Background / History
Xie Xie comes from a family with a mecha business in Tianhai City. When Cheng Duoyi introduces him to Leng Yaozhu, she promises to arrange support for his family’s business 35.
At Eastsea Academy, Xie Xie befriends Cheng Duoyi after receiving a Primary Spirit Ascension Platform entry card. Assuming Cheng’s frail appearance means he needs protection, Xie Xie promises to deal with anyone who bullies him. An embrace unexpectedly accelerates Xie Xie’s soul-power circulation, giving him an early indication of Cheng’s influence on his dragon bloodline 11 12.
Cheng includes Xie Xie in a five-person team intended to enter Shrek Academy through its entrance examination. Xie Xie accepts Wu Changkong’s special training and later joins the Spirit Pagoda with the other members of the group 17 18 35 36.
Personality
Xie Xie is outspoken, playful, and prone to teasing his classmates about their relationships. His fascination with the tension surrounding Cheng Duoyi often makes him miss social cues; Yun Xiao repeatedly intervenes when his comments become intrusive or ill-advised 14 28 30 33.
His confidence can become arrogance, but it does not prevent him from thinking tactically. Against Gu Yue, he uses provocations to try to unsettle her and conserves soul power because he anticipates her teleportation. Despite complaining loudly after losing, he recognizes that she genuinely outplayed him rather than winning through trickery 23 24.
He is fiercely loyal to Cheng Duoyi and takes insults against him personally. He supports Cheng’s argument for balancing study with rest, promises not to betray him, and agrees to protect the secret of his extraordinary spirit rings 29 31 40.
Abilities & Skills
Twin Dragon-Dagger Martial Souls
Xie Xie possesses the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, accompanied by sparse, impure light-dragon and shadow-dragon bloodlines 15 41.
- Can wield both daggers simultaneously, striking the cores of incoming ice spikes and fireballs to destroy them 23.
- The Light Dragon Dagger develops a sacred radiance under Cheng Duoyi’s amplification; the Shadow Dragon Dagger develops a deeper, darker aura 41 48.
- After a year of cultivation, both daggers become increasingly solid and sometimes faintly manifest as two dragons. These are signs of a second awakening, not a confirmed completed awakening 50.
Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade
His blade skills produce dragon-shaped attacks associated with his two martial souls 23 47.
- Light Dragon Blade concentrates silver-white light into a sharp blade capable of breaking elemental projectiles 23.
- Shadow Dragon Blade supplies the corresponding dark attack 47.
- Can launch both blades together, intertwining light and shadow to increase their combined power 47.
- Uses these attacks while flanking opponents with Wei Xiaofeng during coordinated team battles 48.
Agility and Close-Range Combat
As an agility-type battle soul master, Xie Xie specializes in rapid approaches, evasive movement, and exploiting openings 23 24.
- Uses backbends and flips to avoid attacks while maintaining his counterattack options 23.
- Delays soul-skill activation to avoid wasting energy against teleportation 23 24.
- Receives praise from Wu Changkong for his reaction speed, combat experience, and situational judgment 24.
- Records nearly 200 kilograms in the academy’s strength test despite not being a power-type soul master 46.
- Can struggle against sustained battlefield control: Gu Yue traps his legs with earth and ice, preventing him from capitalizing on his speed 23.
Dragon-Bloodline Resonance
Cheng Duoyi’s presence enhances Xie Xie’s cultivation and combat strength through their dragon-related bloodlines 15 17.
- Merely remaining nearby increases his soul power at roughly his normal meditation rate; meditating nearby is faster still 17.
- An early embrace makes his soul-power circulation more than twice as effective as ordinary diligent cultivation 12.
- Cheng’s twenty-meter amplification strengthens both daggers and produces a faint, intermittently visible silver pattern on Xie Xie’s forehead 41.
- Under amplification, he feels confident enough to challenge a three-ring Soul Elder; this is his assessment, not a documented solo victory 41.
- His bloodline is too impure to help stabilize Cheng’s vitality, despite Xie Xie offering to assist 15.
Relationships
- Cheng Duoyi — Friend, captain, cultivation benefactor, and unrequited romantic interest. Xie Xie promises to protect him and later confesses his attraction; Cheng does not reciprocate. Their friendship and team partnership continue 12 17 21 42.
- Yun Xiao — Close friend and teammate who frequently restrains his impulsive remarks. During training, Yun Xiao uses Displacement to rescue him from Wu Changkong’s attack 14 28 30 48.
- Tang Wuling — Friend and teammate whose relationship with Cheng he initially supports. He gains respect for her combat ability and later teases her with the nickname “One Punch Man” 19 27 28 40.
- Gu Yue — Teammate, sparring opponent, and rival for Cheng’s attention. She decisively defeats him in their first duel and is often irritated by his commentary 19 23 24 42.
- Wu Changkong — Homeroom teacher and combat instructor. He recognizes Xie Xie’s agility and judgment while emphasizing the need to exploit small openings against control-type opponents 24 47.
- Leng Xue’er — Deputy homeroom teacher who explains his Spirit Pagoda membership benefits and the organization’s spirit-cultivation research 13 36.
Story Role / Major Arcs
- First classroom duel: Loses to Gu Yue’s teleportation and sustained elemental control. Watching her subsequent fight with Tang Wuling teaches him not to judge opponents solely by the apparent quality of their martial souls 23 24 27.
- Spirit Pagoda enrollment: Becomes a Primary Spirit Master, receiving a monthly allowance of 10,000 Federation Coins, access to semiannual spirit-cultivation studies, and a five-percent discount on spirit purchases. After observing the research process, he decides not to focus on spirit cultivation for the time being 36 37.
- Class Promotion Tournament: Eliminates Jialong during the match against Class 4. In the decisive Class 1 match, Cheng’s amplification enables him to defeat Wei Xiaofeng in one strike 40 41.
- Class Zero: Joins the academy’s Shrek-oriented experimental class and signs an agreement to remain at Eastsea Academy for six years 42.
- Team training: Participates in the group’s initial defeat against Wu Changkong, then helps secure victories against the teacher at three- and four-ring strength under Cheng’s command and amplification 47 48.
- One-year growth period: Advances to level 27 while repeated training and bloodline nourishment bring both martial souls toward a second awakening 50.
