First Appearance	Chapter 3 (the Soul Bone ability Exploding Flame Strike) 3

Acquisition and Use

Principle	Details
Soul Ring acquisition	A Soul Master gains Soul Skills by absorbing Soul Rings. Tuoba Yan gained Holy Healing Nine Turns after absorbing his first ring and Levitate after absorbing his second 5 22.
Soul Ring permanence	A Soul Ring is a one-time choice that cannot be replaced, making compatibility with the Martial Soul important 20.
Ring age	Older Soul Rings generally produce stronger Soul Skills. Tuoba Yan believes high-level Soul Beasts are more likely to grant additional attributes alongside a skill 20.
Multiple effects	Characters consider a Soul Ring granting more than one distinct Soul Skill highly unusual; Hu Li Na states that rings below ten thousand years normally grant only one 26.
Soul Power cost	Soul Skills consume Soul Power. As a one-ring Soul Master, Tuoba Yan nearly exhausts his Soul Power when using the Horse Talisman to recover from severe injuries 12.
Soul Bone abilities	Soul Bones can carry their own abilities, such as the Exploding Blazing Flame Right Arm Bone’s Exploding Flame Strike 3.
