Background

Xu Huxiao retains martial-arts knowledge from a previous life but initially lacks real combat experience. He uses this knowledge to cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from childhood, including nourishing his body before birth with Yang Origin Soul Power. This produces unusually large Soul Power reserves, rapid physical growth, and an exceptional foundation for body tempering. 15 20 149

His relationship with Xu Bayan becomes deeply personal after learning that his father sacrificed a Soul Bone and severely injured himself to save him. Xu Huxiao resolves to restore Xu Bayan’s severed leg and return him to full strength. 10

Sword Douluo Chen Xin discovers Xu Huxiao’s early Palm Force and seeks to accept him as a disciple. Xu Huxiao refuses a formal apprenticeship because he intends to pursue Bibi Dong as his true master, but he preserves Chen Xin’s goodwill and gains him as an informal mentor. 9 10

Xu Huxiao’s ultimate ambition is godhood. He studies routes to the Sea God and Asura God inheritances, while also seeking a personal path beyond conventional Martial Souls, Soul Skills, bloodlines, and divine inheritances. 10

Appearance

Xu Huxiao is a blond-haired, black-eyed youth whose calm gaze and controlled movements often make opponents feel as though they have been targeted by a dangerous beast. 29 33

• Golden-blond hair; often seen in academy uniforms or training clothes. 29
• Black eyes and a notably composed expression in combat. 33
• His original Twin Arms Martial Soul manifests as platinum arms covered in dark dragon patterns. 33
• After his Martial Soul evolution, golden dragon scales and claws extend across both arms and legs, turning all four limbs into weapons. 241 254
• Uses the Tortoise Breath Skill and Bone Shrinking Skill to alter his appearance, physique, and apparent Soul Power for disguised identities. 83

Personality

Xu Huxiao is intensely ambitious, pragmatic, and disciplined. He treats strength as the foundation of safety, agency, and influence, planning years ahead for Soul Rings, divine inheritances, political alliances, and potential threats. 10 82 271

He deliberately hides most of his abilities unless revealing them serves a strategic purpose. Even when drawing Bibi Dong’s attention or establishing his public reputation, he selects only a limited portion of his strength to display. 86 108

In battle, he is direct, calm, and often bluntly honest. His assessment of Xue Long as “Very weak” reflects his intolerance for empty talk, overconfidence, and poor execution. 29

Despite his calculating nature, Xu Huxiao is protective of those close to him. He defends Hu Liena and Bao Jingjing from bullies, protects Hu Liena’s dignity during Snake Demon possession, supports Hua Yuerong’s succession, and consistently prioritizes the safety of his allies. 33 65 268

Abilities & Skills

Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms

Xu Huxiao’s principal martial art is an unusually evolved version of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Its palm force incorporates Soul Power, Inner Force, spiritual power, Martial Dao Intent, and dragon attributes. 9 163 242

• Produces dragon-shaped force and techniques such as Golden Dragon Palm, Revisiting the Dragon, Twin Dragons Fetch Water, and Divine Dragon Wags Its Tail. 65 86

Bloodline Dragon Banner
