Characteristics

Soul Rings are condensed or absorbed sources of soul power that grant skills. Their age affects their quality, with crossing a major age threshold producing a qualitative change. 4

• Ring colors visibly reflect their level; Chen Xing's early configuration consists of purple thousand-year rings, while ten-thousand-year rings appear black and hundred-thousand-year rings appear red. 4 88 101 201
• Soul Rings can strengthen a Soul Master's body during absorption, but rings with incompatible attributes may also endanger or influence the wielder and their martial soul. 37
• A transformed soul beast can condense a Soul Ring directly without hunting another soul beast, provided it has sufficient energy and physical endurance. 4 106
• A soul beast in human form can choose a ring's skill effect while condensing it, as long as the skill does not depart from the nature of its martial soul. 106
• A seventh Soul Ring normally produces the same skill regardless of source: Avatar of the Martial Soul. 82

Acquisition and Absorption

Condensation

Chen Xing condenses his early rings by pouring his own soul power into a forming ring. His rings initially manifest white, then shift through yellow before becoming purple as their age rises. 4

• His first ring reaches 2,000 years after Whale Rubber and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone improve his endurance. 4
• His second ring reaches 4,200 years, again pushing the limit of his capacity. 5
• Physical condition determines the age a Soul Master can safely condense or absorb. Chen Xing later estimates that strengthened bodies may support a ten-thousand-year third ring. 209

Hunting

A slain soul beast may leave behind a Soul Ring that condenses from black points of light above its corpse. 24

• Chen Xing kills multiple ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the Martial Soul Hall Soul Hunting Ground and collects their rings. 24
• Soul Rings may carry attributes that are unsuitable for a martial soul; Chen Xing rejects poison- and fire-associated options out of concern for Purple Imperial Bamboo. 37 55
• An External Soul Bone contained within a ring manifests only after the ring is absorbed. 145

God-Given Soul Rings

God-Given Soul Rings can grow according to the Soul Master's physical endurance and may potentially reach one million years. 263

• Chen Xing receives two God-Given Soul Rings after a Sea God trial, either of which could allow his two-martial-soul configuration to advance beyond level 90. 263
• He begins absorbing the eighth Soul Ring of the Ice Heaven Snow Spirit using one of these rings. 267

System Storage and Refreshing

Chen Xing's Pandora's Bench provides nine reserve slots for Soul Rings and refreshes the stored rings' effects or origins daily. 7 8

• Stored rings can be held for later absorption rather than attached immediately. 24
• Chen Xing uses the reserve system to search for rings capable of awakening or improving his second martial soul. 24 37
• A stored ring can be absorbed by another person; A-Zi successfully absorbs Chen Xing's 2,200-year Thunder Prison Vine Soul Ring. 145
• Chen Xing can lock stored rings to prevent daily refreshes from scattering the souls associated with them. He locks Da Ming's, Er Ming's, and Xiao Wu's rings for this reason. 271
• The system can randomize a million-year ring into the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Soul Ring, granting Dragon God Claw. 275
