Background

Xu Xiaoyan was raised as the cherished young daughter of Eastsea City’s Xu Family. Her family initially kept her in a regular academy rather than placing her on the demanding path of a soul master. Despite this sheltered upbringing, she attained level 17 Soul Power by age ten. 56 62

She transferred into Eastsea Academy’s Class Zero after her Martial Soul manifested the rare Star Wheel Phenomenon. Her transfer followed an earlier Spirit Ascension Platform dispute, in which she and her older brother Xu Xiaoyu tried to seize spirit-power halos from Tang Wulin’s group and were defeated. 56 62

Her atavized Martial Soul made her important to the Xu Family’s long-term political plans. Her distant cousin Wu Sidu was sent to Eastsea City to establish a partnership with her; their combined control and fusion potential was intended to support the Xu and Wu families’ ambitions concerning the return of the Star Luo Empire. 82 90

Xu Xiu later proposed binding Su Mo to both families through a marriage alliance involving Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Sidu. Xu Xiaoyan openly objected, refusing to share Su Mo and revealing her feelings for him. 87 92

Before traveling to Shrek City, Xu Xiaoyan refined the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. The herb evolved her Martial Soul from the Star Wheel Ice Staff into the Star Staff, removed its former nighttime limitation, and raised her Soul Power to level 24. 242

Appearance

Xu Xiaoyan is a petite, delicate-looking girl with a gentle, approachable presence that contrasts with her growing confidence in battle. 111

• Water-blue eyes. 62
• Ice-blue twin tails. 56
• Initially wore a water-blue princess dress. 56
• Later favored a fitted blue-and-white casual outfit. 107
• Her small stature and soft appearance often lead opponents to underestimate her. 301 316

Personality

Xu Xiaoyan was initially shy, clumsy, and easily flustered around unfamiliar classmates. She was particularly sensitive about making a good impression on Su Mo, becoming embarrassed when she believed she had acted foolishly in front of him. 56 67 68

She is stubbornly determined when pursuing improvement. During Su Mo’s gravity training, she endured triple gravity for an hour despite exhaustion and refused to stop even when her body had reached its limit. 73 74

Despite her gentle appearance, Xu Xiaoyan is sharp-tongued, competitive, and unwilling to be bullied. Her rivalry with Mu Xi exposed a confrontational side that she normally concealed behind polite behavior. 75 76 She also refuses to be impressed by status, dismissing Le Zhengyu’s attempts to woo her with his family background. 283

In combat, she is far more calculating than she appears. She deliberately feigns panic or weakness to bait opponents into range, then uses precise control skills to create an opening for a decisive attack. 301 316

Abilities & Skills

Star Staff and Star Aspect

Xu Xiaoyan’s Martial Soul began as the Star Wheel Ice Staff. At night, it could transform into a Star Wheel and grant her the Star Phase attribute. 56 69

After refining the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, it evolved into the Star Staff, allowing her to use Star Aspect power regardless of the time of day. 242

• Her Star Phase’s Absolute Establishment effect was stated to immobilize any target for at least one second, including a Limit Douluo, under its original nighttime condition. 69
• The evolved Star Staff removed the former restriction that limited her Star Aspect power to nighttime. 242
• Her extraordinary control potential drew Cai Yue’er’s attention, leading to an offer to accept Xu Xiaoyan as a disciple. 253

Star Wheel Chains

Xu Xiaoyan’s first Soul Skill creates chains of starlight that bind and restrain a target. 258

• Can maintain immobilization as long as Xu Xiaoyan sustains the skill. 258
• Most opponents cannot break free after her Martial Soul’s evolution. 258
• Top-tier assault Martial Souls, such as the Golden Dragon or Titan Giant Ape, are identified as possible exceptions. 258

Starlight Feedback

Her second Soul Skill is a crowd-control technique that disrupts opponents rather than directly damaging them. 242

• Can throw enemies into immediate confusion. 242
• May redirect attacks or interrupt an opponent’s charge. 242

Star Brilliance

Her third Soul Skill produces brilliant starlight that briefly immobilizes opponents. 258

• Used to halt a charging opponent before they can engage her at close range. 258
• Held the exhausted Tang Wulin in place for three seconds, creating an opening for her finishing move. 301
• Also immobilized Yang Nianxia before he could attack. 316

Rasengan

Xu Xiaoyan learned the Rasengan through Su Mo’s training and turned it into an offensive option to compensate for her otherwise control-focused Soul Skills. 111 301

• Great Crimson Lotus Rasengan — an ice-blue variant that consumes more than half of her Soul Power and delivers extreme cold on impact. 301
• Defeated Tang Wulin after trapping him with Star Brilliance. 301
• Instantly defeated Luo Guixing when he teleported into close range and later eliminated Yang Nianxia with the same control-and-Rasengan combination. 316

Soul Guidance Cannon Tactics

Xu Xiaoyan combines immobilization with Soul Guidance weapons for reliable ranged finishing power. 258

• Uses Star Brilliance to halt an opponent, then Star Wheel Chains to prevent escape. 258
• Fired a Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon three times to eliminate a Shrek student who could not break free from her control. 258
• The method is simple but effective enough that even Gu Yue considered avoiding Xu Xiaoyan’s immobilization essential. 258

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Star Staff — evolved Martial Soul formerly known as the Star Wheel Ice Staff. 242
• Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon — used with her control skills to defeat immobilized opponents. 258
• Star Luo Spirit Pearl — immortal herb that evolved her Martial Soul and increased her Soul Power by seven levels. 242

Relationships

• Su Mo — teammate, trainer, and the person Xu Xiaoyan openly has feelings for. He trained her for the Tianhai Grand Competition, guided her combat development, and helped her conceal the cause of her Martial Soul evolution. 68 69 242 253
• Gu Yue — close friend, fellow Class Zero student, and training companion. Xu Xiaoyan admires Gu Yue’s strength and later lives and trains with her. 57 78 113
• Mu Xi — romantic rival for Su Mo’s affection. Their politeness often masks open rivalry, though they formed a temporary alliance against Ye Xinglan and can still support one another. 75 119
• Wu Sidu — distant cousin and political partner chosen by their families for future joint cultivation; later one of Xu Xiaoyan’s closest companions. 82 92
• Xie Xie — initially hostile after the Spirit Ascension Platform incident, but later a friendly classmate with whom she shares an interest in social media. 56 113
• Tang Wulin — Class Zero teammate and later combat opponent. Xu Xiaoyan defeated him by exploiting his overconfidence and exhaustion. 301
• Xu Xiaoyu — older brother. His failed attempt to guide her through the Spirit Ascension Platform caused the dispute that damaged her first impression with Class Zero. 56
• Xu Xiu — grandfather and head of the Xu Family; seeks to use her talent and relationship with Su Mo for the family’s political ambitions. 87 90
• Cai Yue’er — Shrek Academy elder who recognized Xu Xiaoyan’s evolved Martial Soul and offered to take her as a disciple. 253
