Appearance

Xiao Xiao is a still-developing girl who stood roughly half a head taller than Bai Ran during their race. She is regarded as a budding beauty among Freshman Class Nine. 64 123

• Possesses enough endurance to rank first in a physical test arranged by Zhou Yi. 64
• Has a bold side around people she trusts, including touching Bai Ran’s arm out of curiosity about his physique. 88

Personality

Initially, Xiao Xiao is obedient and deeply wary of Zhou Yi’s authority. After being chosen for the race, she fears that losing will bring expulsion or retaliation, and she pushes herself past exhaustion largely to avoid her teacher’s anger. 67 68

Her transfer to Freshman Class Nine changes her outlook. Accepted by Bai Ran, Huo Yuhao, and Mu Jin, she gradually stops treating Zhou Yi as someone she must obey and publicly dismisses her as irrelevant. 70 71 She is observant and practical, taking responsibility for gathering intelligence on tournament opponents. 119

Xiao Xiao can also be blunt with friends. She confronts Bai Ran after realizing he deliberately held back in their race and calls him selfish for using her as part of his scheme to humiliate Zhou Yi. 74

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Xiao Xiao possesses Twin Martial Souls, a talent Director Du Weilun considers exceptionally rare. Unlike many Twin Martial Soul users, she has already attached a Soul Ring to her second Martial Soul. 65 70

• Her primary Martial Soul is the Three-Life Soul-Calming Cauldron.
• Her secondary Martial Soul is the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute. 89
• She normally does not reveal or use the flute in ordinary combat. 89

Three-Life Soul-Calming Cauldron

Her cauldron can attack, defend, and control the field. It is primarily used to ram opponents, inflict damage, and stun targets on impact. 89

• Xiao Cauldron Fusion — A control skill used in tandem with Huo Yuhao’s Mental Deterrence. 91 102
• Cauldron Shock — A fixed-damage soul skill. 118
• When its three cauldrons merge, its defensive strength and weight increase substantially. 118
• Bai Ran advises her to use the merged cauldron as a variable-force blunt weapon, allowing her to adjust the power of an attack through Soul Power expenditure rather than relying only on fixed skills. 118

Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute

The flute provides support and control rather than direct offense. 89

• Slowdown — Her first flute skill, obtained from a Hundred-Year Soul Ring; reduces a target’s speed by 20%. 65
• Applied the effect through a seemingly ordinary handshake before the race against Bai Ran, exploiting the rule that prohibited Soul Power only during the race. 65
• The skill has little effect against opponents with an overwhelming Soul Power advantage, as shown when it failed to meaningfully impede Ma Xiaotao. 92

Support Philosophy

Xiao Xiao identifies herself as a support-type Soul Master, but she defines support as weakening enemies rather than strengthening allies. 89

• Combines battlefield control, stuns, and debuffs to create openings for teammates.
• Forms a dual-control combination with Huo Yuhao, pairing his Soul Shock and Mental Deterrence with her cauldron skills. 91 102
• Her team’s major weakness is limited offensive power; Bai Ran specifically notes that her and Huo Yuhao’s control alone may not be enough against stronger opponents. 117

Background

First Freshman Class

Xiao Xiao began at Shrek Academy in Zhou Yi’s First Freshman Class. Zhou Yi selected her to represent the class against Bai Ran because she had achieved first place in a physical test, possessed Twin Martial Souls, and had already placed a ring on her secondary Martial Soul. 64 65

Before their lap-running contest, Xiao Xiao secretly used Slowdown on Bai Ran through a handshake. Although she gained an early lead, Bai Ran’s superior physique eventually allowed him to overtake and lap her. 65 67 68

Zhou Yi abandoned her after the loss, ignoring her exhaustion and treating the defeat as grounds to discard her. Xiao Xiao was subsequently expelled from First Freshman Class. 68 69

Transfer to Freshman Class Nine

Bai Ran and Huo Yuhao approached Xiao Xiao after her expulsion and offered to help her transfer rather than leave Shrek Academy. Bai Ran took her to the Academic Affairs Office, where Du Weilun immediately approved the move after recognizing her as a Twin Martial Soul genius. 69 70

She formally joined Freshman Class Nine, becoming the third member of its “iron triangle” alongside Bai Ran and Huo Yuhao. 71 The more supportive atmosphere gives her the confidence to reject Zhou Yi’s intimidation when they meet again. 71

Freshman Tournament

Xiao Xiao joins Bai Ran and Huo Yuhao for the Freshman Tournament. As the team’s support-controller, she explains both of her Martial Souls and works with Huo Yuhao to improve their coordination. 89

During training, her crowd control combines with Huo Yuhao’s mental attacks, though Bai Ran proves almost entirely resistant to their joint effort. 91 When Ma Xiaotao attacks the trio near Sea God Lake, Xiao Xiao attempts to slow the Soul Emperor, but the disparity in strength renders her skill nearly ineffective. She and Huo Yuhao later seek help after Bai Ran draws Ma Xiaotao away. 92 94

Relationships

• Bai Ran — Teammate and benefactor who helps secure her transfer to Freshman Class Nine; she later challenges him for having used their race to toy with Zhou Yi at her expense. 69 70 74
• Huo Yuhao — Fellow member of Freshman Class Nine’s iron triangle and dual-control partner; she later hints at personal interest in him, which he fails to notice. 89 123
• Zhou Yi — Former homeroom teacher who uses Xiao Xiao in a wager against Bai Ran, abandons her after the loss, and expels her from First Freshman Class. 64 68 69
• Mu Jin — New homeroom teacher in Freshman Class Nine; welcomes Xiao Xiao after her transfer and provides a more supportive class environment. 70 71
• Tang Wutong — Bai Ran’s hidden companion; indirectly affects Xiao Xiao’s early rivalry with Bai Ran, as Bai Ran refuses Tang Wutong’s help during the race to avoid violating its rules. 67

Trivia

• Xiao Xiao comes from a merchant family and receives an allowance of 1,000 Gold Soul Coins each month. 71
• She offers to treat Bai Ran, Huo Yuhao, and eventually their entire class to ice cream and soda after joining Freshman Class Nine. 71
• Bai Ran’s advice leads her to reconsider the Three-Life Soul-Calming Cauldron as an adaptable offensive weapon rather than a Martial Soul used only through established skills. 118
