Background / History

Xiao Wu entered Nuoding Academy as a work-study student and immediately challenged Wang Sheng, defeating him to become the boss of the Seventh Dormitory. Zhang Tianyu refused to acknowledge her leadership without a fight; he defeated her using his self-created soul skills, though Xiao Wu treated the result as a temporary loss and vowed to beat him next time. 4

She quickly formed close ties with Zhang Tianyu and Tang San. Her frequent time with Zhang Tianyu, including sparring and outings, intensified Tang San's unexplained familiarity and attachment to her. 7 8 10

After Tang Hao disappeared, Xiao Wu accompanied Zhang Tianyu in comforting Tang San. On a mountaintop, Zhang Tianyu asked her to become his family; she accepted by calling him “Brother,” marking a deepening emotional bond. 14

During the Star Dou Forest crisis, the Titan Giant Ape took Xiao Wu away. She later revealed familiarity with Er Ming, who guarded her while she self-awakened her third soul ring—an ability possible because she is a reincarnated soul beast. 47

Her concealed identity eventually became central to the conflict with Spirit Hall. In Spirit City, she revealed herself as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast so that she could remain with Zhang Tianyu, but Bibi Dong ordered her to leave before morning. 297 Zhang Tianyu later told her that he knew both her identity and the death of her mother, promising to help her seek revenge. 298

Appearance

Xiao Wu is portrayed as a fair, pretty, and cute young girl. Her appearance becomes notably more mature after her third soul-ring awakening. 4 47

• Long hair that Zhang Tianyu strokes during their mountaintop conversation. 14
• Rabbit ears appear when she completes martial-soul possession. 30
• Her figure becomes more rounded and mature after awakening her third soul ring. 47

Personality

Xiao Wu is assertive, competitive, and direct. She establishes herself as the Seventh Dormitory’s boss through combat, challenges Zhang Tianyu to continued sparring after losing, and remains eager to improve. 4 8 10

She also retains an innocent and naive side: Zhang Tianyu’s crude language makes her blush, and she is openly curious about unfamiliar things such as the Rose Hotel’s romantic suite and Shrek Academy. 6 16 When she believes someone may be concealing wrongdoing, however, her old “big-sister” demeanor resurfaces and she pushes to confront them. 162

Her devotion to Zhang Tianyu grows into fear of losing him. She is willing to expose her soul-beast identity, accept the danger that follows, and openly confess her love. 179 297 301
