Flaming Red Squad

A group of pure, simple-minded undead youths that Shen Yanxiao trained in physical arts (martial arts that trains the body) at Deathfire Academy.

## Training

During their training, Shen Yanxiao uses Taotie to "brainwash" these youths to accept the other races and turn against the Devil Race.

New members will have to train their bodies for half a month before they can go further. Then she teaches them a variety of physical arts, including ancient Chinese Tai Chi and other Chinese martial arts. Shen Yanxiao requires the members to wear weights on their limbs every day, weighing at least 20 kilograms (44.092 pounds or 705.48 ounces) each.

## Principles / Beliefs

Shen Yanxiao taught them not to kill their own kind. Without any deep hatred, there was no need for that.

They were trained with the style of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps but slightly modified. Mercenaries were a unique profession of the Human Race. They walked on the edge of life and death every day. No matter how difficult the task was, they would enjoy every second of leisure time before they really started their mission.

Tigers and wolves within the battlefield, carefree and idle individuals outside of it. The more sloppy you looked, the more you could relax your opponent’s vigilance.

## Mission

Originally, they were responsible for Prince Mingye's safety. Now they are directly under the Ancestor of the Undead, Yaksha. In name, the Flaming Red Squad was under Yaksha’s management, but in fact, the Flaming Red Squad would only belong to Shen Yanxiao alone. The Flaming Red Squad had changed from a regular army to a private army (Chapter 2096).

## Members

**Note**: There are 100 male members, 1 female member (Fengling), and 1 Shen Yanxiao.

Although Kehr is not a member, he sometimes had to help take care of the Flaming Red Squad for Shen Yanxiao when she was absent. Example: during their time at the Hidden Dream City.

* **Mentor/Boss**: Shen Yanxiao (as Yan Di)
* **Captain**: Zhanye
* **Vice-Captain**: Fengling (ex-leader of a team from the Royal Academy - chapters 2064-2065)
* **Other Members**:
	+ Shile
	+ Linyue
	+ and 97 unnamed male members

### **Fengling**

The reason why she hid her gender before, first was to be a proper leader of the Royal Academy team. If she were a woman, it would have been difficult to convince people. Second, to avoid potential suitors.

#### **As a man in disguise**:

* Fengling’s figure was slightly thin for men. Though beautiful, not masculine. This appearance, in the eyes of the male undead, could only be regarded as barely adequate, but in the eyes of women, such a figure made a beautiful man!
* They were not insulting Fengling for being too thin. Although he looked thin for a man, he actually did not give people a very delicate impression. He was well proportioned, and even though he was not as tall as Shile, Zhanye or the other guys, he was still taller than Shen Yanxiao by more than half a head (Chapter 2107).

#### **As a woman**:

* Shen Yanxiao was the first to notice Fengling's real gender. Zhanye accidentally found out Fengling's real gender during the finals of the selection competition against the Royal Academy team in chapter 2055.
* The rest of the members are too dense. When they saw Fengling in a woman's dress, they thought that she was her male self's younger sister or older sister (Chapters 2111-2114).
	+ "*Just a split second after seeing this young lady, the group of youngsters, who had previously shared trials and tribulations together, were now throwing their brotherhood relationship to one side as each of them ruined one another, wishing the other party would just die. On one side they sang praises about how their relationship with Fengling was as solid as an iron, while on another hand trying their best to get the young lady before them to notice their existence.*" - Chapter 2112
* Afterwards, Shile falls in love with Fengling in female clothes at first sight and starts to pursue her.

### **Shile**

* If there were anyone in the Flaming Red Squad who most resembled Shen Yanxiao, then it was Shile. He had already learned 8 to 9 points of his mentor’s despicable disregard, her sinister and crafty ways.

## Trivia

* Their pastime is to feed Taotie food.
* They are so used to the intense, devilish training that even their ambiguous comments are very masochistic (Chapters 2051-2052).
* Shen Yanxiao and Fengling are the only females of Flaming Red Squad.
