Volume One

"The 18th, Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul, an extremely powerful auxiliary-type Martial Soul. Each generation can only have one successor; at any given time, there can only be two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters alive. Only when one dies can another potentially appear in the next generation. It can be said to be the Martial Soul with the fewest in existence."

Beast Martial Souls function by combining the human body with the Martial Soul, imbuing oneself with the power of the beast to reach a state of unity between man and soul, known as Martial Soul Avatar. Furthermore, when a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, their mental fortitude must be sufficiently resilient; otherwise, if they cannot withstand the power of the Soul Ring, they will explode and die.

"If I finish reading all these books, I'm afraid I'll go straight from 'introductory' to 'interred'," Su Xing muttered to himself.

Tool Martial Souls are different; the vast majority of Tool Martial Souls function outside the body, and the auxiliary nature of Tool Martial Souls is greater than that of Beast Martial Souls. Additionally, some Martial Souls can serve as food. As long as it is a food-type Martial Soul, it can be eaten. You can understand Soul Power as a form of energy; biological consumption is simply the intake of energy.

Secondly, Soul Beasts are extremely proud. They will not allow themselves to be captured. Once severely injured, they often resort to self-detonation to prevent Soul Masters from absorbing their Soul Rings.

"Not bad. Now that I've finished the basic introduction to Martial Souls, let's take a look at the books on Martial Soul cultivation," Su Xing continued reading.

Seeing this, Su Xing licked his dry lips, thinking, My Sickle, as a Tool Martial Soul, has decent attack power; I should probably develop toward the combat type.

After returning to the single dormitory prepared by the academy, Su Xing rested briefly before beginning his meditative cultivation.

"The 6th, Seven-Kill Sword Martial Soul, one of the few top-tier Tool Martial Souls capable of contending with the Clear Sky Hammer. The Seven-Kill Sword is four feet three inches long, about three inches wide, with a hilt length of one foot two inches. It can be said to be one of the most powerful offensive Martial Souls."

The identification of a Soul Beast's age is mainly observed through the color of their Soul Power when they attack. The color of a Soul Beast's attack is the same as the color of their Soul Ring: ten-year Soul Beasts are white, hundred-year are yellow, thousand-year are purple, and so on.

"The 473rd, Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, a typical trash Martial Soul. Possessors have almost no Soul Power, cannot cultivate their Martial Soul, and cannot become Soul Masters."

Publisher: Nuoding Academy Primary Soul Master Academy Press.

"The 19th, Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul, an extremely powerful Beast Martial Soul. Its defensive power can be called the strongest in the Douluo Continent; legend has it that it can withstand the attacks of the strongest Tool Martial Souls."

Editor-in-Chief: Yu Xiaogang.

After finishing the Detailed Explanation of Douluo Continent Martial Souls, Su Xing let out a long sigh and closed the book. Although Su Xing has not yet obtained a Soul Ring, and his current meditative cultivation cannot increase his Soul Power level, it can accumulate Soul Power for him. Once he obtains a Soul Ring, his Soul Power level will be able to increase in a short period of time...

Every Soul Master has a different development direction, such as food type, reconnaissance type, combat type, healing type, control type, and auxiliary type.

"The 5th, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It is the undisputed strongest auxiliary Martial Soul, circulating in the legends of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Su Xing opened the Detailed Explanation of Douluo Continent Martial Souls and flipped through it casually.

A Soul Ring can not only provide a boost to a Soul Master's attributes but also imbue the Soul Master with special skills. For example, if you obtain a ten-year Soul Ring with matching attributes, your Martial Soul's unique attributes will increase by ten; if it is a hundred-year Soul Ring, its unique attributes will increase by one hundred.

Only after determining the development direction of your Martial Soul will you avoid conflicts between your Martial Soul and Soul Rings during the process of obtaining them in the future.

And a book forgotten in the corner, covered in dust: Peerless Martial Soul Record.

Having said that, Su Xing opened the book Basics of Martial Soul Cultivation: Although absorbing a Soul Ring can increase a Soul Master's strength, the requirements for attaching a Soul Ring are extremely harsh. First, after a Soul Beast dies, the Soul Ring exists for a very short time, and the resulting Soul Ring can only be absorbed by the Soul Master who killed it.

"The 2nd, Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul. As the origin of the dragon race, it possesses powerful light energy and is naturally a restraint to all evil. Those who possess the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul are born with innate full Soul Power. It once appeared on the Douluo Continent, but it has now been lost."

The skills added by a hundred-year Soul Ring are, under normal circumstances, far superior to those of a ten-year Soul Ring.

"The 212th, Residual Dream Martial Soul. This type of Martial Soul is very rare and is an extremely terrifying Martial Soul. It belongs to the mental-type Martial Soul and can weave nightmares for people, causing them to die miserably in their own dreams."

Seeing the end, Su Xing discovered that this book was actually compiled by Grandmaster, which made him feel a bit dumbfounded.

"The 4th, Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the hereditary Martial Soul of the Clear Sky Sect. It holds the title of the world's number one Tool Martial Soul. The Martial Soul is known for its immense power and explosive force, and it is the nemesis of all assault-type Martial Souls."

Looking at the stacks of books in his hands, Su Xing faintly recalled his high school life in his previous life; that was a passionate and hair-thinning time.

They correspond to the five colors of Soul Rings: white, yellow, purple, black, and red. The longer a Soul Beast cultivates, the stronger its strength, and the better the effect of the Soul Ring it produces.

They are the ten-year Soul Beast, hundred-year Soul Beast, thousand-year Soul Beast, as well as the ten-thousand-year Soul Beast and the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.

"The 1st, Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, the hereditary Martial Soul of the Qian Family of Martial Soul Hall. It is the Martial Soul closest to the gods on the Douluo Continent and is the spokesperson for the Angel God. It is noble, sacred, and inviolable. Those who possess the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul have an innate full Soul Power of level twenty."

Detailed Explanation of Douluo Continent Martial Souls, Douluo Continent Soul Beast Identification Manual, Basics of Martial Soul Cultivation, How Soul Masters Should Hunt Soul Beasts, Five Thousand Years of Douluo Continent, Self-Cultivation of a Soul Master, Beauty Appreciation Manual, How to Become a Sea King...

"The 213th, Lone Wolf Martial Soul, a typical Beast Martial Soul, possessing the icy attribute of the wolf Martial Soul."

"The 20th, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul. The neutral immortal herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, when consumed, can circulate energy through the limbs, clear the eight meridians, and forge an indestructible body. It is the pinnacle of plant-type Martial Souls."

However, although a hundred-year and a nine-hundred-year Soul Ring have the same color, the difference in the added attributes is significant. Under normal circumstances, the limit for the first Soul Ring should be four hundred and twenty-three years, the second Soul Ring...

Soul Beasts are generally divided into five levels according to their age.

"The 3rd, Seagod Martial Soul, a god-level Martial Soul on par with the Angel God. The image of the Martial Soul is the Seagod holding the Seagod Trident. Soul Masters who possess the Seagod Martial Soul can easily mobilize the power of the ocean and are almost invincible in the sea."

"Phew..."

The above rankings are in no particular order.

After putting these books into his Soul Tool, Su Xing jogged back to his dormitory and began to study them earnestly.

"The 214th, Thunder Eagle Martial Soul, a bird-type Beast Martial Soul, known in the Soul Master world for its super-high speed and powerful explosive force."

Martial Souls are divided into two major categories: Beast Martial Souls and Tool Martial Souls.

After finishing his meditative cultivation, Su Xing first went to the academy cafeteria for a simple meal, then went to the Nuoding Academy library to borrow some books on Martial Soul cultivation.
