The seven students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy flashed into motion, quickly taking their places in a staggered formation—a classic, orderly team-battle lineup.
The three at the front stood shoulder to shoulder, their auras steady and imposing. They were Power Attack- and Defense-type Soul Masters. One student on each flank hung slightly behind them, light-footed and nimble—the Agility-type Soul Masters responsible for surprise attacks and flanking maneuvers.

When the team sought to play it safe and defend step by step, the front line would include one or two Defense-type Soul Masters. This was the classic three-two-one team-battle formation recognized throughout the Soul Master World.
