Power Progression

Background and History

Xiao Wu arrives at Notting Academy as a work-study student and immediately challenges Dorm Seven’s leader, Lin Xuan. He pins her in their match; she admits defeat, then becomes interested in the talisman that sharpened his reactions. The two grow close while living in the dormitory, and Xiao Wu begins teaching him kicking, footwork, and other close-combat fundamentals 6 8 14 16.

When she says she has nowhere to go for the school break, Lin Xuan invites her to Holy Soul Village and helps prepare a vacant house beside his. After years of training together, they leave Notting Academy with Tang San and continue their studies at Shrek, then Blue Tyrant Academy 17 18 20 67.

Xiao Wu keeps her Soul Beast origin hidden. Dugu Bo detects it at the Great Soul Arena, making her vulnerable to someone seeking a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Later, Lin Xuan gives her the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. After he tells her that he knows her identity and assures her he will not harm her, she eats the herb; her Soul Beast aura disappears completely 66 75 76 84.

Her connection to the Star Dou Great Forest includes Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape, who carries her away from her companions because he misses her. Xiao Wu scolds him for frightening the group and risking exposure of her identity, then reassures him that she is living well and that Lin Xuan takes good care of her. After returning safely, she conceals their connection by claiming that a bull’s roar frightened the ape into dropping her 54 55 56.

Both of Xiao Wu’s parents died in the Great Ferocious Land within the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Her mother entered that region after Xiao Wu first took human form and never returned. When Dugu Yan later questions why the students train so relentlessly, Xiao Wu resolves to become strong enough to remain with Lin Xuan and investigate the truth behind her parents’ deaths 129.

As a Blue Tyrant Team fighter, Xiao Wu helps defeat the Imperial Fighting Team and participates in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament’s qualifying matches. Her victories include overcoming Yu Tianheng and Feng Xiaotian through combinations of mobility, mental disruption, close-combat techniques, and Invincible Golden Body 114 147 165 166.

Appearance

As a young student, Xiao Wu wears pink and has delicate features and a long braid that falls past her waist 6 11.

• Her braid swings prominently during her fights and animated conversations 12 13.
• Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul Possession gives her furry rabbit ears 49.
• As a Soul Ancestor, she displays four Soul Rings: two yellow and two purple 104 165.
• Her scorpion braid can also serve a combat purpose; she uses it to bind Feng Xiaotian’s arms during an aerial grapple 165.

Personality

Xiao Wu is competitive and eager to fight: she challenges Lin Xuan on arriving at Dorm Seven and later volunteers to test his combat talismans. She is also quick to defend others, confronting Xiao Chenyu after he bullies work-study students and taking on Ma Hongjun when he harasses her friends 6 10 11 32.

She is openly affectionate with Lin Xuan, but fears what discovery of her Soul Beast identity could mean. When he reveals that he knows, she asks whether he wants her Soul Ring and Soul Bone; his reassurance lets her trust him with her secret 57 76.

Her fear of Titled Douluo persists even after consuming the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. When she meets Chen Xin, she instinctively trembles and doubts whether the herb can truly conceal her aura; holding Lin Xuan’s hand helps calm her 94.

Xiao Wu is protective of Lin Xuan and openly objects when others treat him unfairly. She protests Yu Xiaogang’s decision to make him a reserve despite his strength and later defends him when Huo Wu demands the secrets of his talismans 44 157.

Although deeply attached to Lin Xuan, she accepts Ning Rongrong’s affection for him and later encourages Zhu Zhuqing to express her feelings. She, Rongrong, and Zhuqing agree to remain united and support one another rather than compete over him 77 170.

Her cultivation goals become more explicit during the team’s gravity training: she wants the strength to stay beside Lin Xuan and to uncover what happened to her parents in the Great Ferocious Land 129.

Abilities and Skills

Soft Bone Rabbit combat

Xiao Wu specializes in flexible, close-range fighting built around kicks, grappling, and throws 6 26.

• Waist Bow, first Soul Skill — increases her waist flexibility and explosive strength, enabling powerful throws and serving as a foundation for Explosive Eight-Stage Fall 12 103 104.
• Explosive Eight-Stage Fall — a self-created throwing technique used to overwhelm opponents after she secures a hold 32 103 105.
• Gravity training — sparring with Zhu Zhuqing under Zhao Wuji’s Gravity Field makes her grappling more precise and forceful; she continues gravity-enhanced physical training at Blue Tyrant Academy 48 129.
• Aerial grappling — combines Teleportation, Charm, her braid, and the Gale Talisman’s ability to keep her aloft to restrain Feng Xiaotian and repeatedly execute Explosive Eight-Stage Fall in midair 165.

Charm

Her second Soul Skill briefly disrupts an opponent’s mind and Soul Power flow, creating an opening to close the distance. Opponents at her rank generally struggle to resist it unless they possess strong Spiritual Power 32 103.

• Long-term use of Clear Mind Talismans refines her Spiritual Power enough for Charm to interrupt Tang San for half a second despite his use of Purple Demon Eye 50.
• She uses Charm to create decisive openings against Yu Tianheng, the airborne Huo Yun, and Feng Xiaotian 114 156 165.

Teleportation

Her third Soul Skill moves her a short distance instantly. Xiao Wu uses it to bypass attacks, reach grappling range, reposition in combat, and rescue endangered teammates 32 88 89 91.

• She can use successive teleports to approach a target rapidly and can reposition directly above airborne opponents 91 156 165.
• During the Gray Storm Eagle hunt, Tang San assigns her to monitor the battlefield and teleport to endangered teammates because of her exceptional mobility 88.

Invincible Golden Body

Her fourth Soul Skill makes her immune to physical and energy attacks for three seconds while doubling her strength 88.

• She can use it three times per day; its duration increases by one second for every further ten Soul Power levels 88.
• She uses it to intercept the Gray Storm Eagle’s attack on Zhu Zhuqing and to repel a level-45 opponent’s full-force punch 89 105.
• Against Yu Tianheng, it repels Thunderclap Dragon Claw and leaves him vulnerable to her Charm, Teleportation, and throwing combination 114.
• Against Blazing Fire Academy, she intercepts Huo Wu’s Fire Dance Radiant Sun after Lin Xuan’s Frost Lock Talismans weaken the incoming fireball, completely absorbing its impact with her absolute defense 156.
• Against Feng Xiaotian, she withstands three consecutive slashes without moving. The recoil injures his wings, allowing her to seize a wing joint and kick him out of the arena 166.

Talisman-enhanced fighting

Lin Xuan’s talismans can sharpen Xiao Wu’s focus and add elemental effects to her close-range attacks 12 40 104.

• Clear Mind improves her perception and decision-making; years of use also refine her Spiritual Power 12 19 50.
• Fire, frost, and wind add burning and slowing effects while increasing her attack options and mobility 40 61.
• Lightning adds penetration and paralysis to her strikes. In a two-on-two match, Lin Xuan combines all five enhancements—Clear Mind, fire, frost, wind, and lightning—on her at once 104 105.
• Fire suppression improves her resistance to flame attacks. Lin Xuan uses a Fire-Suppressing Talisman when she fights Ma Hongjun and provides fire suppression and frost enhancements for the team’s match against Blazing Fire Academy 32 155.
• Combined support — she can fight under both Lin Xuan’s talisman enhancements and Ning Rongrong’s pagoda boosts, as demonstrated against the Imperial Fighting Team and Godwind Academy 113 165.

Soul Beast transformation and concealment

As a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu can condense her own Soul Rings rather than acquire them through ordinary Soul Beast hunts. She secretly produces her first ring and later condenses her fourth ring in Lin Xuan’s presence 9 86.

• She initially claims her first ring came from a Hundred-Year Soft Bone Rabbit 9.
• To explain her fourth ring, Lin Xuan tells the others that she absorbed the ring of a dying, four-thousand-eight-hundred-year Vajra Rabbit found beside a stream 86.
• Consuming the Lovesick Heartbreak Red conceals her Soul Beast essence within her body, removing the aura by which a Titled Douluo would ordinarily recognize her true nature. This does not erase knowledge already held by people who discovered her identity earlier 66 76.

Relationships

• Lin Xuan — longtime training partner and boyfriend. Xiao Wu teaches him to fight, later admits she loves him, and trusts him to protect her Soul Beast identity. She publicly confirms their relationship while announcing that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing are also his girlfriends 14 57 76 170.
• Tang San — friend and teammate from their Notting Academy years; she helps comfort him when his father leaves Holy Soul Village. He attempts to save her when the Titan Giant Ape attacks and later coordinates with her in team battles 6 18 54 114 156.
• Ning Rongrong — teammate and friend who worries for Xiao Wu after the Titan Giant Ape carries her away. Xiao Wu accepts Rongrong’s affection for Lin Xuan, and they later agree to support one another as his girlfriends 56 77 170.

• Dugu Bo — discovers her true identity before she consumes the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. His presence initially frightens her because of the danger of exposure 66 68.
