Background / History

Xie Xie was placed in Donghai Academy's weakest first-year class despite his evident talent. He had been assigned to Class Five after teaching his roommate Zhou Changxi a lesson, while the academy's initial class placements were broadly determined by talent 3.

He comes from the Xie Family, an established mecha clan that holds the leading position in Donghai City's Chamber of Commerce; his father serves as the chamber's vice president 12.

After Class Five's practical-combat evaluation, Wu Changkong selected Xie Xie, Lin Xun, and Gu Yue as the main team for the Promotion Tournament, with Tang Wulin as substitute 4. He later entered Zero Class alongside the other core students and moved into its exclusive dormitories with Lin Xun 38.

Personality

Xie Xie is energetic, competitive, outspoken, and easily excitable. He tends to fill silences with questions, gossip, or teasing, including a habit of giving Wu Changkong an enthusiastic “five-question barrage” before missions 15.

He is highly interested in romance despite being notably inexperienced at it. He diligently takes notes during Lin Xun's relationship lectures, reads romance stories, and is devastated after a Class Four girl blocks him for answering her question about greasy hair too bluntly 18 22.

Beneath his comic behavior, Xie Xie is loyal to his friends. He supports Zhou Changxi's Soul Planning Hall application, defends Lin Xun during the Zheng Tao incident, and becomes genuinely concerned when Lin Xun is endangered 12 14 20 89.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls: Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger

Xie Xie possesses twin martial souls of the same origin. Both are speed-oriented dragon daggers, giving him exceptional mobility and making him suited to flanking, infiltration, and sudden strikes 3 5.

• Summons the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger simultaneously for dual-wield combat 3.
• Uses explosive movement bursts to blur his body and pressure opponents from multiple angles 3.
• Can alternate or coordinate both daggers to seal an opponent's escape routes 3.
• His Lightshadow Dragon Dagger possession divides his presence between daylight-like radiance and shadow, further enhancing his agility 60.
• Uses clones and teleportation-style movement as feints and ambush tools 61.

Agility-Attack Combat Style

Xie Xie serves as a roaming attacker rather than a direct defender. In group battles, he probes defenses, searches for weak points, disrupts enemy soul-skill charging, and waits for an opening to strike 60 61.

• Circled behind Wu Changkong in an attempted ambush during training 9.
• Was targeted early by Class One because removing him would cut off Class Five's mobile support 27.
• Worked around Yue Guan's barrier to sever Soul Power nodes, disrupt skill rhythms, and restrict escape routes 61.
• Avoids taking powerful attacks head-on whenever possible 60.

Combat Weaknesses

Wu Changkong identifies Xie Xie's main shortcomings as limited practical-combat experience, insufficient spiritual power, and a tendency to panic against stronger opponents 5.

• His spiritual power can prevent him from seeing through high-speed feints and afterimages 3.
• He was unable to land a single hit on Lin Xun despite fighting at full speed 3.
• Tang Wulin defeated him during special training, demonstrating the limits of speed against overwhelming strength 6.
• He struggles when faced with opponents who can perfectly predict his own movement habits, as seen against his mirror projection 61.
• He becomes anxious without Lin Xun's support when confronted by dangerous soul beasts 73.

Equipment / Items

Relationships

• Yun Xiao — Roommate and occasional teasing partner. Yun Xiao joins Xie Xie and Lin Xun in preparing for the Individual Credit Tournament 22.
• Wu Changkong — Teacher. Wu Changkong recognizes Xie Xie's potential but repeatedly criticizes his lack of experience, weak mental power, and poor composure under pressure 5 9.
• Wu Siduo — Zero Class teammate. Their team argues when faced with the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, with Xie Xie questioning her overconfidence 73.
• Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi — Zero Class teammates. Xie Xie fights beside them during the Trial Hall challenge against Yue Guan 60 61.
