Background / History

Arrival at Shrek Academy

Before classes begin, Xiao Xiao sees Xie Huanyue displaying his Soul Elder strength in a restaurant. Fearing that Shrek’s students will all be similarly powerful, she considers adding a hundred-year soul ring to her second martial soul for an immediate advantage 22.

She meets Huo Yuhao near a bamboo grove while wearing her freshman uniform. His joke about a twin-martial-soul user wasting future potential initially makes her wary, but his explanation convinces her to delay developing her second martial soul. She later thanks him for preventing that mistake 12 22.

Freshman Assessment

Assigned to Freshman Class One, Xiao Xiao sits beside Huo Yuhao and introduces herself to Wang Dong. The three become assessment teammates and win all ten qualifying matches 14 19 22.

During the tournament, her cauldrons occupy Huang Chutian and contain Nanmen Yun’er while Huo Yuhao attacks their teammates. In the final, she volunteers to fight alongside him against Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. Although initially stunned by his ability to hold off the Hell White Tiger, she recovers and strikes its waist using the vision supplied by Spiritual Detection. Their team wins the championship, and Huo Yuhao arranges for her to receive its Leopard Soul Bone reward 21 23 24 25 26.

Assassination and Martial Soul Mutation

At the Treasure Appraisal Fair, Xiao Xiao purchases spirit phoenix grass on Huo Yuhao’s recommendation. On their return journey, they encounter assassins targeting him. She initially refuses to leave, then agrees to seek help 43 44 45.

A Soul Douluo’s sword energy wounds her during her escape. She nevertheless returns to Huo Yuhao, unwilling to let him die. Their martial souls achieve a complete connection, producing their first fusion skill and forcing the attacker to flee. Exhausted by the attack, she collapses into Huo Yuhao’s arms and receives a soul-power recovery pill 46.

After absorbing the grass, Xiao Xiao discovers that her flute now manifests a physical phoenix. She consults Wang Yan with Huo Yuhao, then tests the transformation in a private training room. During those tests, she also agrees to keep Huo Yuhao’s high-age snow-martial-soul ring secret 47 48 49.

Reserve-Team Selection

In Xuan Zi’s twenty-seven-person free-for-all, Xiao Xiao follows Huo Yuhao’s plan to protect Ning Tian. She shields Wu Feng with her cauldron and drives away an attacker. She remains among the final seven students, securing selection alongside Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Bei Bei, and Dai Huabin 51 52.

Appearance

• Build: Very short, petite, and delicate; her first appearance compares her to a figurine 12.
• Clothing: Wears Shrek’s new-student uniform with a long skirt, matching the colors and overall design of Huo Yuhao’s uniform 12.

Personality

Xiao Xiao is polite but guarded with strangers, initially declining to explain what is troubling her. Once comfortable, she becomes playful and direct: she asks to touch Huo Yuhao’s face during their first meeting, jokes with her teammates, and volunteers to confront Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu 12 13 20 24.

Her loyalty overrides her fear of stronger opponents. She refuses to abandon Huo Yuhao during the ambush and returns even after being wounded. Her concern also appears in quieter moments, such as insisting that his small arm wound deserves attention 37 44 46.

She is easily embarrassed by jokes about her closeness with Huo Yuhao and objects when Wang Dong’s teasing threatens her reputation. At the same time, she accepts practical criticism, acknowledges her lack of vigilance, and willingly experiments with her altered martial soul 39 48 49.

Abilities & Skills

Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron

• Manifests three cauldrons that Xiao Xiao can coordinate for containment, protection, and direct strikes 23 25 51.
• Occupies Huang Chutian during the qualifying rounds and traps Nanmen Yun’er during the knockout tournament 21 23.
• Strikes the Hell White Tiger’s waist at an opening identified through Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection 25.
• Shields Wu Feng and drives off an attacker during reserve-team selection 51.
• Has two soul rings at the time of her private training session with Huo Yuhao 49.

Nine Phoenix Ceremonial Flute

• A second, inherited family martial soul, originally classified as a tool martial soul 22.
• Initially appears as an emerald-green flute decorated with nine phoenixes 46.
• Remains without soul rings after Xiao Xiao follows Huo Yuhao’s advice to preserve its long-term potential 22 43 48.

Jade-Green Phoenix Manifestation

• After the mutation, the flute loses its phoenix decorations and summons an enormous jade-green phoenix with a physical body, intelligence, and emotions of its own 48.
• Xiao Xiao uses the flute’s music to command simple lunges, advances, and retreats; she cannot yet make the phoenix produce its own soul skills 48.
• The phoenix senses nearby danger and regards Huo Yuhao as more threatening than Wang Yan 48.
• Its combat strength without soul skills is roughly equivalent to that of a thousand-year soul beast 49.
• Wang Yan calls it a “semi-detached martial soul.” Electrolux instead suggests that the flute and phoenix are distinct energies linked by a rule; their exact relationship remains unresolved 48.

Ferocious Beast’s Awakening, Golden Age’s Downfall

• Combination: Xiao Xiao’s Nine Phoenix Ceremonial Flute and Huo Yuhao’s Qiongqi 46.
• Type: Single-target Martial Soul Fusion Skill 49.
• First result: Frightens the attacking Soul Douluo into fleeing and severs one of his hands 46.
• Power limit: Can penetrate a Soul Saint’s full defenses, but cannot overcome a Soul Douluo defending seriously 46.
• Cost: Its first use leaves Xiao Xiao unable to remain standing without recovery 46.

Snow–Cauldron Fusion

• Combination: Her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Huo Yuhao’s snow martial soul 49.
• Huo Yuhao senses that the resulting skill would be a large-area offensive attack, unlike Golden Age’s Downfall 49.
• They deliberately interrupt the fusion before completion to conserve their limited uses for the approaching class assessment. Even Huo Yuhao’s reserves permit only two fusion-skill activations within a short period 49.

Equipment / Items

• Leopard Soul Bone — The Freshman Assessment champions’ exclusive reward, allocated to Xiao Xiao at Huo Yuhao’s urging. Its abilities and absorption are not documented in the supplied chapters 26.
• Black privilege card — Grants a one-million-Gold-Soul-Coin credit limit usable twice yearly and a 30% discount at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion 40.
• Spirit phoenix grass — Purchased cheaply under a mistaken spirit-calming-grass label. After absorption, it mutates her second martial soul; Qiongqi’s residual aura carries its energy deep into her dantian, preventing detection or extraction 43 47.

Relationships

• Huo Yuhao — Teammate, cultivation adviser, and fusion-skill partner. Xiao Xiao trusts his judgment, openly shows affection and concern, and risks her life to return to him during the ambush. He protects her, helps develop her martial souls, and entrusts her with a cultivation secret 22 37 43 46 49.
• Wang Dong — Classmate and championship teammate. Their friendship includes banter, but Xiao Xiao objects to Wang Dong’s crude jokes about her and Huo Yuhao; their developing fusion partnership also provokes Wang Dong’s jealousy 14 25 38 39 47.
• Wang Yan — Teacher consulted about her martial-soul mutation. He examines the physical phoenix and proposes the “semi-detached” classification 47 48.
• Ning Tian and Wu Feng — Students she helps protect during the selection free-for-all; both subsequently join the same seven-person reserve lineup 51 52.
