Physical Description
Xie Xie presents the image of a wealthy and fashionable youth, with his attire reflecting his affluent background and his appearance complemented by distinct accessories. He frequently wears expensive clothes that he keeps stored in a personal soul storage device, and he notably sports a golden dragon tassel earring that resonates with his martial soul. His physical features beyond these details are not extensively described, but his overall style conveys a sense of refined extravagance.
Following the absorption of the Thousand Shadow Light Dragon Beast External Skull Bone, Xie Xie gained a pair of golden dragon horns and, during activation, diamond-shaped golden dragon eyes. His subsequent transformations can also produce black jade or dark-golden horns, dragon scales, wings, and armor. After his Space-Time Dragon Blade awakening, his hair turned white and his bearing became notably restrained and ancient 105 106 271 304.
Following his disappearance at Dragon Valley and eventual return, Xie Xie had matured into a white-haired, golden-eyed young man whose aura was increasingly close to that of the Dragon God. When he manifests as the New Dragon God, he becomes a giant prison-black dragon marked by gilded patterns, radiating a divine draconic pressure that surpasses ordinary dragon bloodlines 398 435.
- Hair Color: Originally brown; turns white during the Space-Time Dragon Blade awakening. His Light-Dark Coexistence shadow clone has black hair 239 271 328.
- Eye Color: His normal eyes are dark green; after his dual-dragon evolution, his left eye can display intertwined dark green and gold while his right becomes blood-red. His eyes may also become molten gold during Light Dragon transformations, Space-Time Dragon Blade activation, and later Dragon God-related transformations 30 105 193 271 398.
- Height: Not explicitly specified in the provided context.
- Notable Accessories: A golden dragon tassel earring, crafted by Tang Wulin from hundred-refined metal, which resonates with Xie Xie's martial soul 71. He also possesses a soul storage device containing a variety of expensive clothes 21.
- Distinctive Marks: A tattoo of entwined golden and black-red dragons manifested on his back following his deep-sea transformation 323.
- Dragon Forms: His Dragon God Transformation manifests nine-colored glazed scales, immense silver-white wings streaked with seven-colored light, and dragon claws. His later New Dragon God form is a black-gold giant dragon with a pressure recognized by Gu Yue as that of a new Dragon God 259 435.
Background and History
Originally a soul from an unknown world, Xie Xie transmigrated into the body of his future self in the world of Douluo Dalu, an event orchestrated by the mysterious Space-Time Dragon 1 23. Upon arrival, he found himself enrolled at Eastsea Academy, where his first day was marked by a physical altercation with Tang Wulin after accidentally stepping on a flower embroidered on a quilt 1. The fight resulted in both being punished, with Xie Xie assigned to Class Five alongside Yun Xiao and Zhou Changxi 1. Despite the rocky start, Xie Xie quickly integrated into academy life and began to form bonds with his classmates, particularly Tang Wulin, who later apologized for his impulsiveness 1 3.
The transmigration came with an overwhelming influx of memories from his past life and the original owner’s experiences, including those of Lin Wanqing, causing an emotional breakdown that led Xie Xie to flee and weep 23. At that moment, the Space-Time Dragon revealed itself, explaining that it had brought Xie Xie’s soul to this world and that his soul had perfectly integrated with the body, making him the true Xie Xie 23. With this understanding, Xie Xie underwent a mental breakthrough, accepting his new identity and regaining his confidence 24. The Space-Time Dragon also imparted that his future was a blank slate with infinite possibilities, tasking him with changing the course of events 24.
Xie Xie’s history at Eastsea Academy is marked by remarkable developments and events. His martial soul, Light Dragon, gestated two unique spirit souls—Light Cub and Shadow Cub—an unprecedented phenomenon requiring secrecy 31. He demonstrated extraordinary courage and skill in the Spirit Ascension Platform, defeating a Man Faced Demon Spider at the cost of his own energy, earning recognition as a genius 65. Later assessments pitted him against a simulated Huo Yuhao with 70% of the original’s strength, showcasing his resilience despite being overwhelmed 95 96. His friendship with Tang Wulin and Gu Yue deepened, with the trio frequently exploring Eastsea City together 21. His empathetic nature also led him to bring a homeless boy, Yuan Ye, into his home 98.
Perhaps the most pivotal event was his accidental time travel four years into the past, where he found himself in his six-year-old body and saved a blind girl named Na’er from human traffickers 133 134. He brought Na’er home, where his mother Lin Wanqing welcomed her, and they decided to raise her as their own daughter 135. This experience not only solidified his role in altering the original timeline but also deepened his family bonds, though it was soon shadowed by Lin Wanqing falling into a sudden coma 137. Throughout these trials, Xie Xie continued to grow, accepting his identity and embracing the responsibility of changing his fate.
After entering Shrek Academy, Xie Xie became one of its foremost freshmen. Long Yeyue, the Light and Dark Douluo, accepted him as her true disciple after recognizing the ancient pure dragon origin in his bloodline and his potential to evolve Light and Dark Dragon King power. She promised to pass on her Yin-Yang Fusion Cultivation Method and named him a prospective successor for the Sea God Pavilion 150. He also joined the Mecha Manufacturing Association under Shen Zhuqiu and became a sixth-rank Mecha Manufacturer, enabling him to create battle armor for himself and his companions 185 306.
His later experiences include surviving an abduction incident through the intervention of his ancestor Xie Xiao, participating in inter-academy and continental competitions, and leading Shrek Academy’s team during the Star Luo Continental tournament 290 378. During the latter journey, he underwent a second awakening after a deep-sea trial, further awakening his draconic bloodline and transforming his martial soul capabilities 323 324. He subsequently developed into a powerful commander, battle armor master, and dragon-blooded soul master capable of communicating with and suppressing high-level dragon martial souls 375 378.
During the Star Luo tournament, Xie Xie defeated Long Yue and suppressed the latter’s Mountain Dragon King bloodline with the authority of the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King. When Long Yue’s martial soul fully lost control, Xie Xie entered its Spirit Sea and calmed it rather than allowing it to destroy the stadium 373 375. His power and influence earned him recognition as the youngest individual champion in the tournament’s history and the title of Imperial Viscount 413.
During the Dragon Valley mission, Xie Xie used the Space-Time Dragon Blade to confront an ambush by Evil Soul Masters and a catastrophic eighth-rank fixed soul-guided shell aimed at Dragon Valley 384 385. Under the influence of the Frost Sky Sword mark, he charged directly into the shell to prevent the destruction of Dragon Valley and disappeared in the resulting white light 387. Though his allies initially feared him dead, he eventually returned after a long absence as a Rank 68 Soul Emperor 390 398.
A fragment of the Dragon God’s origin fused with Xie Xie’s soul during this period, causing his aura to become increasingly indistinguishable from that of the Dragon God 398. He later fully transformed into the New Dragon God, no longer merely carrying the Dragon God’s origin but embodying it himself 435.
Martial Soul and Abilities
Light Dragon Blade
The Light Dragon Blade is one of Xie Xie’s twin martial souls, born from the evolution of his original Light Dragon Dagger. It embodies pure light-attribute power, characterized by a brilliant golden radiance and a domineering, sacred dragon might. As a symbiotic partner to the Shadow Dragon Blade, its soul skills are mirrored by its counterpart, and the two can be fused for greater effects. During his early Soul Grandmaster period, the blade possessed two century-level soul rings; its soul-ring configuration and skill set subsequently continued to grow with Xie Xie’s cultivation. The blade’s light-attribute soul power is especially effective against dark and shadow elements, and its presence can resonate with other dragon-type martial souls, amplifying or suppressing them depending on the wielder’s intent 10 30 31 35 55.
- First Soul Skill: Light Dragon Slash – A direct, high-speed cutting attack that channels golden light energy into a slashing arc. It is Xie Xie’s primary offensive skill, used to strike quickly and overwhelm opponents 35 129.
- Second Soul Skill: Light Dragon Storm – Unleashes a spiraling vortex of golden light that engulfs a wide area, combining offensive power with crowd control. This skill can be used independently or fused with the shadow version to create a Twin Dragon Storm 35 109.
- Third Soul Skill: Dragon Soul Armor – Calls upon Light Cub to form translucent white-and-gold Light Dragon Armor around Xie Xie. The armor greatly enhances his physical combat capacity and permits attacks such as the Glazed Light Dragon Claw 145 193.
- Glazed Light Dragon Claw – A powerful dragon-claw strike used while in Light Dragon Armor or related dragonized states. It can clash directly with powerful soul beasts and shatter defenses 145 252.
- Light Dragon Realm: World Purification – Xie Xie’s sixth soul skill, which summons Light Scale in a compact Light Dragon form. Golden particles shed from its scales heal injured allies and purify them with the Light Dragon King’s life-filled power 468.
- Derived and Fusion Potential – The Light Dragon Storm can be mirrored as a Shadow Dragon Storm on the Shadow Dragon Blade, and both storms can be combined into a powerful fusion skill, the Twin Dragon Storm, which blends light and shadow energies for devastating effect 35 109.
- Limitations – The Light Dragon Blade’s early soul skills were tied to Xie Xie’s soul ring configuration, initially giving him two basic skills per blade. Its higher-order abilities require the support of Light Cub, battle armor, or his advanced bloodline authority, and large-scale techniques can rapidly consume soul power 35 145 468.
Shadow Dragon Blade
The Shadow Dragon Blade is Xie Xie’s second twin martial soul, embodying dark, shadow-attribute power. It manifests with a deep black-red aura, cold and eerie, and its soul skills are direct mirrors of the Light Dragon Blade’s skills due to the symbiotic relationship between the two martial souls. The Shadow Dragon Blade excels in stealth, precision, and penetrating defenses, making it ideal for ambush tactics and debuffing opponents. Its shadow-attribute energy can strip and devour light-based abilities, and its soul-ring configuration grows in tandem with Xie Xie’s cultivation 30 31 35.
- First Soul Skill: Shadow Dragon Strike – A swift, shadow-infused thrust or slash that bypasses conventional defenses by phasing through light and solid matter. It is effective against armored or elemental barriers 35 129.
- Second Soul Skill: Shadow Dragon Storm – Generates a swirling vortex of dark energy that tears through enemies and obscures vision. As a mirror of Light Dragon Storm, it can be used independently or combined for fusion techniques 35 109.
- Shadow Binding Chains – Shadow-energy chains that erupt from the ground or extend from the Shadow Dragon Blade to restrain an opponent. They can be combined with Light Dragon Storm to establish a powerful confinement field 36 157 252.
- Shadow Dragon Break – A fourth-ring shadow attack used against Li Zhilong after Xie Xie combined speed, restraint, and dual-dragon pressure 252.
- Erosion Shadow Dragon Claw – A dark dragon-claw attack carrying annihilating power that can damage and crack strong defensive constructs 252.
- Dark Dragon King Pressure – The Shadow Dragon Blade’s Dark Dragon King bloodline can manifest as an immense black dragon phantom and impose absolute bloodline suppression on inferior dragon martial souls, including the Mountain Dragon King bloodline 346 373.
- Applications – The Shadow Dragon Blade’s skills are particularly useful for hit-and-run tactics and countering light-attribute opponents. Xie Xie often uses Shadow Dragon Strike to initiate combat, then follows up with Shadow Dragon Storm for area denial 129.
- Limitations – The shadow attribute is vulnerable to powerful light-based attacks and may be difficult to control when Shadow Moon’s Dark Dragon King will is provoked. Its higher-order techniques also place substantial pressure on Xie Xie’s body and soul power 35 346.
Fusion Skills
Xie Xie’s twin martial souls, being symbiotically fused, allow him to combine their soul skills into more powerful fusion techniques. These fusion skills are among his strongest abilities, but they demand precise control and can strain his body if used recklessly. He possesses two primary fusion skills: the Twin Dragon Storm and the more advanced Glazed Dragon Falls. Additionally, he has the soul skill Dragon Soul Resonance, which enables his spirit souls to manifest and fight independently 35 42 106 109 131.
- Twin Dragon Storm – A fusion of Light Dragon Storm and Shadow Dragon Storm, creating a massive, rotating cyclone of entwined golden and black-red energy. This skill covers a large area and deals combined light-shadow damage, making it difficult to defend against. Xie Xie demonstrated it in battle against Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan 109.
- Nirvana Dragon Blade – A combined attack in which Light Dragon Slash and Shadow Dragon Strike are used in tandem, concentrating both light and shadow into a single stronger blade technique 36 257.
- Twin Dragon Soul-Locking Storm – The fusion of Light Dragon Storm with Shadow Binding Chains, producing a dual-element tempest that restrains and assaults targets simultaneously 36 257.
- Twin Dragon Soul-Lock Blast – An explosive elemental attack created by the collision of condensed Light and Shadow Dragons. It proved effective against Mirror Abyss’s defenses, which were resistant to physical attacks 257.
- Twin Dragon Destruction – Xie Xie’s fourth fusion skill, unleashed after he broke through to the four-ring Soul Ancestor stage. Its dark-golden dragon manifestation was powerful enough to shatter Wu Zhangkong’s Heavenly Frost Greatsword and later destroy Li Qiankun’s Qiankun Ball 206 304.
- Light Scale, Shadow Moon – A simultaneous release of the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King powers, producing a vast dual-dragon radiance that can overwhelm an opposing dragon bloodline 374.
- Dragon King’s Requiem – A chaotic beam of intertwined light and darkness used with Light Scale, Shadow Moon. It destroyed Long Yue’s spear, battle armor, and Mountain Dragon King phantom 374.
- Glazed Dragon Falls – An extremely powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill that produces a cascading, glazed dragon-shaped attack capable of obliterating large structures. Xie Xie used this to destroy the Forest of Ice and Snow, but the backlash left him severely injured and near death, indicating it is a high-risk, last-resort technique 131.
- Dragon Soul Resonance – A soul skill obtained from a dragon skull that allows Light Cub and Shadow Cub to “log in” and fight on Xie Xie’s behalf. The spirit souls can use their own abilities and even attempt to fuse, though full fusion at Xie Xie’s cultivation level caused him to spit blood. This skill effectively grants Xie Xie two autonomous combatants 106.
- Dragon God Transformation – An ultimate transformation in which Xie Xie becomes a Seven-Colored Glazed Giant Dragon. He used it to destroy Mirror Abyss’s Ten Thousand Mirrors Domain: Ultimate Form, though the exertion caused his soul to fall into darkness afterward 259.
- Limitations and Risks – Fusion skills consume large amounts of soul power and can injure Xie Xie if his body cannot withstand the strain. The attempted fusion of Light Cub and Shadow Cub failed due to his insufficient cultivation, and Glazed Dragon Falls nearly killed him. Xie Xie must carefully gauge his limits when employing these techniques 106 131.
Spirit Souls: Light Cub and Shadow Cub
Light Cub and Shadow Cub are the spirit souls gestated by Xie Xie’s twin martial souls, an unprecedented phenomenon that shocked even his teacher Wu Zhangkong. They manifested when Xie Xie’s Light Dragon Dagger evolved into the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade. Light Cub is a golden, light-attribute dragon cub, while Shadow Cub is a dark, shadow-attribute cub. They possess independent consciousness and can conceal their presence, gestating spirit rings without the usual absorption risks. Over time, they can evolve and ascend, gaining greater power 30 31 33 85 106.
- Nature and Function – Light Cub and Shadow Cub reside within Xie Xie’s martial souls, acting as living spirits that can communicate with him and assist in combat. They are responsible for generating soul rings and can devour compatible soul spirits to grow. They also help stabilize conflicting forces within Xie Xie, such as during the absorption of the Thousand Shadow Light Dragon Beast External Soul Bone 30 31 105.
- Evolution and Ascension – Shadow Cub evolved into a Youth Dragon after Xie Xie absorbed the Shadow-Devouring Nether Dragon Left Arm Bone, gaining increased power and maturity. Light Cub ascended to the thousand-year level, granting Xie Xie two thousand-year soul rings during a Spirit Ascension Platform event. Further ascension is possible as Xie Xie’s strength grows 85 106.
- Combat Applications – Through Dragon Soul Resonance, Light Cub and Shadow Cub can fight autonomously, using their own attacks and even attempting to fuse. They can also provide Xie Xie with additional soul skills and enhance his martial soul’s power. Their presence allows him to adapt to both light and shadow elemental situations 106 113.
- Later Growth – After being fed extensive resources supplied by Long Yeyue, the two spirit souls grew beyond ten meters long and gradually became solid enough to enter battle directly. They later materialized as giant dragons and aided Xie Xie while he wore Dragon Soul Armor 185 304 328.
- Light Scale and Shadow Moon – By the Star Luo Continental tournament, Light Cub and Shadow Cub are respectively known as Light Scale and Shadow Moon. Their reactions to the Dragon Crystal Core, their manifestation as enormous dragons, and Shadow Moon’s independent fury all indicate the progressive awakening of their Dragon King natures 328 346 349.
- Dragon King Potential – The Space-Time Dragon identified them as possessing the potential to evolve into the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King. Their third ascension is expected to fully awaken those bloodlines and cause a qualitative leap in Xie Xie’s martial soul 57 296.
- Limitations – The spirit souls are still young and require time and resources to evolve. Fusing Light Cub and Shadow Cub directly is beyond Xie Xie’s current ability, and over-reliance on them can leave him vulnerable if they are suppressed or separated from his martial souls. Their independent nature means they may act on instinct, occasionally requiring Xie Xie to rein them in 106 131.
Space-Time Dragon Blade
The Space-Time Dragon Blade is the evolved form created when Xie Xie merged the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade. The merged weapon entered his forehead as pure white light, granting him authority over space-time and producing a new white-jade dragon-patterned soul ring. Its emergence marked a profound physical and spiritual transformation, tying Xie Xie more directly to the Space-Time Dragon’s inheritance 271.
- Space-Time Manipulation – Xie Xie can float, slice through space, and briefly freeze time. Upon awakening the blade, he bypassed Yun Ming’s Sky-Piercing Divine Spear through its space-time authority 271.
- New Soul Ring – The martial soul fusion granted a white-jade dragon-patterned soul ring that carries an ancient space-time aura distinct from his ordinary ring configuration 271.
- Transformation – During activation, Xie Xie’s hair turns white and his eyes become molten gold, while his presence becomes detached and ancient 271.
- First Battle – During the Dragon Valley mission, Xie Xie drew upon the Space-Time Dragon Blade against an Evil Soul Master ambush and used its space-time power when confronting the incoming eighth-rank fixed soul-guided shell 385 387.
- Limitations – The full scope of the Space-Time Dragon Blade’s powers and the conditions for safely using its authority remain unclear. Its activation is connected to a higher-level inheritance and carries risks associated with Xie Xie’s incomplete mastery of space-time power 132 271.
New Dragon God
After a fragment of the Dragon God’s origin merged with Xie Xie’s soul, his personal aura became increasingly close to that of the progenitor of all soul beasts. He later transcended the status of a mere vessel for that origin and became the New Dragon God himself 398 435.
- New Dragon God Form – Xie Xie transforms into a vast prison-black dragon adorned with gilded patterns. The form emits a divine draconic pressure that inspires instinctive awe and reverence in surrounding dragons and soul beasts 435.
- Dragon God Authority – His Dragon God aura can suppress beast-type martial souls and cause those with soul beast bloodlines to instinctively submit 398.
- Protection of Dai Yun’er – In New Dragon God form, Xie Xie intervened to protect Dai Yun’er from the descending Frost Grief Sword, directly confronting the sword’s killing intent 435.
- Connection to Gu Yue – Gu Yue recognizes Xie Xie’s transformation as that of the New Dragon God, intensifying her determination to bring him with her because of his connection to the Dragon God’s legacy 435.
Self-Created Skills and Techniques
- Rasengan – A self-created rotating soul-power technique first developed during his early Soul Grandmaster period. It can produce destructive impact at close range but formerly imposed severe strain on his body 42.
- Ten Thousand Blades Return to Origin – A self-created large-scale barrage that manifests countless Light and Shadow Dragon Blades and rains them upon a target 130 258.
- Light-Dark Coexistence Method – Long Yeyue’s inherited cultivation method, which allows Xie Xie to separate light and darkness into independently operating forms. He used it to create a powerful black-haired, red-eyed shadow clone capable of independently using soul skills 150 202 239.
- Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track – Advanced movement footwork used by Xie Xie during high-speed combat, including his battle against Mirror Abyss 257 258.
- Blade Displacement – From his earliest battles, Xie Xie could throw the Light Dragon Dagger and instantly appear at its location, an unusual movement technique that allowed him to bypass opponents’ defenses 6.

Relationships
- Tang Wulin: Xie Xie's closest friend and bond over food and shared struggles in training. Their relationship deepens when Tang Wulin shows possessiveness over Xie Xie's interactions with Xu Xiaoyan, revealing Tang Wulin's growing feelings. Xie Xie teases Tang Wulin, who blushes and leaves in a hurry. They also test each other's powers and have friendly banter and competition 15 92 93. Tang Wulin's determination to protect Xie Xie highlights their strong friendship 126. Despite initial jealousy, they maintain a strong bond, with Tang Wulin bringing a reluctant Xie Xie along on outings with Ouyang Zixin 90 14. At Shrek, Tang Wulin remains protective of Xie Xie, though their increasingly complicated emotional dynamic causes occasional tension and awkwardness 183 240. After Xie Xie disappeared at Dragon Valley, Tang Wulin refused to accept that he had died and was prepared to sacrifice his cultivation and Golden Dragon King origin if that was necessary to revive him 390.
- Gu Yue: A complex relationship marked by playful teasing, competition, and eventual caring support. Gu Yue physically dominates Xie Xie during training, but he maintains dignity through wit. She gives him a pendant made from her elemental power and warns him not to lose it, revealing a softer side and fear of change. Xie Xie accepts the gift without question 46. Their interactions include close encounters that leave Gu Yue flustered 93. Gu Yue scolds Xie Xie for prioritizing safety, then shows concern for his injury 126. She also disciplines him for mischief and supports Tang Wulin in questioning Xie Xie about his past with Mu Xi 74 107. Gu Yue confides in Xie Xie about her choice to join the Spirit Pagoda, and he offers unwavering support 97. Their relationship later develops open romantic undertones: Xie Xie embraces her before a match, she assists him against Mirror Abyss with Space Shift, and she eventually teases him after biting his neck 236 258 364. As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue is deeply conflicted between her feelings for Xie Xie and the value of his Dragon God-related power; she considers taking drastic action against him but ultimately cannot do so 309 330 356. After witnessing his New Dragon God transformation, she resolves to take him with her 435.
- Wu Zhangkong: Initially a stern disciplinarian, Wu Zhangkong's relationship with Xie Xie evolves into a maternal-filial bond. Wu Zhangkong cooks for Xie Xie, showing a rare gentle side, and teaches him a powerful footwork technique, which Xie Xie learns without hesitation, trusting her fully 53. Xie Xie calls her "Mom" and spends the last three days of a holiday with her, receiving intense training 107. Wu Zhangkong shows affection towards Xie Xie upon his return to the dormitory 107. In combat, Xie Xie protects Wu Zhangkong from Gu Yue's Ice-Fire Light Orb, preventing her embarrassment 113. Wu Zhangkong later witnesses and acknowledges his four-ring breakthrough and the destructive power of Twin Dragon Destruction 206. When Xie Xie disappeared after colliding with the fixed soul-guided shell, her composure broke into grief and killing intent, demonstrating the depth of their bond 387.
- Xu Xiaoyan: Friendship that begins when Xie Xie saves her previously. They become friends in Class Zero, with Xie Xie showing a playful, mischievous side and Xu Xiaoyan showing admiration. She blushes after being caught staring at Xie Xie. Tang Wulin becomes upset when Xie Xie calls Xu Xiaoyan by her nickname "Xiaoyan," indicating possessiveness 92 107. She later helps restrain Wu Sidu when the latter attempts to defy orders and return to Dragon Valley to search for Xie Xie 390.
- Wang Jinxi: A relationship built on martial soul compatibility. Xie Xie's Light Dragon Blade amplifies Wang Jinxi's soul power, while Tang Wulin's suppresses it. This leads to them meditating together to test the effect, and they become more comfortable with each other due to the shared experience.
