Huo Yuhao

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Huo Yuhao grew up at the Duke’s Mansion as a concubine’s child. He was bullied and regarded as little different from a servant beside the legitimate family members. Despite describing his life there as miserable, he never considered suicide 4 13.

After leaving the mansion, he encountered Tian Meng and gained his first Soul Ring. His resentment toward the Duke’s Mansion remained a central motivation: beside Sea God Lake, he vowed to become stronger and take revenge 3 25.

Appearance

• Build: Thin and physically weak-looking; Wang Hai considers him an easy target partly because of his appearance 12.
• Martial Soul manifestation: His eyes themselves form his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul 5.

Personality

Huo Yuhao is compassionate and reluctant to let others suffer on his behalf. He tries to prevent Hui Ye and Bei Bei from wagering their lives over his treatment at Shrek Academy, and becomes alarmed when he believes Bei Bei has seriously injured Hui Ye 6 7.

His gratitude can make him easy to pressure. When Hui Ye invokes earlier favors to demand half of his compensation from Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao reluctantly hands over five hundred Gold Soul Coins. Tian Meng criticizes his softheartedness, but Huo Yuhao considers the payment a way to repay kindness 13.

He nevertheless resents being bullied or denied a choice. Bei Bei’s proposal to wager his educational future destroys much of his favorable impression of the senior student. Later, he protests that he cannot even refuse Bei Bei’s gifts without being pressured to accept them 5 29.

His poverty makes him cautious about money. Even after receiving several thousand Gold Soul Coins, he initially continues selling grilled fish because he fears exhausting his savings. Following the dangerous incident with two Mystic Water Pills, he becomes more focused on cultivation and temporarily sets the stall aside 25 29.

Abilities & Skills

Spirit Eyes

His eye-based Martial Soul provides spiritual perception and support abilities 3 5.

• Detects the overwhelming presence and unstable condition of the rampaging Ma Xiaotao 26.
• Hui Ye recommends the Body Sect for its potential to give Spirit Eyes a Second Awakening, but Huo Yuhao does not undergo one in the documented events 5.
• Hui Ye also considers Spirit Eyes well suited to Soul Tool production; no Soul Tool-making training is shown 5.

Spiritual Detection

A perception skill that produces an all-round, three-dimensional scan, exposing weaknesses and vulnerabilities without blind spots 5.

• Shared support: Can transmit its effects to others. Bei Bei uses the information to identify openings in Xu Sanshi’s movements 3 15.
• Investigation: Helps Huo Yuhao recognize that Hui Ye’s supposedly severe injuries are an act, revealing stable Soul Power fluctuations and no signs of exertion 6.
• Search: Used to look for Hui Ye after the theft of his Mystic Water Pill, though Hui Ye has already escaped its immediate reach 26.
• Practical use: Combined with Spirit Shock to catch fish 3.

Spirit Shock

A spiritual attack capable of incapacitating opponents quickly 13 21.

• Defeats Wang Hai with one attack during the dormitory dispute 13.
• Defeats a level-thirty student in the class competition 21.
• Only briefly stuns Wang Dong. Tian Meng subsequently discovers a divine presence in Wang Dong’s spiritual sea and warns Huo Yuhao against escalating the conflict 13.
• Fails against Hui Ye, whose Immortal Body neutralizes the effect 21.

Tian Meng’s Intervention

Tian Meng resides in Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea and can provide assistance beyond Huo Yuhao’s own demonstrated abilities 13 26.

• Offers to help him escape if the Tang Sect recruiters prevent him from leaving 4.
• Uses Tian Meng’s One Finger to release ultimate ice-cold Soul Power and suppress Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire 26.
• Prevents the medicinal power of two simultaneously consumed Mystic Water Pills from overwhelming Huo Yuhao’s body 29.

Cooking

Huo Yuhao prepares grilled fish with a secret seasoning and develops a business with returning customers 3 25.

• His cooking attracts Tang Ya to his camp in the Star Dou Great Forest 3.
• Runs a roadside stall outside Shrek Academy, preparing ingredients, managing the fire, and grilling fish himself 14 25.
• Hui Ye learns some cooking techniques through working alongside him and later uses Huo Yuhao’s seasoning 28.

Equipment / Items

• Storage Soul Tool bracelet — Given to him by Tang Ya as part of her effort to win him over 13.
• Grilling tools and ingredients — Purchased with money borrowed from Tang Ya to establish his fish business 12.
• Secret grilled-fish seasoning — Used in both his forest cooking and commercial preparations 3 28.
• Two Mystic Water Pills from Bei Bei — Initially kept unused because he does not want to owe Bei Bei a favor. After an unsuccessful attempt to return them, he swallows both at once and requires Tian Meng’s help 16 25 29.
• A later Mystic Water Pill — Obtained following the Sea God Lake incident and stolen by Hui Ye before Huo Yuhao can use it 26.

Relationships

• Tian Meng / Brother Sky Dream — Soul Ring donor, adviser, and protector within his spiritual sea. Huo Yuhao consults him privately about danger, social pressure, and combat; Tian Meng frequently scolds his gullibility and recklessness 3 4 13 29.
• Hui Ye — Benefactor, roommate, friend, and frequent source of humiliation. Huo Yuhao values his early help but repeatedly suffers from his schemes. Despite declaring their friendship over, he later carries out Hui Ye’s requests and looks forward to promised compensation 5 13 24 26 47.
• Tang Ya — Would-be recruiter and practical supporter. She provides Shrek Academy’s recommendation slot, lends him startup money, and gives him a storage bracelet, but he explicitly excludes joining the Tang Sect from his promise to repay her 7 12 13.
• Bei Bei — Initially presents himself as a helpful senior. Huo Yuhao’s trust deteriorates when Bei Bei treats his future as a wager and later attempts to assassinate Hui Ye. Huo Yuhao becomes wary of accepting favors from him 5 20 25.
• Wang Dong — Antagonistic fellow student involved in his forced dormitory move. Compensation settles the immediate dispute but does not remove their mutual hostility 12 13 16.
• Wang Hai — Former roommate who throws his bedding into the corridor and takes his bed. Huo Yuhao defeats him with Spirit Shock 12 13.
• Wang Yan — Homeroom teacher who appoints him deputy monitor. After Huo Yuhao demonstrates his first Soul Skill’s effects, Wang Yan becomes excited and takes him away for further attention 21 26.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Forest Encounter and Recruitment

Tian Meng’s sacrifice gives Huo Yuhao a million-year first Soul Ring. During the same event, Electrolux’s arriving soul fragment turns to Hui Ye instead of entering Huo Yuhao, diverting an opportunity Hui Ye recognizes as originally belonging to him 3.

Tang Ya later follows the smell of Huo Yuhao’s grilled fish and attempts to recruit him. Hui Ye intervenes and presses her to disclose the Tang Sect’s diminished condition: only Tang Ya and Bei Bei remain. Huo Yuhao declines membership after learning the truth 3 4.

Although Hui Ye recommends the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Huo Yuhao chooses to visit Shrek Academy. Tang Ya gives him the Tang Sect’s recommendation slot without securing his agreement to join the sect 5 7.

Dormitory Dispute

After Wang Dong forces Wang Hai to change rooms, Wang Hai instead throws out Huo Yuhao’s bedding and takes his bed. Huo Yuhao objects and attempts to involve the dorm supervisor, but the dispute becomes a fight 12.

He defeats Wang Hai, briefly stuns Wang Dong, and follows Tian Meng’s advice to seek financial compensation rather than escalate against the divine presence protecting Wang Dong. He obtains one thousand Gold Soul Coins and moves into Room 108 with Hui Ye, who persuades him to surrender half the money 13.

Fish Stall and Class Competition

Huo Yuhao establishes a grilled-fish stall with borrowed funds. After Xu Sanshi disrupts the business, Tang Ya persuades him to secretly support Bei Bei in their match. He cuts off Spiritual Detection when Hui Ye points out that he is helping someone cheat 12 14 15.

In Wang Yan’s class competition, Huo Yuhao defeats a level-thirty student and reaches the final against Hui Ye. They agree to settle the match in one move; when Spirit Shock fails, Huo Yuhao concedes. Wang Yan names him deputy monitor 21.

Rumors and the Sea God Lake Incident

When Hui Ye suffers a divine attack, Huo Yuhao initially tries to seek help and later covers for the disturbance by claiming a water heater exploded. Hui Ye’s subsequent remarks instead expose Huo Yuhao to humiliating rumors, which eventually destroy his fish business 22 24 25.

Hui Ye offers to clear his name in exchange for accompanying him on walks. After their promotional effort restores sales, the two visit Sea God Lake, where Huo Yuhao shares his past and vows revenge against the Duke’s Mansion 25.

The outing leads to an encounter with the rampaging Ma Xiaotao. Tian Meng suppresses her Evil Fire after Hui Ye is struck down. Hui Ye then steals Huo Yuhao’s Mystic Water Pill and leaves the academy, prompting Huo Yuhao to tear up his farewell note. Nevertheless, Huo Yuhao reports his leave request to Wang Yan and demonstrates his first Soul Skill as requested 26.

Renewed Cultivation

Huo Yuhao tries to return Bei Bei’s two Mystic Water Pills through Tang Ya. Forced to accept them again, he consumes both in frustration and nearly injures himself before Tian Meng intervenes. He apologizes and resolves to cultivate harder 29.

During Hui Ye’s continued absence, Huo Yuhao receives a letter promising compensation for the stolen pill. Still resentful but cautiously hopeful, he also delivers Hui Ye’s message to Tang Ya 47.

Trivia

• Hui Ye uses Huo Yuhao’s name when introducing himself to a Holy Spirit Cult deacon. The recruitment exchange involves Hui Ye impersonating him, not Huo Yuhao joining the cult 40.
• Hui Ye’s references to Huo Yuhao’s original third Martial Soul concern the original storyline. In this story, Electrolux instead becomes Hui Ye’s teacher and helps awaken Hui Ye’s Holy Necromancer Martial Soul 3 41 45.
