Abilities & Skills

Tiger Soul Domain

An innate domain that strengthens its wielder while suppressing opponents and attacking their mental defenses 10.

• Contains sinister demonic Qi and Demonic Soul Chang Ghosts, whose presence contributes to its intimidation 10.
• Can seize the souls of recently slain targets and transform them into Chang Ghosts under Dai Mubai’s command 172.
• Dai Mubai considers the Star Dou Great Forest, Slaughter City, and future battlefields potential sources of nourishment; these are plans rather than completed feats 10.

Intimidation

The weapon possesses a demonic tiger’s might, described as no weaker than a dragon’s might at the same level 10.

• Intimidates opponents and weakens their strength when the Martial Soul is released 10.
• Can combine with Tiger Soul Domain to intensify its pressure. Dai Mubai speculates that sufficiently weak enemies could be killed by that pressure alone 10.
• Subdues Ma Hongjun’s top-tier Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul when Dai Mubai’s Evil Eye White Tiger cannot safely suppress it 55.

Demonization

Uses demonic Qi for hypnosis, bewitchment, enslavement, and manipulation 10 173.

• In the Shen Bing Xiao Jiang origin recognized by Dai Mubai, it could corrupt Divine Weapon Beasts into Demonic Weapon Beasts and control them 10.
• Dai Mubai sees it as a means of building a following during his struggle for the Star Luo throne 10.
• Successfully makes Wang Liang, Tao Kang, and Ge Feng submit to him as their master 173.
• Limit: Their system panels display 100% favorability marked as false. Dai Mubai concludes that demonized loyalty is not permanently fixed like naturally earned maximum favorability 173.

Devouring

Consumes flesh and blood, souls, Soul Power, and tangible or intangible energy, then refines and purifies the absorbed resources 10 54.

• Cultivation bottlenecks remain: Devouring does not remove the need for another Soul Ring at every tenth level 170 171.
• Alternative nourishment: At his level-40 bottleneck, Dai Mubai redirects absorbed power into Soul Ring age instead. He notes that ring and bone age increases theoretically have no equivalent bottleneck 171.
• Mastery is still necessary: Dai Mubai continues meditation and training to consolidate, adapt to, and fully control rapidly acquired Soul Power 48 85.
• Concealment concerns: He plans to acquire an Ice Silkworm’s Simulation skill so he can hide changes to his Soul Rings while developing them through Devouring 90.

Reincarnation Passage

Can cleave open a passage leading directly to reincarnation 33.

• Opens a gate for the Diamond Tiger’s purified soul at Dai Mubai’s request, bypassing the usual procedures 33.
• The act touches a divine authority over reincarnation and attracts the attention of a holy woman in the Divine Realm 33.
• A seed from the Heart of Goodness emerges from the closing passage and enters Dai Mubai’s heart, giving him an affinity with her godhood 33.

History

Acquisition and Secrecy

The system restricted Dai Mubai’s Second Martial Soul draw to choices compatible with his White Tiger Martial Soul. He drew Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, which he recognized as the corrupted form of Divine Weapon Tiger Soul from Shen Bing Xiao Jiang. Its implantation caused intense pain and exhaustion, but successfully gave him Twin Martial Souls 5 6 7.

Dai Mubai decided to conceal the weapon even while revealing his First Martial Soul’s evolution. As Star Luo’s third prince, he feared that exposing a god-level Second Martial Soul would draw trouble from Dai Weisi’s faction, the hostile Heaven Dou Empire, and other opponents of his rise 11.

Early Soul Ring Absorption

During absorption of the Heavenly Dipper Bug’s ring, Tiger Soul’s Devouring recovered otherwise dissipating power. The ring consequently granted both White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense and White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge 25.

It later manifested alongside the Evil Eye White Tiger during the Diamond Tiger’s soul shock. Tiger Soul initially wanted to enslave the soul, but allowed the First Martial Soul to absorb its wrath first. Once the tiger’s soul became benevolent, the weapon showed less interest, and Dai Mubai chose reincarnation rather than enslavement 32 33.

Clearing Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire

Dai Mubai secretly relied on Tiger Soul after his First Martial Soul’s suppression attempt caused Ma Hongjun pain and risked damaging his Martial Soul. Rather than eliminate the source of the Evil Fire, he targeted the fire it generated 55.

Later, he concealed Devouring behind a spoken incantation while drawing Evil Fire out through his palm. This let Ma Hongjun cultivate more freely while providing Dai Mubai with both Soul Power and the Lust energy needed by his Evil Eye White Tiger 91 110.

Hunting Evil Soul Masters

With Lu Qibin as his bodyguard, Dai Mubai searched the Soul Hunting Towns for wicked Soul Masters and murderous Soul Beasts whose power he could devour. When he summoned the saber before Lu Qibin, he claimed it had been bestowed by the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Holy King, rather than revealing its system origin 165 169.

After reaching level 40 through Devouring, he used further captured cultivation to nourish his First Soul Ring. He then transformed slain evildoers into Chang Ghosts and tested Demonization on three surviving captives, discovering the distinction between imposed submission and genuine system-recognized loyalty 170 171 172 173.
