Background / History
Su Xiao was a transmigrator raised in Holy Soul Village alongside Tang San. At his awakening ceremony, he initially manifested Luo Sanpao and believed his future as a Soul Master was bleak. Touching the Soul Power crystal activated his Sign-in System, which replaced this outcome with Innate Full Soul Power and the Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul. He refused Su Yuntao’s invitation to enter Spirit Hall. 1 2
He and Tang San became Yu Xiaogang’s disciples. Su Xiao openly rejected any connection to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after learning that Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from it, though his Martial Soul later drew the clan’s attention. 5 105
His system-enhanced Soul Ring absorption limit allowed him to pursue a Thousand-Year first ring. He later absorbed the willing sacrifice of a Radiant Rhinoceros Dragon mother and took responsibility for her dragonet, Xiao Bai. By age twelve, he had reached level 39 with three Thousand-Year Soul Rings and departed for Shrek Academy with Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Bai. 6 9

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua both criticize his sharp, overbearing temperament. 93 99 116
Despite this arrogance, he is fiercely protective of those he considers family. He took Zhao Wuji’s attack to protect Xiao Bai, repeatedly intervened for Tang San and Xiao Wu, and prioritizes Nangong Yu’s safety even when facing stronger enemies. 17 54 102
He is also politically cautious when necessary. Although he recognized Xue Qinghe as Qian Renxue, he withheld that information until he could withstand Spirit Hall’s retaliation. 75 139
