Power Progression

Background / History

Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit who has taken human form to cultivate anew. Han Qiu knows her true nature, while Tang San does not investigate the unexplained origin of her Hundred-Year Soul Ring 21 31 32 33.

At Nuoding Academy, she becomes the leader of the work-study students in Dorm Seven. Before meeting Han Qiu, she has already defeated Tang San in a match; Tang San subsequently tells her that his fellow villager is even stronger 21 29.

Appearance

Xiao Wu is a young, slender girl with fair, rosy skin and large, bright eyes. She wears plain but neat clothing 21 34.

• Hair: Long black hair woven into a scorpion braid reaching her hips 21.
• Martial Soul possession: A pair of long rabbit ears rises from her head 31.
• Build: Her supple body allows her to perform difficult grappling maneuvers 33 34.

Personality

Xiao Wu is lively, outspoken, and intensely competitive. Warnings about Han Qiu’s strength only increase her determination to challenge him. She also insists on defeating him before taking over as the senior students’ boss, arguing that an unearned position would be unfair and would not secure their genuine submission 21 32.

Her confidence can turn into stubborn defiance: after Han Qiu neutralizes her grappling, she challenges him to test her evasive skills instead. Nevertheless, she openly concedes once his restrained punch demonstrates how severely she is outmatched 34 35.

She is also perceptive in combat. While other spectators believe Tang San has trapped Han Qiu, she suspects that he will not be subdued so easily 33.
