Background / History

Xiao Wu first arrives at Notting Academy's Dorm Seven as a girl with a long scorpion braid. Aggressive and unwilling to yield, she challenges Xia Yuan for control of the dormitory but is defeated by his enhanced Blue Silver Grass. 6

During their year at Notting Academy, Xia Yuan repeatedly uses Empty Handed on her. One lucky critical steals a full rank of her soul power; a later critical grants Xia Yuan a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone. 9

After traveling with Tang San to Suotuo City, Xiao Wu attempts to defend him when Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng assault and harass them at the Rose Hotel. 68

During the Shrek students' encounter with the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu is taken into the forest by Er Ming. There, she calmly condenses her third soul ring while Er Ming drives nearby soul beasts away. Tang San later discovers that she can communicate with the intelligent beast and witnesses their close familiarity. 77 78

Xiao Wu continues concealing her identity as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. She helps identify the age of a Man Faced Demon Spider, preventing Meng Yiran from attempting to absorb an unsuitable ring. 89 In Heaven Dou City, she becomes increasingly afraid that powerful soul masters may detect her true nature and begins avoiding attention. 97

After Tang San is taken away by Tang Hao, Xia Yuan exploits Xiao Wu's concern for him. He sends her a letter baited with Tang San's intercepted message and directs her to Sunset Forest. Believing Tang San has been captured, Xiao Wu enters the forest alone. 99

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xia Yuan disguises himself as both a black-robed captor and a wounded Tang San. Unable to defeat the apparent Soul King and convinced Tang San is about to die, Xiao Wu sacrifices herself to save him. She realizes too late that the target of her sacrifice is Xia Yuan. 100

Shrek Academy later knows only that Xiao Wu left to find Tang San and never returned. Tang Hao falsely tells Tang San that she likely returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving him unaware of her sacrifice. 102 104

Appearance

Xiao Wu appears as a beautiful girl around Xia Yuan's age, distinguished by a long scorpion braid. 6 96

• Long scorpion braid. 6
• Possesses the appearance of a human despite being a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. 97 104
• Her eyes turn blood-red when she initiates her sacrifice. 100

Personality

Xiao Wu is fierce, proud, and quick to fight when challenged or when Tang San is threatened. Her arrival at Dorm Seven and her response to the Rose Hotel confrontation both show her unwillingness to submit to stronger opponents. 6 68

She is also deeply attached to Tang San. She treats his injuries after Er Ming accidentally strikes him, worries constantly after he disappears with Tang Hao, and ultimately sacrifices herself because she believes he is in immediate danger. 78 99 100

Despite living among humans, Xiao Wu remains protective of soul beasts in certain circumstances. She objects to harming beasts unnecessarily and shows particular concern for Er Ming's safety and secrecy. 77 78

Abilities & Skills

Transformed Soul Beast Physiology

Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who assumed human form to cultivate anew. 97 104

• Before reaching the mature stage, her soul beast aura can potentially be identified by a high-level Soul Douluo and is very difficult to conceal from a Title Douluo. 97
• Her true identity allows her to sacrifice herself into a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring with absolute fusion success for the recipient. 100
• Her sacrifice includes both life and soul; after becoming Xia Yuan's soul ring, her will remains but cannot oppose him. 100

Self-Condensation of Soul Rings

Xiao Wu can condense her own soul rings without hunting another soul beast. 77 78

• She forms seals and chants while her martial soul phantom manifests behind her. 77
• She successfully condenses her third soul ring under Er Ming's protection. 77 78
• Tang San considers the feat unprecedented based on his knowledge. 78

Communication with Intelligent Soul Beasts

Xiao Wu can communicate with highly intelligent soul beasts, particularly the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming. 78

• She directs Er Ming not to harm Tang San and orders him to leave before others can see him. 78
• Er Ming follows her requests, gathers medicinal herbs and vines for Tang San's treatment, and protects her while she condenses a ring. 77 78
• She can assess a soul beast's age accurately enough to warn Meng Yiran against absorbing an overly old Man Faced Demon Spider ring. 89

Combat and Support

Xiao Wu uses close-range mobility and physical attacks in battle. 68 100

• Uses repeated Teleportation to approach Xia Yuan's disguised captor. 100
• Attempts powerful kicks against opponents threatening Tang San. 100
• Uses soul power, medicinal herbs, and woven vines to treat Tang San after he is injured by Er Ming. 78

Relationships

• Tang San — Her closest companion and the person she calls “Third Brother.” She repeatedly protects and worries over him, and sacrifices herself believing she is saving him. 68 78 99 100
• Xia Yuan — Initially her Dorm Seven rival; he repeatedly steals from her with Empty Handed, then deceives her into sacrificing herself to him. 6 9 99 100
• Er Ming (Titan Giant Ape) — A highly intelligent soul beast devoted to Xiao Wu. She can communicate with and command him, though she insists on continuing her life among humans. 77 78
• Shrek Academy students — Her disappearance leaves the academy uncertain of her fate; Zhu Zhuqing finds the letter Xiao Wu leaves behind before departing to search for Tang San. 102
