History
Early Defeat and Special Training
Huo Yuhao attends Freshman Class One under Zhou Yi, whose training includes weighted running and threats of expulsion. When Zhou Yi compares his physique favorably with Gu Ming’s, both Gu Ming and Dai Huabin reject the comparison, pointing to Huo Yuhao’s one-ring cultivation 13 14.
Zhou Yi orders Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao to fight Gu Ming together. Gu Ming defeats all three with Indomitable Cross Slash, striking before Huo Yuhao can use a soul skill. Huo Yuhao remains silent afterward, disappointed that he performed worst among his teammates. Zhou Yi attributes their loss to weak physical conditioning and immature fighting methods, then sets defeating Gu Ming at the tournament as their training goal 14 15.
Freshman Assessment Tournament
Despite remaining a one-ring Soul Scholar, Huo Yuhao helps his team win difficult matches and reach the finals. Gu Ming’s victories initially leave the trio doubtful, but Huo Yuhao regains confidence when Wang Dong reminds him of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Golden Road 22 23.
In the final, Huo Yuhao observes the battle while Wang Dong attacks and Xiao Xiao controls the opposing team. His Mental Confusion disrupts Dai Huabin’s vision, creating an opening for Wang Dong to drive Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu back. Their coordinated tactics force Gu Ming to intervene 24.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong then unleash Golden Road against Gu Ming. His Ice Soul dragon overwhelms the fusion skill, and Du Weilun intervenes before the dragon can devour them. Gu Ming’s team wins the championship 24 25.
Aftermath and Academy Recognition
The defeat shakes Huo Yuhao’s confidence in his goal of taking revenge on Dai Huabin. He tells Wang Dong that he may leave Shrek at the end of the semester, considering another place to develop rather than waiting to fail a later assessment 25.
Although his team reaches the final, Huo Yuhao receives only provisional core-student status in the Martial Soul Department. The academy’s senior officials judge his potential insufficient for full status, leaving him deeply upset 25.
Personality
Huo Yuhao is determined but vulnerable to discouragement when confronted with a large gap in strength. Encouragement from Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao helps him renew his resolve during the tournament, but the final defeat makes him question whether remaining at Shrek will let him achieve his revenge 22 25.
In combat, he is observant and cooperative. He waits for a useful opening to disrupt Dai Huabin and immediately understands Wang Dong’s signal to begin their fusion skill 24.
