Background / History
Life among humans
After reaching one hundred thousand years of cultivation, Xiao Wu undergoes Soul Beast Transformation and voluntarily enters human society. She chooses Nuoding City because powerful Soul Masters rarely appear there, making her identity less likely to be exposed 20 27.
At Nouding Academy, she defeats Tang San in their first fight after he becomes careless, taking his newly acquired position as Dorm Seven’s boss. Having brought no bedding, she shares his oversized quilt; their beds are pushed together to accommodate it. Ling Han deliberately supplied the quilt to bring them closer 6.
Xiao Wu leads the work-study students against Xiao Chenyu’s group after he demands that she become his “pet.” She rejects the humiliation and welcomes Tang San’s intervention. He defeats Xiao Chenyu and forces him to apologize to her 10.
Leaving Nuoding City
Her bond with Tang San develops through shared dormitory life, sparring, and practical care. When he collapses from training exhaustion, she carries him to bed and wipes his forehead while complaining that he should take better care of himself. After their vacation, the two visit Ling Han holding hands 13 14 20.
When Tang San prepares to leave the academy, Xiao Wu hesitates to abandon the safety of Nuoding City. Recognizing that she has fallen in love with him, she chooses to follow. Ling Han privately reveals that he knows her true identity and promises to protect both of them. Her fear eases further after he lends her an aura-concealing sachet 27 28.
Imperial Fighting Team
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xiao Wu joins the Imperial Fighting Team’s training under Ling Han. He focuses on integrating her existing abilities into the group rather than extensively directing her individual cultivation 30 31.
During a later visit to the Star Dou Great Forest, Er Ming arrives to see her. Xiao Wu becomes frantic when Ling Han restrains him, fearing he will be hurt. Once the situation settles, she reassures Er Ming that she is happy and well cared for among humans, and the two are allowed to speak privately 38.
Concerned about the cultivation gap between Xiao Wu and Tang San, Ling Han gives her Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Her love for Tang San wins the herb’s recognition, and consuming it raises her cultivation to peak rank 37. Ling Han instructs her to conceal the origin of her naturally formed third Soul Ring by saying he took her out to obtain it 41.
Tang San subsequently discovers her nonhuman aura when she removes the sachet while asking him to comb her hair. He confides in Ling Han and unequivocally rejects the suggestion of taking her Soul Ring or Soul Bone 43.
Appearance
Xiao Wu’s human form is small and slender, but conceals considerable physical strength 14.
- Wears pink during her sparring match with Tang San 13.
- Is described as lively and adorable at their first meeting 6.
- Can carry the unconscious Tang San without difficulty despite her slight build 14.
Personality
Xiao Wu is lively, assertive, and unwilling to accept humiliation. She quickly establishes herself as Dorm Seven’s boss and openly challenges Xiao Chenyu rather than tolerate his demand that she become his pet 6 10.
Her affection often appears through teasing and action rather than solemn declarations. She worries over Tang San’s exhaustion, tends to him, and then insists he repay her with something delicious. His rapid cultivation also encourages her to work harder 14 30.
Despite her long life as a Soul Beast, she remains emotionally vulnerable where Tang San is concerned. When Ling Han mentions their widening power gap, she initially fears he intends to separate them. Her caution toward powerful humans is more practical: she tests his sachet before becoming more comfortable trusting him 28 41.
She is sensitive to needless harm against Soul Beasts. During forest training, Ling Han’s instruction to drive beasts away when possible, rather than slaughter them unnecessarily, visibly reassures her 33.
Abilities & Skills
Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul
Her Soft Bone Rabbit supports a Power Attack System fighting style built around agility and close-range offense 13 30 31.
- Agility: Makes her difficult for Tang San to strike during sparring 13.
- Physical strength: Allows her to carry him effortlessly while he is unconscious 14.
- Range limitation: Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass spear can keep her too far away to use her close-range techniques 13.
Waist Bow
A signature technique she relies on to bring Tang San down in close combat 13.
- Requires her to approach closely enough to execute it.
- Cannot resolve their sparring stalemate while his spear keeps her at a distance 13.
Explosive Eight-Stage Throw
Her signature ultimate technique and the focus of her offensive development during the Imperial Fighting Team’s technique demonstrations 48.
Soul Beast Transformation and Ring Condensation
Unlike ordinary human Soul Masters, Xiao Wu can independently condense her first few Soul Rings after transformation 38 41.
- Her third ring forms automatically when Lovesick Heartbreak Red raises her Soul Power to rank 30 41.
- Ling Han offers to provide secluded locations for future condensation, sparing her repeated trips to the Star Dou Great Forest 38.
- Her Soul Beast aura can expose her identity to powerful observers unless concealed 20 27 43.
Equipment / Items
- Aura-concealing sachet — Borrowed from Ling Han and previously used by the Snow Empress. Conceals Xiao Wu’s nature even from Titled Douluo; Ling Han asks her to return it once she obtains a replacement. Removing it allows Tang San to detect her aura 27 28 43.
- Lovesick Heartbreak Red — An immortal herb given by Ling Han. It recognizes her after she places a drop of heart’s blood on its petals and recalls her life with Tang San. Though reluctant to consume a symbol of their love, she accepts Ling Han’s persuasion and refines it 41.
Relationships
- Tang San — Dormmate, sparring partner, and romantic attachment. She chooses to leave Nuoding City to remain with him; he protects her from bullying and refuses to exploit her Soul Beast identity 6 10 27 43.
- Ling Han — Teacher, protector, and benefactor. Although she is explicitly not his formal disciple when they leave Nouding Academy, he safeguards her identity, supports her relationship with Tang San, and helps her cultivate 27 28 38 41.
- Er Ming — Close Soul Beast companion who visits her in the human world. She fears for his safety when Ling Han restrains him and later reassures him about her life among humans 38.
- Da Ming — Concerned Soul Beast companion. After hearing Er Ming’s report, he judges Ling Han too powerful to provoke and unlikely to covet Xiao Wu’s cultivation 38 39.
- Wang Sheng — Fellow work-study student who follows her leadership and fights Liu Long during the confrontation with Xiao Chenyu’s group 10.
- Xiao Chenyu — Academy antagonist whose demand that she become his pet provokes her open defiance 10.
- Snow Empress — Recognizes Xiao Wu’s transformed Soul Beast identity immediately upon meeting her 20.
