Biodata
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Martial Soul (武魂) |
| Alias(es) | Martial Spirit |
| First Appearance | Chapter 5 |
Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wild Flower Martial Soul | 5 | Ye Qing's original three-petaled Martial Soul. It was considered incapable of combat, support, or other effects; Ye Qing possessed only level-three Soul Power. |
| Nine-Leaf Green Lotus | 5 6 | The Aromatic Silk Beauty evolved the Wild Flower into a crystalline nine-petaled lotus and raised Ye Qing to Innate Full Soul Power. |
| Chaos Green Lotus | 16 | A second mutation after Ye Qing's month in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The lotus fused extreme ice and fire, creating the Chaos Green Flame. |
| Seventy-two-petal Chaos Green Lotus | 46 57 | After absorbing two high-level Soul Rings, the lotus expanded from fifty-four to seventy-two petals. Its ice-and-fire fusion was judged to exceed ordinary top-tier Martial Souls. |
| Autonomous Soul Ring refinement | 119 | The Chaos Green Lotus displayed a devouring instinct, absorbed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Iceberg Snow Lotus, and refined it into a blood-red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. |
Mechanics
Awakening and aptitude
Humans awaken their Martial Souls at approximately six years old; their initial Soul Power determines their starting cultivation potential. Ye Qing's former level-three Soul Power placed him among the lowest-ranked talents before the Aromatic Silk Beauty altered both his aptitude and Martial Soul. 5 6 106
A Martial Soul's quality can drastically affect a Soul Master's prospects. Ye Qing's Wild Flower was dismissed as useless, while the evolved Chaos Green Lotus gave him innate ice-and-fire power capable of defeating opponents without activating Soul Rings. 5 29
Soul Rings and Soul Skills
A normal Soul Master gains one Soul Ring for each ten levels of Soul Power and is ordinarily limited to nine rings. Soul Rings grant Soul Skills and permanently strengthen the user's physical attributes. 20 130
- A ring's compatibility matters: the Chaos Green Lotus rejects Soul Rings with unsuitable attributes. 21
- Absorption can involve violent energy and a Soul Beast's lingering consciousness; Ye Qing relies on the Chaos Green Flame and strong spiritual defenses to suppress these dangers. 19 183
- The standard level-seventy seventh ring grants a Martial Soul Avatar. 190
- Ye Qing is an exception: his Martial Soul can ultimately support eighteen Soul Rings, with two rings obtainable per ten levels through his Ten-Level Dual Ring talent. 20 58
Manifestation
Martial Souls may manifest as plants, beasts, weapons, or other forms, and can alter the user's body through Martial Soul Possession.
- Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon users can transform an arm into a dragon claw through the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique. 33
- Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor can manifest as Dugu Bo's mountain-sized Martial Soul Avatar. 23
- The Golden Sacred Dragon is a Martial Soul fusion created by Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang. 149
- The Chaos Green Lotus manifests as a cyan lotus whose petals contain intertwined extreme cold and extreme heat. 57
Martial Soul oaths
Swearing upon a Martial Soul is treated as the gravest binding oath among Soul Masters. Breaking such an oath causes Martial Soul backlash and the loss of all cultivation. Dugu Yan's wager with Ye Qing was sworn on their Martial Souls, compelling her to honor its terms if he cured her poison. 5 57
Evolution and Mutation
Immortal Grade herbs can break natural talent limits and evolve a Martial Soul rather than merely increase Soul Power. 6
| Recipient | Original Martial Soul | Evolved Martial Soul | Cause / Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ye Qing | Wild Flower | Nine-Leaf Green Lotus | The Aromatic Silk Beauty transformed his three-petaled flower and elevated him from level-three Soul Power to Innate Full Soul Power. 5 6 |
| Ye Qing | Nine-Leaf Green Lotus | Chaos Green Lotus | The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot fused within him, producing a second mutation and the Chaos Green Flame. 16 |
| Dugu Yan | Jade Phosphorous Serpent | Green Phosphorus Flood Dragon | After receiving the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to balance her poison attribute, her Martial Soul evolved into a horned, clawed poison flood dragon and her Soul Power reached level 40. 24 42 |
Notable Martial Souls
| Martial Soul | User(s) | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Chaos Green Lotus | Ye Qing | A uniquely mutated lotus combining extreme ice and fire. It wields Chaos Green Flame, can develop hidden traits through Soul Rings, and possesses an eighteen-ring capacity. 16 18 58 |
| Green Phosphorus Flood Dragon | Dugu Yan | A poison-element flood dragon evolved from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. Its fourth Soul Skill, Green Phosphorus Flood Dragon Armor, nullified Yu Tianxin's Thunder Fall. 24 42 |
| Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor | Dugu Bo | A poison-based serpent Martial Soul capable of forming a massive Martial Soul Avatar. 23 |
| Ice Phoenix | Shui Bing'er | A powerful ice Martial Soul with a serious flaw: its user cannot safely unleash its full power without resolving the strain it places on her body. 135 |
| Evil Fire Phoenix | Ma Hongjun | A Phoenix Martial Soul whose evil fire intensifies its user's primal desires and impulses over prolonged cultivation. 97 |
| Blue Silver Grass | Tang San | Commonly regarded as useless, yet Tang San cultivated it to level 32 by age twelve or thirteen and paired it with hidden weapons and poison techniques. 81 |
Exceptional Properties of the Chaos Green Lotus
- Dual attributes — Its Chaos Green Flame harmonizes extreme cold and extreme heat rather than merely wielding both elements separately. 16
- Toxin devouring — Ye Qing discovered that the Martial Soul could devour toxins to strengthen him. 18
- Ring-energy suppression — The Chaos Green Flame subdued the violent power of a Thousand-Year Soul Ring during Ye Qing's first absorption. 19
- Autonomous hunger — After Ye Qing fused the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God Pearl, the Martial Soul began displaying independent instincts toward powerful treasures. 119
- Herb-to-ring refinement — It converted the Hundred-Thousand-Year Iceberg Snow Lotus into a Soul Ring without killing a Soul Beast or producing resentment. 119
