Bai Xiaoxiao

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Looks and bearing: Described as beautiful and poised, with an elegant manner and clear eyes 141 220.
• Spirit Wings: Pale white, tending toward gray 177.

Personality

Bai Xiaoxiao combines battlefield composure with a playful, teasing manner. She readily notices romantic tensions that Yang Tian overlooks, jokes about his relationships, and enjoys seeing the normally capable commander at a loss 132 177 183.

Her calm judgment becomes especially important during a crisis. After Yang Tian is presumed dead, she is the teammate best able to organize the others, preserve the squad, and turn their grief toward cultivation and revenge 166.

She is proud of her summoning talent without being unaware of its limits. Defeating Yang Tian in a summoning-only contest delights her, but she acknowledges that concentrating on summoning prevents her from matching his simultaneous battlefield awareness and command abilities. Much later, she also recognizes that advancing too quickly is not necessarily beneficial 140 205 495.

Her complaints about dangerous missions do not outweigh her loyalty. When the squad faces overwhelming Demon Gods at Imperial Dragon Pass, she refuses to abandon anyone and offers to help open an escape route for Jiaoxin 176 346.

Abilities & Skills

Summoning

Bai Xiaoxiao specializes in calling demon beasts stronger than herself, using both established beast contracts and techniques such as the Gate of Living Beings and Tier-Advancing Summoning 117 207 258.

• Above-tier combat power: By the sixth rank, she can summon eighth-order combatants and call a ninth-rank beast for an emergency escape 229.
• Multiple summons: Rapidly opens successive Gates of Living Beings to create a defensive line against an assassin 258.
• Improving speed and reliability: Her fused spirit furnace and summoning scepter allow her to call a ninth-rank beast quickly during the King-Rank assessment; with more preparation, she can summon tenth-rank beasts 291.
• Late-stage speed: At the Holy Temple Grand Competition, she instantaneously summons a tenth-rank Shadow Demon Leopard 483.
• Early limitations: Powerful summons initially require lengthy preparation, consume substantial mental power, and may be unstable 117 119.
• Advanced instruction: Chen Hongyu teaches her eighth-order and Forbidden Curse-level summoning techniques 371.

Documented Summoned Beasts

Beast ranks below describe the summons, not Bai Xiaoxiao’s own cultivation.

Spirit Infusion

A fifth-tier summoner secret technique that enhances every aspect of a summoned beast’s power, raising it to the next level 144.

• Uses it on her blade-armed beast during a team battle 144.
• Combines beast enhancement with her butterfly’s support to make otherwise lower-ranked summons substantially more dangerous 258.

Myriad Beasts Cauldron

A Second-Level Spirit Furnace, described as worthy of ranking among the Soul Temple’s top three. Its appeal lies in the possibility of deploying enormous numbers of demon beasts 269.

• Acquisition: Yang Tian gives it to her in Dream Paradise; she endures its initial fusion trial 269.
• Further fusion: Later fuses it with another spirit furnace. The resulting furnace improves the speed and smoothness of her powerful summons 278 291.
• Backlash: Yang Tian warns her to use it sparingly because its power carries a serious price 272.
• Countermeasures: He recommends reaching the ninth tier, exceeding 300,000 spiritual power, and obtaining a domain to restrain the backlash. He later gives her the Myriad Beasts Fruit specifically to improve her talent and counter the furnace’s drawback 272 342.

Command and Battlefield Analysis

Bai Xiaoxiao serves as the squad’s operational leader whenever Yang Tian acts separately 182 205.

• Tactical judgment: Tian Qing considers her wise, calm, and particularly well suited to commanding a Demon Hunt Squad 296.
• Mission management: Selects sixteen missions around Demon-Exorcism Pass and investigates the procedures for the squad’s King-Rank assessment 210 212 284.
• Resource management: Controls the squad’s purse, negotiates shares of battle spoils, and receives Andromalius’s body and Demon God’s Crown for distribution 269 316.
• Command limitation: Cannot maintain Yang Tian’s level of battlefield oversight while also devoting her attention to summoning 205.

Soul Strength and Perception

Her soul strength rises alongside her cultivation and is a major reason she can remain composed under pressure 133 166.

• Her soul power exceeds the seventh rank while her cultivation is still within the sixth rank 211 212.
• Notices changes to the size of Yang Tian’s estate through her perception 211.
• Even with strong soul power, cannot detect Yang Tian when he conceals himself at Myriad Beast Pass 371.

Equipment & Items

• Summoning Scepter — An upper-grade Glorious piece crafted by Yang Tian as payment for her acting-command duties. Its Tier-Advancing Summoning Crystal stabilizes summons and allows her to call beasts two ranks above herself. She expects it to remain useful through the eighth order 212.
• Myriad Beasts Cauldron — Second-Level Spirit Furnace, subsequently fused with another furnace 269 278.
• Myriad Beasts Fruit — A talent-enhancing spirit fruit given to address the cauldron’s backlash. After absorption, her innate internal spiritual power exceeds eighty 342 344.
• Epic Grade Equipment — Possesses at least one piece during the Dark Swamp expedition 313.
• Soul Ring — identified, purchase not confirmed — Finds it priced at 600,000 merit points and explains that it reduces summoning time by nearly sixty percent 507.

Relationships

• Yang Tian — Commander, student in summoning, and principal supporter of her advancement. He formally appoints her acting commander, crafts her scepter, and gives her the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and talent-enhancing fruit. Although she sometimes resents his behavior, she remains loyal to him and regards him as the squad’s source of security 132 166 205 212 269 342 371.
• Li Ang — Teammate and persistent suitor. She initially finds his pursuit irritating and later recognizes his devotion, but ultimately does not accept him because he is not her type 166 207 371 462.
• Chen Hongyu — Teacher and Soul Temple master. Grants her the position of deputy temple master and teaches her advanced summoning. She nevertheless challenges his attempt to prevent Chen Ying’er’s Demon Hunt Squad from reassembling 370 371.
• Lan Ruyu — Best friend and fellow teammate. Supports Bai Xiaoxiao during her summoning contest and helps her recover after spirit-furnace fusion 207 278.
• Lin Qingqing — Teammate whom she comforts after Yang Tian’s apparent death. Recognizes the importance of Qingqing’s healing and spiritual-power recovery despite her limited offense 166 204.
• Hanyu — Fellow teammate. Purchases the Glorious Grade Cold Beauty Dagger for her with squad merit points 204.
• Jiaoxin — Yang Tian’s wife, whom Bai Xiaoxiao likes and accepts as a companion. At Imperial Dragon Pass, she urges Jiaoxin to escape while the squad attempts to open a path 227 346.
• Long Haochen — Allied commander who trusts her to take over battlefield command. Cooperates with him during joint missions and later helps coordinate the competition’s planned results 296 306 499.
• Yang Wenzhao — Competition opponent and Chen Ying’er’s fiancé. Defeats him, helps him stand, and encourages him not to abandon his efforts to catch up 483.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early Squad Development

Bai Xiaoxiao’s early contribution centers on support and powerful summons that require her teammates to protect her during preparation. She becomes the team’s second fifth-tier professional, then agrees to teach Yang Tian summoning and accompanies him to the Soul Temple for a soul test. Their later summoning-only spar ends in her victory 119 121 132 133 140.

Preserving General Rank No. 16

After the squad finds what it believes to be Yang Tian’s remains, Bai Xiaoxiao argues against disbanding. She proposes using the red fruit he obtained to grow strong enough to avenge him, and the five surviving teammates swear to remain together. Their subsequent months of cultivation and dangerous battles bring them into the sixth rank before Yang Tian returns 166 176.

Yang Tian later attempts to hand over permanent command, but Bai Xiaoxiao refuses. The compromise establishes her as acting commander during his absences, leaving her responsible for missions and much of the squad’s everyday organization 203 205 210.

Zhennan Pass and Dream Paradise

At Zhennan Pass, Bai Xiaoxiao commands the squad through street fighting and participates in its confrontation with an Eighth Order Star Demon. She then qualifies for Dream Paradise, where Yang Tian gives her the Myriad Beasts Cauldron. Its acquisition and subsequent fusion greatly improve her summoning potential 248 249 258 260 269 278.

King-Rank Missions and the Dark Swamp

Bai Xiaoxiao passes her assessment with a ninth-rank summon as the squad becomes King-Rank No. 19. During the following expedition, Yang Tian subdues the Three-Legged Crow and forces it to contract with her. She also coordinates ambush plans with Tian Qing and Long Haochen 291 295 296.

In the Dark Swamp, she takes command while Long Haochen scouts, summons a Lightning Leopard against the sawfish, and contributes the Three-Legged Crow and an Ancient White Tiger to the battle against Andromalius. Yang Tian entrusts her with distributing the defeated Demon God’s remains and crown 306 311 316.

Eighth-Order Breakthrough and Fortress Defense

After absorbing the Myriad Beasts Fruit and entering secluded cultivation, Bai Xiaoxiao reaches the eighth order and leads her teammates to reinforce Imperial Dragon Pass. There, even her strongest summons prove insufficient against two powerful Demon Gods, and the squad is pushed to the brink of death 342 344 345 346 347.

At Myriad Beast Pass, her battlefield performance earns Chen Hongyu’s recognition, discipleship, and appointment as deputy temple master. She subsequently defends the right of Long Haochen’s squad to reunite when Chen Hongyu tries to delay its assembly 370 371.

Holy Temple Grand Competition

Bai Xiaoxiao returns from extended missions at the ninth tier, third level. By the competition, she exceeds 400,000 spiritual power and ranks second only to Yang Tian within their squad 456 474.

Her tenth-rank Three-Legged Crow forces an Emperor Assassin to concede without reaching her. She later defeats Yang Wenzhao with an enhanced Shadow Demon Leopard, advances to the sixth round, and deliberately loses to the bald contestant as part of the squads’ plan to control the final points and share first place 475 483 499.
