Characteristics

Soul Rings are the source of a Soul Master's soul skills. Under ordinary cultivation rules, they are obtained by hunting Soul Beasts, and each ring determines a skill bound to its owner. This is treated as an established, near-absolute rule by most Soul Masters. 13 79

Higher-level rings retain stronger remnants of a Soul Beast's consciousness. When absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring or above, the resulting spiritual shock—also called a soul tremor—is a major cause of absorption failure. 149

• A blood-red ring signifies a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and is regarded as exceptionally rare. 48
• A Soul Master's conventional optimal configuration is described as two yellow, two purple, and five black rings. 149
• Soul Ring age affects both the strength of the resulting soul skill and the Soul Power gained through absorption. 149
• Transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts can condense their own Soul Rings without hunting another Soul Beast, as demonstrated by Xiao Wu. 79 176

Yang Xing's Soul Rings

Yang Xing received a system-created Level 99 Ultimate Title Douluo Cultivation Set after taking Ning Rongrong as his first disciple. His normal strength was set at Level 90, while Level 99 strength could be unsealed for one minute each month. 5

His nine Soul Rings were infused simultaneously after he selected and assigned the Eight Extraordinary Skills. Unlike ordinary Soul Masters, he can use his soul skills without first releasing his rings. 9

Soul Ring	Color / Age	Assigned Soul Skill	Documented Functions
First	Yellow; 999 years	Qi Body Origin Stream	Continuously absorbs surrounding energy and converts it into Soul Power; can deconstruct power. Its replenishment was tested as effectively inexhaustible. 8 9 20
Second	Yellow; 999 years	Spirit Binding and Command	Binds lingering souls and consciousness remnants, including those within Soul Rings; bound entities may be commanded or devoured for Soul Power. 8 9 15
Third	Purple; 9,999 years	Six Treasury Immortal Thief	Converts food, ambient Soul Power, and natural vitality into Soul Power and life force; slows aging, supports regeneration, and can conceal the user's aura. 8 9 71
Fourth	Purple; 9,999 years	Heaven-Piercing Talisman	Creates talismans with varied effects, including barriers, rain, drying, calming, cleansing, repair, enhancement, and offense. 8 9 24

Seventh	Black; 99,999 years	Martial Soul True Body	Fixed Martial Soul Avatar slot; it was not assigned one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills. 8 9
Eighth	Black; 99,999 years	Wind Empress Qimen	Manipulates change through elemental control, transformations, spatial displacement, and other arcane applications. 8 9 12 14
Ninth	Red; 199,999 years	Great Luo Insight	Observes dimensional and fate-related information; can interfere with fate at considerable energy cost. 8 9 21

Although Yang Xing's ninth ring exceeds one hundred thousand years, it contains only one skill because each system-adapted skill uses the full capacity of its assigned Soul Ring. 39

Soul Ring Absorption

Conventional limitations

A Soul Master must normally withstand two dangers when absorbing a ring:

• Soul Power impact — the physical burden imposed by the ring's energy.
• Soul tremor — spiritual interference from the lingering consciousness of the deceased Soul Beast. This becomes especially dangerous for Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, whose sources possess intelligence. 149

These limits make rings beyond a Soul Master's normal age range dangerous or fatal to absorb. 149

Spirit Binding and Command

Spirit Binding and Command bypasses the spiritual half of this problem by binding the remnant soul within a Soul Ring.

• It can suppress or command a Soul Beast's lingering consciousness. 149
• It allows perfect absorption by preventing soul tremors from disrupting the user. 15 149
• It potentially permits absorption of rings beyond normal age limits, provided the user's body can endure the energy. 149
• Hu Liena used Yang Xing's assistance to subdue the remnant soul of an approximately eleven-thousand-year Crimson Flame Charm Fox during her fifth-ring absorption. 147 148

The technique's implications alarmed Bibi Dong, who believed its principles concerned fundamental laws of the soul beyond ordinary Soul Master knowledge. 155

Exceptional Soul Ring Phenomena

Soul Spirits

A Soul Ring may develop into a Soul Spirit-like entity. Ning Rongrong's Radiant Bird manifested as a combat companion and could employ her enhancement skills during the Shrek Seven Monsters' battle against the Huangdou Team. 105

Master identified the Radiant Bird as a special mutated product of Ning Rongrong's Soul Ring, though Ning Rongrong attributed it to Yang Xing's teaching. 105

Self-Condensed Rings

Xiao Wu, a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, can form rings from her own cultivation rather than killing Soul Beasts.

• She formed a thousand-year third Soul Ring while in the Star Dou Great Forest. 79
• She later condensed a thousand-year fourth Soul Ring, raising her Soul Power to Level 44. 176
