History
Xu Feng's Martial Soul did not inherit the Sun Moon Empire's prestigious royal abilities, such as the sun or Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon. Its apparent lack of royal pedigree caused the Emperor and Crown Prince to disregard him despite granting him the title Prince of Qin 1.
Its random character system drove Xu Feng to join the army at age eight and fight for six years in pursuit of stronger rolls. By fourteen, he had become a Five-Ring Soul King but had acquired only two Three-Star characters 1.
Currency War was later revealed to be directly connected to Xu Feng's account and companions from the Astral Express. Their appearances and affection levels are fully unlocked, allowing them to manifest through Soul Power-constructed bodies that retain their original souls and memories 2.
Abilities & Skills
Random Card-Pool Summoning
Currency War allows Xu Feng to choose five characters from a card pool for combat.
- The available five-character selection refreshes randomly at the start of every battle, making reliable team composition difficult 1.
- Characters can form bonds that produce additional effects when the required lineup is assembled 1.
- The Skyscreen confirms that this is a natural summoning ability, not an illegal method of forcibly transporting people 7.
Three-Star Advancement
Three-Star characters mark a major threshold in Currency War's functionality.
- Before this threshold, Xu Feng controls summoned puppets rather than his own true body 1.
- Three-Star advancement permits direct operation of his actual body 1.
- March 7th and General Yaoguang are the only documented Three-Star characters in Xu Feng's roster at age fourteen 1.
Account-Linked Manifestation
The Martial Soul is linked to Xu Feng's former account, enabling familiar companions to inhabit Soul Power-created bodies.
- March 7th's manifested body is created from Xu Feng's Soul Power, while her soul and memories remain those of her original self 2.
- Manifested companions can communicate with Xu Feng and return information to their original world 2.
- March uses the connection to photograph Xu Feng's life and relay it to the Astral Express 2.
Possession and Power Borrowing
Xu Feng can borrow a companion's abilities by transforming into that companion.
- Possession changes Xu Feng's appearance, hair, clothing, and combat capabilities to match the selected character 2.
- Borrowing March 7th's power would turn Xu Feng into a pink-haired, skirt-wearing version of her, which he considers too embarrassing to use 2.
- Blade's possession grants the Shattered Sword, Mara-Struck Power, extreme regeneration, and a violent, pain-indifferent mentality 3.
- Phainon's power transforms Xu Feng's hair and eyes, manifests the greatsword Chenbreak, and lets him overwhelm Long Aotian in direct combat 38.
- A borrowed passive called Undying allows Xu Feng to survive a coordinated assault by seven Spirit Saints without injury 39.
Bond Manifestations
| Bond | Required Manifestations | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Astral Express | March 7th and Dan Heng in his Imbibitor Lunae form | Summons the Astral Express itself, which charges at Tang San and forces his surrender 5 |
| Xianzhou | Tingyun, Huohuo, and Dan Heng | Manifests the Lightning-Wielding Thunder-Claping Spirit, which destroys Xu Tianran's Destruction Storm 7 |
| Wolf Hunt | Jiaoqiu, Moze, and Lingsha | Manifests the Thunderwolf King, Hulay, who overwhelms multiple Titled Douluo-level opponents 17 |

Limitations
- Currency War's five available characters are randomly refreshed for each battle, preventing Xu Feng from consistently choosing ideal summons 1.
- Three-Star characters are difficult to obtain; Xu Feng spent six years in war and obtained only two 1.
- Possession affects Xu Feng's body and mindset as well as his powers 2 3.
- Blade's form nearly causes Xu Feng to kill Ji Juechen during a spar because its instincts favor mutual destruction over restraint 3.
