Background and History
Qin Ming graduated in Shrek Academy’s first class. Zhao Wuji trained him as a Power Attack Soul Master, but copying Zhao’s damage-absorbing approach left Qin Ming injured: his own strengths lay in movement and explosive attacks. After graduation, the same mismatch prevented him from fitting into several soul-hunting teams 167 197.
At the fifty-level stage, Qin Ming read Gu You’s article on Soul Master classifications and recognized himself as an Armor-Piercing Power Attack fighter rather than a front-line stall fighter. He found suitable teammates, obtained his Fifth Soul Ring, and decided to teach after seeing how much the right knowledge had changed his prospects. He later became a Heaven Dou Royal Academy teacher and led its Imperial Dou Team to the top four of the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament 167 197.
He remains attached to Shrek and its teachers. On learning that the academy would close after its current students graduated, he invited its staff and students to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and pursued approval for their transfer 198 227.

Personality
Qin Ming is generally gentle with his students but takes discipline and their safety seriously. He stops Gu You from intimidating Yu Feng, refuses to reserve team places for unqualified students, and arranges safeguards for newcomers entering the Spirit Fight Arena 156 178. He can also be stern: before the finals, he rebukes Dugu Yan for underestimating an opponent 444.
He trusts capable students with responsibility. After testing Gu You and Tang San, he appoints them captain and vice-captain, then delegates the team’s tactics to Gu You 169 177.
