Story Role / Major Arcs
Arrival at Notting Academy
Xiao Wu arrives at Notting Academy alongside Tang San. Wang Sheng identifies Qi Dao as the academy's “boss,” while Xiao Wu becomes curious about the student who became powerful despite being born with only half-rank innate soul power. 19 20
Challenge to Qi Dao
After returning from leave with her first hundred-year spirit ring, Xiao Wu challenges Qi Dao at the academy's back mountain. She initially believes their apparent level gap is small enough for her soft skills to overcome. 22
Qi Dao blocks her attacks with his scabbard, counters her movements precisely, and defeats her after she activates Waist Bow. The final scabbard strike sends her flying several meters, leaving her bruised and in pain. 22 23
Tang San's Intervention
Tang San arrives after Xiao Wu is defeated and, angered by her injury, challenges Qi Dao on her behalf. Xiao Wu attempts to stop him, saying they can reclaim their pride later, but Tang San proceeds with the duel. 23
