Spirit Power

Biodata

Power Progression

Documented Spirit Power progression of Lin Jing.

Mechanics

Martial Soul and Skill Activation

Spirit Power is channeled through Martial Souls and weapons to produce combat effects. Lin Jing infuses it into a dagger to kill the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, then uses it to guide the beast’s 700-year Spirit Ring into his body for absorption 10.

• Spirit Ring absorption can substantially raise a Soul Master’s Spirit Power, as shown by Lin Jing’s increases after his first and second rings 11 27.
• Lin Jing can channel Spirit Power into the Vast Sea Glazed True Dragon, though doing so initially transports his consciousness into Emperor Jing’s battlefield memory 13.
• The Pride title’s active effect, Contempt, consumes Spirit Power to reduce a target’s attributes by 30% for ten seconds; it has a two-hour cooldown 30.

Physical Limits on Absorption

A user’s meridians limit how much external energy can be converted into Spirit Power. Lin Jing’s 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone contains far more energy than his weak meridians can safely bear, leaving much of its power unabsorbed despite raising him from level 13 to level 18 19.

• Whale Glue improves Lin Jing’s physical constitution enough for him to endure a 700-year first Spirit Ring and later supports his attempt at a thousand-year second ring 10 22.
• The Vast Sea Glazed True Dragon passively enhances Lin Jing’s physique even when he does not activate the Martial Soul, increasing the force of his physical attacks 21.
• A Spirit Ring beyond the user’s normal limit subjects the body to repeated waves of painful adaptation during absorption 10.

Blood Conversion

The Dark Blue Silver Emperor can convert absorbed blood into Spirit Power and cultivation. This effect develops from the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine’s blood-draining properties after Lin Jing’s Blue Silver Grass evolves 11 14.

• Blood Thorn Overgrowth drains blood through thorn-covered Blue Silver Grass, originally using it to harden the grass itself 11.
• After the Martial Soul becomes the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, drained blood can be converted directly into Lin Jing’s Spirit Power 14.
• Blood is presented as Lin Jing’s more reliable means of increasing cultivation; draining Spirit Power is slow and situational 22.
• The blood of Zhang Gong, Zhang Chang, and Zhang San yields increases of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 levels respectively 28.

Spirit Power Drain

Lin Jing’s Dark Blue Silver Emperor can drain and convert Tang San’s Spirit Power because Tang San possesses an unawakened Blue Silver Emperor whose origin resembles Lin Jing’s Martial Soul 22.

• Tang San is reduced from level 10 innate Spirit Power to level 0 during the encounter 22.
• The conversion rate is inefficient: draining Tang San’s entire level 10 supply is expected to give Lin Jing only about one and a half levels 22.
• The process is slow enough that the target must be fully restrained; even limited resistance would prevent a successful drain 22.
• Spirit Power taken from Tang San replenishes Lin Jing, while Tang San’s blood provides the final energy needed for Lin Jing’s breakthrough to level 20 21 22.

Blue Silver Devouring Domain

The Blue Silver Devouring Domain consumes Spirit Power to transform nearby Blue Silver Grass into Dark Blue Silver Grass, extending Lin Jing’s sensing and recovery capabilities 20 24.

• At its initial documented state, the domain covers ten meters and drains Spirit Power rapidly 20.
• Its four auxiliary skills are Disguise, Blue Silver Range Entanglement, Myriad Manifestations of the Forest, and All Rivers Run into Sea 20.
• All Rivers Run into Sea draws energy from assimilated Blue Silver Grass to restore Spirit Power; recovery increases with the amount of grass within range 20.
• In the Soul Hunting Forest, the domain sustains itself, offsets the cost of Flight, and still produces surplus Spirit Power recovery 24.
• By the second-ring hunt, Lin Jing uses transformed grass across a 100-meter radius as a sensory network capable of detecting even minor movement 24.
