Background / History

Su Xiao named Xiao Bai after killing the Radiant Rhinoceros Dragon mother for her Soul Ring. Before dying, the mother accepted Su Xiao's promise that he would care for her child. Xiao Bai initially tried to rouse his mother's body and became distraught after it was removed from view. Su Xiao calmed him through Martial Soul Possession and honored the promise thereafter. 9

By the time Su Xiao applied to Shrek Academy, Xiao Bai was a five-hundred-year Sub-Dragon Soul Beast. Su Xiao repeatedly rejected the description of Xiao Bai as a pet, identifying him instead as his partner. 12 44 During Zhao Wuji's assessment, Xiao Bai charged to defend Su Xiao; Su Xiao intercepted Zhao Wuji's strike and absorbed most of the impact so Xiao Bai would not be harmed. 17

Xiao Bai remained close to Su Xiao throughout the Shrek period. He guarded outside Su Xiao's room without eating or drinking while Su Xiao was unconscious, carried him once he recovered, and accepted food directly from him. 47 He also aided Su Xiao and Tang San during their confrontation with Dugu Bo. 50

Su Xiao brought Xiao Bai into the Ancient Dragon Clan Secret Realm, where the pair fought dragon souls and absorbed their power over two years. Xiao Bai's cultivation surged from the thousand-year stage to the threshold of ten thousand years, and he developed a seamless combat rhythm with Su Xiao. 107 108 Absorbing fragments of the Holy Light Dragon Emperor later elevated Xiao Bai to a thirty-thousand-year soul beast and made his appearance more dragon-like. 110

After their return, Liu Erlong designated Xiao Bai the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Sect-Protecting Soul Beast. Despite his increased size and strength, Xiao Bai continued behaving affectionately toward Su Xiao. 111 He later completed his Black Level One Trial on Sea God Island when Su Xiao carried him to the 108th step of Sea God's Light. 166 167

Su Xiao often kept Xiao Bai in the Wishful Treasure Bracelet during dangerous events, including the Heaven Dou Palace Coup and the war against Spirit Hall, to prevent stronger enemies from targeting him. 144 188 After living in the Divine Realm for more than twenty years, Xiao Bai gained human form and eventually returned to the lower realm. 202

Ten thousand years later, Xiao Bai became a level 94 Titled Douluo and an Inner Academy teacher at Shrek Academy. He assisted Su Xiao in entering the Inner Academy and rescuing Ma Xiaotao from her Evil Fire condition. 209 210
