History
The shoes unlocked after Xiao Wu accepted Xiao Yao as her older brother, raising her intimacy to 20. The Wordless Heavenly Book instructed him to give them to her. Xiao Yao presented them as a welcoming gift and personally fitted them on her, replacing her round-toed leather shoes 1.
While explaining their protection, Xiao Yao specifically mentioned transformed hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts. This revealed to Xiao Wu that he already knew her true identity. After he promised to protect her, she explained that the shoes relieved her fear of encountering a Titled Douluo while seeking the human contact necessary for her cultivation 1 2.
The shoes later appeared alongside the Mind-Concentrating Rabbit Ears as components of Xiao Wu’s complete Martial Soul Evolution Set. The Heavenly Book’s subsequent record explicitly confirmed that both accessories had originally belonged to that set 13 23.
Appearance
- Design: Girls’ dance shoes with pink, three-centimeter heels at their introduction 1.
- Heel shape: Sharp enough for Xiao Yao to recommend incorporating them into kicking attacks 3.
- Later depiction: Xiao Wu wears red high-heeled dance shoes during her tournament match against Gu Sanshui, differing from the introductory pink description 12.
Abilities & Skills
Aura Concealment
The Heavenly Book describes the shoes as capable of concealing every trace of the wearer’s aura 1.
- According to Xiao Yao, even an ordinary wearer could evade a high-level Soul Master’s search 1.
- He states that a transformed hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast could move freely beneath the notice of both Soul Douluos and Titled Douluos 1.
- For Xiao Wu, this protection addresses the danger of being recognized as a transformed Soul Beast while living among humans 2.
Resistance to Soul Ring Restrictions
The shoes also help resist the pressure enforcing Soul Ring age limits 2.
- Xiao Wu condenses a five-hundred-year first Soul Ring, exceeding the stated normal human limit of 423 years 2.
- She attributes the breakthrough to the shoes resisting some of that pressure, revealing a function beyond their initial aura-concealment description 2.
- Through Xiao Yao’s contract with her, his first Soul Ring consequently changes from white to the same deep yellow as hers 2.
Combat Use
- Xiao Yao suggests that Xiao Wu combine her long, powerful legs with the shoes’ sharp heels rather than rely on close-contact grappling 3.
- Against the Wild Vajra Ape, she aims a Waist Bow-enhanced flying kick at its eyes. The narration states that a solid hit from her sharp heel would blind it, but the beast neutralizes the attack 18.
Set Membership
- Associated component: Mind-Concentrating Rabbit Ears 13 23.
- Complete-set effect: Temporarily evolves Xiao Wu’s Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul into the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit 14.
- Storage: The complete set can be hidden inside her body like a Soul Bone and summoned when needed 14.
- Further shielding: The Martial Soul Upgrade Set strengthens the shielding of heavenly secrets, allowing Xiao Wu’s second Soul Ring to exceed its limit and reach 999 years. This achievement is attributed to the set rather than the shoes alone 13.
