The real Hong stood beneath an artificial thunderstorm, created by the Terraforming Grid.
Lightning struck his body over and over.
He used it to refine the next cheat:
[Heaven Domain – Thundercall Lv.1]Effect: Area-wide EMP burst. Disrupts enemy movement. Boosts self-speed by 25%.
A Domain-based cheat.
He then bound it to his Thunderflash Step, allowing combo activations.
The cheat system evolved:
Combos
Fusion Paths
Branch Masteries
Now cheats could grow, just like techniques.
"Martial arts will no longer be skill-based. They will be adaptive frameworks."
And Earth would lead this revolution
