Xiao Wu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Xiao Wu took human form to cultivate more quickly and become strong enough to take revenge on a tiger. As a transformed Soul Beast, she did not need to hunt corresponding Soul Beasts for her first six Soul Rings 8 27.

At Nuoding Academy, she defeated Wang Sheng and became the leader of Dorm Seven, asking its work-study students to call her “Sister Xiao Wu.” She shared bedding with Lin Ping and became close to Tang San and Xiang Yang. Three years later, she reluctantly left Nuoding with them for Shrek Academy 6 8 9.

During a visit to the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu became concerned that changes to Soul Ring cultivation might intensify hunting for Soul Bones and threaten her own kind. She asked Xiang Yang whether humans and Soul Beasts could coexist peacefully; he proposed a symbiotic relationship 27.

Tang San later discovered her identity through his Purple Demon Eye but continued to regard her as family. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Wu consumed the Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum and stayed to help Xiang Yang monitor the Nine Yang Ginseng. After returning to Shrek, she subdued the former Blue Tyrant Academy’s troublemakers and established a fearsome reputation 49 51 53 67.

Appearance

When Xiao Wu first appears at Nuoding Academy, she is a young girl dressed in pink 6.

• She wears two rabbit-ear ornaments on her head 6.
• When she activates Red-Eyed Moonshadow, her eyes turn blood-red and display silver crescent-moon patterns 8.
• After acquiring moon-attribute Soul Rings, her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul develops faint silvery-white markings 28.

Personality

Xiao Wu is lively, playful and fond of having followers. At Nuoding, she enjoyed having “little brothers” and was reluctant to leave that life behind. She also liked food and spent freely; after she lost twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins in a bet, Tang San and Xiang Yang limited the money she carried 8 9 22.

She can be rash and competitive, but she keeps up her Soul Power cultivation even when she avoids the boys’ sweaty group training. She was initially hesitant to consume her Immortal Herb because she thought the flower was too beautiful and precious to use up 13 22 51.

Her concern for Soul Beasts is shaped by her own experience rather than a blanket identification with every species. She recognizes that different Soul Beasts prey on one another, but fears for the Soft Bone Rabbit clan and those close to her 27.

Abilities & Skills

Waist Bow

Xiao Wu’s first Soul Skill supports her close-range fighting style. Combined with Red-Eyed Moonshadow, it lets her deliver a rapid, high-burst attack 8.

• She used the combination and a flurry of kicks to knock Dai Mubai out of the arena before his vision returned 11.
• Xiang Yang considered her capable of defeating a Soul Master ten levels above her with a single combination 8.

Red-Eyed Moonshadow

Her second Soul Skill combines a personal enhancement with a delayed spiritual attack 8.

• Increases movement speed, nerve response and Soul Power circulation by 30%, while providing some resistance to pain and negative spiritual conditions.
• After making eye contact, Xiao Wu can trigger a one-sided spiritual shock once within the next minute. A moon appears in the target’s vision and obstructs their sight.
• The obstruction lasts at most one minute and is less effective against stronger spirits. The one-sided shock causes no backlash even when the target’s spiritual strength greatly exceeds hers.
• The enhancement’s stated side effect is a period of mental fatigue. Against Zhao Wuji, whose level was about forty higher, the visual obstruction lasted one second 8 19.

Power of the Moon

Xiao Wu’s third Soul Skill is associated with her first Thousand-Year Soul Ring 25.

• Increases attack and defense by 30% and converts her Soul Power to a silver moon attribute.
• Her attacks leave moon marks on opponents that she can detonate.
• The skill initially lasts ten minutes, with its duration able to grow as she advances.

Moon Rabbit’s Light

Xiao Wu shapes Soul Power into several forms for offense and physical enhancement 21.

• Cannonballs: Provide burst damage against a point or an area.
• Circular blades: Pierce armor and cut; they can turn and track targets to a limited extent.
• Physical enhancement: Raises her physical abilities by up to approximately 30% at the time described.
• She considers shaping the energy into weapons, including a stick or whip.

Soul Sensing and Concealment

After refining the Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum, Xiao Wu gained the ability to perceive changes in souls, including emotions and thoughts expressed through scattered Spiritual Power. She used it to detect a tiny soul within the Nine Yang Ginseng and assess its developing intelligence 53.

The herb also concealed her nature: Tang Hao could no longer sense whether she was human or a transformed Soul Beast, even when she stood before him 53.

Relationships

• Tang San — Her close companion, whom she calls Third Brother. He regarded her as family after discovering her identity, and they later expressed how much they had missed each other 30 49 72.
• Xiang Yang — A close friend who advised her on Soul Skill development and proposed a path toward human–Soul Beast coexistence. They frequently tease each other 8 27 30.
• Lin Ping — Xiao Wu shared bedding with her at Nuoding and later arranged for her to stay in the same dormitory at Shrek 6 49.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing — Fellow Shrek students who cheered Xiao Wu on as she subdued troublemakers at the academy 67.
• Tai Long — A Shrek student who treats Xiao Wu as his senior. On her instructions, he also gives Tang San the respect due an older brother 67.
• Da Ming and Er Ming — Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts whom Xiao Wu worries about when considering the future of her kind 27.
