Background / History
Xiao Wu arrives at Nuoding Academy as a new work-study student in Dorm Seven. On meeting Tang San, she hears him privately call her his wife and plan to have her sacrifice herself for his advancement before reviving her. Alarmed that he knows her soul-beast identity, she challenges him for dorm leadership. Tang San wins, but Xiao Wu accepts the result without accepting his claim of protection 4.
She grows close to fellow student Ye Lin, sharing his bedding and spending time training with him over the following six years. She repeatedly rebuffs Tang San’s attempts to insert himself into their outings. After graduation, the three travel to Suotuo City to enroll at Shrek Academy; Xiao Wu refuses to share a hotel room with Tang San 5 9 12.
In Star Dou Forest, Xiao Wu arranges for the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming to take her away without harming her friends, though she asks him to frighten Tang San. While apart from the group, she absorbs her third Spirit Ring. She returns with an explanation that conceals her connection to Er Ming, then dodges Tang San’s attempted embrace and reunites warmly with Ye Lin 34 39 40 41.
When Ye Lin leaves for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect with Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu is hurt that he did not say goodbye. She then hears Tang San plan to use his absence to grow closer to her before arranging her sacrifice within a few months. She associates that timing with their planned arrival in Heaven Dou City and becomes increasingly alert to his intentions. During the journey, she repeatedly declines his offers of attention and returns to talking with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing 79 83.
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San’s thoughts warn Xiao Wu that Dugu Bo could recognize her true identity. Ye Lin notices her distress and suggests that she has an upset stomach, giving her an excuse to leave the hall. She uses the opportunity to get away before the anticipated Titled Douluo encounter. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang connects Tang San’s references to sacrifice with her unharmed return from Er Ming and privately deduces that she is a transformed hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit 88.
After Shrek’s group settles at Blue Tyrant Academy, Xiao Wu hears Tang San’s renewed plans to obtain immortal herbs and make her sacrifice herself. She considers leaving for safety but cannot bear to part from Ye Lin. When she learns that Dugu Bo has taken Ye Lin, concern for his life overwhelms her anger at Tang San’s schemes. She later accepts the explanation that Ye Lin and Yu Xiaogang are away training, reassured by her companions and the implications of Tang San’s thoughts 96 98 109.
Tang San subsequently reveals her identity to Dugu Bo and requests a staged abduction in which he would pretend to risk his life to save her, hoping to induce her sacrifice. Dugu Bo rejects the scheme, accuses him of coveting her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, and drives him away 116 117.
Xiao Wu later consumes a second Lovesick Heartbreak Red and reaches the bottleneck requiring her fourth Spirit Ring. Rather than join an immediate hunt, she proposes waiting until the others are ready, privately intending to find an opportunity to form the ring herself. Back in the classroom, she explains Tai Long’s persistent unwanted pursuit to Ye Lin; Ye Lin openly puts his arm around her and accepts Tai Long’s challenge 123 126 127.
Appearance
Xiao Wu is introduced as a girl with a scorpion braid. Activating her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul gives her furry rabbit ears and slightly tensed arm and leg muscles 4 17.
- Eyes — Turn pink when she begins activating Charm 18.
- Hair and figure — Has long, jet-black hair and is described as very beautiful, with exceptionally well-proportioned features and figure 127.
- Fighting movement — Uses agile footwork, jumps and kicks to avoid stronger opponents’ direct blows 17 53.
Personality
Xiao Wu is playful and openly affectionate with Ye Lin, but direct about boundaries she does not want Tang San to cross. Hearing his possessive thoughts makes her wary of his outwardly courteous behavior; she sometimes draws closer to Ye Lin specifically to provoke him 4 9 12.
She is protective of her companions and trusts Ye Lin’s combat judgment. During Zhao Wuji’s test, she abandons Charm when Ye Lin warns that the gap in Spiritual Power could make it backfire, then creates an opening for him with a kick to Zhao Wuji’s knee. She also asks Er Ming to spare her friends, despite arranging the encounter herself 18 34.
Her attachment to Ye Lin extends to risking her life for him: she deliberately places herself in the path of Shi Mo’s spinning blades. Later, even as Tang San’s plans make her consider fleeing the academy, her reluctance to leave Ye Lin prevents an easy decision 66 96.
She is cautious about exposure to Titled Douluo and does not assume that Tang San’s memories guarantee her safety. On hearing that Dugu Bo might appear, she immediately looks for a way to leave. She also keeps the nature of her fourth Spirit Ring formation private, arranging a plausible delay so she can handle it away from the group 88 126.
Abilities & Skills
Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul
- Martial Soul Possession produces rabbit ears and supports Xiao Wu’s nimble, kick-focused fighting style 11 17 53.
- She uses speed and stamina to wear down Fat Rat rather than matching his stronger punches 53 54.
- Her jumping ability lets her attack the airborne Yu Feng, although his aerial maneuverability allows him to evade her kicks 63.
Spirit Skills
- Waist Bow — first skill: Uses explosive force through her waist to throw an opponent. She launches Dai Mubai during the hotel fight and later sends Fat Rat off the arena platform 11 54.
- Charm — second skill: A mental attack indicated by a pink glow in her eyes. Ye Lin warns her that using it against Zhao Wuji’s much stronger Spiritual Power could backfire and injure her 18.
- Instant Teleportation — third skill: Lets her vanish and reappear a short distance away. She uses it to evade Tang San’s embrace and escape attacks and encirclement in arena combat 40 56 58. She also uses it to move behind Ye Lin and intercept Shi Mo’s spinning blades 66.
Self-Created Soul Skills
- Eight-Stage Fall / Eight-Stage Throw: A sequence of eight consecutive throws. Ye Lin describes its attack power as severe enough to leave even him badly hurt 33 46.
- Rice Rabbit Shockwave: A fast, pale-pink ranged blast released from her palms. Xiao Wu targets an opposing support Soul Master with it, then feigns a second shot to draw Kuang Xi into a charge she evades 46 56.
Hearing Tang San’s Thoughts
- Xiao Wu hears Tang San’s unspoken thoughts, including his knowledge of her identity and plans for her sacrifice. This lets her judge his stated concern against his private intentions 4 33.
- She also learns from his thoughts that Er Ming is expected to appear in Star Dou Forest 29 33.
- Later warnings include Tang San’s intended timetable for her sacrifice and the danger that Dugu Bo could recognize her soul-beast identity 79 88.
- Hearing his thoughts does not give Xiao Wu personal memories of the previous timeline. She acknowledges that she does not know what happened then beyond what she has learned from him 74.
Soul Beast Transformation and Ring Formation
- Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit who has transformed into a human and entered human society to cultivate. Recognition by a Titled Douluo remains a serious concern for her 88.
- Her fourth Spirit Ring must be formed through her own body rather than obtained by absorbing an external Spirit Ring. At the level-forty bottleneck, she plans to do this privately; its completion and skill are not yet shown 126.
Immortal Herb Absorption
- Lovesick Heartbreak Red: Xiao Wu releases the second such flower from its rock by striking her chest and spilling her heart’s blood onto its petals. She then consumes the petals and sits down to absorb them 123.
Relationships
- Ye Lin — Her closest companion since Nuoding Academy. They train together, share bedding for years and openly embrace after her return from Er Ming; she later takes a blade attack intended for him 5 9 41 66. Ye Lin shields her from the remaining blades and carries her during the rest of the battle. Her feelings for him make her reluctant to leave despite the threat of Tang San’s schemes, and he later publicly puts his arm around her while confronting Tai Long 67 96 127.
- Tang San — Claims in his thoughts that Xiao Wu is his wife, but she rejects that claim and keeps him at a distance after learning of his plans for her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone 4 12 33 40. She continues rebuffing him on the journey to Heaven Dou City. He later discloses her identity to Dugu Bo and attempts to recruit him into a false rescue designed to induce her sacrifice, but Dugu Bo refuses 83 116 117. Xiao Wu nevertheless notes that Tang San has been useful in keeping Tai Long away from her 127.
- Er Ming — The Titan Giant Ape, described as her younger brother. He calls her “Sister Xiao Wu,” helps her return to her companions and restrains his anger at a Titled Douluo out of concern for her safety 33 39.
- Zhu Zhuqing — Shrek teammate who considers asking Xiao Wu for advice after learning she has created two Soul Skills 46. They travel together toward Heaven Dou City, with Xiao Wu turning back to her and Ning Rongrong after declining Tang San’s attention 83.
- Ning Rongrong — Shrek teammate who supports Xiao Wu with strength and speed enhancements in combat 17 63. The two also spend time together during the journey and at the academy 83 109.
- Yu Xiaogang — Shrek instructor and Ye Lin’s teacher. He privately deduces her soul-beast identity from Tang San’s thoughts and the circumstances of her encounter with Er Ming, recognizing that the matter requires caution 88.
- Tang Hao — Secretly watches over her alongside Tang San to prevent other Titled Douluo from discovering her. His purpose is to preserve her as a future Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone for his son, not to protect her independence; he approves of Tang San’s sacrifice plan 35.
- Dugu Bo — A Titled Douluo whose potential recognition of her identity prompts her to flee the Heaven Dou Royal Academy hall. Tang San later tells him what she is, but he rejects the proposal to trick her into sacrificing herself 88 116 117.
- Tai Long — An unwanted suitor whose repeated confessions she has rejected. His hostility initially targets Tang San for sitting near her, then shifts to Ye Lin after he sees them holding hands 127.
