Xiao Wu

Biodata

Background / History

Previous Timeline

In Qian Renxue’s previous life, Xiao Wu and Tang San shared a devotion so deep that they were willing to die for each other. Xiao Wu sacrificed herself and later returned to life. These events are recalled by the reborn Qian Renxue; they have not occurred in the current timeline 3 25.

Qian Renxue believed Xiao Wu’s advantage had been meeting Tang San first. After her rebirth, she sought him out early to prevent their relationship from developing in the same way 1 2.

Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy

Xiao Wu was already close to Tang San when he announced that he had dropped out of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy. His sudden decision to leave bewildered her 1.

Light Feather Douluo discovered her identity as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and proposed capturing her for Qian Renxue’s future Soul Ring. Qian Renxue stopped him, privately fearing that harming Xiao Wu would turn Tang San against her. She instead enrolled at the academy to compete for his affection 2 3.

When Xiao Wu met Qian Renxue, she mistook the older-looking student for a teacher. Her friendly introduction gave way to jealousy as Qian Renxue ignored her and openly held Tang San’s hand 12.

Yu Xiaogang exploited Xiao Wu’s anxiety about Tang San joining Spirit Hall. Although she initially refused his offer of discipleship, she accepted after he claimed that his teaching would let her surpass Tang San and convince him to return. Watching Tang San leave with Qian Renxue, she resolved to become stronger 12 13.

Shrek Academy and Reunion

During the eight years following Tang San’s departure, Xiao Wu entered Shrek Academy and trained desperately, hoping to defeat Qian Renxue. Her soft techniques and fierce behavior earned her an intimidating reputation among the students 16 26.

She reunited with Tang San in the Star Dou Great Forest, immediately embracing him and asking him not to leave again. He declined to transfer from Spirit Hall Academy but reassured her that attending different schools did not prevent them from remaining close 26.

When Ma Hongjun and Yu Xiaogang tried to separate them, Xiao Wu defended her right to speak with Tang San. She also repudiated Yu Xiaogang as her teacher, saying that he had deceived her and taught her nothing useful. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing supported her 27.

Before returning to the Shrek group, Xiao Wu gave Tang San a wooden comb and promised to see him at the National Soul Master Elite Tournament 27.

Exposure to Spirit Hall

Yue Guan and Gui Mei recognized Xiao Wu’s true form during the forest encounter and intended to capture her. Tang San intervened, citing Spirit Hall’s internal rivalries and offering to help them obtain Soul Bones. They ultimately agreed to pretend they had seen nothing 27 28.

Qian Renxue had also stationed observers to report Xiao Wu’s movements. Learning that both she and Tang San were in the forest prompted Qian Renxue to rush to meet him, afraid that Xiao Wu might win him back 32.

Appearance

• Hair: Long black hair worn in a scorpion braid extending past her hips 12.
• Face: A pretty, fair face with rosy cheeks and large, watery eyes 12.
• Clothing: Simple but neatly kept clothes; she is also seen wearing pink near the academy entrance 2 12.

Personality

Xiao Wu is openly affectionate toward Tang San, expressing her attachment through enthusiastic embraces and direct requests to remain together. His closeness with Qian Renxue makes her jealous, but reassurance that he has not forgotten her quickly restores her optimism 12 26.

She is outspoken and confrontational when challenged. She threatens Ma Hongjun with a beating for interfering in her friendship and publicly rejects Yu Xiaogang’s authority. Her fierceness is familiar enough that other Shrek students privately question whether anyone could make her more unruly 27.

Her desire to reunite with Tang San initially makes her susceptible to manipulation. Nevertheless, her experience at Shrek leads her to reassess Yu Xiaogang and recognize his poor teaching. She also regards everyone in Spirit Hall as a villain, though she remains attached to Tang San after he joins it 13 27.
