History
Xie Yue first appears among the Spirit Hall students sent to Notting Academy for an exchange meeting. Ranked second in its Golden Generation behind Hu Liena, he brings her intelligence about Qin He while dismissing Notting Academy as too poorly equipped to produce a serious rival 13. Hu Liena is his younger sister; his jealousy of Qin He's hold on her attention makes the rivalry personal 21 27.
At the Multi-Academy Tournament, Xie Yue enters as a favored competitor after defeating contenders from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Tianshui Academy. He initially overwhelms Xiao Chenyu with rapid Moon Blade strikes, but Xiao Chenyu defeats him with the Mutated Soul Skill Grey Wolf. Xie Yue accepts the loss and acknowledges the advantage Xiao Chenyu gained from Qin He's guidance 65 68 72.
Xie Yue continues to pursue Qin He as a rival, even as Qin He's repeated successes shake his confidence. He struggles with the Qin He Contemplation Method while Hu Liena advances, and the sight of Qin He's seven Heaven-Bestowed Soul Rings leaves him questioning how a Level 28 Great Soul Master could oppose him 138 153. After Qin He's allies defeat Spirit Hall's Operation River Hunt, confirmed news of the defeat causes Xie Yue to faint 169.
Xiao Chenyu later tries to recruit Xie Yue away from Spirit Hall. Xie Yue initially insists that he will never work for Qin He, but eventually joins Qin He's camp and becomes a Heaven Dou Empire official 282 321 454. His feelings for Spirit Hall remain strong even after the change in allegiance 454.
Appearance
Xie Yue is described as handsome, with a wicked-looking appearance. His Moon Blades add a red aura to his fighting presence 138 377 523.
- Red-rimmed eyes and a pale, strained face during his unsuccessful attempts to use the Qin He Contemplation Method 138.
- Two crimson crescent-shaped blades, held at their centers when summoned 377.
Personality
Xie Yue's pride in Spirit Hall and his own talent initially leads him to underestimate Qin He and Xiao Chenyu. He repeatedly looks for signs that Qin He has failed, but recovers from setbacks and resumes criticizing him 27 56 176 224. He also respects Xiao Chenyu's judgment for much of their time together, unaware that Xiao Chenyu is secretly working for Qin He 83 169 297.
He remains protective of Hu Liena and is visibly troubled by her interest in Qin He 21 27 242. Later, despite having joined Qin He's side, he retains deep affection for the Spirit Hall that raised him and Hu Liena 442 454.
Abilities & Skills
Moon Blade martial soul
Xie Yue fights as an agility-attack Battle Soul Master with two sharp crescent blades. Their speed and unpredictable movements let him pressure opponents through successive strikes rather than superior defense or raw strength 68 523.
- Moonlight Slash — his first Soul Skill; he crosses the blades and moves in a flash of white light, leaving an afterimage 68.
- Rapid assault — lands more than twenty consecutive strikes on Xiao Chenyu at the tournament, though he ultimately loses the match 68 72.
Full Moon
Xie Yue spreads his arms with both Moon Blades summoned, releasing red light in an expanding sphere. At Level 50, his combat strength is described as sufficient to contend with a Soul Emperor, but Full Moon does not prevent the Level 88 Evil Soul Master Qin Li from defeating him in one move 377.
Relationships
- Hu Liena — younger sister and fellow Golden Generation member. He worries about her attachment to Qin He; she, in turn, notices the toll his rivalry takes on him 21 27 169.
- Qin He — initially a rival Xie Yue disparages and hopes to defeat; later the leader of the camp he joins and a source of his cultivation progress 13 176 334 454 467.
- Xiao Chenyu — tournament opponent who defeats him, later a trusted friend and adviser. Xiao Chenyu defends him when Spirit Hall authorities accuse him of being an undercover agent, then helps draw him into Qin He's camp 72 225 282 454.
