Appearance

Xiao Wu is a young girl who initially wears a pink skirt and keeps her hair in pigtails. Her long braided hair can be used as part of her close-range fighting style. 1 68

• Pink skirt and pigtails in her early appearance. 1
• Petite build, but capable of explosive physical force. 54
• Uses her scorpion braid like a steel whip in combat. 68

Personality

Xiao Wu is openly affectionate, energetic, and fiercely loyal to her friends. At Lin Xi's Martial Soul awakening, she immediately promises to protect her regardless of the result, and she is prepared to confront Suo Tuo's followers when they threaten the group. 1

She deeply admires Lin Xi, readily calling her “boss” after witnessing her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Her admiration is uncomplicated: Lin Xi's victory and strength make Xiao Wu happy, even when she does not fully understand the theories or events involved. 3 10

The massacre of the Vulture Mercenary Group unsettles her. Though she has seen battles as a Soul Beast, the brutality leaves her physically ill and more hesitant around Lin Xi; ordinary gestures, such as receiving malt candy and rushing back before dormitory curfew, help restore her sense of safety. 23 24 She nevertheless remains compassionate, worries intensely when Tang San is endangered, and continues choosing to grow stronger alongside him. 17 44

Story Role / Major Arcs

Nuoding Academy

Xiao Wu begins as one of Lin Xi's companions from Holy Soul Village. She comforts Lin Xi after her Silver Needle Martial Soul is dismissed as worthless, confronts those attempting to bully the group, and is stunned when Lin Xi reveals overwhelming power. 1 2

After Lin Xi explains that her Martial Soul came with a Soul Ring, Xiao Wu accepts the explanation without hesitation and declares that she will follow Lin Xi. She celebrates Lin Xi's public defeat of Yu Xiaogang's theories and eagerly praises her afterward. 3 10

Soul Hunting Forest

Xiao Wu accompanies Lin Xi, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang into the Soul Hunting Forest for Tang San's first Soul Ring. The heavenly phenomenon surrounding Lin Xi's second Soul Ring terrifies her, as she senses the pressure as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. 13

She is deeply worried when Lin Xi forces Tang San to fight the Violent Vajra Ape alone, but trusts Tang San's eventual success. 17 18 After the Vulture Mercenary Group attacks, the aftermath of Lin Xi's retaliation traumatizes Xiao Wu and changes how cautiously she views her friend. 21 23

Shrek Training and Star Dou Great Forest

As a member of the Shrek Seven Devils, Xiao Wu undergoes Lin Xi's Heart Refining and Body Refining training. 40 In the Star Dou Great Forest, she develops increasingly effective coordination with the team, particularly Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun. 53 68

Her fighting style repeatedly places her at the front line: she saves Ning Rongrong from the Ghost Tiger, fights Cave Earth Demon Spiders through teleportation and powerful kicks, and joins Ma Hongjun in eliminating Bone Rot Vultures. 46 54 68

During the exploration of the ancient secret realm, Xiao Wu is endangered by energy guardians when her physical attacks prove insufficient. 70 Later, the primordial energy of the Life Lake naturally enters her body due to its affinity with her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin, contributing to her breakthrough to Level 44. 87
