Background / History
Xiao Wu first encounters Han Xing at Notting Academy after noticing him staring at her. Sensitive to others’ gazes due to her identity as a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, she confronts him and challenges him to a fight. Tang San accompanies her to the training grounds. 3
At the time, Xiao Wu is still a level 10 Spirit Apprentice without a soul ring. She asks Han Xing not to use spirit abilities, then attempts to force him into close combat. Han Xing instead keeps his distance with Sun True Fire and defeats her after she is burned and knocked unconscious. 4 5
After obtaining her first soul ring, Xiao Wu gathers the work-study students behind her and challenges Han Xing again. Confident that she has closed their spirit-power gap, she publicizes the rematch and enters the arena with a century-old soul ring. Han Xing counters her Waist Bow by seizing her legs and using fire to disrupt her soul-power circulation, then overwhelms her with Flame Feathers. 6 7 8
Years later, Xiao Wu remains hostile toward Han Xing and seeks another duel immediately after learning he has returned to Blue Tyrant Academy. Despite possessing three soul rings, she is decisively defeated by Han Xing’s enhanced ten-thousand-year-ring abilities; she uses Teleport to escape one attack but is ultimately incapacitated. Jiang Zhu treats her injuries, and Tang San takes her away to rest. 32 33 34 35

Personality
Xiao Wu is fiery, confrontational, and highly competitive. She reacts aggressively when she feels insulted or challenged, repeatedly initiates duels with Han Xing, and becomes especially angry when he dismisses her or recalls her prior defeats. 3 6 7 32 34
She is also proud and stubborn. After gaining a soul ring, she assumes she can now defeat Han Xing; later, even after seeing his four ten-thousand-year soul rings, she initially believes they may be deceptive. 6 34
Her close bond with Tang San is evident whenever she is injured or challenged: Tang San consistently intervenes on her behalf, escorts her away after battles, and considers her in his decisions. 5 8 34 40
