Background

Shui Xiwei is Shui Rouyun's daughter and Skywater Academy's strongest student. Her Ice Phoenix martial soul is described as a mutation, and at age twelve she had already reached level 28, placing her among the foremost contestants in the Five Elements Academies friendly match 19.

During the tournament, she faced Yu Mingxiao in the deciding match between Skywater and Thunder Academies. Though her control skills initially prevented him from closing in, he countered her ice with high-temperature light soul power. Recognizing that she could no longer win once her Ice Seal became ineffective, she conceded rather than prolonging a lost fight 19 20.

Afterward, she asked to correspond with Yu Mingxiao to exchange ideas. Her mother later encouraged further contact between them, including inviting Yu Mingxiao to explore a Far North ruin and arranging for Shui Xiwei to stay briefly at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan 20 22 26.

Appearance

Shui Xiwei is a notably beautiful young woman with an expressive, lively demeanor that contrasts with her ice-attributed martial soul 61.

• Slender build, with slender calves noted during her stay at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan 27.
• Watery, beautiful eyes used to plead playfully with Yu Mingxiao 61.
• Often blushes or becomes flustered when teased about Yu Mingxiao 17 26.
• Her Martial Soul Possession manifests an ice-blue aura and a phantom Ice Phoenix with crystal-like wings 19.

Personality

Shui Xiwei is candid and perceptive in battle. Rather than exhausting herself in a futile struggle against Yu Mingxiao, she immediately conceded after determining that his light soul power neutralized her primary control skill 20.

She is also playful, forward, and persistent in pursuing Yu Mingxiao's attention. She openly asks to correspond with him, travels with him, requests his help hunting a soul ring, and repeatedly teases him about romance 20 61 178. Despite this flirtatious side, she shows self-awareness: after becoming a Soul Ancestor, she chooses not to follow him to the Star Dou Great Forest because she would only burden him 71.

Her defeat in the friendly match motivated her to correct a weakness in her build. Having lacked strong offensive options against Yu Mingxiao, she deliberately acquired an attack-oriented third soul skill 69.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Five Elements Academies Friendly Match

Shui Xiwei represents Skywater Academy in its decisive match against Thunder Academy. She uses Ice Seal and Resist Ice Ring to maintain control of the arena, but loses after Yu Mingxiao discovers that his heated light soul power can dissolve her ice. She surrenders and seeks future correspondence with him 19 20.

She is impressed when Yu Mingxiao uses light reflected through a mirror to activate the sealed stone gate 23 24.

Sunset Forest and Ice Seal Forest

At level 39, Shui Xiwei joins Yu Mingxiao and Bi Ji on their journey toward Sunset Forest, intending to seek an ice-type fourth soul ring after breaking through 61.

She reveals her new fourth skill, Ice Phoenix Meteor Shower, before parting from Yu Mingxiao and returning to Five Elements City 71.

Later Meetings

Yu Mingxiao later visits Shui Xiwei at Skywater Academy, startling her by appearing through space. She invites him to watch her dance practice and is initially skeptical when he tells her he has become a Titled Douluo 129.

After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan becomes the world's number-one sect, Yu Mingxiao brings her to Dragon City to investigate a treasure. The two enter the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Cave together, where Shui Xiwei seeks warmth behind him against the cave's unbearable cold 178.

• She considers Yu Mingxiao a “monster” because of the disparity between his cultivation speed and her own 61 64.
• Yu Mingxiao considered bringing her to Sea God Island for its trials, but decided against it because of their ambiguous relationship and the potential complications it might cause 130.
