Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Soul Beast (魂兽) |
| Species/Race | Collective term for beasts with cultivation; includes many distinct species 17 64 65 |
| Occupation/Role | Wild opponents, sources of Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and potential contracted companions 19 43 65 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 1 1 |
Cultivation and Power
Soul Beasts’ strength is commonly expressed as years of cultivation. Age alone does not determine a fight: a four-thousand-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear can hunt ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, while Charizard’s strength exceeds what his cultivation age initially suggests 2 64.
| Cultivation | Documented example | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Ten years | Wind Baboon | A wild beast defeated by Charmander 1 |
| Hundred years | Charmander | Reached this level through repeated battles 1 |
| Thousand years | Charizard | Had the base strength of a roughly three-thousand-year Soul Beast shortly after reaching this level 2 |
| Ten thousand years | Charizard, Greninja and Lucario | All three reached this level by the tournament final 45 |
| Hundred thousand years | Snow Empress’s embryo | Could have yielded a Soul Ring and Soul Bone of this age if exploited 43 |
| Four hundred thousand years | Ice Empress | A Ferocious Beast whose contracted Soul Ring bears four golden lines 20 49 |
| Seven hundred thousand years | Snow Empress | Chose to reincarnate and cultivate anew to evade a heavenly tribulation 57 65 |
- Tribulations and mortality: Long-lived Soul Beasts face heavenly tribulations. The Ice Empress fears death and is drawn to Chi Hong’s promise that partnership might offer a path toward godhood 19 65.
- Restricted summoned strength: A contract does not necessarily grant immediate access to a beast’s full cultivation. The Ice Empress initially can use only ten-thousand-year strength because of her low bond with Chi Hong and his weak body 20.
Humans and Soul Beasts
- Soul Rings and Soul Bones: Powerful beasts are valuable to Soul Masters for what their deaths can provide. A captured Soul Beast embryo draws bids partly because it could yield a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone 19 43.
- Contracts instead of killing: Chi Hong’s second Martial Soul lets him capture a Soul Beast he has defeated and gain a Soul Ring while keeping it alive as a companion. He can use a contracted beast’s abilities and Soul Skills himself 3 19 20.
- Trust remains separate from a contract: The Ice Empress’s initial bond rating is zero, marked “Hatred,” despite being contracted. Cooperation and cultivation sessions gradually improve their connection 20 21.
- Conflict over hunting: Chi Hong argues that unchecked hunting has reduced Soul Beast populations and driven species extinct. The Scarlet King, in turn, regards contracts with humans as submission rather than partnership 50 65.
Habitats and Notable Beasts
- Far North: Dangerous Soul Beasts hide and hunt across its snowy terrain. The Ice Empress and Snow Empress are powerful figures associated with the region 17 65.
- Star Dou Forest: Chi Hong encounters Soul Beasts from the outskirts toward the core. Its Three-Eyed Golden Lion is an Imperial Auspicious Beast whose presence increases the growth rate of Soul Beasts throughout the forest 64 65.
- Jade Swans: A rare race sought by Chi Hong for its exceptional healing ability. He hopes to negotiate with Bi Ji for a willing companion rather than hunt one 64 65.
- Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear: A four-thousand-year specimen has claws capable of threatening a ten-thousand-year beast, but Darkrai defeats it during Chi Hong’s journey 64.
