Background / History

Xiao Xiao is a quiet Class One student at Shrek Academy whose low-key nature causes her to be overlooked under Zhou Yi's teaching style. Huo Chen identifies her as a dependable, grounded student rather than a flashy “monster,” and immediately recognizes the value of her twin martial souls 11 43.

After replacing Zhou Yi as Class One's homeroom teacher, Huo Chen calls Xiao Xiao to his office and corrects her belief that her talent is poor. He explains that her issue is not talent, but an unsuitable cultivation method: her defensive cauldron martial soul and soundwave flute martial soul require different development paths. He gives her a personalized training plan and begins guiding her personally 11.

During the freshman assessment, Xiao Xiao fights on Huo Yuhao's team alongside Wang Dong. She provides stable support, improves her soundwave control, and helps disrupt Ning Tian's boosting rhythm and Cui Yajie's illusions during the Class One final 21 23.

Later, Xiao Xiao reaches level 30 and consults Huo Chen about her third soul ring. He gives her the essence of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to purify her foundation and enhance her Three-Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron, then personally takes her to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear 43 44.

After absorbing the bear's soul ring, Xiao Xiao advances to rank 38 and gains an external spirit bone. Huo Chen helps her refine it in a private cultivation room, where she unlocks Dark Gold Terrorclaws and tests her third soul skill, Cauldron Suppresses Dark Gold 44 45.

By the time her cultivation reaches rank 43, Xiao Xiao has obtained a fourth ten-thousand-year soul ring with Huo Chen's help. Her defensive strength becomes high enough for the Three-Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron to withstand an ordinary Soul Emperor's full-force attack 52.

Following this growth, Xiao Xiao becomes the defensive core of Shrek Academy's seven-member Outer Court team. She helps the team earn the Shrek Seven Monsters title and later represents Shrek in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament 64 65 66 67.

Appearance

Xiao Xiao is initially described as a short black-haired, round-faced girl with clear bright eyes and a gentle, well-behaved bearing 11. In later appearances, she has long dark green hair and pale green almond-shaped eyes 44 45 52.

When leaving with Huo Chen to hunt her third soul ring, she wears a neat dark green martial outfit and braids her hair into two plaits tipped with silver phoenix-patterned ornaments 44.

• Initially has short black hair and a round face 11.
• Later has long dark green hair, often worn in two braids 44 52.
• Pale green almond-shaped eyes in later appearances 44 45.
• Delicate oval face with lingering baby fat 44.
• Silver phoenix-patterned hair ornaments at the ends of her braids 44 45 52.
• Gentle, polite bearing 11 43 44.

Personality

Xiao Xiao is gentle, quiet, and introverted. She does not seek attention, complain, or show off, instead completing training steadily from the background 11 43.

She is diligent and thoughtful about cultivation. When preparing for her third soul ring, she refuses to hunt casually and instead wants a soul beast that properly enhances the defensive and soul-calming qualities of her Three-Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron 43.

Xiao Xiao also continues independently practicing and refining her Nine-Phoenix Flute control after regular training, accepting Huo Chen's critique that her tonal transitions need to become smoother 27.

Despite her softness, Xiao Xiao shows courage and empathy. When ordered to finish the subdued Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, she looks into its eyes, sees its rage and despair, and apologizes before killing it for her soul ring 44.

In combat, Xiao Xiao is composed and defensive-minded. She can patiently sustain her cauldron's defenses in a battle of attrition, decisively concede when her soul power is exhausted, and react quickly to protect vulnerable teammates 66 75.

Her feelings toward Huo Chen gradually become more open. She blushes during personal moments, asks for his guidance often, kisses him on the cheek after her breakthrough, and later asks whether he can still pat her head the next time he takes her soul hunting 43 45 52.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Dark Gold Terrorclaws

• Fused into her right arm as an external spirit bone 45.
• Greatly increases the power of her right arm 45.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Class One Under Huo Chen

Xiao Xiao's main early role is as one of the students most directly changed by Huo Chen's teaching reforms. He identifies her neglected potential, corrects her cultivation direction, and gives her confidence in her twin martial souls 11.

Freshman Assessment

Xiao Xiao serves as the stable support member of Huo Yuhao's team. Her performance highlights her reliability, while Huo Chen identifies reaction speed against high-speed opponents as an area for improvement 21.

In the Class One final, Xiao Xiao's soundwave control becomes crucial. She disrupts Ning Tian's support rhythm and collapses Cui Yajie's illusion by striking her position through the mist 23.

Third Soul Ring and External Spirit Bone

After reaching level 30, Xiao Xiao receives the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid essence from Huo Chen and travels with him to the Star Dou Great Forest. She absorbs a ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring, advances eight levels, and later refines its external spirit bone 43 44 45.

Later Growth

Xiao Xiao continues advancing steadily. After reaching level 40, she obtains another ten-thousand-year soul ring with Huo Chen's help, reaching rank 43 and developing Soul Emperor-level defensive capability through her enhanced cauldron and external soul bone 52.

Shrek Seven Monsters Selection

Xiao Xiao is selected as the defense-type bulwark of Shrek's seven-member Outer Court team. Her Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear-enhanced cauldron protects the formation, creates openings through Cauldron Suppresses Dark Gold, and shields teammates from sudden attacks 64 65 66.

During the decisive selection matches, Xiao Xiao intercepts an assassin's attack on Ning Tian with her cauldron and activates her fourth ten-thousand-year soul ring to repel the attacker with powerful soul-calming force. Her team ultimately secures the Shrek Seven Monsters title 66.

Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament

Xiao Xiao represents Shrek Academy's Outer Court team in the Continental Tournament. She anchors the central formation in the opening melee, using Cauldron Suppresses Dark Gold to disrupt opposing defensive lines and support Tang Ya's coordinated attacks 65 67.

Against Star Luo Royal Academy, she faces Xu Jiujiu in a relay match. Xiao Xiao employs a defensive battle-of-attrition strategy, but concedes once Xu Jiujiu's Starfall Technique breaks through the cauldron's defense 75.

In the quarterfinal 2+2+2 battles, Xiao Xiao pairs with Wang Dong'er against Ma Rulong and Lin Xi. Despite being pressured by Ma Rulong's combat ability and Lin Xi's defensive Soul Tools, the pair secures victory, helping Shrek advance to the top four 78.

During the later Shrek civil-war final against the Inner Academy team, Xiao Xiao's cauldron suffers accumulating damage from Ling Luocheng's Primordial Ice. Ling Luocheng ultimately targets a crack with Ice Seal Break, piercing Xiao Xiao's defense and eliminating her from the match 79.
