Background

Xiao Xuan is a transmigrator born into the wealthy Xiao Clan, the family of Nuoding City's lord. He awaited his Martial Soul awakening until Su Yuntao revealed his Innate Full Spirit Power and Three Lives Martial Soul, prompting Spirit Hall to recruit him. 1

He entered Spirit Hall under Chrysanthemum Douluo's attention and first met Hu Liena during a Soul Hunting Forest expedition. After obtaining a Mandala Snake ring for Sky Dragon, he reached Level 20 and demonstrated strength far beyond a newly awakened Soul Master by defeating Li Kai in a single strike. 3 5 6 7

Determined to develop all three Martial Souls evenly, Xiao Xuan fabricated an “inheritance” warning that imbalance could kill him. Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted the explanation and brought him before Bibi Dong, who later accepted him as a disciple in name while ordering continued observation of his secrets. 9 10 11 16

Bibi Dong eventually concluded that the divinity within his Martial Souls might indicate god-bestowed Martial Souls and chose to conceal the matter for his protection. 97 98

Appearance

Xiao Xuan initially appears as a six-year-old boy in fitted white clothing. Despite his age, he carries himself with unusual composure; observers describe youthful features, a trace of handsomeness, and a mischievous charm. 2 22

  • His Martial Souls manifest as immense gold, deep-blue, and crimson divine phantoms. 10
  • Sky Dragon projects a scarlet draconic form with a deathly aura. 2
  • Giant Soldier appears as a hulking deep-blue humanoid figure with an imposing presence. 2

Personality

Xiao Xuan is composed in the presence of powerful figures, including Bibi Dong, and seldom lets hostility or pressure dictate his behavior. He values demonstrating his own worth rather than permanently relying on Hu Liena's protection. 7 10

He is calculating and adaptable, willing to deceive when necessary to protect his cultivation plan. He also recognizes risks clearly: in Death Canyon, he refuses to investigate a potentially overwhelming enemy alone and reports his findings instead. 9 11 101

In combat and strategy, Xiao Xuan favors exploiting information, countering opponents’ habits, and securing long-term advantages. He distributes Spirit Power Cards to strengthen allies and repeatedly treats warfare as a problem of logistics, intelligence, and timing rather than force alone. 33 228 249

Abilities & Skills

Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul

Xiao Xuan possesses three top-tier Martial Souls, also called the Three Lives Martial Soul: Sun God's Winged Dragon, Obelisk's Giant Soldier, and Osiris's Sky Dragon. Their separate ring slots allow him to possess three times the Soul Rings and Soul Skills available to an ordinary Soul Master at the same level. 1 10 22

  • Sun God's Winged Dragon — Light attribute; its known skills include Sun God's Protection, Sun God's Blaze, Sunlight Flash, and the eighth-ring Divine Might Blazing Cannon. 14 45 153 263
  • Obelisk's Giant Soldier — Earth attribute; specializes in physical augmentation, force, and battlefield disruption. 10 22 153
  • Osiris's Sky Dragon — Nether attribute; possesses powerful dark energy, offensive lightning, and replication abilities. 2 10 29

The three Martial Souls exhibit independent will. They protect Xiao Xuan, guide valuable resources toward him, and exchanged excess divine energy for Soul Power from Spirit Hall’s Guardians and elders without his knowledge. 28 101 245 263

Thunder Summon

Sky Dragon's first Soul Skill is a ranged lightning attack carrying both lightning and divine attributes. It can paralyze targets, with damage and paralysis duration increasing as the gap between Xiao Xuan and his opponent narrows. 1 6

  • Instantly defeated the Level 28 Li Kai while Xiao Xuan was only Level 20. 7 8
  • Can overwhelm Hu Liena's second Soul Skill, Deception Orb, in a direct clash. 8
  • Was initially his primary offensive skill before he acquired broader control and replication options. 4 29

Divine Power Enhancement

Giant Soldier's first Soul Skill temporarily amplifies Xiao Xuan's strength, speed, attack, defense, and other physical attributes while granting a divine characteristic. 1 14 22

  • Allows him to contest close-range specialists directly, including Tang San. 22
  • Its duration depends on Xiao Xuan's physique. 1
  • Places an immense burden on his body while active. 1 22

Skill Replication

Sky Dragon's later skill allows Xiao Xuan to copy the most recent skill used by an opponent through physical contact. The copied ability can gain an “extreme inverse attribute,” and the replication process gives him insight into the skill’s nature and weaknesses. 29 30

  • Copied Yan's Granite Armor to defend against Xie Yue’s Moon Blade. 32
  • Copied Xie Yue’s third Soul Skill and used a replicated Break effect to shatter Yan's armor. 33
  • Copied Tang San's Blue Silver Prison before replacing it with a useless ability through Gift of the Gods. 153

Divine Manifestations

Xiao Xuan's martial skills develop beyond ordinary Soul Master techniques, including potential divine-domain effects and an Avatar that lets him temporarily transform into each of his three Martial Souls. 54 209

  • Earth Bind and Attack Weakening are considered possible prototypes of divine domains. 54
  • Sun God Sphere autonomously shielded him while he was in an epiphany. 245
  • Divine Might Blazing Cannon carries annihilating flames, burns souls, ignores intangible defenses, and is described as fatal to opponents below Titled Douluo. 263

Soul Ring Evolution

His Soul Rings can evolve independently, an ability unprecedented among the Soul Masters who observe him. His first ring mutates from yellow to purple, and his ring colors later advance further through divine power. 95 97 240

  • His first ring eventually reaches roughly twelve thousand years of age and becomes black. 240
  • The Three Illusion Gods can absorb divine power, including Asura Divine Power, to fuel Xiao Xuan's advancement. 249 298

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Energy Card Box — A system reward that fills with energy and produces cards, including equipment cards, Spirit Power Cards, Soul Beast resources, Soul Skills, and Soul Bones. 9 13 176
  • Azure Eye — An External Soul Bone whose Intimidation suppresses opponents within ten levels of Xiao Xuan; its radiance can also help assess an opponent’s strength range. 167 168
  • Thousand Year Eye — A divine artifact that sees into hearts, predicts actions, and has no stated strength-level restriction. 190 241
  • Dark Archmage set — A completed set of Soul Bone components obtained from cards drawn using Tang Hao's energy; Xiao Xuan intends to absorb it after stabilizing his cultivation. 298
  • Spirit Power Cards — Cards Xiao Xuan uses as combat tools and distributes to strengthen trusted allies and subordinates. 228 249

Relationships

  • Bibi Dong — His master in name, later patron and protector. She conceals the divine nature of his Martial Souls, declares him her successor, and increasingly trusts him with major operations. 16 98 188 200
  • Hu Liena — First Spirit Hall companion and close partner. She protects him during his earliest hunts, supports his dangerous ring absorptions, and receives the Illusionary Wisdom Skull from him. 3 6 45 95
  • Chrysanthemum Douluo (Yue Guan / Ju Hua Guan) — Mentor, guardian, and frequent traveling companion. He helps obtain Xiao Xuan's rings, investigates his secrets under Bibi Dong's orders, and remains concerned for his safety. 3 8 16 249
  • Ghost Douluo — Initially suspicious of Xiao Xuan's claims, but later a trusted elder who assists his plans and intelligence work. 10 11 200 216
  • Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — A politically complicated acquaintance who initially attempts to recruit him while disguised as Xue Qinghe; their later interactions remain tied to Spirit Empire and divine-position politics. 39 40 190 222
  • Tang San — Rival whom Xiao Xuan repeatedly provokes and defeats. Xiao Xuan later regards Tang San as a future threat to eliminate if an opportunity arises. 22 153 249
  • Xiao Wu — Meets him in Slaughter City to determine whether he can aid Soul Beasts. They later cooperate there, and Xiao Xuan shares the Energy Card Box's nature with her. 170 173 176
  • Xie Yue and Yan — Initially hostile over Hu Liena's attention, but later serve alongside him on the Spirit Hall Battle Team. 4 32 138
  • City Lord Xiao — His father and the lord of Nuoding City, who supports Su Yuntao's recommendation that Xiao Xuan join Spirit Hall. 1
