Spirit Ring

Biodata

Power Progression

Acquisition and Absorption

Spirit Rings are normally created when a Soul Beast is killed. A Soul Master must absorb a ring after reaching level ten; otherwise, they remain a level-ten Soul Warrior and cannot advance to Soul Master 16.

• A suitable Soul Beast must be killed before its ring can be absorbed.
• The prospective user releases their Martial Soul, sits cross-legged, relaxes, and guides the ring into absorption 29.
• The ring ultimately attaches to the user's Martial Soul rather than remaining as free Soul Power in their body 41.
• An unabsorbed ring disappears after a while, making a suitable kill time-sensitive 29.
• Absorption may involve a Soul Beast's lingering consciousness or Soul Impact. Chen Huang had to destroy the Cat-headed Dog's residual consciousness during his first-ring absorption 41.

Compatibility and Limits

A Spirit Ring's age limit is tied to the absorber's physical condition. The usual first-ring limit of roughly four hundred years is based on Soul Masters reaching level ten at six or seven years old; older or physically tempered users may endure stronger rings 6 36.

Soul Masters also select rings for compatibility with their Martial Souls and intended combat role.

• Dragon-type Martial Souls may seek Soul Beasts with dragon bloodlines.
• Fire- or phoenix-type Martial Souls may favor fire-attribute or phoenix-bloodline Soul Beasts.
• Compatible rings can strengthen a Martial Soul's attributes, encourage beneficial evolution, or potentially contribute to a second awakening 21.
• Chen Huang considered vitality, defense, attack, and control-oriented plant Soul Beasts for his Weed Martial Soul, prioritizing rings that suited either his survival or his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Xiao Shan 38.

Functions

• Soul Skills — A ring grants Soul Skills to its bearer. Ordinary rings generally grant one skill, while Hundred Thousand Year rings grant two 66 164.
• Soul Power growth — Absorption can substantially raise Soul Power. Chen Huang's 1,500-year first ring raised him from level ten to level eighteen 41.
• Attribute enhancement — Rings may add or reinforce attributes such as vitality, healing, lightning, mental power, life, death, or control 42 68 187 245.
• Martial Soul evolution — Repeated compatible rings can alter a Martial Soul's development. Chen Huang's Undying Grass grew an additional leaf after gaining a Hundred Thousand Year ring, alongside a major increase in vitality 164.

Alternative Ring Sources

Chat Group Custom Soul Rings

The Chat Group shop can sell recovered Spirit Rings and create customized rings.

• Users may choose a ring's attributes and select from suitable Soul Skills.
• The ring's age automatically adjusts toward the greatest age the user can withstand.
• Ten Thousand Year custom rings cost 5,000 Points.
• Hundred Thousand Year options were initially unavailable until Chen Huang personally acquired and sold one 66.
• A purchased ring can begin at a chosen baseline age and rise during absorption until it reaches the user's limit 68.

God-Bestowed Soul Rings

Thor can grant God-Bestowed Soul Rings to individuals he considers qualified to reach his hall. Their age is determined by the recipient's tolerance, and the rings may only be used there 245.

• Chen Huang used one to raise his First Soul Ring beyond Ten Thousand Year level and gain a five-percent affinity with Thor 245.
• A second God-Bestowed ring reached over sixty thousand years and granted Thunderclap and Lightning Cloud Form 245.
• Another God-Bestowed ring used as his eighth Undying Grass ring surpassed seven hundred thousand years 248.

Artificial and Self-Originating Rings

A Martial Soul can form a self-originating Spirit Ring when stimulated with sufficient energy, an approach inspired by Xiao Shan's Blue Silver Emperor ring 210 362.

By the time Chen Huang became a Level 5 god, he had researched artificial Spirit Rings and could create Ten Thousand Year artificial rings and artificial Soul Spirits 362.

Soul Spirit Connection

A Soul Spirit is formed when a Soul Beast's soul merges completely with its Spirit Ring.

• Unlike an ordinary ring, a Soul Spirit retains self-awareness and may possess combat ability 287.
• Soul Spirits can grow alongside their Soul Master and may provide multiple Spirit Rings over time 290 314.
• Absorbing one requires sufficient Mental Power and communication with the Soul Spirit, making the process more demanding than absorbing a ring of the same age 314.
• A Hundred Thousand Year Vajra Baboon Soul Spirit gave Xiao Shan two rings and four Soul Skills across those rings 314.
