Despite Tang San having just added the first soul ring to the Hao Tian Hammer, a comparison of his situation with a general Soul Master reveals why he was experiencing problems with his body unable to withstand the attribute enhancement.
A normal Title Douluo, even with the best soul ring configuration, would have nine soul rings of the following order: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. It was nearly impossible to have a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Having one or two soul bones would already be quite astonishing.
But what about Tang San? His first Martial Soul, the Bluesilver Emperor, was already fully equipped with soul rings, with the configuration being: yellow, yellow, purple, black, red, red, red, red, red. The first three soul rings could be considered normal, but starting from the fourth soul ring, his were all of an exceptional class. Moreover, he had as many as five hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
