The Soul Seeking Arrow wasn't a complicated skill in principle; as one of the first skills taught to a budding soul cultivator of the Hunlang Family it had to be simple. However, what made it unique was the infinite scalability and versatility it provided. Unlike most other low-level skills that would begin waning in usability as the user became more and more powerful, the Soul Seeking Arrow was a skill that was useful in all cultivation levels.
The premise of the skill was to condense one's soul strength to such a density that it would easily break through the soul strength of the opponent. The specific shape did not matter; one could very well create a hammer or something that wasn't even a weapon. But when it came to efficiency, creating an arrow was the best option, which was why it had been given that name.
