Hu Po Counters Yu Ye, Zhong Ning Counters Hei Ying

There are a hundred warriors of the imperial court ranked on Liu Shan's Elites Rankings. The twenty-first to one-hundred ranks are conferred Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding ranks, while the top twenty are different. Some in the pugilistic world jokingly call them seven, six, four, three, one brigade.

The top three on the rankings are referred to as The Ultimate Three.

The three of them possess profound martial arts skills and are in no respect inferior to the top masters of the martial world. It's rare for them to fight, but when they do, they cause the world to tremble. Yan Shisan was once one of them.

However, all twenty of them serve the imperial court. Therefore, the nickname seven, six, four, three, one clown brigade isn't without reason.

The ultimate three are given aliases based on sacred animals so they're like sacred animals that defend the nation. As long as they're around, the imperial court shall know peace.

Flying Fish, Qing Lin and Ying Long are the same. The ultimate three that came after were also the same.

The top four whom are closest to the ultimate three are also conferred aliases that are close to them.
