Power Progression

Background / History

Xiao Wu comes from the Star Dou Great Forest. As a soul beast living among humans, she initially fears that Tang Hao will discover her identity. He tells her privately that he already knows and puts her at ease; he does not reveal the truth to Tang San 128 429.

After the academy tournament, Xiao Wu leaves Spirit City with Tang San and Tang Hao. She accompanies Tang San during his training but stays outside Slaughter City: Tang Hao warns that the powerful soul masters inside would recognize what she is and put Tang San in danger 96 128 129. While waiting at Shrek Academy for Tang San's return, she receives a letter from Tang Hao and is distressed to learn they will remain apart longer 171 172.

In Gengxin City, Grace Hall elder Qiuniu recognizes Xiao Wu as a soul beast and introduces himself as one too. She agrees to keep their connection secret, even from Tang San, in exchange for meeting other soul beasts living in human society 429 434. She later returns to Gengxin City with Tang San and seeks out those seniors again. There she discovers that Mo Lin—the Spirit Hall member she remembers as her lifesaver—is also Grace Hall's Hall Master 567 568 569.
