Appearance

• Wears black trousers and a black jacket. 73
• Has sharply cropped, military-style hair. 73
• Carries a spear as his primary weapon. 111 149

Personality

Hong is calm, restrained, and intensely observant. He assesses Lin Yun's cultivation almost immediately, recognizes the implications of the Lightning Origin Law during the Golden Horned Beast crisis, and remains measured even when confronting unprecedented threats. 73 105 106

As a leader, he places Earth's survival above personal concerns. He directs operations on Mist Island, maintains combat readiness when unidentified spacecraft approach Earth, and accepts Lin Yun and Luo Feng's resources as part of their shared responsibility to defend the planet. 100 111

He is also humble and receptive to improvement. After losing a duel to a Virtual Universe Company elite, he focuses on the inspiration gained from the opponent's blade techniques; later, he accepts Lin Yun's criticism of his spear angles and repeatedly adjusts his technique. 125 151

Abilities & Skills

Law of Light

Hong cultivates the Origin Law of Light, specializing in extreme speed, refraction, and precise spear attacks. He crossed the Origin Law threshold before the Genius Tournament and later approached minor achievement. 138 151

• Speed of Light — Enhances his movement and thrusting speed to the point that opponents below the Law threshold struggle to perceive his attacks. 149 150
• Light Refraction — Distorts light around his body, obscuring his true position and producing misleading afterimages. 159
• Speed of Light—Streamer — A high-speed thrust used to defeat Rek in the Genius Tournament arena battles. 159
• Speed of Light—Phantom — Creates multiple afterimages to confuse an opponent before delivering a decisive strike. 159

Spearmanship

Hong wields a flexible spear with a style described as serpentine, nimble, and difficult to predict. His long combat experience compensates for periods when his Law comprehension is shallower than that of his opponents. 149

• Uses unconventional angles and shifting trajectories rather than relying solely on direct thrusts. 151 159
• Can deflect psychic weapons and exploit openings between an enemy's afterimages. 149 150
• Cleared the First Trial Tower's Insect Clan Mother Nest by piercing its core at full speed. 156
