Xiao Wu

Biodata

Physical Description

Xiao Wu is a strikingly beautiful young girl with a delicate, almost ethereal appearance. Her skin is so fair it seems translucent under moonlight, and her long, smooth legs are often accentuated by gray silk stockings and crystal high heels 23 37. She typically wears a pink gauze dress that sways gently as she moves, and her long black hair is usually tied into a neat, spirited scorpion braid 24 37. Her face is clean and fair, with large, round eyes that have slightly upturned corners and lips that are a natural pale pink 22. Overall, her look combines girlish charm with a touch of elegance, often described as being sculpted from moonlight 23.

• Hair: Long black hair, usually styled in a neat scorpion braid 24; when unbraided, it falls loosely over her shoulders 10 22.
• Dress: A pink gauze dress with thin straps and side ribbons, often described as soft and light 23; the hem sways with her steps 37. She also wears pink silk pajamas and a pink nightgown while in the dormitory 10 64.
• Footwear: Crystal high heels that tap crisply on the pavement, paired occasionally with flat cloth shoes at night 22 23 37.
• Stockings: Gray silk stockings covering her slender calves 37 63.
• Accessories: A Pink Rabbit Pendant, a cloth rabbit kept under her pillow or in her clothing, which was her first claw-machine prize 2 10 24. She also sometimes wears a rabbit-ear hair accessory 12 16.

Personality

Xiao Wu is a complex and multifaceted individual whose actions are driven by a potent blend of ambition, loyalty, and impulsiveness. She is fiercely determined, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals, whether that means exposing a manipulative classmate, rapidly increasing her soul power, or securing the favor of a mortal shopkeeper. This determination often manifests as a strong competitive streak; she takes obvious delight in surpassing her peers, such as when she secretly reaches Silver Member status and laughs at Ning Rongrong's lower rank 24. However, her drive is matched by an impulsive nature that can lead her to act rashly and without full consideration of the consequences. As noted, “Xiao Wu was impatient by nature. The more he hesitated, the more anxious she became. When she got anxious, she tended to lose her head, and when she lost her head, she tended to do impulsive things” 22. This impulsivity, combined with her resourcefulness, can also make her manipulative, as she is willing to use her Charm soul skill to override Qin Chuan's resistance and achieve her own ends 22.

Beneath this calculating exterior, Xiao Wu is deeply protective of her friends and those she perceives as vulnerable, stepping in to stop Tang San from harassing Huo Wu and later lying to Qian Renxue to shield her dormmates and the secret of their power gains 2 43. She also shows a caring, even tender side through small acts, such as bringing Qin Chuan food and feeding him grapes, as well as joining her roommates in serving him at the shop 51 63. Her playful, mischievous humor is especially evident in her delight at Oscar's humiliation and in her eagerness to use Bai Chenxiang's fake soul ring to frighten Ma Hongjun 8 25. By the eve of the Freshman Arena Tournament, she becomes openly confident in the strength she and her roommates have gained and looks forward to proving it against the F4 64.

• Determined: Unwaveringly pursues her objectives, such as leveling up quickly or exposing Tang San's deceit, often without regard for personal risk or moral boundaries 2 22.
• Impulsive: Acts on sudden urges and strong emotions, leading her to make hasty decisions like sneaking out at night to use her Charm on Qin Chuan 22.
• Protective: Stands up for her friends and other vulnerable individuals, intervening to protect Huo Wu from Tang San and lying to Qian Renxue to shield her dormmates 2 43.
• Competitive: Possesses a strong desire to win and surpass others, taking intense pride in her accomplishments and secretly enjoying being ahead of friends like Ning Rongrong 24.
• Resourceful: Quick to devise plans and adapt to situations, as shown when she fabricates a plausible lie to explain her power increase during Qian Renxue's interrogation 43.
• Secretive: Willingly hides her activities and motivations, maintaining a facade of normalcy while engaging in clandestine visits to the claw machine shop and concealing her Silver Member status 24 43.
• Assertive: Confidently takes charge in interactions, whether confronting Tang San on the sports field or initiating her relationship with Qin Chuan 2 22.
• Caring: Shows genuine warmth and consideration through repeated actions, such as bringing Qin Chuan food, feeding him grapes, and helping at his shop 51 63.
• Playful: Enjoys teasing and laughing with friends, taking delight in humorous situations like Oscar's misfortune and Ma Hongjun's fright 8 25.
• Confident: Following her rapid growth, she is convinced that the F4 cannot match the girls' advancement and eagerly anticipates the Freshman Arena Tournament 64.

Abilities and Skills

Teleport

Xiao Wu's third soul skill grants her the ability to instantly vanish from her current location and reappear at another point within an undetermined range. In combat, she used it to escape Tang San's Blue Silver Cage without breaking the cage, reappearing at his side to land a kick. She then used it again to evade his Blue Silver Overlord Spear and strike him from behind 2 3.

• Applications: Used to evade confinement skills and to counterattack from unexpected angles. Combined with her physical strength, teleportation enables hit-and-run tactics against opponents with higher raw power 2 3.
• Limitations: The exact range, cooldown, and activation conditions have not been specified.

Charm

Xiao Wu's second soul skill emits a soft pink halo that influences the target's emotions and perceptions. When used on Qin Chuan, a mortal with no soul power resistance, the effect was nearly one hundred percent, leaving him highly receptive to her requests and proximity 22.

• Applications: Used to persuade or manipulate individuals, especially those without strong soul power defenses. It can overcome reluctance or hesitation in social interactions 22.
• Limitations: Effectiveness depends on the target's soul power level and mental resistance. The technique is unlikely to be equally effective against powerful soul masters or targets with mental-defense abilities.

Void and Violent Killing Eight-Stage Throw

A 90,000-year soul skill obtained by Xiao Wu from a high-tier claw machine doll. It consists of two components: Void grants immunity to all physical and energy attacks for an unspecified duration; Violent Killing Eight-Stage Throw is a multi-hit combo in which, once the first throw connects, the opponent cannot resist and is stunned by each successive strike for eight consecutive throws 50 64.

• Applications: Void makes her temporarily invulnerable, ideal for initiating or surviving high-damage exchanges. The Eight-Stage Throw is a decisive close-range finisher against any target she successfully strikes first 50 64.
• Limitations: The immunity duration is unknown. The throw sequence requires the initial hit to connect; if Xiao Wu misses the opening attack, the guaranteed eight-hit chain cannot begin 50.

Power Progression

Relationships

**Qin Chuan**

Qin Chuan is the mortal shopkeeper of the “Happy Claw Machine” shop, entirely unaware that the young women who frequent his establishment are using their interactions with him to gain secret membership experience and level up. Maintaining a professional yet approachable demeanor, he treats each visitor with polite warmth—accepting Xiao Wu’s grape-feeding, allowing Ning Rongrong to massage his shoulders, and letting Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang clean his shop 51 63. He is genuinely puzzled by the sudden romantic confessions he receives. When Ning Rongrong confesses and kisses him, he rejects her with the self-deprecating observation that “a man with empty pockets shouldn’t lead a beautiful woman astray,” showing his lack of confidence and his sense of unworthiness as a mortal in a world of powerful soul masters 21.

Later, when Xiao Wu knocks on his door in the middle of the night and asks him to be her boyfriend, he is bewildered, noting that two girls have suddenly taken an interest in him 22. Under the influence of Xiao Wu’s Charm skill, he shares an intimate night with her, after which he sleeps soundly and retains only hazy, dreamlike memories of what occurred 23 24. Despite these interactions, Qin Chuan remains largely oblivious to the girls’ hidden competition for his favor and the system’s mechanics. He casually reveals to Xiao Wu that he plans to go fishing with Hu Liena, showing no awareness of the jealousy this triggers 51. His relationships with the girls are thus defined by his own innocence and the stark contrast between his simple contentment and their calculated maneuvering.

**Xiao Wu**

Xiao Wu is the most proactive and competitive of the four roommates in her relationship with Qin Chuan. Initially, she discovers the shop and wins a pink rabbit pendant that boosts her soul power eight levels overnight, setting her on a path of rapid growth 2. She quickly befriends Ning Rongrong and shares the secret, then brings Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang into the fold, showing a strong sense of camaraderie 8 10. However, once she learns from Ning Rongrong that kissing Qin Chuan grants 10 membership experience points—more than double the five points earned from chores—a fierce rivalry ignites within her 21.

The very next night, she sneaks out to the shop and, using her Charm second soul skill, persuades a reluctant Qin Chuan to be her boyfriend, leading to an intimate encounter that elevates her from Ordinary to Silver Member 22 23. She keeps her new status secret from her roommates, snickering to herself when Ning Rongrong remains only a Bronze Member 24. Xiao Wu’s relationship with Qin Chuan is thus a strategic calculation tinged with genuine affection; she enjoys feeding him grapes, bringing him food, and spending time with him, but she also views his favor as the key to gaining an edge in the competition for prizes and strength 51 63.

Her jealousy flares when she learns that Hu Liena has been going on solo fishing trips with Qin Chuan, earning far more experience than her own daily grape-feeding sessions 51. Even as the girls prepare for the Freshman Arena Tournament, Xiao Wu continues to participate in the warm, domestic atmosphere around Qin Chuan's shop with her roommates 63 64. She also holds a deep grudge against Tang San, having humiliated him in a public fight for harassing female students, and she later lies to Qian Renxue to protect the shop’s secret 2 3 43.

**Ning Rongrong**

Ning Rongrong is the bold one among the roommates—the first to act on the system’s prompt that “showing affection to Brother Chuan increases membership experience” 21. After visiting the shop and winning a white cat pendant that gives her two levels and a soul bone, she returns with Xiao Wu and becomes increasingly curious about the ways to gain the shopkeeper’s favor 5 10. One afternoon, she delivers food to Qin Chuan and offers to clean his shop, earning 5 member EXP 18 21. But it is her confession and kiss that truly unlock progress: she gathers her courage, tells Qin Chuan her feelings, and after being gently rejected, she kisses him on the lips, immediately leveling up from Ordinary to Bronze Member 21.

She shares this discovery with her roommates in a late-night whispered conversation, but she does not disclose the full extent of her boldness until pressed by Xiao Wu 21. Ning Rongrong’s relationship with Qin Chuan is marked by her initiative and care: she massages his shoulders, cleans the counter, and is visibly affected when he mentions his fishing plans with Hu Liena 51 63. She also maintains a close friendship with Xiao Wu, laughing together over Oscar’s stone mushroom sausage mishap, but the competitive undercurrent regarding Qin Chuan’s attention is always present 8. Unlike Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong does not employ charm skills or deception; her approach is more straightforward, albeit still driven by the desire for leveling up.

**Hu Liena**

Hu Liena’s relationship with Qin Chuan is more secretive and strategically intimate than that of the other girls. As the vice-president of the academy, she initially visits the claw machine shop under the guise of curiosity, but she quickly discovers the same system that the Dormitory 666 girls use 31 33. Hu Liena leverages her maturity and confidence to take Qin Chuan on fishing trips to the Star Dou Forest, where she can spend long stretches of exclusive time with him while gaining membership experience 38 39 41.

During one such trip, she uses Fox Charm on Qin Chuan and later reaches Gold Member status, far surpassing the Bronze and Silver statuses of the four younger girls 41 42. Her continuing intimacy with Qin Chuan eventually earns her 400 EXP and advances her to Diamond Member, unlocking the “God’s Kin” feature and a potential path for the pair to ascend to godhood together 56. Hu Liena’s relationship with Qin Chuan is characterized by both calculated ambition and increasingly genuine attachment. Her superior membership privileges and exclusive outings remain a major source of tension and motivation for Xiao Wu and her roommates 50 51.

**Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang**

Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang are the quieter, more reserved members of Dormitory 666, but they are drawn into the circle surrounding Qin Chuan after Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong share their secret 10. Initially, they experience male harassment: Zhu Zhuqing is “pestered by Dai Mubai every day,” and Bai Chenxiang is “harassed by Ma Hongjun several times” 8. The shop provides them with a path to strength and a safe haven. When they first visit the shop and help with chores, they quickly understand the system: Zhu Zhuqing, after wiping down claw machines, hears a notification sound in her mind, confirming her membership experience increase 24.

Both girls develop a quiet, diligent relationship with Qin Chuan. Zhu Zhuqing focuses on tasks like mopping floors with intense determination, unwilling to lose in the competition for his favor 24 51. Bai Chenxiang washes curtains and wins the first doll of the group from the claw machine, triggering a voice transmission that grants her a fake Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring 24 25. Though they are not as forward as Xiao Wu or Ning Rongrong, they are equally affected by Qin Chuan’s plans with Hu Liena: Zhu Zhuqing’s mopping motion slows, and Bai Chenxiang’s hands clench tightly when they hear about the fishing trips 51. Their relationship with Qin Chuan is thus one of quiet loyalty and shared purpose, bolstered by their friendship with the other two girls. They also stand with Xiao Wu in preparing to confront the F4 at the Freshman Arena Tournament 64.

**Tang San**

Tang San’s relationship with Xiao Wu is defined by humiliation, rivalry, and suspicion. He is the leader of the Campus F4 and was initially a level 69 Soul Emperor, portrayed as a manipulative womanizer who uses his charm to pursue new female students 2. When he tries to woo the new student Huo Wu, Xiao Wu intervenes, exposes his past behavior, and defeats him in a humiliating public fight that sends him crashing into a wall and then into the sports field steps 2 3. This defeat shatters Tang San’s confidence and fuels a burning desire to uncover Xiao Wu’s secret. He confides in Oscar, expressing frustration and determination to investigate her sudden power surge 3.

His relationship with Xiao Wu is thus adversarial: he sees her as a threat to his status and the source of the unexplained strength gains of the girls in Dormitory 666. He also feels betrayed by the academy’s official investigation, which concludes that the girls’ improvements are merely “personal fortunes,” and he bonds with Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun over their shared humiliation 43. After returning to the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San receives a 30,000-year Titan Giant Ape soul ring for his Clear Sky Hammer, reaches level 72, and begins planning with the F4 to cripple Xiao Wu and her friends during the Freshman Arena Tournament 46 47. Xiao Wu, now level 78 and armed with a 90,000-year soul skill, is equally confident that the coming confrontation will end in the girls’ favor 64.

**Qian Renxue**

Qian Renxue becomes aware of Xiao Wu after observing the abnormal discrepancy between Xiao Wu’s recorded level 62 cultivation and the strength she displayed against Tang San 4 33. As Student Council President, she interrogates Xiao Wu regarding the sudden jump to level 70 and possible collusion with outside forces 43. Xiao Wu remains composed, claims that her growth resulted from personal fortune and rare treasures, and dismisses Qin Chuan as an irrelevant mortal whose shop the girls visit merely for entertainment 43.

Although Qian Renxue notices Xiao Wu’s momentary panic when Qin Chuan is mentioned, she cannot obtain evidence linking the Happy Claw Machine shop to the girls’ advancement. The academy therefore formally rules that their gains are personal opportunities rather than outside interference 43. Their relationship remains one of guarded suspicion, with Xiao Wu determined to preserve her dormitory’s secret and Qian Renxue increasingly convinced that Qin Chuan and the claw-machine shop conceal the true explanation 43 53.

Story Synopsis

Initial Discovery and First Triumphs

Xiao Wu, a student at Spirit Academy, stumbles upon a nondescript claw machine shop called “Happy Claw Machine” run by Qin Chuan, a man who has transmigrated from Earth. As the shop's first customer, she plays in the normal section and wins a pink rabbit pendant 1 2. The system immediately grants her a staggering bonus—eight levels of soul power, jumping from level 62 to level 70 2. Empowered by this rapid increase, Xiao Wu publicly confronts and defeats the overconfident Tang San, a level 69 Soul Emperor, after exposing his manipulative behavior toward new female students. The humiliation of the so-called “Campus F4” begins 2 3.

Excited by her gains, Xiao Wu brings her roommate Ning Rongrong to the shop. On her third attempt, Ning Rongrong wins a white cat pendant, receiving two levels in soul power and an 8,000-year Medusa head bone with an active skill 5. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong resolve to conceal the shop's existence from men and eventually share their secret with their remaining roommates, Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang, who are suffering from Dai Mubai's and Ma Hongjun's harassment 8 10. The four girls visit the shop together, where Bai Chenxiang successfully catches a Ragdoll Swallow and obtains a fake Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring 24 25.

The Secret of Membership and Rapid Leveling

The girls soon realize that the shop operates on a membership system, and experience points can be earned not just by winning but by pleasing the shopkeeper. Ning Rongrong discovers that helping Qin Chuan with chores or receiving his favor increases membership EXP. Acting on this, she confesses to Qin Chuan and kisses him, instantly raising her membership from Ordinary to Bronze Member and unlocking additional daily attempts and access to the High-Tier Zone 21.

Xiao Wu, driven by competitive spirit and the desire for even greater gains, takes a more drastic step. She sneaks out of her dormitory at night, knocks on the shop door, and uses her Charm soul skill to influence Qin Chuan. After an intimate night with him, her membership EXP rises by 100 points, boosting her directly from Ordinary to Silver Member and skipping Bronze entirely 22 23. As a Silver Member, she gains five daily attempts and access to the High-Tier Zone. The next morning, she secretly enjoys her advantage while concealing her newfound status from her roommates 24.

Escalation, Rivalries, and Inner Competition

As the four girls—Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang—begin to reap the rewards of the claw machine, their power grows exponentially. Xiao Wu obtains a 90,000-year soul skill, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Zhu Zhuqing gains the ability to fly, and Bai Chenxiang obtains a 50,000-year soul skill 50 64. They agree to keep these gains a secret, especially from Qin Chuan himself, and to avoid attracting attention 50.

Meanwhile, Tang San, humiliated and desperate for revenge, returns to the Clear Sky Sect. His uncle, Sect Master Tang Xiao, refuses to directly intervene but provides him with a 30,000-year Titan Giant Ape soul ring for his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer 45 46. Tang San reaches level 72 and joins Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun in planning revenge at the annual Freshman Arena Tournament 47.

The girls also realize they face a new competitor: Hu Liena, a senior student who has discovered the shop's secrets and has already reached Gold Member status. Hu Liena monopolizes afternoon sessions, receives more attempts per day, and obtains superior rewards, creating a sense of crisis among the Dormitory 666 girls 50. Her later advancement to Diamond Member further establishes the scale of her advantage 56. Xiao Wu and her roommates intensify their efforts to gain Qin Chuan’s favor through chores, food, affection, and companionship, each attempting to narrow the membership gap 50 51 63.

Over the following month, Xiao Wu’s soul power rises from level 70 to level 78. She retains the 90,000-year Void and Violent Killing Eight-Stage Throw, while her roommates reach comparable Soul Saint-level milestones and prepare to reveal their strength in the Freshman Arena Tournament 64.

Consequences and Looming Threats

The rapid power increases of the four girls do not go unnoticed. During an investigation by Qian Renxue, the girls are questioned about possible collusion with outside forces. Xiao Wu deflects the inquiry by citing personal good fortune and rare treasures while firmly concealing Qin Chuan's role and the shop's secret 43. The academy ultimately concludes that the girls’ improvements are matters of personal fortune, though Qian Renxue remains suspicious 43 53.

The rivalry with Tang San and the F4 intensifies as both sides prepare for the Freshman Arena Tournament. Tang San and his friends train through extreme methods and medicinal herbs, believing their cultivation will allow them to crush Xiao Wu's group in the arena 47 49 63. Xiao Wu and her roommates, however, are confident that their claw-machine rewards and extraordinary new abilities have put them far beyond what the F4 expect 64.
