Background / History
First Soul Ring Journey
Huo Yuhao knows Lin Chen through Everywhere Express and has received his help repeatedly over the preceding year. He trusts Lin Chen partly because of the agency’s reputation in the Star Luo Empire. Lin Chen accompanies him into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a hundred-year First Soul Ring, accepting a token payment of roughly one hundred grilled fish. Huo Yuhao interprets this arrangement as a way to help him without hurting his dignity 2 3.
While they cook beside a stream, Bei Bei and Tang Ya join them. Lin Chen prices Huo Yuhao’s fish at one Gold Soul Coin each, and Bei Bei pays ten Gold Soul Coins. Huo Yuhao initially refuses, believing ordinary stream fish are worth only a few copper coins, but accepts after Lin Chen prompts him. The earnings give him hope of affording academy tuition once he obtains his First Soul Ring 4.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm subsequently appears and sacrifices himself to Huo Yuhao, ignoring Lin Chen despite the latter’s stronger mental abilities. During the same encounter, Lin Chen draws Electrolux into his own Soul-Luring Lamp. Huo Yuhao loses consciousness, and Lin Chen guards him before telling Bei Bei and Tang Ya that a passing powerful Soul Beast knocked him out. Bei Bei helps carry him out of the forest 5.
Joining the Tang Sect
Tang Ya and Bei Bei persuade Huo Yuhao to join the Tang Sect by offering a cultivation method and special admission to Shrek Academy. He welcomes both opportunities and becomes excited about his future. Learning that Lin Chen will also attend Shrek makes him especially happy 9 10.
During their journey, Lin Chen secretly drugs Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei through their dinner so that he can take Tang Ya away and transform her Martial Soul. Huo Yuhao remains unaware of this intervention 10.
Silver Wolf’s Assassination Setup
Silver Wolf places an order with the King’s Escort Agency to kill Huo Yuhao, presenting herself as an intermediary for the White Tiger Duke’s wife. Wang Wei accepts the contract but recognizes that Huo Yuhao is more significant than an ordinary illegitimate son and warns that killing him will be unusually expensive 22.
Her actual objective is to provoke a clash between the King’s Escort Agency and Everywhere Express through Huo Yuhao’s connection to Lin Chen. She has planted a Puppet Eye on Huo Yuhao to monitor his movements and expects both boys to reach Shrek Academy. Although the contract calls for assassination, she privately intends to keep them alive while the rival agencies weaken each other 22.
Personality
Huo Yuhao is deeply grateful to people who help him. He eagerly cooks more fish when Lin Chen praises his food, and the narration describes him as someone willing to give his life for a person who treats him well. This trust also leaves him unaware of Lin Chen’s concealed motives and actions 3 10.
He is modest about his own work but quick to read social cues: he initially rejects Bei Bei’s generous payment, then promptly accepts when he understands Lin Chen’s signal. His confidence is sensitive to comparisons with stronger cultivators—Lin Chen’s assessment of his physique discourages him—but access to training and academy admission quickly renews his optimism 3 4 9.
