Background / History
Ratio was introduced as a mysterious, highly respected instructor at Spirit Hall Advanced Soul Master Academy. His classes were notoriously strict, but students sought them out for the breadth and originality of his knowledge. His stated purpose was to cure ignorance through education and enable people to approach truth through their own experience. 1 39
His early work challenged established Soul Master doctrine. He taught the Ten Core Competencies Theory, presented a formula for predicting a newborn's martial soul, and developed theories involving soul-ring fusion, the Three Elements Fusion Skill, and soul power meridians. 1 4 52
While researching soul rings, Ratio concluded that the resentment produced by violent soul-beast deaths could harm a Soul Master's talent and soul power. He consequently pursued a means for Soul Masters and soul beasts to coexist without the former needing to kill the latter for rings. 52 60
His research eventually enabled soul beasts to produce their own soul rings. This breakthrough brought Di Tian to Spirit Hall for negotiations and established Ratio as a central figure in human–soul beast cooperation. 71 73
Ratio's public influence expanded beyond scholarship after his company used its revenue for charitable education. Common people began calling him the Saint Teacher, while increasingly fervent supporters elevated him above conventional political and religious authority. 112 126 130
After casually killing the God of Slaughter Xiu Pu Ruo Si, Ratio's standing became even more absolute. He later introduced the Pseudo-God Theory, a path by which Soul Masters could reach level 100 without a God Position, and began holding weekly public knowledge lectures. 145 147 151
He subsequently taught Soul Tool principles, Core Arrays, and advanced crafting methods to the public. He also accepted selected successful crafters as students, including Sea God Poseidon, Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, Sword Douluo, and others. 177 179 181 182
In later research, Ratio developed cultivation methods, created and governed an Inner World, and constructed entry structures across Douluo Continent so living beings could enter it in spiritual form. 237 259 295
Appearance
Ratio has a fit, statue-like physique and is repeatedly noted for his exceptional beauty. He habitually conceals his face beneath a distinctive plaster or stone headpiece, making his appearance immediately recognizable across the continent. 52 98 295
- Wears a plaster head or stone-like mask that obscures his face. 142 227 295
- Has a muscular, well-proportioned body described as beautiful like a statue. 52 295
- His portrait became widely circulated and admired in Martial Soul City. 98
- Can appear in other forms, including a younger body resembling a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old boy. 300
Personality
Ratio is aloof, blunt, and intensely focused on research. He rejects empty flattery, political maneuvering, and dependence on him; when Shi Nian attempted to address him as teacher, Ratio refused and told him to continue developing his own work independently. 39
He values truth, personal inquiry, and practical understanding over reputation. Although he shares foundational knowledge freely, he deliberately withholds direct answers when doing so would prevent others from learning through experience. 31 115 147
Despite his cold manner, Ratio acts from a physician's benevolent heart. His work on self-produced soul rings, equal access to education, cultivation methods, and the Inner World consistently seeks to improve the prospects of both humans and soul beasts. 52 60 126 295
