According to the inherent distinctions of the continent, innate Soul Power of one or two ranks constituted low-end Soul Master talent. It was very difficult for someone to break through to become a Soul Elder in their lifetime; after all, the Soul Elder realm was one of the three major thresholds for Soul Masters.
A Soul Elder was considered a noble among men. Below level 30, an ordinary person still had a slight chance of defeating a Soul Grandmaster through cultivation.
Once they reached the Soul Elder realm, however, they had already distanced themselves from ordinary occupations. Their strength and status could not be mentioned in the same breath as a Soul Grandmaster.
Innate ranks three and four were considered intermediate talent.
The number of Soul Masters in these two categories accounted for over sixty to seventy percent of the mainland's Soul Masters.
Innate ranks five and six were exceptional talent, and upon growing up, there was a high probability they might become a Soul King or Soul Emperor, with a possibility of breaking through to become a Soul Saint, though the odds were not very large.
Innate ranks seven and eight were what the world called genius-level. Someone with innate rank seven Soul Power had a fifty or sixty percent chance of breaking through to become a Soul Saint.
Rank eight had an even higher seventy to eighty percent chance of breaking through to become a Soul Saint. A Soul Douluo could also be reached, and even a Titled Douluo was not an idle dream. In fact, Titled Douluo with rank eight innate Soul Power were not in short supply.
It was said that according to incomplete statistics, over the years, Titled Douluo with an innate rank eight Soul Power talent reached as high as thirty percent.
A Soul Saint was the second threshold on the path of a Soul Master, blocking to death far too many people; not to mention the final threshold at level 90, which made Titled Douluo as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
How these three thresholds were formed would be detailed later.
Rank nine was a super genius, and full Soul Power was an peerless genius. To put it simply, over fifty percent of Titled Douluo possessed innate rank nine Soul Power.
As for full Soul Power, as long as they grew up, they were almost all Titled Douluo. They might not even account for half of five percent of the total number of Titled, which showed how rare Soul Masters with full Soul Power talent were-averaging a century, with as few as five or six, or at most only a dozen or so.
As for the remaining ten-plus percent of Titled Douluo, they were all below rank eight. Either they belonged to major powers with abundant financial resources, or they came from secluded clans with orderly inheritances, or they possessed extraordinary luck brought about by fortuitous encounters.
