Awakening and Inheritance

Martial Souls are generally inherited from one of a person's parents. The parents' Martial Souls and Innate Soul Power strongly shape expectations for a child's potential, though mutations and multiple Martial Souls can produce unexpected results 141 287 302.

• Martial Soul Awakening is commonly performed at age six through an Awakening Array or formation 35 73 142.
• A successful awakening may manifest as a soul mark and a summoned form, such as Hu Liena's Demon Fox or Luo San's Luo Sanpao 35 142 311.
• Innate Soul Power determines whether the awakened individual can cultivate as a Soul Master; higher levels are treated as indicators of exceptional potential 73 74 142.
• A person may possess Twin Martial Souls, as demonstrated by Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demon Puppet and Light Phoenix 287.
• Some awakenings are altered by physical condition or upbringing. Yu Xiaogang's intended dragon evolution devolved into Luo Sanpao due to his constitution, while Ma Hongjun's poor upbringing contributed to his Evil Fire Roast Chicken mutation 310.

Soul Rings and Soul Skills

Soul Rings are attached to Martial Souls and grant Soul Skills. Their age, configuration, and compatibility influence a Soul Master's future growth and combat power 2 12 323.

• The standard nine-ring configuration described for high-level Soul Masters is yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black 1.
• Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings are especially valuable; without a God-Level Martial Soul, Soul Masters generally require one to break through to Rank 98 2.
• Soul Rings can unlock abilities directly tied to a Martial Soul's nature. Luo San's first ring gave his evolving Holy Dragon the enhancement skill Holy Dragon Ascension, increasing speed, attack, and endurance by thirty percent 323.
• Ring selection can damage a Martial Soul's development if it is incompatible. Yu Xiaogang's Thunderbolt Skunk and Sleepy Fart Pig rings further diverted Luo Sanpao from its Bright Holy Dragon path 325.
• Certain abilities can forcibly use another person's Martial Soul and Soul Rings. Qian Xunyi used Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda and Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer while their original owners bore the Soul Power cost and backlash 78 80.

Evolution and Mutation

Martial Souls are not necessarily fixed at awakening. Their quality and form can change through compatible Soul Rings, Soul Beast materials, Immortal Herbs, bloodline empowerment, and cultivation methods 107 122 313 323.

Compatible cultivation

External Martial Souls can be fed flesh and blood from Soul Beasts that match their attributes. Under targeted feeding, Luo Sanpao and the other Seven Cannons grew stronger and gained more stable Soul Power 313.

• Luo Sanpao consumed light-aspected draconic Soul Beasts, supporting its evolution toward a holy dragon 313.
• After absorbing a 410-year Bright Holy Dragon Soul Ring and consuming dragon flesh, Luo Sanpao shed its purple exterior, developed golden scales, grew from three to ten meters, and became the Golden Little Dragon 323.
• Properly matched Soul Rings can gradually improve even an ordinary tool Martial Soul; incompatible rings may instead cause degeneration 323.

Immortal Herbs

Compatible Immortal Herbs can raise Soul Power, improve Martial Soul quality, or trigger evolution 107 119.

• The Qiluo Tulip can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda 107.
• The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower can strengthen fire attributes and potentially evolve a compatible Martial Soul into a Phoenix 107.
• The Earth Dragon Golden Melon evolved Dugu Bo's Jade-Scale Serpent Emperor into the Jade-Scale Poison Dragon 114 119.

Bloodline empowerment

Qian Xunyi's essence blood, containing the origin of the Gold Dragon King, can evolve compatible dragon-lineage Martial Souls and bind recipients to his loyalty 122.

• Tuoba Xi's White-Armored Earth Dragon evolved into the Bright Holy Dragon 122.
• Huyan Zhen's Diamond Mammoth evolved into the Diamond Dragon Elephant 122.
• Overlord-Blood Martial Souls gain greatly multiplied base attributes and can suppress similar Martial Souls through both numerical strength and bloodline 122 133.

Notable mutations

• Qian Xunyi's Six-Winged Angel mutated from gold to violet-gold, becoming the Overlord Angel, a Martial Soul stronger than the orthodox Six-Winged Angel but unrecognized by the Angel God Examination 4.
• Qian Xunyi's Heavenly Overlord Body awakened alongside his existing cultivation and influenced the Angel Martial Soul's mutation 4.
• The Overlord Body is a supreme exclusive Martial Soul unavailable through the Martial Soul Shop and is unable to absorb Soul Bones 4 57.
• Oscar's Sausage Martial Soul, despite Innate Full Soul Power, was forcibly destroyed by the Slave Merchants Guild chairman, showing that a Martial Soul can be permanently crippled or removed 301 302.

External Martial Souls

External Martial Souls are independent manifestations that can continuously evolve when cultivated correctly. Their autonomous existence gives them greater endurance than possessed Martial Souls, as they can sustain themselves by absorbing energy from the outside world 313 354.

• Luo Sanpao is identified as the juvenile form of the Bright Holy Dragon and can advance toward the Golden Holy Dragon with an appropriate path 312.
• Qian Xunyi considers External Martial Souls suited to a separate summoning-type classification, with Soul Rings focused on enhancing the summoned creature rather than the master directly 323.
• Every member of the Seven-Cannon Team possesses a second Martial Soul in addition to their externally manifested juvenile holy dragon 323.
• Tang San later describes External Martial Souls as capable of repeated evolution beyond the usual limits of Martial Soul awakening when their potential is properly stimulated 354.
