A Detailed Explanation of Martial Soul Awakening

Innate Soul Power is closely related to the strength of a Martial Soul: those with high Innate Soul Power are bound to have a strong Martial Soul. However, those with a strong Martial Soul do not necessarily have equally outstanding Innate Soul Power-the difference depends on their physical constitution.

1. Martial Soul Quality

Before the age of six, children convert the nutrients they consume into energy that nourishes their Martial Souls. Given sufficient energy, a Martial Soul can develop to its optimal state based on its inherited traits and may even undergo a mutation. Once a Martial Soul mutates, it consumes a vast amount of energy, and the strength and consistency of that energy supply will lead to different outcomes.

2. Innate Soul Power Is Not Entirely "Innate"

The amount of Innate Soul Power a person possesses is determined jointly by the strength of their Martial Soul and their physical constitution at the time of awakening.

Under normal circumstances, there is no Soul Power in the human body before awakening. Innate Soul Power is therefore, in essence, generated by the stimulation that occurs at the moment of awakening. This power is not refined from the surrounding environment on the spot; rather, it is energy previously stored within the Martial Soul that is activated and released. The amount of this energy depends on two factors:

Martial Soul strength: Determined by bloodline inheritance and subsequent mutations, it also represents the upper limit of a Martial Soul's efficiency in refining external energy.

Physical constitution: Determined by the nutrients accumulated during growth, it affects the maximum amount of Innate Soul Power the body can contain.

In other words, Martial Soul quality determines the upper limit of a Soul Master's potential, while physical constitution determines whether that Soul Master can realize their full potential.
