Background / History
Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast who transformed into a human in order to cultivate among humans. Her true form is connected to the divine Jade Rabbit bloodline rather than an ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit; an unknown fortuitous encounter also strengthened her origin enough for her to survive the Lightning Tribulation. Her mother was likewise a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast who chose human transformation, while Da Ming and Er Ming were saved by Xiao Wu’s mother and lived alongside Xiao Wu for a hundred thousand years. 109
Xiao Wu’s father was a rabbit emperor possessing the Jade Rabbit bloodline and a Beast King. Later accounts describe him as having at least two hundred thousand years of cultivation and possessing a pure, divine Jade Rabbit bloodline, making him possibly the strongest rabbit Spirit Beast in the world. He explored much of the continent and disappeared while investigating the deepest region of the Star Dou Forest. Xiao Wu’s memories suggest that he was ultimately killed or eaten by Xiong Jun. 134 237 238
Her family upbringing was strict but doting, leaving her with an immature and willful temperament despite her age. 134 Her mother was subsequently hunted by Bibi Dong, motivating Xiao Wu’s desire for revenge against the woman responsible. 132 134
Before entering human society, Xiao Wu lived in the Star Dou Forest as one of its Beast Kings. After her transformation, Da Ming and Er Ming took considerable risks to escort her secretly to the forest’s outskirts, since her reduced strength made even leaving the forest dangerous. 19 The Mountain Range Giant Dragon later recalls knowing her as a mischievous young neighbor whose powerful family prevented him from retaliating against her antics. 273
Xiao Wu enters Nuoding Academy as a Work-Study Student and immediately challenges Tang San for control of Dorm Seven. She defeats him and assumes the position of dorm boss. 10 She later defeats Chen Ming in a spar through her superior agility and joint-locking Soft Technique. 11
Her relationship with Tang San cools after he separates himself from the Work-Study Students to follow Yu Xiaogang. Xiao Wu had initially wanted to befriend him because she sensed a familiar, gentle life force from him, but she becomes angry and refuses to bother with him after his departure. 13
Chen Ming repeatedly spars with Xiao Wu, analyzes her physical condition and fighting style, and uses the resulting observations to improve his cultivation method. Their daily training develops into a close bond, with Xiao Wu eventually viewing him as a friend and younger brother. 14 15 132 During an academy break, Chen Ming invites her to Holy Soul Village, further deepening their bond and disrupting the friendship she had been expected to form with Tang San. 21
After encountering Chen Ming again in rebuilt Holy Soul Village, Xiao Wu becomes frightened that he has discovered her identity. Chen Ming confirms that he knows she is a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. 131 132 133 He captures and collars her, claiming the collar will prevent others from harming her should her identity be exposed. 134 Though her freedom is restricted, Chen Ming provides her with cultivation methods, resources, guidance, and generally favorable daily treatment. 135 157
Chen Ming keeps Xiao Wu at Dugu Bo’s residence for approximately three years. During this period, she cultivates, studies, undergoes medicinal baths, and receives regular supervision. The arrangement greatly accelerates her cultivation, but also leaves her increasingly frustrated by her lack of freedom and inability to experience the outside world. 237
Xiao Wu later reveals that her father had told her stories about an ancient group of humans who possessed advanced Soul Tool technology and may not have possessed Martial Souls. Their disappearance and possible connection to distant islands or the Sun Moon Continent give Chen Ming new theories about the origin of Soul Tools and the ancient history of the world. 237 238
After Chen Ming gives her access to Heaven Dou City, Xiao Wu’s emotional release and reckless enjoyment of food, clothing, and entertainment unexpectedly raise her cultivation to level 39. 247
Later narration identifies Xiao Wu as someone whose original fate was altered by Asura God’s intervention. She was originally expected to be discovered and hunted during her sixth year in the human world, but was instead guided toward Suotuo City and Tang San. 185 Chen Ming later becomes suspicious that her desire to leave his residence seven or eight months earlier may have been an attempt by an unseen force to guide her back toward Tang San and restore the original chain of events. 238
Following further cultivation support, Chen Ming asks Xiao Wu to condense her fourth Spirit Ring while he observes. She initially fears exposing her identity to Qian Daoliu, particularly because he is Spirit Hall’s Grand Worship and her intended revenge targets the Pope. Chen Ming reassures her that Qian Daoliu will not covet her Spirit Ring or Soul Bone and explains that he and the Pope are enemies. Xiao Wu then removes her collar and completes the condensation, providing Chen Ming with an opportunity to study Spirit Ring formation directly. 269 271 272
Before leaving with Qian Daoliu, Chen Ming arranges for Qian Renfeng to escort Xiao Wu back toward Heaven Dou City. He reassures her that Qian Renfeng and his elder brother can protect her, and she comes to recognize that her influential allies make her far less vulnerable than an unprotected transformed Spirit Beast. 274
Her identity later becomes a motive for Tang Hao’s attack on Chen Ming. After Tang Chen demands two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones as a condition for possible forgiveness, Tang Hao decides to hunt Xiao Wu for a Soul Bone while also taking revenge on Chen Ming. He travels to Heaven Dou City with Tang San and attacks Chen Ming’s training ground at night. 319
Appearance
Xiao Wu appears as a cute young girl around Chen Ming’s age, with rabbit-ear hair accessories, pink clothing, and slightly chubby cheeks. 131
- Rabbit-ear hair accessories that visibly sway when she tries to hide. 131
- Pink clothing. 131
- Wears a Scorpion Braid when she first challenges Tang San. 10
- A yellow Spirit Ring when using her first Spirit Skill. 14
- Later wears a collar placed on her by Chen Ming. 134
- Changes into finer clothing and replaces her original rabbit hair ornament with a prettier accessory after coming under Chen Ming’s supervision. 135
- When using Martial Soul Possession, develops rabbit ears, a more mature figure, and a visible rabbit tail. 240
- Later wears Chen Ming’s specialized Soul Tool collar, which conceals her Spirit Beast aura and life fluctuations while retaining the appearance of an ordinary collar. 246
- After condensing her fourth Spirit Ring, possesses one yellow, two purple, and one black Spirit Ring. 240 272
Personality
Xiao Wu is proud, competitive, and highly confident in her own strength. She quickly asserts herself as Dorm Seven’s boss, boasts after gaining the upper hand in combat, and dislikes being underestimated. 10 14
She is also impulsive and guided by strong rabbit instincts. She initially wants to eat the weakened Blue Silver Emperor and nearly kills Ah Yin by consuming most of its leaves, but becomes guilty after Chen Ming saves the plant and teaches her the value of its life. 136 137
Despite her bold front, Xiao Wu is deeply wary of humans because transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts are hunted for Spirit Rings and Soul Bones. The presence of a Title Douluo’s aura leaves her unable to move, and learning that Chen Ming knows her identity makes her fear exploitation and death. 132 133
Xiao Wu is vain and carefree in private, readily admiring her own reflection after receiving new clothes and hair accessories. 135 Although she resents Chen Ming’s demanding supervision, she recognizes that his treatment and cultivation guidance are not malicious. 157
She becomes increasingly frustrated by years of confinement. Although she briefly considers running away, she ultimately remains because the residence provides safety, resources, and unusually rapid cultivation. 237 238
Xiao Wu is affectionate toward those she considers family, including her parents, Chen Ming, Da Ming, and Er Ming. She initially mistakes her attachment to Chen Ming for friendship and familial dependence, but the energy released by Lovesick Heartbreak Red causes her to recognize that her feelings may be romantic. 239 240
She grows comfortable relying on Chen Ming’s resources and care, accepting his cultivation pills and agreeing to let him observe her Spirit Ring condensation despite not understanding his research aims. This trust does not eliminate her fear of outsiders discovering her identity. 269 271
Her aura-concealing collar becomes an emotional source of security as well as practical equipment. Even when Chen Ming and Qian Daoliu already know her identity, she feels uncomfortable without it and hurriedly puts it back on after condensing her fourth ring. 272
Although excited at the prospect of Chen Ming’s absence, Xiao Wu admits that she remains afraid of facing danger alone. His assurances about her protectors help her regain confidence, and she recognizes that anyone seeking to harm her would have to consider the powerful forces supporting her. 274
Abilities & Skills
Soft Technique
Xiao Wu’s primary close-combat style relies on speed, flexibility, throws, and joint locks.
- Defeats Chen Ming through agility and joint-lock techniques. 11
- Uses rapid movement to overcome opponents whose reactions can otherwise anticipate her attacks. 14
- Her physical attributes give her a decisive advantage over Chen Ming during their early sparring. 14
- Improves her performance through repeated sparring with Chen Ming, eventually losing much of her advantage as he becomes familiar with her movements. 15 16
Waist Bow
Her first Spirit Skill enhances the physical traits central to her fighting style. 14
- Increases waist strength by 100%. 14
- Increases flexibility by 50%. 14
- Supports throws, locking techniques, and close-range maneuvering. 14
Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Throw
Xiao Wu’s ultimate throwing technique is dangerous enough to cause severe injury or death if used without restraint. 14
- Can inflict multiple fractures on a target of Chen Ming’s size. 14
- May break the target’s spine or neck. 14
- She withholds it during sparring because she is enjoying the fight and does not consider Chen Ming malicious. 14
Invincible Golden Body
Xiao Wu obtains Invincible Golden Body as her fourth Spirit Skill after condensing a black ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring. 272
- Grants three seconds of invincibility. 272
- Increases strength and speed by 100%. 272
- With each major rank, its duration increases by one second, and its strength and speed enhancement increases by 10%. 272
- Different Spirit Ring ages affect its duration, Soul Power cost, cooldown, and additional effects rather than fundamentally changing the strength of its invincibility. 272
- Xiao Wu distinguishes it from the Golden Hawksbill Turtle’s defensive ability, which can be used more routinely and also provides a weaker protective form. 273
The skill’s name does not imply that it is unbeatable against every power. Chen Ming identifies Xiong Jun’s attacks as capable of tearing through Invincible Golden Body when discussing the death of Xiao Wu’s father. 238
Spirit Beast Traits
As a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Jade Rabbit, Xiao Wu possesses exceptional natural aptitude and a body comparable to an innate special constitution. 109 132
- Her meridians and physical development are described as among the best possible for Spirit Masters. 132
- Possesses genuine Innate Full Soul Power and cultivates more quickly than ordinary humans with the same talent because her Spirit Beast essence gradually releases within her body. 137
- Her Jade Rabbit bloodline grants exceptional physical potential, strong survival abilities, and possible blessings connected to the moon’s phases. 134 238
- She can condense Spirit Rings after transforming into a human. 14 157
- Her Spirit Rings are manifestations of her own origin and place far less strain on her body than ordinary Spirit Rings. 240
- Her hidden identity makes her a potential target for humans seeking a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Soul Bone. 133 134
- Possesses extensive practical knowledge of Spirit Beasts and can identify species such as the Dragon-Headed Lizard from a description. 19
- Has limited understanding of the cultivation mechanics behind her own former Spirit Core despite having once been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. 109
- Retains knowledge of Spirit Beast history and ancient human technology through the stories told by her father. 237
- Her father’s stories provide information about an ancient civilization or group of outsiders who possessed advanced Soul Tool technology. 237 238
- Knows the Golden Hawksbill Turtle’s defensive characteristics, its near-Black-Tortoise bloodline, and its potential to produce an evolved Black Tortoise Martial Soul. 273
Self-Condensed Spirit Rings
Xiao Wu’s ring condensation is an innate gift rather than a consciously understood technique. Transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts retain the finest essence of their former cultivation within their bodies; this essence helps forge their flesh and is gradually released through cultivation and Spirit Ring formation. Their characteristic Spirit Beast aura comes from the same reserve and disappears once it is exhausted, marking their mature state. 272
- Before her fourth ring, Chen Ming estimates that her physique and Spiritual Power could withstand an ordinary external Spirit Ring approximately 13,000 years old. 272
- Self-condensation could allow her to roughly double that limit and form a ring exceeding 25,000 years, although the exact age of her completed fourth ring is not specified. 272
- She restrains her ring choices to avoid attracting attention to her unusual nature, despite potentially exceeding ordinary absorption limits. 271
- During fourth-ring condensation, power rises from her heart and awakens her bloodline and latent Soul Power. The ring begins predominantly white with a faint red trace, then changes through yellow and purple before becoming black. 272
- The process fixes awakened bloodline potential and former Spirit Beast abilities into a Spirit Ring. 272
- Her fourth-ring condensation takes about an hour and gives Chen Ming material for his first experiments in imitating a Spirit Ring’s Soul Power structure. 272
Soul Tool Equipment
Soul Tool Collar
Chen Ming later creates a specialized Soul Tool collar for Xiao Wu using principles derived from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. 246
- Conceals or alters the wearer’s aura and life fluctuations.
- Hides Xiao Wu’s identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast, even from extremely powerful spiritual perception.
- Stores up to twenty-five cubic meters of belongings.
- Operates through a Soul Power Lock that restricts use to Chen Ming and approved users.
- Contains a hidden fragment of Chen Ming’s flesh and blood, allowing him to track it and protect Xiao Wu from being lost or captured. 246
The collar allows Xiao Wu to enter human society without exposing her true nature. 246
Xiao Wu removes it at Chen Ming’s request when condensing her fourth Spirit Ring, since the observers need to examine the process directly. Afterward, she immediately puts it back on to filter the Spirit Beast aura spilling from her body. Her prolonged reliance on the collar makes wearing it reassuring even around people who already know her identity. 271 272
Soul Tool Gun
Chen Ming gives Xiao Wu a prototype Soul Tool gun 1.0 after she complains about being confined for three years. He claims it can penetrate a Soul King’s protective Soul Power and Spirit Skills and may kill stronger Spirit Masters in a surprise attack. 237
Xiao Wu recognizes the weapon as an attack-type Soul Tool and displays unexpected familiarity with the existence of ancient Soul Tool technology. 237
Relationships
- Chen Ming — Initially a sparring rival; their regular training becomes a close friendship. After discovering her identity, Chen Ming captures and supervises her while also providing cultivation guidance and resources. He later explicitly refuses to exploit Xiao Wu, Da Ming, or Er Ming for his own advancement. 14 15 132 134 157 164 He keeps her under close supervision for three years, but also protects her, provides her with resources, gives her Soul Tools, and eventually creates a collar that allows her to conceal her identity. 237 246 Xiao Wu develops increasingly strong affection for him and eventually embraces and kisses him after he promises to help her leave confinement safely. 239 240 She later accepts further cultivation support and permits him to observe her fourth-ring condensation. He mediates her introduction to Qian Daoliu and arranges protection for her before departing. 269 271 274
- Tang San — Fellow Work-Study Student whom Xiao Wu initially intended to approach; she grows angry and ignores him after he distances himself from Dorm Seven. Later narration states that Asura God had originally guided Xiao Wu toward Tang San. 10 13 185 Chen Ming later recognizes that much of Tang San’s original rise depended on Xiao Wu, her sacrifice, and the Spirit Beasts and opportunities connected to her. 238
- Wang Sheng — Dorm Seven member who accepts her as boss and pays for her meal. 11 13
- Da Ming and Er Ming — Spirit Beasts saved by Xiao Wu’s mother; they lived with Xiao Wu for a hundred thousand years. Da Ming continues to think about Xiao Wu’s well-being while residing in the Star Dou Forest. 109 163 Xiao Wu considers both of them family and includes them among the people she loves. 239 They secretly escort her to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest after her transformation. 19
- Xiao Wu’s mother — A Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast who transformed into a human during the Lightning Tribulation. She saved Da Ming and Er Ming when they were young and was later hunted by Bibi Dong. 109 134
- Xiao Wu’s father — A Jade Rabbit bloodline Beast King and rabbit emperor who possessed at least two hundred thousand years of cultivation. He explored the continent and disappeared in the core region of the Star Dou Forest, where he was apparently killed by Xiong Jun. 134 237 238
- Bibi Dong — The person Xiao Wu holds responsible for hunting her mother and the target of her intended revenge. 132 134 Xiao Wu worries that Chen Ming’s Spirit Hall connections will obstruct this revenge, but learns that Qian Daoliu has a personal grudge against the Pope. 271
- Tang Hao — Secretly saw through Xiao Wu’s transformed identity shortly after she arrived at Nuoding Academy and briefly considered the value of her Spirit Ring and Soul Bone for Tang San. 12 He later decides to hunt her for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone to satisfy Tang Chen’s condition for possible forgiveness, placing sect approval above his earlier promise concerning transformed Spirit Beasts. His plan leads him to attack Chen Ming in Heaven Dou City. 319
- Dugu Bo — Chen Ming’s companion and a Title Douluo whose presence terrifies Xiao Wu after she realizes powerful Spirit Masters can see through her identity. He later accompanies her and Chen Ming to the waterfall cave containing Ah Yin. 132 135 136
- Ah Yin — A weakened Blue Silver Emperor whom Xiao Wu nearly consumes; she later learns remorse after Chen Ming saves Ah Yin. 136 137
- Xiong Jun — The powerful Ferocious Beast believed to have killed Xiao Wu’s father after breaking through his defensive and survival abilities. 237 238
- Qian Daoliu — Spirit Hall’s level-99 Grand Worship, whom Xiao Wu initially fears will covet her ring and bones or prevent her revenge. Chen Ming reassures her of his intentions and explains his hostility toward the Pope. Qian Daoliu then observes her fourth-ring condensation alongside Chen Ming. 271 272
- Qian Renfeng — Initially questions the risks of Chen Ming keeping a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast nearby and reports the matter through a sealed letter under Chen Ming’s instructions. 135 He later becomes one of the protectors Chen Ming names when reassuring Xiao Wu and escorts her back toward Heaven Dou City. 274
- Mountain Range Giant Dragon — Knew Xiao Wu as a mischievous young neighbor in the Star Dou Forest. He recalls that her powerful family kept him from retaliating and later contributes information during her discussion with Chen Ming about Golden Hawksbill Turtles. 273

Trivia
- Xiao Wu’s appetite is pronounced; when Chen Ming invites her to a meal while she fears for her life, she orders one of every dish. 132
- She is particularly fond of Blue Silver Grass because of her rabbit instincts. 136
- Chen Ming’s analysis of Xiao Wu during their sparring sessions became a major basis for his cultivation methods. 132
- She initially struggled with basic human-world common sense, including the fact that food costs money and that Work-Study Students must provide their own necessities. 12 13
- Xiao Wu retained stories about ancient humans and Soul Tools because her father told them to her as bedtime stories. 237
- She considers her father a great hero and explorer, despite his eventual death in the Star Dou Forest. 237
- After three years of confinement, she spends her first period of freedom eating at every restaurant she can find, buying new clothes, and causing a scene at an auction house. 247
- Her Spirit Rings are unusually safe for her to condense because they originate from her own Spirit Beast essence rather than ordinary external Spirit Beasts. 240
- Chen Ming’s later analysis suggests that Xiao Wu’s absence would deprive Tang San of multiple major Spirit Rings, Soul Bones, and encounters central to his original rise. 238
