Background / History

Xiao Wu was the boss of Notting Academy's Dorm Seven before Xia Yan's arrival. She challenged him, but he declined; later, he lent her money for bedding and told her that registered Soul Masters could receive a monthly Soul Ring subsidy. She had not obtained a Soul Ring at that time, despite her Innate Full Soul Power. 5

Feeling a connection through their shared Innate Full Soul Power, Xiao Wu moved her bed beside Xia Yan's. 6 After Xia Yan defeated more than twenty students, including her group, she recognized that she was not the only powerful student and felt relieved. 9 After previously speaking ill of Yu Xiaogang, she formally apologized to Tang San when she realized that she had been wrong. 10

Xiao Wu developed feelings for Xia Yan and asked him to teach her, but he maintained emotional distance. His unannounced early graduation and departure from Notting City left her in tears. 11 14

Upon entering Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu demonstrated two century-level Soul Rings and Soul Power close to level 30. She insisted on paying her own enrollment fee rather than accepting Tang San's money. 25 Learning that Xia Yan was also connected to Shrek Academy left her visibly excited and anxious to see him again. 26

In the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape abducted Xiao Wu while attacking the Shrek group. 44 Xiao Wu later confessed her love to Xia Yan. He revealed that he knew she was a Soul Beast in human form and that a Titled Douluo was pursuing her. 45 After being released by the Titan Giant Ape, she awakened beside several Soul Beast corpses, including a thousand-year Lightning Rabbit, whose Soul Ring she absorbed after reaching level 30. 48

Xiao Wu accepted Xia Yan's plan to conceal her feelings publicly, return to Shrek Academy, and await a way to hide her aura before the Soul Master Tournament. 46 Xia Yan later acquired the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, whose Vast Sea Protective Shroud can conceal an aura completely, and set out to find Xiao Wu. 134

By Chapter 136, Xiao Wu was cultivating alone in a forest east of Morning Water Academy, where she had become a prominent student because of her appearance. She ignored the attention directed toward her and concentrated on cultivation and her feelings for Tang San. 136

Appearance

Xiao Wu is a pink-clad girl with a long scorpion braid, peach-pink delicate skin, and large, clear, gem-like eyes. 4

• Her scorpion braid is a defining feature of her appearance. 4
• After condensing her third Soul Ring, her figure became more developed and her temperament more mature. 45
• Following her separation in the Star Dou Great Forest, her braid was partly unraveled and matted with grass and dirt, while her clothes were torn but she had no serious injuries. 47
• While cultivating near Morning Water Academy, she wears a white, purple, and pink dress that accentuates her mature figure. 136
• When she manifests her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, she gains a pair of long, soft, snow-white rabbit ears. 58 136

Personality

Xiao Wu is proud and strong-willed, openly declaring her Innate Full Soul Power and initially acting as Dorm Seven's boss. 5 She can also be naïve, as shown by her lack of knowledge about Soul Rings and Soul Master subsidies. 5 However, she follows a strong sense of right and wrong, apologizing to Tang San after recognizing that she had wrongly spoken against Yu Xiaogang. 10

She is deeply emotional and devoted to those important to her. Xia Yan's departure hurt her badly, while his return to find her in the Star Dou Great Forest convinced her that he had not changed. 14 45 Faced with the danger surrounding her identity, she accepts a painful separation and agrees to conceal her affection for his protection. 46

Xiao Wu is capable of cold restraint and independence. She refused Tang San's financial help during Shrek's entrance examination, avoided his touch after returning from the forest, and addressed the group formally despite his visible relief. 25 47 When she suspected Yu Xiaogang's involvement in her earlier troubles, she threatened to withdraw from Shrek Academy and vowed retaliation. 58

At Morning Water Academy, Xiao Wu remains detached from the attention of other students and focuses on solitary cultivation. 136
