Soul Ring Pavilion

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Ling Feng and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect spent three months negotiating their cooperation before jointly creating Soul Ring Pavilion. Ling Feng condensed large quantities of rings during this period, while the sect's resources and intelligence network supported the pavilion's establishment and later publicity campaign 16 30.

Before its public opening, the pavilion's core methods had already attracted attention from major forces. Ning Fengzhi revealed to Xue Qinghe that the pavilion sold Soul Rings extracted from living Soul Beasts, allowing any Soul Master to absorb them without killing the original beast 17.

The pavilion opened amid a large gathering of ordinary Soul Masters and spies from powerful factions. Ling Feng selected a middle-aged attendee for a free public demonstration, using a token bearing a Void Mark to enable his absorption of a Hundred-Year Soul Ring 30. The successful demonstration turned widespread skepticism into demand and drew immediate interest from Spirit Hall and other forces 31 33.

Operations & Methods

Nonlethal Soul Ring Extraction

Soul Ring Pavilion's defining service is the extraction of Soul Rings from living Soul Beasts. The process reduces the beast's Soul Power but does not require its death.

• Ling Feng extracted a Hundred-Year Soul Ring from a five-thousand-year Gale Wolf; the wolf remained physically unchanged aside from reduced Soul Power 12.
• A Hundred-Year ring was later extracted from the Golden Thunder Dragon Beast without killing it, honoring Na'er's wish to spare the creature 79.
• Extracted rings produce Soul Skills related to their source Soul Beasts, as with conventionally obtained rings 1.
• At opening, the pavilion publicly offered rings below Fifty Thousand Years; quantities of high-year rings were limited 31 33.
• Rings exceeding Fifty Thousand Years were described as possible future offerings, while Hundred-Thousand-Year rings were not publicly offered at the opening 30 31.

Void Mark Tokens

A Void Mark serves as the medium between a stored Soul Ring and its intended absorber.

• Ling Feng can embed a Void Mark into a wooden token, allowing a purchaser to absorb a corresponding Soul Ring without Ling Feng personally attending the process 30.
• A Void Mark within a token can remain effective for several months 30.
• Void Marks can calm the violent and negative energy within rings taken from deceased Soul Beasts, making them easier to absorb and transferable to other Soul Masters 7.

Soul Ring Fusion

Soul Ring Fusion raises a base ring's quality by breaking down the barriers between rings and transferring the years of other rings into it.

• The resulting Soul Skill remains connected to the base ring's Soul Beast source 80.
• Ling Feng fused a Ten-Thousand-Year ring into a Hundred-Year Golden Thunder Dragon Beast ring, creating a Five-Thousand-Year ring for Yu Tianheng 79 80.
• Yu Tianheng's fused ring granted Thunder Dragon Domain, a powerful wide-range group attack 81.
• Ling Feng's first successful Hundred-Thousand-Year fusion allowed Dugu Bo to gain two Soul Skills: Jade Phosphorous Divine Light and Jade Phosphorous Poison Domain 29.
• Ling Feng explains that removing the resentment left by a Soul Beast's death leaves only pure Soul Power, greatly reducing absorption difficulty 29.

Customer Absorption

Soul Ring Pavilion's rings are notable for their low absorption resistance and powerful resulting Soul Skills.

• Even Soul Masters with weak physiques had reportedly absorbed purchased Hundred-Year rings without the severe pain normally associated with the process 5.
• Spirit Hall's testing confirmed that Hu Liena and several promising Soul Masters could absorb pavilion rings smoothly and painlessly 34.
• Hu Liena's Thousand-Year ring granted Demon Fox Power, a Third Soul Skill that ignores defense 34.

Security and Influence

• Zhao Yun and Dugu Bo provided security when the pavilion opened, allowing it to sell Ten-Thousand-Year rings without fear of immediate retaliation 30.
• Dugu Bo repelled the Thieving Saint Gang's attempted robbery after revealing his status as a Titled Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring 31 32.
• Ling Feng later entrusted Dugu Bo with responsibility for guarding the pavilion, where his poison arts and Titled Douluo strength deterred hostile forces 32 33 122.
• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence network spread news of the opening throughout Douluo Continent, drawing customers, observers, and spies from top factions 30.
• By the time of Ling Feng's visit to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Meng Shenji's group considered the pavilion's prestige second only to Spirit Hall; its influence among unaffiliated Soul Masters was especially strong 71.
• Spirit Hall identifies the pavilion as a major obstacle to its ambition of unifying Douluo Continent because its rings can attract and empower independent Soul Masters 34.
