Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Soul Beast |
| Alias(es) | 魂兽 |
| Species/Race | Various wild and captive creatures with cultivation ages 14 16 |
| Role | Source of Soul Rings for Soul Masters; wild Soul Beasts also serve as prey and pose dangers to travelers 14 16 24 |
| First Appearance | A Wind-Chasing Leopard appears in the Soul Hunting Forest 14 |
Cultivation Ages and Known Types
Soul Beasts are described by their years of cultivation. The Soul Hunting Forest’s outermost zone generally contains beasts under a hundred years old; farther in, Chu Heng and Su Xianling encounter older and more varied beasts 14 23 40.
| Soul Beast | Documented age | Encounter |
|---|---|---|
| Rabbit-type Soul Beast | Around 10 years | Chu Heng kills one for food; its pale white Soul Ring is too weak for his first ring 16. |
| Black-Spotted Pig | 50 years | Chu Heng hunts one after running out of food 17. |
| Wind-Chasing Leopard | Roughly 70–80 years | Attacks Chu Heng during his first solo survival trial, then retreats 14 15. |
| Energy-Type Falcon | A little over 200 years | Its presence makes Chu Heng’s Martial Soul react; it becomes the source of his first Soul Ring 23 24. |
| Mandrake Snake | Over 400 years | Fights Yu Xiaogang and Tang San; Tang San absorbs its Soul Ring after killing it 19 20. |
| Sharp-Eyed Eagle | Around 600 years | Provides Chu Heng’s second Soul Ring 40. |
Soul Rings
- Killing a Soul Beast produces a Soul Ring above its corpse. Chu Heng is told he must kill the beast himself to absorb its ring 24.
- Suitability matters as well as age: Chu Heng’s Martial Soul responds to the Energy-Type Falcon and later the Sharp-Eyed Eagle, while more than a dozen other beasts prompt no clear reaction 23 40.
- Absorbing the falcon’s ring lets Chu Heng break past level ten and become a Soul Master. His separate Soul Ring Blessing raises the absorbed ring’s age to three hundred years 24.
- The Mandrake Snake’s ring is close to the proposed maximum age for a first ring, but Yu Xiaogang considers it an excellent match for Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass 20.
Habitat and Encounters
- Soul Hunting Forest — A woodland divided into zones by danger. A Special Hunting Writ permits access beyond the outermost zone, where Soul Beasts are more numerous and varied 14.
- Wildlife hazards — Other Soul Beasts gather near Chu Heng’s fight with the Wind-Chasing Leopard, apparently waiting to exploit its outcome 15.
- Food source — Chu Heng hunts Soul Beasts during his forest training. Their flesh sustains him, and wild beasts’ flesh is described as more nourishing than that of low-level captive beasts 16 17.
- Beast Tide — An outbreak in the forest’s inner reaches draws Su Xianling away from Chu Heng to help suppress it 17 21.
- Human form — Xiao Wu is a Soul Beast who has taken human form. Chu Heng knows her identity but does not reveal it to Tang San 35.
