Soul Seal

## Appearance

The manual for Soul Seal is a golden-covered book with the words 'Mixed Manual' inconspicuously on the top.

## Description

Soul Seal is an expansive set of manuals pertaining to soul techniques, developed by Hu Yan Bo and gathered as one of the Mixed Manuals to be taught to his disciples. These techniques are not to be passed to outsiders, only Planet Yun Mo disciples are allowed to learn them. According to Babata, the value of the entire set would be around 10,000 Virtual Universe Company Points. There are multiple techniques contained within, including Inheritance Soul Seal, 10,000 Sword Soul Seal, and Enslaving Soul Seal.

## Inheritance Soul Seal

Inheritance Soul Seal (传承魂印) is a technique derived from the Soul Seal technique. Hu Yan Bo left this behind for his successor to assist them in learning his techniques. Babata used this on Luo Feng shortly after he agreed to become Hu Yan Bo's disciple; Luo Feng felt nothing and had no ability to resist it. Three hours after receiving the seal, Luo Feng felt a piercing pain, which was the merging of seal with his soul. Hu Yan Bo thought that newer disciples would be stronger than Planetary Level 1, so the seal did not fully absorb yet, but it still transformed Luo Feng's spirit power so that he would be able to learn his secret techniques.

When Luo Feng fought the Golden Horned Beast, as his spirit planet was about to burn out, the Inheritance Soul Seal within that planet's core separated and immolated, sending a large amount of spirit energy through Lo Feng's spirit, and creating a crystal beam that pierced through the Golden Horned Beast's soul, enabling Luo Feng to defeat it and then possess its body. This seal was capable of bringing a Spirit Master to the Universe Level. As it was created by Hu Yan Bo, an Immortal Marquis, even this tiny beam was easily able to break the Golden Horned Beast's defense.

## 10,000 Sword Soul Seal

The 10,000 Sword Soul Seal (万剑魂印) is a technique that a user can learn after meeting all of the requirements in the Soul Seal Part 1 manual. Contained within the Soul Seal Part 2 manual, it is considered the most basic Soul Seal. Only by completely learning this technique would one have the qualifications to form their Enslaving Soul Seal.

The 10,000 Sword Soul Seal technique transforms the soul seal into a blade which can directly attack the soul. It can make an enemy feel like their head is about to split, creating an opening that can be used by the user. It is the first offensive Soul Seal technique that Luo Feng learns. The first layer of the technique was simply to be able to produce a soul seal blade. This technique was far superior to the attacks of Earth's Spirit Masters, and could affect those stronger than the user. It is implied by Babata that the final form of the technique is the creation of 10,000 separate soul seal blades, followed by the merging of those separate blades into 1.

By late October 2065, Luo Feng had made a large enough improvement in this technique to train the Enslaving Soul Seal technique.

## Enslaving Soul Seal

The Enslaving Soul Seal (奴役魂印) is a technique that allows the user to completely control its target, changing them into their most loyal slave. Due to the link between the souls, while the master could completely control the slave, the slave could also affect the master. When used, a transparent liquid, almost like a droplet, falls into the forehead of the target and enters deep within their consciousness. The drop contains complex engravings floating within its center. Using this technique is akin to cutting off a piece of the user's soul, which causes some damage to the user and limits how many slaves they can acquire through this technique. Luo Feng used this technique to enslave Di Fan and Bai Kaluo.

## Luo Feng's Usage

Training these techniques caused Luo Feng's soul to change and evolve, and thus had benefits outside of techniques themselves. As the techniques of the Soul Seal favor soul attacks, Luo Feng gradually reduced his training in these methods, as his specialty was as a Controller. Once he was able to perform the Enslaving Soul Seal, he lacked any need for continued training, especially because these techniques did not allow Hu Yan Bo to successfully enslave Irina and her nest.
