Soul Ring

Biodata

Name	Soul Ring (魂环)

Nature and Function

Soul Rings are power-bearing rings typically left behind after a Soul Beast is killed. Soul Masters absorb them to advance through cultivation bottlenecks and gain Soul Skills. The ring’s age determines both its color and the difficulty of absorption. 19 121

• A normal Soul Master absorbs one Soul Ring per ten levels of Soul Power; a conventional Title Douluo therefore possesses nine rings. 20 130
• Higher-aged rings exert greater pressure on the absorber’s body and meridians. The accepted limit for a first ring is 423 years; exceeding it is normally fatal. 19
• Soul Rings can provide Soul Skills, while each absorbed ring also permanently enhances the bearer’s physical attributes. 20
• A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring provides two Soul Skills and is stated to guarantee a Soul Bone. 105

Exceptional Cases

Ye Qing’s First Ring

Ye Qing absorbed a 1,500-year-old Ash Fire Fragrant Flower Soul Ring as his first ring, more than three times the accepted 423-year limit. His physique had been strengthened by several immortal herbs, while Chaos Green Flame suppressed the ring’s violent energy. 19

• The successful absorption made him the first documented Soul Master to begin with a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. 19
• His Soul Power rose from level 10 to level 20. 19 20
• His Chaos Green Lotus grew from nine to eighteen petals. 19
• The ring granted Green Lotus Three Profound Transformations, a three-stage enhancement that raises all attributes by 30% per stage, up to 90% total, for half an hour. 20

Ten-Level Dual Ring

Ye Qing’s Chaos Green Lotus possesses Ten-Level Dual Ring, allowing it to absorb two Soul Rings at each ten-level threshold rather than the usual one. 20

• The talent allows for a theoretical maximum of eighteen rings at level 90. 20 130
• Ye Qing’s Soul Power progression does not follow normal ring-count expectations; he possessed nine rings while his Soul Power was around level 60. 130
• His known nine-ring configuration is Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red. 149

Ring Compatibility and Autonomy

The Chaos Green Lotus rejects rings whose attributes do not suit it; only compatible rings resonate with the Martial Soul and can be absorbed. This forced Dugu Bo to search widely for suitable Soul Beasts. 21

The Martial Soul also demonstrates unprecedented autonomy:

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s ring forcibly chose Ye Qing as its master despite his reluctance to absorb it immediately. 110
• The dying Nine-Colored Deer’s ring likewise flew to Ye Qing of its own accord. 110
• The two rings fused into Ye Qing’s eighth, a single Hundred-Thousand-Year blood-red Soul Ring. 111
• After absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Iceberg Snow Lotus, the Chaos Green Lotus directly gestated a pure Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring without the usual resentment associated with a slain Soul Beast. 119 121
