"A Soul Fragment is a piece of a soul." Yi Bing answered. "It contains the memories of the soul, as well as its power." He explained.
"Soul Fragments… souls have a smell?" Huo Ling asked in surprise.
Feng Er nodded. "The stronger the power of a Soul Fragment, the stronger its smell. The weakest Soul Fragment has a smell that almost nonexistent." She explained.
