Name	Spirit Master
Original	魂师
Occupation/Role	Cultivator who awakens a Spirit, cultivates Soul Power, and obtains Soul Rings and Soul Skills

Overview

Spirit Masters are individuals able to cultivate Soul Power after awakening a Spirit. Their Spirit determines their basic combat style, attribute compatibility, and potential Soul Skills. Innate Soul Power is required to become a Spirit Master; children with none cannot cultivate. 1

Spiritual Power is considered the foundation that determines a Spirit Master's upper limit. It can be cultivated before Spirit Awakening through meditation. 1

Spirit Awakening

Spirit Awakening is the rite through which a child manifests their Spirit and has their Innate Soul Power tested.

• A child without Innate Soul Power cannot become a Spirit Master. 1
• Spirits can be categorized broadly as Tool Spirits, Beast Spirits, elemental Spirits, and Body Spirits. 2 87 91
• A Spirit's attributes guide Soul Ring selection; compatible Spirit Beasts are needed to obtain suitable Soul Skills. 3
• A Spirit may evolve through Immortal Herbs, Soul Bones, Soul Rings, or other exceptional opportunities. 45 109 185

Cultivation

Soul Power and Soul Rings

Soul Masters increase their Soul Power through cultivation and obtain Soul Rings from Spirit Beasts to gain Soul Skills.

• Soul Ring selection should prioritize compatibility with the Spirit's attributes and a ring age close to the user's absorption limit. 3 11
• The first seven Soul Rings are especially important because the seventh grants the Spirit Avatar, allowing the Spirit to merge with the user in a manner comparable to an organ. 11
• Higher-quality rings can provide unusually powerful or versatile Soul Skills, including ten-thousand-year rings. 49 61
• A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast can provide two Soul Skills; for a seventh ring, this can result in two forms of Spirit Avatar. 155

Soul Power Manipulation

Soul Power control is divided into four levels:

Level	Function
Enhancement	Strengthens the body or attacks with Soul Power.
Burst	Releases Soul Power explosively for greater output.
Compression	Condenses and purifies Soul Power.
Micro-control	Allows precise, fine-grained manipulation of Soul Power.

The system is compared to internal-force control in martial arts. 46

Spiritual Power

Spiritual Power supports perception, memory, and a Spirit Master's overall potential.

• It can be cultivated through meditation before Spirit Awakening. 1
• Exceptional growth can grant capabilities such as seeing through illusions and perceiving space within a hundred meters. 77
• Spiritual Power can reach levels corresponding to major Soul Master realms, such as Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo. 77 96

Combat Systems

Spirit Possession

Spirit Possession manifests a Spirit's traits on the user, commonly changing their body and enhancing combat ability. Beast Spirits may grant physical features associated with the creature, such as claws, fur, or enhanced physique. 136

Soul Skills

Soul Skills are abilities supplied by Soul Rings or developed from them through training.

• Their strength and utility depend on the Spirit, ring source, ring age, and the user's control. 23 49
• A Soul Skill can be expanded into several applications through experimentation and shaping. 49
• Self-created Soul Skills may compensate for weaknesses in a Spirit's early ring configuration. 2
• Soul Skills may be offensive, supportive, defensive, healing-oriented, movement-oriented, or control-oriented. 4 61

Spirit Avatar

The seventh Soul Skill is the Spirit Avatar, a major threshold in a Spirit Master's cultivation. 11

• It enables deeper fusion between Spirit and user. 11
• It can reduce Soul Skill consumption and enhance Soul Skill power. 155
• A Spirit Avatar may inherit the Spirit's inherent traits, including elemental control, flight, healing, shaping, and movement capabilities. 155
• High-level avatars can take Beast Spirit forms when supported by an appropriate Soul Ring. 155

Domains

A talent domain may awaken after a Spirit evolves.

• Domains greatly strengthen a Spirit Master's overall power. 109
• They can provide environmental or attribute-based effects; the Pure White World, for example, purifies and burns decay, filth, corrosion, darkness, evil, and disease on both physical and spiritual levels. 155

Soul Bones and External Soul Bones

Soul Bones are rare Spirit Beast-derived treasures that grant additional abilities and may strengthen or evolve a Spirit.

• A ten-thousand-year torso bone can serve as a decisive defensive trump card. 86
• External Soul Bones can evolve an existing Soul Ring and strengthen its Soul Skill. 49
• High-quality Soul Bones may be obtained from powerful Spirit Beasts, including Golden Crows. 154
• A Spirit Master can refine a Soul Bone and Soul Ring together to gain new Soul Bone and Soul Skill abilities. 185

Risks and Limitations

• Improperly matched Soul Rings may fail to support a Spirit Master's long-term development. 3 11
• Overly powerful elemental attacks may damage or shatter an elemental Spirit, though the backlash may be lower than for metal-type Spirits. 2
• Ultimate Spirits possess overwhelming power but can cultivate more slowly after the Soul Elder stage. 77
• Poison-based abilities become less effective against opponents above the Soul Saint level. 72
• Beast Spirit users generally cannot fully access a beast's innate biological talents until reaching Soul Saint and achieving Spirit fusion. 87
