Story Role / Major Arcs

Nuoding City Academy

Xiao Wu enters Nuoding City Academy as the boss of Dormitory Seven and immediately challenges newcomer Ye Xinyu for the position. Ye declines, leaving Xiao Wu in charge. 23 24

She is fiercely protective of her status and dignity, confronting Xiao Chenyu after he and his upperclassmen insult the Work-Study Students. She challenges him to a duel rather than accepting his taunts. 25 26

Xiao Wu introduces herself as a level-12, one-ring Battle Soul Master and reveals her hundred-year Soul Ring during the confrontation with Xiao Chenyu's group. She defeats him with her first Soul Skill, Waist Bow. 24 43

Friendship with Ye Xinyu and Tang San

She shares Dormitory Seven with Ye Xinyu and grows to regard her as a sister. Ye comforts her after her mother's wooden comb is broken in battle, then repairs the keepsake herself. 43 44 56

Xiao Wu reunites warmly with Tang San upon his return to the academy. Their bond becomes increasingly intimate, though she initially insists that there is “nothing” between them. 27 45 46

After misunderstanding Ye Xinyu's recruitment of academy students, Xiao Wu accepts Ye's explanation and agrees to supervise their training for a monthly allowance of 100 Gold Soul Coins. 56 57

Separation and the Star Dou Great Forest

Following the Nuoding City incident, Xiao Wu leaves Tang San, fearing that high-level Spirit Hall Soul Masters may investigate the surviving students. She promises to meet him again in five years. 91

She later seeks vengeance for her mother and stands alongside the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python against Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong defeats and absorbs the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring, forcing Xiao Wu to confront the reality of conflict between humans and Soul Beasts. 97 98

Protecting Tang San

When Ye Xinyu attacks the weakened Tang San on the Road to Hell, Xiao Wu intercepts Ye's decisive scythe strike despite being severely exhausted. 218

After Tang San is poisoned and near death, Xiao Wu desperately turns to the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, for help. Da Ming ultimately sacrifices himself to save Tang San after Tang San swears to protect Xiao Wu for life. 222 227

Xiao Wu is later deceived by Bel'Veth, the Mother of the Abyss, who possesses her body under the pretense of saving Tang San. Tang San and the Asura God's power destroy Bel'Veth and preserve Xiao Wu's soul. 271

In a later confrontation, Tang San throws Xiao Wu into the path of a sword strike from a woman in green before fleeing; the passage does not establish Xiao Wu's fate afterward. 286

Appearance

Xiao Wu appears as a petite girl with a scorpion braid. In human society, she presents herself as an ordinary academy student despite her Soul Beast origin. 58 98 218

• Often adopts a hands-on-hips stance when challenging others. 24 26
• Has large, lively eyes and expressive reactions. 24 28
• Keeps her mother's wooden comb close as a treasured memento. 43 44

Personality

Xiao Wu is proud, combative, and easily provoked by insults. She reacts especially strongly when her dignity, her friends, or the Work-Study Students are slighted, often choosing confrontation before gathering information about an opponent. 25 26 28

Despite her impulsiveness, she is warm-hearted and deeply attached to those she considers family. She values Ye Xinyu's kindness, treasures her mother's comb over more valuable replacements, and repeatedly risks herself to protect Tang San. 44 56 218 227

Her unfamiliarity with human society sometimes makes her naïve. She initially does not know Soul Masters receive monthly allowances and fears certification may expose her true age and identity to Spirit Hall. 27
