Background / History

Xiao Wu left the Star Dou Forest six years before Ye Feng encountered Shrek Academy's group. A humanoid-transformed soul beast, she had returned to the forest once while condensing her second Soul Ring but otherwise missed Ye Feng's rise as the Soul Beast clan's Young Master. She joined Shrek Academy alongside Tang San. 4 10

During Shrek's search for a third Soul Ring, Ye Feng detects her aura and instructs the Titan Giant Ape to bring her to a secluded valley. There, Xiao Wu learns that Ye Feng—the powerful young Soul Master she already admires—is the Young Master of all Soul Beasts. 4 10

Ye Feng warns her that exposure of her soul beast identity would lead human experts to kill her for her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. He gives her Aura Concealment, allowing her to suppress her origin aura even from Titled Douluo-level detection. 10

Initially repulsed by Ye Feng eating Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent meat, Xiao Wu is forced to confront the Star Dou Forest's predatory hierarchy: weak soul beasts are food for stronger carnivores, while her former safety depended heavily on the protection and status surrounding her. She ultimately eats the meat, finds it unexpectedly delicious, and condenses her third Soul Ring. 11

After returning to Shrek, Xiao Wu hides the truth of her encounter, claiming she escaped and happened upon a dying soul beast. Her feelings toward Tang San have shifted to familial affection, while her admiration for Ye Feng drives her to cultivate and prove Shrek's worth to him. 11

Appearance

Xiao Wu is depicted with large dark-brown eyes and later described as having dark crimson eyes. She is noted for having long legs. 5 11 19

• Dark-brown eyes during the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent dispute. 5
• Dark crimson eyes while eating grilled Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent meat. 11
• Her legs are specifically compared favorably against Ning Rongrong's. 19

Personality

Xiao Wu possesses the Admiration for Strength Psychology Trait: she is highly competitive, naturally drawn to powerful people, and looks down on the weak. 6

She initially sees weaker soul beasts as friends and struggles to accept soul beast predation. Ye Feng's blunt explanation of the forest's food chain leaves her embarrassed but forces her to acknowledge a reality she had avoided. 11

She becomes increasingly dismissive of Tang San after his defeat by Ye Feng, criticizing his dependence on others and rejecting his hostility toward Ye Feng. Despite this, she retains genuine familial concern for Tang San as her longtime companion. 9 11 19
