Background / History

Hong was one of Earth's foremost martial artists and fought alongside Thor against the Thunder Dragon Emperor and Golden Horned Beast. The pair killed the Thunder Dragon Emperor but struggled to overcome the Golden Horned Beast's exceptional regeneration. 164

An expert named Luo, whose power was comparable to an ordinary Military Lord Immortal, selected Hong as a disciple to preserve his inheritance. Luo Wen supported Hong's future path as a Mind-Illusory Martial Artist by providing him a set of genetic secret techniques; Hong's projected potential was described as True God-Level. 173

After reaching Star-Level Tier 3, Hong joined Luo Wen, Thor, and Luo Feng in traveling to Azure Wave Star for the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance assessment, seeking qualifications and greater means to protect Earth. 191

Hong became a standout representative of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in the arena competitions. His defeat of Illusion Demon Garaisy, aided by the illusion-resistant Tower of Void, carried him into the top ten and earned the favor of the Qianwu Universe Country Lord. 249 250 The Country Lord rewarded him with 10 Hunyuan Units and agreed to help cultivate Hong's Magic Cloud Vine to the Domain Lord Level. 250

Following later tournament victories, Hong drew recruitment attempts from numerous cosmic forces. Giant Axe Arena representatives disclosed that he was already among their members and promoted him to core member status after his victory over Rong Jun. 330
