Personality

Huo Wu is proud, quick-tempered, and intensely competitive. Raised as an exceptionally gifted student surrounded by admiration, she takes pride in both her talent and appearance. Defeat is difficult for her to accept, and she is determined to win rematches rather than concede another person’s superiority 10 13 14.

Cultivation and tournament success initially matter more to her than romance. She repeatedly tells Feng Xiaotian that she does not want a relationship and resents his almost monthly visits for disrupting her training. Nevertheless, when he stops pursuing her so openly, she misses the sense of superiority his devotion gave her and becomes jealous of his attention to Skywater Academy’s students 10 13 14 28.

Her concern for her family can override her pride. For her mother’s treatment, she accepts errands and indignities that otherwise infuriate her. She also acknowledges that curing Huo Ying would create a genuine debt that she intends to repay 35 36.

• Demonstrated exception: Feng Xiaotian breaks it with Wolf Fang Fist despite being only six levels above her. This is the first time anyone has broken her ring 19 38.

History

Meeting Feng Xiaotian

Two years before the main exchange tournament, Huo Wu visited Skywater Academy with Blazing Fire Academy before she had become a Soul Elder. Feng Xiaotian became infatuated with her and followed her throughout the event. He subsequently visited Blazing Fire Academy whenever he could, despite being repeatedly turned away 3.

During their later sparring sessions, Feng Xiaotian deliberately restricted himself to roughly half his strength and allowed her to win. Unaware of the extent of his restraint, Huo Wu concluded that his combat ability failed to match his talent 10 14.

Five Elemental Academies Exchange Tournament

At fifteen, Huo Wu helped welcome the visiting academies to Blazing Fire. Feng Xiaotian’s refusal to follow her as usual surprised her; his friendliness toward Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er then provoked disappointment and jealousy 9 10 13 14.

She directed Blazing Fire’s victory over Skywater Academy and personally fought Shui Bing'er. After watching Feng Xiaotian defeat Yu Tianxin, however, she realized that he had concealed substantial strength during their earlier spars and resented being kept ignorant 19 20 30.

For the final match against Godwind, she planned to overwhelm Feng Xiaotian’s teammates while Huo Wushuang held him back. Feng Xiaotian instead rushed her formation, immediately incapacitated her brother, and broke her Repelling Fire Ring. Within less than another minute, she was the only Blazing Fire fighter left standing 31 37 38.

After learning that Feng Xiaotian had reached level forty and used a self-created Soul Skill, she conceded and left in tears. His reminder that she was five years younger restored her confidence. She promised to defeat him next time and asked him never to hold back against her again. Blazing Fire finished tied for second with Thunderclap and Skywater 38.

Huo Ying’s Treatment and the Godwind Visit

When Huo Wu discovered that Feng Xiaotian was treating her mother’s fire poison, she expressed disbelief but promised to repay him if he succeeded. At Huo Ying’s request, she began collecting the daily medicine and accommodating his requests 35.

Feng Xiaotian required her to supply a kilogram of dew gathered before dawn. Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang collected it, but he used it for tea and supplied medicine only half as effective as the previous dose. Huo Wu suppressed her anger for her mother’s sake and subsequently delivered the dew at five in the morning 36.

After the tournament, she announced that she would accompany Feng Xiaotian to Godwind City for three months. During the stay, she accidentally walked in on his naked body-tempering practice and afterward avoided his gaze when collecting medicine. Once Huo Ying fully recovered, Huo Wu departed with her mother and brother 38 41 42.

Relationships

• Feng Xiaotian — Persistent suitor and sparring partner whose changed behavior forces her to reassess him. After her tournament defeat, she begins addressing him as “Big Brother Feng”; no romantic relationship is confirmed before her departure from Godwind 10 35 38 42.
• Huo Wushuang — Older brother and team captain. He protects her, supports her tactical decisions, and warns her against underestimating Feng Xiaotian 14 18 31.
• Huo Ying — Mother. Huo Wu protects the privacy of her illness and swallows her grievances to secure her treatment 35 36.
• Huo Lie — Father and Blazing Fire Academy’s vice dean. He tells Feng Xiaotian that winning the exchange tournament might earn him permission to pursue her 17 18.
• Huo Yan — Grandfather and Blazing Fire Academy’s dean. He initially discourages Feng Xiaotian’s pursuit and secretly watches their interactions to ensure she is not harmed 9 13.
• Shui Bing'er — Tournament opponent and focus of Huo Wu’s jealousy over Feng Xiaotian’s attention. Huo Wu views losing his attention to her as another form of defeat 18 20.

Trivia
