Background / History

Xiao Xiao's parents were close friends of Jiang Ci'an's parents. When Xiao Xiao was two, her parents suffered an accident while hunting a soul ring; one died immediately, while the other entrusted Xiao Xiao to Jiang Ci'an's family before dying from their injuries. She and Jiang Ci'an consequently grew up together, and his parents treated her as their own daughter. 1

When Jiang Ci'an's parents were killed by evil soul masters, Elder Xiao protected both children from those coveting the family estate. Jiang Ci'an sold most of the estate's fixed assets, and the two relocated to Shrek City, where they established Ping'an Pharmacy. 1

At six years old, Xiao Xiao awakened twin martial souls and innate full soul power. Startled by Elder Xiao's reaction, she hid behind Jiang Ci'an; at his request, Elder Xiao agreed not to publicize her awakening. 1

Appearance

Xiao Xiao is a petite girl with emerald-green eyes and ink-green hair, usually tied into a ponytail. Early in her cultivation, she appeared frail and timid around strangers, but body tempering and soul-ring absorption gradually made her stronger and more resilient. 1 5 10

• Emerald-green eyes. 1
• Ink-green ponytail. 3 10
• Commonly wears light-cyan training clothes with dark lower garments and practical footwear. 3 10
• Her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons are pitch-black and engraved with intricate inscriptions. 10

Personality

Xiao Xiao is initially shy and wary around unfamiliar people, instinctively relying on Jiang Ci'an for reassurance. Despite her delicate appearance, she is determined, serious about cultivation, and unwilling to accept falling behind him. 1 3 11

She is notably stubborn and protective of those and what she considers hers. Her attachment to Jiang Ci'an develops into open possessiveness and jealousy toward Wang Dong'er and Na'er, though she trusts Jiang Ci'an's word when he reassures her. 25 75 80 92

Her rivalry with Wang Dong'er gradually becomes a close friendship marked by teasing, sparring, and mutual encouragement. 25 27 48

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Xiao Xiao possesses twin martial souls and innate full soul power. Only the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is identified in the available record. 1 3

• Her twin-martial-soul constitution carries a future risk of internal martial-soul conflict. 3
• She deliberately strengthens her body from an early age to prepare for this conflict. 3 50
• Her second martial soul has not yet been named or described. 1 49

Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron

Her primary documented martial soul is a mutation of the Xiao Clan's Soul-Suppressing Cauldron: one cauldron is divided into three, allowing the vessels to support one another. 3

• Can be used for suppression, defense, and direct physical attacks. 3 5 50
• All three cauldrons can coordinate for defense. 5
• Increased mass lets her wield the cauldrons as crushing weapons against opponents of equal rank. 50
• She can throw the cauldrons at airborne targets, making flight an unreliable defense against her. 26
• Concentration Meditation Method training improves her mental control, allowing precise handling of the heavy cauldrons. 50

Weight of the Cauldron

Xiao Xiao's first soul skill increases the weight of her Soul-Suppressing Cauldron according to the soul power she invests. It originated from a 400–500-year Thick-Armored Iron Rhinoceros soul ring. 5

• Raises both offensive force and suppressive pressure. 5 50
• Supports her physique-building cultivation path by forcing her to handle increasing weight. 3 50
• Has continued long-term development potential rather than serving as a short-lived enhancement. 5

Body Tempering Method

Xiao Xiao practices Jiang Ci'an's Body Tempering Method, using the pressure of her cauldrons alongside controlled movements and breathing to temper her body while cultivating soul power. 10

• Integrates external physical refinement with internal soul-power cultivation. 10
• Operates at approximately 1.5 times the efficiency of standard meditation during its early-stage use. 10
• Greatly improved her strength, endurance, and physical resilience. 10 11
• She also uses the cauldrons to apply pressure while Jiang Ci'an practices alongside her. 11

Soul Power Fusion

Xiao Xiao can fuse soul power with Wang Dong'er through synchronized cultivation. Their initial fusion lasted only around a dozen seconds, but produced unusually powerful merged soul power. 73

• Fusion with Wang Dong'er combines their black soul power into a more concentrated form. 73
• She later joins Wang Dong'er and Na'er in a three-person fusion, incorporating Na'er's silver-white elemental soul power. 93
• The three-way fusion improves the operation and efficiency of their Body Tempering Method. 93

Contract Link

Jiang Ci'an signed a contract with Xiao Xiao after she became jealous of his contract with Wang Dong'er. 60

• Xiao Xiao's cultivation provides Jiang Ci'an with a small share of her gains, increasing his cultivation efficiency. 60
• The contract is described as a deeply binding connection, though its full effects on Xiao Xiao remain unspecified. 60 92

Relationships

• Jiang Ci'an — Childhood friend and foster-family companion. They grew up together after Xiao Xiao was orphaned, cultivate together, and share a deeply dependent bond. 1 10 25
• Xiao Shan / Elder Xiao — Her grandfather and the elder who arranged her martial-soul awakening and first soul ring. He protects and guides her cultivation. 1 3 5
• Wang Dong'er — Began as a sparring rival after Dong'er challenged her cultivation practices; they became close friends and cultivation partners despite frequent bickering. 25 27 73
• Na'er — Initially viewed by Xiao Xiao with suspicion and jealousy due to Na'er's sudden arrival near Jiang Ci'an. They later participate together in three-way soul-power fusion training. 80 92 93

Story Role / Major Arcs

Martial Soul Awakening and First Soul Ring

Xiao Xiao's twin martial souls and innate full soul power establish her as an exceptional young cultivator. Following Jiang Ci'an's recommendation, she chooses the weight-stacking path for her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and absorbs a Thick-Armored Iron Rhinoceros soul ring. 1 3 5

Body-Tempering Cultivation

Under Jiang Ci'an's supervision, Xiao Xiao adopts the Body Tempering Method, enduring the pressure of her own cauldrons to improve both physique and soul power. This path turns her from a frail-looking child into a physically formidable combatant. 10 11 50

Rivalry with Wang Dong'er

Xiao Xiao first clashes with Wang Dong'er over a sparring match, exploiting the cauldrons' massive weight while Dong'er relies on flight. Their competition develops into friendship, and they later train, meditate, and attempt soul-power fusion together. 24 25 27 73

Second Soul Ring and Heavy-Cauldron Path

After reaching level 20, Xiao Xiao absorbs a roughly 2,900-year Dark Gold Bear soul ring. The ring substantially reinforces her body and further increases the cauldrons' mass and suppressive force, consolidating her combat style around overwhelming physical power. 48 49 50

Trinity Fusion Training

Xiao Xiao continues fusion cultivation with Wang Dong'er and later Na'er. Their combined soul power enhances the Body Tempering Method, making the group’s cultivation more efficient. 73 93
