Soul Skill

Biodata

Acquisition and Development

• Soul Rings: Absorbing a Soul Beast’s ring can grant a Soul Skill. The result depends on both the beast and the recipient’s Martial Soul: Liu Feng notes that the same beast can produce a weaker skill through Blue Silver Grass than through another Plant Martial Soul 18.
• Ring selection: Liu Feng chooses early rings to develop his Martial Soul and aid future cultivation rather than maximize immediate attack power. His Earth Net Spirit Root ring grants the root-based skill Deep Roots 18 26 274.
• Soul Bones: These grant distinct Soul Bone Skills. Liu Feng’s torso bone, for example, provides Azure Dragon Soul and Azure Dragon Body 596.

Types and Applications

Support and Healing

• Deep Roots forms a broad Blue Silver Grass rhizome network that gives Soul Power recovery and healing to Soul Masters standing on it. As a hundred-year skill, it can assist only a limited number of people at once, and its recovery is relatively weak 26.
• Endless Life restores vitality, physical strength, Soul Power, and injuries. Liu Feng channels it through the Deep Roots network to treat multiple wounded people 61 125.
• Sky Shading Sun Covering absorbs Soul Power from enemies beneath its leaves, heals teammates, and can slightly accelerate cultivation 475.

Amplification and Transformation

• Amplification Soul Skills can temporarily improve physical attributes. Zhang Ma’s Galloping Horse increases speed, while Zhang Niu’s Mountain Charging Qi emphasizes strength 39 46.
• Liu Feng’s Nine Twisting Vine Dragon Transformation forms dragon-patterned armor and briefly boosts attack by 50%, defense by 100%, and recovery by 200% 172 475.

Control and Attack

• Control skills can restrict movement or disrupt an opponent’s senses. Examples include large-area binding vines and Ximen Rou’s Illusionary Light, which confuses affected targets 236 698.
• Attack skills range from direct strikes to ranged effects: Liu Feng’s Sunlight Flame fires a destructive beam, while Liu Xue’s Thousand Blades Piercing Clouds launches sharpened bamboo leaves 303 698.

Soul Skill Analysis

Liu Feng studies other Soul Masters’ Amplification Soul Skills to turn their effects into techniques usable without the original Soul Rings. His research finds that reproducing a skill requires more than copying Soul Power flow: physical changes involving muscles, bones, blood vessels, and internal organs also matter 45 80.

• Analysis of Galloping Horse produces Mind Form Fist Stance—Galloping Horse, which Liu Feng practices to improve leg strength, speed, and endurance 45 46.
• Work on Mountain Charging Qi and Light Feather contributes further forms; the latter involves wind-element power and coordinated breathing 46.
• Liu Feng later studies additional Amplification Soul Skills from Tiger, Leopard, Eagle, Ape, Turtle, and Bear Martial Souls to develop his martial arts 128.

Combined Skills

• Skill combination: Liu Feng uses Deep Roots to establish a network before distributing Endless Life through its roots. Other healers enhance the resulting mass treatment 125.
• Ring fusion: Liu Feng’s fifth- and sixth-ring skills are listed alongside the fused techniques Sunlight Flame and Dragon Blast 475.
• Martial Soul Fusion Skills: Multiple participants can combine their Martial Souls into a shared ability. Liu Feng and Ah Yin create Vine Dragon Overlord Spear; Liu Feng, Ah Yin, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Xin later produce an Azure Dragon transformation 314 399.
