Prior to turning professional, Xu began playing in minor-ranking Asian Players Tour Championship from age 15, and his first appearance at a ranking event was in the wildcard round of the 2014 Shanghai Masters where he was whitewashed 5-0 by Ryan Day.[2] He also made a wildcard appearance at the 2016 World Open where he defeated veteran James Wattana 5-3 or progress to the last 64, where he lost in the next round against Daniel Wells.[3] He made a further appearance at the 2016 Shanghai Masters wildcard round where he lost 5-1 to Michael Holt. He then won two matches at the 2016 International Championship, defeating professionals Wang Yuchen at the wildcard stage, and two-time world champion Mark Williams in the last 64 before losing to Wattana in the last 32.[4] He lost out in the first round of qualifying for the 2017 World Snooker Championship, losing 10-5 to Rod Lawler.

In August 2016 Xu won the 2016 IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship by defeating Alexander Ursenbacher 6-5 after being 5-3 down.[5][6] This victory earned him a two-year World Snooker Tour card.[7] His first professional match was in qualifying for the 2017 Riga Masters where he lost 4-2 to Robbie Williams.
