Background / History

Xie Yue and his younger sister Hu Liena were orphaned and taken in by Spirit Hall. He inherited his father’s surname and the Moon Blade martial soul, while Hu Liena inherited their mother’s surname and martial soul. He entered Spirit Hall’s advanced academy and was already a level 29 power-attack-system soul master at age eleven. 8

At the academy, Hu Liena introduced Xie Yue and Yan to Duanyu Fan. Xie Yue and Yan regularly sparred, while Duanyu Fan treated their injuries and restored their soul power. This established the four as a close-knit group built around sparring, healing, and mutual cultivation. 8

Duanyu Fan later gave Xie Yue the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, an immortal herb suited to tool martial souls. Its effects strengthened the Moon Blade’s toughness and attack power, helping Xie Yue reach rank 40. 29 36

During the group’s first Star Dou Great Forest expedition, Xie Yue killed an 8,000-year Purple Armor Devouring Gold Ant Queen and absorbed its soul ring. His new Fourth Soul Skill substantially improved the offensive power of his existing skills. 42

Bibi Dong subsequently sent Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Yan, and Duanyu Fan into Death Canyon for three years of survival training. Xie Yue survived repeated encounters with mutated soul beasts, gained levels through the canyon’s Dark Assassination Energy, and reached level 54 with a Fifth Soul Ring by the end of the training. 52 58 63

After returning, he became captain of the Spirit Hall Battle Team. Under his leadership, the team overwhelmed Dragon Sunflower Academy in seconds and advanced in the Continental Advanced Academy Elite Spirit Master Tournament. 64 70

Xie Yue later joined Duanyu Fan, Hu Liena, Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing on another Star Dou Great Forest expedition for sixth soul rings. He obtained a 50,000-year Sixth Soul Ring and later demonstrated level 64 Soul Emperor cultivation. 103 120 171

Following the mission to Gengjin City, Xie Yue reported that the Blacksmith Association and Craft God Lou Gao had agreed to forge weapons for Spirit Hall. He also received the Mysterious Heaven Skill to distribute among his team members. 202

After obtaining a 60,000-year-level soul ring and becoming a Soul Saint, Xie Yue rejected a safer path of secluded cultivation in Spirit Hall. Together with Yan, he chose to return to Death Canyon to seek greater trials and potentially obtain a deity’s trial. 228

Appearance

Xie Yue has black-gray hair and a cold, sharp demeanor resembling Hu Liena’s. By age sixteen, he had grown to roughly 1.8 meters tall and commonly wore silver-gray clothing. 8 63 104

• Carries an austere, cold expression when formally representing Spirit Hall. 64
• His Moon Blade’s aura is described as extremely sharp rather than overpowering. 171
• Wields two Moon Blades, which can merge into a spinning ring-shaped weapon. 57

Personality

Xie Yue is competitive, proud of his strength, and especially unwilling to concede to Yan. Their rivalry is openly combative but friendly; both use their duels to force the other to improve. 42 48 49

He is also serious about Spirit Hall’s authority and responsibilities. When Bibi Dong asked about the upcoming Continental Elite Tournament, he promised that Spirit Hall alone would claim its honor. 63

Despite his cold exterior, Xie Yue banters readily with Hu Liena, Yan, and Duanyu Fan. He accepts Duanyu Fan’s guidance in dangerous situations, trusts his support without hesitation, and later embraces a difficult path rather than depend on Duanyu Fan to help him become a god. 42 59 104 228
