Awakening and Classification

• A Martial Soul is awakened alongside a person's Innate Soul Power; the result determines whether they can begin Soul Master cultivation. Xia Yuan awakens Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power, while Tang San initially tests without Soul Power after his own Blue Silver Grass awakening. 1
• Martial Souls may be classified as plant-type, beast-type, or tool-type. Blue Silver Grass is a plant-type Tool Martial Soul, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is a Beast Martial Soul. 14 18
• A Martial Soul may undergo a beneficial mutation. Xia Yuan publicly describes his increasingly unusual Martial Soul as mutated Blue Silver Grass. 14 15
• Twin Martial Souls allow one person to possess two separate Martial Souls. Tang San has Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer; Xia Yuan later reveals a copied Six-Winged Angel as his second Martial Soul. 5 75
• Martial Soul Possession can visibly alter the user. Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon transforms his right arm into a scaled dragon claw, while Xia Yuan's Six-Winged Angel grants white wings, golden eyes, and aerial movement. 18 26

Soul Rings and Cultivation

Mechanic	Documented effect
Soul Ring acquisition	Soul Rings grant Soul Skills based on the absorbed Soul Beast and the receiving Martial Soul. Xia Yuan's fifth ring develops from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's abilities after being absorbed by his Martial Soul. 76
Absorption limits	Ring age is limited by the Soul Master's physique and mental fortitude. A Thousand-Year second ring exceeds the theoretical limit cited by Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while a Ten-Thousand-Year third ring is described as unprecedented. 15 29
Stored Soul Power	Soul Power can continue accumulating after a breakthrough if the Soul Master has not yet acquired the next ring. Xia Yuan's later gains take effect after obtaining his second ring. 9
Lifebound Soul Ring	A Lifebound ring strengthens as its owner advances. Xia Yuan's second ring begins at roughly five thousand years and is expected to evolve with him. 12
Ring concealment	Xia Yuan can disguise both his true Soul Power and the true colors of his Soul Rings through his evolved Blue Silver Domain. 32 72

Black Jade Divine Bamboo	The Martial Soul evolves again, becoming tougher and gaining the capacity to transform into the Black Jade Blue Silver Spear.	56

Blue Silver Emperor

The Blue Silver Emperor is treated as a top-tier plant Martial Soul rather than ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Its perfected form is recognized by the Blue Silver King as one of the finest Martial Souls among humans. 12

• It can grow directly from surrounding terrain rather than only from the user's hands. 18
• Its dragon-like aura is detectable by dragon-type Martial Soul users such as Yu Tianheng. 18
• It possesses absolute suppressive power over ordinary Blue Silver Grass, rendering Tang San's binding techniques ineffective unless he continuously expends Soul Power to maintain them. 117
• Its vines remain durable enough to withstand powerful weapon strikes and energy attacks that would normally destroy plant-type Martial Souls. 18 49
• It can be reshaped into the Black Jade Blue Silver Spear for close combat. 56 121

Innate Domains

Some exceptional Martial Souls are born with innate Domains.

• Blue Silver Domain — Xia Yuan acquires this Domain after his Blue Silver Emperor's perfect awakening. It supports concealment and expands as his Martial Soul evolves. 12 32 56
• Angel Domain — The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is naturally born with this Domain and also possesses inherent flight. 26
• All Things Breath — Xia Yuan and Ye Lingling combine the Blue Silver Domain with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, creating a domain of Blue Silver Emperor vines and Nine Heart Begonia petals. Allies gain regeneration and Soul Power recovery, while enemies have life force and Soul Power drained. 46
