``` [Martial Soul Quality Ranking, fifteenth place: Tearful Flute of the Departed]
[Representative owner: Gongsun Li (Skin · Smoke of Parting Sorrow)]
[Representative affiliated faction: Chang'an City]
[Evaluation: God Level spiritual/control/agility attack system tool martial soul. One tool, two forms, one soul. Its normal form is a flute, while its transformed form is an umbrella, accompanied by smoke souls. The flute's melody could disrupt the mind, draw out an opponent's inner demons and regrets, and break down their defenses.
The smoke souls were outlined in ink wash and gilded lines, one white and one black, both righteous and wicked. The white smoke soul resembled flowers wrapping around its target, with blue-green hues seeping through the ink, drawing people into intoxication; the black smoke soul was accented with red, making it look as though Karma Fire had wrapped around one's body, striking fear into all who saw it.
When the flute's melody and smoke souls were combined, they formed the Mind-Disrupting Ink-Wash Illusion. Once a listener heard the flute, they would instantly fall deep into the illusion. Unless the opponent was vastly stronger or possessed an utterly flawless state of mind, they would be unable to break free!
Furthermore, this martial soul's umbrella form possessed extremely powerful mobility. It even contained a short-range instantaneous Flash that ignored space and obstacles, making its movements impossible to predict!]
