Background

Tang Jiu states that his family was killed by the Martial Soul Hall and that Tang Hao became his adoptive father. He also kidnapped Martial Soul Hall Saintess Qian Renxue, making himself a target of Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Hall’s senior leadership. 52 53 123

His connection with the Star Dou Great Forest began through the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who recognized that he did not reject Soul Beasts. The Sky Azure Bull Python entrusted Xiao Wu’s safety to him, and its later sacrifice gave Little Jiu a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, Soul Bones, and a dramatic increase in strength. 53 160

After turning the forest’s Soul Beast kings into subordinates through force and negotiation, Little Jiu founded the Myriad Beast Hall. He promised high-level Soul Beasts protection from human hunters, assistance with evolution, and support toward Humanoid Transformation. 171

He subsequently led the Myriad Beast Hall against the Clear Sky Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Heaven Dou Empire, and Martial Soul Hall. His campaigns were driven by revenge, personal protection of his allies, and the goal of establishing an order in which powerful sects and nobles could not exploit ordinary people or Soul Beasts. 170 202 352 545

Appearance

Little Jiu’s true appearance is identified by black hair and black eyes. He frequently conceals himself under alternate identities, including the student persona “Jiuge.” 348

• Possesses black bat wings in combat, later changing into Golden Bat Wings in stronger forms. 52 221
• Can assume a Blood Clan form described by onlookers as resembling a demon from hell. 221
• Can manifest fire wings through his Fire Domain. 219
• His Divine Mark appears on his forehead as a black symbol shaped like a Soul Ring. 392

Personality

Little Jiu is intensely defiant toward authority. He refuses to tolerate humiliation or threats, whether they come from imperial rulers, sects, Titled Douluo, or Deities. His willingness to retaliate against Prince Xue Xing, Emperor Xue Ye, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the God of Destruction establishes his reputation as both arrogant and fearless. 182 202 413 527

He is also highly analytical in battle. He rapidly identifies the limitations of enemy skills, uses deception and ambushes effectively, and adapts his Martial Souls and domains to exploit weaknesses. 230 329 353

Despite his ruthlessness, he is fiercely protective of those he considers his own. He identifies Xiao Wu as his sister, shields Bibi Dong from Sword Douluo’s attack, and repeatedly risks himself to protect allies and subordinates. 348 500 508

Little Jiu also has a mischievous, provocative streak. He taunts opponents, enjoys embarrassing rivals such as Sword Douluo, and often deliberately provokes emotional reactions to gain an advantage. 221 508 560
