Martial Soul

Biodata

Power Progression

Awakening

Martial souls are awakened through an Awakening Array. Six black awakening stones are arranged into a hexagon, after which a soul master channels Soul Power into the formation to trigger the subject's manifestation 1 159 192.

• A crystal ball is used after awakening to measure Innate Soul Power 131 160 192.
• Documented innate Soul Power results range from level four to level nine, while exceptional individuals may possess Innate Full Soul Power, level twenty, or even level thirty 131 132 159 160 192.
• A single awakening can reveal more than one martial soul, as seen in Ye Xunfeng, Bibi Dong, Ye Lingchuan, Ye Lingyuan, Tang Yuhao, and Tang Wutong 1 142 159 160 193.
• An awakening may expose an inherited bloodline, a mutation, or a previously dormant quality rather than a common manifestation 87 131 170.

Soul Rings and Soul Skills

Soul Ring Integration

Soul rings are attached to martial souls and grant soul skills. Their quality directly affects a soul master's growth and available techniques.

• Ye Lingyuan gains his first soul skill, Dark Gold Terrorclaw, after absorbing a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring 177 178.
• Tang San's intended 500-year soul ring is replaced with a Ten-Year Lonely Bamboo ring, leaving him with the weak first skill Blue Silver Pole Vault 174.
• Bibi Dong's second martial soul begins without soul rings, then receives nine hundred-thousand-year rings during the ocean hunt 143.
• Red rings are identified as hundred-thousand-year rings; A Yin notes that Ye Xunfeng's red rings contain neither souls nor resentment like ordinary rings 4.

Soul Skills

Soul skills reflect the nature of their associated martial souls.

• Atlas Spear

  • Sweeping Thousand Armies expands the spear blade into a wide sweeping attack 12.
  • Heavenly Prohibition creates a pale-gold suppression field that reduces enemy projectile speed and mobility 12.
  • Blazing Flame Spear coats the spear in flame for an offensive thrust 12.
  • Dance of the Heaven-Propping uses rapid spear movements to resist layered attacks 12.
  • Conquer the Heavens is Ye Xunfeng's fifth soul skill and instantly defeats an evil soul master 9.

• Prayer Angel

  • Angel's Tear produces a tear of healing energy that temporarily clears toxins and stabilizes Dugu Xin's condition 7.
  • Dance of the Archangel's Holy Spirit restores limbs, damaged meridians, and chronic injuries across Martial Soul City, while burning those judged to have committed evil 41.
  • The angel martial soul grants extreme flight speed even without activating a soul skill 12.

Twin Martial Souls

Twin Martial Souls allow one person to wield two distinct manifestations, but they may also create internal conflict.

• Ye Xunfeng possesses the Atlas Spear and Prayer Angel, a weapon-type and healing-type pairing 1 3.
• Bibi Dong possesses the Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor. Her first martial soul initially devours energy intended for the second, threatening her soul-ring absorption 142.
• Ye Xunfeng uses the Power of Destruction to establish a boundary between Bibi Dong's two martial souls, allowing both to absorb ring energy evenly 142.
• Ye Lingchuan awakens the Blue Silver Emperor and a twelve-winged Prayer Angel, while Ye Lingyuan awakens a Twelve-Winged Elemental Angel alongside an Atlas Spear 159 160.
• Tang Yuhao and Tang Wutong each awaken a Clear Sky Hammer as a second martial soul alongside the Spirit Eye and Dark Goddess Butterfly, respectively 193.
• Ye Xunfeng can manifest his two martial souls together, but states that he cannot teach this method to others 140.

Mutation and Evolution

Mutated Martial Souls

Mutations can alter a martial soul's quality, attributes, and risks.

• Hu Liena's Heavenly Fox is identified as a high-quality mutation and grants her innate Soul Power level nine 131.
• Liu Cheng's Golden Sacred Dragon is a rare mutation whose quality exceeds the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; it was created using extracted Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline 87.
• Tang San's Blue Silver Grass mutates into blood-red, unusually tough vines with blood-colored leaf edges and a destructive, life-force-devouring nature 163 200.
• Tang Wutong's Dark Goddess Butterfly is also identified as mutated during her awakening 192.

Martial Soul Evolution

Martial souls can evolve beyond their initial form.

• Qian Ming's Six-Winged Angel evolves into a Twelve-Winged Angel, approaching god-tier quality 170.
• Ye Xunfeng's evolved angel releases silver-white light that improves the circulation and quality of martial souls throughout the kingdom 235.
• The same light heals old injuries and illnesses, enhances weapons and tools, and improves the speed, strength, sharpness, or accuracy associated with affected martial souls 235.

Sealing and Suppression

• During a god trial, Ye Xunfeng's Atlas Spear and Prayer Angel cannot be summoned even though his Soul Power continues to circulate normally 94.
• With his martial souls sealed, Ye Xunfeng relies solely on the Power of Destruction 94.
• In a secret realm affected by divine-beast aura, ordinary soul skills are suppressed, forcing Ye Qingxue to rely on swordsmanship rather than her martial soul abilities 152.
• Tool-type and healing-type martial souls may provide limited physical enhancement; Ye Xunfeng specifically requires external body tempering to withstand later cultivation stages 3.
