Biology & Ecology

Soft Bone Rabbits occupy one of the lowest positions in the Star Dou Great Forest’s food chain. Carnivorous soul beasts prey on them heavily, so the species survives through rapid reproduction and exceptional escape ability rather than combat strength 17 67.

• Low-level Soft Bone Rabbits are herbivores that feed on Blue Silver Grass 17.
• Individuals below ten thousand years of cultivation do not possess intelligence 96.
• A rabbit can begin breeding within months of birth, produce six to ten offspring per litter, and have four to six litters annually; this reproductive capacity is described as the species’ means of avoiding extinction 130.
• Their large population enabled Spirit Hall to establish a continent-wide rabbit-meat trade, resulting in the daily slaughter of tens of thousands of rabbits 96.
• Both Soft Bone Rabbits and Lightning Rabbits can reach the level of ten-year soul beasts in favorable environments 112.

Appearance

Soft Bone Rabbits are furry, pink-eared rabbits. A hundred-thousand-year individual may grow to immense size; Xiao Wu is described in beast form as plump, snow-white, eight meters long, and five meters wide, with drooping half-meter pink ears 16 18.

• Pink ears are a recurring identifying feature 16.
• Hundred-thousand-year individuals can speak human language 16.
• A transformed Soft Bone Rabbit can assume a human appearance 16 91.

Abilities & Traits

Escape and Mobility

The species’ defining survival trait is its ability to evade predators.

• Soft Bone Rabbits rely on mobility and reproduction to survive among stronger carnivorous soul beasts 17 67.
• A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit is considered extremely difficult to capture due to its ability to flee 66 67.
• Xiao Wu uses repeated Teleportation to close distances faster than the Sky Azure Bull Python, then attacks with her hind legs 18.
• Their flexible, boneless physique allows transformed individuals to perform movements that would injure ordinary humans 122.

Physical Combat

Though the bloodline is regarded as low-grade, highly cultivated individuals can possess strength comparable to a Titled Douluo.

• Upon reaching one hundred thousand years, Xiao Wu possesses Titled Douluo-level strength despite the poor quality of the Soft Bone Rabbit bloodline 17.
• Xiao Wu uses ambushes and rabbit-leg leaps as part of her fighting style 66.
• The Exploding Kill Eight-Stage Throw is associated with a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit left arm soul bone; when used by Qian Renchuan, it manifests Xiao Wu’s pink phantom to strike and scatter enemies 260.

Invincible Golden Body

Xiao Wu’s Invincible Golden Body is an exceptionally powerful defensive skill.

• It withstands the Sky Azure Bull Python’s tail strike during the battle at the Lake of Life 18.
• Its defense is stated to resist any attack below god-level power in a single blow, surpassing even the defensive claims associated with Bone Douluo 199.
• The skill can still be damaged by exceptionally powerful attacks; Bibi Dong’s Space Tear: Abyss Cut once cracked it 215.

Spiritual Weakness

Soft Bone Rabbits are vulnerable to mental attacks.

• Xiao Wu’s Spiritual Power is described as weak compared with her physical and evasive abilities 18.
• Qian Xunji’s mental sound waves leave her in severe pain and cause bleeding from her eyes and nose 18.

Transformation

A Soft Bone Rabbit that reaches one hundred thousand years can enter human form.

• Ah Rou reaches the Transformation Stage and becomes physically human-like, though powerful soul masters may still identify her as a transformed soul beast 17.
• Xiao Wu successfully transforms into a human baby after her rebirth, with the Titan Giant Ape acting as her caretaker 91.
• Transformed Soft Bone Rabbits retain their identity as soul beasts in the eyes of many human soul masters and are coveted for their soul rings and soul bones 135 183.

• Ah Rou — Transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit and Xiao Wu’s mother; sacrifices herself to protect Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape 16 67.

Relationships

• Titan Giant Ape (Er Ming) — Protector and sworn sibling of Xiao Wu; later cares for her after she takes human form 16 19 91.

• Tang San — Xiao Wu’s close companion after her transformation into human form 91 122.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lake of Life Conflict

Xiao Wu, Ah Rou, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python live together at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest 16. When Qian Xunji’s group attacks, Xiao Wu ambushes him through Teleportation but is incapacitated by mental attacks and injured in the ensuing clash 18 19.

Qian Xunji rejects Ah Rou as a ninth soul-ring target, judging a Soft Bone Rabbit’s quality inferior to the Sky Azure Bull Python’s. He threatens to capture Xiao Wu and Ah Rou, compelling the Sky Azure Bull Python to sacrifice itself in exchange for their safety 19 21.

Ah Rou’s Sacrifice

During a later confrontation with the Clear Sky Sect, Xiao Wu attacks the sect elders alongside the Titan Giant Ape 66. Ah Rou sacrifices herself so Xiao Wu and Er Ming can escape, warning Xiao Wu against entering the dangerous human world 67.

Rabbit-Meat Trade

Spirit Hall turns low-level rabbits into a major commercial resource. After learning to remove rabbit meat’s gamey smell, Qian Xunji markets it as low-fat, beauty-enhancing food and establishes a production chain involving rabbit farming, slaughter, and processing by fire-attribute soul masters 96.

The trade spreads across the continent, prompting widespread rabbit farming and slaughter while also causing escaped rabbits to establish nests throughout Spirit City 96 110.

Xiao Wu’s Exposure and Sacrifice

After taking human form, Xiao Wu repeatedly draws attention as a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Several factions consider capturing her for her soul ring and soul bone, while Qian Xunji temporarily leaves her alone under his own plans 129 153 183.

When the Titan Giant Ape comes to Spirit City to find her, Qian Renxue kills it for its hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Xiao Wu subsequently begins a soul sacrifice to save Tang San, Tang Xiao, and Tang Hao 241 243.
