Power Progression
Xiao Bai develops through Yu Chen’s cultivation and soul rings; the numbered soul-power levels below belong to Yu Chen, not to a separate cultivation rank of her own.
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Initial detached martial soul | 3 5 6 | Retains an independent consciousness and innate fire control before obtaining a soul ring. Yu Chen initially has level-ten soul power. |
| Rest technique | 3 4 | Yu Chen teaches her Rest. Gu Yuena subsequently sleeps for three days and discovers that the technique has eased her true body’s injuries. |
| First soul ring — Wind Element | 12 13 26 | Swallows the Gale Griffin’s yellow, six-hundred-year soul ring. Unlocks wind control, including Hurricane, Flight, and Wind Speed. |
| Self-created technique — Sunny Day | 14 | Combines fire with controlled wind currents to retain and accumulate heat, culminating in a large explosion. |
| Blue Silver Emperor soul-bone benefit | 21 22 46 | Encourages Yu Chen to absorb the hundred-thousand-year right leg bone. His soul power rises to level twenty-nine, while Gu Yuena’s true body receives a small trace of wood-type energy. |
| Second soul ring — Earth Element | 26 31 40 | Absorbs the Rock-Earth Dragon Turtle’s ring. Gains earth control; her strength, speed, and spiritual power improve considerably, with little change in size. |

| Four basic elements complete | 47 | With fire, wind, earth, and water available, she strengthens Yu Chen’s weather techniques and states that she can trigger Elemental Tide at full effort. |
Background / History
Naming and the Connection to Gu Yuena
Yu Chen mistakes the newly hatched dragon for a Pokémon and names her Xiao Bai. He treats her as a partner to raise and train, unaware that her angry cries come from Gu Yuena. Although Xiao Bai is his martial soul, she possesses an independent soul and personality 3.
During three months of training, Gu Yuena discovers that the Golden Dragon King is also represented by Yu Chen’s second martial soul. She initially despairs that both dragon kings’ power is restricted by his cultivation. Returning to her body at the Lake of Life does not free her: she still hears him calling for Xiao Bai 3.
After Rest helps her injuries, Gu Yuena orders Di Tian to find and protect Yu Chen. Her initial plan is to nurture him and eventually devour his soul. Later, she anticipates fully merging with the martial soul after he reaches godhood, potentially gaining the strength to fight the Asura God 4 13.
Nuoding Academy
Xiao Bai nearly bites Yu Xiaogang when he attempts to touch her. She later breathes fire at him on Yu Chen’s secret command, allowing Yu Chen to use her apparent opposition as his excuse for refusing to become Yu Xiaogang’s disciple 4 5.
Her presence also exposes the gap between her harmless-looking body and her underlying identity. A single meeting of eyes makes Xiao Wu collapse under her pressure; Gu Yuena immediately recognizes her as a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit 7.
As Yu Chen experiments with Pokémon-inspired training, Xiao Bai supplies the elemental control needed to turn his ideas into working techniques. His persistence during the creation of Sunny Day persuades her to cooperate even when she initially intends to ignore him 13 14.
Journey to Heaven Dou City
Before leaving the village, Xiao Bai discovers a hidden chamber behind a waterfall and retrieves both Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor’s right leg bone. Gu Yuena recognizes the withered plant’s identity and reacts with anger at her condition 20 21.
After obtaining earth control, Xiao Bai helps Yu Chen and Ming Dashan confront a pack of Wolf Bandits. She kills isolated bandits during their ambushes, then defeats the leader through Dragon Dance and burns it to ashes. The encounter makes her reassess both Yu Chen’s inventiveness and the usefulness of close-range combat 32 34 35.
Her mental communication with Ah Yin reveals the location of the Blue Silver Forest. She guides Yu Chen there so he can plant Ah Yin in an environment better suited to recovery 39.
After the Xuanming Turtle’s ring completes her four basic elements, Xiao Bai quietly improves Yu Chen’s Pray for Rain during the Ghost Leopard hunt. The resulting support helps Ming Dashan obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring and become a Soul King 45 46 47.
Appearance
Xiao Bai is a small, slender silver dragon, initially able to perch on Yu Chen’s head or shoulder 4 6 31.
- Scales: Fine, smooth, silvery-white scales; Yu Chen compares their feel to warm jade 14 20.
- Eyes: Purple eyes with slit pupils 12 13.
- Wings: Two thin, translucent wings that scatter small motes of light when beating 31.
- Growth: More than doubles in size over two and a half years, reaching a wingspan of over one meter 20.
- Weight: Surprisingly heavy despite her small appearance 13.
- Expressions: Displays recognizable pride, resentment, delight, and even a humanlike smile 11 35 46.
Personality
Xiao Bai retains Gu Yuena’s pride and awareness of her divine identity. She resents being treated like a pet, particularly when Yu Chen pats her bottom or questions her intelligence. Her protests often take the form of angry cries, attempted bites, or threatening gestures 3 11 35 39.
She initially dismisses ordinary soul beasts and crude physical fighting as beneath her. Yu Chen’s ability to copy, adapt, and combine techniques gradually earns her genuine admiration. After Dragon Dance defeats the Wolf Bandit leader, she admits to herself that overpowering enemies at close range can be satisfying 11 33 35.
Despite her dignity, she enjoys sweets and prefers them to soul beast meat. Yu Chen’s homemade cakes can immediately soften her mood, including after he wrongly accuses her of stealing soul-ring energy 8 46.
Abilities & Skills
Detached Martial Soul
Xiao Bai functions as an independent individual rather than possessing Yu Chen’s body 21 43.
- Yu Chen can summon or recall her immediately, including to interrupt an attempted attack 4.
- Remaining outside his body continuously consumes his soul power. He uses that expenditure-and-recovery cycle to train his reserves 20 43.
- She maintains their connection over several kilometers and later travels to a waterfall roughly forty or fifty kilometers from Zonghun Village 20 21.
- Her combat output depends on Yu Chen’s available soul power, despite her divine knowledge of elemental control 15 33.
- They cannot read each other’s thoughts. Ordinary communication requires speech and her cries or gestures, although Yu Chen can mentally direct martial-soul actions 5 21.
Soul-Ring Absorption
Xiao Bai swallows soul rings and channels their energy into Yu Chen 12 26 45.
- The process strengthens both her martial-soul body and Yu Chen’s physical body 26.
- Ming Dashan initially explains their unusually high ring limits as the two sharing the strain 26.
- Jin Ying later observes that Xiao Bai absorbs the energy first and bears most of the burden before converting it into Yu Chen’s soul power 46.
- Her exceptional quality also means greater energy requirements during later cultivation 46.
Elemental Control
Gu Yuena’s divine-soul fragment supplies instinctive mastery once the corresponding element becomes available. Wind Blade, Wind Shield, and flight do not require conventional training 13.
| Element | Source | Documented uses |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Innate 5 | Flame Attack; burns a tree more than ten meters away before her first ring and later melts iron 8 35. |
| Wind | Gale Griffin’s first soul ring 12 13 | Hurricane, Flight, Wind Speed, wind blades, and wind shields 13. |
| Earth | Second soul ring 26 40 | Combines with wind in Sandstorm; Yu Chen also uses Stone Edge to kill the Xuanming Turtle 35 45. |
| Water | Xuanming Turtle’s third soul ring 45 46 | Hydro Pump and the wind–water combination Pray for Rain 46 47. |
| Wood | Benefit from Yu Chen’s Blue Silver Emperor soul bone 21 46 | A small trace reaches Gu Yuena’s true body; no distinct wood attack is documented 46. |
- Hurricane: An area attack powerful enough to throw Tang San across the training arena 16.
- Flight: Can carry Yu Chen while he holds her feet. Early use lasts only a few minutes because of its high soul-power cost 13.
- Wind Speed: Initially increases her speed by 100% for a short time; can also envelop Yu Chen to improve his movement 13 17.
- Limit: Before gaining water control, she cannot create that element from nothing, even with the Blue Silver King’s offered energy 40.
Weather Techniques
Yu Chen devises these elemental combinations; Xiao Bai executes and later enhances them 14 35 47.
| Technique | Elements | Effects and limits |
|---|---|---|
| Sunny Day | Fire + wind | Recirculates escaping heat to intensify flames. Its first large-scale use produces a red mushroom cloud; charging takes time, nearly exhausts Yu Chen, and threatens bystanders 14. |
| Sandstorm | Wind + earth | Disrupts enemy senses while strengthening earth-type attacks. Requires continuous soul power 34 35. |
| Pray for Rain | Water + wind | Strengthens water attacks by 100%, suppresses fire attacks by 50%, and guarantees electric attacks hit. Struck enemies lose 50% speed and consume 50% more soul power 47. |
- By completing the four basic elements, Xiao Bai doubles Pray for Rain’s support effects through her own intervention 47.
- She states that Sunny Day and Sandstorm will likewise have doubled support effects when Yu Chen uses them again 47.
- Pray for Rain also enhances ice attacks, allowing Han Bing’s attack power to roughly double during the Ghost Leopard hunt 47.
Dragon Dance
Dragon Dance combines aerial evasion with progressively accumulating attack power 34 35.
- Yu Chen adapts Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track into flight movements that anticipate attacks and evade at the last moment 34 35.
- He incorporates Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer principles so Xiao Bai stores momentum while turning between strikes 34 35.
- Successive passes become faster and stronger 35.
- In its first real battle, she repeatedly wounds the Wolf Bandit leader and breaks both its forearms before finishing it with fire 34 35.
Elemental Tide
Elemental Tide mobilizes primordial elemental energy to trigger explosions of soul power, rather than relying on ordinary elemental suppression relationships 47.
- Requires the four basic elements of fire, wind, earth, and water 13 47.
- Gu Yuena recalls that, during the Divine Realm battle, no opponent below First-Level God could withstand it 13.
- After acquiring water, Xiao Bai states that she can trigger it by exerting her full strength; she does not demonstrate it in the supplied passages 47.
- She describes it as impossible to block or evade 47.
Perception and Communication
- Aerial scouting: Can survey the ground from a thousand meters in the air 31.
- Treasure detection: Finds the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone despite its enclosure in a Black Iron Box that blocks spiritual probing 21.
- Soul-beast identification: Recognizes Xiao Wu’s true species and age, Ah Yin’s identity, and the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline within Luo Sanpao 5 7 21.
- Animal communication: Communicates with soul beasts and ordinary animals, enabling her to ask for directions 39.
- Mental communication with Ah Yin: Learns the location of the Blue Silver Forest directly from her 39.
- Intimidation: Her gaze makes Xiao Wu collapse; Jin Ying also senses faint pressure from her 7 45.
Rest
- Yu Chen’s taught recovery technique eases Gu Yuena’s injuries after three days of sleep 3 4.
- Gu Yuena later identifies Rest, Dragon Dance, and a small trace of wood energy as the benefits her true body has received from her connection to Yu Chen 46.
Relationships
- Yu Chen — Martial-soul host and training partner. He mistakes her for a Pokémon and remains unaware of her true identity; she grows increasingly impressed by his self-created techniques 3 13 35.
- Di Tian — Gu Yuena’s subordinate, ordered to protect Yu Chen. He recognizes the divine-soul fragment within Xiao Bai and studies the mechanics behind Sunny Day 4 15.
- Ming Dashan — Yu Chen’s mentor and frequent combat ally. He helps obtain her soul rings and praises her speed during the Wolf Bandit ambushes 11 26 33.
- Ah Yin — A fellow soul beast whom Xiao Bai retrieves from the waterfall chamber. Their mental communication guides Yu Chen to the Blue Silver Forest 21 39.
- Yu Xiaogang — An unwanted prospective teacher. Xiao Bai attempts to bite him and attacks him on Yu Chen’s command during the disciple discussion 4 5.
- Xiao Wu — A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit whom Xiao Bai recognizes and suppresses with her gaze, then dismisses as unworthy of further attention 7.
- Tang San — Yu Chen’s sparring opponent and the unwitting source of the techniques adapted into Dragon Dance 16 34 35.
- Golden Dragon King — Represented by Yu Chen’s second martial soul. Gu Yuena recognizes him but disdains his reliance on brute force 3 33.
