Hundred Schools Contest

## **The situation**

Hundred Schools Competition or Contest take place more or less five years later the fight between Zhou Fan and The Imperial Gate for Drifting Flowers Edifices.

This edition holds more importance than ever because Imperial Gate has gathered the strength to subdue the last three families, and because of the rise of the Luo Clan guided by Zhuo Yi-Fan blocked in Luo Clan for the past five years

## Hundred Schools Contest

### Performers

Every family members under 30 years old from 3rd class family or above

### Location

This year King Beast Mountains

The contest is as old as Tian-Yu Empire and it take place every 100 years for two main reasons:

1. Settle the grudges between the Great Families accumulated in the previous century through a competition between the new generations who will guide the families in the future.
2. Rank the Great Families, who has cultivated the new generations better than the others will prevail. However it has always been a fight from the 2nd to 7th beacuse Imperial Gate has seized the 1st place since the first edition.

To not let down the other lower family there are the preleminaries between family from 3rd, 2nd and 1st class. These families compete to achieve an upper class or to stay in the same class. They are also the reason why the competition is called "Hundred Schools".

The few family that win the preleminaries can compete in the main event with the Great Family they are affiliated with. So it's important for the Great Families to expand their influence and take care of the families under them.

### *Events*

This edition is full of talent, the best younger masters from the Great Family are all exceptional monster and they seven are called The Six Dragons and the One Phoenix.

Most of them are at 9th layer Pofound Heaven Realm and on the brink of Spirit Illumination Realm, which is considered as the greatest status. That's why Tyanyu hasn't had a master of Void Transformation Realm ine the past 1000 years.

Rank these eight martial arts' masters is pretty difficult because they have their specialities and their weaknesses but in 1 vs 1 situation the right ranking shoul be this:

1. Zhuo Fan: He's only in the Bone Forging Realm but he had refined his body with Gold Quicksand and 6th level spirit beast Thunder Skylark. His body is now strong as a 5th level demon treasure and also contain the Purple Thunders of Luolexia which killed the Holy Beast. In his pupil he has the Golden Eyes Empty Pupil of Emperor Zilei unlocked to his 2nd stage: trasposition and spatial distruption. At full power Zhuo Fan inflicts lots of damage to his body, Purple Thunder is harmful to his body, but he became untouchable and extremely deadly. Despite his body is only on the thid realm his spirit is on a much more higher realm, he can use the Idea to kill like who's in God's Realm or in Heavenly Profound Realm near to breakthrough. Otherwise in Heavely Realm you can only show your intention to kill, but it's not enough to harm your opponent spirit.
2. Huangpu Qintian: The masterpiece of Imperial Gate, his body can't be damaged by the majority of the attacks. He is the best in martial arts, in fact he surpassed them and uses Imperial Tyrant Body Art. It's a set of exercises, the terrain method once used by the Ancestor of the royal family. Fang Qiubai said that this set is too overbearing and it's the ultimate skill because not everybody can suppress the dragon spirit in their body. He has also mastered Imperial Gate martial art and he hosted the Earth Dragon Vein Soul, the legendary Dragon vessel. This spirit automatically protects the owner's spirit, and it can be used by the owner to attack directly his opponent or to control thousands of spirit beasts.
3. Chu Qincheng: Although he stopped his cultivation progesses for almost 10 years she is the nearest to breakthrough God's Realm. In fact she has an enhanced perception similar to God's Realm Consciusness, sharp enough to follows Lin Xuanfeng movements. It's a pity that she took the head of Huayu Building since she was 13 years old, otherwise she surely had breakthrough the Realm of Gods and she woul have been a better opponent for Zhuo Fan and Huangpu Qiyan.
4. Xie Tanshu: He's a martial arts master and besides him only Huang Qiyan and Zhuo Fan are stronger. He's always looking for strong martial masters to fight with and always show interest in unknown one. He actually wanted to compete against Huangpu Qiyian first alone, but he's not a match for him, than togheter with Zhou Fan but soon realized that they were on an upper level. He almost worships Zhou Fan for his strength.

The other four are more or less on the same level but based on their matchup the result can be very different:

* Yunashan Dulong: He's the disciple of the new head of the Medicine KIng Palace, so he is a master in poison and alchemy rather then in fights and martial arts, that's why in long and wide range attacks he's the strongest. His poison killed thousands people on a wide but restrained area, once the restrain are gone his attack didin't decreased but the harm to his body increased dramatically beacuse he overused the poison. So as long as a good martial arts master approach him by surprise or while he's using his poison, he must leave the area sorrounding him clear, he can be easily beaten.
* You Yushan: He's the Hell Valley competitor and he obviously is a Demon Path follower like the other elder of the family. His biggest threat is his Ghost Hand attack. This attack can remove the spirit within the body of a person, without him you have 12 hours to return the spirit otherwise the bound between the body and the consciusness are hopelessly deteriorated. The person will suffer for another 4 days until the soul will leave defenitely the body.
* Lin Xuanfeng: Named after the treasure he wear, the pterosaur. He's normally the fastest in the competition, Zhuo Fan doesn't count because he doesn't move his body but the space itself, and even a not accostumed Heavely Realm master can detect at all his presence. He remains the fastes even after he lost one of his leg although he shoul be the utter humiliation for him. He lost even his hand and his fear towards Zhuo Fan reached unspeakable levels.
* Long Xinyung: He's the master from Qianlong Pavillion and a martial arts' master. Although he's not strong as Xie Tanshu he seemed to be the most level headed in the group, capable of both coordinate with others' actions but also to act independetely. He togheter with Zhuo Fan watches at Xie Tanshu as a martial arts fanatic and often he calms him not to rush and make wrong choiches.
