Ge Hong

Ge Hong is one of the major antagonists during Xie Yan's mission to Ba Quan. He was the renowned master of the Gentle Fist Of Nirvana, the last surviving disciple of Zhu Ji, and was one of the most accomplished S Class Fighters in the world. After he became a Fallen Fighter, Ge Hong was defeated and killed by Xie Yan.

Plot
In his early days, Ge Hong became a disciple of Zhu Ji, the strongest Fighter in all history. Ge Hong failed to learn Zhu Ji's Everlasting Dominating Fist, but he received the Gentle Fist Of Nirvana from his master and lived for 200 years. Ge Hong became an S Class Fighter and mastered one hundred fighting arts. He became an authority on fighting arts, honored by the global elite. He won the Global Fighting Summit nine successive times. He developed the formula for the Universal Secret Pill, and consumed two such pills to master the extinct Thousand-Armed Soft Bone Palm, and the Black Tortoise Shield. For all his accomplishments, Ge Hong resented his deceased master's marvelous abilities. He was frustrated over his inability to revive the Everlasting Dominating Fist or pioneer a peerless fighting art. Worse, due to the inherent defects in the Gentle Fist Of Nirvana, Ge Hong struggled to sustain his fading strength over the years. Twenty years prior to the 11th Global Fighting Summit, Ge Hong had obtained a seed of the Evil God.

At the 11th Global Fighting Summit, Ge Hong is intrigued by the unique techniques of the Heavenly Whale Team Captain, a mysterious S Class Fighter named Xie Yan. He wanted to fight the impressive youngster at the tournament. Unfortunately, during the Quarter Finals, he unexpectedly loses against his rival, Chi Lian of the Blue Dragon Dominating Fist.

That night, an embittered Ge Hong ingests the seed of the Evil God and activates it, believing that he can harness its power to reach new heights. Later, Ge Hong reveals his motives when confronted by Chi Lian and the Shenwu Team, and a battle ensues between the four S Class Fighters. Xie Yan secretly sends his Flowery Swords Primordial Spirit to help Ge Hong escape. Later, Xie Yan disguises himself as Shenxiu and successfully dupes Ge Hong into teaching him the Gentle Fist Of Nirvana. In two hours, Xie Yan masters the basics of the Gentle Fist Of Nirvana. Unfortunately, Ge Hong succumbs and mutates into a Fallen Fighter. A ferocious duel ensues between them, where Xie Yan is forced to use the full strength of his primordial spirit to kill the Fallen Fighter. Ironically, two days after Ge Hong's death, Xie Yan successfully revives the Everlasting Dominating Fist.
