alongside the Martial Soul
Description
In the world of Douluo Dalu, children undergo their first Soul Power test, along with the Martial Soul Awakening, at age six. Only those possessing Soul Power can cultivate their Martial Souls to become Soul Masters. Soul Power is an energy derived from absorbing the essence energy of heaven and earth, rooted in one's Martial Soul. The quantity of Soul Power determines a Soul Master's strength.
Innate Soul Power
Innate Soul Power refers to the quantity of soul power a soul master possesses before having the Martial Soul Awakening. Innate Soul Power is indicative of a soul master's potential, as individuals with higher innate soul power tend to cultivate at a faster rate compared to those with lower innate soul power, even when both are at the same cultivation rank. The accumulation of innate Soul Power requires ample physical nourishment. high level martial souls voraciously drain nutrients from the body during growth. Theoretically, dietary intake before age six can alter a person's innate Soul Power.
The Mystic Water Pill is a pill known to be able to increase a common soul master's innate soul power level by one. That is to say, if someone's innate soul power was 1 when their martial soul awakened, then after taking this pill, it will turn to 2. This pill affects the person's potential and body condition.

Innate Full Soul Power
During the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, individuals who have already reached Rank 10 or higher in Soul Power are considered to have Innate Full Soul Power.

Condensation Level
When a soul master reaches rank 40, their advancement speed slows down due to the difficulty in compressing their soul power.[1] The compression of soul power has different levels, and ranks 50 to 60 are considered a significant milestone. Tang Hao, for example, took five years to progress from rank 50 to rank 60, which was considered fast during his time.[2] This is also especially evident with soul masters with the ultimate attribute like Huo Yuhao, who was still a Soul Douluo despite having a much more pure soul power than even some Titled Douluos. Elevating the soul power's condensation level is even more challenging than cultivating the soul power itself, particularly after reaching level 5.[3] The purer and denser a soul master's soul power is, the further they can progress in the future.[4]
At a certain level of soul power, quantity becomes less important compared to its quality, which is measured by concentration level.[3] The concentration level indicates how condensed and pure the soul power is. For instance, the soul power of a nine-ring Titled Douluo achieved through consuming Heaven and Earth Treasures is vastly different from the power obtained through gradual cultivation until rank 90.[3] The concentration levels differ by at least three levels, with higher concentration levels indicating greater condensation of soul power.[3] Each level corresponds to a rank. Soul masters possessing the Ultimate attribute will have an extremely pure soul power, hence will also need to be compressed even more than normal.
For example, a soul power concentration level of level 6 means that if a four-ring soul master has reached that level, their condensed soul power is equivalent to that of a Soul Emperor achieved through arduous cultivation without the use of soul items.[3] When multiplied together, the actual rank is comparable to that of a Soul King.[3]
Soul Core
Soul Core (魂核) is the condensed solidifications of soul power that indicate the advancement of a soul master's martial soul comprehension or the evolution of their bloodline to a higher life stage as well as cultivation foundation. The soul core can be of a spiritual or elemental type and can be located in the possessor's Dantian (Lower Dantian), chest (Middle Dantian), and/or Spiritual Sea (Upper Dantian)
In general, a soul core is synonymous with a high-level Soul Master and is only successfully condensed when a soul master reaches Rank 70. There is a chance to form a second soul core when they reach the level of Titled Douluo, which is already a remarkable achievement.[5] Those with a second soul core do not encounter cultivation bottlenecks until they reach Rank 95.[5] As the core of a Soul Master's Soul Power, the soul core allows for the shedding of old power to make way for new power, significantly increasing the Soul Master's combat strength.
In earlier times, mortal human Titled Douluo powerhouses condensed soul cores after becoming Titled Douluos through their higher spiritual power and physique. However, as knowledge about soul cores became more widespread and spiritual power and physique levels necessary to contract Soul Spirits increased in later eras, the human cultivation ranks of Rank 70+ and Rank 90+ in Soul Land Ⅲ and Soul Land Ⅳ were adjusted to reflect this change.
In Tang Wulin's era, mortal human cultivators have standardized knowledge about soul cores in their cultivation practices. Condensing a soul core after reaching the Soul Sage rank marks the attainment of Titled Douluo status. A second soul core can be condensed after reaching the Super Douluo rank, indicating the potential to become a Limit Douluo. Lastly, a third soul core can be formed at the Limit Douluo rank, marking the potential to become a mortal God. Each new soul core may fuse with previous ones or affect them as part of the instinctual evolution towards a Divine Core.
Dragon Core
Dragon Core (龙核) is a specific type of soul core derived from the dragon blood essence concentration within an individual. It can be evolved from a previous standard soul core if the possessor's bloodline later changes to the Dragon Clan's or if their original Dragon Clan bloodline increases in purity and concentration.
Titled Douluo
Titled Douluo is the highest level that human Soul Masters in Douluo Planet can generally achieve, representing the pinnacle of Soul Masters. When a Soul Master reaches level 90 and acquires their ninth soul ring, they are bestowed with a unique title. This is why they are called Titled Douluo.
During the final battle in "Soul Land," there were nearly thirty Titled Douluos. Later, the weakening of the Heaven and Earth Elemental Power in Douluo Continent gave rise to a large number of new Titled Douluos.
Titled Douluo can be further divided into several sub-levels. In "Soul Land," levels 91-95 are Titled Douluo, 96-99 are Pinacle Douluo, and 99 is known as Peerless Douluo. In "The Unrivaled Tang Sect," "The Legend of the Dragon King," and "Ultimate Douluo," levels 91-94 are Titled Douluo, 95-98 are Super Douluo, and 99 is called Limit Douluo. In "Legend of the Dragon King," Limit Douluo are further divided into the sub-levels of Quasi-Demigod, Demi-God, and Quasi-God.
Before the differentiation of level 99 in "Soul Land" and "The Unrivaled Tang Sect," there was a "Demi-God" realm above level 99, which is equivalent in strength to the Quasi-God power level that was later distinguished.
