Appearance

Xiao Wu’s first appearance depicts a youthful girl with innocent eyes, coffee-brown hair braided to her calves, and a short pink dress 40.

• Rabbit ears: Retains distinctive pink rabbit ears even after becoming a goddess 87 299.
• Changing hair descriptions: Her braid is described as wine-red and extending past her hips in a later scene 100.
• Forest appearance: After two years away, she is taller and wears a heel-length white dress, with loose black hair falling below her hips 167.
• Divine appearance: Wears her recognizable scorpion braid and moves on tiptoe, giving the impression of dancing 299.
• After losing her divine seat: Appears haggard, with ankle-length loose hair and a dust-covered Rippling Skirt 317.

Personality

Xiao Wu is outspoken, proud, and fond of affectionate attention. She reminds Tang San that she was his “boss” at Nuoding Academy and objects to his lending money to Dai Mubai, whose womanizing makes her distrust him 40.

Her loyalty extends to both her human companions and her soul-beast family. She misses Shrek’s teachers and students after returning to the forest, but refuses to lead Su Chen to Star Lake because she considers it sacred and wants to protect those sheltering there. She also remains determined to avenge her mother 164 167.

Her feelings toward Su Chen are conflicted rather than straightforwardly romantic. His repeated humiliating attacks leave her angry and apprehensive, yet she worries about injuring him, protects him from Di Tian, and privately questions why he occupies a place in her heart 64 101 168 170.

Initially, Xiao Wu fiercely defends Tang San against Su Chen’s accusations. Her loyalty eventually gives way to disillusionment: she lets Su Chen’s party escape, confronts Tang San about her sacrifice, and later helps Su Chen despite Tang San’s opposition 173 174 300 317.

Abilities & Skills

Waist Bow

Her first Soul Skill uses exceptional waist strength and flexibility to throw an opponent 70 168.

• Initially increases waist strength by 100% and flexibility by 50%; each Soul Power rank above ten adds one percentage point to its amplification 70 168.
• Forms the finishing move of a seamless close-combat combination against Su Chen 70.
• With Ning Rongrong’s support, defeats Li Kai during the tournament 132.
• Throws Su Chen through six trees during their forest rematch, although he remains able to fight 168.

Charm

Her second Soul Skill produces pink light in her eyes and disrupts an opponent through eye contact 133 168.

• Catches Xu Yu off guard, allowing her to follow with Waist Bow and knock him unconscious 133.
• Can be countered by an informed opponent avoiding her gaze, as Su Chen does 168.

Instantaneous Movement

Her third Soul Skill, also called Teleportation, enables short-range repositioning 70 133 168.

• Closes gaps for attacks and allows repeated movement into an enemy team’s rear lines 70 133.
• Helps her escape Yan’s flames before Tang San pulls her clear with Blue Silver Grass 135.
• Its limited range makes her destination predictable enough for Su Chen to intercept her after trapping her between earthen barriers 168.

Invincible Golden Body

Her fourth Soul Skill grants three seconds of invulnerability 133.

• Blocks Xie Yue’s returning Moon Blade and temporarily renders Zhang Ping’s attacks ineffective 133 135.
• Does not provide lasting protection: Yan’s flames injure her when the invulnerability ends 135.
• Requires timely activation; she uses it too late to prevent Su Chen’s surprise attack during their forest duel 168.

Soft Bone Lock

Her fifth Soul Skill creates pink, armor-like light over her limbs as she wraps around an opponent and restrains them 168.

• An opponent must possess more than twice her strength to escape by strength alone 168.
• Otherwise persists until her Soul Power runs out or she voluntarily releases the hold 168.
• Also immobilizes the captured opponent for five seconds 168.
• Prevents Xiao Wu from using other attacks while maintaining the lock 168.

Combat Analysis and Coordination

Xiao Wu combines rapid movement, close-range restraint, and throws with her teammates’ control and support abilities 70 132 133.

• Applies Yu Xiaogang’s analysis of Su Chen’s Substitution Technique, reading its movement traces to predict his reappearance 168.
• Serves in Shrek’s front-line assault formation alongside Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing 68.
• Penetrates Spirit Hall Academy’s rear line while other major fighters are occupied 133.

Asura Divine Authority

Xiao Wu formerly holds half the Asura God’s divine seat through an unusual sharing arrangement with Tang San 300 312.

• Invokes that authority to override resistance from the guards at Jiayun Pass 300.
• Her participation originally enables Tang San to wield the Asura Blood Sword 312.
• Tang San forcibly removes her share, allowing him to use the sword alone 317.

Items

• Lovesick Heartbreak Red — Fails its recognition test when Su Chen’s image interrupts her thoughts of Tang San. Tang San later apologizes for making her surrender the herb under pressure from Su Chen, who held Ah Yin hostage. Su Chen subsequently gives it to Qian Renxue, who gains its recognition 100 101.

History

Nuoding Academy and Arrival in Suotuo City

Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit living in human form. She previously attended Nuoding City’s Junior Soul Master Academy with Tang San and regarded herself as his boss 40.

When they reach the Rose Hotel, grilled snacks draw her away long enough to avoid encountering Chrysanthemum Douluo, who could have recognized her true identity. She returns to find Tang San lending Dai Mubai money and warns him against befriending someone she considers a bad influence 40.

Shrek Training and Arena Battles

As one of the Shrek Seven Devils, Xiao Wu undergoes Yu Xiaogang’s demanding training and returns to Suotuo’s Great Soul Arena. Her earlier encounters with Su Chen’s Thousand Years of Death, a humiliating attack targeting her backside, leave her fearful of facing him again 63 64.

She and Tang San defeat the Rat-Cat Combination before Shrek’s first team match against Su Chen alone. Xiao Wu lands a coordinated Waist Bow attack, but Su Chen subsequently overwhelms the team and hurts her again. Tang San’s anger on her behalf drives him to break Yu Xiaogang’s ban on hidden weapons 68 70 72 73.

Conflicted Attachment

After Ah Yin’s identity is revealed, Xiao Wu recognizes her as an aunt who once lived nearby. She questions whether Tang Hao’s relationship with Ah Yin might have involved a desire for her hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, reflecting her own fear of being exploited by humans 94 100.

Her failed attempt to gain Lovesick Heartbreak Red’s recognition deepens this uncertainty. Su Chen appears in her thoughts despite her love for Tang San and resentment toward Su Chen, leaving her unable to explain her feelings 101.

Tournament and Public Exposure

During the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, Xiao Wu defeats Li Kai and Xu Yu, then survives Xie Yue’s attack with Invincible Golden Body. Zhang Ping and Yan later overcome her defense by coordinating their attacks and exploiting its short duration 132 133 135.

Spirit Hall Academy wins, and Bibi Dong publicly exposes Xiao Wu’s soul-beast identity. Tang San, Liu Erlong, the other Seven Devils, and Shrek’s allies rally to defend her. Su Chen argues that Spirit Hall must protect visiting tournament participants, persuading Bibi Dong to permit her departure. His intervention earns Xiao Wu’s lasting acknowledgment that he saved her life 139 140 168 170.

Return to Star Dou Great Forest

Xiao Wu spends the next two years near the Lake of Life, missing her human friends. Di Tian and the other beasts urge her to remain protected until maturity rather than risk the fate of her mother, Da Wu. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong sends a party into the forest with orders to capture her alive 164.

Reunited with Su Chen, Xiao Wu reveals her Soul King cultivation and refuses to guide him to Star Lake. Their duel briefly favors her before he predicts her teleportation and defeats her with another surprise attack 167 168.

Su Chen’s argument for human–soul-beast coexistence changes her view of him. She secretly leads him toward the outskirts instead of Star Lake to keep him away from its powerful guardians, then intervenes when Di Tian attempts to kill him 169 170.

Warnings About Tang San

After Su Chen’s twenty-month stay with the Silver Dragon King, Xiao Wu says she is at most three years from maturity. Su Chen challenges her idealized view of Tang San and warns that the Clear Sky Sect’s demand for a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring could endanger her. She rejects his accusations, although his comments leave her troubled 173 174.

These warnings later become central to her interpretation of her sacrifice. At Jiayun Pass, she accuses Tang San of exposing her, Da Ming, and Er Ming to Spirit Hall so she would sacrifice herself, giving him her Soul Ring while leaving open a route to resurrect her 300.

Jiayun Pass and Break with Tang San

As a goddess, Xiao Wu initially leads the interception of Su Chen’s disguised party at Jiayun Pass. When the Silver Dragon King reveals herself and appeals to her, Xiao Wu orders the guards aside and lets the party escape. She declines to accompany them, saying she has unfinished business 299 300.

Tang San arrives afterward and slaps her for ruining his chance at revenge. Xiao Wu confronts him about the Clear Sky Sect’s requirements and the circumstances of her sacrifice. His evasions convince her that Su Chen’s warnings were justified 300.

Final Battle and Fate

Xiao Wu’s absence during the final conflict prompts concern from Su Chen and questions from her former companions. Tang San’s ability to wield the Asura Blood Sword alone further exposes that something has happened to her 305 312.

She returns alive to help Su Chen and reveals that Tang San forcibly stripped away her half of the Asura divine seat. She tells Tang San that he is no longer the person she knew. The finale identifies Xiao Wu—now unwilling to appear in human form—as the rabbit in the Moon Palace 317 318.

Relationships

• Tang San — Longtime companion whom she loves and calls “Brother.” She initially defends him unwaveringly, but later confronts him over her sacrifice and rejects his conduct after he forcibly removes her divine seat 40 73 173 300 317.
• Su Chen — Enemy whose humiliating attacks cause lasting resentment, but also the person she credits with saving her life. Her attachment remains conflicted; she protects him from Di Tian and later enables his escape from Jiayun Pass 101 140 168 170 300.
• Da Wu — Mother, killed by humans. Xiao Wu vows to avenge her, while Bi Ji and Di Tian regret being unable to protect her 164 170.

• Silver Dragon King — Revered lord who watched her grow up. Xiao Wu’s respect for her helps secure Su Chen’s party safe passage through Jiayun Pass 173 300.

Trivia

• Da Ming counts Xiao Wu calling Su Chen’s name 981 times in her sleep over two years, compared with 821 times for Tang San 164.
• Her first direct appearance narrowly preserves her secret identity: the grilled snacks that lure her away also keep her from meeting Chrysanthemum Douluo 40.
