The strength of innate soul power determined one's affinity for soul power. This affected not only cultivation speed, but, more crucially, the upper limit of cultivation.
The core principle was this: the "high-speed zone" of cultivation covered soul power levels below one's innate soul power value × 10.
For example:
Barton's innate soul power was level seven. He could maintain a relatively brisk pace during the Soul Saint stage-the seventh rank of Soul Masters, excluding Soul Scholars-but his speed dropped significantly after he advanced to Soul Douluo.
Likewise, Soul Masters with level six innate soul power maintained a high cultivation speed through the Soul Emperor stage and below.
Soul Masters with level nine innate soul power progressed at a respectable pace through the ordinary Titled Douluo stage, slowing only upon reaching Super Douluo. Those with level ten innate soul power, whose martial souls possessed complete breadth, had a greater advantage in comprehending conceptions during the Super Douluo stage.
Within the same rank, differences in innate soul power still affected cultivation speed, but the situation was far better than for those in the tier below. For example, during the Soul Emperor stage, Bao Ruoxi, whose innate soul power was level 6.2, experienced a much slower decline in cultivation speed than someone with level 5.8.
Thus, at lower ranks, those with poorer aptitude could use resources to catch up with the more gifted. But at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo stages, high-grade resources became scarce, and advancement grew increasingly difficult, causing cultivation speeds to slow sharply across the board.
Members of the Chen Clan Main Lineage generally possessed innate soul power above level seven. Only with the support of Ninth-Grade Treasure Medicine and ample high-grade spirit medicine could their middle generation achieve advancement of
