Background

Huo Yun'er hid the two-year-old Xu Jie in Duke White Tiger's Mansion under the pretense that he was Huo Yuhao's page. She cared for him as she did Huo Yuhao, making the two boys effectively family. Xu Jie's memories from his prior life surfaced only intermittently at this age, leaving him alternately dull and unusually lively. 2

Xu Jie had previously learned the Nine Yang Divine Skill after first establishing a foundation with the Pure Yang Wuji Art. He later brought this martial-arts knowledge into the Soul Master world, where it became central to his combat style, recovery, and teaching. 3 10

At Shrek Academy, Elder Mu En diagnosed Xu Jie's Sun Martial Soul as one that devoured Soul Power without limit. Although he possessed an Ultimate Martial Soul, the Sea God Pavilion decided that the Academy could not afford the Soul Power needed to nurture him and intended to expel him through future assessments. 21 22 Xu Jie later revealed that he had never possessed a Martial Soul flaw and had been forced into the Holy Spirit Cult. 268

Appearance

Xu Jie is described as an elegant, handsome young man with black hair and black eyes in his ordinary appearance. A golden Sun Imprint sits between his brows and becomes prominent when he activates his power. 285 462

• His hair and eyes became strikingly golden after changes connected to his cultivation and dragon power. 144
• His Solar Dragon Body Strengthening Transformation covers his face and body in golden patterns and dragon scales while igniting golden flames around him. 147
• When drawing on darker dragon power, his hair turns long and black, his skin becomes pale, and his golden eyes become vertical beastlike pupils. 323
• He is frequently seen in white clothing or Daoist robes, particularly when using Tai Chi. 267 462 500

Personality

Xu Jie is fiercely protective of the people he considers family. He raises and guides Qian Ran, risks himself to help Huo Yuhao, protects Dai Luoli from Ye Xishui, and treats Xiao Yun'er with conspicuous affection. 123 186 323 580 He also consistently assists vulnerable people when he encounters them, including Qian Qin and her child, Dugu Yun, and the homeless children of Shandou City. 42 304 308

He is independent and unwilling to accept institutions or traditions uncritically. He rejects Tang Sect affiliation, openly despises Shrek and the Tang Sect over a personal grudge, and states that he intends to overturn the continent's aristocracy. 179 266 268

Xu Jie can be patient and encouraging as a teacher, but his mercy has strict limits. He refuses Long Xiaoyao's order to kill Chen Pu, yet shows no compassion toward Evil Soul Masters who have harmed innocents and uses captured Evil Soul Masters in experiments on Martial Soul destruction and restoration. 143 191 272

His humor is often teasing and deliberately shameless, especially toward Huo Yuhao, Ji Juechen, Qian Ran, and Xiao Xiao. 260 274 351
