Background / History
Xiao Ming is a Dragon Ball fan who, like Lin Feng, transmigrated into the Dragon Ball World. Having already worked to improve his strength, he joins Lin Feng in pursuit of power and glory. The two quickly become dependable traveling partners, supporting one another through escalating dangers. 3
Soon after forming their partnership, Xiao Ming helps Lin Feng infiltrate and destroy an evil organization's base. His support magic complements Lin Feng's combat techniques, establishing the pair's usual battle dynamic: Lin Feng engages or identifies an opening while Xiao Ming attacks, restrains, or protects from range. 3 5
During their early travels, Xiao Ming identifies a giant monster's vulnerable eyes and lands the decisive magical strike that lets Lin Feng finish it. He later learns a new magic from secret manuals, increasing his value as both an attacker and a tactical support fighter. 4
Personality
Xiao Ming is determined to improve rather than settle for past victories. He shares Lin Feng's belief that constant self-improvement is necessary to survive and become powerful in the Dragon Ball World. 4
He is cautious around dangerous power and crises, regularly urging the group not to lower its guard. His concern is practical rather than fearful: he studies threats, searches for countermeasures, and commits himself to protecting his companions. 22 27 48
