Background

Little Wolf was discovered as a newborn cub in the cave of a dying Phantom Water Wolf. Its father had been killed in an ambush by another wolf pack, while its mother had been mortally injured after contesting the Wave-Treading Bull for a Water Essence Lotus meant to strengthen her cub's bloodline. Before dying, the mother entrusted Little Wolf to Gu Han. 21 22

Although contracting the cub unlocked Gu Han's Battle Pet Function, Gu Han accepted primarily out of compassion for the mother and cub. Little Wolf willingly recognized him, allowing them to form a contract and establish a mental link. Gu Han named it Little Wolf and began caring for it with roasted meat and cultivation resources. 22 23

Gu Han subsequently invested Water Element Power, demonic beast blood energy, and inner cores into Little Wolf's development. Its growth was exceptionally rapid, though Gu Han later chose to preserve resources for a future bloodline upgrade rather than spending all of them on immediate strength. 23 29 43

Appearance

Little Wolf is a small, lake-blue Phantom Water Wolf with soft fur. When Gu Han first found it, its eyes had not yet opened. 21

• Normally maintains the appearance of a recently weaned, harmless cub. 33
• Can enlarge itself to roughly the size of a Samoyed when feeding or fighting. 29
• Its eyes turned scarlet when it learned of the Wave-Treading Bull's role in its mother's death. 35
• Uses its small appearance to mislead opponents into underestimating it. 29 33

Personality

Little Wolf is affectionate, food-motivated, and strongly attached to Gu Han. It nuzzles him, licks him, follows his instructions, and can convey simple intentions through their mental connection. 22 23 41

Despite its innocent appearance, Little Wolf is cunning in combat. It uses decoys and feigned weakness to create openings, and Gu Han recognizes that its small form conceals a calculating nature. 29 33

It is fiercely loyal to Gu Han, choosing to attack members of its own species when they threatened him and sustaining severe injuries while protecting him during his breakthrough. Its desire for vengeance against the Wave-Treading Bull is tied to its mother's death. 35 36 40 41

Abilities & Skills

Phantom Water Clone

Little Wolf's racial skill manipulates water elements to create phantom duplicates for combat. 22

• Initially produced a clone with 10% of Little Wolf's strength. 22
• Used a clone as a decoy against an enemy who tried to kick it away, allowing Little Wolf to bite and disable his knee. 33
• Summoned two clones against the Wave-Treading Bull, attacking from three directions. 36
• Its clones can be dispersed by powerful direct impacts. 36
• At One-star Eighth Rank, each clone reached 15% of Little Wolf's strength. 42

Healing Talent

Little Wolf can gather water mist while licking injuries to clean and treat wounds.

• Treated Gu Lin's injuries after he was attacked, washing dirt and grime from his wounds with water mist. 25
• The wound-cleaning process is painful even when Little Wolf is gentle. 25

Scent Tracking

Little Wolf possesses a highly developed sense of smell.

• Detected that someone with a scent similar to Gu Han's was in danger, leading Gu Han to the injured Gu Lin. 23
• Could recognize Gu Chen's scent, though it could not track him when he was beyond its olfactory range. 31

Transformation

Little Wolf can alter its size.

• Enlarges from its usual cub form to approximately Samoyed size in order to bite and consume demonic beast inner cores. 29
• Also enlarged itself in preparation to eat with Gu Han after reaching One-star Eighth Rank. 42

Bloodline Growth

Through Gu Han's Battle Pet Function, Little Wolf can improve both its strength and bloodline using specialized resources. 22

• Bloodline enhancement originally required 100 Water Element Power, 100 demonic beast blood energy, and 10 Second-Order demonic beast inner cores. 22
• Resources spent on increasing its strength do not also count toward bloodline advancement. 29
• By the time Gu Han became a Martial Artist, only a small number of inner cores remained before Little Wolf's next bloodline upgrade. 43

• Rapid Growth — Gu Han uses the Water Essence Lotus and later demonic beast inner cores to raise Little Wolf from an unranked cub to a formidable One-star demonic beast. 23 29
• Protection of Allies — Little Wolf senses Gu Lin's danger and later treats his wounds. 23 25
• Spy Ambush — It uses Phantom Water Clone to deceive and incapacitate one of Xue Wen's associates during Gu Han and Gu Chen's fight. 33

• Gu Han's Breakthrough Guard — It defends the immobilized Gu Han from a pack of Phantom Water Wolves, killing six despite suffering severe injuries. 40 41
