Power Progression

Background

Xiao Wu had only recently assumed human form when she encountered Lu Shiyuan and Xiao Feiyu near the Star Dou Forest. Xiao Feiyu immediately recognized her as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, causing Xiao Wu to fear that they intended to kill her for a Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Instead, Lu Shiyuan offered her food and warned her that human Soul Masters could identify and hunt her. 4 5

Seeking safer access to the human world, faster cultivation, a way to revive her mother, and eventual revenge against her enemies, Xiao Wu asked to travel with them. Xiao Feiyu made her acceptance conditional on defeating Lu Shiyuan; Xiao Wu lost decisively but was allowed to join them after promising to behave. 5 6

Xiao Feiyu gave Xiao Wu a carrot-pendant necklace that conceals her soul-beast aura and warned that removing it would expose her identity. With identification papers arranged through Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu entered Nuoding Academy as Lu Shiyuan's younger sister. 7 10

Before entering human society, Xiao Wu lived in the Star Dou Forest and regarded Da Ming and Er Ming as her younger brothers. Her mother's death remained an important part of their shared history; when she returned six years later, Er Ming was surprised by the depth of her attachment to a human. 78 79

After graduating from Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu traveled with Lu Shiyuan to Suotuo City and joined Shrek Academy. She later expressed interest in leaving once his purpose there had been accomplished, stating that she would follow him wherever he went. 40 72 79

Appearance

Xiao Wu is a petite, delicate girl described as resembling a porcelain doll. Her innocent appearance contrasts strongly with her aggressive close-range fighting style. 4 19

• Bright eyes that curve into crescents when she smiles 6
• Long, straight legs used prominently in combat 6 19
• Initially wore a scorpion braid; later adopted long, soft, flowing hair at Lu Shiyuan's suggestion 8 41
• Prefers high-quality pink dresses 10
• Usually wears Xiao Feiyu's carrot-pendant aura-concealing necklace 7
• Later chooses a rosy pink dress with Lu Shiyuan's help and silver-gray high heels with heels approximately three to four centimeters high 63 64

Personality

Initially, Xiao Wu is frightened, hungry, and inexperienced with human society. Her expectation that Lu Shiyuan and Xiao Feiyu would kill her reflects her awareness of the hostility between Soul Masters and soul beasts. Once treated kindly, she becomes energetic, trusting, and determined to remain with them. 4 5 6

She is deeply loyal to Lu Shiyuan, whom she recognizes as her brother. She comforts him quietly after Xiao Feiyu leaves, accepts his meditation technique only reluctantly because of its value, and promises to regard him as the most important person in her life. 8

Under Lu Shiyuan's guidance, Xiao Wu becomes notably more disciplined and attentive. She also has a fierce, outspoken side when defending him, particularly in confrontations with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. 7 12 13

Cultivation becomes a source of enjoyment rather than merely an obligation. Lu Shiyuan's example and the tangible satisfaction of growing stronger encourage her to train enthusiastically, while cultivating alongside him gives her another reason to persevere. 20

Her attachment to Lu Shiyuan develops into romantic love. By the time she claims Lovesick Heartbreak Red, she already considers him the person with whom she wants to spend her life. She can become jealous of other women close to him, but reassurance quickly restores her confidence in their bond. 29 37 74

Despite her jealousy, she is considerate toward her friends. Seeing Ning Rongrong exhausted during their return journey, she asks Lu Shiyuan to carry her, placing her friend's comfort ahead of her own possessiveness. 90

Xiao Wu also distinguishes between ordinary soul beasts and malicious ones. She has no sympathy for evil soul beasts such as the Bloodblade Mantis and would take the initiative to kill such creatures when capable. 77

Her opinion of Shrek Academy's teachers is more measured than her opinion of several students. She regards the teachers' flaws as generally tolerable, but strongly disapproves of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San, initially considering Oscar the comparatively decent exception. 72

Abilities & Skills

Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul

Xiao Wu originally possesses the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul and specializes in direct, close-range assault combat. It later evolves into the Moon Rabbit. 5 31

• Uses high mobility, kicks, and grappling-oriented attacks.
• Her transformed soul-beast nature grants her Innate Full Soul Power. 10
• Before maturity, she can condense Soul Rings herself rather than hunting Soul Beasts. 19
• The age of the Soul Rings she condenses can exceed conventional recommended ratios if her physique is sufficiently strong. 11
• Her soul-beast background grants her notable poison resistance and the ability to recognize the approximate age and intensity of Soul Ring energy. 11 18
• Possesses sharp hearing, allowing her to notice a distant argument before the group investigates it. 80

Moon Rabbit Martial Soul

The combined effects of Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Ginseng evolve Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit into the Moon Rabbit. Yun Qingluo instructs her to direct the ginseng's energy toward her Martial Soul rather than simply pursuing higher Soul Power. 30 31

• Greatly improves her cultivation aptitude. 31
• Enhances her first two Soul Skills. 31
• Raises Soft Bone's defense reduction from 10% to 15% per imprint, allowing five stacks to reduce defense by 75%. 31
• Gives her exceptionally strong armor-piercing potential when her Soul Skills are used together. Xiao Feiyu considers her a potentially formidable partner for Dugu Yan. 31

Waist Bow

Xiao Wu's first Soul Skill is the Waist Bow, a close-combat technique originally focused on using her waist and legs to throw opponents. 6 22

• Her early attempts could not move Lu Shiyuan because of his tempered physique. 6
• Lu Shiyuan helped revise the technique to emphasize leg strength and kicking power. 19
• The revised version grants explosive short-range acceleration comparable to an agility-attack Soul Master of the same rank. 19
• She conceals part of her speed and changes her rhythm to mislead opponents. 19
• Receives an additional enhancement following the evolution of her Martial Soul into the Moon Rabbit, though its revised numerical effects are not specified. 31

Soft Bone

Xiao Wu's purple second Soul Skill, Soft Bone, enhances her control and follow-up potential when combined with the Waist Bow. 22

• Initially, each successful attack reduces an opponent's defense by 10%. 22
• The defense reduction stacks up to five times.
• At full stacks, it triggers a joint-shattering effect that forcibly controls the target for three seconds.
• The control effect cannot be cleansed. 22
• After her Martial Soul evolves into the Moon Rabbit, each imprint reduces defense by 15%, for a maximum reduction of 75%. 31
• Her improved Waist Bow and third Soul Skill allow her to apply imprints rapidly, combining defense reduction with successive close-range attacks. 22 31

Crystalized Eight-Section Throw

Xiao Wu's third Soul Skill is Crystalized Eight-Section Throw, provided by a Soul Ring slightly over four thousand years old and under five thousand years old. 30 31

• Forms a patch of crystal where an enemy lands when slammed into the ground. 31
• Contact with the crystal ground increases the damage of the next attack received by 10%, stacking up to eight times. 31
• If the enemy takes the full sequence, the following attack can deal 180% damage. 31
• Links with her first two Soul Skills, allowing every attack to apply a Soft Bone imprint. 31
• Combining its damage amplification with five evolved Soft Bone imprints allows a follow-up attack to strike an opponent whose defense has been reduced by 75%. 31

Cultivation Method

Lu Shiyuan teaches Xiao Wu the special meditation method entrusted to him by Xiao Feiyu. Recognizing its value, Xiao Wu initially refuses before accepting it and promising to keep it secret. 8

• Greatly accelerates her cultivation and contributes to her rise from level 11 to level 20 in approximately a year. 19 20
• Improves her physique well beyond its earlier condition, enabling her to withstand older Soul Rings and overpower Tang San's early Blue Silver Grass. 11 18
• Her later cultivation speed exceeds Lu Shiyuan's in terms of level advancement; Xiao Feiyu explains that his exceptionally dense Soul Power requires substantially more energy for each breakthrough. 59

Combat Ability

Xiao Wu defeated Tang San after using concealed speed and explosive acceleration to bypass his Blue Silver Grass defenses and strike him in the abdomen. 19

• Her year of cultivation and Lu Shiyuan's training raised her from level 11 to level 20. 5 19 20
• She is physically strong enough to break free from Tang San's early Blue Silver Grass with little difficulty. 18
• Her combat style became less reliant on wrapping her legs around opponents after training with Lu Shiyuan. 19
• Extensive Great Soul Arena combat strengthened her experience and Soul Power foundation. During her earlier arena training, she nevertheless lost to a level 48 Soul Ancestor, and increasingly demanding matches eventually forced her and Lu Shiyuan to suspend their 2v2 participation. 35
• Earned a Purple-Gold Soul Fighter badge and had participated in more than seventy soul fights by the time Flender assigned Shrek's students to obtain Silver badges. 35 60
• By level 47, could nearly match a peak Soul King in a one-on-one fight. 40
• Together with Lu Shiyuan, defeated a group of Evil Soul Masters led by a Soul Emperor and including four Soul Kings, more than a dozen Soul Ancestors, and dozens of Soul Elders. This was the first time either had killed another person. 40
• Eventually became capable of beating Tang San with physical strength alone, without summoning her Martial Soul. He consequently remained unaware of her actual level. 49
• Beat Ma Hongjun after he made lewd remarks, leaving him visibly intimidated by her afterward. 60

Equipment / Items

• Carrot-pendant necklace — Conceals Xiao Wu's soul-beast aura; removing it would expose her identity and place her in danger. The necklace also has a Soul Ring-disguising function. 7 11
• Identification papers — Arranged through Spirit Hall, allowing her to enroll in Nuoding Academy under a human identity. 10
• Purple-Gold Soul Fighter badge — Earned through Great Soul Arena combat; later presented alongside Lu Shiyuan's and Zhu Zhuqing's badges to demonstrate that she had already exceeded Flender's Silver Soul Fighter assignment. 35 60
• Lovesick Heartbreak Red — Claimed after recalling her life with Lu Shiyuan and offering her essence blood. Absorbing it brought her to level 32, with medicinal power remaining for further refinement. 29 30
• Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Ginseng — Given to her by Yun Qingluo to help absorb the remaining power of Lovesick Heartbreak Red and complete her Martial Soul evolution. After refining the herbs, she reached level 35 and possessed the Moon Rabbit Martial Soul. 30 31

Relationships

• Lu Shiyuan — Chosen older brother, guardian, training partner, and the person Xiao Wu considers most important; she is fiercely loyal to him. 6 8 19 They are not related by blood. 10 Their years of companionship develop into romantic love, and her devotion allows her to claim Lovesick Heartbreak Red. After a disagreement over his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing, they reaffirm their importance to one another and promise not to leave or hide things from each other. Their mutual feelings are reaffirmed after returning from the Star Dou Forest. 29 74 92
• Xiao Feiyu — Protector and senior figure who recognized Xiao Wu's true identity, gave her an aura-concealing necklace, and supported her joining Lu Shiyuan. 4 6 7 She encourages Xiao Wu to become stronger so that she can share Lu Shiyuan's burdens and guides her to Lovesick Heartbreak Red. 29
• Tang San — Classmate and adversary. Xiao Wu distrusts him after his hostility toward Lu Shiyuan and his Sleeve Arrow sneak attack; she later defeats him in a duel. 13 19 His persistent attempts to court her only deepen her aversion. She dismisses him upon meeting him again in Suotuo City and rejects his proposal to form a 2v2 team. 40 41 60 His conduct during the dispute with Meng Yiran reminds her of his earlier sneak attack at Nuoding Academy. 81
• Dugu Yan — Met during Lu Shiyuan's spar with Dugu Yan; Xiao Wu was present among Lu Shiyuan's companions during the alliance with Dugu Bo's family. 23 26 Both improve their Martial Souls during their stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Xiao Feiyu considers their abilities potentially highly effective in combination. 29 31
• Yun Qingluo — Senior protector who gives Xiao Wu Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Ginseng and instructs her in using it to evolve her Martial Soul. Although initially unsettled by Yun Qingluo's joking references to roasted rabbit, Xiao Wu relaxes when she promises to treat her as Xiao Feiyu does. 30
• Zhu Zhuqing — Friend and fellow member of Lu Shiyuan's household and Shrek Academy circle. They spend time shopping and socializing together and jointly support Ning Rongrong's request to live with Lu Shiyuan. 45 56 63 Xiao Wu is briefly hurt upon discovering how far Zhu Zhuqing's relationship with Lu Shiyuan has progressed, but reconciles with him rather than breaking with either of them. 73 74
• Ning Rongrong — Close friend and housemate. Xiao Wu helps persuade Lu Shiyuan to let her stay at his manor, shops with her, and later asks him to carry her when she becomes exhausted during their journey. 56 63 90
• Da Ming and Er Ming — Longstanding companions whom Xiao Wu regards as younger brothers; she calls Er Ming her little follower. During her return to the Star Dou Forest, she introduces Lu Shiyuan as the person who matters most to her and insists that they respect him. Both have feelings for her, but she views them only as younger brothers. 78 79
• Mother — Xiao Wu initially enters human society partly to seek a means of reviving her mother or avenging her death. Da Ming and Er Ming know her mother as Aunt Rou. 6 78 79
• Ma Hongjun — Shrek schoolmate whose lewd behavior she disapproves of. She beats him for making inappropriate remarks and later mocks his arena performance. 60 72
