Background

Xiao Wu and his younger brother Xiao Wen were once lowly laborers at the White Family’s West Mountain Mine. Years of forced labor left Xiao Wu frail, but he accidentally unearthed a mysterious Jade Disc in the mine and obtained an inherited cultivation method from it. His cultivation then advanced at an extraordinary pace. 80

His fortune repeatedly manifests as chance encounters with money, martial manuals, medicinal treasures, and inheritances. After falling unharmed into a mountain cave, he found a deceased sword cultivator’s spirit sword and legacy, then gave both to Ji Ning because Ji Ning used the sword while Xiao Wu used a spear. 80

Han Huiwan identifies Xiao Wu’s traits—opportunities arriving on their own, turning calamity into blessing, survival against the odds, and an innate martial body—as those of a Destiny Child described in an ancient scroll. 80 The Sea-Fishing Pureheart Bell later confirms this status, judging that he may reach Divine Descent if he overcomes his destined hardships. 98

Appearance

Xiao Wu is a tall, rugged young man whose bearing contrasts sharply with his coarse mine-worker clothing. His firm gaze and naturally heroic presence make a strong impression even when he is dressed plainly. 80 99

• Rugged features and thick, blade-like brows. 80
• Firm, steady eyes and a bold, heroic air. 80
• Slightly dark skin and a lean, sturdy build. 265
• Often wears coarse linen or plain clothing despite his cultivation. 80 99

Personality

Xiao Wu is bold, open-minded, and generous in friendship. He readily accepts sincere companions, admires people who respect boundaries, and regards Shen Xiuhan, Han Li, Ji Ning, and Wang Lin as worthy brothers. 97 123

He is fiercely protective of Xiao Wen and takes responsibility for those close to him. When the Wang Family threatens Xiao Wen and Song Huatang, Xiao Wu accepts an unfavorable bargain rather than abandon them. 318

His sense of justice is uncompromising. After learning that the White Family and Sunken Sword Dock refine abducted children into human pills, he gathers evidence, rallies allies, and leads a campaign to destroy the White Family’s power. 136 147 170 He can be ruthless toward active enemies, ordering that any White Family members who resist share the perpetrators’ guilt. 170

Dragon Cavalry Army and Fate Manipulation

Xiao Wu enters the Dragon Cavalry Army with Xiao Wen and Song Huatang, placing himself beneath the Wang Family’s influence. 216 His fate repeatedly warns that advancing into Transformative Force will result in his death, so he suppresses his cultivation despite reaching Dark Force completion. 216 Unknown to him, Fool the Masses has obscured his fate sense and judgment. 190

Fishing Sea Blessed Land

Before entering the Blessed Land, Xiao Wu gives Shen Xiuhan the master Four Seas Heartlink Disc and asks him to care for Xiao Wen if he does not return. 270 The Wang Family later threatens Xiao Wen and Song Huatang, forcing Xiao Wu to break through and use the Ape God Peak Master’s Command Token to open the formation. 318 319

Wang Xuanliang immediately betrays him with the Grand Thearch Dragon-Binding Lock, and Xiao Wu is eventually trapped with Wang Xuanyang in the Profoundfire Void-Refining Cauldron. 319 321 Luo Tangyin increases the cauldron’s fire with Fusang Red Sandalwood; Xiao Wu is refined into pill liquid, leaving no body behind. 322 324 Shen Xiuhan subsequently uses his system’s Soul Return function on Xiao Wu, and later believes that it has taken effect. 327 328
