Appearance

Xu Xiaoyan is seen wearing a blue, gemstone-adorned dress likened to a star-filled sky when she goes out with Su Yu and Gu Yue. 117

• Uses an Ice Staff Martial Soul adorned with ice crystals and faint starlight. 95
• At night, her staff mutates into the stronger Starwheel Ice Staff. 95

Personality

Xu Xiaoyan is upbeat, determined, and eager to prove herself. When Wu Zhangkong warns that Class Zero membership must be earned, she accepts the challenge without resentment and vows to work hard. 60

She is affectionate and openly seeks Su Yu’s attention, such as asking him to pat her head after defeating a Shrek student. 100 Her attachment also makes her jealous and suspicious of Su Yu’s closeness with Tang Wulin; despite recognizing that Su Yu treats her like a younger sister, she refuses to give up on her feelings. 109 128

Though she can become frightened in dangerous situations, Xiaoyan continues supporting her teammates with precise control skills rather than retreating. 93 94

Abilities & Skills

Ice Staff / Starwheel Ice Staff

Xu Xiaoyan’s Martial Soul is an Ice Staff during the day. At night, it receives the stars’ blessing and mutates into the Starwheel Ice Staff, greatly enhancing her control abilities. Cai Lao identifies it as a rare or lost Xu Family lineage. 95

• Her strongest Martial Soul abilities were initially restricted to nighttime. 95 102
• She later begins manifesting Starwheel power during the day through sheer willpower. 109 120
• Her three Soul Rings are two yellow and one purple. 95

Starry Brilliance

Starry Brilliance summons starlight that transforms into restraining chains, immobilizing targets and interrupting their control of Soul Power and Martial Souls. 93 100 120

• Briefly restrains the Earth Demon Rhinoceros, creating an opening for Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Claw. 93
• Holds a fast dagger-wielding opponent in place long enough for Steelix’s Hyper Beam to strike. 100
• Binds Luo Guixing before he can complete Spatial Imprisonment. 120
• Immobilizes Xu Yucheng so Gu Yue can eliminate him with a Six-Colored Flower. 120
• Initially depends on the nighttime Starwheel Ice Staff, though Xiaoyan later uses it in daylight. 102 109 120

Blizzard

Blizzard is a self-created Ice-type Soul Skill that creates an area-of-effect storm of wind, snow, hail, and ice. 95

• Power: 110. 95
• Requires no activated Soul Ring, demonstrating Xiaoyan’s comprehension of self-created Soul Skills. 95
• Can be combined with Gu Yue’s elemental control for a stronger group blizzard. 139
• Its effect can be disrupted by powerful mental interference, such as Duanhun Xiao’s Demonic Sound Piercing Ears. 139

Steelix

Xu Xiaoyan can summon Steelix as a Pokémon Soul Spirit. 100

• Uses Hyper Beam as a decisive finishing attack. 100
• Works especially well with Starry Brilliance, which prevents targets from evading Steelix’s charged attack. 100

Story Role / Major Arcs

Joining Class Zero

Xu Xiaoyan joins Eastsea Academy’s Class Zero as its newest student. Xie Xie introduces her to Su Yu, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue, while Wu Zhangkong makes clear that she must demonstrate the potential to remain in the class. She responds enthusiastically and commits herself to proving her worth. 60

While watching Class Zero defeat Class Two, she is inspired by the team’s strength and resolves to train harder. 62

Shrek Academy Entrance Examination

During Shrek’s second entrance test, Xiaoyan uses Starry Brilliance to restrain the Earth Demon Rhinoceros, enabling Tang Wulin to destroy its horn and finish the creature. Zhuo Shi awards her ten points for the trial. 93

She is frightened during the guillotine trial, so Su Yu carries her through the gates while coordinating the team’s escape. 94 In the fourth trial, she demonstrates Blizzard and explains the night-dependent mutation of her Starwheel Ice Staff. 95

Assessment Record	Score	Notes
Second trial	10 points	Awarded after helping restrain the Earth Demon Rhinoceros. 93
Total after the fifth trial	38 points	Receives full marks in the eating trial alongside the rest of the group. 97

Class-Monitor Selection

Xiaoyan chooses to remain with Su Yu during preparation for the class-monitor free-for-all, trusting his strength despite his refusal to compete for the position. 118

During the simulated battlefield, she and Gu Yue become targets of a thirteen-person alliance. Xiaoyan’s newly reliable daytime Starry Brilliance disables both Luo Guixing and Xu Yucheng at critical moments, allowing the pair to escape and eliminate Xu Yucheng. 119 120

First-Year vs. Second-Year Battle

Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue combine their powers to create Blizzard against the second-year team. When Duanhun Xiao’s spiritual sound attack disrupts their concentration, Xiaoyan still recovers enough to restrain He Xiaopeng with Starry Brilliance and create an opening for Gu Yue’s Three-Colored Flower. 139

Relationships

• Su Yu — Class Zero teammate and the subject of Xiaoyan’s romantic interest. She seeks his affection, becomes jealous over his closeness with Tang Wulin, and resolves not to abandon her feelings despite believing he views her as a younger sister. 100 109 128
• Gu Yue — Classmate, close combat partner, and romantic rival for Su Yu’s attention. They combine Starry Brilliance with Gu Yue’s elemental attacks during the Shrek selection battle. 109 120
• Tang Wulin — Class Zero teammate. Xiaoyan supports his attacks through Starry Brilliance and later interrogates him after he falsely claims that Su Yu confessed romantic feelings for him. 93 109
• Xie Xie — Class Zero teammate who welcomes her when she first joins the class. 60
• Wu Zhangkong — Her demanding Class Zero teacher, who requires her to prove she deserves a place in the class. 60
• Steelix — Her Pokémon Soul Spirit and Hyper Beam partner. 100
