Background
A Martial Soul is the central manifestation of a soul master's power. It is awakened in childhood and determines the user's cultivation path, combat methods, and compatibility with spirit rings, spirit bones, and inherited abilities. Shen Lian's awakening demonstrates that an individual may possess Twin Martial Souls; his are the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon and the Shen family's inherited Dragon-Slaying Blade. 1
Martial Souls can be inherited through bloodlines. The Dragon-Slaying Blade is the Shen family's inherited Martial Soul, while the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon is tied to the Xu imperial family's lineage and divine inheritance. Access to the Xu family's inheritance requires awakening the dragon Martial Soul and possessing innate soul power of at least level nine. 1 6 9
Spirit-ring absorption can alter a Martial Soul. Shen Lian's first ring caused the Dragon-Slaying Blade to mutate after the Red-Armored Violent Bear's Red Dragon subspecies bloodline resonated with his Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon. 3
