Martial Soul

A Martial Soul was one of the strongest techniques possessed by six-stars experts or higher. Not all people possessed a Martial Soul. Those who did were surely stronger than others. It’s function was strengthening a cultivator’s martial techniques and martial doctrines. It allowed one to possess remarkable abilities.

A Martial Soul was divided into two categories, weapons and beasts. The grade of a Martial Soul in a weapon-shape was decided like a Sword Soul. It was divided into five characteristics. But there was also an exception—ancient, divine weapons. People who maintained this kind of weapon-type Martial Soul were similar to those who possessed the Beast Soul of a divine beast. As for beast-shape ones, its grade was decided according to every specific Martial Soul. Even though it was just a Martial Soul and not a real beast, if it had a divine beast’s bloodline, it would possess a great might.

The Thunderbolt Martial Soul was neither weapon nor creature. It was a pure energy that meant it could keep changing its form. Depending on its practitioner, the Martial Soul of Sword can be extremely various. Actually, there are so many that it’s even impossible to classify or rank them. However, some sword masters discovered what characteristics a dreadful Sword Soul usually has.

The five characteristics are: strength, anger, excellence, heroism, and centre.

As long as one’s Sword Soul has one of these characteristics, it will surpass most people’s Sword Souls. It would be fantastic to have two or three of these characteristics. Having four of them would make one’s Sword Soul outstanding. Having all five, it would certainly be superb. The reason that the Four Great Sword Doctrines are called this is because those who get them will have a Sword Soul with all of these five characteristics.
