Background / History

Xiao Xiao initially attended Shrek Academy and competed alongside Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in the freshman assessment. Using her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron as the team's defensive foundation, she helped the trio secure ten consecutive victories and become champions of their district 18.

Before the elimination round, Zhou Yi ordered Xiao Xiao to attach a century-old soul ring to her second martial soul, the Nine-Phoenix Flute, so that she could better support her teammates. Xiao Xiao was troubled by the order: she wanted to help Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, but instinctively felt that permanently shaping her second martial soul for a freshman assessment was reckless 19.

Gu An encountered Xiao Xiao in Shrek City and warned her that sacrificing the Nine-Phoenix Flute's future for a minor assessment would be a waste of her twin martial soul talent. Though initially resistant to leaving Shrek, Xiao Xiao was persuaded to seek Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's opinion herself 20. Their dismissive response confirmed that neither understood nor seriously considered the consequences for her future, leaving Xiao Xiao devastated and prompting her to leave the academy temporarily 21.

Xiao Xiao returned late for the match against Dai Huabin's team but deliberately kept the Nine-Phoenix Flute ringless. During the battle, she faced the Nether White Tiger alone while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong attempted—and failed—to activate their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Her cauldron was knocked aside, and she was defeated after enduring attacks beyond the ability of a two-ring Great Soul Master to withstand 22 23.

Zhou Yi and Wang Dong subsequently blamed Xiao Xiao for the loss, faulting her for arriving late, refusing to obtain the soul ring, and failing to hold the Nether White Tiger longer. Xiao Xiao insisted that she had already done her best 24. Gu An intervened on her behalf, publicly calling her his sister and accusing Shrek of attempting to ruin her future 26.

After leaving Shrek's sphere of influence, Xiao Xiao was brought to Seven Treasures City. Shrek Academy branded her a traitor and attempted to locate her family for leverage, unaware that her family had already relocated 39 40. She later became a student of Spirit Transmission Academy, where she trained alongside Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Tang Qi, Gu Yue, Yuan'en Yehui, and Lan Fozi 76 85.

Gu An later entrusted Xiao Xiao with guiding Yuan'en Yehui and Lan Fozi around the academy, reflecting his confidence in her reliability 82. He also gave her the Primordial Immortal Herb, intended to enhance her soul power and assist her future Soul Core condensation 104.

Appearance

Xiao Xiao is a petite girl with light-green hair, usually styled in two braids. Her youthful, round features and expressive almond-shaped eyes contribute to the innocent impression she often gives others 19 26.

• Long light-green hair, commonly braided into two plaits 19
• Small, slender build despite being older than Gu An 26
• Round, chubby face and long curled eyelashes 26 40
• Often visibly blushes around Gu An, especially during their first meeting 19 20

Personality

At Shrek Academy, Xiao Xiao was kind-hearted, insecure, and deeply concerned about becoming a burden to her teammates. Her willingness to consider sacrificing the potential of her second martial soul came from her desire to help Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong rather than from ambition 19 20.

Her encounter with Gu An forces her to reconsider blind obedience to teachers and teammates. After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong dismiss her concerns, she becomes more independent and emotionally distant from them, recognizing that her long-term future cannot be treated as expendable 21 22.

Xiao Xiao remains affectionate and openly attached to Gu An, whom she calls “Brother.” She is also sociable and dependable around her new peers, readily taking responsibility for helping newcomers settle into Spirit Transmission Academy 78 82.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Freshman Assessment

Xiao Xiao serves as the defensive member of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's team. Her team wins its district, but Zhou Yi's demand that she compromise her secondary martial soul creates the conflict that separates her from Shrek 18 19.

Break with Shrek Academy

After her teammates dismiss her concerns, Xiao Xiao refuses to obtain the ring Zhou Yi demanded. She returns for the elimination match, is defeated while protecting the others, and becomes the scapegoat for the team's loss 21 23 24.

Joining Spirit Transmission Academy

Gu An and Leng Yaozhu remove Xiao Xiao from Shrek's influence. Shrek subsequently treats her as a traitor and tries to use her family as leverage, while Xiao Xiao begins a new path at Spirit Transmission Academy 26 39 40.

Spirit Transmission Academy Student

Xiao Xiao grows alongside the academy's expanding group of prodigies. She guides new students, receives cultivation resources from Gu An, and continues to fight despite facing opponents with far greater soul power 82 104 109.
