Background / History
Life among humans
Xiao Wu lived among humans while concealing her identity as a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. Tang Hao recognized her true nature from Tang San’s first day at Nuo Ding Academy, but Tang San remained unaware of it until after her death 53.
During an earlier visit to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape abducted Xiao Wu without harming her. Tang Hao later cited her safe return and the ape’s unusual behavior as evidence that the two already knew each other 53.
After Shrek’s rejection by Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xiao Wu joined the other students in their resentment toward Lin Ye and the academy. She supported Ning Rongrong’s proposal to seek pressure from her family’s powerful elders and participated in the Seven Devils’ pledge to train for revenge 19 20.
Conflict with Lin Ye
At a Heaven Dou City auction, Xiao Wu confronted Lin Ye and shook her fist at him. Tang San restrained her because neither of them could defeat him. Lin Ye already knew her hidden identity and regarded her as a potential source of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone 24.
The following morning, Xiao Wu mocked Lin Ye after seeing him leave a hotel with Shui Bing’er and Ye Lingling. She then fled, acknowledging that she could not beat him yet but expecting to take revenge eventually. Lin Ye decided to hunt her before another powerful Soul Master discovered her identity 26.
Lin Ye hired two level-48 Soul Ancestors to ambush Xiao Wu on her route back to Blue Tyrant Academy. The attack was also a test of whether Tang Hao was protecting her nearby. Despite her Charm and evasive skill, the attackers overwhelmed her; one continued after being told to stop and inflicted severe internal injuries. Tang Hao did not intervene 26.
Death
When Lin Ye approached, Xiao Wu realized he had arranged the ambush. His reference to hunting Soul Beasts frightened her, although she initially doubted that he could have seen through her disguise. He killed her with an ice spike and extracted a Soul Bone from her body. The crimson Soul Ring that appeared confirmed her identity to Shui Bing’er and Ye Lingling 27.
Lin Ye absorbed her Soul Ring while the two women guarded the alley. Before leaving, he removed Xiao Wu’s body and erased traces of their presence, concealing the killing from the Shrek group 27 28.
Aftermath
Tang San became alarmed when Xiao Wu failed to return before sunset, as she had promised. Shrek’s overnight search found evidence of a fierce fight but no trace of her. Flender privately feared she would never return and prohibited students from leaving the academy without permission 28.
A year without news of Xiao Wu drove the Titan Giant Ape to attack the Shrek group during another forest visit. Tang Hao’s explanation that Tang San was not responsible for her death shattered the ape’s remaining hope and intensified its desire for revenge 50 51 52.
Tang Hao subsequently told Tang San about Xiao Wu’s species and his conclusion that she had been killed for her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Tang San vowed to grow stronger and avenge her, while keeping the revelation from his teammates 53 54.
Tang Hao eventually identified Lin Ye as her killer after observing Ice Dragon Golden Body, which closely resembled the Soft Bone Rabbit’s Invincible Golden Body described in an ancient text. He ambushed Lin Ye, who admitted killing Xiao Wu 77.
Personality
Xiao Wu is playful, outspoken, and openly confrontational toward Lin Ye. She mocks him even while knowing he is stronger, then retreats with promises of future revenge. Her confidence in her eventual strength contrasts sharply with her vulnerability during the alley ambush 24 26.
Her companions describe her as someone who loves playing and exploring. They initially assume her disappearance is another outing that has run late. Tang San takes it more seriously because she has promised always to return before sunset 28.
