Background / History
Hong and Thor discovered civilization ruins in West Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Their talent, hard work, and the opportunities within those ruins enabled their rapid rise in strength 21.
By the time Bai Yang began making preparations for Earth's future crisis, Hong was already recognized as the world's strongest man and held decisive authority over matters involving the Limit Dojo's strategic resources 52 79.
Personality
Hong is calm, restrained, and focused on long-term consequences. When Bai Yang seeks cooperation over War Base development, Hong quickly understands why an official organization such as Mount Hua could be less flexible than a direct arrangement with the Limit Dojo 79.
He values Earth's collective strength over personal gain. He advises Bai Yang to share any life-restoring method obtained from the Mount Hua Sword with Jia Yi, recognizing that Jia Yi would not ask a junior for help himself 79. He also proposes a controlled, confidential system for distributing Black God Sets to War Gods capable of undertaking the relevant trial 118.
