Appearance

• Petite build and twin ponytails: Huo Yuhao initially remembers her simply as a small girl from their class 9.

Personality

Xiao Xiao is inquisitive, mischievous, and unusually attentive to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er’s relationship. She initially follows them because their behavior seems too intimate for ordinary roommates, then repeatedly teases them about sleeping and cultivating together. She notices changes in their closeness—and even their apparently linked auras—before Huo Yuhao understands the romantic implications himself 9 13 41.

Her teasing coexists with genuine loyalty. She challenges the academy’s decision to deny Huo Yuhao core-disciple status, brings food to an unwell Wang Dong’er, and keeps Dong’er’s gender secret when asked. In battle, she is confident enough to believe her team can defeat any opponent, but apologizes when exhausting herself leaves her unable to continue competing 14 20 24 26.

Abilities & Skills

Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron

Her first martial soul combines attack, control, and support. Although she registers for the Control System, Xiao Xiao tells Zhou Yi that attack is her primary cultivation focus for the cauldron 11.

• Direct attacks: Rams opponents and attempts to force them off the battle platform 16.
• Split formation: Divides into three cauldrons to block escape routes or intercept multiple opponents 16 19.
• Combined form: Becomes one enormous cauldron for stronger restraint; it briefly delays Ma Xiaotao and later pins Xie Huanyue 14 20.
• Defensive coverage: Protects allies and covers gaps in their defenses, including while supporting Dai Yueheng against Zhengtian Academy 58.
• Limits: Stronger opponents can knock the cauldrons aside. Xie Huanyue breaks through her three-cauldron blockade, while Wang Dong’er’s Dark Gold Terrorclaw leaves deep marks even after Cauldron’s Might reinforces it 20 86.

Cauldron’s Tremor

A cauldron-based shock wave that stuns its target, creating openings for follow-up attacks 16 18.

• Immobilizes Huang Chutian long enough for her team to press its attack 16.
• Stuns Wu Feng before Wang Dong’er lands Butterfly God’s Light 19.
• Its control effect can be removed: Ning Tian dispels Nanmen Yun’er’s stun before Xiao Xiao’s follow-up strike connects 18.

Nation’s Heavy Treasure, Cauldron’s Shockwave

A high-output technique activated with both of her original soul rings. It greatly strengthens the combined cauldron’s restraining power 20.

• Pins the three-ring Xie Huanyue in place for up to ten seconds, allowing Wang Dong’er to prepare a finishing attack 20.
• Drains Xiao Xiao almost as heavily as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would, forcing her to miss the afternoon match 20.

Cauldron’s Might

Her third soul skill, obtained from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, enlarges the cauldron and turns its surface dark gold 85 86.

• Greatly increases defense and enhances her other cauldron soul skills 86.
• Makes the cauldron noticeably sturdier when Huo Yuhao tests it with Ice Empress’s Pincer 86.
• Does not make it impervious to damage: Wang Dong’er’s external soul-bone claws gouge its surface 86.

Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute

Her second martial soul is a green flute specializing in control. She first reveals it in combat when a cauldron interception would be too slow to save Wang Dong’er 11 19.

• Slowing effect: Reduces enemy movement speed, buying allies time to evade or attack 19 20.
• Tactical setup: Slows Dai Huabin’s team before Xiao Xiao withdraws, leaving Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er to unleash their fusion skill 21.
• Limits against stronger targets: Only slightly slows a ten-thousand-year Tiger Demon Cat, though the delay still gives the group time to react 84.
• Cultivation trade-off: Xiao Xiao seeks an additional flute ring to accelerate her cultivation, while recognizing that waiting would allow her second martial soul to absorb stronger rings later 83.

Items & Soul-Bone Encounters

• Soul Ascension Pill — Receives a pill after the Sea God Lake incident. Her subsequent absorption or rank increase from it is not documented 10.
• Freshmen Assessment reward Soul Bone — Huo Yuhao gives her priority for the reward because he believes it suits her, inadvertently upsetting Wang Dong’er 24 25.
• Dark Gold Terrorclaw external Soul Bone — Attempts to absorb the bone found in the bear’s right palm, but cannot withstand its power. Wang Dong’er transfers the energy into herself to save Xiao Xiao; Xiao Xiao does not retain the bone 85 86.

Relationships

• Wang Dong’er / Wang Dong — Close friend and assessment teammate. Xiao Xiao discovers her gender, promises secrecy, and supports her relationship with Huo Yuhao. Dong’er later saves her from a soul-bone backlash and heals her injured arm 26 42 86.
• Huo Yuhao — Classmate, friend, and teammate whose Spiritual Detection supports their coordinated attacks. Xiao Xiao defends him when Shrek denies him core-disciple status and frequently teases his romantic obliviousness 19 24 42.
• Xuan Zi — Master, assigned by Mu En. He supervises her forest hunt but misjudges her ability to absorb the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Soul Bone 81 85 86.
• Zhou Yi — Freshman teacher. Questions Xiao Xiao’s Control System choice, prompting her to reveal her twin martial souls 11.
• Wang Yan — Assessment observer and tournament teacher. Recognizes her effective coordination with Wang Dong’er and pairs her with Dai Yueheng to provide defense and control 14 58.
• Dai Yueheng — Tournament partner against Zhengtian Academy. His Soul Emperor offense and her rear-line control secure Shrek’s second bout and overall match victory 58.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Joining Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er

Xiao Xiao enters the story as the classmate secretly watching Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er. After they catch her, Dong’er invites her to accompany them openly. Their outing to Sea God Lake ends with Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire attack; Xiao Xiao is knocked unconscious in the ensuing clash but wakes unharmed 9 10.

She later joins the pair’s three-person Freshmen Assessment team. When Zhou Yi challenges their identical Control System choices, Xiao Xiao reveals that she possesses a second martial soul 11.

Freshmen Assessment

Xiao Xiao’s cauldron control complements Wang Dong’er’s offense throughout the assessment. Against Ning Tian’s team, her flute prevents an ambush from trapping Dong’er, and the two finish Wu Feng after Huo Yuhao incapacitates Ning Tian 14 19.

Her restraint of Xie Huanyue enables another victory but leaves her too exhausted for the next match. Against Dai Huabin’s team, she follows their plan by slowing the opponents and surrendering before her teammates activate Gaze of the Goddess of Light. The trio wins the championship, and Xiao Xiao becomes a core disciple 20 21 24.

Discovering Dong’er’s Secret

After hearing about Wang Dong’s discomfort and the smell of blood, Xiao Xiao discovers that her supposedly male friend is a girl. Initially dismayed that the relationship she had been watching was not between two boys, she nevertheless agrees to keep the secret and brings Dong’er a meal 25 26.

Later, she notices the couple’s changed behavior and secret hand-holding. She also correctly connects the academy’s seven-person selection to the next Shrek Seven Devils, explaining that a new group is chosen every five years 41 42.

Shrek Seven Devils and Tournament Competition

Xiao Xiao joins the new Shrek Seven Devils and reserve team, ranking ahead of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er by age. The reserves train through Xuan Zi’s weekly team battles before traveling to compete 44.

At the continental tournament, her support helps Dai Yueheng defeat Zhengtian Academy’s pair. She later celebrates Shrek’s championship and openly praises Huo Yuhao and Dong’er’s compatibility 58 77.

Star Dou Great Forest Hunt

After becoming Xuan Zi’s student, Xiao Xiao accompanies Huo Yuhao and Dong’er into the forest to obtain soul rings. She absorbs the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s ring successfully, but her attempt to claim its external soul bone becomes life-threatening 81 82 85 86.

Dong’er saves and heals her. Xiao Xiao then demonstrates Cauldron’s Might, acquires another ring for her flute, and reaches rank 32 before the group returns to Shrek 86 88.

Later Tournament Representation

By the later tournament, Xiao Xiao is among the six former Shrek reserve members competing for the Tang Sect rather than Shrek Academy. Wang Dong’er remains on the academy’s side 140 150.
