Background / History

Xie Xie is the young master of the main line of East Sea City's Xie Family, a renowned mecha clan. He first encounters Fang Yuan and Gu Yuena after one of his bodyguards bumps into Fang Yuan at the station. Rather than defend the bodyguard's behavior, Xie Xie apologizes and accepts responsibility for failing to discipline him; however, he is unable to prevent Gu Yuena from breaking the man's arm 4 5.

Upon entering Class Five, Xie Xie recognizes Fang Yuan and Gu Yue and attempts to challenge Fang Yuan to a match. Fang Yuan refuses, and Xie Xie's resentment turns into a series of impulsive reprisals: he plots with Tang Wulin during class and later hires girls to put a laxative in Fang Yuan's food. Gu Yuena discovers the scheme and dumps the drugged meal on Xie Xie instead 10 11.

His rivalry with Gu Yue culminates in a formal spar. Although he uses his superior mobility and tries to exploit the reach disadvantage of her spear, Gu Yue defeats him in a single exchange sequence, stopping her spear at his abdomen before kicking him away 14. The loss forces him to reconsider his behavior, and he later apologizes to both Gu Yue and Fang Yuan 17.

Xie Xie subsequently becomes part of Class Five's tournament team alongside Tang Wulin, Fang Yuan, and Gu Yue. He participates in training, the challenge against Class One, preparations for the Class Promotion Tournament, and expeditions into the elementary Spirit Ascension Platform 23 27 31.

During the deputy mayoral campaign in Eastsea City, Xie Xie proudly identifies a candidate as his uncle. Moments later, an explosion at the campaign stage kills his uncle, leaving Xie Xie shocked and traumatized 35.

Appearance

Xie Xie is a handsome boy with short brown hair and an innate noble bearing. He is first seen wearing a blue tracksuit 4.

• Often carries himself with the pride expected of the Xie Family's young master.
• Uses two short dragon-themed daggers in combat: one gold and one black 14.
• Is visibly exhausted after extended weighted running, with sweat-soaked hair clinging to his forehead 13.

Personality

Xie Xie is proud, competitive, impulsive, and highly conscious of status. He resents being outshone by Fang Yuan, particularly Fang Yuan's immediate popularity among classmates, and repeatedly compares his own performance to that of stronger peers 13 23.

Despite his arrogance, he is adaptable when overwhelmed. After Gu Yue's decisive victory, he abandons open hostility, offers an apology, and accepts humiliating errands—including delivering meals—to secure Fang Yuan and Gu Yue's participation in the Class Promotion Tournament 17 19. He openly considers being teammates with exceptional geniuses a piece of good fortune rather than an insult to his pride 29.

He can be cowardly when faced with danger, such as fleeing from a thousand-year Crystal Bear and leading it toward the Xu siblings. Nevertheless, he remains loyal to Tang Wulin, worries about his classmates during the Evil Soul Master incident, and continues helping Fang Yuan record soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform 20 32 34.

Abilities & Skills

Light Dragon Dagger

Xie Xie's primary offensive martial soul is a gold short dagger. It supports his agility-focused combat style and is used for rapid strikes, harassment, and exploiting openings 12 14.

• Allows him to move as a pale-gold afterimage in battle 28.
• Used in coordination with Tang Wulin's control abilities during team attacks 28.
• Its first soul skill is Light Dragon Blade 14.
• A direct clash with Wu Zhangkong's Sky Frost Sword numbs Xie Xie's hand and nearly disarms him 28.

Shadow Dragon Dagger

Xie Xie also wields a black short dagger alongside the Light Dragon Dagger 14.

• Gives him a dual-dagger fighting style.
• Used in feints and close-range ambushes.
• He attempted to circle behind Gu Yue by sliding along her spear shaft and attacking from her blind side 14.

Speed and Agility

Xie Xie's specialty is rapid movement rather than durability or direct power.

• Is assigned the agility-attacker and ambush role in Class Five's team formation 23.
• Successfully seizes openings, such as moving behind Class Four's support Soul Master after Gu Yue defeats Li Ming 30.
• His speed does not consistently compensate for stronger opponents; Gu Yue defeats him three times during training, while Wu Zhangkong forces him back with a single defensive counter 23 28.

Relationships

• Tang Wulin — Close friend and frequent partner in trouble. Tang Wulin supports him during weighted training, saves him from a Crystal Bear, and fights beside him in team exercises 10 12 28 32.
• Fang Yuan — Initially a target of Xie Xie's jealousy and revenge after the station incident. Their relationship shifts into reluctant cooperation, with Xie Xie assisting Fang Yuan in the Spirit Ascension Platform 10 11 31 34.
• Gu Yue / Gu Yuena — Initially hostile toward her because of the Xie Family incident and her retaliation against his prank. After losing decisively to her, he apologizes and follows her demands with considerable caution 11 14 17 19.
• Wu Zhangkong — His strict Class Five teacher. Wu repeatedly punishes Xie Xie for disruptions and orders extra after-school training to improve him 10 12 26.
• Xie Xie's uncle — A deputy mayoral candidate whom Xie Xie admires. He is killed in a campaign-stage explosion 35.
• Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan — Met during the elementary Spirit Ascension Platform expedition. Xie Xie leads a pursuing Crystal Bear toward them, provoking a hostile confrontation 32.
