Biodata

• Often appears nervous or shy when speaking with Xue Lingyun. 46 129

Personality

Xiao Xiao is gentle, considerate, and initially timid around unfamiliar pressure. She readily expresses gratitude, such as when Xue Lingyun gives her an item suitable for her cultivation, and she contributes modestly rather than overstating her own role. 146 170

She has strong feelings for Xue Lingyun but struggles to approach or speak openly to him. She is visibly happy when he returns to the academy, yet remains uncertain how to bridge his emotional distance. 46 129 Despite her fear of flying, she perseveres through training and eventually gains enough confidence to use a Flight Soul Tool. 155

Story Role / Major Arcs

Freshman Assessment

Xiao Xiao is assigned to a freshman-assessment team with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Their combination of control, aerial offense, and shared spiritual detection earns ten consecutive wins. 49 59

Her cauldron defeats the final opponent in their fifth match after Wang Dong exhausts herself fighting a pair of sisters with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 59 The trio later reaches the final, where they face Xue Lingyun’s solo entry; Xiao Xiao unveils the Nine Phoenix Comes to Pay Homage Xiao for the first time during the match. 79 80

Shrek Reserve Team

As a second-year Level 29 Control System Battle Soul Master, Xiao Xiao is selected for Shrek’s Reserve Team. 147 In training against the main team, she supports the formation from a safe rear position with her xiao’s slowing music. 148 149

Before the team’s mission and tournament travel, she learns to use a Flight Soul Tool. Her fear initially leaves her unable to fly steadily, but Xue Lingyun’s guidance and Ma Xiaotao’s aerial drills help her adapt. 155
