Background / History

Xie Xie was among the students with the highest soul power in his class and held strong confidence in his own combat ability. His twin martial souls gave him exceptional offense and agility compared with peers of his age. When Zhong Shenxiu met his challenge with a cold, predatory appraisal, Xie Xie felt both pressure and irritation at being underestimated 15.

During their first spar, the Level 18 Xie Xie was decisively defeated by the Level 17 Zhong Shenxiu. His strongest first soul skill, Twin Dragon Blade, was broken through, and Zhong Shenxiu's Sky Light Dragon Spear left him unable to accept the difference between their strengths 16.

He joined Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Zhong Shenxiu as part of Zero Class. Early on, Zhong Shenxiu defeated Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue together in less than five seconds, forcing Xie Xie to recognize the enormous disparity between their strengths 27. He later watched Zhong Shenxiu overwhelm Class Four and was relieved that Zhong Shenxiu was on his own side 39.

During the Hall of Heroes assessment, Xie Xie struggled against his projection and was left demoralized by the result. Nevertheless, he showed initiative when Wu Zhangkong mentioned the Tang Sect-related organization, eagerly asking about it and expressing interest in joining 129 132.

After entering Shrek Academy, Xie Xie continued to train alongside Zero Class, though his teasing often caused trouble. Gu Yue retaliated against one disrespectful remark by burning him with Fire Dance Whirlwind; afterward, he warned Xu Xiaoyan not to provoke her 158. His lingering fear and inner conflict around Gu Yue remained apparent during Xu Xiaoyan's nighttime martial soul demonstration 164.

Following the three-year interval, Xie Xie reunited with Zero Class for special training against Zhong Shuiping, the Aquarius Star Dragon acting as Zhong Shenxiu's Guardian. Although Zhong Shuiping easily overpowered and threw him from the fight, Xie Xie continued developing his coordination with the team and refining the use of his twin daggers 253 254.

Later, Xie Xie provided Tang Wulin with crucial emotional support when Tang feared losing the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and becoming weak again. Xie Xie stressed that Tang Wulin's resilience, work ethic, and willingness to protect others mattered more than his bloodline or martial soul, helping him recommit to cultivating through his own efforts 479.

Personality

Xie Xie is confident, playful, and quick with a joke. He banters freely with Tang Wulin, including teasing him into a chase and engaging in physical comedy with him on a bus 98 136.

His bravado is frequently undercut by self-preservation. He openly described the bullying he endured from Gu Yue and jokingly framed his decision to curry favor with her as “seeking a better offer” after Tang Wulin supposedly abandoned him 162. When Gu Yue ordered him to interrupt Zhong Shenxiu and Ye Xinglan, he complied reluctantly despite understanding the danger 209.

He can also be generous and socially minded: after the group repaired their work-study dormitory, he offered to cover a celebratory dinner and shopping trip 315. Under sustained pressure from their homeroom teacher, however, he showed frustration, helplessness, and a more defeatist attitude 323.

Despite his immaturity and tendency to act opportunistically, Xie Xie can be sincere and perceptive regarding his friends. He values Tang Wulin not for his unusual bloodline, but for his perseverance, selflessness, and willingness to keep fighting after hardship. Even while offering serious encouragement, he retained his mischievous nature by turning his requested favor into a joke about seeing Tang Wulin in women's clothing 479.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Xie Xie possesses the Light Dragon Dagger and Dark Dragon Dagger, a rare pair of martial souls. The latter is also referred to as the Shadow Dragon Dagger in later accounts 132 188.

• Grants offensive capability and agility far beyond most peers his age 15.
• Established him as one of the more combat-capable members of Zero Class during the early Eastsea Academy period 47.
• His martial soul was criticized as insufficiently refined following the Hall of Heroes assessment 131.
• Wu Zhangkong identified impatience and flawed coordination between his two daggers as major weaknesses, particularly when he switched between them 132.
• Through later team training, Xie Xie began using his speed more effectively, circling opponents and attacking from multiple angles rather than relying solely on direct assaults 188.

Soul Skills

• First Soul Skill: Twin Dragon Blade — Combines the Light Dragon Dagger and Dark Dragon Dagger into interwoven light and darkness in the form of a dragon-shaped blade attack. The mutually generated light and dark attributes substantially amplify its power 16.
• Third Soul Skill: Twin Dragon Storm — Releases a storm-like barrage of light and shadow dagger strikes over a wide area 254.

Combat Ability

• Was Level 19 during the Class Promotion Tournament period, higher than Gu Yue's Level 17 and Tang Wulin's Level 12 47.
• Was initially a Level 18 Spirit Master, yet was defeated by Zhong Shenxiu despite holding a one-level cultivation advantage and possessing twin martial souls 16.

• His dragon-related martial soul and physical condition responded positively to Zhong Shenxiu's starlight-infused Dragon Power, allowing his spiritual strength and physical condition to recover rapidly 286.

Relationships

• Tang Wulin — Close Zero Class teammate and frequent bantering partner. Their playful fights and chases reflect an established friendship, though Xie Xie also betrayed him to gain Gu Yue's favor 98 136 162. Xie Xie later affirmed that he treasures Tang Wulin's perseverance and selflessness above his talent, offering him heartfelt support during his fears over losing the Golden Dragon King Bloodline 479.
• Gu Yue — Teammate whom Xie Xie fears due to her overwhelming strength and harsh retaliation. He has repeatedly fawned over her or followed her demands to avoid provoking her 158 162 209. He also voluntarily joined Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan in investigating Ye Xinglan's apparent interest in Zhong Shenxiu, framing their actions as exposing Ye Xinglan's “scheme” 207.
• Zhong Shenxiu — Teammate whose strength initially shocked Xie Xie. Xie Xie later attempted to deceive him with a fabricated message from Wu Zhangkong, but Zhong Shenxiu saw through the lie 27 210. He continued training against Zhong Shenxiu and gradually improved his tactical use of the twin daggers through these exchanges 188.
• Xu Xiaoyan — Zero Class teammate. Their first encounter was brief and awkward, leaving Xie Xie confused and lonely; he later warned her to be careful around Gu Yue 150 158. They subsequently fought alongside one another in Zero Class training, though they clashed over how to respond to their homeroom teacher's pressure 254 323.
• Wu Zhangkong — Teacher and mentor. Xie Xie participated in the Hall of Heroes training and showed particular interest when Wu Zhangkong introduced the Tang Sect-related organization 129 132. Wu Zhangkong also identified Xie Xie's impatience, flawed dagger coordination, and weak fundamentals as areas requiring improvement 131 132.
