Background
Xue Wu is a distant collateral descendant of the Heaven Dou imperial family. Her branch's status had declined over generations from a count's line to a hereditary barony without a fief, leaving her family little better off than common soul masters despite the imperial surname. 42
She studied in Tianshui Academy's advanced class and regularly trained a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Bing'er. Their fusion connection is regarded as a bond closer than ordinary sisterhood, and Xue Wu's absence from the academy during the Whale Glue distribution was treated as a significant missed opportunity. 20
After Shui Qinghan summoned her to discuss Jiang Lan, Xue Wu agreed to become his concubine. In return, Shui Qinghan promised cultivation resources, including Whale Glue, Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, and academy support intended to help her reach the Title Douluo realm. 42
Xue Wu later joined Jiang Lan, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er in the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Cave for cultivation. She accepted a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, endured its severe side effects, and completed low-grade Ice-Fire Body Tempering within the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal Mine. 44 45 46
After recovering from the tempering process, Xue Wu became increasingly open in her pursuit of Jiang Lan. She attributed her feelings partly to the emotional resonance created by her Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Bing'er, and Jiang Lan ultimately accepted her wish to join his relationship with Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. 48 49
While Shui Qinghan accompanied Shui Yue'er on a soul-beast hunt, Xue Wu cultivated with Jiang Lan and Shui Bing'er in the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Cave. The three later continued cultivating together, with Xue Wu receiving an approximately twenty-percent increase in cultivation speed while near Jiang Lan. 50 60
Xue Wu subsequently participated in Dragon City's Great Soul Arena as Shui Bing'er's partner on the Ice-Snow Team. She also fought with the Tianshui Academy team during the exchange with Blazing Fire Academy, where her weather-manipulation skills supplied water-elemental conditions despite the opponent's fire-dominated arena. 51 56 80
Before traveling with the academy team to Blazing Fire City, Xue Wu returned home to tell her parents about her chosen marriage, hoping to forestall a political marriage arranged on her behalf. During the exchange with Blazing Fire Academy, she supported Tianshui from the rear with clouds and rain. She and Jiang Lan later withdrew from the friendly team battle as Tianshui yielded rather than press its advantage. 76 80 82
In a subsequent team match against Godwind Academy, Shui Bing'er assigned teammates to hold off their opponents while Xue Wu prepared her weather skill. Enhanced by Jiang Lan's third soul skill, her clouds and downpour covered much of the training ground. She later reached Rank 32 after absorbing a 3,700-year third soul ring. 96 97 115
Appearance
Xue Wu is a tall, athletic-looking young woman with short grayish-blue hair, delicate features, and a notably heroic air. Her androgynous clothing gives her a tomboyish appearance, though it does not conceal her mature figure. 20 41
- Short grayish-blue hair. 20 41
- Tall stature and graceful, well-developed build. 20 41
- Usually wears androgynous attire. 20
- Delicate features paired with an unusually spirited, heroic presence. 20 41
Personality
Xue Wu is direct and pragmatic. When Shui Qinghan proposed that she join Jiang Lan's household, she quickly weighed his character, talent, and the resources being offered, then accepted without hesitation. 42
She is ambitious about cultivation and openly regretted obtaining her second soul ring before she could benefit from Whale Glue. After learning Jiang Lan had reached Rank 29, she became more determined to gain his favor and secure her place within the group. 20 44
Despite her confidence, she is capable of embarrassment and remorse. Once the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue's effects had been suppressed and she regained clarity, she was apologetic over her behavior while unconscious. 46
Xue Wu is bold and persistent in romance. She actively courted Jiang Lan, arguing that her fusion bond with Shui Bing'er would eventually lead her to share Bing'er's feelings and that Jiang Lan was the best possible battle-soul-master partner for an auxiliary soul master. 48 49
She is also highly motivated by the prospect of gaining combat strength. Jiang Lan's suggestion that her Martial Soul could evolve into Ultimate Ice-Snow and potentially gain offensive capabilities greatly strengthened her resolve to reach Rank 30. 54 55
Xue Wu also asserted her independence in family matters by choosing to inform her parents of her marriage decision before they could arrange a political match for her. 76
Abilities & Skills
Martial Soul Fusion Skill
Xue Wu possesses a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Bing'er. Their connection makes them exceptionally close partners and is a central reason Shui Qinghan believed Shui Bing'er would be able to accept Xue Wu's place beside Jiang Lan. 20 42
- The fusion skill's name and exact effects have not been disclosed.
- Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er regularly practiced the skill before Xue Wu joined the Far North cultivation group. 42
- The fusion bond permits emotional influence between the pair. Because Shui Bing'er takes the leading role in the fusion, her feelings can gradually affect Xue Wu's feelings and attachments. 45 49
Auxiliary Soul Skills
Xue Wu is an auxiliary-type soul master whose first two known soul skills are Dark Cloud and Rainfall. Together, they can establish an environment favorable to Jiang Lan regardless of location. Her third soul skill is Ice-Snow. 42 115
- Dark Cloud — Creates a clouded area that gathers water-elemental conditions for allied water- and ice-attribute soul masters. Its range is diminished in areas with scarce water elements. 42 80
- Rainfall — Produces rain that supplements the battlefield's water supply and can strengthen the effects of allied ice- and water-attribute techniques. 42 56 80
- Ice-Snow — Her third soul skill, chosen chiefly to coordinate with Shui Bing'er and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Its precise effects have not been described. 115
- Her skills complement the group's composition: Jiang Lan serves as the power-attack core, Shui Bing'er as control, Shui Yue'er as agility attack, and Xue Wu as support. 42
- As an auxiliary soul master, Xue Wu does not participate in one-on-one Soul Fights. 52
- Her rain-based support combines effectively with Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal, enabling the Ice-Snow Team to defeat the Ice Wolf Team. 56
- Her Rainfall also combines with Jiang Lan's water-control talent to form the Raging Waves Combo: Jiang Lan turns the falling rain into powerful waves before it reaches the ground, sweeping away opponents. 57
- In Blazing Fire Academy's fire-dominated environment, her clouds and rain had reduced range, and the opponents' flames evaporated much of the rainfall. The resulting moisture nevertheless replenished some water elements for Tianshui's skills. 80
- During the Godwind Academy match, Jiang Lan's third soul skill doubled the range of her weather skills. Her Dark Cloud nearly covered the training ground, and her torrential rain turned it into a watery expanse. 97
Ice-Fire Body Tempering
Xue Wu refined Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue while enduring the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal Mine's frigid currents, completing a low-grade Ice-Fire Body Tempering process. 46
- Raised her soul power from Rank 25 to Rank 27. 46
- Strengthened her physique and widened her meridians. 46
- Increased the age limit of soul rings she could endure by at least five to six hundred years. 46
- Because of her auxiliary-system physique, consuming Thousand-Year and Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue increased her overall soul-ring endurance limit by only about two thousand years. She later absorbed a 3,700-year third ring. 115
Martial Soul Evolution Potential
Jiang Lan believes Xue Wu can follow the path of Ultimate Ice-Snow after reaching Rank 30 and absorbing Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. 54 55
- Ultimate Ice-Snow would potentially grant her control over wind and snow and may allow her to attain combat strength comparable to that of a battle soul master. 54
- Her proposed future path includes absorbing the Snow Empress's soul ring and soul bone, as well as potentially inheriting techniques such as the Snow Empress Three Absolutes. 54 55
- Although Xue Wu has reached Rank 32, her proposed evolution into Ultimate Ice-Snow has not been confirmed to have occurred. 54 55 115
Items and Cultivation Resources
- Whale Glue — Xue Wu had consumed a piece before accepting Shui Qinghan's proposal and swore a martial soul oath not to disclose its secret. 42
- Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue — Given to her by Shui Qinghan and refined through Ice-Fire Body Tempering; the piece was approximately thirty thousand years in quality. Her consumption of Thousand-Year and Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue ultimately increased her soul-ring endurance limit by about two thousand years. 44 45 46 115
- Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow — Promised by Shui Qinghan to support her cultivation, improve her ice-attribute martial soul, and aid her path toward Title Douluo. It is also intended to support her potential evolution into Ultimate Ice-Snow after she reaches Rank 30. 42 54 55
- Third soul ring — A 3,700-year ring that granted Ice-Snow and raised her soul power from Rank 30 to Rank 32. 115
Relationships
- Jiang Lan — Junior brother and intended husband; Xue Wu agreed to become his concubine after recognizing his character, talent, and future potential. She later openly pursued him and was accepted as a partner in his relationship with Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. Their Raging Waves Combo also makes them effective battle partners. 42 44 48 49 57
- Shui Bing'er — Martial Soul Fusion Skill partner. Their bond is described as closer than that of ordinary biological sisters, and Shui Bing'er was especially happy when Xue Wu joined the cultivation group. Their fusion connection also allows Shui Bing'er's emotions to influence Xue Wu. Xue Wu's third soul skill was selected chiefly to coordinate with Bing'er and their fusion skill. 20 44 45 49 115
- Shui Yue'er — Fellow Tianshui Academy student and co-cultivator in the Far North; they underwent Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue refinement at the same time. Xue Wu later supported Shui Yue'er during their Great Soul Arena matches and fought alongside her in academy exchanges. Yue'er also redirected her Water Clones to intercept opponents targeting Xue Wu in the Blazing Fire team battle. 44 45 46 51 80
- Shui Qinghan — Headmistress and patron who recruited Xue Wu into Jiang Lan's household and offered extensive cultivation resources and academy support. Shui Qinghan also promised to pass on the means to improve Xue Wu's chances of reaching the Title Douluo realm once she reached Rank 89. 41 42 62
