Staff

• Qin Yuan — Supervises sparring, designs training tests, provides immortal herbs, and prepares championship tactics. He also protects the victorious team’s soul-bone prizes 218 250 275 372.
• Lei Meng — Initially leads both academy teams and delegates the Second Team’s training to Qin Yuan as his responsibilities increase 218 222.
• Sun Buyu — Handles logistical preparations and Great Soul Arena registration; stands between the team and the mercenaries targeting Zhao Xiaohui 222 230.

Background / History

Formation and Recruitment

The team’s early core consists of Ning Rongrong and Ai Yan. Yao Zi joins through Chen Ze’s arrangements after receiving assurance that Qin Yuan will support the team, bringing its membership to three. Recruitment stalls temporarily when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shifts its attention to the emerging secret realm 161 197.

Feng Xiaotian transfers from Godwind Academy to study under Qin Yuan and becomes captain with the sect’s approval. Yao Zi receives the vice-captaincy because her Control System role requires battlefield coordination, although her previous experience leading Plant Academy’s specialized lineup differs from the Second Team’s balanced style 213.

The academy cannot supply three suitable additional starters from its existing students. Assistance from the academy, the sect, and other powers instead brings in Zhu Shuang, Zhao Xiaohui, and Feng Ying. Zhao Xiaohui accepts Qin Yuan’s invitation from a Golden Saber Shop-affiliated Soul Hunting Squad; Feng Ying joins at Feng Xiaotian’s earnest request 218.

Building a Stable Lineup

Lei Meng begins the completed team’s training with internal sparring so its members can learn one another’s abilities before receiving positions. Qin Yuan pairs Zhu Shuang with Feng Ying to practice rear-line defense and matches Zhao Xiaohui against Ai Yan because of their similar soul power, fire affinity, and weapon-based martial souls 218.

Qin Yuan limits the members’ early Great Soul Arena participation to keep their badges at Silver rank until they have enough team-combat experience. Their debut against the Beast Team doubles as an audience-pressure test; after observing their discipline, he approves all seven as permanent starters 248 250 251.

He makes a promised cultivation opportunity conditional on an undefeated month followed by three victories in Gold Soul Fighter competition. After the hard-fought Golden Light match completes their final test, the students receive herb-induced improvements and undertake a coordinated spirit-ring hunt in Sunset Forest 252 266 273 275 282.

Concealed Growth and Post-Tournament Choice

Following their breakthroughs, the team withdraws from Great Soul Arena matches and spends two months mastering its new strength and coordinating its new soul skills. Most rivals’ information consequently remains based on the earlier, weaker lineup 285 292.

After winning the championship, the members decline to join the Heaven Dou Empire. They collect the other promised rewards and leave the imperial palace without accepting the empire’s recruitment offer 386.

Abilities & Tactics

Balanced Team Structure

The Second Team combines frontline attackers, control, defense, support, and mobile attackers rather than concentrating every member on one attribute 213 218.

• Ai Yan and Zhao Xiaohui hold the front line, while Feng Xiaotian watches for exploitable openings 253.
• Yao Zi shares the command burden, allowing Feng Xiaotian to concentrate on combat 251.
• Zhu Shuang protects the rear, where Ning Rongrong provides prioritized support 218.
• Early assessments identify a high ceiling from Feng Xiaotian and Ai Yan’s coordination, but a very low floor if that coordination fails 215.

Defensive Counterattack

• Uses a tight defensive formation against the Beast Team after receiving exaggerated intelligence about its strength 250 251.
• Opens the Golden Light match defensively, probing for weaknesses rather than immediately revealing its strongest techniques 269 270.
• Separates Aomo and Aote by assigning Ai Yan and Zhao Xiaohui one brother each, preventing their combined attacks against a single target 270.
• Learns that caution alone cannot resolve every matchup: Golden Light’s team-wide defense reduction forces a difficult struggle for initiative 271 273.

Attribute Cooperation

• Ai Yan and Zhao Xiaohui’s fire abilities reinforce each other at close range 273.
• Their superior fire purity suppresses Yan’s Flame Lord during the championship match 370.
• Feng Xiaotian combines his wind with their flames to counter Wind Fire’s fused firestorm 356.
• His wind also disperses Demon Charm’s restrictive mist, protecting the team’s formation 369 370.

Precision Support

• Ning Rongrong reaches three-aperture Heart Separation Control, enabling different enhancements for different teammates without unnecessary expenditure 270.
• In the final, she concentrates strength, soul-power, and defense enhancements on Feng Xiaotian against Demon Charm 370.
• Her soul-power replenishment leaves Feng Xiaotian better supported than Xie Yue in their decisive duel 372.

One-Wave Tactic

• Uses the One-Wave Tactic twice in tournament team battles, producing results strong enough to concern Spirit Hall’s instructor Tian Chen 367.
• Abandons that opening in the championship match, instead adopting aggressive positions designed to pressure Hu Liena 368.

Shared-Roster Contingency

• Registers nearly twenty names, sharing fourteen with the Fighting Team; tournament rules limit each match’s lineup to ten but place no limit on the full roster 291.
• The arrangement permits either academy team to draw on shared players against unfavorable matchups 291.
• Qin Yuan ultimately rejects adding Dugu Yan to the Second Team because it lacks practiced tactics for her and would sacrifice its coordination advantage 350 353.

Training and Team Culture

• Practical pressure tests: Qin Yuan exaggerates the Beast Team’s abilities to assess whether intimidating intelligence and spectators can destabilize the starters 250 251.
• Written match reviews: Members review their performances individually; the prospect of earned cultivation opportunities encourages more thoughtful analysis and cautious play 252 253.
• Protected tactical information: Core techniques are practiced in enclosed training rooms, and Feng Xiaotian is forbidden from revealing his self-created slashes in Great Soul Arena matches 218 266.
• Shared responsibility: Substitutes receive the main lineup’s approval and encouragement. Ai Yan reminds Feng Xiaotian that mistakes belong to the whole team, not just its captain 305.
• Limits on perfectionism: Qin Yuan warns Feng Xiaotian that expecting flawless coordination places unnecessary strain on individual teammates 305.
• Loyalty under threat: The team refuses to surrender Zhao Xiaohui to armed mercenaries, despite facing Soul Kings 230.
• Continued discipline: During the month-long tournament break, Qin Yuan permits leisure but requires five hours of daily cultivation 315.

Championship Strategy

• Feng Xiaotian initially targets Hu Liena because her mental abilities threaten the entire team, and he alone has sufficient spiritual force to resist them to some extent 368.
• Qin Yuan’s plan encourages Spirit Hall to press what appears to be an advantage, drawing the match into a rhythm familiar to the Second Team 369.
• When Demon Charm appears, Yao Zi and Zhu Shuang pull teammates rearward while Feng Xiaotian clears its mist and confronts it with Ning Rongrong’s support 369 370.
• Feng Ying sacrifices a place in the match to carry Hu Liena out of bounds, removing Spirit Hall’s central threat 372.
• Sun Chuantao’s subsequent elimination disrupts Spirit Hall’s coordination. The Second Team’s teamwork and Ning Rongrong’s replenishment help Feng Xiaotian win the final captain-versus-captain contest 372.

Relationships

• Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect — Principal sponsor and recruitment backer. Supplies accommodation during the preliminaries and additional rewards after qualification 213 292 314.
• Heaven Dou Imperial Family — Institutional authority and public promoter. Gives the team the first procession position and prominent publicity, but fails to recruit its members after the championship 294 386.
• Imperial Fighting Team — Sister team, shared training partner, and potential tournament rival. The two register overlapping rosters but remain separate competitive units 218 250 291.
• Wind Fire Team — Friendly rival and sparring partner. Private exchanges improve both squads, and Wind Fire supports the Second Team’s championship pursuit after conceding their semifinal 287 291 356.
• Shrek Academy Team — Persistent rival motivated by its humiliation at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Repeated defeats deepen its resentment 253 308 352.
• Golden Light Team — Respected veteran opponent hired by Qin Yuan to provide a serious test. Its members hope the younger team will carry their tournament ambitions into the finals 268 269 273.
• Elephant Armor Sect — Hostile faction whose leader manipulates individual matchups to challenge Qin Yuan’s reputation. The team suspects further involvement in the mercenary attack on Zhao Xiaohui, but the hiring connection remains unproven at that confrontation 227 230.
• Spirit Hall Academy Team — Championship opponent featuring four Soul Kings. Spirit Hall publicly identifies the Second Team as its greatest rival before ultimately losing to it 314 352 372.

Equipment, Resources, and Rewards

• Cultivation resources — Supplied by Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with higher-grade support required after the team’s breakthroughs 215 285.
• Immortal herbs — Provided by Qin Yuan; documented examples include Ai Yan’s cockscomb phoenix sunflower and Ning Rongrong’s aromatic silk beauty 275.
• Academy uniforms — Jointly commissioned by the academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with Ning Rongrong contributing to their understated design 292.
• Championship prizes — Three soul bones, including a fifty-thousand-year head bone. Qin Yuan takes responsibility for safeguarding them against covetous outsiders 286 372.

Trivia

• The team’s tournament declaration is “We rule the arena.” 294.
• Despite representing Heaven Dou Royal Academy, none of its seven main members is a child of a Heaven Dou Empire noble 293.
• Its shared-roster registration exploits a gap left by earlier tournaments, in which first and second teams had not cooperated this way 291.
