Power Progression

Background and History

Xiao Wu lost her mother before arriving at Nuoding Academy. Drawn to the Lunar Jade Rabbit aura concealed within Su Chen, she finds unusual comfort and security around him; after Tang Hao’s presence disappears, she repeatedly seeks him out while he cultivates by moonlight. 14 16

At Nuoding, she is initially expected to defend the work-study students against Xiao Chenyu’s noble faction. Instead, she becomes immediately fascinated with Su Chen, sniffs his scent, and persistently follows him to learn about his Martial Soul. 7 Her Innate Full Soul Power earns her a transfer to Dorm One, where she moves specifically to be closer to him. 9

Her attachment to Su Chen puts her at odds with Tang San. She rejects his attempts to discredit Su Chen, later makes clear that she never returned Tang San’s feelings, and warns him that continued interference will end even their friendship. 9 40

After Su Chen is taken away from Nuoding, Xiao Wu eventually attends Shrek Academy because she does not know where else to find him. Their reunion in Soul Hunting Town reignites Tang San’s jealousy and leads Xiao Wu to openly declare Su Chen as the person she loves. 39 40

During the Titan Giant Ape incident, Xiao Wu reveals that she is a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. Su Chen accepts her identity and gives her the Lovesick Heartbreak Red; after her blood proves her love is genuine, she consumes the herb, becomes fully human, and advances to Soul Ancestor. 46

When Tang Hao later tries to take Xiao Wu from Su Chen’s group, she refuses to go with him. After Su Chen drives Tang Hao away at great cost to himself, she carries Su Chen back for treatment. She subsequently joins the other women in caring for him and celebrating his recovery. 57 59 60 61

Su Chen later gives Xiao Wu a fifty-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox Skull. Its benefits help her become a Soul King and make her an effective control fighter alongside him. She competes with Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s Second Team in the Soul Master Tournament, including its matches against Shrek, Blazing Academy, and Spirit Hall. 64 69 71 96 After the team wins the championship, she returns with Su Chen to Notting City. Headmaster Gao Lu calls them both prides of Nuoding Academy and proposes erecting statues of them there. 105

Appearance

Xiao Wu usually appears as a young girl with a scorpion braid. Her human guise conceals her identity as a transformed Soft Bone Rabbit until she reveals it to Su Chen in the Star Dou Great Forest. 7 46

• Scorpion braid — her most consistently noted feature. 7
• Rabbit-like scent sensitivity — she identifies and tracks Su Chen through the Lunar Jade Rabbit aura. 7 14
• Soft Bone Rabbit origin — her original form is a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul beast. 46
• Later appearance — by the Soul Master Tournament, she is described as tall, with notably long legs. 70

Personality

Xiao Wu is direct, playful, and unembarrassed about pursuing what she wants. Su Chen’s repeated attempts to avoid or push her away do not discourage her; she treats his resistance as endearing and continues seeking his attention. 7 10

She is fiercely loyal once she chooses someone. She condemns Tang San for speaking badly about Su Chen, publicly sides with Su Chen during their conflicts, and risks exposing her own identity when Su Chen confronts the Titan Giant Ape for her sake. 9 15 46 During Tang Hao’s attack, she is prepared to sacrifice herself rather than be captured and endanger Su Chen. 59

Her affection also has a possessive streak. After learning that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling consider themselves Su Chen’s girlfriends, she asserts her own position as his childhood sweetheart and girlfriend; later, she competes with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing for Su Chen’s attention. 41 49 She challenges Huo Wu when the Blazing Academy fighter shows interest in him and confronts Hu Liena when the latter tries to charm him. 70 96
