Background & History

Before Transmigration

Xiao Luo states that he was an actor before becoming a Chosen One, joking that his talent had been wasted “acting in Summoner’s Rift.” His actual acting career is not established. 134 184

Early Survival Period

He rapidly established himself as one of District 527's foremost fighters, reaching Level 4 before anyone else in his area and later becoming the second-ranked expert on the level leaderboard. 22 90 His fighting style centered on a short blade, high durability, and decisive close-range attacks; even after being surrounded by five Breeze Cattle, he killed two with a Crescent Slash before finishing the rest. 90

Nan Feng treated Xiao Luo as Nan Village's second-strongest fighter and gave him an Undying Set. Xiao Luo initially considered the equipment too valuable to accept. 150 During the Territory War for an S-grade territory, he coordinated patrols and agreed to Nan Feng's plan to deceive the approaching enemy force with his acting. 134

Injury, Exploration, and South City Defense

Catherine Vina severely wounded Xiao Luo in the abdomen, leaving him at risk of bleeding to death despite consuming numerous Qi Blood Fruits. Nan Feng gave him Jiaolong Set pieces and the Cross-Regional Travel Permit, allowing Xiao Luo to return to District 527 and warn South City about simultaneous invasions by Districts 48 and 39. 183

While exploring the cave behind a waterfall with Nan Feng, Xiao Luo was dragged into an illusion by a Night Elf. He fought false versions of himself for 24 hours until Nan Feng destroyed the illusion; the ordeal nearly completed the development of Xiao Luo's Kirin Arm. 227 246 He later became a major defender during South City's beast tides, using his clones to hold enemy forces and strike behind their lines. 327 333

Rise as the Black-Clad Hero

Xiao Luo increasingly pursued high-level opponents rather than ferocious beasts, judging that killing powerful Chosen Ones provided faster advancement. 576 586 He killed Prince Zhennan's seven Level 40+ guards with a Blade Formation, gathered their Destined Divine Weapons for South City, and openly slashed at Emperor Lord Diqi's projection afterward. 588

His incarnations became central to his operations in World No. 9: they infiltrated cities, acted as sentries, carried Mother Mirrors to monitor enemies, and staged a recorded confrontation in Yingjiang City that turned public opinion against Yuan Long. 417 605 In Hai Shang City, Xiao Luo confronted Tao Jie and ultimately defeated him with the eighth strike of Xiao's Eight Blades, Eternity, before ascending to Level 45. 662

Later Conflicts

After reaching Level 46, Xiao Luo resisted more than ten days within Soyana's dream and emerged with improved swordsmanship. 780 783 During the conflict surrounding the Sun Moon Mountains, he used Mountain Splitting to sever Sunrise Gorge and left a lingering Blade Qi wall that blocked a major route to the battlefield. 790 791

When the Emperor Lord demanded Dragon Country's surrender, Xiao Luo challenged them to fight in space. Their battle lasted ten days and ended publicly as an apparent draw; afterward, both combatants withdrew from public life and later reached Level 47. 834 864

Personality

Xiao Luo is talkative and humorous around people he knows, yet aloof toward strangers. He is brave but cautious: when he and Nan Feng discovered a dangerous cave, he refused to enter it alone. 227 His confidence can become theatrical, particularly when using a new weapon or taunting enemies. 201 260

He is highly pragmatic in combat. Xiao Luo uses deception, clones, stealth, and psychological pressure rather than relying only on direct confrontation. He can remain composed even against stronger opponents, identifying impatience and disorder in an enemy's swordsmanship while under attack. 604 691

His pursuit of strength led him to explore “Severing the Three Corpses,” a path of abandoning attachments and emotions to approach godhood. The decision separated facets of his emotions into incarnations, while his main body became increasingly calm and detached. 653 Despite this, he repeatedly protects civilians, helps South City's members, and remained in devastated Hai Shang City to assist survivors rather than immediately returning home. 417 662 671
