Background

Xiao Wu enters Shrek Academy alongside Tang San, identifying him as her “Third Brother” and initially describing him as her brother. During the academy assessment, she is a level 29 Soul Master and becomes fascinated by Mu Yuan's immense, forest-like life aura, which she judges to be stronger than that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Her instincts repeatedly draw her toward him. 2 3 6

Her true nature is that of a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Unlike ordinary Soul Masters, she does not need to hunt Soul Beasts for rings, as she can condense them herself. She eventually reveals this identity to Mu Yuan, who accepts her without hesitation. 40 49 57

Personality

She is also protective of those she cares about. She worries over Mu Yuan after the Shrek assessment, reacts strongly to Ma Hongjun's alleged mistreatment of a woman, and remains emotionally affected by the realization that Tang Hao had viewed her transformed Soul Beast identity as a potential source of a Soul Ring and Soul Bone. 5 7 44

Her attachment to Mu Yuan is intensified by her sensitivity to his life-infused Soul Power. Although this begins as an instinctive attraction to a powerful life aura, it develops into a conscious and unwavering love. 2 3 20 49
