This translation is sense-for-sense, not word-for-word. The target is readable webnovel English, not stiff machine-style phrasing.
The translation avoids awkward lines like:
He could not help but be shocked.
At this moment, his heart trembled.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Instead, the scene is translated naturally:
He froze.
His breath caught.
His gaze sharpened.
The room went quiet.
Core Soul Land terms used in this project:
Martial Soul->The core Soul Land power manifestation. This translation uses Martial Soul, not Martial Spirit.
Spirit Power->The Soul Land energy system. It is not mana by default.
Spirit Ring->A Soul Land cultivation ring obtained from Soul Beasts. It is not a Noble Phantasm.
Spirit Skill->A Soul Land ability linked to a Spirit Ring. It is not a spell unless the raw text says so.
Soul Beast->The preferred term for beasts with cultivation. This reduces repeated use of Spirit in text-to-speech.
Spirit Bone->A rare Soul Land power item.
Titled Sage->The project term for Titled Douluo.
X Sage->The title form for named Titled Sages, such as Ghost Sage or Chrysanthemum Sage.
Unregistered Spirit Origin->The Fate-derived Martial Soul concept at the center of the story.
