Background

Xiao Wu enrolls at the Beginner Soul Master Academy alongside Tang San. When neither she nor Zhu Wu has bedding, she refuses to go shopping after the journey and instead approaches Tang San about sharing his supplies. She and Tang San later share a bed, establishing the closeness that defines their relationship. 12

Though living as a human, Xiao Wu is a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. Da Ming and Er Ming urge her to remain safely in the Star Dou Great Forest until she matures, but she chooses to return to the human world, believing there are things she can only learn and accomplish there. Before she leaves, she consumes Star Concealing Grass, which conceals her soul beast aura. 111 467

Appearance

In human form, Xiao Wu is a petite, pretty girl with soft hair and a youthful appearance. Her transformed body returns to that of a Soft Bone Rabbit after Zhu Wu forcibly extracts her soul. 97 195 314

• Her eyes emit a pink glow when using Charm. 86 170
• Her combat style employs a scorpion-tail-like appendage to hook opponents during Waist Bow. 170
• Her hair is severely singed and disheveled by Huo Wu’s fire attacks during the Soul Master Competition. 484

Personality

Xiao Wu is direct, proud, and intensely competitive. She readily challenges opponents who look down on her, refuses to retreat when an opening for victory seems possible, and takes perceived slights personally. Her recklessness repeatedly places her at a disadvantage against stronger or better-prepared opponents. 86 195 199 484

She is also fiercely loyal to Tang San and deeply sympathetic toward soul beasts. After hearing of the Thousand Jun Ant King’s death, she asks Tang San not to hunt or torture soul beasts indiscriminately; he promises to target only especially evil and aggressive ones. 192

Even while publicly imprisoned and threatened, Xiao Wu remains defiant, insisting Tang San will avenge her. That resolve collapses into fear when Zhu Wu extracts her soul and returns her body to rabbit form. 269 314
