Background & History

Xie Huanyue was a somewhat chubby new student waiting at Shrek Academy's eastern gate. His soul power was already around Rank 30, and he possessed the Pipi Elephant Martial Soul. He warned Gu Chen that entering Shrek without a city lord's invitation meant challenging powerful Outer Court students, but Gu Chen's confidence left him speechless 3.

After Gu Chen defeated Xu Sanshi, Xie Huanyue was overwhelmed by the display of strength and wanted to acknowledge him as his boss 4. He used his family connections to transfer into Freshman Class Nine, specifically so that he could follow Gu Chen 7.

Gu Chen initially rejected the idea of taking a lackey. Xie Huanyue then offered him Millennium Whale Glue and sincerely pledged to brave fire and water for him; Gu Chen accepted him as a follower and elder-brother figure 7.

Appearance

Xie Huanyue is repeatedly described as a chubby boy with a small belly 3 7.

• During Pipi Elephant possession, his skin darkens and his body becomes a large, fleshy mass 8.
• Activating Elephant Fury further darkens his skin and enhances his physical charge 8.

Personality

Xie Huanyue is openly admiring and deeply loyal to Gu Chen. He is eager to support him in public, calls him “Big Brother” or “Boss,” and repeatedly steps in when he believes Gu Chen may be in danger 14 16.

He is also resourceful and socially perceptive. He used his lineage connections to join Gu Chen's class, offered valuable Millennium Whale Glue to gain Gu Chen's recognition, paid for Gu Chen's meals, and helped drive away admirers at the Soul Fighting Arena 7 25. He recognizes his own limits, believing that a beauty such as the Golden Dragon Princess would only suit Gu Chen rather than himself 27.

His loyalty can make him reckless. During the Freshman Tournament semifinals, he tried to shield Gu Chen from the Netherworld White Tiger and was immediately sent flying; in the final, he rushed Huo Yuhao and was frozen by Ultimate Ice despite Gu Chen's warning 16 18.
