Xu Xiaoshan
Xu Xiaoshan is a high-status Blood Stream Sect Chosen whose ordinary latent talent is offset by his founding-patriarch ancestry and abundance of magical items. War turns the pampered disciple into an enthusiastic frontline combatant. (Chapters 142–165, 247–305, and 350)
Biography
From silkpants Chosen to battlefield companion
Xu enters the Fallen Sword Abyss as a direct descendant of the Blood Stream Sect's founding patriarch, notorious for a silkpants temperament and seemingly endless magical items. He reaches Earthstring Foundation Establishment and remains part of the sect's elite generation. During the Profound Stream war, he joins Bai Xiaochun's mixed force, embraces Bai's dangerous glowing poison spheres with exceptional enthusiasm, and helps Beihan Lie, Jia Lie, and Master God-Diviner fight their way back to Bai. The campaign earns him fame and camaraderie that his ancestry alone could not provide. (Chapters 142–165 and 247–305)
His final centered appearance returns to comedy: he loudly complains that, despite considering himself one of the sect's most handsome men, nobody has sent him a love letter. The corpus gives no later fate or cultivation progression. (Chapter 350)
Appearance and personality
Xu calls himself exceptionally handsome, but the text offers no stable independent description. He begins spoiled and status-conscious, then proves brave, adaptable, boastful, and delighted by unconventional weapons. (Chapters 142, 295–297, and 350)
Abilities and cultivation
He reaches Earthstring Foundation Establishment, carries many magical items, recognizes Corpse Peak plague smoke, and becomes proficient in deploying Bai's poison and hallucination spheres. No personal signature technique is fully described. (Chapters 142–165 and 295–305)
Relationships
- Bai Xiaochun: Former cross-sect rival and later commander whose weapons and battlefield style Xu enthusiastically adopts. (Chapters 295–305)
- Beihan Lie: Fellow Earthstring cultivator and wartime companion with whom Xu trades boasts. (Chapters 156 and 295–305)
