All of them are a long in the beginning , but a DIVINE long is differently. They can become a divine long if they participate and get their names on the list. Otherwise if your participate, but lose, you will be send to zhe earth to cultivate. So violet, best friend of torch long and the sister of fang long, participate and won the rank 10. The father change the ranking with the permission of the king tough, so fang is in thenth place altough he didn't even participate.
