Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Level 29 — Soul Grandmaster	14 5 7	Reached Level 29 by graduation from Nording Academy despite spending much of her time playing rather than cultivating. Her level is verified at Shrek’s entrance examination, and she identifies herself as a Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster before the final trial.

Background / History

Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who has assumed human form. She retains memories and knowledge from her earlier existence, including enough understanding of Martial Souls to recognize errors in some of Yu Xiaogang’s theories 12 16.

She spends six years at Nording Academy alongside Tang San and is described as having been the academy’s “boss.” By graduation, she matches his Level 29 Soul Power despite being considerably less diligent about training 1 2 14.

Her concealed identity makes her a potential target for anyone seeking a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone. She is relieved that Shrek’s headmaster, Flender, is only a Soul Saint, since a stronger expert might discover what she is 20.

Personality

Xiao Wu is lively, curious, and easily drawn into conversation. On her first visit to Suotuo City, she wants to keep exploring rather than rest; at the Rose Hotel, talking with Lin Xiao soon distracts her from Tang San’s duel 1 2.

Her kindness comes with a strong sense of responsibility. Believing Lin Xiao has been badly injured while protecting her, she seeks medicine, helps him rest, and insists that Tang San provide accommodation rather than simply give him money. She openly challenges Tang San when she considers his behavior unfair 2 3.

Although initially innocent about romantic implications, she readily praises Lin Xiao’s appearance and later teases him about Ning Rongrong. She distinguishes her affection for Tang San as that of a younger sister toward an older brother, while describing Lin Xiao as a friend she already feels unusually close to 3 4 14 16.

Abilities & Skills

Power Attack Combat

• Uses a rabbit Martial Soul and identifies her combat specialization as the Power Attack System 7.
• Fights alongside Lin Xiao on the front line during Zhao Wuji’s entrance trial 7 8.
• Evades a ground shockwave by jumping, then uses Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass as a route for an attack from above 8.
• Provides harassment and cover while the team stalls Zhao Wuji near the end of the trial 9.
• Considers Dai Mubai beyond her ability to defeat because of their strength gap 19.

Soul Skill Pool

The Goddess Codex lists the following skills as belonging to Xiao Wu. Its draw pool is not restricted by her current level, so their inclusion does not establish that she can use all of them at Level 29 1.

• Waist Bow
• Charm
• Instant Teleportation
• Invincible Golden Body

Lin Xiao draws Invincible Golden Body from her pool. The system enhances his version into Thirty-Second Invincibility, initially granting thirty seconds of invulnerability and a tenfold strength increase; these enhancements belong to his acquired version, not Xiao Wu’s demonstrated abilities 1.

Soul Beast Physiology and Knowledge

• Her transformed Soul Beast body is naturally stronger than ordinary human bodies, though twenty laps around the village still leave her tired and sweating 22.
• Retains extensive knowledge from her life as a Soul Beast and privately recognizes that some of Yu Xiaogang’s claims are incorrect 16.
• Recognizes similarities between Lin Xiao’s Heaven-Bestowed Soul Ring and Soul Beast sacrifice: an inaccessible protective barrier and absorption unrestricted by the recipient’s bodily limits 12.

Soul Power Control Training

• Seeks instruction after seeing Lin Xiao complete endurance training without visible fatigue 22.
• Attends his lesson on mental control, meridians, acupoints, and separating Soul Power into precise amounts 23.
• The provided chapters document her participation, but not mastery of the techniques 23.

Relationships

• Lin Xiao — A new friend whose apparent protection at the Rose Hotel earns her gratitude. His consideration, leadership, and strength deepen her trust; learning that he obtains Soul Rings without killing Soul Beasts further reassures her 2 4 10 12 19.
• Tang San — Her companion of six years and older-brother figure; the Codex identifies him as her destined partner. His jealousy, disparagement of Lin Xiao, and interference with her training gradually damage her feelings toward him. Unknown to her in these chapters, he has confirmed her Soul Beast identity and wants her to sacrifice herself so he can obtain her Soul Ring and Soul Bone 1 3 14 16 22.
• Ning Rongrong — Her Shrek roommate. Rongrong asks about her feelings for Lin Xiao and announces plans to marry him into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, surprising Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu later offers to help her during endurance training 16 21.
• Zhu Zhuqing — Fellow applicant and teammate during Zhao Wuji’s trial. They later study Soul Power control together under Lin Xiao 7 8 23.
• Yu Xiaogang — Respected chiefly because he is Tang San’s teacher and a scholar. Xiao Wu has little personal fondness for him and does not accept all of his theories 16.
• Zhao Wuji — Entrance examiner who accepts her group into Shrek. She obeys his order to keep back during Lin Xiao’s unexpected Soul Ring manifestation and agrees to keep the event secret 10 11.
• Tang Hao — Threatens Lin Xiao with death if he continues associating with her. Xiao Wu is not present during the confrontation; Lin Xiao interprets Tang Hao’s intervention as an attempt to preserve her attachment to Tang San for a future sacrifice 24.

• Questions Lin Xiao about his effortless running and tries to request instruction, prompting Tang San’s possessive intervention 22.
