Appearance

Xiao Wu later changes her appearance to avoid recognition after leaving Shrek Academy. The Life Gate conceals her Soul Beast aura so completely that even several Titled Douluo fail to detect her true nature. 44 45

• Rabbit ears manifest when she uses her Martial Soul. 127
• Her altered appearance initially prevents Shrek Academy from recognizing her during the tournament. 127
• She bears a green sprout-shaped Life Gate mark on her forehead. 76

Personality

Xiao Wu is driven by grief over her mother's death and originally enters the human world to identify her enemies and pursue revenge. She distrusts humans and regards the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts as fundamentally hostile. 37 38

When Li Yu forces her into an agreement, Xiao Wu outwardly accepts while privately intending to exploit Li Yu's protection, return to Star Dou, and eventually resist the arrangement. Her calculations change as the Life Gate protects her identity and Li Yu repeatedly assists her without immediately demanding her death. 38 45

She remains deeply conflicted between loyalty to Star Dou and self-preservation. When Er Ming attacks Li Yu, Xiao Wu struggles over whether helping Li Yu would harm the Soul Beast side's “Luck,” ultimately choosing survival. 77 Later, fear of the threats within Star Dou leads her to remain with Li Yu when given the choice to leave. 221

Life Gate

Li Yu brands Xiao Wu with the Life Gate after exposing her identity. The mark binds her to Li Yu's terms but also grants protection and utility. 38

• Makes her feel more accepted by heaven and earth, with an apparent benefit to cultivation. 45

History

Departure from Star Dou

Xiao Wu leaves the Star Dou Great Forest against the wishes of those close to her. Her stated purpose is to understand humans, locate the enemies responsible for her mother's death, and prepare for revenge. 37

During the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Soul Arena battle, Li Yu traps her in an Illusionary Realm recreating the Lake of Life. Li Yu reveals awareness of Xiao Wu's Soul Beast identity, her mother’s death, and Tang Hao's connection to Tang San. 37

Agreement with Li Yu

Li Yu offers Xiao Wu two outcomes: exposure and sale as a Soul Beast, or cooperation under a Life Gate mark in exchange for time, freedom, and possible help with revenge. Xiao Wu accepts the mark, believing she can eventually use Star Dou's powerful Soul Beasts to remove it. 38

The Life Gate immediately proves valuable by concealing her aura during Tang Hao, Dugu Bo, and Chen Xin's presence at the Soul Arena. Fearing Tang Hao may target her after Tang San's injury, Xiao Wu decides to leave Shrek Academy. 44 45

Star Dou Incident

Xiao Wu returns to Star Dou and later approaches Li Yu alongside Er Ming to investigate damage to the Soul Beast side's “Luck.” Er Ming attacks Li Yu with Gravity Suppression, forcing Xiao Wu to choose between aiding Li Yu and protecting her tribe's interests. 76 77

Li Yu survives Er Ming's attack by disappearing from the impact site, leaving Xiao Wu astonished and unsettled by the widening gap in their power. 77

Return to Heaven Dou

Concerned that mysterious black-robed Soul Masters in Star Dou may be hunting her, Xiao Wu seeks refuge in Heaven Dou City. Li Yu eventually finds her through spatial travel and agrees to investigate the threat. 100

She reunites warmly with Zhu Zhuqing, who becomes one of the few people trusted with her situation. 101

Thousand Feather Academy

Using an altered appearance and the alias “Charming Rabbit,” Xiao Wu joins Thousand Feather Academy's tournament team. She reveals Level 41 Soul Power and a Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Soul Ring, drawing immediate suspicion from Tang San and the Shrek group. 127 157

Alongside Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Changzhi, Xiao Wu helps defeat Elephant Armor Academy by using Instant Movement and Waist Bow to remove opponents from the arena. 129 She later assists in Thousand Feather Academy's rapid victory over Godwind Academy. 158

Tang San eventually confronts Zhu Zhuqing in search of Xiao Wu. To protect Xiao Wu's secret, Zhu Zhuqing tells him that Xiao Wu died after the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Soul Arena incident. 139

Later Developments

Xiao Wu accompanies Zhu Zhuqing while Li Yu absorbs the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring and torso bone, helping guard Li Yu during the dangerous absorption. 118 119

After Li Yu offers to remove the Life Gate and allow her to return to Star Dou, Xiao Wu chooses to remain. Her decision is influenced by fear of Di Tian and the dangers within the forest. 221

• Tang San — Former close companion whose conduct during the Soul Arena battle and connection to Tang Hao cause Xiao Wu to question her trust in him. Tang San later searches for her after she leaves Shrek. 37 65 139

• Er Ming — Titan Giant Ape connected to Xiao Wu and Star Dou. His attack on Li Yu forces Xiao Wu into a conflict between tribal loyalty and self-preservation. 76 77
• Tang Hao — Knows Xiao Wu is a Soul Beast and later demands that she be handed over to him, prompting Zhu Zhuqing to shield her. 44 178
