Acquisition and Sources

Source How it provides Soul Skills Notable properties
Natural Soul Ring A portion of a Soul Ring's energy forms a Soul Skill upon absorption. 11 Also enhances the user's physical strength, spiritual power, and Soul Power foundation. 7
Natural Soul Spirit Provides Soul Skills equivalent to those of Natural Soul Rings. 7 Lowers absorption requirements and allows the Soul Spirit to assist its master in battle. 7
Artificial Soul Spirit Can provide Soul Skills through Soul Beast gene-based imitation. 7 Its skills and overall enhancement are inferior to those of Natural Soul Rings. 7
Soul Bone May grant one or more Soul Bone Skills after fusion. 44 115 Soul Bone Skills tend to preserve a Soul Beast's original abilities more directly than Soul Ring Skills. 221
Innate bloodline Certain abilities may be etched into a Martial Soul wielder's bloodline and used without a Soul Ring. 60 Innate Domains are an example of this category. 9
Devouring Power Bai Chen's Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can occasionally obtain skills from devoured Soul Beasts. 30 31 Acquired skills begin with low proficiency and must be trained before approaching the usability of a genuine Soul Skill. 30

Core Mechanics

  • When a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, its energy is divided between forming a Soul Skill and raising the user's cultivation. 11
  • A Soul Ring's benefits extend beyond its attached skill; it can substantially improve the user's body and spiritual power, allowing a Soul Master with more rings to overwhelm an otherwise equal opponent. 7
  • Soul Skills granted directly by Soul Rings generally begin at more than ninety percent proficiency, allowing even inexperienced users to activate them normally. 30
  • Soul Skill strength is commonly related to the Soul Beast that produced the Soul Ring, though exceptions exist. 12
  • High-output skills can carry severe costs in Soul Power, physical backlash, restricted range, or long cooldowns. 12 44 115 193

Development Through Devouring

Bai Chen discovered that his Devouring Power could create additional Soul Skills outside his Soul Ring slots. His first confirmed acquired skill was the Wind-Attribute Wind Blade; its initial release was slow and weak, but repeated practice improved its casting speed, damage, and Soul Power efficiency. 30

A second success produced a Dark-Attribute wide-area blinding skill, confirming that Wind Blade was not an isolated occurrence. 31 Over roughly one year of Spirit Ascension Platform training, Bai Chen acquired thirty-two such skills: one Evil-Attribute skill, three Space-Attribute skills, eight Dark-Attribute skills, eleven Wind-Attribute skills, and nine Lightning-Attribute skills. 55

Aspect Documented rule
Success rate Approximately one acquired Soul Skill per fifty devoured Soul Beasts. 55
Soul Beast strength The chance is stated to be unaffected by whether the target is a Ten-Year or Millennium Soul Beast. 55
Elemental restriction Bai Chen suspects that only abilities related to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's evil, time, darkness, space, hurricane, lightning, and possibly strength attributes can be acquired; this remains his hypothesis. 30
Strength-type targets Pure strength-type Soul Beasts do not yield their skills; instead, devouring them can grant direct physical enhancement at a similar one-in-fifty rate. 66
Proficiency Devoured skills begin at effectively zero proficiency and require use to reduce sluggishness, increase power, and lower consumption. 30

Notable Soul Skill Interactions

  • Steel Bone Shaking Gold + Darkgolden Terrorclaw — While Steel Bone Shaking Gold is active, attacks from Bai Chen's Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone deal double damage at half the normal cost. 12
  • Spiritual Disturbance + Simulation + illusion ability — Bai Chen combines all three to construct a powerful illusory effect capable of deceiving opponents far above his Soul Power level. 161
  • Shield-Blade Conversion + Mastery of Force + Lion King Charge — Bai Chen converts defense into strength, concentrates that force into one point, then releases it through Lion King Charge for a momentary burst exceeding ten times his normal strength. 192
  • Terrorclaw + Darkgolden Terrorclaw — The two Soul Bone Skills can be layered for greater combined force, but doing so drains most of Bai Chen's Soul Power. 115
  • Ice-Water Conversion — Changes Bai Chen's Ultimate Water and Ultimate Ice attributes, allowing compatible Soul Skills to assume alternate elemental forms. 96
