Background / History

Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who transformed into human form. She had cultivated by absorbing the Skydream Iceworm's spiritual energy in the Star Dou Great Forest, though she initially did not recognize him after his sacrifice to Xu Linjiu. Her transformation was rushed, contributing to her outwardly innocent and inexperienced demeanor despite her true age. 4 34

When she entered Notting Academy, Skydream Iceworm concealed her soul beast aura from Tang Hao. Without this protection, Xu Linjiu states that Tang Hao would have detected her on her first day at the academy. 4 34

Yu Xiaogang repeatedly attempted to recruit Xiao Wu after failing to take Tang San as a disciple, approaching her in the cafeteria, during the opening ceremony, and at the work-study dormitory. She repeatedly rejected him. 9

Xiao Wu joined Xu Linjiu's training alongside Tang San. Their regimen included gravity-assisted distance running, physical conditioning through refined whale glue, and nightly one-on-one combat practice. 11 12 13

After Xu Linjiu confronted her with knowledge of her true identity, Xiao Wu initially attempted to escape. He explained that he regarded her as his student rather than a source of soul rings or soul bones, then offered a contract capable of sealing her aura, accelerating cultivation, and granting special skills. Xiao Wu accepted and became his contract partner. 34

Appearance

Xiao Wu is portrayed as a small girl with large eyes and a distinctive long scorpion braid. 12 30

• Long scorpion braid that she uses during combat. 12 13
• Commonly carries herself with energetic, skipping movements. 11 12
• Her rabbit martial soul grants her exceptional leg strength and jumping ability. 13

Personality

Xiao Wu is spirited, playful, and stubborn. She calls Xu Linjiu “Uncle” despite Tang San's repeated insistence that she address him respectfully as “Teacher Xu,” and she readily asserts her status as the boss of Seventh Dormitory. 12 13

She is confident in her combat ability and quick to take offense at insults. Ma Hongjun's lewd remarks immediately provoke her into attempting to attack him, while Yu Xiaogang's claims are met with open disdain. 9 27

Despite her bravado, Xiao Wu becomes frightened and distrustful when Xu Linjiu reveals that he knows she is a transformed soul beast. She ultimately accepts his help after learning that he had protected her aura and after seeing the trust Skydream Iceworm placed in him. 34

Equipment / Companions

Relationships

• Skydream Iceworm — A former source of spiritual energy during her soul beast years. It concealed her aura at Notting Academy and later helps convince her that Xu Linjiu can be trusted. 4 34
• Luo Sanpao — Her pet after Xu Linjiu frees it from Yu Xiaogang and places it in her care. 30
• Yu Xiaogang — An unwanted pursuer who repeatedly tries to take her as a disciple and is openly despised by her. 9

Story Role / Major Arcs

Notting Academy

Xiao Wu is introduced as a work-study student repeatedly harassed by Yu Xiaogang. She supports Tang San and Xu Linjiu during their confrontation with him, openly ridiculing Yu Xiaogang's claim that a ten-year soul ring could rival a hundred-year soul ring. 9

Xu Linjiu's Training

She chooses to train with Tang San under Xu Linjiu. Although she initially dismisses a ten-kilometer run as easy, she endures double-gravity training and benefits from Misty Terrain, Potions, and refined whale glue. 11 12 13

Rivalry with Tang San

Xiao Wu initially dominates Tang San in close combat, using Waist Bow, leg locks, and her scorpion braid to immobilize him. Tang San eventually escapes by entangling them both with Blue Scale Silver Pattern Grass and detonating Seed Bombs, leaving Xiao Wu angry at his unconventional tactics. 13 14

Contracting with Xu Linjiu

Xu Linjiu reveals that he knows Xiao Wu is a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast. After confirming that Skydream Iceworm had concealed her from Tang Hao and explaining the contract's protections, he gains her consent to form a permanent contract with her. 34
