Background / History

Human-Form Recultivation

Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who has taken human form to restart cultivation. Lin Mo knows her true identity and deliberately avoids becoming deeply involved with her, believing its exposure would provoke bloodshed across the continent 7. He later recalls her stated intention to avenge her mother, while questioning whether her leisurely academy life serves that goal 32.

Becoming Dorm Seven’s Boss

Xiao Wu enters Nuoding Academy as one of three new work-study students alongside Tang San and Lin Mo. When Tang San explains that the strongest newcomer can become Dorm Seven’s leader, she immediately challenges him. She throws him using a leg-lock technique, wins his concession, and asks the students to call her “Sister Xiao Wu” rather than “boss” 6 7.

Teacher Mo Hen assigns the three newcomers to clean the garden south of the playground for ten Copper Soul Coins a day. After Tang San later defeats Xiao Chenyu, Xiao Chenyu’s group takes over the work-study students’ chores while they continue receiving their wages 7 8 9.

Lin Mo’s Secret

When Lin Mo reveals that his egg Martial Soul has hatched, Xiao Wu pledges Dorm Seven’s support in keeping it secret until the final examinations. She invokes solidarity among the work-study students and threatens anyone who might undermine his opportunity to obtain a better Soul Ring 12.

After Tang San admits revealing the secret to Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu openly criticizes him for breaking their promise without asking Lin Mo. The incident creates a rift even in her otherwise close relationship with Tang San 19 20.

During Lin Mo’s later celebration meal, she stops the students from continuing their complaints about Tang San and urges them not to spoil the occasion 29 30.

Appearance

• Scorpion braid: Her most consistently noted physical feature; she is also shown fiddling with it while talking 6 19.
• Large, clear eyes: Frequently emphasized when she expresses curiosity, excitement, or displeasure 8 12 13.
• Childlike human appearance: Introduced as a little girl despite her true identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast 6 7.

Personality

Xiao Wu is outgoing, competitive, and comfortable asserting authority. She introduces herself without shyness, enthusiastically accepts the leadership challenge, and enjoys her position as Dorm Seven’s boss. Her leadership includes confronting Xiao Chenyu’s group on behalf of the work-study students 6 7 8.

She values promises and group loyalty. Tang San’s disclosure of Lin Mo’s secret troubles her because everyone had explicitly agreed to keep it; his claim of good intentions does not excuse acting without permission in her eyes 12 20.

Her curiosity can make her impulsive. She tries to touch both Lin Mo’s egg and the newly hatched Charmander, but learns to restrain herself after narrowly avoiding Charmander’s flames 7 13 30.

She dislikes academic lessons, particularly learning to read, despite already understanding much of the Martial Soul and Soul Beast material. She spends considerable time playing with fellow students and exploring Nuoding City with Tang San—habits Lin Mo regards as wasting her cultivation talent 9 32.

Abilities & Skills

Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul

Her Beast Martial Soul supports a fighting style centered on flexibility and speed rather than raw strength 31 34.

• Its physical enhancement ranks in the lower-middle range among Beast Martial Souls; it is not a strength-type Martial Soul 31.
• She possesses a hundred-year first Soul Ring, though its associated Soul Skill is not identified in the provided chapters 9.

Soft Techniques and Close-Quarters Combat

Xiao Wu uses supple limbs, grappling, and an opponent’s momentum to execute throws 6 7.

• Leg-lock throw: Escapes Tang San’s grip, hooks his shoulder, wraps her legs around his neck, and uses his forward momentum to throw him 6.
• Controlled force: Holds back during their first match, leaving Tang San without serious injury 7.
• Established superiority over Tang San: Their later sparring matches reinforce the work-study students’ judgment that she is stronger than him 30.
• Limits against Lin Mo: Attempts to bypass Charmander and subdue Lin Mo directly fail because his reactions and ability to respond exceed her expectations. She loses their academy sparring matches 34.

Soul Beast Knowledge and Cultivation Foundation

Her previous existence as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast gives her knowledge and discernment beyond those of an ordinary student 9 31.

• Recognizes mistakes in teachers’ Soul Beast lessons but avoids correcting them for fear of exposing her identity 9.
• Masters the academy’s basic meditation method earlier than Lin Mo; her recultivation foundation supports exceptional cultivation speed even without it 9.
• Judges Charmander’s flames to be unusually hot even compared with those of fire-attribute Soul Beast cubs in the Star Dou Great Forest 31.

Relationships

• Tang San — Roommate and close companion. After defeating him for leadership, she places her bed beside his and agrees to share his quilt. They later explore Nuoding City together, though his breach of Lin Mo’s confidence damages her trust 7 20 32.
• Lin Mo — Fellow work-study student whom she supports as Dorm Seven’s boss. She agrees to cover for his nighttime cultivation and defend his secret; he nevertheless keeps his distance because of her hidden identity. She later becomes his sparring opponent and repeatedly loses 7 9 12 34.
• Wang Sheng — Dormmate who explains academy life to the newcomers. She threatens to give him a beating when he asks whether she or Lin Mo is stronger 7 30.
• Xiao Chenyu — Rival student whom she repeatedly beats under the pretext of sparring. By the celebration dinner, a glare and raised fist are enough to make him retreat 8 30.
• Charmander — Initially attracts her enthusiastic attention, but responds to her attempted petting with a small burst of fire. She remains interested in him while becoming more cautious about touching him 13 14 30.
