Background
Xie Xie arrived at Eastsea Academy as a talented but arrogant new student. He initially treated his dorm mates condescendingly, only to be overwhelmed by Hei Lin's killing intent and aura; Long Hengxu subsequently reprimanded him for relying on his family background and talent to look down on others 34 35.
His fear of Bai Lin gradually became respect. During Class Five's training and promotion challenges, he came to view Bai Lin as the group's indispensable backbone, while retaining a strong desire to prove that he could stand on his own 51 59.
Personality
Xie Xie is proud, competitive, and theatrically self-confident. He regularly boasts about his looks, skill, and future victories, particularly when trying to impress Xu Xiaoyan or provoke rivals 385 397 401.
Behind the bravado, he is loyal and resilient. He fought Su Mu despite the unfavorable matchup, endured severe internal injuries to secure victory, and later volunteered for the dangerous investigation of Spirit Continent as a responsibility of the Shrek Seven Monsters 238 361.
He is also mischievous and sharp-tongued. His banter with Gu Yue and Yue Zhengyu is constant, though he quickly retreats when outmatched 112 229. As he matures, he becomes more composed in formal roles, including serving as a Tang Sect envoy despite old rivalries with Star Luo students 385.
Abilities & Skills

- Can slip into shadows and employ short-range instant movement in combat 238.
- Defeated equal-level opponents through movement technique and close-quarters skill without using soul skills 220.

- Can manipulate space to prevent opponents from reaching him, even while remaining outside their attack range 403.
- Uses Spatial Shift to erase terrain created by an opponent and restore the battlefield to its original state 405.

- Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger — His original Twin Martial Souls and primary close-combat weapons 150 238.
Relationships
- Tang Wulin / Bai Lin — Closest friend, teammate, and the opponent Xie Xie has tried to defeat since Eastsea Academy. He trusts Bai Lin completely and regards him as his “boss” and greatest source of support 51 397 384.
- Xu Xiaoyan — Fiancée and later publicly acknowledged partner. Their feelings develop gradually before their engagement receives both families' approval; Xie Xie later confesses to her at the Sea God's Fate festival 291 430 435.
- Gu Yue — Teammate and frequent verbal sparring partner. She often punctures his boasting, but also provokes him into recovering his fighting spirit before difficult battles 140 237.
- Wu Changkong — Teacher and harsh combat instructor. Wu Changkong disarmed him easily during early special training but later shows concern when Xie Xie collapses from overexertion 55 239.
- Yue Zhengyu — Friend and friendly rival. The two constantly trade insults, compete over their future potential, and still support one another in battle 201 396.
- Bai Lin and Hei Lin — When Bai Lin falls into slumber and Hei Lin takes control, Xie Xie is devastated by the change and vows to become strong enough to help his friend 302.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Eastsea Academy
Xie Xie begins as one of Bai Lin's dorm mates in Year One Class Five. Though initially intimidated by Hei Lin, he later fights Bai Lin in the class practical-combat final, using high-speed movement and the Light Dragon Dagger before losing to a single punch 34 49.
He joins Bai Lin and Gu Yue in Wu Changkong's special training, where the three are required to challenge their Soul Emperor teacher together. Xie Xie is disarmed early in their first battle, exposing the gap between his speed-focused style and a veteran expert's skill 54 55.
Zero Class and Shrek Academy
As part of Zero Class, Xie Xie trains through the Spirit Ascension Platform and class advancement tournaments. He becomes a reliable agile attacker in Bai Lin and Gu Yue's formations, using his speed to exploit openings created by their overwhelming offense and control 71 112.
He accepts the opportunity to join the Tang Sect and later becomes a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters 86 362.
Continental Advanced Young Soul Master Elite Competition
Matched against Monster Academy's Su Mu, one of the Eight Heavenly Kings, Xie Xie secures a narrow victory by committing to an all-out burst with his Twin Martial Souls and battle armor. The effort badly damages his meridians and leaves him nearly unable to stand, but he continues boasting after receiving treatment 238.
Bai Lin's Slumber and the Spirit Continent Mission
When Hei Lin reveals that Bai Lin is “sleeping,” Xie Xie struggles with the unfamiliar personality before him but resolves to become stronger for Bai Lin's sake 302.
He later leads his companions on a covert mission to Spirit Continent. After being pursued by Blood Demon, he chooses to counterattack rather than surrender, and is ultimately saved by Bai Lin's distant divine intervention 361 382 383.
Time-Space Dragon King
After his Martial Soul evolves into the Space-Time Dragon, Bai Lin grants him the inheritance of the Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King. Xie Xie becomes the new Time-Space Dragon King and begins wielding time-space laws on a vastly greater scale 390 392.
He demonstrates this power by effortlessly defeating Dai Yueyan and severely injuring Long Yue. Against Long Yue, he uses Spatial Shift, timeline selves, and spatial movement to evade every major attack before delivering a restrained counterstrike 404 405.
Abyssal War
Bai Lin assigns Xie Xie to scout the Abyss forces because of his near-unmatched survivability. Xie Xie crosses the battlefield untouched by Abyss Bomb Bee explosions, infiltrates the vicinity of the Abyss passage, and banishes vast quantities of Abyss energy and Demon Charms into the void 475 476 477.
Godhood
Inspired by the divine paths of Bai Lin and Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie enters seclusion to pursue godhood 484. He ultimately ascends as the God of Time and Space, inspiring his remaining companions to pursue the divine realm as well 502.
Parallel-Universe Side Story
In a parallel timeline, an elderly quasi-god Xie Xie waits for a century on Sea God Island for Tang Wulin's return, convinced that his friend will one day awaken from the Far North's ice 512.
Bai Lin from another universe finds him near death, restores his youthful vitality long enough for him to share his memories, and preserves his soul before sending it ten thousand years into the future 513 514.

Trivia
