Awakening and Soul Power
A Martial Soul is awakened in childhood and determines whether its wielder can pursue the path of a Soul Master. Innate Soul Power varies greatly: Tong Yu initially awakened a dog-type Martial Soul with only Level 2 Innate Soul Power, while Na'er awakened the Silver Dragon Spear with Innate Full Soul Power at Level 10 52 117.
- Soul Masters obtain spirit rings as they advance; a ring configuration is a major indicator of strength.
- A Martial Soul may grant or develop a domain. Ha Luosa awakened the Netherworld King Sword with a domain at age six 15.
- Some resources can overcome cultivation barriers or grant soul power to those otherwise unable to cultivate normally, such as the Barrier Breaking Pill and Tang San's gifts to Jixiang 83 156.
- Martial Souls can affect a wielder's profession and combat role, including healer, combatant, controller, Soul Engineer, Battle Armor Master, or Mecha Master 28 105.
Evolution and Mutation
Martial Souls can change beyond their initial form through mutation, evolution, bloodline development, or special opportunities.
| Martial Soul | Change | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Five Elements Qilin | Tong Yu's weak dog-type Martial Soul mutated after a poisoning incident | Became a top-tier Martial Soul; Tong Yu later developed two domains and became a resistance leader against the Abyss Plane 52 |
| Six-winged Angel | Qian Renxue used one of three evolution opportunities | Her evolution succeeded; she later gained the Judgment Domain and reached Level 70 52 54 |
| Light Shadow Dragon Dagger | Xie Xie's Martial Soul evolved | Transformed into the Time Dragon 28 |
| Three-Pao | Its Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Radiant Holy Dragon bloodlines can develop | Can evolve into a top-tier Martial Soul and perform a rare fusion skill 194 |
| Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon | Possesses evolutionary and regressive genes | Yu Tianheng's Martial Soul evolved into the Radiant Holy Dragon 203 |
| Dark Blue Silver Grass | Special devouring ability | Can devour flesh, spirit, and plant vitality to grow rapidly 187 |
| Nine-Tailed Demon Fox | Hu Liena received a meteor blessing | Her Martial Soul evolved from its prior form, increasing her innate talent and soul power limit 130 |
Martial Soul Fusion Skills
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill is formed through complementary Martial Souls and tacit understanding between users 117. They are rare, particularly at the Titled Douluo level, and may be categorized by function 116 131.
| Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Skill-type | Focuses on releasing a powerful technique | Two Extremes Prohibition Domain, Instant Light, Ice Snow Falling 131 |
| Creature-type | Merges two users into a single combat form | Enchantress; Netherworld White Tiger 131 |
| Fusion-type | A third stated category of fusion skills 131 | — |
| Control-type | Restrains or immobilizes targets; rare among fusion skills | Two Extremes Stillness Domain uses the Power of Space and has no offensive capability 116 138 |
| Attack-type | Primarily delivers offensive force | Instant Light 118 |
- Yue Guan and Gui Mei's Two Extremes Stillness Domain is a control-type fusion skill involving the Power of Space; it has been used to immobilize powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts 116.
- Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong possess multiple fusion skills, including the evolved Golden Road; Huo Yuhao also possesses the triple fusion skill Purple Gold Butterfly Dragon Transformation 127 128.
- A fusion skill may require special conditions. Lu Chen's acquired Netherworld White Tiger requires his White Tiger Ability Lock and the consent of a Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul wielder, but no practice 100.
