Cultivation Mechanics

  • A Soul Master ordinarily needs a Soul Ring to complete a breakthrough; wielders of Twin Martial Souls may require two Soul Rings instead. 224
  • Soul Rings provide Soul Skills and increase a Soul Master's Soul Power. Excess power from a ring can remain accumulated until another ring is absorbed. 29
  • Physical constitution is the primary requirement for absorbing Hundred-Year and Thousand-Year Soul Rings, while Soul Rings beyond Ten Thousand Years also carry residual Soul Beast Spiritual Power that must be endured. 29
  • A Soul Beast's willing sacrifice can allow a Soul Master to absorb a Soul Ring beyond normal age limits. 252
  • The conventional Soul Ring age theory is presented as the safest standard for ordinary Soul Masters, even if exceptional individuals can exceed it. 29

Martial Souls

A Martial Soul is the basis of a Soul Master's cultivation and combat style. It may be a Tool Martial Soul, Beast Martial Soul, Weapon Martial Soul, or another specialized type. Soul Masters commonly declare both their Martial Soul and Soul Power level before battle. 1 21

Soul Rings and Soul Skills

  • Soul Rings are acquired from Soul Beasts and grant Soul Skills, such as the Netherworld Bird's Phantom Stealth invisibility skill. 14
  • A Soul Skill's effect can differ significantly from the abilities possessed by the Soul Beast that provided its ring. 29
  • Higher-ranked Soul Masters may possess increasingly potent abilities; the Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar, is described as the qualitative boundary associated with Soul Saints. 160
  • Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are stated to guarantee a Soul Bone upon death when the killer has an empty Soul Bone slot. 315

Exceptional Ring Fusion

Luo Ling's Homologous Twin Martial Souls demonstrate an abnormal form of progression: when his Martial Souls fuse, their Soul Rings can fuse, increasing ring age and strengthening their Soul Skills. 14

  • The fused rings retain the abilities of both original rings. 14
  • Early in his cultivation, two Hundred-Year Soul Rings fuse into a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. 14
  • After his Martial Souls begin naturally merging, his Soul Rings remain fused and his Soul Skills retain their fused-state effects. 181 182
  • He must still obtain two Soul Rings at future breakthroughs, after which they automatically fuse into one. 182

Soul Battles

The Great Soul Arena is a venue where Soul Masters conduct Spirit Fights, gain combat experience, and earn badges through victories. 49

  • Arena combat is used to improve practical fighting ability and train control techniques. 49
  • Badges mark a competitor's record; Mystic Mage holds a Diamond Spirit Fight Badge, while Hua LeiSi holds a Gold Spirit Arena Badge. 71 72
  • Mystic Mage's reputation is built on more than three hundred undefeated Spirit Fights, including a victory over one Soul King and six Soul Ancestors while he was level 46. 51 71

Taboos

  • Techniques that increase strength by devouring flesh and blood are considered taboo among Soul Masters. 86
  • Devouring Soul Beast corpses is treated differently from devouring humans or Soul Masters; the latter can result in being wanted by the entire Soul Master world. 86
  • Evil Soul Masters are widely reviled for using flesh and blood to strengthen themselves and for becoming violent, bloodthirsty, and uncontrollable through excessive devouring. 205
