Background / History

Grand Dao Internet Cafe

Xiao Wu arrives in Spirit City with Shrek Academy but is deeply uneasy under Spirit Hall’s scrutiny. When Hu Liena watches her, she instinctively steps behind Tang San, whom she remains close to throughout the visit. 10

Although Lin Chuan has explained that game deaths do not harm players in reality, Xiao Wu cannot bear to watch Tang San fight alone in an unfamiliar virtual world. She pays her own ten Gold Soul Coins and enters Black Myth: Wukong. 12

The game suppresses her Soul Power and Martial Soul by placing her in a weak monkey body. She initially finds the body frustrating, but her reflexes quickly distinguish her from other players: rather than calculating attacks as Tang San does, she instinctively bends, slides, and slips past the Little Demon’s strikes. 12

After completing three consecutive extreme evasions, Xiao Wu triggers the hidden achievement Agility Awakening and earns a roulette draw during her first session. 12

Moonshadow Linked Steps

Xiao Wu draws Gather Form, Disperse Qi · Moonshadow Linked Steps, a movement-technique insight tailored to her agility. It does not grant a Spirit Ring, raise her Soul Power, or alter the origin of her Martial Soul. 13

The technique lets her briefly displace her aura from her true position during evasions, leaving a faint moonlike afterimage. After three perfect evasions, its Linked Steps effect makes her next close-range opening attack faster. 13

Protection, Sacrifice, and Survival

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Wu obtains the Lovesick Heartbreak Red by focusing on Tang San and offering her blood. Rather than being consumed, the flower remains with her, concealing her aura and helping protect her true identity. 122

While fleeing Spirit Hall’s hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu is severely wounded and poisoned while protecting an injured Soft Bone Rabbit. She uses Teleportation, Waist Bow, and her agility to break through the encirclement until Tang San rescues her. 125

When Tang San is near death within the Dual Poles Stillness Domain, Xiao Wu chooses to sacrifice herself. She transfers her hundred-thousand-year Soul Power, Spirit Ring, and Spirit Bone to Tang San, raising him to Rank Sixty-Six. 126 127

Bai Jin preserves a minute remnant of her life force and soul with the Reverse Cursed Technique, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red’s remaining petals, and a Void Anchor. Xiao Wu survives in her Soft Bone Rabbit form, though her recovery remains uncertain and difficult. 127 128

Personality

Xiao Wu is fiercely protective of Tang San. Her first decision to use the internet cafe comes from her inability to watch him be surrounded and attacked alone, even knowing that the game cannot physically harm him. 12

Her combat mindset is instinctive and bodily rather than analytical. She often reacts before consciously processing danger, trusting balance, flexibility, and reflexes to find an escape route. 12 163

She is also proud of her own skill. When others attribute her first game reward solely to luck, she insists that she earned it through her evasions. 13

Despite her aggressive close-range style, Xiao Wu shows restraint when it matters. She carefully limits her force while eliminating Ye Lingling from the arena, treating a tactical victory differently from needless injury. 88

Abilities & Skills

Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul

Xiao Wu’s Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul supports a close-range style built around flexibility, aerial control, throws, and rapid repositioning. 109 125

• Uses Waist Bow to throw or redirect opponents, including enemies far heavier than herself. 76 108
• Uses Teleportation through her third Spirit Ring to bypass defenses and strike vulnerable targets. 168
• Employs soft, grappling-based techniques to seize joints, disrupt balance, and force opponents out of bounds. 88 131
• Can use an opponent’s force or momentum to reposition in midair. 125 132

Instinctive Evasion

Xiao Wu’s defining combat trait is exceptional natural coordination. Her body senses danger and moves before she consciously analyzes an attack. 12

• Slides beneath attacks and escapes through narrow openings rather than meeting force directly. 12
• Reads opponents’ movement habits, including the wing-folding pattern of an agility fighter, before exploiting the resulting opening. 76
• Identifies deceptive movement through environmental details, such as Chen Dragon’s reflection in the water. 163
• Learns to watch an opponent’s posture, shoulders, and breathing rather than focusing only on their weapon. 164

Gather Form, Disperse Qi · Moonshadow Linked Steps

A game-derived movement insight that improves Xiao Wu’s short-range evasions without functioning as a Soul Skill. 13

• Leaves a faint moon-shadow afterimage while briefly separating her aura from her actual position. 13
• Delays an observer’s judgment of her position by roughly half a beat. 13
• Activates Linked Steps after three consecutive perfect evasions, accelerating her next close-range opening attack. 13
• Requires gradual real-world training; it is not an instantly complete technique. 13

Team Infiltration

Xiao Wu commonly acts as Shrek’s breakthrough fighter, using speed enhancements and Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass to enter enemy rear lines. 86 160

• Eliminated Imperial Fighting Team healer Ye Lingling by bypassing Yu Feng and Dugu Yan. 88
• Used Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and Huo Wu’s Repelling Fire Ring to break into Blazing Fire Academy’s support line. 160
• Repeatedly targeted Xue Wu during Skywater Academy’s environmental-control setup, though Shui Bing’er intercepted her with Ice Seal. 168

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Lovesick Heartbreak Red — Recognized Xiao Wu’s feelings for Tang San; remains unconsumed, conceals her aura, and helps protect her identity. 122
• Wrist crossbow — Regular practice leaves a faint pressure mark on her right wrist, a personal detail Tang San uses to expose Shi Nian’s false illusion of her. 155
• Wooden and game-world staffs — Used during internet-cafe challenges, where her normal Martial Soul and Soul Power may be suppressed. 12 136

Relationships

• Tang San — Her closest companion and the person she repeatedly protects. She enters the game because she cannot watch him fight alone, and later sacrifices herself to save his life. 12 127
• Bai Jin — Treats Xiao Wu’s poison wound during Spirit Hall’s hunt, then preserves her remaining life force after her sacrifice. 125 127
• Ning Rongrong — Teammate whose speed enhancements repeatedly enable Xiao Wu’s breakthrough attacks; they coordinate closely in arena battles and game challenges. 88 132 141
• Ma Hongjun — Shrek teammate and frequent sparring partner in team tactics; his fire often opens or protects Xiao Wu’s movement routes. 86 160
• Dugu Yan — Rival turned respectful opponent. Xiao Wu defeats her at the arena boundary and breaks through during the same exchange. 132
• Hu Liena — Spirit Hall rival who recognizes that Xiao Wu’s evasive style is instinct-driven rather than calculated. 12
