Martial Soul

Biodata

Function in Cultivation

• A soul master's Martial Soul defines the foundation and direction of their cultivation. Soul Rings are attached to a specific Martial Soul and grant Soul Skills. 37 398
• Twin Martial Souls allow their bearer to cultivate more than one Martial Soul independently. Long Zhanye initially possessed the inherited Heart and the god-level Heavenly Eye. 2
• A Martial Soul can be catastrophically damaged. When Ma Xiaotao destroyed Long Zhanye's Heart Martial Soul, the collapse of its origin severely damaged his heart meridians, blood flow, and physical foundation. 6 14
• Possessing another Martial Soul can preserve a path of cultivation after one Martial Soul is destroyed, though Long Zhanye's Heart Martial Soul made the aftermath especially dangerous. 14
• Soul Rings may be obtained from soul beasts, unusual inner cores, Spirit Souls, or God-Bestowed Soul Rings. A Chaos beast's inner core can be refined into a Soul Ring, while the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum fused with Long Zhanye as a Spirit Soul and supplied additional rings. 130 518 521

Body Martial Souls

The Body Sect accepts only soul masters whose Martial Souls are part of the body. Because these Martial Souls are scarce, the sect protects settlements such as Body Village and encourages bloodline inheritance among its members. 1

Secondary Awakening

The Body Martial Soul Secondary Awakening is one of the Body Sect's defining secret techniques. It was developed through early research into the “Secret of the Body” and causes a qualitative transformation that can multiply a Body Martial Soul's power. 17

Body Sect Secret Arts

The Body Sect's nine secret arts include the Awaken, Defense, Fuse, Transformation, Source, Spirit, Collapse, and Nirvana Secrets, as well as the Body Martial Soul Third Awakening. 621

• Fuse Secret / Body Martial Soul Grafting Technique — A prohibited theory that proposes transplanting a specially preserved Martial Soul organ into a physically compatible recipient with a damaged or defective Martial Soul. A successful graft may repair the recipient and grant some or all abilities of the grafted Martial Soul. 18 621

Martial Soul Fusion

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill combines the power of two compatible Martial Souls through coordination between their wielders.

• Red Dust Attachment — Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's fusion skill; its power is described as comparable to that of a Soul Douluo and capable of challenging one. 251
• Fusion skills can be disrupted by targeting the users before the fusion is completed. The Sun Moon Team uses this strategy against the Hongchen siblings during the tournament. 324
• Four Martial Souls can also combine through exceptional coordination, producing power that even a Soul Saint may struggle to withstand. 326

Martial Soul Avatar

A Martial Soul Avatar is an advanced manifestation that greatly enhances the user and their Martial Soul.

• Long Zhanye first activates his Sky-Propping Eye Martial Soul Avatar through his seventh Soul Ring, a 700,000-year ring. 400
• His Avatar manifests as gray-white armor and is accompanied by a colossal, mysterious giant figure that Long Zhanye cannot identify as a Soul Skill, domain, or ordinary Martial Soul manifestation. 400
• By stacking the Avatar with Silver-Grade Awakening, Unity of Heaven and Man, and other amplifications, Long Zhanye temporarily reaches combat power comparable to a Title Douluo. 473
• Before obtaining a true Avatar, Long Zhanye creates a pseudo-Avatar using six resonant Level 7 Metal Rings. The set provides a one-hundred-percent amplification and approximately seventy percent of a genuine Avatar's combat power. 330
• Long Zhanye later manifests a separate Avatar for his Qilin Arm, named the Hercules Avatar. 635
