School of Power and Virtue

The School of Power and Virtue () was the first and best kung fu school in Xiangling City when its doors were still open to students. It was founded by Wei Xiang, and further cultivated by his adoptive son, Xin Miao, but a fight between the two and Wei Xiang's treatments of his students ended up resulting in the school being closed. This is also the place where the Five Immortals were formed.
== History ==
Wei Xiang, a former master of kung fu and student of Master Oogway, founded the School of Power and Virtue after travelling for many years from the Valley of Peace to Xiangling City with the goal of sharing kung fu with cities beyond those in the Valley of Peace. The school initially had a rough start, as many of the people in Xiangling City saw little to no point to the school's existence, as well as kung fu altogether, and those who didn't lacked the determination to continue with the art after a few lessons. It was at this point when Wei Xiang debated turning back for home, and on the night he planned to return, he was stopped when he encountered young Xin Miao at the doorstep of his school on a rainy night, then deciding to abandon his plan to return to the Valley of Peace and raise the boy as his own after realizing he most likely would not survive the trip back.
After this, and as Wei Xiang began training Xin Miao, the reputation of the school grew and spread quickly to neighboring cities. This led Feng Lin to begin observing the School of Power and Virtue, as well as similar schools, but still condoned their practice. All of this started to shift when, many years later, the following events occurred: a minority of the poor citizens starting using kung fu for crime, causing a surge in violent crime, and more notably, Wei Xiang began growing paranoid of other masters and Feng Lin's supervision. This led him to force his top students, including Xin Miao, into becoming assassins, a decision that would eventually backfire when Xin Miao killed him and Feng Lin placed heavy restrictions on the practice of kung fu to effectively strip any real power the martial art had. The school now stands on the shore of the Sky-Reflecting Mirror, abandoned and desolate, and is now a tourist attraction for anyone curious enough to learn its history. At this time, there was an urban legend in which some say a figure who earned the title of the Wraith circulated, and it was said that when this figure appeared, a person would be spirited away. Through the efforts of Zhen and others, the "Wraith" was later confirmed to be Xin Miao, who had been using the urban legend as an alias.
== Trivia ==
* The name of this school is not inspired by Chinese martial arts, but a Korean martial art school called Moo Duk Kwan, whose name means "School of Martial Virtue."
