Background

Xiao Wu left the Star Dou Great Forest to enter human society, where a transformed soul beast could grow through exposure to human aura. Her purpose was to become strong enough to avenge her mother, who had been killed by human soul masters. At the forest’s edge, an unexplained voice warned her that Tang San’s father was a Titled Douluo and that Tang San might seek to make her into a soul ring; the warning left her terrified of Tang San and Tang Hao. 10

While living among humans, she initially encountered Tang San at Notting Academy but became increasingly resistant to him, fearing the danger associated with his father. By the time she reached Suotuo City, she was irritated by Tang San repeatedly involving her in his conflicts. 10 72

During her time with Tang San and Lin Qing, Xiao Wu regarded Lin Qing as a friend and joined him in retaliating against the Black Wind Cave bandits after they harmed Er Ni and the villagers. She helped hold off the bandits’ lackeys and rejected Tang San’s attempt to dissuade her from acting. 8

Xiao Wu chose Azure Throne Academy rather than remain alongside Tang San. She joined its team as a Power Attack System Soul Grand Master and later committed herself to her own path despite Tang San’s efforts to bring her back. 83 84 86 138

Appearance

In human form, Xiao Wu is a petite girl with bright eyes and a long scorpion-tail braid. When first leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, she wore a tattered pink dress and was dirty from travel. 10

• Long scorpion-tail braid. 10 84
• Bright, lively eyes that also carry vigilance. 10
• Pink dress during her first entry into the human world. 10
• Rabbit ears manifest while using her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul. 219
• White dress when reunited with Er Ming in the Star Dou Great Forest. 274

Personality

Xiao Wu is lively and direct, but her experiences as a transformed soul beast make her deeply vigilant around powerful humans. Fear of exposure, capture, and being harvested for a soul ring shapes her initial distrust of Tang San, Tang Hao, and any Titled Douluo who notices her aura. 10 136

She values independence and refuses to let Tang San decide her future. She joins Azure Throne Academy by choice, declines to leave with him, and focuses on becoming stronger through training. 74 86 100 138

After learning that Bibi Dong killed her mother, Xiao Wu is overwhelmed by grief and initially wants immediate revenge. She accepts that her current strength is insufficient and becomes determined to pursue godhood in the hope of resurrecting her mother. 145 146

Xiao Wu is fiercely protective of her friends. When Ma Hongjun harasses Ning Rongrong in public, she immediately rushes to Ning Rongrong’s defense and sends him flying with a kick. She later openly condemns the conduct and reputation of Shrek Academy’s students. 232 234

Although she remains emotionally affected by Tang San’s presence, she has come to view his attempts to distance himself from Shrek’s misconduct as self-serving hypocrisy rather than a sincere effort to earn her trust. 235

Her gratitude and reliance on Lin Qing develop into romantic affection after he eliminates Tang Hao as an immediate threat to her safety. She later becomes anxious over the possibility that other girls may also like him and seeks Er Ni’s thoughts on the matter. 198 302

Abilities & Skills

Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul

• Designed for close-range engagement. 96

• Developed increased confidence in the potential of her kicking techniques. 100

• Tang San — Former companion whose presence becomes a source of fear and resentment after Xiao Wu receives the warning concerning Tang Hao.
