Background / History

Star Dou Forest

Xiao Wu lived in the Star Dou Forest with her mother, Ah Rou. When Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei tracked the two transformed spirit beasts, Ah Rou drew the pursuers away so Xiao Wu could escape and seek Da Ming and Er Ming. Xiao Wu instead remained hidden while holding Nan Feng in his holy spirit cat form. 42

Nan Feng intervened against Bibi Dong's hunt, healed Ah Rou, and brought both mother and daughter to Martial Soul City. Xiao Wu quickly decided that Nan Feng was “a good person,” despite initially having little understanding of his motives. 42

Life in Martial Soul City

Xiao Wu and Ah Rou lived under Nan Feng's protection in the Saintess Hall. Their presence attracted repeated attempts by outsiders to capture Xiao Wu for her spirit ring and spirit bone. 53

During this period, Xiao Wu became strongly influenced by Nan Feng's anti-authoritarian rhetoric and developed a more rebellious, confrontational outlook. Ah Rou worried that Nan Feng was encouraging Xiao Wu's naturally chaotic tendencies. 54

Nuoding City and Tang San

Nan Feng established Xiao Wu and Ah Rou in Nuoding City under the cover of a family: Xiao Wu called Nan Feng “Dad” and Ah Rou “Mom.” Xiao Wu enrolled as a Work-Study Student specifically to approach Tang San. 54

Her mission was to cultivate Tang San's attachment to her, gain access to Tang Sect knowledge, and acquire hidden weapons and their designs. Tang San taught her the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track because it complemented her Soft Technique, while Xiao Wu passed on numerous Tang Sect creations for Martial Soul Hall's research efforts. 56 100 102

Although she maintained the deception for years, Xiao Wu became increasingly uncomfortable with exploiting Tang San's feelings. 115 128

Shrek Academy and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record

Xiao Wu later joined Shrek Academy alongside Tang San. She befriended Ning Rongrong almost immediately and defended her when Ma Hongjun criticized her brief enrollment. 102 108

In the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Wu assisted Nan Feng's plan to pressure Tang San into correcting the false portions of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. She convincingly acted terrified when Nan Feng took her as “insurance,” but the extended deception genuinely hurt her. 115

Nan Feng ultimately released her from the undercover work she found morally burdensome, telling her not to continue lying to Tang San. 128

Sea God Island and Later Years

Xiao Wu traveled with the group to Sea God Island and participated in the Sacred Pillar Trial, enduring the pressure of the Sea God's Light alongside the other candidates. 216

After Nan Feng's absence caused seven years to pass in the outside world, Xiao Wu had matured into a Title Douluo. She greeted his return without fear despite the dangerous aura of his Golden Dragon King form. 238

Personality

Xiao Wu is playful, impulsive, and highly mischievous. She is prone to dramatics, such as deliberately exaggerating her distress to manipulate onlookers, and she often looks for ways to avoid unwanted work. 115 206

She is also blunt and rebellious. Her time with Nan Feng made her hostile toward perceived authority and willing to challenge people she dislikes, though Ah Rou repeatedly has to restrain her from escalating arguments into violence. 54 103

Despite her antics, Xiao Wu is compassionate. She does not enjoy deceiving Tang San or treating his feelings as a tool, and she is deeply affected by the consequences of her mission. 115 128

Xiao Wu is courageous around powerful spirit beasts and gods, but becomes notably cautious when faced with unknown dangers such as the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. 150 154
