Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Spirit Ring — 500-year Taillow | 7 | Absorbed beyond Wu Ling's level; summoned Sasaki Kojiro and granted Swallow Reversal. |
| Second Spirit Ring — 1,500-year Nether Ghost Leopard | 17 | Produced a purple ring and summoned Hassan of the Hundred Faces. |

| Fourth Spirit Ring — Soul-Devouring Ghost Sword | 61 | Obtained after Wu Ling defeated and absorbed the weapon-type Spirit Beast's ring. |
| First four rings enhanced | 96 | After cultivation at the Ice and Fire Spring, Wu Ling's rings became purple, purple, black, and black. |
| Fifth Spirit Ring — 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape | 102 | Summoned Heracles; the ring's enhancement allowed Wu Ling to summon Heracles' prime Berserker version. |
| Sixth Spirit Ring — 100,000-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger | 138 | The tiger's nearly 60,000-year ring was raised to 100,000 years using Essence; summoned Angra Mainyu. |

Functions and Rules
Spirit Rings are formed from Spirit Beasts and serve as catalysts for a Spirit Master's growth and Spirit Skills. For Wu Ling's martial soul, each ring can also act as a catalyst for summoning a Heroic Spirit. His spirit foundation can fuse with up to nine Heroic Spirits at once. 4
| Spirit Beast Age | Corresponding Rating | Summoning Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Ten-year | One-star | Cannot summon a two-star or higher Heroic Spirit. |
| Hundred-year | One- to two-star | Can serve as a catalyst for one- or two-star Heroic Spirits. |
| Thousand-year | Three-star | Corresponds to a three-star Heroic Spirit. |
| Ten-thousand-year | Four-star | May summon a four-star Heroic Spirit, though compatibility can result in a lower-star summon receiving enhancement. |
| Hundred-thousand-year | Five-star | Corresponds to a five-star Heroic Spirit. |
| Million-year | God realm | Considered a god-level realm rather than an ordinary Spirit Beast tier. |
Absorption
A Spirit Master normally absorbs a ring after reaching the required Soul Power level. Wu Ling repeatedly exceeds conventional limits through his constitution, preparations, clones, and Heroic Spirit enhancements.
- A low-tier Spirit Beast can make an above-level absorption comparatively smooth; Wu Ling's 500-year Taillow ring was easier for him to absorb than a nearly 400-year Mandala Snake would have been. 7
- Wu Ling's clones can absorb rings on his behalf because they contain replicated portions of his soul and can use Spirit Skills. 29
- Xiao Lan can withstand roughly a 5,000-year ring, while Xiao Hong can withstand nearly 7,000 years. 29
- A hundred-thousand-year ring can strengthen an existing summon beyond its ordinary version, as Heracles' ring enabled the combined prime Berserker manifestation. 103
Age Enhancement
Spirit Ring age can be raised through Magic Circles and extracted Essence.
- A standard Soul King provides approximately 10,000 years of Essence; a Soul Emperor provides 20,000–30,000 years; a Soul Saint provides 50,000 years; a Soul Douluo provides 90,000 years; and a Titled Douluo provides 100,000 years. 138
- Wu Ling used Essence from two Soul Kings and two Soul Emperors to elevate the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's nearly 60,000-year ring to 100,000 years. 138
- The Ice and Fire Spring potion increased the ages of Wu Ling's first four rings. 96
- Spirit Ring ages can be increased through soul power absorption experiments; Wu Ling's first seven rings later reached the 990,000-year level. 245
Storage and Transfer
Wu Ling and Xiao Fen developed Magic Circle methods that bypass the normal disappearance and ownership restrictions of Spirit Rings. 165
- Storage — One Magic Circle stabilizes the ring, while another absorbs ambient soul power to replenish it. Engraving both onto a container allows a ring to be stored. 165
- Transfer — A Magic Circle can erase the soul imprint on a ring, allowing a Spirit Master other than the beast's killer to absorb it. 165
- Artificial creation — Soul power can be compressed into a ring in a process comparable to a God-Given Spirit Ring. 165
- Preservation — Wu Ling demonstrated ring preservation and transfer methods after defeating the Blazing Sun Unicorn. 165
Notable Spirit Rings

- Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Ring — Converted into a hundred-thousand-year sixth ring and used to summon Angra Mainyu. 138
- Tang Ritian Ring — A million-year eighth ring that produced King Hassan. 221 222
- Tiamat Ring — Wu Ling's unique tenth divine ring; it grants two Spirit Skills rather than summoning a Heroic Spirit. 263
Trivia
- Spirit Rings generally dissipate if left unabsorbed; Wu Ling's storage method was created specifically to prevent this. 165
- Weapon-type Spirit Beasts appear to have no recorded precedent in Martial Soul Hall's encyclopedias before Wu Ling encountered the Soul-Devouring Ghost Sword. 59
- Wu Ling's tenth ring is fundamentally distinct from his first nine rings: it has no Heroic Spirit summoning function. 263
