Background / History

Xiao Wu first encountered Chu Zhao in the Star Dou Great Forest as a six-year-old girl. Though distrustful of humans, she tried to drive Chu Zhao away out of concern for her safety. Their argument turned into a brief fight, where Chu Zhao subdued Xiao Wu by striking a numbing nerve and holding the Death God Scythe to her throat; Chu Zhao then spared her after recognizing that Xiao Wu meant no harm 3.

Soon afterward, Xiao Wu and Chu Zhao were pursued by an Evil Soul Master. Xiao Wu initially boasted of the power she had possessed as a Soul Beast, only to be reminded that her human form was far weaker. She attempted to provoke the Evil Soul Master into pursuing her so Chu Zhao could escape, but the plan backfired and left Chu Zhao facing him alone 4.

She reunited with Chu Zhao at Notting Academy's Seventh Dormitory. Since she had already lost to Chu Zhao in the forest, Xiao Wu challenged Tang San instead, defeated him, and claimed the dormitory's second-ranked position 8. She later became one of Tang San's closest companions at Shrek Academy.

After Chu Zhao learned that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast, she chose to protect the secret rather than exploit it. Chu Zhao supplied her with Scent Pills and a scent pouch to conceal her aura, causing Xiao Wu to place Chu Zhao above anyone else in her heart 54. The pouch eventually broke during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, exposing Xiao Wu to those present and prompting Bibi Dong to order her capture 114 115.

Following the crisis at Pope's Palace, Xiao Wu returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and cultivated in seclusion for seven years. Her efforts brought her to rank 69, near the mature stage at which her Soul Beast aura would no longer be detectable by Titled Douluo 118 181.

Tang San later found Xiao Wu at the Lake of Life and persuaded her to leave the forest with him. He brought her to Slaughter City, where he betrayed her by piercing her with a blue-silver spear and attempting to absorb her Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring 183 187. Chu Zhao arrived too late to prevent Xiao Wu's death, but later saved her soul and returned it to her rabbit-form body 188 189.

Appearance

Xiao Wu is depicted as a girl with a rabbit-like appearance in childhood, later growing into a beautiful young woman described as proud and noble 3 183.

• Pink dress.
• Bright, faintly pink eyes.
• Long scorpion braid.
• Fluffy rabbit ears standing upright from her head.
• In her early twenties, carries herself “like a proud white swan.” 3 183

Personality

Xiao Wu is outspoken, short-tempered, and prone to acting before thinking. She reacts fiercely to perceived insults, whether defending herself, Chu Zhao, or her friends, and frequently addresses herself as “Sister Xiao Wu” with open confidence 3 4 8.

Despite her pride, she is compassionate and protective. Her first reaction to seeing Chu Zhao in the Star Dou Great Forest was to urge her to leave; during the Evil Soul Master's pursuit, she tried to attract the enemy's anger so Chu Zhao could escape 3 4.

She was initially lazy about cultivation, relying heavily on her natural advantages as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. After Chu Zhao helped conceal her identity and Xiao Wu dreamed of becoming strong enough to live openly among her friends, she committed herself to cultivating every day 23 55 183.

Xiao Wu values sincere loyalty deeply. Chu Zhao's acceptance of her Soul Beast identity earned her profound trust, while Tang San's eventual betrayal devastated her because she had believed in their long friendship 54 187.
