Soul Ring

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Soul Rings are essential components of the Soul Master cultivation system. A Soul Master generally requires a new ring after advancing through each ten-level Soul Power threshold; the ring allows further cultivation and grants a corresponding Soul Skill 9.

A Soul Ring normally comes from a Soul Beast after it is killed. The Soul Master then attempts to absorb the manifested ring, with the difficulty determined by factors including the ring’s age, the user’s physical constitution, and the spiritual pressure involved 4 26 47 60.

The accepted limit for a first Soul Ring is described as roughly 423 years. Luo Fan challenges this standard by absorbing a thousand-year ring as his first, a feat attributed to his extraordinary physique 3 4 6. His later rings continue to exceed conventional expectations, reaching four thousand years for his second ring, ten thousand years for his third, and thirty thousand years for his fourth 26 47 60.

Properties

Soul Skill Granting

Each Soul Ring grants a Soul Skill when successfully absorbed.

• Luo Fan’s first ring grants Wood Clone Technique, allowing him to create four intelligent clones that can speak, think, cultivate, and fight 4 5.
• His second ring grants Summoning Technique: Rashomon, which creates a massive defensive gate and later supports summoning contracts with Soul Beasts 26 32.
• His third ring grants Deep Forest Emergence, creating a vast forest capable of restraining, strangling, and draining opponents 48.
• His fourth ring grants Sage Mode, which combines Soul Power with natural energy and greatly enhances perception, physical ability, movement, and combat power 61 62.

Age and Color

A Soul Ring’s color indicates its approximate age and power tier within the documented system.

• White — Ten-Year Soul Ring 14.
• Yellow — Hundred-Year Soul Ring 5 14.
• Purple — Thousand-Year Soul Ring 4 6.
• Black — Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring or higher 47 51 60.

Luo Fan’s fourth ring is also black despite originating from a thirty-thousand-year Soul Beast 60 61.

Soul Power Advancement

Absorbing a higher-quality Soul Ring can produce a substantial increase in Soul Power.

• Luo Fan’s first ring raises him three levels, from Level 10 to Level 13 4.
• His second ring raises him three levels, from Level 20 to Level 23 26.
• His third ring raises him three levels, from Level 30 to Level 33; the amount of energy gained is described as equivalent to roughly seven or eight ordinary levels 47.
• His fourth ring raises him two levels, from Level 40 to Level 42, reflecting the increasing Soul Power required at higher stages 61.

Absorption Limits and Risks

Soul Ring absorption is physically and spiritually dangerous, especially when the ring greatly exceeds conventional limits.

• Su Yuntao states that a thousand-year first ring would normally be impossible for an ordinary Soul Master 3.
• Luo Fan’s thousand-year first ring places considerable pressure on his body, but his physique allows him to endure it 4.
• Ten-thousand-year rings generate intense spiritual attacks and negative emotions from the deceased Soul Beast 47.
• Xue Qinghe suffers spiritual injury after absorbing a ten-thousand-year fourth ring 33.
• Luo Fan’s thirty-thousand-year fourth ring produces Soul Shock, though he successfully withstands it 60 61.
