Background

Xie Yue and his younger sister Hu Liena lost their parents early and depended on one another before Spirit Hall took them in. As the elder sibling, he protected Hu Liena and did not abandon her despite their hardship, leading Yu Xiaogang to judge him as loyal and affectionate 18.

Initially, Xie Yue receives Spirit Hall's focused cultivation largely through Hu Liena's talent. Knowing that his early Soul Ring choices would determine his future path, he seeks Yu Xiaogang's guidance after witnessing him defeat Yan and dissect Yan's combat flaws. He considers accepting a teacher younger than himself worthwhile if it allows him to build a superior foundation 20.

Yu Xiaogang tests his resolve with Level 40 mental pressure. Xie Yue withstands it for a full minute, refuses to yield, and undergoes a Dragonblood Medicinal Bath as a further trial. He officially enters Yu Xiaogang's tutelage after surviving the procedure 21 22.

Personality

Xie Yue is fiercely protective of Hu Liena. His desire for strength is rooted primarily in ensuring that he will be able to protect his sister rather than be protected by her 21. This loyalty also extends to Yu Xiaogang; he openly defends his teacher's reputation against Tang San, Flender, and the other Yu Xiaogang 57.

He is ambitious, pragmatic, and willing to endure hardship for a long-term advantage. He seeks instruction before his Soul Ring configuration becomes fixed, accepts dangerous body-tempering and high-age Soul Rings, and delays obtaining his third ring until Yu Xiaogang can revise his plan after the evolution of his Martial Soul 20 22 55.

Xie Yue can also be competitive and anxious about falling behind his peers, particularly Hu Liena. He worries when Ye Lingling appears likely to receive special instruction, but readily accepts Yu Xiaogang's reassurance and continues training 55.

Abilities & Skills

Moon Blade Martial Soul

Xie Yue possesses the Moon Blade, a pair of blood-red crescent blades that can be wielded directly or thrown. Yu Xiaogang identifies the faint moonlit glow around the blades as evidence of an affinity with moonlight 22.

• After consuming an Immortal Herb, the Moon Blades evolve into sharper, sturdier weapons 55.
• Their evolved Moonlight Rend effect makes wounds inflicted by their slashes difficult to heal 55.
• The Martial Soul's moonlight affinity enhances his second Soul Skill under moonlight 22.

First Soul Skill: Moon Slash

Moon Slash channels Soul Power through the Moon Blades to release blood-red crescent blade auras 22.

• Moon Slash: Quintuple produces five consecutive blade arcs, enough to shred Tang San's Blue Silver Entanglement 57.
• It can be combined with Moonlight Instant Strike for sudden close-range counters 64.
• The evolved Moon Blade's Moonlight Rend improves the lethality and persistence of wounds caused by his slashes 55 64.

Second Soul Skill: Moonlight Instant Strike

Obtained from a 1,001-year Moonshadow Wind-Chasing Lynx, Moonlight Instant Strike teleports either Xie Yue or his Moon Blades a short distance 22.

• Its initial teleportation range is ten meters and increases as Xie Yue grows stronger 22.
• Moonlight increases the skill's effect by 30% 22.
• It has no startup or recovery period; its practical limits are Xie Yue's reaction speed and Soul Power 64.
• Xie Yue uses it to evade Tang San's hidden weapons and place a Moon Blade at Tang San's throat before the weapons can strike 57.

Third Soul Skill: Thousand Moon Instant Kill

Obtained from a 5,200-year Shattered Moon Locust, Thousand Moon Instant Kill creates Moon Blade duplicates and enables repeated high-speed burst movements 63.

• The Moon Blades created from moonlight are physical weapons that Xie Yue can freely control for attack or defense 64.
• Its apparent simultaneous strikes are actually rapid position changes; an experienced enemy can potentially follow the sequence of movements 64.
• Its true effectiveness rises with Xie Yue's base physical attributes rather than functioning as a fixed percentage boost 63.
• Repeated bursts heavily tax his Soul Power, endurance, and reaction speed 63 64.
• Paired with Moonlight Instant Strike, it removes the vulnerability between high-speed movements and enables feints, afterimages, sudden changes in direction, and counters 64.

Derivative Self-Created Soul Skill

Yu Xiaogang develops a personalized derivative technique by combining Xie Yue's Moon Slash, Moonlight Instant Strike, and Thousand Moon Instant Kill 64.

• Uses controlled Moon Blades, afterimages, feints, burst movement, and teleportation to pressure multiple opponents.
• Allows Xie Yue to defeat weaker Soul Kings and temporarily contend with stronger or multiple Soul King opponents in Yu Xiaogang's simulation 64.
• Requires continued training because the simulation relied on Yu Xiaogang's superior reaction speed 64.
• Xie Yue gains an initial practical mastery after twenty-seven days of intensive training in the Soul Hunting Forest 64.

Dragonblood Medicinal Bath

Xie Yue undergoes Yu Xiaogang's Dragonblood Medicinal Bath as the condition for becoming his formal disciple 21.

• Repeated destruction and healing strengthen his body and meridians 21.
• He remains conscious and enters a cultivation state despite extreme pain, demonstrating the resolve Yu Xiaogang requires of a disciple 21.
• The first treatment elevates his physical strength to the equivalent of a Level 25 Soul Master 22.
• This strengthened constitution helps him withstand unusually old Soul Rings, including his 5,200-year third ring 63.

Relationships

• Yu Xiaogang — Teacher and mentor. Xie Yue seeks him out for tailored Soul Ring guidance, formally becomes his disciple, and develops unwavering trust in his training and judgment 20 22 55 64.
• Hu Liena — Younger sister. The siblings were raised together after their parents' deaths; Xie Yue's central motivation for becoming stronger is protecting her 18 21.
• Bibi Dong — Pope of Spirit Hall and Hu Liena's teacher. She supports Yu Xiaogang's decision to accept Xie Yue, arranging medicinal ingredients and healing supervision for his trial 21.
• Ye Lingling — Fellow disciple and prospective tournament teammate. Xie Yue becomes briefly anxious that she may receive instruction he lacks, reflecting his competitive drive 55.
• Yan — Classmate and rival. Xie Yue finds Yan troublesome, mediates his arguments with Hu Liena, and later surpasses him through Yu Xiaogang's training and resources 19 62.
• Tang San — Opponent. Xie Yue defeats him with Moonlight Instant Strike, then deliberately challenges Tang San's faith in his own teacher's Soul Ring theory 57 61.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment as Yu Xiaogang's Disciple

After observing Yu Xiaogang's effortless defeat of Yan, Xie Yue asks to become his disciple. He recognizes that early guidance could determine the ceiling of his cultivation and accepts both mental pressure and body-tempering trials to prove himself 20 21.

Moon Blade Development

Yu Xiaogang identifies the Moon Blade's connection to moonlight and directs Xie Yue toward a high-age Moonshadow Wind-Chasing Lynx ring rather than a conventional assault-type choice. The resulting Moonlight Instant Strike becomes the foundation of Xie Yue's mobility-based combat style 22.

Growth through Immortal Herb and Third Soul Ring

An Immortal Herb evolves Xie Yue's Moon Blade and raises him to Level 30. He waits for Yu Xiaogang to redesign his third-ring plan, then absorbs a 5,200-year Shattered Moon Locust ring and gains Thousand Moon Instant Kill 55 63.

Conflict with Tang San and Flender

Xie Yue defends Yu Xiaogang against Tang San's accusation of impersonation, defeats Tang San in a duel, and rejects the claim that his victory was mere luck. He later uses pointed criticism of Blue Silver Entanglement to expose gaps in the other Yu Xiaogang's theoretical guidance 57 58 61.

Intensive Soul Hunting Forest Training

Yu Xiaogang privately trains Xie Yue for twenty-seven days, teaching him to combine teleportation, high-speed movement, weapon control, and illusion-like feints into a flexible derivative Self-Created Soul Skill 64.

Future Potential

Yu Xiaogang considers Xie Yue his favored disciple, plans especially demanding training to prepare him for a possible ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring, and believes he has the potential to become a god. He also intends to provide valuable Soul Bones for Xie Yue's future growth 68 76.
