Hong waited in the ruins of the Old Arena.
Lei Shen descended, surrounded by storm clouds.
No words. Just intent.
The fight began.
Thunder roared. Lightning met lightning.
Hong's body moved like a flash—Thunderflash Step Lv.2 active.
Lei Shen grinned.
"You've changed, Hong."
Hong didn't answer. Instead, he unleashed something new:
[Cheat: Static Domain Lv.1]Effect: 3-meter field slows all kinetic motion by 10%
Lei Shen stumbled, just a fraction.
That was enough.
Hong struck him down—not with force, but precision.
"Join me, Lei Shen. Earth needs more than power. It needs vision."
Lei Shen grinned… and laughed.
"Then let's make a storm the universe will never forget."
