravager with an invitation and an alleged opportunity; she is disturbed by his independent existence 125.
• Di Tian — An acquaintance from ten thousand years earlier. Xiaohei assigns him to protect the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then thanks him during the intervention against Yuhao 128 136.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Continental Tournament

Yuhao allows Xiaohei to fight the individual matches both to rest after a sleepless night and to conceal major abilities such as the Heavenly Eye and Imperial Bow. Xiaohei draws the one-on-one elimination format against Yunluo Advanced Soul Engineer Academy 76.

He defeats Ma Yingjun almost immediately, then overcomes Shang Yue and captain Situ Yu with evasive movement, taunts, and mental attacks. Yunluo concedes. The audience celebrates his theatrical victory, but Yuhao dismisses the performance as embarrassing; Xiaohei retreats into the mask in protest 76 77 78.

Auction Scheme and Imperial Palace Visit

After another fight with Yuhao, Xiaohei proposes a scheme involving the Snow Empress’s Soul Beast Embryo. Later, appearing as Sampo, he tells Xu Jiawei that Aha exchanged the embryo for ten ten-thousand-year Soul Bones—a claim presented as part of his deception 79 82.

He transforms the palace into a Monopoly venue and toys with the imperial siblings. Before leaving, he warns Xu Jiawei that only nine “Fool Game License” chances remain, then contacts Aha to arrange another undisclosed scheme 83.

Elation Holy Grail War

Xiaohei recruits Xiao Hongchen with promises of extraordinary rewards, information about Shrek, and a chance to defeat Yuhao. He also visits Long Aotian as Sampo and later approaches Phantylia with an invitation 87 93 125.

His role expands from recruiter to director of events. He releases Di Tian into the Star Dou Great Forest to monitor Evil Soul Masters and protect the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, while considering another twist to his “script.” Di Tian warns that harm to the Auspicious Beast would provoke a beast tide 128.

Stopping the Ming Lord Rampage

After Yuhao kills the Asura God and turns on his allies, Di Tian calls out Xiaohei’s name. Xiaohei appears and repeatedly fires Sleep Darts until Yuhao falls asleep. Following a brief comic outburst when Yuhao falls onto him, he withdraws into the Night Raven Mask 136.
